I will have to back you up with all your comments regarding this subject 😂 as for i who has been riding since the 80's and have being in a few MC clubs leading up to my current club and I have to say that being on the road almost 500,000 miles on various different types of motorcycles in every type of weather you can imagine has definitely made a Ole tuff individual out of me from having no choice but to MAN UP a 1000 times😂 I've been in rain so bad at night that we would have the follow vehicle get in front leading the way and us riding in a tight up close pack because all you can see is the faint glow of the tail lights in front of you, have been in a few tornadoes around Erie Pennsylvania and Lincoln Nebraska and had car's blowing horns and pointing to the danger 😂 but sometimes when you HAVE to be somewhere at a certain time ya gotta do what you gotta do 😂 been tired , hurting so bad , and i really wish this bike would have existed all them years and miles 💯 i love my 2021 PAS even though she's temperamental at times😂 keep the videos coming my friend 😎

You've definitely ridden in some rough situations, a tornado might be my limit but I recently saw one and thought "Why aren't these people running?". I might consider making a run for it on my Pan Am depending on the situation. The thing that scares me most in bad weather isn't the weather itself but like I alluded to- the other drivers. Clipping along and having traffic almost come to a stop because of a couple of raindrops is what scares me. You never know if everyone is paying attention behind you. But your right, the Pan Am does make the suffering more palatable and having it all those years I've been riding would've been great. The only downside is maybe I wouldn't appreciate it as much if I hadn't started out on something like a Sportster. Maybe the suffering built character (shrug)? Thank you for watching!

@Chase_N absolutely correct my friend 🤣 old iron head sporty for me lol , and others along the way that couldn't compare to the handling and power and comfort for me atleast being 55 years old with bum knees and 320 pounds at 6'1" the Pan America definitely makes my ride way more enjoyable 😁

The OE Michelin Scorchers. So far they've been great all around tires for my purposes of gravel and on-road use, though some of their capability might be attributed to the Pan Am. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
