New Sled in the Shed

Following our Yellowstone / Canada EagleRider tour in 2018 it was clear we would be doing a lot more of this style of touring. We followed that with a week touring Switzerland on a bike in 2019 with friends we met on the US/Canada tour and that just settled it. We were going to need a more tour friendly bike that we could both enjoy.

We have now sat on and ridden many different bikes. Our prefence was the BMW K1600GT that we rode in Switzerland but even an early model one is about double our budget. We both loved it, it has an amazing motor with huge amount of torque and all the mod-cons. One day. But for now we have to settle on something a lot more affordable.

But what.?!

2018 Honda Goldwing – Test ride

Following our US tour on the Harly Davidson Electra Glide we knew we didn’t want one of those but are interested in a more touring focused motorcycle. With the new Honda Goldwing recently released we were keen to test one of these to see if a Goldwing could be in our future.

Gotta love a six!

Sometimes you twist the throttle to go faster and other times you just want to take in the aural sensation that a six cylinder bike offers. You’ve got to love the 1980″s Honda CBX1000 and Kawasaki Z1300. Just intoxicating.
