And that brings us to today.

About a year ago, I started writing the touring features in Wing World, including the Bucket List articles. I’ve done a lot of stuff is what I’m getting at here.

My job here at Wing World is pretty simple: make it better.

What I’ve realized is that there’s a great base to build from — 30+ years of history make this an amazing place to be. And in talking to many of you while I was at Wing Ding 35 this past year, I learned what you like and don’t like about the magazine today. My goal is to give you more things to love and more reasons to read the book cover to cover.

In doing that, you’ll likely notice a few changes around here. ;I´ZI X[IEOIH XLI HIWMKR XS VIžIGX XLI +;66% GSQQYRMX] a bit better, added some features and took a few away. This is a process in the middle of its evolution, so more change is to come. That means if you have any suggestions or ideas that you’d like to see in the book, please feel free to send them my way. Who knows, you just might see them in a future issue.

I truly feel like I’m the luckiest guy in the world right now. I get to work on a great publication with a fantastic community of Members, and it doesn’t get much better than that.

This is going to be fun.

ON OUR WAY TO WING DING 35 KEN HACKL #168231 On June 26th, my wife Dianne, myself and our good friends and fellow Chapter Members Kenney and Sherry Graham left Tulsa for a 16-day trip to Wing Ding in Greenville, S.C. that would ultimately take us across Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and touching on the state of Virginia. We traveled approximately 3500 miles of back roads, mountains and neverending curves round trip.

But as much as we enjoyed the ride, something happened that not only made our journey special, but basically saved our trip.

While traveling in Kentucky on the ½JXL HE] [I WXSTTIH MR 2MGLSPEWZMPPI XS gas up and check our maps. I asked Dianne to get our map out of the trunk, which required removing several items to get to wingworldmag.com

the bottom where the map case had secreted itself. Those items were placed on top of the cooler mounted on the tongue of the trailer. Once we determined which way we were going, we reached back, closed the trunk and took off. We were headed for Richmond, Ky. for the night, which required crossing the Kentucky River by ferry, and looking forward to relaxing over dinner and possibly a swim.

I had noticed while unloading at the motel that my favorite ball cap was not in the trunk and assumed I had left it at the last place we had stopped. As we were getting ready for dinner my cell phone began to ring. The call was coming from my wife’s cell phone — wait. What?

They had blown their horn, but we didn’t respond. The scary part of this story is that before they could turn around and pick up the purse, a passing motorist had scooped it up and turned down a side street.

They followed the driver for a couple of blocks blowing their horn, but he ignored them. They decided to take a positive approach and hit their lights and siren and pulled him over. In spite of his protest XLEX LI [EW PSSOMRK JSV E TSPMGI SJ½GIV XS XYVR XLI TYVWI SZIV XS they didn’t really believe that was his intention.

After taking possession of the purse they took it back to the ½VI WXEXMSR ERH PSSOIH JSV MHIRXM½GEXMSR ;LIR XLI] HMWGSZIVIH LIV phone they went straight to the ICE (In Case of Emergency) phone numbers and started making calls — not just to my phone, but to everyone on her emergency list.

During our phone conversation I asked if they had seen my hat come off the trailer as well. They said no, but that they did see a ball cap further down the road, they just didn’t connect it with the purse.

We received the call at approximately 6:30pm. It was about 25 miles back to Nicholasville requiring two ferry crossings. It was going to be close.

Kenney volunteered to ride back with me, so we unhooked the trailers and took off. Our problem was that the ferry, the oldest continuing business in the United States, shut down at 8pm. As we crossed, I asked the ferry operator if they did indeed operate until 8pm. His answer was clear: “They rarely shut down early, but they never, ever, shut down late.” If we didn’t make it back in time to catch the ferry on our way back, we would have to go north to Lexington and take the super slab to Richmond, adding an extra hour or more to our return.

We would have been able to continue, but a lot of the joy would have gone out of the journey. They would take nothing for their efforts, not even pizza. They just chalked it up to “bikers helping bikers.”

Now isn’t that something for all of us to aspire to?

Winter Quality Time with Your Gold Wing

Accessorize

By the time you read this edition of the Red Page, autumn will have begun to fall, days will be getting shorter, and temperatures will be getting cooler. For Gold Wing riders in certain parts of the country, it will mean the last rides of the season will be close at hand.

We all like to individualize our motorcycles. Whether its to change the form or function of our Gold Wing, adding or changing components allows a certain amount of tailoring that differentiates our bikes from others. After a season of riding, there is usually a list of things you’ve thought about changing on your bike. Perhaps, for example, you liked the look of the chrome fender ornament you saw in the dealership’s accessory department, or you want to add the utility and convenience of the accessory electrical socket.

So, what does an avid Gold Wing owner do when the winter arrives and inclement weather prevents riding? Thankfully, you can still socialize with other GWRRA members, read motorcycle publications, and attend motorcycle shows. These things, however, don’t include your pride-and-joy Gold Wing.

An activity that does include your Gold Wing is to give it some TLC. After all, together with the wonderful relationships you develop with fellow riders and GWRRA members, the relationship with your motorcycle is something you want to keep in good condition.

Thankfully, Honda offers over 80 Honda Genuine and Honda Signature Accessories for the Gold Wing and Gold Wing F6B. These accessories are designed specifically for Hondas and have the same quality and durability that you expect from Honda, and they are backed up by the same warranty terms as your bike. Furthermore, these accessories can be financed into a new vehicle purchase when you use Honda Financial Services.

ACCESSORIZED GOLD WING F6B

Cleaning and Inspecting A thorough cleaning and inspection is a great way to get to know your Gold Wing better and to help prevent future issues. Especially if you have ridden in rainy, dusty, or ocean air environments, its very good practice to remove body panels to access as much of your bike as possible to clean as many surfaces as possible. While detailing your Gold Wing in this manner, it allows you to also thoroughly inspect your motorcycle for needed maintenance or repairs.

The July 2012 and February 2013 issues of the Red Page include useful inspection and maintenance information.

Maintenance Winter is a great time to catch up on maintenance. This should start with comparing your bike’s mileage with the maintenance schedule in the Owner’s Manual. You should also check your Gold Wing’s service history and complete or have your Honda dealer complete the appropriate maintenance service for your bike’s mileage. If you do the work yourself, make sure you do the job right by using the genuine Honda Service Manual. See the November 2012 issue of the Red Page for more information.

october 2013

Honda Signature Accessories are designed exclusively for Honda Powersports products through collaboration between American Honda and top U.S. accessory suppliers and carry the same industry leading Honda warranty as Honda Genuine Accessories.

From a CB radio and a saddlebag cooler to chrome trim items and a cycle cover, Honda Genuine and Signature Accessories are available to individualize your Gold Wing. You can view the available accessories at powersports.honda.com. Better still, visit your Honda dealer to see and order them.

Winter Storage At some point you may need to store your Gold Wing for the winter. To help you do so correctly, use the Honda Winter Storage Guide (Part # S9507), which is available from Honda dealers. The guide has 14 pages of information about how to correctly store your motorcycle over the winter to help ensure it will be in full functional condition for the spring riding season. See the March 2012 issue of the Red Page for more information about the guide.

tech to be just affecting the intercom.

One other thing: when we returned home I was looking over the basic stuff. I had also installed a new battery just before the work was done, so I was checking out the connections/cables. OK, really I was just taking a stab in the dark. But after checking the battery I started and revved the engine some and holding the higher RPM as I listened for the buzzing, which was still there. This is when I noticed that the engine would not hold a steady throttle. As I held the throttle open some (just over 1000 RPM), the engine would surge by as much as 500–600 RPM then immediately drop to around 1000 RPM and repeat. It surged like this for as long as I held the throttle open some. Also, I could hear a click each time just before the RPM would drop.

I plan to call the dealership this week and return there when I get off work this coming weekend to get this problem(s) corrected. I would really be thankful for any advice/ideas/thoughts you may have on this.

Hey Stu, I’ve got two Battery Bugs, and yes, with the pesky tightly coiled cords — it is what it is. I’ve got several questions dealing with the motorcycle and the diesel generator. In regards to the motorcycle, the instructions are silent but I’m wondering if the unit is waterproof? And second, I want to install a diesel generator on our back up diesel generator so I’d really like to extend the wires probably an extra 4–6 feet. What is the gauge of the battery bug’s wires? Is there a quick disconnect type plug (same as a battery tender) available which would have the same gauge wires?

Hello Stu, I have a 2000 GL1500SE with 79,900 miles.

Recently, I began to notice a slight engine knock at idle. It goes away as the RPM increases and I do not hear it when riding.

tech OIL If your Gold Wing has a center stand, I recommend that you put the motorcycle on it before you get started. If you have no center stand, have someone hold the motorcycle level on level ground.

Assuming the engine is cold, the oil level should appear at the full mark in the sight glass or on the dipstick. Remove the dipstick, wipe it off with a shop towel and stick it in the dipstick hole — but do not screw it in. Remove it and check the oil level. If the engine is cold, the level should be at the full mark. If the engine is warm, the level might be between the half and full mark. This is normal, because a warm or hot engine may not have had enough time to allow the oil to drain down into the crankcase.

Now let’s try to answer that age-old question about “which oil should I use” and “which gas should I use?” According to my 1994 Honda Gold Wing Owner’s Manual, we should use Pro Honda GN4 or HP4 4-stroke oil or an equivalent.

For Canadian riders, use Honda 4-stroke oil or an equivalent.

The use of special oil additives is unnecessary and will only increase operating expenses.

Engine oil is a major factor affecting the performance and service life of the engine. Non-detergent, vegetable or castor based racing oils are not recommended.

Honda’s recommended oil viscosity is SAE 10W-40. SAE

20W-50 and SAE 20W-40 may be used when the average riding temperature is above 35° F; SAE 10W-40 for above 8° F; and SAE 10W-30 for between 8° and 90° F. Check for engine oil leaks at gaskets, housings and seals. If the leaks seem excessive, replace the faulty gaskets or seals. Check JSV WIITEKI EX XLI HMTWXMGO ½REP HVMZI FVIEXLIV HVEMR TPYKW ERH ½PPIV TPYKW -J XLI PIEOMRK MW I\GIWWMZI VITPEGI XLI S VMRKW 'LIGO for leakage at the shift spindle seal, and replace if necessary.

•

•

Your Gold Wing engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane number 86 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service stations normally display the pump octane number.

Honda recommends that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Use of too low of an octane gasoline can cause persistent “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” (a metallic rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage. Use of too high of an octane gasoline can increase operating costs and cause you to get poor performance and poor fuel economy, contrary to popular belief. If “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, Honda recommends changing brands of gasoline. If the “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” persists, you really need to consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse by Honda, and Honda’s Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse.

If you can smell gasoline after your engine warms up, but see no signs of leakage, STIR ]SYV JYIP ½PPIV HSSV ERH PSSO JSV WMKRW SJ PIEOEKI EX XLI ½PPIV GET ERH XLI ZEGYYQ operated fuel cutoff valve. Replace the faulty components.

COOLANT Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank when the engine is stone cold.

The level should appear between the half and full mark. If you check it when the engine is hot, you might not get an accurate reading.

If you can smell coolant after your engine warms up, but see no signs of leakage, there is a coolant leak somewhere. The coolant might be evaporating after it seeps out and hits a hot engine surface, thus the strong smell SJ ERXMJVII^I 7II E GIVXM½IH ,SRHE XIGL for diagnosis and repair. The most common of these hidden leaks appear at the upper radiator hoses and the carburetor heat riser hose connections.

What’s in it for me?

Why should I seek motorcycle safety related training?

by Tony & Michelle Van Schaick

ost of us have been through some sort of training in our lives or experienced events and learned that sometimes we didn’t know there was anything wrong with what had served us well for many years. In short, we didn’t know what we didn’t know. When it comes to our own safety, the simple truth is that we need to do whatever is in our power to ensure that we EVI XEOMRK WYJ½GMIRX QIEWYVIW XS QEREKI SYV VMWO [LMPI IRNS]MRK our sport.

Often, the best way to learn is from the mistakes or successes of others. Most, if not all, experienced riders that participated in a beginner riding course have taken the time to speak to an instructor later on.

the wrong way. They admitted that they didn’t realize what they were doing was not the best way to do it, and more importantly, what they had to gain from doing it correctly. %PP SJ XLSWI JVMIRHW [LS LEH RSX XEOIR E WEJIX] GPEWW LEH convinced him or her that it wasn’t necessary — besides, they’d never had an accident. Luck can bring a false sense of security.

The “experienced” rider reasoned that “They probably needed to take a course because they were better riders afterwards.”

Those “friends” started having accidents that were explained away as, “there was nothing anyone could have done.” In a short discussion with an experienced motorcycle safety instructor, these people are surprised that there was, in many cases, something WTIGM½G XLEX GSYPH LEZI FIIR HSRI XS TVIZIRX XLI EGGMHIRX SV minimize the damage.

That makes for a safer ride and MRGVIEWIH JYR IRNS]MRK XLIMV TEWXMQI Some of us know that skills diminish with lack of practice. Even when we take the same class every few years, we get the sense that we learn something new each time (often due to relearning something we forgot!). If [I VMHI X[S YT ]SYV GS VMHIV FIRI½XW JVSQ the reduction of risks you might not have known were being taken, and certainly were taking no action to manage. Co-rider training can help recognize and manage risks to the team on the bike and to the group. We can never completely eliminate risks, but the peace of mind knowing you did everything TSWWMFPI XS TVIZIRX SV PIWWIR MRNYVMIW GER FI very rewarding.

If you’re thinking it is too late in the season to sign up for a class, first see if you were right or if there is an opening. If everything is full, take away another excuse by planning ahead for next season. Make the time and schedule a class. Work with your Rider Educator to get a group together; often a large enough group can have a special class that can be scheduled when the group so desires.

The road to hana riding the beautiful hawaiian coastline

t’s rare to meet someone who doesn’t want to travel to the Hawaiian islands at some point in their lifetime. That’s why when an opportunity presents itself, so many take the trip. If you get a chance to cruise on a bike while you’re there, well, that’s just more icing on the cake!

To make sure you get the most of the scenic offerings found in the 50th state, you can’t go wrong with the Road to Hana.

Found on the island of Maui, the Hana Highway — a trail that FIKMRW EVSYRH ,E[EMM 7XEXI 6SYXIW ERH ° MW E VSEH ½PPIH with hairpin turns, one-lane bridges, narrow roads and some of XLI QSWX KSVKISYW WGIRIV] SRI [SYPH I\TIGX XS ½RH EQSRK XLI islands. The Road to Hana showcases all that tourists dream of

Hawaii being, with its inviting pools, cascading waterfalls, lush rain forests and multicolored, sandy beaches.

7SQI VMHIVW QE] ½RH XLI 6SEH XS ,ERE E GLEPPIRKI [LIR MX comes to maneuvering their Gold Wings, but if you’re up to it, this is one that’s worth the effort. Taking in the scenery is at once relaxing and a great way to connect with the outdoors, and we’ve got the roadmap for must-stop destinations on this often-traveled path.

BEFORE RESETTING THE ODOMETER Gold Wings are a rare rental commodity in Maui, and spotting JIPPS[ E½GMSREHSW HSIWR´X LETTIR QYGL )ZIR WSQI HMI LEVHW have to opt to ride motorcycles with a little less mass that are

f e at u r e s

a little easier to control going up and down the hills, what with making the tight turns and sharing some of the narrow roadways.

Harley-Davidson Road Kings and Street Glides come to mind for some of the best at handling the Hana Highway — you could even rent a scooter if you wanted, or pay to ship your Wing over (which is going to be pretty pricey). Check out Hula Hogs, Maui Harley-Davidson Rentals and Cycle City Maui to inquire about rentals, but regardless of your decision, you’ll be glad you chose Hawaii’s most respectfully famous route.

At the start of your journey — right off the 36 on the north side of Maui near Baldwin Park — is a welcome and necessary stop in the town of Pa’ia. Dubbed “Maui’s coolest little town,”

it’s the last spot to grab gas before heading to Hana. But gas isn’t the only thing that will get motorists going. Check out Sand and Sea (99 Hana Highway, Pa’ia), a gift shop specializing in all things Hawaii. Need a retro calendar featuring glamorous airline ads? Or maybe a tropical-inspired Christmas ornament to warm up your tree? How about a giant wood-carved sea turtle that’s bigger than E GSJJII XEFPI# =SY´PP ½RH EPP SJ XLEX LIVI EPSRK [MXL QSVI OMXWGL] and classic souvenirs — no matter how big your “just in case” carry-on might be.

When you’re done, point your ride east on the 36, which will eventually turn into the 360, 330 and so on. There’s not much else to talk about in regards to directions, because it’s just one long road. wingworldmag.com

67

f e at u r e s Also not to be missed — be it on the way to Hana, after making the extensive jaunt or even as a stand-alone destination — is Mama’s Fish House (799 Poho Place, Pa’ia). On the outskirts SJ 4E´ME ERH QEVOIH F] WMKREKI GVEJXIH JVSQ ER SPH ½WLMRK FSEX Mama’s Fish House’s entryway dons pictures and autographs of visiting athletes and celebrities, and offers a scenic view of the ocean, which is accented by canoes and catamarans that beg to be climbed on and in, making for great photo opportunities.

What to order? The signature dish that keeps customers coming back is the Mahi Mahi stuffed with lobster and crab, and baked in a macadamia nut crust. Could that plate get any more Hawaiian?

Pair it with The Scorpion — a concoction of multiple types of rum — and you’ll be lightly toasted. On second thought, be a good road warrior and don’t drink and drive. Opt instead to crash at the Inn at Mama’s Fish House, with beachfront and garden cottages, and suites that ensure comfort and instant relaxation, or try a drink when you’re not hitting the road.

STARTING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN Shortly after lunch, dinner or a good night’s rest, you may feel like catching a wave — or maybe watching others surf? Hookipa Park is a popular spot for windsurfers and on particularly windy days, it’s possible to catch amateurs trying to master the ocean and wind’s currents. For a gander at professionals, check out the champion competitions held here during the year.

Head a few miles east toward Hana, scoping out some of the natural wonders and one-off food shacks found along the highway. While many are worth a gander, travel on for a few miles to reach the Ke’anae Arboretum. By now, you’ll be ready to stretch your legs and this walk will take you off your bike for 30 minutes to an hour as you explore the park’s collection of some 150 species of native and introduced plant life and vegetation. (You can even see a few cars that fell in a ditch by the entrance. No lie, and also not uncommon throughout the

islands in areas with steep roads.) The juxtaposition of Birds of Paradise next to a Mindanao gum trees and taro (whose root makes poi, a traditional Hawaiian dish that separates the natives from the neo-locals) is intriguing enough for wannabe botanists, as well as eye candy for photographers.

Not far from the arboretum is its namesake town, Ke’anae, which rests on a small peninsula as you approach mile marker 17. The town is a mix of areas that welcome visitors and some others that are opposed. Take a guess where you’ll see signs reading something to the effect of “Welcome — now leave.”

You’ll avoid that by making a slight left off the highway where the green sign directs you, and you’ll feel welcomed by the ½VWX TEVOMRK EVIE YRHIVRIEXL [LMGL MW E WLEPPS[ EVIE [LIVI you can swim in the ocean. Further into the peninsula, see breathtaking and photographic action as waves splash against the sculptured rock formations. It’s quite a sight to watch the sea green, seemingly pure ocean water thrash the craggy surfaces.

A snack along the way to Hana can be found at Halfway to Hana, a no-gas pumps, no-restrooms shack serving cold drinks, shaved ice and is the home to the original banana bread. The friendly outposters are also helpful navigators should you miss any sights along the way.

HALFWAY THERE, BUT FULL OF MORE MUST-SEE SIGHTS The Upper Waikani Falls, also known as 3 Bears Falls, offer a nice look at nature between mile markers 19 and 20 that can SRP] FI HIWGVMFIH EW ±GYXI ² 8LI [EXIVJEPPW JSYRH LIVI ¾S[ MR a group of three (provided the area hasn’t gotten an excess EQSYRX SJ VEMR XLIR ]SY QE] ½RH ]SYVWIPJ WXEVMRK EX E YRM½IH fall), with one big fall, one medium fall and, predictably, one small fall.
