Why do you see so many old people ride gold wings? Why is it such an old person bike? Welcome to Bulls and Jen, this is Rich. If we go outside the question, why do you see so many old people? Let me say old dirt, people on gold wings. Because we know younger people that ride it also. And we know in 2018 Honda made an attempt to peel to younger riders by coming out with the DCT's. And people loved them. But in 2018 when Honda launched the DCT, it was launched in Arizona with going road ride association and a bunch of old people, let's say older people. So, kick how it wanted to, why didn't they call us? Why we didn't go out there and ride? Now, it is what it is. But when the gold wing came out in 2018, that's what you see. A lot of people of age, buying a gold wing, you did not see even with that bike. You did not see a lot of younger people buying it. So, what is it about gold wing that attract the older crowds? Okay, let's start over the first fact. The older people, and when I'm talking about older people, I am talking about, and I'm going with going road ride association and a lot of people that we have met throughout the years of riding gold wings, are somewhere average age of 65 plus, 65 plus. And when Kek and I first got into going road riders association and went to our first meeting, we were thinking there's nothing that these people could do that we like doing. Now, I'm not talking about riding, they can ride for sure, and they ride long-home distances. I am talking about when we off the bike, you know, for us it's more than just riding. It is off the bike exploring. But to all the surprise, you know, a lot of them held up. So, back to the question, why is it an old person bike? First fact, because older people are a lot smarter than you are. They are a lot smarter. They know that the best bike, most reliable bike, for riding long distance, that gives you peace of mind. That's what it's about. You do not have to worry about any breakdowns or anything. You gotta worry about flat tires and little minor things like that. But I'm talking about engine breakdown. This is why a gold wing is so spectacular, and this is why a lot of older people ride gold wings. Now, the next one is basically speculation. A while young people don't ride it because a lot of young people say the price tag, come on people, really. Look at the price tags of the Harley-Davidson. They overpriced everything. Regardless of whether you think they are a great bike or a bad bike, Harley-Davidson overpriced everything. In any situation, if you really, I mean, really want a motorcycle, I don't know of any dealer that's going to let you walk out, regardless of what your price or your monthly payments are. Financer for everything. Now, it may be stretched out over six years instead of four or five years, but just pay it off early. But price. Speculation is, now remember, I said a final one, it's not speculation, the final is the truth. The speculation is because a lot of older people are no longer working and they have a lot of disposable income, they pay that much for a motorcycle. And gold wings are super comfortable. You know, they want to be riding a cross rocket and a bad bike that are going to be beat up at the end of the day. That's why you ride a gold wing. And for older people, it is simple. They are smarter. Okay. Now, to not make this a super long video, let me dive right into the answer. I'm going to dive right into the answer. And like I said, this is not speculation. We've been asking this question over the years. And we asked this question with younger people as well as older people. Why did you buy a gold wing? Why did you choose gold wing? Obviously, the answer is always kind of be reliability and the best bike and all old blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. However, the number one answer, the number one answer we've been finding out why you see so many older people riding gold wings is because they have always written gold wings. And a lot of the people we've been around been riding gold wing 30 plus years, 30, 40 years. And once they got a taste of the power, the engineering, the maneuverability of gold wings and the piece of mind, they didn't want to take a chance to get a bike what it got to be worried about in breaking down. And without naming names, well, at least there's a shop everywhere you go just in case my bike breaks down. Now, I heard some crazy reasons why people would buy bikes. I know people would switch from gold wings to Harley Davidson. But I know very many of them. But I know a lot of people that switch from Harley Davidson to gold wings. And I'm using Harley as an example because that's what I know. But I'm very sad to see it happen the opposite way around. And once you get the comfort of a gold wing and the power and speed of a gold wing, nothing else matters. Nothing else matters. Not to mention you got reliability, which is subjective. And you have peace of mind to what you're not worried about. What's going to happen with your bike? Will you out on a long ride? So when they first get a taste of gold wing, they stick with it. The older people stick with it. And that's going to happen with cake and I. It's going to happen with cake and I we're not in our sixties. Grand, we are in our fifties. And what is time for a new bike? Wow. What is time for a new bike? You best believe we stand with gold wing. Now I love V twins. I have one V twin. And I'm talking about a big cruiser. I love sports bikes. I had two sports bikes. But for the way we currently ride and obviously we get an older, we're not old. But we get older. We're going to stick with gold wings. So I ask you, those of you who watch it, you don't believe me. Next time you see a gold wing rider, ask him, why did you get a gold wing? Outside of the standard, well, the most luxurious, comfortable bike. And we know that's true. Outside of the standard, I was, hey, how long have you been riding a gold wing? And I'm talking about older people. I don't go to nobody who this day first time riding a gold wing. And a lot of these cats have written sports bikes. Other bikes are harder because you know, you're trying to make a quality product. Not all of them. But the gold wing is the top of the line. Ask and see what the answer is. Now, obviously everybody don't watch my videos. So you can't say, well, there was going to answer that because you mentioned any video rich. But for the most part, that's what happened. And those of you who younger people, let's say younger under, let's say under 60. Let's say around 55-ish. 55, what are your reason for going a gold wing? And if you are older and it's your first gold wing, what is your reason for buying a gold wing? Anyway, I want to concentrate on this nice, smooth road that we have here. That's Mount Diablo up there in the distance. We've got all this greenery that we normally don't have. But that's all I have for now. So if you're out riding, remember, ride long, ride hard, ride strong, and most importantly, ride safe. For most of James riders, I'm rich and I'm out. Peace! Now go get that gold wing! Ha-ha!
