Almost made it

Hillhouse · 04-08-2019, 10:19 AM

Well I was hoping to ride past 100k on the 2012 Voyager but with being unable to ride last year I only have 99.6k.

Went and looked at the new Goldwings and ended up buying a left over 18 Tour model with DCT. The DCT and modes are amazing, will take a little bit of time to not want to use the clutch. So the VV was taken in trade. Sorry to see it go, hasn't given me any trouble, wife and I both have enjoyed this ride very much. Can't say enough good about the VV.

Went with the GW because of the walking forward/reverse it has, along with a number of other creature features it has. Still going to add a lot of farkles.

Will be giving first dibs here on my spare parts: XM radio, Seats, Wheel Bearings, Chucksters trailer hitch, OEM exhaust, audio plug. Hope to list items in the classified section soon.

THANKS for all the help provided here.

I'm just curious....... You are going to sell your wheel bearings??? I'll have to add this to the list of a lot of other strange things I've heard before.... Funny though...LMAO

Greetings,

Congratulations on the new GW! Awesome machines.

Look forward to your parts for sale... :)

Ride (that new machine) safe,

redjay I have seen some of his videos. But I think I am going into a brain dead state watching all the youtube videos info on this ride.

Pilot747 Glad you picked up on that, I will also be adding a rear wheel to the list with car tire.

smokier Yes it is an awesome machine, almost to much tech. But then I'm to the point of just buy a reliable brand that doesn't need to stop at every dealer it passes and enjoy riding around this country of ours.

Hillhouse - How could you not just say - I'll take the GoldWing but I'll be right back in 400 miles. My OCD would never be able to live with that. Congrats on the new Ride. Stick around and continue to share your 99,600 miles of experience with us.

Lets see there the sand, cold and oh yea the snow squalls. My luck I would have an issue and have to come up with more $$. But now I need to do the 100k quicker on the GW. Will continue to monitor this group

Wow! 99.6k is nothing to scoff at. Those are serious miles. Congrats, on the new purchase and the trade-in! I hope someone else gets to enjoy it for a while!

**schoeney** · 04-09-2019, 07:33 PM

Congrats.

Those new Goldwing sure are nice.

I am on the Goldwing forum pretty regular and it's pretty impressive how many miles some of them have. A couple guys have over 500,000 miles!

Enjoy.
