- Just a fun ride around…
And delivering for Uber Eats
Video is a few month old. Taken before the rain came 👎
Had fun recording, and always having fun on a ride.
Please like, subscribe, and even share!!
Thanks for watching. We’ll see you next time!!
Gotta love side hustles!
Hustling and shuffling!! 😝
Beautiful motorcycle. I have an 1800 but I have to admit. I miss my 2000 GL1500 SE very much. Gonna buy a new 1500 in the spring as a restore project. All the best to ya man. Be safe and enjoy.
Rod, thanks for the comment! The 1800 is beautiful beast of a bike! Good luck with the GL1500 project. Hope to see some videos of it this summer. Ride safe. 👍
NIce Bike...looks like mine. Interesting concept however, GL1500 the "Workhorse" of Motorcycles. I have actually volunteered to do the weekly grocery run just to find an excuse to ride my Goldwing. It's amazing just how much this bike can store and carry. Stay Safe
Exactly. I wouldn’t really call it work. Getting out to ride and get paid? I’ll take it! 😝
Even though my primary ride is my 2000 Valkyrie Interstate, I still make the time to ride my 1994 GL1500 every once in a while.
Same here. Definitely not my primary around town choice, but definitely a sweet freeway ride. Ride safe!
@@vaultexplorers1337 You too!
Hey good for you I also deliver food with all 3 food apps on my goldwing Gl1200 I have learned that placing the drink tray inside the saddle bags and holding it with the food bag if it fits inside as well to prevent spilling. Another idea is to carry pizza get yourself a pizza bag and place it on top on the touring case bracket and use bungee cords to tie it down you will be good to go!!!! There’s no stopping a wing!!!!
You are right, good sir!! But I like to keep everything in the main bag if I can help it. As for the pizza box…I have a bag, but since the back is at an angle I’d hate to deliver a lop-sided pizza!
My next endeavor is going to be setting up my tw200 for Uber!!
I used to deliver in a car Uber, I never thought I could use my 96 SE..🤔
It was fun at first, but for it turned out to be too big for the constant stop/start, on/off. This type of”work” is easier on a smaller bike…..for me.
Love it 😀
Thanks! We are glad you liked it!
Boss !,,,! ;)
Not agile enough? Try using more hand pressure in "Counter Steering" (Counter Steering: Push Left Hand too Go Left, Push Right Hand too Go Right!) an always look through where you want too go! My GL1500 sound system sucks, with no reception, even with huge antenna. Now I've got another problem: starter button does not want too release too original position, but wants too spin starter until starter button manually pulled out with fingers! (Not good!) Did you see biker get arrested in Wal mart for wearing his helmet in store, like you just did? I think his settlement was around $650,000, but was a real legal hastle!
I’m very familiar with counter steering, the bike handles well enough. It’s just not as agile as other bikes we own. It’s fun to delivery but can be a little trick maneuvering. Sucks about your stereo, I personally don’t use the radio, only with a transmitter to run my iPhone. And they seem like work to upgrade front speakers. I haven’t had problems with the starter button yet. Hope you work it out soon!! QD electrical spray maybe?
Thanks for the comment!! Ride safe!
I kept staying an working starter button until it released on it own! Then kept putting pressure on outside edge an popping action until it now works normal! You need patience because freeing button took several days!
My gl 1500 has a small trailer to deliver documents and etc. Where did you get the "food bag"? What brand? As my friend aptly put it ; Honda Goldwings are almost 2 wheeled cars , or convertibles as he calls them 😃
A trailer would be an awesome set for delivery! But for me the GL1500 is not an optimal choose for food delivery around town and short trips. Probably bc I am getting older and fatigue easily. The food bag was an amazon purchase, Git Bags. Rectangular food bag with a drink compartment. I used a separate drink bag bc of the high volume of individual drink orders. If I get enough requests for it I’ll put out a video on the food delivery set up. Thanks for the comment! Ride safe out there.
What a cool way to earn gas money. Plus figure out which places are good to eat and which aren't.
Been earning a lot more than gas money! 😝 But you are right. I’m finding restaurants and areas I never knew existed.
So they just built a Dominos nearby out here in the country...and my Trail125 comes complete with a built in pizza rack on the back 🤔 hmmm.
@@findingneutral that would definitely be the money maker. They make a rack for the Honda Ruckus that I’m looking into.
there must be a way to hook up the stereo....
Oh the stereo works fine. I just play the music I listen to because YT will give our channel a copyright strike. 😝
Ah ha, a man with a job
As long as it has torque
Still doing this Side Hustle?? How is it going?
Always hustling and shuffling!!
Juuuust not on the Goldwing at the moment.
Chtěl jsem si ji koupit. No mám strach že se převratí. Mám pocit že pořád chce padnout. Když se rozjíždí taky. Prostě nevím jak na ní. Mám 80kg a 180 cm, stačí to? 😉
Definitely not a beginners motorcycle. Plenty of other choices to match your ride height and weight. GL1500 is more for long distance than short trips, but that’s my opinion only. Good luck to you!
@@vaultexplorers1337, I'm slowly gaining courage. So we'll see. 😉
@@pffp3704 that’s awesome. And just fyi, I ride my Honda Ruckus more than I ride my GL1500 or TW200. Time and place for everything. Best wishes to you!
You can definitely ride a Gold Wing 1500. Actually it rides like a bicycle ... once it's moving. Moving it back and forth is a bit demanding and need attention, die to it's weight of course. Slow sharp curves need attention. Other than that an easy ride, believe me. Don't worry, get a one and take a ride. The only disadvantage, so to say: once you had a Gold Wing you probably won't like any other motorbike. The luxury, the size, the comfort and the 6-cyl. engine, so silent and smooth - no vibrations ... nothing can top that. So for the rest of your life you may be hooked up to a Gold Wing, while the "biggest" one in terms of size was the 1500. My one is now 34 years old and I was sometimes looking for other options ... but finally end up with my Gold Wing 1500.
If you bought a one an became as happy with it like I am with my one, please let me know.
Kindest Regards,
Andreas
@@andreasfoitzik6749 I agree with some of what you're saying. There may be a bit of a communication disconnect. I am very familiar with riding this bike, my opinions on its handling are my own. The GL1500 is an OK bike for around town riding, but it is meant for long distances touring. That said, I am not a Goldwing guy. Its not my style of bike but it is something that I have currently have. It does not handle well at slow speeds, overheats in town, and is a pain in the ass to maintain anything past the battery and fuses. But these are my opinions only. I would not recommend this bike for food delivery or short trips for beginners. Thank you for watching our video and commenting!! Stay safe on your GL1500!!
what kind of mileage do you get for this type of riding?
Not bad, but not great either. A lot of stop and go and my GL1500 was in bad need of a tune and carb sync. Cheaper then my Land Cruiser and Expedition, that’s for sure! 😝
@@vaultexplorers1337 i recently got a 96 gl1500 and i wasn't sure in the beginning but its really growing on me. city riding i get around 34 mpg,which is ok for gl1500's but honda should have put a bigger tank at least,my gas light come's on around 150 miles.but i still love this "flying couch" :)
whats your gas milage ???
Not too bad. Could be better without the stop and go and starting while delivering. Could be better with a much needed tune up.
@@vaultexplorers1337 i remember i was getting around 50 mpg on my honda 750,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i took that 750 across the country from LA to Florida in December and hit some serious snow going through the mountains,,,,,,,,,,,,i was so cold , that when i stopped for gas it took at least 15 minutes to warm my hands to get out my wallet. i will never forget that trip.
