| Honda gl1800 goldwing. when driving between 10 to 20 mph engine overheats and expends coolant directly in front of the rear tire causing a serious loss of traction which could lead to a crash. additional driver distractions are created. ts | |||

| Motorcycle has a tendency to overheat when driven slow, ie., in traffic or when going through a construction area. this is very dangerous, as it takes away my concentration to drive, since i have to keep a constant eye on the temp gauge. this happened to me twice so far, once in a traffic jam, and the other in a construction zone. there is also the very real possibilty of loosing coolant in this overheating situation, and getting it on the rear tire, which would result in loosing controi of the bike. if i am forced to pull over due to overheating, i run the risk of me and/or my passenger to be struck by a passing vehicle. thank you for your time in reviewing this potentially dangerous problem.*ak | |||

| Engine overheats at low speeds, coolant spews onto roadway and rear tire slips in the coolant. must pull to side of road to avoid engine damage, very hazardous. radiator fans are running as designed during overheating situations, occurs at low speeds from 15 to 25 mph.*ak | |||

| The design of the honda goldwing cooling system fails miserably in heavy, slow moving traffic conditions found at construction sites, metro areas, parades, etc. in my cases as the engine temp rose to the upper limits i was hemmed in by traffic and unable to pull over to allow the engine to cool. serious personal hazards are presented by this design flaw: 1) being struck by other vehicles while sitting along the side of the road. 2) many side road surfaces not suitable for pulling off onto. 3) many roads not having a shoulder. 4) coolant vented by bike falls directly in front of rear wheel creating an extremely slippery surface and increasing the potential of serious harm and even death to rider and passenger.*ak | |||

| Vehicle overheats at low speed operation, concern of boiling over, engine failure which while manuevering on a motorcycle could be very dangerous. *ak | |||
