Wayne Simpson I’m with you 100%, I don’t care what you ride, at least you are on the road and some of them are out there in the same bad weather as me, rain, dust storm or cold winter day, they see me and I see them. Yes there is an Air Force guy cruising a Honda grom from town to base and I wave to him as well. Granted it is only about 10 miles from the edge of town to the base but still a number of the spring, summer and fall guys are in their cars or trucks while I’m out in the rain with the Grom guy and others. I may catch a bit of back talk from the other guys who I ride with but I don’t care and give it right back. Especially the ones that I pass in their warm and dry cages.

I like what u said bout sportster man. That's what I ride and am always taking shit from friends with bigger bikes. I live bare bones and that's what I can afford and am thankful I have it and am able to ride.

Lets see one of those macho man fucks ride a bare bones sporty cross country with no air ride, no bags, no GPS and no fancy fairing filled with a stereo and instruments. They are basically riding a 2 wheel car...who is the little girl??? Would I love to have a bagger? Sure, but that doesn't mean I would piss on other bikers riding smaller bikes. When i ride, I run across guys riding everything from Honda Rebels to full dress Cadillac's on two wheels and I wave to any rider I pass.

I've ridden motorcycles since I was 16 but never been interested in clubs or associations. For me it's still the soft siren call of the open road, the sound of tyres on hot tarmac and that feeling of being unencumbered by humdrum day to day life. The purity of motorcycling is setting your own pace and choosing your own path to wander. Anything else is just a distraction. Happy riding! 😊

You hit the nail on the head with that one. I’m 67 now, and I suppose that has something to do with it, but I too am done with rules, politics, and structure of almost any kind. I’ve been riding motorcycles for just over two years now, almost 29,000 miles. I haven’t planned any of the trips other than just having a general direction in mind. It’s the freedom to have an adventure, and a $2,500, 15 year old, motorbike is just my current tool of choice.

I'd don't understand the MC mentality. Why would you take something as free spirited as motorcycling and choose to enslave yourself with more government style rules?

I too joined an MC here in MO and although they are a great group of standup folks, I just realized I wasn’t much of a joiner. You see, I’m a retired vet and I thought I wanted that veteran brotherhood to last forever. The 1st problem is, it don’t. The next is the politics in regards to other MCs became so nonsensical to me that I shook my head and rethought things. So, I decided if I was going to ride, it was going to be for me and my family & not for a patch. Also, although I love HD, I have ridden so many different makes that I’m simply not brand loyal. So, I’m selling my 16 Indian & my 12 CVO Ultra to purchase a high tech BMW 1600 B & an old EVO powered HD to tinker with. I also could give 2 turds about image.

Been watching a bunch of videos lately, and yours are some of the best. Thank you. I'm an older rider that after almost 30 years of being without, just recently got back to riding again. My first trip out I know I over did it a bit. Went for about an hour and a half and was hurting like crazy later that day, but I had a smile on my face you couldn't have knocked off with a 2x4. Didn't go with friends or a group, was just me with my thoughts and wherever my front wheel pointed. For me that was more than enough. Many things you talked about in this video rang true with me. While it would be nice to find a group to ride with...to share with. For the time being though, I'm once again content with open road and miles sliding by. Roll on.

Brother, I am so glad to have come across this video. Blessings to you for standing firm in your faith and declaring it to the world. You can't live unless you die first. Safe riding, brother, to you and your friends.

videos like this one make me extremely grateful to be part of such a great community, even more so to have met you in person. You are remarkable guy Corey, thank you for putting these together, it is always such a joy to watch your vids

Seen some people in clubs, that once that patch isnt there, their brothers ain't either. If your only a brother, because of a patch, your living the wrong lifestyle. I got bros, bros I would die for, and they the same. A patch should be, along with a club, if chosen to do so, should just be a way of conforming to something together. Shouldn't be something that makes brothers, brothers. Bonds, experiences, good and bad times, that makes brothers.

I really enjoy your words and your faith. Nearing 70 years old, I've been in several civic clubs and church groups and for the most part, they were good but it seems politics always finds its way into the top priorities groups. I'm a devout Christian and I've always tried to live like Jesus is beside me - which he is! I never hate and I try to believe in the good in everyone. Please keep up the good work. I've just discovered your videos and look towards seeing many more. On the material side, I've owned many bikes over the years of all sizes and styles from different countries. I've loved all of them in one form or another. Right now, I'm riding an old Sporty 883 with lots of patina. I maintain the mechanical parts because I like to get where I'm going but the bling is not my priority. It's like having a favorite pair of old shoes or boots, the older they get, the more I like them.

All love man, great outlook. God bless!

Your a good dude...I watched your video about point change on your old Ironhead...reminded me of my first HD an AMF Sportster circa 78...I was 20 years old then and man did I love that little bike (most of the time) but typically I would find myself adjusting the pushrods on a hot engine on the side of a country road. I remember riding it at night from my girlfriends house and loving how the night air smelled, the rumble and the lights on those two gauges. So now its 37 years later and Im still riding..my big black bagger and my ole trusty nightrain...they still take me back to those nights so long ago. Peace and good health brother.

Well said man. I think that's why I've never officially joined a group / MC. Never could get how it's so easy come, easy go. I want to be apart of something greater and I'll continue my search on two wheels. Be blessed and ride safe my brother in Christ.

Dang brother you made so many good points. I don’t think many people truly understand what it means to love someone. You nailed it right on the head, as usual.

Thanks so much for sharing! Continue in the faith! I like choppers too, I recently bought a 2002 sportster 1200, hopefully I can make it a hardtail chopper one day. God bless you!

Bought my first Harley in 1985, 76 XLH 1000 bicentennial model. Still have it. Ride it occasionally. Have heard the same crap over the years. Usually from the guy who has a big twin that he has financed for 10 years. Mine is and has been paid for since 87. BTW, these were usually the same people who disrespected me back in the day because I rode H-D.

I rode in a club for a bunch of years and when it became too political, I got out. No more for me. My next door neighbor is a BACA member which is a good hearted club but when you get the full patch, you have to make 85% of the rides. I want to ride when I want to and where I want to. No more clubs for me.

And not that I lost my bike due to life situations. I still talk to most of them and hang out with them. It’s hard at times because we would always ride 100s miles in a day. I have memories going to Daytona bike week and sharing the word and feeding the homeless. God has a reason for everything I believe nothing is by accident. Me coming on Joe live stream at the same time you did. And joe letting us know about you. I will ride again one day . Hope you and your family have a great and blessed week and stay safe.

100% agree when I rode a sportster before my dyna there was always 1-2 guy that would laugh and say that’s a girls bike

Well awesome I guess. I’ll have to say I’ve ridden for years, and when you’re young and not beat up, those sportsters and customs are fun to ride but as you get older and want to ride long trips with the fam, those girl bikes are wonderful for the bones. And I bet Jesus wouldn’t judge them nor the fellow riding one for it. Ride what you ride, have fun. Just saying.

One of my best interactions with a MC was a CMA . Meeting by chance at a moto restaurant w/outside dining .We BS'ed about bikes and road trips and when we (Wife and I ) were about to leave he asked if he could have a quick prayer w/us . As a Christian I was honored and happy to share that moment and will remember forever w/fondness .

I rode my Sporty from a town south west of Fort Worth, to New Orleans and back, and I have stiff shocks, but I kinda like it that way. That's a good point that a brother (or sister) is one, even if you don't wear the same patch on your backs.

I ride with my lady. I ride mine she rides hers, used to ride HD’s now we ride v4s. Hers a magna , mine a vmax and that’s good enough for me she won’t let me down, I won’t let her down. V4s pass just about everything but a gas station lol. We’ve been sober 10yrs and counting 🏍👍

Did a 5,000 mi. trip in ' 83 on a 1980 XLS sportster. You can do it. Cheers

Both you guys ROCK!!!

had to watch this video twice....man it resonated with me.....thank you

Saw your ironhead build and stumbled on more videos. Glad I saw this one. My dad was the president of the CMA Orange country ca chapter for awhile.. Steve. I lost the faith but we’ve been trying to build a 76 iron head chop

In the late 60's and early 70's i had a 1941 45 Cubic Inch Sports Solo all my friends had Harley's. A guy we knew got a 1965 305 Honda Dream and we all made fun of him until we started riding with him. That 305 Dream would run the balls off our old Harley's and had way more top end than my 45 Cu In. I never made fun of any other bike after that but we still got more girls than Bob on his Honda. The problem with Biker groups is you end up on the FBI domestic terrorist list even if it is not recognized as a criminal gang.

I'm born again Christian looking for somebody to ride with

In 1978, on a beautiful sunny day, I was riding my Honda 350 (first bike)......Had my sunglasses on and just cruising along when all of sudden a dude in a truck, stuck out his head out yelled at the top of his lungs, "get a Harley"! I wasn't offended or anything. Was kinda funny.....Months later, I got to test drive my wife's cousins Sportster, and understood! Wow, I said to myself! However, back when, Harleys, were pieces of junk not to mention oil leakers etc and to top it off, owned by a bowling ball company....I stopped riding for some 32 years, as my wife was a homemaker so I could not take a chance of getting injured etc... Never forgetting that rumble on my scrotum all those past years, finding out the Davidsons bought there family company back from the bowling ball co (AMF really?) haha and thanks to prez Reagans intervention to help it survive.....And I was nearing retirement! All the stars were lining up! I would lick my chops, at the latter part of my years of work, when I saw all those "Johnny come lately fellows (as I refer to them now haha) riding those Harleys and other bikes also and would just say to myself, "gonna get me one"....And can qualify as well as quantify that statement (johnny come latelys), because I did ride in the rain, sleet and snow in my younger years, unlike my "tough guy" (wanna be's with tattoos etc haha) counterparts did, knowing full well they DO NOT RIDE, not even with itty bitty sprinkles coming down! Haha 5 years fast forward, from my retirement date I purchased a 2014 much awaited Sportster! Even taking on a job as a janitor to pay for it! God is good.....

I have been riding for a loooong time. I had a couple M.C.'s try to recruit me years ago, but I have never been much of a joiner. I also have never cared much what other people ride. So long as your in the wind and what your riding works for you, more power to ya brother. Knees in the breeze is my only disease!!!

Thanks for the message. Be safe

Check out Icon Pursuit gloves. They fit...like a glove.

thank you for the break down on a sportster being a girls bike....love it..

My 'back in the day' was '76 to '95; with regards to MC's. Your story resonates with me. Well said my Brother. All the best from East Coast Canada.

Man I can hear the bumps in your voice, god bless, I would be done for after a ride like that. Good points, nice video, very entertaining.

Here's the thing about the Sportster: It's too damn small for two-up riding. It just is. That damn passenger seat is *tiny*. And Sportsters look so goofy with huge seats ang big gas tanks on them - you might as well just buy a damn SuperGlide. That said, to single ol' me, the Sporty is the best bike ever. I'm on my third - all 883s. I've taken my second one from Florida to Washington State *twice*. Luckily it had the 3.3 gallon tank. My latest one has the 2.2, and I really need to find a "King" tank for it. I can do 100 miles on this one, but it's cutting it close...too close. Oh yeah, you can't beat 55-60 mpg on a Big Twin. But that's what all of my Sportsters have gotten. (883 and don't go too crazy-rich on the jetting.) Also, on a Sportster the distance from the seat to the mid-pegs is very short, forcing us old guys into a bend of the knees/hip that is just uncomfortable on long runs. Highways help, but you still gotta shift and stop. You *could* go with forwards, but I like the mids because they're more, um, "sporty." (I do have highways, btw, and passenger pegs and I use all three.) Oh yeah, I also own a Dyna Super Glide. It's..nice, yeah, but honest to God, I enjoy riding the Sportster more. It does remind me of my original Honda 350. And, considering how heavy I am now compared to when I was sixteen, the power-to-weight ratio is probably about the same, which is why they feel so similar...and fun! End of Sportster sermon: Church dismissed ;-) Rock on, Saddle Tramp - love your videos!

I also have a Sporty 883 with mid-pegs and it's the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. I'm 70 years old and this is by far the best bike I've ever had for my back which has a herniated disc that presses on my sciatic nerve. Most of you guys already know the extreme and constant pain this causes. Forward controls limit my rides to 30 minutes max. My mid-controls let me ride as long as I want regardless of highway cruising or screaming through the mountain twisties. I don't pass judgment on forward controls, they just don't work for me. As far as the 883 being a smaller engine and running at higher revs at the same speed as a 1200, that doesn't bother me a bit. My riding buddies have a Sportster 1200 XL custom and a Road King Twin Cam 88. I don't have any problem keeping up with them anywhere. I've owned a bunch of motorcycles in the last 56 years from different countries and in different styles. My 2005 XL883 standard is by far the most fun bike I've ever owned and I get more "smiles per mile" from it than from all the rest combined. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't check the weather to see if I will go riding. The best part of this video is the sound of the Tramp with its 883. Love the tramp. It's not my style but it ain't my bike. I still love it because it makes its human accessory happy. Extra comment on my Sporty: it's the last year the Sportster had the straight-cut gears in the transmission before going to helical-cut gears. H-D says they did it to reduce the "noise" of the transmission. Really? That is not "noise" to me. That sound is just as important as the engine and exhaust sounds which are all music to my ears. And who doesn't love the Harley "clunk" when going into first gear. It's never missed a shift. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've done a lot upgrades and changes to my silver-gray and black bike (Soon to be known as "Old Gray" or "Hi-Yo Silver" -- not sure which, yet.) but she still looks 99% stock. It has very little chrome with its flat gray engine and black frame which is perfect for me because I don't like "bling". I don't polish it because it interferes in my riding time. The only thing I clean is the bugs on my windshield. (Yeah, I'm one of those guys.) However, I'm a fanatic about maintenance and fluids.

Thank you for clearing that up about the sportster!! You only hear that out of the HD people. If a man rides up on agoldwing and the other on a rebel he just says nice bike..yeah ive seen women on road kings ,fatboys,heritage guess Harley's are a girls bike..just found your channel.. Love it!!

A-men. Found your channel earlier today. Watched many of your vlogs, then decided to go back top your beginning here and get caught up. I don't even have a running bike right now, and its just a 450 Suzuki to boot. Love your stature and message. Knees in the breeze, my brother. Just subscribed.
