As a big v-twin, the new (delayed release) Venture is a cross between Victory and Harley. I think the new Goldwing is a cross between K1600 and Accord.

The owner's manual is now available as a free download for the new GW. 246 pages with a separate 85 page manual for the audio system. I went through the 246 pages. Valve checks are now necessary at 24,000 mile increments instead of the former 32,000 mile increments. They've included a...

Its not a Harley, and most of us are smarter than Harley Techs. If you cant figure out what you need from the exploded view, you may not need to be doing the R&R anyway. Maybe this is a geometry issue. Some day the parts fiche may be a virtual automated R&R. That might be easier, or at least...

If it were me, Id just go to the www.mrcycles.com website and order what I was missing. Heres a start. https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/yam/50045b2ff8700209bc79400e/headlight You know what youve got ... so order the other stuff. Most of the items look like theyre a couple of bucks or less...

The current model does have a single-sided swing arm, as does the new one.

The ride isnt always about the speed. But if youre not pressing for speed, and two bikes are quite comfortable, and one feels more secure at higher speeds, then one might choose that one over the other. Actually, there is no do-it-all bike. I have repeatedly tried to pare down to a single bike...

Actually, in general older people are more likely to die. Its just a fact of life. You die in the future... never at an age in your past. Get older... eventually die. Its a rhythm.

And ... things are back to normal. Sigh.....🙄

Im attracted to the H2 too. I still like that naval pulled through your backbone feeling, but I am not so interested in the top end any more. Maybe at Loring, but not on public roads shared with critters, meth heads, and incompetent distracteds. 😮

Ive been out riding. I ran the circuit on my Tiger Explorer first. I watched my speedo to see what speeds I was running at different points. An hour on TEx followed by an hour on JAWS (great white shark). Jaws immediately felt smoother and more like I was in a nice sedan. I enjoyed both rides...

Suspension upgrades for the current Gen GW are seriously labor intensive. Fred Harmon includes this in his 34 hours of GW maintenance video set. Suffice it to say that it is not for the faint of heart. Access to the air filter is silly stupid too. GW maintenance makes dealing with a Moto Guzzi...

Check out the Yellow Wolf at Deals Gap videos on YouTube. Youll see how much the rider impacts the transit. FWIW, Ive never thought that peg scraping made sense. My best bikes for true chicanery have been supermotos and peg scraping has never been an issue with them. If youve got the ground...

The FJR is much lighter and has more power. And it is nicely balanced for sport. The suspension is decent. Ive always loved the FJR and have found that it suited me well. Ive always been puzzled by the large number of riders who find the FJR hard to deal with at low speeds. All of the Goldwings...

It reminds me of those three wheeled Piaggio scooters. For many, aging means considering a trike or reverse trike. For me, at least for now, it means wishing that Yammy-USA would import the YCCS model of the FJR ... and barring that, buying that new DCT Goldwing. Right now, I feel like I...

I dont know if youve ridden an F6B. They look like they might not give you much weather protection. But this is an illusion. The wind tunnel work to design the fuselage and nose was quite thorough. I was caught in the rain a few days after Id bought it. I was on an all day ride and Id brought...

Supposedly (according to Fred Harmon) the peak bhp is about 125 at 5500 rpm. Peak torque is similar in ft-lbs. The butt dyno will not be fooled into thinking any GW, new or old, will out-zip any FJR, new or old. But thats not what theyre for. I went down to Chattanooga (Southern Honda...

Check the weather forecast for your route. At least some of it sounds like it will be sub freezing early in the day if your going soon.

I dont have an account there, so thats not the issue. More likely some hosting or OS issue.

It works from here. Must have something to do with the path from the computer being used. Ill try your link and see if it works for me. Edit: your link works for me, but it drops me into the thread at a later post and I have to scroll up to the videos.
