Honda Dealerships
When planning a trip, especially a very long one, you may realize
you might need to stop by a Honda dealership for a tire change
or service. Knowing this in advance, you’ll probably contact the
dealership and plan your route accordingly. However, sometimes
the unexpected happens. This is when its good to know there are
almost 1,100 Honda dealers across the country with multiple locations in every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Whether its a planned tire change, an unexpected repair, a
needed part, an accessory, or riding gear, Honda dealerships are
the best place to go for Gold Wing and Gold Wing rider assistance. Also, especially during this time of year, dealers host open
houses or other fun events where motorcyclists congregate. Furthermore, dealers who host GWRRA chapters might be fun to visit,
especially if you coordinate your visit to coincide with a chapter
meeting or event. You’ll find information about special events at
dealer websites, links to which are included in the Find A Dealer
function on the Honda Powersports website and mobile website.

Honda Gold Wings are designed for long distance touring and
that is exactly what many GWRRA members are using them for this
riding season. For those with plans to travel the highways and
byways of our great country this year, this issue of The Red Page
includes information about touring resources you may find useful.

Finding a Honda dealership couldn’t be easier. The Honda Trip
Planner has an option to show dealership icons on its map view
(as shown on the map to the left). The Gold Wing navigation system has Honda dealerships in its points of interest listings and has
dealership icons shown in certain map views. You can also search
for specific or nearest dealers. The mobile version of the Honda
Powersports website makes finding a dealer easy on your smart
phone by using your current location to show where the closest
dealer is. You can also add a ZIP code to find nearby dealerships.
The URL for the mobile website is m.powersports.honda.com. This
would be a good website to save as a favorite on your smart
phone. The regular version of the website is at powersports.honda.com. The always helpful GWRRA Gold Book also has
a list of Honda dealers.

Trip Planning Assistance

The GWRRA Gold Book

Using the Gold Wing navigation system and/or the Honda Trip
Planner makes planning a trip easy. The mapping and points of
interest features allow you to create a route and select points of
interest to visit along the way. The Gold Wing Navigation System
Owner’s Manual includes everything you’ll need to know to use the
system. Access the Honda Trip Planner at tripplanner.honda.com.
See the April 2012 The Red Page for more information.

Roadside Assistance

Gold Wing Touring
Resources

Electronic Touring Aids
With electronic devices like smart phones and navigation systems,
a lot of the pre-planning we used to complete ahead of time can
now be accomplished on the road. If you need to know where the
nearest gas station, restaurant, motel, or Honda dealership is, you
can simply check your smart phone or the Gold Wing navigation
system. This ability is particularly useful for those riders who make
more of an adventure out of motorcycle touring by not planning in
advance. In addition, you can check traffic and weather conditions
along your planned route on your smart phone, when stopped, or
with an XM NavTraffic/NavWeather subscription, while underway, on 2009 and newer, navigation-equipped Gold Wings.

An indispensable touring resource is the GWRRA Gold Book. It
has useful information including the Help-On-the-Highway listing of
those who may be able to assist fellow members in distress.

The peace of mind coming from having roadside assistance makes
enjoying a road trip that much easier. HondaCare Roadside Assistance can provide that peace of mind by ensuring you’ll never be
stranded by the side of the road. For more information about the
program go to powersports.honda.com/protectionplan.aspx or
visit your local Honda dealer.
