I think the heat is finally tapering off here in the midwest. Other than avoiding rainy days, it's been beautiful riding here in Missouri. Have fun Jim and ride safe!

I always say the gold wings will get 300,000 mile lifespan on the motor with regular maintenance. You do a little bit better maintenance than they are several in the country running 400,000+ on them.

I agree it is a pain taking off the Goldwing seat and after that getting it lined up again to bolt the seat on. I bought Tapered Seat Bolts from Wingstuff and they help with lining up the seat & the nut on the frame.

I enjoy watching people riding their trikes like I do you. I haven't found many if any that have youtube channels and take long trips/adventures on their trikes and record it. GT bikes?, there are more than you can shake a stick at. Nice ride Jim, thanks, Steve

It's diffrent thickness. But yes the same.

105 here in Pahrump, Nevada today 💦💦

A bee-you-tee-full evening for a ride there Jim.

Even though you said a new Goldwing DCT trike cost more than $60,000 I would really enjoy watching your video of you test riding one at the DFW Honda Dealership. I bet you'd get at least 1000 views.

Not really showing how to take it off is it. Pointless video.

I have been reviewing several of your videos on your Honda trike where you you do your own maintenance. I am getting a use 2012 goldwing trike and was wondering is there any oil change needed in the rear of the kit, I saw where you did the greasing of the u joints….

Congrats to you and your wife Jim on your 43 years of marriage. My wife and I have got married back in May of 1998 / I'm 72 (or will be Aug 14th) and she turned 84 this passed November so we have a ways to go b4 we catch up to you and your wifes years of marrage 😂

I suspect your honda has a oil jet to the cam chain tensioner, this is a common issue with cold start

We've been waiting for a rain storm to show up now that we are into our monsoon season here. Would be nice to get a good downpour and get us out of these triple digits. 85d would make for a really nice ride. :)

I fear adding a second camera would make the editing process more complicated. Maybe some day.

Great video! I have an air cooled monocycle. I change the oil every 2,500 miles with full synthetic. Extended oil changes (5000+ miles) is foolish.

Hi Jim. I recently bought a 2024 Spyder RT Limited. Previously had a 2018 RT Limited. I have back issues, as well as right shoulder issues due to a bicycle wreck a few years back. I remember on a video a few years ago you got the short reach handlebars for your RT. Do you feel they help with back/shoulder issues over the standard handlebars? I’m 5’10”. Thanks!

Thank You enjoyed that well done. Maybe, if you backed the trike onto the ramps they may be out of your way.

Nice ride Jim, you have a nice looking neighborhood. Yeah, heard the Wing bottom out coming out your drive and thought whoa........that don't sound good.

Your audio is very good with no clicking.

Nice little ride tonight Jim. Nice neighborhood, I look at some of those homes and wonder, gawd what do they do for a living.

Nice ride Jim, really enjoyed it, lol, you talk as much as you want to friend, I don't mind listening to what you have to say. 🤣

Realize this is an old post. So has the short reach handlebars helped you with pain?

Track seat, ya lost me there.

Hey Jim, are those the OEM bars or f3 bars?

Pretty , hot there Jim. Those spiders sure sound like they run smoothly. I had a tramp tiger XRX that sound just the same and ran smooth all the time. Always wanted to ride a spider, but never have. Just to see how smooth of a ride you get out of the box.

Nice job. Do you have a zero turn radius mower you are using. What brand is it?

You can take speaket and box out if you take windshield and skirt off that's behind windshield.

Dang Jim, you and your wife have a nice piece of property there, love the yard (especially the pool.....) :) Do you have any trouble with those fire ants there in Texas?

Gloves and long pants are always in fashion. Stylish and comfortable.

I used to live off FM 1570, just east of 34.

I used to have a shoei full face then got a schuberth modular. Both are very nice and seem to fit well. Next I may get a shoei neotec 3 when the price comes down. I do wear a half helmet when it is really hot out. Ride safe!

replacement part number & link please.

We use several different brands of helmets over the years and have settled into “Nolan” helmets. The n21 visor helmet is my favorite. But it doesn’t have any air flow through the helmet. The other is the n100-5 modular helmet. Love that one for long distance. Takes 4 to 5 times wearing them to break them in. Fit your head like a glove.

Jim change out the cheek pads they make thinner pads. Measure you nut and try a SHOEI My god Jim your head is worth more then those helmets you know what they say buy cheap get cheaper junk I just purchased my first non SHOEI I picked up a VATA 7 Helmet fits great still like SHOEI better tho

Alll right a early ride on the Wing ..............thanks Jim, you be the man

Nice. Valkyrie power! I have an 82' Goldwing trike myself. So many Harleys trikes around but I like smooth and quiet engines much better.

Not trying to tell you what to do but I hope you don’t have an accident with only shorts and a t-shirt on.

texas is the king of the potholes!!!!!!!

aimes-tu ton vehicule de communiste?

I've got some short reach bars too and they are so comfortable! Like you say, you can just sit back and relax! Like your front lower LED light too. I need to fix my mirror rattle, and put the BajaRon sway bar on. And yep, have the AirHawk seat too. Ride safe!

Anti Sieze is your friend on anything you take apart often.

Depending on how much I ride, i usually change the oil once a year. At the beginning of the season. Just put new tires on my 2012. RT Loving my spyder. Ride Safe!!!!

Bet that gold wing rides really smooth.

Yayyyyy, we're cruisin' on the wing.........rock on Jim :)

Your camera! I feel like I have drunk goggles on. You should consider less wide angle lens.

If you think those roads are bad, don't go to New Orleans.

Thank you for the ride. It is really important to get a helmet that one is comfortable in. I like your little remote control to the camera. I noticed that your are swirling some.... Perhaps you dont notice, and perhaps it is the road. I really like your channel and am subscribed, but I just wanted to give some constuctive critisism. There are steering stabilizers that can help. Also, coachbob3 released a video a few days ago that gives some advice to the steering. Greetings from Puebla, Mexico.

Do the short reach bars feel better on the shoulders by chance i find my shoulders through the shoulder blades always sore for a coupe days after a ride liked there kinked or something

I don't know what it is with white Spyder's ? I've been on rides, and the buzzards have nearly hit white Spyder's 2 different times 👎. I'm glad mine is a different color.

I use that same light, and it's all your fault 😂. I just replaced the original one I installed last month. A few LEDs were flickering after 3 years. Fantastic for the low cost.
