Goldwing is out

[Grumpy Ole Codger]

AND all the Wing owners I know are WANKERS

Really?? Never mind, I'm sure they have opinions too

Don't have any thing against goldwings but realize it is not my cup of tea. The salesman different story.

Left early for work and met up at the local Honda shop to test ride a 2019 Goldwing. Forget it. Way to many buttons and gizmos. Sat there for over 15 minutes going over all the controls. Never did figure it all out. Took off and dam$ near got ran over. No get up and go. Very disappointed. Figured I"ll throw the towel end and just rebuild the Harley. I flat give up on the New Bikes. Sport or full dressers they are all with so many faults that it is ridiculous. Nothing fits. Floor boards or pegs in the wrong spot. Handle bars position sucks. Man what are the bike manufactures building? Am six foot and average build and so far every bike i have test road just flat out sucks. $uck it. Rebuild the Harley and be happy. No traction control,No ABS, No sport mode, No rain control(What ever the $uck that is)no radar #hit that tells me i got lost again and the hole dam$ thing has convinced me that all you really need is a strong motor and set of Balls. Did not like the fairing and the windshield either. Fancy shock system Fuc$ it. It is a bike for crown out loud not a fuc%ing Cadillac. What the Fuc%. Who the Hel$ cares if it smooth while your getting run over by a Fuc4ing Toyota. Don't think I"ll ever get a job as a new bike review person but they can have it. Done with it.

Hey, we still have the Aprilia

The F6B's are much better...less gizmo's...bigger and look better IMHO. 2017 I believe was the last year. Obviously don't expect the power of the Rocket but on the other hand expect the durability of Honda. These motors routinely go 500,000 miles!

I have a friend with a 'Wing'...we go back 40 odd years...He loves his cos he does a lot of touring...club meets etc. His wife enjoys the comfort too.
Not for me but what the hell?. suits his needs.
Met a guy in the pub car park yesterday. He has a new Indian Chief Vintage. He tried a Speedmaster 1200cc but his wife has arthritis in her left hip and the speedy cramped her up. The salesman said he could take the Indian out for the day and when he returned he was sold. The wife loved it too which helped i guess. Nice in black with tan seat and saddlebags. Not me yet tho.

YES one of the WANKERS I know is 5 foot 3 and cant touch the ground never travels at all and rides around the inner city 99 percent of the time and has fallen over while stopped about a dozen times SO WHAT ELSE CAN I CALL HIM ?

I kinda liked the review! Go test ride a few more and let the pen flow sir, by the time your done reviewing all the new rigs you’ll probably fall in love with the rocket all over again.

Cheers

Ok for comparison my brother bought a Valkerye in 2016 and after riding my R3R he went out and bought a new R3R in 2017 - he prefers to ride the R3R it has more in every aspect, better ride and torque etc. So if you want to ride a Honda go for it but it's not half the ride the Rocket is.
