Good to see out and posting videos again!

Great to see you back!

Good to see you out on the bike. I bought a 2024 Road Glide and Harley did what they should have done a while ago. Water cooled heads, all digital dash, 4 riding modes and everything that was an option on the 2023's standard now. I just started my videos. Take a look.

First time I’ve been interested in a new Harley since I bought my 2012 FLHTK.

Hey trouble maker, my year can be now move forward cause you are back! Hoping things continue to get better!

Thanks, Bob, and congratulations on the gorgeous new scoot!

Too funny. I’m a Harley guy but am considering a Goldwing and am also an avid sax player..all three of my daughters went to college in NC so I feel that we have a common bond. Glad that I found your channel.

Burned my leg from the heat generated just from the engine on my BMW K100 RT once on a long ride from Jersey to SC back in the late 90s.

Hey... Only black guy here resembles that statement. Started watching you when I became interested in bike riding and wanted a Goldwing for a first bike. Yeah. I know. Sorry, I'm 53, ain't nobody got time to start on a Grom. Just have to use Gear, lack of Alcohol, and common sense to preserve my life. Good seeing you ride again.

Hi everybody. My name is Michael, and I'm addicted to M7 videos. Great to see you out recording! Still riding my '18 Goldwing DCT Tour and my '16 ST1300 PA.....but forgetting to record. My wife is an English teacher....in CA....and has to keep her mouth shut regarding DEI stuff.

Your videos keep me awake at night they do not cure insomnia. glutton for punishment.. I do not have insomnia anyway. You just made me regret selling my !800 Goldwing. At 77 I think I actually did the right thing but.......keep me entertained Mike , Moose already did that, de mousing his trunk.

Oh, and as for your 1800 GW, I know how it feels to miss a bike now. You, like myself, are making the smart choice. I'm hoping that by the time I get to be 77 (if I make it that far), they will have made Wings that self balance. That'd be a game changer for the older folks.

117 has a head cooling now newet styem and it starts from the back with the cooling then the front. Supposed to be 40 degrees cooler. And it comes standard with the RDRS which used to be a 1,000 dollar upgrade with the tire monitor system and the brake hold feature. Its 5% more power some way they shaped to inside of the heads. And shocks are supposed to better. The bars on the RG are a lot better as well. And they dropped the price down like 2,000 starting at 25,999. For all the new stying and upgrades And so on and so on. 😁

Speaking truth to power always gets one in trouble... but it's SO worth it :D I don't mince words at work, and they know that. And if it doesn't fit their view, too bad, it's still the truth. Political correctness? You should HEAR what they say and SEE what goes on in my office... SMH. Man, even out of practice you're twice the rider I am! I need to practice more! Yeah, the GoPro Enduro batteries [white tops] don't expand. I still don't leave 'em on the charger longer than I have to [or until I remember they're there - oops!], but they haven't swelled like the blue tops did. What flavor Jell-O did you have? :D I like the new 2024 Harleys - IIRC, the 117 is at least partially liquid-cooled... so it'll run plenty cool. My 114 will get my leg warm, but I haven't touched the engine, so I dunno. Century Road ... I like that :D Great to see you out riding again, Mike!
