A friend of ours that lives in Waco, had a 2006 Goldwing Trike and couldn't ride it anymore and then let it sit for a few years. He told my wife if she wanted it, to come and pick it up and take it home. Giving it to us for free, we couldn't pass that up so in March we drove from So. Calif. to Waco and spent a couple of days with our friends and picked up the trike. It didn't run so we brought a trailer. We left Waco and was headed to Little River Academy where we have more friends. On the way there they told us to stop at Buc-ees and we did. That was in Temple, Texas. I was really amazed at how BIG that place was. I took lots of pictures. If they had those out here in California, they would be busy too. Great video. I like riding those out of the way roads with very little traffic. Would love to see more videos of you exploring roads in Texas. Ride Safe.
@@David-yp4fl We went through everything. The tires were over 10 years old and the air filter had a mice nest in it. The bike was completely serviced, all fluids changed, and all buttons and controls checked. Fork seals done and brake/clutch fluid flushed. Bike is ready to ride at least 5,000 miles without any service to be done. The bike only has 46,000 miles on it. I would say with the hotels, gas, and getting the bike serviced, it cost us about $3,000.00. Not bad for a $20,000 Trike!
I would encourage you to visit an ortho Dr. I have some experience with this. I remember it was bothering you before the accident. Sounds like arthritis which has been aggravated by the fall.
One hour later and I've been wrestling with the chin strap of my brand new Neotec 2 helmet. I am what the nice lady at the parts department called "well loved" and it took me an hour... oh boy, brisket!!.. to extend it to its max length. By then it had clouded over, which means the rain is coming. NZ has become rather waterlogged this winter with many regions suffering. Totally enjoy Cruiseman's content. I do get jealous of the prices you pay in the US, not only for your bikes but all the parts and accessories, not to mention your gas prices. Our prices are going up 25% at the end of the month due to government hiking the petrol tax. Yes folks, gas is petrol here, and gas is what the cowboys had in the campfire scene in "Blazing Saddles."
So glad to see a Moto vlog from somewhere other than ride home from breakfast. Lot better watching keep it up. Bucees is kinda fun. Really like the pulled pork.
I used to ride out in that area about 25 years ago. Around Celina, Pilots Point, Gunter and Van Alstyne it was perfect. Nothing but old farm houses and wind mills. You had to watch out for tractors and hay trucks, but other than that, it was nothing but fields, switchbacks twisties, hills and highway. Now, it's rapidly becoming over-developed.
I hear you Longrider188. But still beautiful areas. Those old Main streets and the quaintness of small town feel has largely been kept. Updated and improved, yes. Much for good, some as you mention, the population boom and all that goes with it. Early morning rides and visits still offer much of the greatness about these areas. IMHO. Life rolls on and so do we. Peace
It's the middle of winter here in NZ but we've had a break in the constant rain. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses the "grab the pants leg" technique of mounting a Goldwing. Mine's a GL1500SE trike. My spinal stenosis put paid to riding on two wheels. I'm off for some ride therapy before the next lot of rain.
In 35 years of motorcycling, I only used a GPS once and I found it so distracting, that I never did it again! I usually just look up the directions on my phone and memorize them ahead of time.
Cruiseman, I like to explore new roads in the backwoods of Kentucky, too. Had to turn around a time or two but, what the heck. Great music on this video.
What a nice morning run! We don't have anything like a Buckey's here in the Pacific NW. I have seen many bloggers shoot vid's about and in Buckey's. I think either you all are really bored there or they are something special. 😅🤣😂
Enjoyed the video Chris. Wife, daughter and myself have gone to several INDYCAR races there at Ft Worth. There is a Buc-ees across the road from the track as you might know. I was amazed at the beef jerky wall. The bathroom was a sight to behold.
I ride FM 455 quite often and enjoy it. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded with bikes on weekends. If I want something with a little less traffic I’ll go a little farther north and ride FM 902 from Tom Bean to Collinsville.
Yes humid like Houston and the Gulf. Nice ride out there Cruise. Days following this ride as you know we are getting heat indexes of 115+. With 103 actual. Love the music. Love the backroads. Great to see and have you back out on the trusty steed again. Hasn’t been the same. Now, where are your highways pegs Cruise? Ride safe and ride often. ATGATT.
Good that you can get to a nice little ride in the DFW area . Not quite as nice as your rides in Rice Lake, but then, you didn't have to travel as far to get to them. Don't see how you can tolerate that 90+ heat, even with a mesh jacket. White helmet probably helps in deflecting heat so your brain doesn't boil. Glad there didn't seem to be many traffic stops along the way. Good luck with your hip
I am moving to Arlington area from California in a few weeks due to work. Been wanting to move to Texas for twenty years but work never allowed it. Looking forward to seeing you on the road or at Buc-ee's!
Re: hip pain after mounting the MC - what seems to work for me is standing up on the footpegs for a few seconds, then sitting back down. That seems to get everything back in alignment (?), and I'm good usually for the rest of the day. Good luck...
I live in southwest Carrollton. I take 35 to Denton, then find my way to 455 and take it to 75. When I take the wife, we like to stop at Lucy’s on the square in Celina for brunch. I would love to learn of anymore fun scenic rides in the DFW area. I know there’s an app Calimoto, that maps the fun route, but I wish Google, Apple and Waze would offer entertaining route options as well.
Not good that you're having right hip pain. I had to switch from cruiser type motorcycles to more up-right bikes like the Honda ST1300,, and eventually the Gold Wing. Had a right hip replacement in 2019. 99 With humidity would be bad. 99 out in Utah with our humidity levels is doable...
Your definitely braver than I when you pulled off the shoulder of the highway,even with your “E” flashers on. My tendency is pull my GW off and program my devices where I can see traffic from both directions. Your probably a well seasoned rider,but where you were stopped on the shoulder would be asking to get rear ended…Too many distracted chicken brains out there. Good call on the prediction of the white SUV cutting you off.
Yep ride like you are invisible, never park in a blind spot, aways have an out... to both right and left if possible. Being right on a m/c = trouble and heartache..... it's better to be safe and astute! But what do I know, I only raced for a few years and have been riding since 1967..... I am still a newby!
Thanks for the video, I'm looking to buy next year a goldwing tour DCT(they are hard to find in canada). My question is you talk about your Garmin gps, does the Honda build in gps is bad? I'm sure this in in a previous video but can I ask you what type of Garmin and what did you use to fix it to the handlebars? thanks.
I'm going to be a contrarian here - I have had no issues with the Honda GPS. It does what I want it to do, and I don't have to worry about it being stolen every time my back is turned. I see no reason to spent big $$ for something else.
Cruiseman I was hoping that you might be able to help me with a problem I have with my 2006 wing the display screen cuts in and out but it also has some blank spots do you have any advice Michael Mustered Spokane WA.
Hi Cruiseman, couple of questions if you please. What is the range left in your tank when the low fuel light comes on? and how low (range) do you let it get before you normally fill up? Cheers
Hi Cruiserman, OldBikerBob here in the UK. Have watched, and enjoyed, many of your video’s. Looking for your guidance on Garmin Zumo XT. Have installed it, as per your video, and have a Sena 10c Evo camera headset. Problem i have is i cannot get Apple CarPlay, and directions via Bluetooth from the Garmin, at the same time. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Make sure that your phone is not paired to the motorcycle via Bluetooth, only plugged in to the USB. Pairing your phone to the GPS may also cause some interference with CarPlay, I have not fully tested that yet. Use CarPlay for phone calls, texts, etc. not the Garmin.
i have a new honda goldwing 2023 , but i have problem with the engine, and i really don't know what's happened, i can send you the video if you don't mind and maybe you can help me to analyze the problem

Mount and dismount from the highside. Place your right foot on the right footboard, stand up and put your left leg over the seat as you sit down

When stopped at Buc'ees, always gas up.
Nice pace to the video and I love the interior videos of Buc-kees.

What I find is that by riding on these remote roads, you see only local traffic.

Get further off the road. Shoulder is scary. I pull all the way into parking lots.

I almost pulled into the closest pull off but there was a lot of loose gravel, and not much traffic coming up from behind.

GOOD LUCK ON THE NEW GOLDWING ♥️💜💖
Sadly the built in NAV leaves a lot to be desired! MANY folks opt for other solutions.
The built in GPS is ok if you just want a map to look at. For planning trips and such use something else.
He mentioned at the start he's using the new Garmin XT2. It's a nice unit. You get all the mounting hardware with it.
I'm going to be a contrarian here - I have had no issues with the Honda GPS. It does what I want it to do, and I don't have to worry about it being stolen every time my back is turned. I see no reason to spent big $$ for something else.
Were you being ironic when you named this one Twisty? 😁
Greetings and salutations from Mississippi 🇺🇲
Try stepping on left front driver peg then throw your leg over.
Yes, unlike Ian Botham, I too have problems getting my leg over. (Reference to a famous cricket commentary to all you non-cricketers).
