Traveling Tall
Пікірлер
Much appreciated Tall, I’m gonna get the bike I really want!
I did it. The first time I seen a Electra glide I fell in love. The first time I sat on one I nearly dropped it because of the weight and slippy showroom floor. Listen to @willyboader he hits the nail on the head (as we say here in the uk) and practice practice
Harley heavyweight full tank of Gas heavy.
When you held up the box containing the cam you cut the volume, what's being left out? My 22 I put in a Wood 22xe cam and loved the sound.
My background is similar to yours Tall. I had a Honda Spree scooter at 13. Rode that thing all over town(rural). Got a gsxr 750 blue/white color scheme. But I totally agree with you💯. RoadGlide sounds good👍🏿. Looks like that front tire was coming up😲.
Great video Tall! I started riding late in life (five years ago). Had the dealer deliver my first bike (2018 Road Glide Special) to my house, since I didn't have all of my gear onhand and knew I wasn't proficient enough to ride the bike home 50 miles. I'm 6'4" and 250lbs....so getting a smaller motorcycle wasn't an option for me. I spent the first month of ownership riding in my neighborhood and in parking lots. Ventured out to backroads in my local area for a couple of more month. Did my first group ride at about 9 months of ownership and never looked back. I ride year round and I've learned alot. I've seen people make dump mistakes while riding....so the more information like this we share...... the more informed the whole community will be.
Just purchased my first motorcycle at the beginning of this year a 2023 Streetg glide. My uncles ride road glides and although my bike is big the road glide fairing felt bigger or further back which made me not confident. So far I put 650 miles on it and I’ve dropped it one time coming to a stop in the parking lot with the forks turned. Since then there are things I’ve learned just like you said and I will say for my first bike I’m glad I got something that would motivate me to ride and learn.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as a beginner bike…. there are bikes that you begin on. My first bike was a Honda VTX 1800. I’m 6-4 200 plus. No way i was riding a 400 cc rebel for example. I started off slow, parking lot practice and then slowly got out there. Get what you want, learn the basics, go slow and gradually build your own pace. Ride safe!
Great video Tall. Bought my first bike last year. It’s a HD Pan America Special. I really wanted the CVO RG. Will be trading in the Pan America.
Hello Tall... nice video with many great points in it!!! I have to agree with you about all your advice for new riders and even some of us experienced riders too! Good job!!! John...
Bring on the video about riding in the rain because you never know. I've ridden the Cherohala Skyway in early October and had it snow on me.
One of the things I remember seeing during my years in road racing, was that the best racers / riders I've road with were dirt bike initial riders. They learned riding on a dirt bike.
The bike I really want is considered a beginner’s bike. I never thought about motorcycle’s until the LiveWire electric motorcycle which led me Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 as the best value and look to cruise around my area. I’m not big on traveling, just hitting the beach, downtown Detroit and back and forth to work.
You just rode through my part of the country.
I started out on a K Z 1000 Ha ha 😂
Buy the Motorcycle you want it's not that deep
those stand are dope
My first two motorcycles were a used Kawasaki and a used Honda. They were like in the 400cc range. That was almost 30 yrs ago. My goal was to eventually get a Harley and the Lord provided. My first Harley was a used sportster (1987?) I bought in the early or mid 90s. Then I got a new 1998 dyna wide glide. After that was a used 2000 ultra classic. Now I have a 2019 street glide special. I remember my (cool) uncle had a goldwing in the 70s/80s. Him telling stories of trips and camping got me thinking. That would be cool to do. I have been doing it and loving it. Looking forward to the next video.
Good advice. I’m not a new rider but will be getting my first HD when I get back from overseas next year, I appreciate all the tips for getting accustomed to the weight of the HD. Keep gliding, thanks for all your videos!
I am a firm believer in buying the bike you want, and then learning how to ride it. Start slow, practice, read and learn what you can. The passion for the bike that you really like will keep you engaged in that process.
As a former Motorcycle safety foundation instructor Agree with most of the things that you have stated About learning your motorcycle
Great video, brother!
My first bike was a 91 GIXXER 750 too.
Can a six foot three inch tall squat!?! Yes, my streetglide pro feel was a TASK to beat when i saw it new! :)/ i then rode a brand a new s g motor bike & boy i was like a king! Great vibes and i like the radio
I started on Royal Enfield Continental GT650 as a beginner and rode it for 2 years getting used too it then realized I needed a cruiser for a more relaxed ride and I’m also a taller rider so I ended up getting a Harley Davidson Electra Glide love that motorcycle I was also overwhelmed with the weight but got used it immediately
I agree on Honda probably makes the best beginner bike, I used the Nighthawk 750 only it was 40 years ago lol, that bike is awesome light and quick, plus you can pick them up cheap too, great video✌️
I’d be interested in the riding in the rain video.
Thanks for being Transparent, with that situation that you encountered. You handled it with grace. But all the people watching, know now to possibly avoid that service center, and they'll have that individual to thank for that.
As long as you keep training and keep it safe, you can have whatever bike you want, but if you think you won’t behave properly with a big engine, is better to start small
Hi tall
So lunch it is!!!!
I think I’m going to go ride me some back road today
I enjoyed all of your video Tall
Feel your aggravation, you my friend have more patience then me. A lesson we all can learn from
i hate the music when playing a dusty trip.but,it`s chiling now :)
That’s really cool they offer that
Who is it you hear that from, Whites or Blacks? Riders or clueless non riders?
Love the new intro! 🔥🔥🔥
Sharp truck! 👍
Thank you
That's crazy that you had a not so pleasant experience at a Harley-Davidson dealer. Customer service is key. Your 2024 bike is nice Tall👍🏿. Can't wait to see the future modifications.
Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
danny and the guys at zippers provide top notch service
Tall, your handling with the tech was great. I think u should contact the owner cuz he might not know how some of his employees act. Who's to say how many people he's already been rude to or how many will he do it to in the future. BTW good video
Dope
comparing your bike to the Indian challenger you had on loan, which had more power via butt dino?
Sound like you ran across one of them...sorry you had to deal with that Tall
I know what you are talking about I had a bad experience at that dealer in Pigeon Forge I’ll never go back luckily I have a dealer right here in Maryville
Sorry to hear about your customer service issue at the Harley dealership in Pidgeon Forge. There's a dealership less than 5 miles from my home and from 2016 until May of this year I wouldn't purchase so much as a t-shirt there due to the poor attitudes of a few employees. In 2015, I intended to purchase a new Road Glide. Everything was fine until I spoke to the rude/condescending Finance Manager. I left the dealership angry and returned to their business the very next day riding a new Ducati just so the finance manager would know that it was his fault someone else got my money. In 2021, I owned a Street Glide for which I wanted to do a big bore kit and buy some accessories. This time I had the bad luck of getting a rude Parts salesperson who wanted to tell me that the accessories I wanted weren't correct for my bike (before he would even let me give him the part numbers which would have shown that the accessories I wanted were correct) and I literally had words with the Service Manager who claimed the engine build I wanted wasn't "necessary". I ended up getting the accessories at another H-D dealership 41 miles away and a Zippers Muscle engine build from an independent shop in the neighboring city who happened to be a Zippers and Hoban Brothers Darkhorse dealer/distributor. I vowed to never go back to my local dealership. I bought a used 2020 Lowrider S from a private party in January of this year and, in April this year, a neighbor who lives a street over from me had just traded in his older Road Glide for a brand new Road King Special at my local H-D dealership. When I told my neighbor about how I had been treated, my neighbor told me that he knew the individuals that I disliked and that they were no longer employed due to retirements and terminations. I went back to my local H-D dealership and the difference was like night and day. On May 29th this year they bumped the 114ci Stage 2 on my Lowrider S up to a 131ci Stage 4 with a Zippers Redshift 552 cam and Thundermax tuner. Thus far, I've been very pleased with the customer service and the work performed. I hope it stays that way. I'm glad you were able to separate that one individual from the corporate entity and not let it cause you any distaste. You're right to note that those employees are the face of the business and all it takes is one bad interaction to anger a customer who will then tell all of his/her friends and acquaintances about the bad experience. My poor customer service and bad attitude experiences cost my local dealership at least three motorcycle sales and 9 years worth of sales/service revenue. Stay positive, stay blessed, and keep being a bright beacon of goodwill in a dark and unkind world. Ride hard, ride fast, ride safe!
