Good morning.
Good morning have a great riding day!
I can't stand it when people come up to us and look at what we have and say, "Must be nice..." This was blood, sweat, and tears at some point. Your retirement isn't handed to you. You earned it, even if it wasn't your choice to retire early. ❤
Thanks, it was really good looking back and seeing all I’ve done, now I’m about full retirement from civilian service.
unc's lunch time goes crazyyyyyyyyyy........ 🥺
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your service 😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you.
Mentone is "The Egg Basket of the Midwest" not the nation. You saw no signs of eggs as you rode by numerous chicken houses.
The road I drove didn’t have as obvious chicken houses as I see any time I drive towards the beach through Delaware. I saw in Indiana corn and soybeans along with some trees. If i missed them I’m sorry, they could have been along another road or set of roads.
i like lunch outside too! any plans for retirement?
Ride when I want and move away from the DC area.
👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Well, Bluelick Rd is how I get to and from 75 every time I head south. You guys got within at least 40 miles of my house. I work around Ft. Wayne and if you were heading into MI from Indiana, I hope you didn't get stuck in the daily stopped traffic. Stay safe
We get stuck just outside of Lansing Mi and took about an hour longer than planned. We made it to Our destination by midnight.
😎👍👍
Thanks!
Nice pictures & video!
Thank you always enjoy the ride and meeting people.
thanks man, I needed that
Your welcome 🤗
Thank's Man! You Too. :D
Your welcome 🤗
That bridge at the beginning is a rock's throw from my house.
That’s great 😃, I’d not taken that route before. Normally we are coming from above heading down but wanted different things.
Great content love your channel. I just recently purchased a 2023 Triglide new and definitely a learning curve compared to being on a two wheel. Have you done an audio update on your stereo and if you have what did you do to it? What was the cost to do your suspensionback when you did it again thank you love your channel
While costs are hard to talk about as there are all sorts of factors involved. Same shop and time frame would help. I did the shocks while they were already deep into the bike for the 50K service all they had to do was install the new instead of the old. As for my sound system it’s stock. I use my headset mostly. I did install the whim but at times I don’t think it’s needed for what I do. Thanks for watching and have a great ride!
How fast were you riding during this video? Exciting!
Highway speed, one part is Timelapse video to make it look better.
I knew it was time lapse but I enjoyed the ride. Can I tell you about a remarkable ride happened way back in 2009. I've got Hoods Canal on my left, going East along South shore to jr hideaway in belfair. An eagle glides up to 3" of my left hand an handlebar. Eagle isn't flapping his wings, just windsurfing off my detachable windshield. I start timing him on my formation handlebar clock. Ten seconds, fifteen, 30 seconds anges still surfing. A full minute goes by an he's still there, another minute, then another minute. Until just under 4 minutes an service truck comes at US. Eagle has to bail or be grill bait. Eagle flies between my windshield an my helmet, brushing top with his right wing. Entire time his mate was flying 1"-2" from his left wing tip. I got to ride with pair eagles until traffic broke us up. Story goes on but this was first encounter. Thunder Press Magazine printed story in Sept an Oct of 09" issues.
@timbarnett3898 that would be awesome to witness. Always love what nature does and is capable of doing.
Were's rest of the eagle story windsurfing off my left handlebar. I was wondering if they knew me? There was an eagle's tree next to driveway of 40acre horse ranch on San Juan Island Washington State I worked. Being around them almost everyday, eagles started eating lunch with me under they're tree. Fred was always on my left side but Wilma hop on my lap bend down rub her beck and face against my face giving me affection. Oh, I named them Fred an Wilma. Oh look Fred, how beautiful Wilma can fly! I wish I could fly! Or look Wilma, Fred flying home, an look, Fred has treats! So, when this pair is windsurfing off my windshield on Hoods Canal, I'm thinking is this Fred? Is this Wilma off his left wing tip? Dept. of wildlife said, this area is well within they're capability! Interesting! Very interesting Watson!
@timbarnett3898 always love how wildlife shows up and makes our lives better.
Yes you have a little flooding 👍
LOL, I know others it much worse but just wow even i avoided riding in the heat of the storm.
If I remember correctly, didn't you have a 2020 TG in River rock grey? And when did you trade it in? I traded my 2020 TG in on 1/6/24 for a 2023 prospect gold TG.
Hay, how’s Vegas? Yes, in 22 when the dealership was using closed. I went to a different location and they made me a deal to trade my bike which was priced right got on the new one and was about the same cost.
@@motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave Yes, Vegas is hotter than a dog leg par 5 at Amarillo! Thanks for your reply. Didn't think anybody remembered.
@wskeyson3382 I remember more than I could remember.. 30K Service Old Glory HD Laurel MD. Then a twist of fate an offer worth trading in my Trike? 4K th-cam.com/video/1yaLnw2ZUXw/w-d-xo.html

Hey Dave, I just came across your channel. I am a recent Triglide owner and love your content. Thank you for your channel. I have subscribed take care.
Thank you, keep watching there is always something happening. New content twice a week Wednesday and Sundays.

Thank you for watching!
What brand helmet is it?
Maywood II 3/4 helmet Part #98158-22VX
@@motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave never heard of that brand.
@Crimepaysaskapolitician sorry the brand is H-D but the model number is there.
Early and late are times when deer are active, we have deer and elk all over near roads here in Wahington State.
We have them as well but they are not as busy this time of year soon they will be something we need to watch for as well.
Hey good music by the way too
Thank you hard finding royalties free music without something attached.
Not a huge fan either of riding in traffic dusk or dawn, but glad you cover it and have good advice for folks. Where I live, I'm more likely to come across a deer than traffic LOL. Ride safe!
I see deer all the time just haven’t got them on film yet. Thank you.
Great advice.
Thank you.
Great video! What kind of audio equipment do you use ton get good sound? And do you.use a full face or modular helmet?
Sony microphone GoPro 8 black on the side of a 3/4 helmet with a swing up shield. I’ll do a video on that so it shows what I’m doing. Great idea thank you!
My uncle R.L.Forrester was apart of Navy Crew helping out with the Bathyscaphe their is a picture of him taking Lt. Don Walsh n Dr. Piccard to the Trieste he also was the ships crane operator also had a hand in the final checklist for the all clear he was asked by Lt. Walsh to be part of their team to Antarctica with Dr. Piccard he was a member twice in the 60s this after the Deep Dive of 6300 Fathoms or 63,366 Ft. 7.16 miles the Latitude 11.19-7N Longitude 142-12.OE my uncle had a wildlife served in three branches of the military then went into the CIA spent 4 years in Asia and the Middle East and came back stateside and retired unfortunately he passed away in 2022 at the age of 84 he had some wild stories he told me later in his life fascinating man. Before he passed away he made a copy of the certificate he received on that mission,I have it hanging on my wall with pride.
That’s great thanks for the service. Always remember our team and their dedication to country and family! Great 😊 things always!
I can tell you this much, if y’all keep pushing this “you must stop for a helmet down” etc. you’re gonna attract the wrong crowd, to start doing it for nefarious reasons. I will stop helmet down or not usually, but some people shouldn’t. Unless you’re absofuckinglutely confident you can defend yourself against an ambush.
Thanks for your take. Not sure about wrong crowd by being helpful but anything can happen. Just the way I try to be comes from being military and such. True there are people who should be extra careful but I hope they know their limitations.
1:19 cool Dave
Wanted to ensure that he was good.👍
Where can I get one that will fit my 2024 Tri Glide
Supposed to fit it now. I’ve upgraded my seat so that one is for sale passively. You can go to a dealer and they have them as well.
If you can’t speed should we listen or take advice
Interesting yes let’s get top speeds that’s a next video idea? Thank you for the input.
My bike has a speedo, odometer, and idiot lights for oil and water. Dont really need nor want more than that. My phone does GPS on a ram mount I guess
My old bike had that, great addition thank you.
I've got 3-4 hundred K miles (not sure; I can document at least 300K and have many undocumented), and one thing I've never enjoyed is distractions while riding... Although I use GPS on car and boat, I've never had it on a bike and used to ride 1000-1200 miles per 24hr, when out... one of the most enjoyable bikes I had (Norton 750), had a non-op tach and a semi-accurate speedo -- I think it may have had an ammeter now that I think about it -- no turn-signals, no fenders front or rear -- beer-can baffles (you get the idea -- sparse) and that bike took me from Washington state to Florida... all over the mid-US and down into Texas several times, snows of the Dakotas... even though I ride somewhat more modern bikes now (am past my mid-70s -- now have ZG1400 and a Softail), I find I ignore most of the digital techno-gadgetry 99% of the time and just listen to the bike, watch the road and I've been quite content with that for years... but good friends ride the same roads and are wired (blue-toothed) for sound, so what do I know
Thanks for sharing, that’s a really great amount of miles. Cool points. While I’m always remembering the old style like my older bikes I do love my media. I’ve been happy with minimal data and more. I think I need to make N update on this video. Showing how older bikes and some current models have minor input or output and others have more than most will ever use. Again thank you and have a great day.
😎👍🇺🇸
Thanks.😊
I use the Liquid IV packets to put in water so I stay hydrated while riding. 👍
That’s a good idea.
What year and model is your bike
2022 Tri Glide, Ultra. Not the CVO or the RG3 much less the Freewheeler.
I hate when my bike is in the shop. Feels like something is missing
So true, like many things out of place.
Smoke... That was a bunch of smoke! I came for 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Sorry it was out to quickly
😂😂
Chill vibes in telling your life journey, Ride On and Ride Safe my dude
Thanks, trying to have fun and help others.
I ended up going from smaller sportier bikes to a bagger in a lot of ways because I wanted the wife to come along more. She's come a long way in terms of "road legs" over the past year or so. We've got our camping/hoteling pack out pretty dialed at this point. Cheers!!
When alone I pack light and make it great, with her we always take to much.
@@motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave Haha definitely had that struggle out of the gate. We basically give ourselves one packing cube + one TSA toiletry bag for personal effects if it's less than 5 days now. Depends on the weather, but if we don't need to pack rain gear, there's some room for a hoodie, long johns, etc. available.
@Chasing.Adventure always bring rain gear, we are traveling to Michigan from DC. I think I have a fix. She now has a bag half the lower trunk and the strap on top bag the tour pack is for work stuff and digital stuff have to film and work is always there.
Sold my truck so my Spyder is the only transportation I have (wife still has her car). Been super busy but I also really miss when I can't ride for a while. I like riding alone, for a stress reducer. But I also like riding with the wife! She doesn't like riding as far as I do so I may have to consider a trailer for longer trips.
Trailers are a good call, fixing a few issues quickly.
Love riding with the Mrs. We travel as much as life lets us. I'm with you about stress reliever. Great video.
Thanks for watching and sharing. We always try to make it an adventure. Have a great day.

I personally choose a complete set of ((Suspension Technologies)) Shocks . American made , specifically designed with the Tri-Glide, RG-3 or freewheeler in mind. Not saying anything negative about Legend , just suggesting you do a little research and compare the two manufactures . My clear choice was Suspension Technologies .
