    Part 40
    I am trying really hard to find a front rim for my Harley Davidson Road King, calling all the dealers, no one has anything in stock and it could be months before I get a new rim for my motorbike. Why does Harley Davidson have a Global shortage of parts at the moment ?

    The entire world is suffering from the same parts shortage, it's not just Harley, it's every major corporation that decided to outsource to Asia. Now we are stuck having to wait after plants that have not been able to keep up with the demand, logistics in shipping ports operating with half the staff, and a massive backlog of customs clearances to get all this stuff in. It is not Harley's fault, it is how we made this world.

    • @gingebrien2408

      It’s the fault of Biden administration and the Communist Democrats with the assistance of the Republican Rhino party. Every pillar of American society has been corrupted and destroyed. Let’s note myself included in the silent majority, has remained sheeple. Who would have believed that a plandemic could get American’s to stay home from their businesses snd wear masks. Mr Science ( sarcasm for those that need everything explained) aka Don Fauci should be arrested and tried for treason and crimes against humanity by a military tribunal. Silence is consent. Democratic policies including bullshite climate change has effectively made the Partially owned California ports back logged. Ships can’t unload and are slowed through customs. Do to the taxation, cost of fuel, multiple laws like AB5 and limits on age of trucks allowed to travel on California highways, all have contributed & made California unfriendly to truckers. All Democratic policies are destroying America.

    Hello friends, I know you have to invent a lot of drama to attract more public, but please do not exaggerate, here in Mexico we have many HD agencies with many parts In case there was no spare part, it is due to the global shortage due to covid, Mexico is much safer than they try to appear, and you exaggerate looking for horrible locations To pretend that we are very very poor here when we are not, do not exaggerate, I remind you that Australia is the number 12 economy in the world and Mexico is number 15 so we are not so different, as a motorcyclist I have time following them and I like their videos, I have been on vacation in Australia and I love your country, I would never lie about your beautiful country in which I made great friends, greetings to all and welcome to Mexico

    I had this same problem back in Novmber last year. All the HD dealerships in the MO area did not have a stock replacement available. Only dealership here was willing to get me an aftermarket rim in a weeks time. every other dealerships would not even give time of day. Props to Rawhide in Olathe, KS. They came picked my bike up and replaced the rim and tire all inside of a week where all the other dealer would do nothing and said to soonest a wheel would be available would be May - June time frame. It is great these folks from GearsGadgets stepped up and helped out!

    My Friend, I have been to Australia and found the people there to be wonderfully special, caring and helpful like no other place I have been. It was so sad for me to see how the Australian people were treated by their government during the "lock down" . The American Constitution protects the right to "bear arms" not only for self protection but mainly to keep our government from becoming tyrannical facists, like so many other places where the people have no way to defend against it. Keep the ride going my friend, thank you for taking us along with you so we can also see so many places in the world we may never get the chance to see otherwise. May God bless you my friend and brother.

      Something else You may not realize is our own government agencies are behind many of the mass shootings in America attempting to sway people against G_ns so they can disarm the people as Mao, Hitler, and so many others did before enslaving the population. We are living in a sick world today. Do you think the Australian government would have been so harsh on the people if the population was still armed?? Something to think about. I know you don't get political in your vlogs but I hope you understand there are powers that intend to enslave the world, As long as America is armed it will stand in the way. look into the "world economic forum" to understand why the world has become such a sick place.

    “Why do you have guns?”
    for the same reason I have motorcycles. They’re fun and as a free man I have the right to as long as I’m not using it to commit a crime. It’s called “responsibility.”
    I get it, you’re used to living in a nanny state where the government gives you privileges based on your compliance but here we don’t ask the government for permission to defend ourselves. Or to walk out our front door to get a coffee or travel. We do have a problem though and it’s a pretty big one, but it’s not a gun problem.

      Well, after the Mass shooting in Port Arthur our Aus gov did actually do something to protect us and changed the guns laws and guess what, things changed! You can feel as free as you want but if you are all so scared and feel the need to arm yourselves even though your only civilians and there no war going on then I’d say your living in a bit of a backward situation. No offence meant. Just saying. You think we’re a nanny state and your free, but your guns are the very reason your scared and feel the need to have guns for defence. A bit ironic. I can honestly say I’m not scared one little bit here. If someone wants to kill me they are going to have to get pretty personal about it and hands on. It’s not as easy and far less likely. Trying going on a killing spree with a knife. You won’t get as far that’s for sure.

    You were lucky Danny! In 2011 I was riding from Vancouver to Moab. As the trip progressed I noticed a "looseness" in the ride and by the time we arrived in Salt Lake City my '06 Road King was not riding properly. Ultimately about 100km past Provo I finally stopped and took off the saddlebags and noticed 4 spokes were broken. I returned to Provo slowly where they tightened the spokes because they didn't have a replacement. I had to carefully ride to Kingman Arizona for a replacement wheel - that was the closest dealership with parts. S, I feel your frustration.

      Just had the same issue. Kept taking to the shop, I was told it was a normal thing. Not on my bike.

    I waited 6 moths for parts for my Nissan 300zx, and 2 months for parts for my Kawasaki Vulcan. Welcome to Covid supply chain issues. This is where HD shines, the indie shops.

    There’s always a “cheaper place”, a “closer shop” or other recommendations, but this was a great fit for the circumstances. Looking forward to the next chapter. Off to El Paso, then on to Cheecheewahwah.

    One problem not with just the bike industry but any, is that parts or stock on shelves are seen as dead money as they are not making any income becasuse it could be months before the part is sold. Whereas an extended wait list for a part means they can have your money for weeks/months earning intereset ,then ask for it to be made and shipped at their factory ( be it the US /Asia or where ever).
