One of the greatest mysteries of the internet to me is why you don’t have more subscribers. As a life long bike rider and camper I find it some of the most enjoyable to follow. Let’s hope folks wake up!
Damn that 75th anniversary flh electraglide ❤
Dang Joe!!! It may have been a blessing that your bike was broken. All that weather was so bad for so many. Stay safe out there
Right?!
Joe this is a awesome video thanks for sharing again hopefully you can get the part you need for your bike be safe brother
No problem Art! Working on it as we speak
Helene was a monster. People will be dealing with effects in that area for a long time. You put in some long days for sure. Business’s are absorbing more costs to keep retail prices reasonable but the dam is about to break. Good video Joe. Ride safe.
Yeah man. It wiped out a lot of Western Nc, East Tn, Sc, Georgia and of course Fla. Thanks
Good video
Excellent video Joe. I empathize with those that experienced hurricane Helene as I experienced hurricane Milton. See you at Daytona Biketoberfest.
Thanks dude! See ya there
I was wondering how you were making out with all the rain .another great video...thanks for all your work...i may have to get some hand guards...😊
Yeah man! ✌️
Hope to see ya at Daytona. Will be a Dewey's again.
Awesome dude! We set up at Destination on the JP lot. Still haven’t had a chance to check out Dewey’s World
Since 2020 I’ve been rocking your hand guards since before they were cool I can’t tell you how many people ask about them on both my Harley’s every where i go and you installed them both.
Thanks dude! ✌️
How your bikes holding up?
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond They have been perfect.I don’t ride my older one much I need to but I have rode the newer one as much as I can and it’s been flawless at 30k
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Twisted Life has been camping 🏕️ on my hill the last two weeks
Awesome dude!
Those hand guards have been a red hot item! Looks like they had a great rally after all. Class act at the end, awesome gesture.
Thanks man! Could've been better. Attendance was down about half from last year, I heard. But wasn't too terrible.
Hi Joe, it was nice meeting you at the rally. Looks like you had an interesting week.
Thanks for coming by dude!
Looks like you were a trooper.
Another day (or 11) at the office...
Another good video Joe take care brother
Thanks, will do!
Lucky, good deeds for the business. Good vid.
Thanks dude
Nice rally video; glad the rain ended. Those tropical weather fronts are nothing that anyone needs. Hope the Honda gets fixed soon. Big thumbs up.
Thanks so much! Working on it! 😅
Great stuff Joe!!!
Thanks! 😊
Great video Joe, it was good to see you again. I’m amazed you’re able to setup & tear down all by yourself but you’ve had a lot of practice. I won’t be in Daytona this month, heading to Utah instead. Hope that chain tensioner part arrived. Will catch you when come back from South East Asia😁🏍💨🤙
Thanks for coming by and being part of the video dude! Enjoy that Pan Am, and we'll see you then! ✌️
love ur vids - pro tip - Red Cross crooked AF - maybe one day they'll be held accountable - appreciate the sentiment though. Keep em coming.
Looks like a successful rally. Glad to hear you were spared the really bad stuff. Ashville is like a post apocalypse area. Be safe. Looking forward to SE Asia videos.
Thanks dude! When you coming? lol
Nice video! When do you head to Daytona?
Thanks dude! Heading there on Monday (via plane, courtesy of the company)
Nice video
Thanks dude! ✌️
Hey Joe,
I’m originally from the Blacksburg area currently living on the central Oregon coast. I was wondering if you knew a guy named Frank Clark that lived out in Giles County near Newport?
We are still coming to Biketoberfest. Stay safe with Miltons aftermath.
Cool dude!
@11:11 at this point... the MotorCo. just needs to sponsor the guy and pay him for R&D/data generation
Absolutely! 💯 most of the Pan Ams you see are all meticulously clean lol. He’s actually riding it 😂
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond he's stress testing it 😆
Hey Joe do you make them hand guards to fit a goldwing ?
We don’t man
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond that’s not fair lol I talked to you last year at sturgis and you and the boss man said you don’t pretty much have anything for Goldwings but I thought I would ask… cheers
I'll pass that up the chain of command
That's a lot of work for just one person. But more and more companies, including mine are wanting people to do more work for no more money; it's just greed. Hope they're paying you more.
I got no complains, man. The company's been good to me. Any extra people would've gotten in the way.
Hey Joe any luck on a new cam tensioner for your bike? That sucks it keeps failing in your
Gonna get it installed this week. Yes it does lol
I believe there is other issues causing those cam chain tensioner to keep failing. Cam chain and or sprocket worn out causing to much slop in chain beating the cam tensioners apart. That's my 2 cents
I think I might've figured something out... Stay tuned!
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond can’t wait to see what you’ve found out!
Yep, that’s one time. I bet you were glad you were in a car, if I were you and you were going to get an adventure bike the panda America would not be my first choice. If I were you, I would go with an Africa twin you get the Honda durability, and you can find them with hardly any miles fairly cheap, but if you want to spend some money and not have to worry, always go with the BMW GS, but those are big money, or I would look at the Yamaha Tenery, those are also bulletproof and low maintenance which might come in handy for being on the road and they’re supposed to be very, very comfortable
Yeah man. Still kind of attached to the current bike, but you never know. Folks seem to really the Super T, and they seem to be going for less $ than the AT.
HA! I just noticed my good Buddy, Michael Bodine in your Patreon list..love that guy. I sent you Honda repair $ via paypal last week..did you get it? See ya out there in 2025🍻
Cheers man! I did receive it. I believe your name was listed in the credits a couple videos back. If not please let know. He’s a serious rider for sure! And thanks! ✌️😎
You Worked it Alone ?
Yeah man- it really wasn't bad.
Those who watched the conferences organized by the volunteers of the Creative Society were not surprised, and they warned all people about such climate disasters. The worst is yet to come. People, get informed and talk about it. There is nothing more valuable than human life.
Bad storms been happening forever man
Is Honda redesigning the parts you're wanting for?
I hope so man. I can't get any info outta the Honda people
Do it! Get the pan America
👍
Three fuel pumps in 54k miles? I'd pass on that bike.
It’s odd, especially for a newer bike
Hey Bro, ain't you and Scotty got a friend with a bike shop in Ashville?
Yeah, in Swannanoa. They got hit hard.
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond DANG MAN
Being only 5'11 the Pan América sits too high for me I would be tippy toeing it at every stop. I say stay away from that outrageous sticker price HD is famous for....even though they got me in 2015 for a 2014 ultra ! lol
I'm 5'7" and have no problems riding my Pan America. Fear is the only thing holding you back.
Smoky Mountain Harley man. They had a bunch of 23s in the showroom, asking 13.9k. Not too bad
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond That is reasonable, For some reason I was thinking 20's. Maybe that was the price l saw over at Destination Daytona.
Why is your bike tearing up the tensioners
Not sure, maybe its a bad design, a defective batch, stretched cam chain..... who knows.
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Ok.
Hey Joe, still loving your videos but I would definitely recommend people doing some research on the Red Cross, otherwise known as the crooked cross. Not a good organization IMO
CHEERS
Please elaborate. It doesn’t surprise me at all given the crooked nature of about 95% of so called charities
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Hey Joe I have no first hand knowledge of this; it's alleged that most of the contribution money is spent on the "management" of the charity which to me means that the fat cats at the top of the food chain get fatter while the folks that need the help get very little of the actual donations. If it's my money I'd spend it with a better organization like Samaritans Purse or something like that...YMMV, Cheers!
I hear ya. Unfortunately that's the way it is a lot of times. Human greed.
I recommend the Pan America. It's a fantastic bike. I'm on my second one and use it as my primary transportation for my piano tuning business (weather permitting). It is one of the best motorcycle's I have owned. My'22 was a lemon, literally. The '23 on the other hand has been outstanding. DO NOT by a used bike. You will be purchasing someone else's headache. Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to talk about the Pan America
Awesome man. Thanks!
The Honda transalp 750 is half the price
@@ridered7394 and half the fun..lol..
Wasn't too impressed with the Transalp, but I'm hearing great things about the T7
Tenere 1200 no issue
👍
Get a Pan!
you'd hit 100k subscribers in 6 months with a panam
👍
Get used goldwing
💯
Be kinda tough taking in the woods
They should pass a national law that allows only bikers to bring in aid. One motorcycle at a time.
