    I've been riding a 2019 DCT Tour for the last 2.5 years and love it. My previous Goldwing was a 2003 that I rode for 288,000 miles. This new bike is awesome . My only complaint has been the seat but that was easily remedied.

    One thing about the DCT that I’ve tried to describe to folks is how it seems to change the riding experience. It’s a difficult thing to quantify. You’ve obviously been riding long enough that your clutch and shifter operation are done almost on a subconscious level. With the DCT and without a clutch or shifter to operate, I seem to focus on different aspects of the ride. The DCT seems to enhance the experience. Still have a few H-D’s and a ‘15 Goldwing, but the ‘21 is difficult to leave in the shop. Have fun with it!

    • @danhorntx
      @danhorntx ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I agree Bo! I recently got a '21 Africa Twin DCT and I've owned several dirtbikes and ADV bikes before this one but no longer focusing on clutch work makes it so much easier to traverse terrain and enjoy the ride. Even when I'm just cruising down a regular road it frees you up to take in the moment a bit more and enjoy the ride that much more. I never thought I'd like the DCT until I got a really good deal on one and I fell in love with it. My other bike is an Indian Chieftain but I could definitely see a DCT Goldwing in my future!

    • @KurtisIsley
      @KurtisIsley ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree, Bo. I just bought a 2023 GW DCT 2 days ago and the DCT frees up having to think about what gear you are in or what gear you should be in. That portion of your brain that was devoted to shifting can now be applied to other, more important aspects of your ride.

    Congrats on trying the Goldwing. The reason Honda only sells that model with DCT is that when it came out, over 90% of the units sold were ordered with DCT. Once you get used to it, (I have DCT on my Honda CTX700) you'll love it. I am a DCT lover. Especially in traffic where it won't wear out your left hand. And it is beautiful, smooth, and powerful. The only thing you may miss from a Harley is the ability to rev-bomb it, and if you like the exhaust noise. You can get narrower after market seats, if you need one. Welcome aboard. 👍🏾 For a name? I'm partial to BBW.😋

Honda was smart to loan you this bike and can't wait to see more of this and longer rides, especially since Honda is not great at allowing test rides, at least not around here.

      I've owned over 50 bikes over the decades, including several Harleys and 2 Gold Wings now. Enjoyed the Harleys, but the GW's are just a far superior bike in all ways. No comparison is fair. Comfort, speed, handling, tech, sporting riding and long distance riding. The Wing just is better. I don't much like DCT, an old school gear banger here, but that's just my preference. If you end up with a Wing you won't be disappointed.

    Wow, I’m shocked that you’re on this wing. I’ve had my DCT Tourer right at 5 years. I’m so excited for you. My experience was I waited forever for this bike to come in here in Lubbock, Texas. It finally did May of 2018. I watched for it forever. I test rode it only wondering who the hell would want a DCT. Not me, just curious I was. I never let the dealership have it back after that demo. Purchased it immediately. Now, 5 years later, I wonder who the hell would want a manual. I’ve been riding over 50 years, Goldwing since 1981. This is absolutely the most incredible, comfortable, luxurious motorcycle on the market to date. At least in my mind. I’m so excited for you, so excited to see upcoming content on this Goldwing. You’re awesome, your content is awesome and funny a lot too. Thanks for all you contribute to us old men on motorcycles. Ride on Sister… Ride on…

    The Honda Goldwing is the ultimate touring bike. It may not be the coolest, but it beats all others hands down. You will also find those Nikes becoming your favorite shoes to wear, but they are not cool either. The closer you get to 40, the less important "cool" becomes. That is just some fatherly advice.

Then, he also has a seperate video where he talks about difficulty doing maneuvers with the Goldwing DCT and why DCT makes it even more inherently difficult with the Goldwing.

You also need to give the gal in this video a lot of credit, she is an experienced rider. In Palladiono's video's, rider's are riding in circles within cones, hardly a normal daily riding routine. In the cone situation, the DCT makes it more difficult without a normal clutch to feather your speed. The vast majority of turns are no more than 90 degrees on a street and you will not notice any difference in handling between a clutch and a DCT.

Grew up outside of Toledo on the back of dad's Goldwing, so that's my next bike. I'd like to see your experience in packing the bike and it's ability to store the gear that you need and how well it does it or doesn't. What is the bike missing? Do you need to supplement with any extra gear to make the bike work for you? How does it do with the dirt/gravel roads that lead into sites? Is it stable? Can you put all of your camping gear on/in the bike and have room leftover for a bundle of firewood (or is that a separate trip)?
      Also, like you, I have a short inseam...about 29 to 30 inches, so if you change the seat, what do you change it to? I've sat on a couple of new Wings at the showrooms, and am definitely on my toes...not the most comfortable feeling, so how are you overcoming that? And, how does it do around the city...in traffic/at stoplights, etc?
      What about lean angles? Not looking for numbers, but looking for feelings...does it feel heavy as you lean it? Is it easy enough to re-right the bike or does it feel heavy?
      Do you find the computer and high-tech stuff on the bike good? Is there too much? Is it too complicated? Too many menus? Not intuitive? How well does it integrate with an iPhone vs an Android phone? Do you care about stuff like that?
      Any insight into these types of experiences would be great! Thanks Jess and keep the videos coming...love seeing parts of Ohio...loving Southern California weather, but Ohio feels like home!

    Being a Gold Wing person myself, I really enjoyed this video and your joy of riding this different bike. Love the Dadshirt. Well done on the edit, it was really fun. Signed, the Gold Wing Grandpa.

    Happy to see you riding a goldwing jess I have been watching you for a while now, I ride an older 07 goldwing and also a 2014 valkyrie. Love them both, I am not the biggest fan of the new wings, I like the 02-17 goldwings.

    Awesome!!! The more touring bikes the better! Personally, the new Wings are a bit too sporty for me, but there's no doubt they're great machines! Also, one of my favorite parts of my Challenger is the adjustable windscreen. It's a better life and Harley needs to catch up in that regard! That said, no clue what Honda is thinking with the clam shell bags. Whhhhhy. Oh well, that blue is amazing! Beautiful machine!

    My 2018 Hawkeye blue DCT is called Sapphire. So glad you got to experience the Dad ride. I was grinning ear to ear knowing the sport mode would make you giggle. I hope you get to experience a longer ride. I cane from a 2003 Electra Glide Classic and I love my Dad ride. It is almost too easy to ride,.if that can be a negative.

  • @SunyJim
    @SunyJim ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow that is sharp. I bought an 09 Wing 2 years ago, and have been super happy, it is much more top heavy than my previous 1500 cruiser type bike. I do also love the storage. Yes would love to see a camping video. Saddle bag liners really help for making sure your stuff doesn't all tumble out, and makes it easier to bring it all in to a hotel room etc. I also agree not sure i love the DCT would love a manual option. But the rumour was the new euro smog regulations were going to 'cancel the Goldwing' . But really I think it's just making it DCT only to pass emissions. There is also a concern lately with the DCT clutch burning out during slow speed maneuvers, and Honda not wanting to cover it.

    Just hot my 23 yesterday and your spot on about everything you mentioned about it
    I was blown away how smooth and just plain awesome it is !

    Enjoy your time on the Wing. Lots to love, as well as many quirks one of which is the unnecessarily onerous process to open the gas tank cover.

    So glad to see you on a Wing finally!! I personally love the 2002- 2014s. Just my opinion I don’t like the looks of the new wings. Goldwings have been my favorite bike since I test road numerous of them and the F6B when it was brand new in 2013. Peace out and ride on!!

    I just returned from a 12454 miles solo trip around the perimeter of the USA on my 2016 Goldwing. Nothing else compares. Pulling my Bushtec trailer, I still averaged 35mpg. It handled like a dream on the Tail of the Dragon.

  • @cathyn1033
    @cathyn1033 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the 2018 DCT Tour Pearl White. I love it. The clam shell side cases fit quite a bit. I have the Helinox chairs and camping cot. The chairs fit in the side case and the cot can fit in the top case. BTW the 2018 has the smaller trunk. Your 2022 has the larger trunk so more room for you. Enjoy your new ride.

  • @1davechandler
    @1davechandler ปีที่แล้ว

    I spent 25years on the Honda Goldwing, 1500 and 3 of the 1800 and 2 trikes, they are absolutely smooth and quit. 2.5 years ago I bought my 1st Harley-Davidson 2020 Road Glide Lmited and have never looked back, I absolutely love my RG, my last Wing I got it new and had it for 10 years and sold it with 98,000 miles on it.

  • @charlesstorey8380
    @charlesstorey8380 ปีที่แล้ว

    now your doing things right , had a Goldwing foe close to 20 yrs and their great now I have a trike so I know you gotta have 2 wheels but when the time comes get a Honda Goldwing trike what a way to go .

    Love the intro story. Took me a while to notice the shirt was a Law Tigers shirt. Nice twofer there! Don't make it your regular riding gear. ATGATT. Wear the gear, it'll save your rear!™
    Yeah, the Goldwings have a shit ton of torque. 10 years back or so, about 125ft lbs IIRC. Pre DCT.
    FWIW, I've never ridden a DCT, but I'm not interested in a bike with an automatic transmission.
    The wide seat makes for more all day comfort, but it does make for a longer reach to the ground than the seat height might imply.
    BTW, I wouldn't recommend you adjust the windscreen at highway speeds. Well, don't adjust it up. That's hard on the motor. Save it for when you're stopped or doing say... 25mph or less. Of course it's a loaner, so, I'm sure the motor won't burn out on you. Modern adjustable screens do have beefier motors (possibly), but I'd avoid it just the same.
    I know a couple of guys that can RIDE that own Goldwings. They love them. Great for clocking miles, they say. One of em is a Harley fan, too. The other wouldn't be caught dead on one. lol. Some people...
    Looks like I may need to see you soon at a MA meeting. My name is Ride and I am a Motoholic.
    Clamshell bags have their benefits. You just need to pack different. I have some clamshell Pelican bags on my F800GS. The lid drops down to like a shelf while I'm messing with my cameras, or digging for gloves, etc. Of course, if I don't put some things in bags and just shove em in the bag loose, well... I've never dumped half the contents on the ground at least. My Road King has top lids, so that's not a problem, but they're oddly shaped and hold way less. I just adapt.

    Congrats on the loaner! I can't wait to see all the crazy videos you're gonna make. I'd love to see a trip to NYC. And as far as a name... Violet after the character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. She was the one that turned in to a giant blue berry.

    I'm really shocked but I love it! It looks amazing! I prefer the grey/black but it's actually a good looking bike... and that is coming from a guy who usually loves cafe racer/retro motorcycles.
