Very cool video brother. Love the camera position

Lose the hillbilly teeth routine. Never funny.

Had Bristones as factory O.E. set ups in the 80's on new cruisers . Put Bridgestones on GL1200's in 2003 . They were all great for how i rode back then. Put an E3 front on a GL1500 in 2006 and hated it because it would never bite on curves or on ramps on clezn dry pavement . Just this year put a matched set of E4's on my GL1500 ..... loved the bite on the pavemeent . However , at only 300 mi the front developed a buzz in the handle bars. Checked bearings , calipers and pads , the forks had new progressives pro installed at the same time as the pro mounted tires. Discovered a slight "inverted bump"" in the tread on the left half. Did some research and found a common issue with this occurance. Parked the bike and the next sunday took it out for an approx 200 mi ride. On curves it felt like the bike was not following the line i was riding. Checked the rear this time and it has a 5/16 or more hop in the tread about 1/5 around the circumference of the tire . Sheesh . Checked both beads for mismounts and they both appear to be mounted correctly. Tomorrow monday i am dropping it off and they are going to address the tires with their Dunlop rep when the individual comes in over the next month. In the interim i am not going to take any chances being away from home on a Sunday standed or worse. So it's just as well if its not accessible to use I'm obviously not going to get a refund, so I'll be keeping an eye on them if i get warranty replacements. If they don't approve new tires undr warranty , I'll be switching to the newer Bridgestone Exedra MAX model . I've heard slippery stories about the BT models ( not that that line is meant for a Wing ) but often you would naturally have to assume that it would be close in characteristics to most models in the same brand . I like curves and round-a-bouts , so i want some tire bite . Side note - Eventhough the E4 is made in the USA , Dunlop - Goodyear is now owned by a chinese rubber co. I can't help think that ALL these E4 left side of the tire issues are all a result of the same deficiency at the manufacturing level. There is something wrong somewhere .... why would ALL these left side tire issues with the E4 be so plentiful. For anyone that says they seem to slide out....or not follow their intended line , i firmly believe they are experiencing the same E4 issue i literally just started having . When i had my first 4 rides on the new E4 tires they were Awesome.... but quicky went down hill ... fast . There is a manufacturing issue OR a engineering / design issue. Othrwise , the E4 would be , i think a supreme tire to beat . ... but not currently ..... and its costing me money . .

I think my cruise control button is just broken. It won't engage or disengage reliably.

I have a 2023 dct tour

What road hazard replaces the tires ???

Absolutely. We have so much more to talk about these days. Medications seems to come up a lot. I just change the subject until the conversation drifts into something more productive. You are not alone.

Trying to find that stand:( no luck

Bloody noisy neighbour!!

why not use a flex tube pump oil can stop at overflow?

Love it. A nice and peaceful ride with no antics like many videos. Yep I love riding that line of country.

Which shop has the patches?

I just got a 2009 with only 5000 miles. The bushing seems new. I get the cruise light on the dash but the set and accel buttons dont seem to activate it. I’ll check that second part out.

Thanks. Very helpful as I am about to pick up my first, used, new to me Goldwing this weekend.

The only reason I want to remove my rear tire is for the exact reason you mention at the 6:25 mark...to shine that rim! My rim looks like 40 miles of bad road right now (kind of like the cast of "The View") and I really need to shine it up. It looks pitted and nasty, but I hope that's just surface gunk. If not, I'll just have to get me some new rims!!

Hi John here you still got your golwing I test drove a 2015 honda goldwing wow loved it be my next bike

100 lbs more then a new 1

Lol.

You still have this beautiful bike

Por que tanto bla bla bla bla ?

Thank you for the video! So where's the best place to order the lift?

I have an '02 HD Electraglide with 162,000 miles. Never used anything but Supertech 20 w 50 Dead Dinosaur. No engine work, no add between 5,000 mile intervals. Amsoil/$15.99 qt.- Supertech $4.37.

It breathes good? That's a ridiculous statement. Traxxion makes the best belly pan.

Hi Mike just checking in with you. I retired from UPS at 62 and 40 years of service. Other than gaining winter weight I’m pretty healthy. I’m flying from N DAK tomorrow to Mesa and jumping on my F6b and riding out to Tx for the eclipse. Retirement has been good.

Hi Mike, have you used this product on your bike exhaust?

Thanks. Worked like a charm. Would like to add that for some reason the original bushing had the hole goes all the way through thus allowing the loose handle. The replacement bushing hole doesn't go through all the way letting the cable/plunger to push against the back thus much more fitting and no more loose fitting. I suspect the bushing is wearing of and the hole gets punched through. Nevertheless, great video. Thanks.

Front tire mounted wrong

I’ve been running K&N filters in my Harleys for over 100K miles with great results and slightly improved performance. I put a K&N filter in my 2008 Goldwing this winter, but haven’t got to ride with it yet as we still have snow up here in Canada! I run K&N filters in my Honda Civic too.

Hey Mike, I'm old but I'll never be mature.😊 Sharon laughed like crazy and wanted to know if this is what her retirement will look like. Stay healthy my friend.

Hello 58 this year I thought you were talking about me, I could be worse between my hip and knees oh and my prostrate !

Hang in there Mike, I’ll be 70 next month going on my third year of retirement. I have friends in their 80s that have been retired over 20 years. Yes they have their issues but they still do a lot of stuff. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Take care.

I'm a little younger than you are chronologically, but maturity wise...I'm still laughing about how your doctor wants to dig deeper in your nose. 😂 Stay young my friend!

Basal Cell Carcinoma. Had that removed from my chin about 25 years ago. It is part of getting older, but the conversation can be taken in other directions. I do talk about all those other things (rides, cutting grass, etc).

Yea man it's something that happens. I always said that when I get old I'm not going to get on the medical merrygoround. But now that I'm in my 70's I seem to be on it! And youre right conversation usually goes to that. I get tired of it too!

Thumbs up

It seems to be that way. I think it because you don't work and most people talk about there work and now they have to find something else to fill the gap with. I do like to talk about anything positive and not so much about doctor visit and medical care. 😊

Thats the most we talk about. There"s more life if you live it

Ha ha! No, Mike, I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at us. Us, as in we’re all in this together. It’s always good to see your videos. Yes, I agree, I like talking about other things. However, as we age health issues come up more all the time. I didn’t have to wait to reach 66. My wife, (2 years younger) had her first fight of 3 fights with cancer 15 years ago. Now, it’s my turn with prostate cancer. Yes! I would gladly discuss something else; like backpacking, photography, camping, the weather! We’re all in this together….

My daddy used to say, "You can't get out of this life alive." Take care of yourself and keep ridin'.

Mike, I’ll be 70 in a couple months. I rarely, if ever, have those ‘medical issue’ talks with my friends. My wife and I occasionally discuss these things. Maybe, the best thing to do is answer a question with a question and just change the subject. Most people pounce on answering a question! Take care and be safe out there

100%! Preach it preacher!! 😂 And…how was your last movement. 🤔. Trust you won’t be asked by me my brother. Only how is your practicing going. Woohoo!

Well, I just had a full knee replacement. FYI lmao 😂

Mike - hilarious! I swear, when I turned 60 there was an email that went out to doctors I didn't know existed, that wanted to check things I didn't know existed, in places I didn't know I had! I think there's something out there that keeps their pipeline going! After all, they need to pay off those high med school debts! When we were young, the conversations always turned to the husbands gas. Now it turns to meds and Dr's visits. That'll wear off, especially if you're relatively healthy and don't make all those visits. Yes, routine checks are important, but I'm with you brother, I don't focus on the health condition of my peers. If it turns to that, I go find someone else if we're in a group setting, to talk to, or something else to do. I'm blessed, I have exercised since I was 16 years old starting out as a runner, and ran long distances until the knees couldn't handle it anymore. Biking took over, and now I'm at a gym M-F at 5:30AM before work. Never was, and never will be a Charlie Atlas and that's not the goal. Motion is the potion that keeps us young and healthy. No meds here other than multi vitamin (for over 50 of course!). I hope you shot well at pool!

60 Mike but currently looking to improve my fitness. But the answer is at times for sure. Mom 91 living with us so there are challenges for Time to time. Keep smiling and take them.as they come.

I'm a ham radio operator and it's an a aging group,and yeah its all over the radio, unfortunately. I do try to streear clear when i can and talk about other topics like our equipment etc... I purposely try not to share I'm a nurse because that just escalates it. I'm not yet retired, 57, and many of the RNs i work with are in ther 50's or in that range and honestly we don't talk to each other about our medical problems because we deal with other people's all day long as it is. So go hang out with nurses, doctors, and medical people. 😁

you nailed it square on the head Mike!!! EVERY TIME its like that

Motorcycle trip !!!! where are we going !!! ;D

We were young and we talked about girls and cars. In the middle years weddings and kids. Now it's penile dysfunction. Lololol Buzz

I think the television has many people brain washed. All they do is advertise there snake oil morning & night. Making a ton of blood money off most of that garbage JMO

I'll be 68 in June. It's part of the Senior Circuit and sickness is an unfortunate majority of most Seniors problems. I'm,so far,blessed to be able to move and perform as if I'm in my 50s. I've been in Martial Arts since the early 70s. I've never taken drugs,been drunk nor smoked! I believe living a clean drug free life and staying in shape has,so far,kept me healthy and mobile. Sickness,for some elderly,has become a major concern/problem so naturally,I believe,they would tend to talk more about that. I really don't get tired of listening. I listen and give my opinions if any are warranted. Some elderly just want to talk and if it makes them happy I'm here to listen!💖
