Hello, Amigo.
Thanks for stopping by!! This is my channel where I make random videos of motorcycling, wrenching on bikes, motorcycle travels, and whatever else I feel the need to vlog about. I hope you enjoy the content if you've already seen some. If so... feel free to subscribe for more future content. I never know what my next video will be, but I do try to keep it interesting.

Awesome trip Corey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've always wanted a 90's Softail with the Evolution engine. I haven't gotten the Softail but I've been fortunate to have ridden one and I loved how smoothly it rode. It was like flying down the highway on a cloud to me compared to my Japanese "cruiser" which is more of a do it all machine, high performance, solid braking, viable cruiser, suitable for 2 up riding and fairly comfortable. That's the '82 Yamaha XJ1100J Maxim. Well, I finally had the $ and the opportunity to buy a Harley-Davidson and my first ever V-Twin at the same time and the seller was less than a mile away from home and the bike is a super clean well cared for '94 Dyna Wide Glide. It has much of the look I was going for in wanting a softail and someday I will still work towards getting an Evo Softail. The Evolution big twin and the Sportsters are the only HD engines I ever want to bother with and with some tooling on it it will be all the performance I want or need from a cruiser. For now I expect it is a stock machine orher than the Arlen Ness air cleaner. If I want a speedier V-Twin for now I just picked up another bike I've wanted for decades for the look and it came from the factory with a good 30+ horsepower more than the Evo 80 from a Honda Shadow VT1100C. I'm diving headlong back into motorcycles amd riding and actually getting my adult sons into fixing bikes and learning to ride on the old '73 Yamaha Enduros I've had kicking around for decades. Now once they're up to stepping up to a bigger street bike I have 4 of them that are completely capable of long distance rides and we're decided on making the 700+ mile ride to Sturgis soon. Probably next year so we can ride with the CVMA chapter I'm looking to patch into as a full member.
If it ain't from the 70s or 80s it ain't shit
Good times!
HAD SOME BANDIDOS AT THE STORE WITH YALL THATS AWESOME 👌 LOTS OF LOVE TO YALL..GOD BLESSED
@@MIKELEE86 They were actually Pistoleros.

@SaddleTrampTV that's still awesome bro I couldn't really tell just kinda seen the colors lots of love from Texas...but God bless yall my brothas stay safe and ride with love and enjoyment in your hearts.RIDERS 4 CHRIST
I rode my 1988 flhs to Washington State from Maine and back. I bought a new in '88 still have it
Any engine , not tuned correctly , will foul plugs. So the guys that told you that, Are admitting.They don't know what they're doing. Changing the sprockets for deering for cruising 70, Is very simple. I think this will have to be my last video, for some reason.I take it very personally when someone trashes a shovel head. It's weird,but it is what it is.
Getting caught in the rain ain't as bad as having to go outside and get on the scooter to ride when it's raining
@@lonesometinman3147 Yeah really.
Hey buddy.....I got a 98 Fatboy, do you like the Primo setup? I live in NC, Primo is like 45 min from me. Thanks and thanks for the vids.
Dam I wish I could of been there I live not too far from there
Get water in the transmission?????
@@wvbiker746 No. All good
One thing, to get soaked on the way home.. but getting drenched on the way there, - well that just sucks. Glad you're OK. 👍🏼
Awesome, your wife is badass. A lot of people wouldn't do the drive in a car much less on a bike. 🙏
I don't know what's worse getting caught in a flash flood or driving over a mountain range in a blizzard with the pass closed Infront and back, I started making deals, maybe I better start paying up, 😊
If you ride a bike for any length of time, eventually you're gonna roll with the punches.
As much as I love HDs, I am more and more convinced that a good use ADV bike is the way to go for traveling. Don’t care to go off road but the main roads are getting really dicey across the country and the weather is always a potential challenge.
I live and ride motorcycles in Florida. We get some monsoons during the rainy season. Some storms dump 24" of rain in 24 hours. I have ridden in storms that the carbs on my BMW 600/6 were underwater. I rode in water up to the carb on my Sportster before turning around and heading back home.
Hadn't heard from you for awhile, glad to see another video. I'm looking for an older Harley for myself. I sold a big metric dresser last year because of my strength waning with age. Time for an evo with a lot less weight,Heritage or a dyna. You'd think they are gold plated with the way they are priced locally. I rode a 72 FLH that i had stripped down to just a wide glide style for years. My brother in law owns it now and won't sell my old shovel back to me but let's me ride it when we are in FL. Visiting . Be safe out there and tell the Mrs i said God Bless you both ❤
Nice one brother
Good seeing you again! I’ve been wondering how it was going down in Mississippi. Take care!😉👍
Looks like a great time except the heavy rain
Gotta roll with the punches sometimes if you travel on a bike.
😎👍👍👍
Regularly check the caliper temperature after a ride. No it shouldn't be warm if you didn't use it a fair bit. Hot is dragging. The stock brakes on my '99 FXDL with EBC HH pads would catch out anyone who says Harley brakes are cr*p. In the UK HD parts are twice what they are in the US which is already 4 times what they should be.
Praise the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! God Bless!
Glad you guys are safe
Great video. I have been missing them.
Me too
Yall should go to thunder in the smokies this fall it's in Maggie valley
@@edwardblaine8426 Thanks. I'll give it some thought.
I'm heading down there Thursday. Like to meet you if you're still around!
Omg took forever to get to the point of the video
Did you happen to see Dave Perewitzs build for born free this year?? It's a pretty cool build.. he found a original Ness digger frame and put a first generation twin cam a engine & transmission into it. Motor went from 88 to 124" and he installed a baker 6 speed gearset into the 5 speed case.. of course the paint is killer but the entire bike is really cool. Has carbon fiber wheels and all kinds of really great parts.. Perewitz hasn't done a completed video of it since the last video was right before the bike was leaving for California, but on his and Jody's channel they've showed some videos of it.. just discovered that they had a channel recently and they have some pretty cool interviews on there with all kinds of people
If you go straight west and jump over to Oklahoma there's some nice riding.. there was a pretty cool little rally in Spavinah Ok.. I'm sure it's still going on.. either way that hole region of Arkansas, Missouri and western Oklahoma is beautiful riding
Long time no see , ride with wings my friend...
I just stumbled across your video here from me searching to gather information about the different Harley engines pros and cons! I have to say I really enjoyed the way you created this video and with your personal opinions from a regular owner. So thank you!
Looked like an awesome trip man!
It was alright
I’ve rode with a few of them & they’re good people that’s for sure
As Always Thanks For Sharing!
Well I’ve always heard, it’s not if but when and how bad, laid my bike down Memorial Day and broke my foot, be safe out there, can’t wait to get back on Two Wheels🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💯🏍️🇺🇸
Like Jim k. , I started on 57 side valve (and still have her) and was a dealership mechanic not a parts changer technician for 21 years and retired in 2000. I sold 2 shovels a 73 and 78 in 1992 and got my EVO that I have still today. Over the years I had the opportunity to service, repair and ride most all of the different HD bikes including the twin cam. We had to put a new cam bearing and adjuster from Jim’s till the Motor Company came out with the factory upgrade but like most things growing pains happen. The EVO is the winner. There were minor setbacks when she was introduced also but nothing the Motor Company made before or in my opinion since is finer than a “V” twin EVO. They run like the wind, top ends last and last, maintenance is a breeze (red lock tight) and repair is a snap. All the parts you could ever need or want are still available and affordable. Finally, this motor will hold value also. My Dad’s favorite saying was if you have to make payments for your fun, your fun owns you not you owning your fun. Make payments on more land only. Sincerely, Pops Fitch Post Script: I’m a young man also……69 years young. God Bless
You got a swinging bike there son. Sincerely, Pops
Your lucky the bike fired up again in that storm,no problems with the bike later like water damage ect?
All good so far
An evo is good and reliable@@SaddleTrampTV
It was a great video Cory. Kim really earned her wings.
Thanks Joe. During the worst of it, all I could think of was, “We HAVE to get this bike out now, otherwise, it’ll be going home on a truck”. Thankfully, God worked it ALL out for us.
@@themissuscostelli497 I'm sure hit had to be scary though. Stay safe.
Great video Corey👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the video , y'all be safe out there
We'll give it a shot.
Wow that was a wild storm, glad it cleared up for some sweet rides! Hydro planing, crazy weather, lots of laughs and nervousness from somehow surviving, those are the great memories on the road! 😁 awesome
It was more than interesting to say the least.
Hey guys another great video!!! Seeing everyone at Spring Fling makes it all worth wild!!! Ride safe my friends until the next Fling!!!
It was good to see you and Aaron again! Just wish our time together was longer!
We didn’t get to spend the time like I would have liked. So next year we need to plan better.
Great video. I wish our videos would turn out this good. It was great seeing you two again. Looking forward to the next time.
thanks for the video mate
You bet
I have been in some good ole Gulf Coast thunderstorms where you cant see the bike in front of you but I have never seen anything that bad. Glad yall are safe.
Nice ride.......... Peace out.......
I was at the spring fling. Would like to meet you one day. Not many people ride the old bikes anymore I ride a 87 heritage also have a new bike but the heritage is so much more fun
They have way more character for sure.
Life is good, Monday a.m. and I wake up to a SaddleTramp video. It's going to be a good day. I'll see you and Mrs at Forgotten Angels in October.
