  • I agree, a good pocket knife is a great purchase!

    One thing for readers to keep in mind is that unless you know how to fight with a knife (and know that the assailant doesn’t have a firearm), then it’s a very bad idea to brandish a knife even as a threat. If the assailant is able to disarm you, then you’ll be in a much worse situation than if you didn’t have the knife at all.


  • That was a pretty funny read!

    I’m guessing this could be a common use case difference? Maybe touring in smaller stints makes the goldwing seem like way too much overkill, but if I were to do a bike trip across the US, I’d much prefer riding on a goldwing vs a smaller and more “functional” bike. Several thousand miles can be a real killer without all those comfy bells and whistles.


  • What are you talking about? The goldwing has been consistently hailed as one of the best touring motorcycle for almost 40 years. Every long distance rider I’ve spoken to says the goldwing is their favorite bike for cross country rides, and the ones who have sold theirs for a BMW or Harley touring bike have expressed regrets about changing.

    Just because something has a lot of features, doesn’t mean it’s bad.
