For the F6B and other GoldWing riders on this forum, Honda is planning a recall for every GL1800 made from 2001 through 2015.  That's all of them.  It's for a problem with the secondary master cylinder (for the linked brakes) that causes the rear brake to drag.  There's an article on Motorcycle.com linked here:  http://blog.motorcycle.com/2015/10/21/manufacturers/honda/honda-finally-has-a-fix-for-gold-wing-rear-brake-drag-issue/?utm_medium=display&utm_source=relatedscout&utm_content=title-3

1800 Valkyries don't have linked brakes, so... I guess we're good...

I had it happen a few times, but not very often.

Some people claim it's a death trap... it hasn't bothered me much.  I just go real easy on the throttle until I see the temp gauge start moving.

Had it happen to me upon occasion but if you mash the throttle is goes. Never have had it say no to go!! cooldude

I also think the rear brake is different on the F6C as compared to the B
