ABOUT ME:
My name is Mengy and this is my motovlogging channel, Moto Mengy. I plan to upload a Goldwing moto vlog every Monday. I ride a 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour but I rode Harley Davidson's for 25+ years before. I'm motovlogging with a GoPro Hero 8 Black mounted to a Bell Mag 9 open face helmet, no external mic! To me riding is wind therapy.
My goal for the channel is to motovlog Pennsylvania country roads while also motovlog exploring around America. I'll also talk about biker topics and such, probably test ride a few other motorcycles, and will definitely get lost and accidentally wind up on unpaved roads along the way.
Please SUBSCRIBE if you like my channel and LIKE any videos you enjoy! Thanks!!!

I picked up my 2021 Honda DCT with airbag last month. It’s an amazing ride. I’ve ridden Harley and Kawasaki. The Gold wing takes the cake. FYI another way to disengage the cruise control on a Honda Gold wing DCTS is ti slightly roll the throttle up in the opposite direction. It will automatically disengage the cruise control.

Thanks for the button tour bro! I have the 2020 Africa Twin Adventure sport DCT so many of the controls are similar. I've been going through some anxiety about if I chose the right bike for me though, and now have mixed feelings telling me I might have been happier with a 2020 or newer Goldwing DCT. I prefer the bagger version though because my wife isn't that much into riding so I don't need a passenger seat. I think one day I may end up with one of these bikes, or who knows, maybe I can find someone who wants to trade for my Twin. I'd really like to see you demonstrate how the walk modes forward/reverse work on that bike. A feature I would love to have for parking or turning around in tight spaces.
@MotoMengy 3 жыл бұрын
The walk mode is super easy to use, I'll add a demo of it to my list of "to do" vids and get it online in a few weeks or so. I would have bought the bagger Goldwing myself but my girlfriend rides with me a lot, and she loved the back seat on the tour so I had to get it. 😎

@@MotoMengy If I get one I'll be getting the bagger for the opposite reason. My wife could not care less if she ever rides on the back. It's just not her thing, she is happy with this just being MY thing. If you do a video showing the walk modes, be sure to show how to maneuver it around tight spots like in and out of tricky parking spaces and in tight parking lots, or trying to do a U turn on a narrow road.

@@jamesrokos8007 If you are referencing the Battery Tender plug that is factory installed; yes there is. But you should safeguard against using a car battery for jumping unless in dire circumstances; use it without the car running to lessen the amperage to your GW. FYI, the factory plug is rated at 15 amps and is equipped with a fuse. You would need an appropriate two-prong for your bike with the other end being the battery terminal clips.

@mcmneverreadsreplys7318 Ай бұрын
Assuming this video is still accurate in 2024, you accidentally answered a question I've had: I know you can Manually shift a DCT using the 'paddle shifters', but wondered if you can Manually shift the DCT using a traditional toe-shifter? Obviously, since there is no Manual hand clutch there can be no traditional Manuel toe-shifter. I'll try to keep an open mind, but I must admit, not having traditional Manual shifting as an option is a BIG negative for me. On the open road there is no practical difference between auto and manual. In traffic driving an auto would be easier but I trust myself more than a machine. I suppose I'll have to look into what (if any) non-shift related advantaged the DCT has over the Manual T.
@MotoMengy Ай бұрын
From what people have told me there is a manual toe shifter which can be installed down below like normal, though there still isn't a hand clutch. I've heard it works pretty well, but I've never looked into it myself as I'm completely happy with the bike just as it is.

@MotoMengy Жыл бұрын
The remote just has a key built into it which can be used to unlock the saddlebags in case of a battery failure on the bike.

Passenger doesn't have radio controls?

No, the back seat can only control the heat settings for the back seat.

too many buttons to operate while riding on the road.. takes too much of your focus away from the road ahead. The screen should be touchscreen to make it easier to select addresses for navigation instead of having to scroll through city, state, street, house number, etc.. takes forever to get going.. Also, what's the deal with the gas tank? it takes four steps to open the filler.. open panel, press button, open second panel, twist open filler cap?? Honda needs to reduce the number of buttons, add a touchscreen, and simplify the gas fill up process and you'll easily double your customer base.. love the DCT though.... but bike is not ready for me to trade.. great video though.. thanks for sharing..

I pretty much agree with everything you said, although the lots of buttons isn't too big an issue while riding because I don't use half of them all that much. The gas tank door is a pet peeve of mine though. 😡

Too much stuff. Does it have CB built into the infotainment system ? I hear the navigation system on the wing is not that good.
@MotoMengy 3 жыл бұрын
No CB built in, but yeah the Honda GPS isn't wonderful. Harley's is much better.

So what about the key fob, all I’m seeing is the bike being stolen, why would you leave out the most important part of the bike 🤔
@MotoMengy 3 жыл бұрын
I just keep the fob in my pants pocket, so when I walk away the bike locks up. There isn't much to the fob though.

The buttons, knobs, switches, electronic ride and traction controls, radio, GPS, and Phone are to me a distraction from the experience of the ride. Too bad U cannot buy a stripped Goldwing with a 6,5 gallon tank and bigger paniers that will fit two helmets and a bike weight of 650 lbs. for $18K.
@MotoMengy 3 жыл бұрын
That's what the ST1300 used to be, a stripped down Goldwing more or less. Honestly all the buttons don't distract me while riding because I don't need most of them 90% of the time while I'm riding.

I've been riding for 42 years... I can see those over-complicated controls getting someone killed. Honda, keep it simple stupid. This isn't a Lincoln Continental. A rider shouldn't have to be searching buttons to look for the correct function. That's one of the things I like about my 2013 Fjr, It doesn't have an infotainment system, but most everything else is there and accessible with two switches, and you don't need a navigation system to find your way through your bike's electronics. And don't even get me started on talking about a motorcycle having automatic transmission. Europeans think Americans are lazy, because we have automatic transmissions in our cars. You know, they're right about that. Motorcycles ? Really ? Drive an effing minivan.
@MotoMengy 3 жыл бұрын
I have to disagree with you on both the controls and the DCT. The new Wing has a LOT less controls than the previous generation Wing did (it's actually comparable to a Harley Road Glide), and I feel the automatic nature of the DCT actually makes riding safer than shifting. But this is why a variety of bikes on the market is a good thing, everyone has different desires and opinions on what is good and bad! 😎

Don’t like the switches? Don’t use them when riding. 🤷🏻♂️ Learn the ones you need while riding and ignore the rest.
