About our Honda GL1800 "Tour" DCT.
It is with sad hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved 2001 GL1800 which has served us so well since we joined the Goldwing community in 2017.
We are now proud owners of a 2018 GL1800 "Tour" DCT which we have named "Big Red" and are looking forward to some high milage in 2020. This is our dream bike and will be pampered, she will be kept in the dry and polished after every ride.

Our previous GL1800.
We purchased our Honda GL1800 Goldwing about 2 years ago when we made the decision to spend more time on the road attending bike rallies and ride outs.
It is a 2001 model, the first year with the 1800cc engine, fairly low milage with lots of added chrome bling.
