Hi Robert, it is always a pleasure to see you. It was interesting comparing notes on our Colorado trips. Thank you for coming to Arlington for breakfast. Thank you for mentioning my channel. I think that you would really like the highway pegs. I did not have them when I made my trip but I put them on as soon as I got back. I now have the Goldstrike 3 way adjustable highway pegs. I love them! I will be praying for you and your family. Hope to see you again soon. Ride safely, my friend!
Tom so very kind... after I left this morning I thought dang, I should have at least got a photo of our very similar bikes next to each other.... Next time !! God Bless you Tom.
Hey there Robert. Great run down of an equipment review. Yes. I do agree with you. Highway pegs are a necessary accessory for a long trip. I couldn’t do without mine. They make it a lot easier to last longer on the bike between stops even with an upgraded seat. That ability to stretch out is invaluable. Thanks again for your video work from one of your Canadian viewers.🇨🇦
David, welcome back and thank you for tuning in all the way from Canada! My camera want's to get up there very bad !! It's on my list. Thank you for the kind words and for watching !
Well I hope you enjoy your upcoming Iceland trip. There was a note on the weather channel yesterday to watch out for the northern lights but we are a little too far south and far to much light pollution. They really are stunning. I’ve seen them in northern Saskatchewan.
It's great to see you out and about again, Robert! I so enjoy your vlog for the quality conversation and observations you always offer. In my saved playlists labeled "Goldwing Talk and Ride," you are the predominant contributor for a good reason. This was a perfect one! As you know, it is my plan to get a new GW after the New Year and my list of accessories will be decided from your list and Cruiseman's suggestions. I would have enjoyed a snippet of conversation with Tom on this one. Maybe next time. Ride safe, my friend, and as you say, albeit it is virtual in nature, I do consider you a friend, and living in Wimberley, I would have to get up a little earlier than you guys to make the coffee meet-up, but you can bet I will once the new GW is in my possession. I will not ride my stripped-down Road King for that turnaround LOL!
I had plans to include Tom, a brief conversation at the table but the restaurant was quite a bit more full than I anticipated. Feels weird filming in a room full of people. So I didn't get any footage but I certainly didn't want to leave Tom out as that was my main purpose for the day. There will be more opportunities. I bet you can't wait to get that Goldwing, and 50th anniversary at that. AND, ok Wimberly is quite a haul for breakfast :) You are certainly welcome.
Thanks for sharing. My wife & I rode the Cortez, Durango, Silverton & Ouray route several times, even rode the steam train out of Durango. We also toured Estes Park but then fell in love with Santa Fe, Española, Chama (another steam train ride), Tierra Amarilla where we bought a hand-woven tapestry/ rug on payments to the maker via a handshake deal. I haven't ridden for about 6 weeks due to knee replacement surgery... not fun.
Oof Nick! Knee replacement, sorry bud, but I hope this temporary set back allows for extended life on the bike ultimately. Thanks as always for watching and commenting !! Hi Mary !!
Hey there Robert, thanks for your performance video. It's always nice to hear how things worked out on a long road trip. We have to take the good as well as the bad. I know you were a little worried about your neck and I am happy your new helmet and camera mounting helped with that issue. It seems like the Bluetooth and Navigation are always an issue but we figure out how to deal with it as we go. Great community of people here and I am blessed to be part of the group. Ride safe my friend.
A lot of good information, Robert. Foot pegs and the F4 Custom Windshield are in my long-term plans. My current windshield is the Show Chrome tall. Again, good information.
Thanks for the great report on the equipment you used, very helpful! I hope you can get Mac and Bryan to at least make an appearance on one of your videos - I'd like to know more of the inside scoop on Bryan's purchase of Cruiseman's former Goldwing, if possible.
I have 2 neotec 2 helmets. I did have the Integrated intercom. It was terrible. I went from a pactalk bold to the sena. It lasted 3 days. I put the pactalk bold back on. I wish the mesh technology would work across sena and cardo. I agree the neotec is heavy. I have a c4 to c7 fusion. I was hoping the neotec 3 would be lighter. I've heard not. The ultimate seat. I am waiting on samples to aprove the colors and texture. The stock seat is pretty rough. Im glad of your review of that seat. When i met you guys on my way to Ouray, my butt hurt. 2 up, it's even worse. I used the air hawk on my trip on my vstar 1300 to Key West. I have the BT moto ecm flash. I noticed no difference in fuel economy. I, too, got in excess of 50mpg. I had a total trip average of 47.6. That includes riding around Durango and back in to Abq in pretty heavy traffic. I want to thank you guys again for your videos about that trip early on. That was a well needed break from everything that was going on in my life. Just a beautiful trip. I highly recommend it. Be safe.
@@GoldRyderOne Take your time and enjoy every single mile Mac. Fuels stops stretch out, hydrate or more frequently if you feel it. Wonderful times await. Slow & steady mate.
Should have let us know about the get together we would have come over. That location is about halfway from our house to the normal breakfast location.
Thanks Robert for sharing
Love that there are planes trying to race you in this vlog! Good info, and so glad your trip went so well. Highway pegs are a life saver.
What? now I need to go back and look... I did pass DFW international thought on my way.
Nicely done, Robert. The lower air deflectors did the trick on my Lake Superior Trip when it was chilly in the morning.
Mark thank you for watching and for the kind words !

@@robertwhitemoto As you stated, the caliber of men I would be meeting with would be worth the trip.

Mac, we all have a never ending list 🙂👍🏻
Thanks for the review of your trip Robert. Highly recommend highway pegs. They really help especially with long distance riding,imho.
Mike, thank you for watching. I believe highway pegs are in my future.
I need that rain suit. Good video.
Thank you!

Devin, thank you for watching and commenting. I am super happy you were able to unwind up in CO! I know I did :-)
Although I am not a Goldwing owner, I do have an FJR1300 and have dreamt of owning one since I was 8 or 9....more than 40 years ago!
50th anniversary ... coming to a garage near you :)
Great video Robert. Thank you. Do you have the 20" clear f4?
Eric, yes, but not the wide version… it very closely matches the stock windshield. Thank you for watching.
@robertwhitemoto love you man...
Thank you Robert.@robertwhitemoto
Yes, see you October 27th.
See you Mac!
@@roadglide Never ridden a motorcycle that far because I was always on a sports bike. This should be fun.
@@GoldRyderOne

@roadglide Slow and steady. I think Bearded Biker out of West Virginia is going to join me on the journey.
@@GoldRyderOne
The more the merrier Mac! Until then. Live your best life!
I use a gel pad from pro pad Inc and also regular hiway pegs from revco similar to crusmans they don't flex at all gps has to be from the blue tooth
Thank you Art, for watching and commenting !!

@@robertwhitemoto no worries we are those old wing rider with lots of free time..
