- I finally rode the Harley Davidson Road Glide Special! You keep asking my what I want my next bike to be and I keep saying the Road Glide Special, but I needed to experience it for myself! This is my VERY first time test riding a 2020 Road Glide Special up at Farrow Harley Davidson. I can't believe how quickly I fell in love with this big bike! What do you think? SHOULD I BUY IT?

HEY Thanks for checking out my new video! as I mention in the beginning, this is not intended as a "review" video. This is just my very first experiencing test riding the Road Glide Special! Let me know what you think! Idk if my opinion on the bike was very clear in the video ;)
Obviously everyone's personal taste and aesthetics are subjective.
Looks good on you!!!! Just do it..
You should talk Rick into letting you do a Ride to Sturgis with one.
You made a bad decision. Lol test riding. It will haunt you. The bags are running in your veins.
Hey Jess, get some Legend Revo A shocks on the back of your Dyna. It'll cost you about $1800.00 for them, but that will super improve you ride ( Maybe Legend Will give you a deal if they understand that you're an "Influencer"', you could sport their stickers on your bike and give 'em some love on you channel). Your Dyna Girl is perfect for the type of riding that you're doing on your channel, meaning around town with some long trips once in a while. I have a Road King and I find myself wishing I had a Dyna or a Softail for riding around town. You know, cuz those bikes are 200 lbs lighter than mine. My Son has an FXR and he is always complaining when he rides my bike, that wrestling that big O' Hog around town is not so fun. Maybe try an Indian touring bike next?
Her Two Wheels You like it, and it fits your budget, why not. I have a 2019 Limited and the power and ride is fantastic. My wife and I put 8400 miles on it last year.
"Is that what it feels like to have power?" said no HD rider ever lol
@@godackgudalach1 no they really aren’t. But at the same time they aren’t made for speed or for horsepower.
I had a k1600gt with 160hp and my 19 heritage classic with the 107 feels great.
Ha...my thoughts exactly. The my big Kaw V2K would send it home crying. That bike is disturbingly quick.
Yup I had to rewind to see what I thought “THATS WHAT SHE SAID!”
I just love you! ☺️ I'm a 54 y.o. woman who is getting ready to start her new adventure... I love how inspiring you are! Great videos!!
After listening to a dozen old men doing reviews of whatever they are riding, you are a breath of fresh air.
Why we gotta be old men breh
I had about 30 bikes in my life, I finally bought a big BMW k1600 to ride with my Harley friends, (this is the best bike I ever owned,) it handle’s like a champ. And last week I swap my 2014 K1600 with a 2018 Road Glide with one of them, now I am really sure I don’t want a Harley ever,
You have a very refreshing narrative that many will like and appreciate. Your videos will help many female and beginner riders. Also, love the the free spirited, adventurous, independent and carefree persona you have. You seem to love not just riding , but life and nature as well. Great attitude, keep up the good play. “Butter my biscuit”, good entertainment value, very cheeky... hehe
My wife test road her 2019 Road Glide she left with it that day. She still loves it, even after making that payment every month.
Not sure about her, but I know I needed a cigarette with all that "bedroom talk" LOL
I won’t lie. I don’t ride, haven’t in years and years. I’m not even sure why I am here..but you made me so excited to figure it out. Haha your enthusiasm is contagious! New subscriber!
Great reaction to the bike. I'm an Aussie and some of the American slang you use had me rolling with laughter, that was brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
It’s great to hear the joy in your voice. Only those of us who have experienced the thrill of a bike understand. Get it!!
Just paid off my 2015 street glide special. I did everything to her to make it mine. I just turned 30,00 miles on her and still rides like new. Denim black. I’m 71yrs. And still riding her like I was 21. That bike keeps me from feeling old. Two wheels up girl. I enjoy watching your videos thanks Cliff
Thanks for sharing your play by play on the test ride Jess. It is a great looking bike, especially for long treks.
I did the same I needed to be in a better financial place It took a while but I got there! I upgraded from a heritage Softail classic... The RGS was the 🦄 I have been chasing for years and I finally got one!
Good luck on your quest to owning your dream bike... Stay discipline and you'll get there a lot faster than I did...
Hey Jess, I don’t know how I got subscribed to your channel, but am glad I did. With being an older person (63) I was intrigued to know what a chick would think about riding a bike, any bike. I enjoyed your commentary as I could never imagine a guy saying some of those things lol. Keep up the good work and thanks from Down Under😎😎
Just this year my wife went from a Breakout to the RG special and she loves it. The cruise control and the infotainment are two of the favorites,needless to say the power is big. She is getting used to the weight at crawling speeds once she gets moving it’s as good a handling bike as any she loves her new RGS and I love to see her on it.👏👏
I just saw your Challenger video and I'm sorry to say but, you ARE a Harley girl!!!! You sound happy in this video, having the time of your life. Riding the Challenger was more of a chore for you. And answering your question, yes, I think you should but only if you truly love it. Great video, keep posting and be safe out there, sister!
I’m a woman 5.5 been riding one for 2 yrs in 🇳🇿 New Zealand, and this bike is sweet on curves and switchbacks, you get used to air intake hitting yr knee, and the bags!!! OMG. Get one!!! No regrets
I watched you on the Challenger. Then came hear. You are MUCH happier on the Road Glide.😁
Was watching your review at work with ear buds in and at 6:20 you said "butter my biscuit" and i broke out laughing... I couldn't agree more when you stated your are trying to remain debt free. Makes riding a whole lot nicer...Was great listening...
I rode a Dyna Superglide for 10 years and just this summer I upgraded and bought the 2020 Street Glide Special - Scorched Orange! I wish I would have done it sooner because I am so in love!! Just discovered your channel, subscribed. Ride safe!
" A couple of bad decisions I'm trying to clear up still"...story of my life and the exact reason I won't test ride one until then lol sad but true. Seeing people test ride those bikes makes wind in the chest, hands that tingle for a half hour after a SHORT road trip and a soar ass seem overrated. Great video, now I'm going to reassure myself that my 02 Night Train is nice and fluffy haha.
Thanks for having us along for the ride. Be well and God bless.
Hi Jess, thanks for all these road glide reviews, I mentioned on other posts of yours this week, really helped me make my plunge into 2016 Road Glide! Psyched. Will see if I can do one of those 1000 mile things haha. Happy Easter from Buffalo NY!
The road glide is a beast! What a perfect bike to eat up those long distance miles 👌😎
I own a 2019 Road Glide Special and I love it, but that said, I would love to see you test ride a 2020 Indian Challenger and hear what you think compared to the Road Glide! It was great seeing you so excited about the Road Glide.
hi Jess! thank you for making this video. road glide is probably in my 5 favourites. your videos give me so much ispiration even tough i'm only 15. keep making videos like this! i LOVE them!!!
I've got over 30K on my 2019 RGS!!! First Harley...I stalked the Roadglide for 5yrs....first rode the Rushmore Edition at a Rapid City SD HD Demo....mine has 14" Factory 47 Apes, very confident and comfortable stance! Keep the amazing posts coming!
Yep, those hydraulic clutches on the new bikes are tuff unless you have primate hands. You got this!!! Enjoy!
In the words of Adam Sandoval “Get The Damn Bike”. Great vlog and I hope you get your dream bike one day.
Roadglides are the best. Ride like a dream. I love my 2015. So many custom upgrades available from numerous sources so you can make your Glide look like no other. 😎👍
I just jumped from a Softail Slim to a StreetGlide Special and boy oh boy am I’m loving it. You are spot on..that clutch is no joke.
Hey, I've never driven a bagger, but girl, this one a just gorgeous. Forget having every bike in black. Break from the expected and for the eye-popping metallic blue. I had a car that color and loved it.
I just bought an 02 Dyna wide glide CVO in blue and sliver. I wouldn't want a black bike tbh.
@@timbutler3213 Blue and silver is a killer combo.
My wife said if you asked for a cigarette when the ride is over she’s gonna die laughing 😂
Lol!
LOL, the same sort of thoughts crossed my mind.
LOL well played!!
Michael Bowie 😂😂😂😂
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it!
Beautiful bike. I really hope you get one. You deserve it. Your channel deserves seeing you on that big beast. I hope you get yourself one.
There are seven days in a week, and none of them are "someday".....buy the bike and enjoy. Live life with no regrets! Love the content.
Have the Road Glide Ultra myself. 2019. Love it. Great bike out of the box.
Right . Love mine to . People thank it big bulky big . But it does not feel that way. I'm looking to get me tour pack to trun mine into Ultra
@@TheBlueBikeDoyle how ya like that color!!
It is one of the best bikes in its class for sure
Buy it and buy that blue
Sucks though..all that money and You still get the Cha Chunk between gears. Well Loud pipes cover flaws😆
That's a stunning colour.... at 3:14 - "when Harry met Sally"
And finaly:"I want to get the same, as this woman got."
Had to go back and listen again, yes Sir you are correct. LOL
That blue is so sick! Harley has the best colors.
@@sunnymas2656 The line is, "I'll have what she's having."
@@sunnymas2656 you misspelled color.
Love it…Love it….Love it……”Is that what power feels like?” That’s exactly the same thing that I said when I first rode a Road Glide. I took a 2021 out for a test and I just had to take it home. WOW!!! I’m still saying Wow!!! I absolutely love my 2021 Road Glide Special. Your video had me laughing so hard because it was as if you were doing an impersonation of me. I said exactly everything that you said with the same degree of excitement if not more. I could barely contain myself when it came time to talk to the salesman when I bought the bike back from the test ride. Let’s just say I know exactly how you feel.
Wow, I love it!
WOAHHH IS THAT WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE POWER? Dude I love your excitement 😂
Jerry the motorman recommends replacing the clutch lever with one made by softbrake. I have one on order but I recommend visiting the motorman's video for details.
Nothing like the roadglide wouldn’t trade mine for anything got a 2019 myself
Hi there. TH-cam algorithm brought me to your channel and I am really glad it did. I have been binge watching your videos, well almost (daily life gets in the way). I've watched all of your videos in a period of about 3 days. I love your content and I really like your fun and humble personality. It's really entertaining to watch. Also noticed that your subscriber count has gone up from, I think it was around 27 k when I started watching, to over 33 k in just three days! That definitely tells that you are doing things right! Looking forward to your upcoming videos! Greetings all the way from Sweden.
Thank you for your subscription and the kind words!
I have a 2019 Electra Glide Limited, wanted this bike for 20 years finally got it on July 4, 2020... Mine is the Police Tribute bike, Black with a Thin blue line accent.... I love it!!! and when you know you know.... Go ahead girl get that bike and enjoy!!!!
I literally laughed out loud when you said 'butter my biscuit'...not people are looking at me...thanks
Me too
Does she know what that means I wonder? - probably... 😂
Im 26 with a 2019 streetbob and already wanting an “old man bike” because i love the road glide haha
Made the switch to 2 years ago to an old man bike 😂, street glide and haven’t looked back.
First Harley I road was my 2020 RG Special. I love it. I had to crank the preload on the back shock up a lot to get the back end not to be so hard over bumps. I’ll want to upgrade rear shocks. The handling is really quite good. I think everybody should own one.
Life is short. Death is long. GET IT!!! I've had my 2019 RGS since September. NO regrets!
"Busted can of biscuits " 😂🤣😂😄
That intake is a HD SE upgrade. Get the Stage 1 in the stock air cleaner. I ride a 2019 RGS. Love it. Get the RGS!
The Road Glide Limited/Ultra is what I keep looking at every time I hit a dealer. I love them. That color is beautiful.
I rode a Dyna Wide Glide for about 10 years, then I found myself bumping into a love for the Road Glide and bought one. I still love a ride on me Wide Glide but the Road Glide is my traveler now. I’m on my second one and I have it stoked up with a cam and some other cool weather fighter stuff. I am happy as all get out that I finally made it to the Road Glide. It changes a person’s biker world. It gets a lot bigger.
Yes yes yes....I love the RG, But!!! To sound cliche’ish I like the wind in my face and on me when I roll
Around. RG’s make me feel like I’m in a car. Try the road king, same bike no fairing endless options of fairings, and of course a seat that takes you closer to the controls. Kuyriakyn sells spacers for the floor boards That moves them out about 1” and helps that bow legged ness feel go away.
Better if you ride on highway or back roads where you stay moving pretty quick.
Sure is a pretty bike, and looks like a great ride. For me, I'd be happier with the Dyna though. I like the openness.
That's one of the big reasons why I like the Road Glide over the Street Glide... way more open feeling on a Road Glide because the faring is a lot further away from you.
I ride a Dyna and rented a Street Glide Tour. I liked the Street Glide for the first 30 minutes of an 8 hour ride. Then I realized that the floor boards are too high, handle bars are too low and you are locked into one position. I couldn't wait to get off of it. I have ridden my Dyna across the country a few times. Definitely rent one for a day before you decide.
Yes I ride a FXDWG
I am 73 have an FXDR , 2019 here in the Philippines, love it enjoy your ride, take care on your trip.
Hey girl thank you for all wonderful videos! Specially this one! I never had before a Harley-Davidson, I ride metrics bikes all my life but I really want to try Harley and this bike is one of my options or a street bob, good job I’ll keep watching your videos.
I didn’t know what power in a cruiser was until I test rode a Triumph Rocket III. Now I own a 2017! 😁
HD riders (I have two) don't get it LOL. I traded my Road Glide in for a BMW K1600B. My God man . . . performance and power, refinement, and just a joy to ride.
Neo Smith yeah, those are sweet bikes!
I have switched back and forth between Touring and Softail. I always go back to the Softail/Dyna. Even if I handle it great on the road, slow manuevering is a pickle and takes alot more energy. I am 5'3" and just sold my Road Glide Special for a new Sport Glide and love it. My 10th Harley since 1995. I dont have to worry about backing out or up in angles or gravel etc. Going camping by myself on a Road Glide would be hard to manage.
Ride Safe!
Sport Glide has all you need. Touring capability. Power to weight. Superb ergonomics and handling. This model gets overlooked a-lot. All it took was 1 test ride for me. Good-bye Street Glide Special. Hello Sport Glide. My favorite Harley to date. Take care.
I also went to a Sport Glide.....sold my Dyna Low Rider S for it and the SG is a much better motorcycle
Just knocked out 1200 on my 2019 Heritage over the weekend, plenty comfortable and lest work around town, and I can strip it to a boulevard cruiser in about 20 minutes.
10th since 05, do they not last or what! Just ribbing you, think Indian is moving past Harley, they need a BIG revamp
2019 Sport Glide here. I love long rides and my Sport Glide never lets me down.
Hi Jess. When you were talking about being surprised about people talking about cruising at 110 mph I had to smile. I have to go fast when I ride. If I manage to keep it under 90 on a ride I feel like I'm being safe. I have had my Yamaha Vmax at 150 mph many many times. In 2019 I rode it for a good few miles at 150 mph one handed. Love to go fast!
I fell in love with the Road Glide when I sold bikes at Goe Harley in '15. Two ol years ago I had mechanical issues with my 11 Fat Bob with a stage one pkg. I fell hard for a 13 Road Glide Ultra. Couldn't swing the notes. Bought an 18 Roadking new. Great bike. I didnt compromise at all. Rides like butter compared to the o'l Fat Bob
12" mini apes, there is a fix for the clutch, screens for the vents and a taller windshield for cold/rain rides and your set. Welcome to the road glide nation. 😁
WHAT IS THE FIX FOR THE CLUTCH?
zam aftermarket clutch slave cylinder.
@@kevinmcdermott8033 the slave cylinder is gonna be an offensive term to someone in 2020 🤣🤣
shenaniganz krew 22 🤦🏼♂️😂🤣
Art Vandelay If you want something bad enough you’ll work and save for it. Took me long time to afford one..
I love my 2019 Road Glide! I've had 2 open air bikes and a Street Glide. The Road Glide beats them hands down! The air cleaner IS after market. It's a stage 1. That's why it's in your way. It sticks out about an inch further than the stock one. I had the same problem with my clutch for about the first day. It's hydraulic and after about 50 miles it'll loosen up and feel easier to squeeze than your Dyna.
Yeah, I recall the Iron 883 Jumpstart "test ride" I had. They warned me that Harley clutches are pretty stiff and hard to find neutral etc when they are new. Personally I had no problem finding neutral and found it to be very precise and not "sloppy", but I am also a total newbie that is currently only licensed for 3 wheels automatic.
The Road King (Special) and Road Glide (Special) are my favorite bikes. Never road one, but I love the spirit of those bikes. They have the edge to them and simplisticness of them. The price is just tough.
I ride the HD FLHTK ELECTRA GLIDE. I bought it for my retirement gift at 38 years of military service. I love it.
Just bought my first motorcycle in April and it is a 2020 road glide special in eagle eye paint. I absolutely love it. Wish I had gotten something a little smaller to learn on. But I love it.
I know how you feel. My first bike was a 2007 Big Dog Mastiff. A big beautiful 1700 cc unforgiving monster with a steep learning curve. I spent at lot of time in an empty parking lot learning how to handle her. Now, I'm on a 2015 Road Glide Special and love it. Those long distance cross country trips are what a big cruiser was made for.
Edgar Machado oh no. I wasn’t that smart. I bought it had it trailered to my house because I didn’t know how to ride, load, strap, unload one. Sat on it about 10 minutes figuring out what all the buttons did and spent like an hour in a parking lot learning how to move it and then took a 200 mile trip to work on it. My only mode of transportation for an entire week. So it was learn how to ride it or don’t go to work. 😂
@@zacharygraves9364 I dropped my brand new $30,000 bike the same day they trailered it to my house. Thankfully the bike was completely unharmed. I took a rider safety course through American Honda and trained on a tiny Honda Shadow. Totally unprepared for riding that monster.
Edgar Machado first time I tried to move it I stalled and tipped mine. But it scuffed on of the bags a little bit. No big deal. But I have been enjoying it
@@zacharygraves9364 I can relate. Ride safe.
When you were leaving saying goodbye to her you reminded me of Garth in Wayne's World, "she will be mine, oh yes she will be mine!"
I had a 1984 Road Glide which took me coast to coast 3-4 times. Since, I've had a number of Batwings. Now I have a 2016 Road Glide Ultra. You nailed it when you mentioned the buffeting (absence). Thats the big huge difference right there. No other bike like it for the long haul. Change the boards, bars and seat (custom to you) and it will be perfect. Only challenge is slow gravel roads and tight quarters. On the flip side... It's hard to beat a Dyna for the solo getaway feeling.
One of my brothers owns a 114 Road Glide and the first thing he did was buy new pipes and you can hear his bike coming up the mountain from San Bernardino to Lake Arrowhead. You cannot hear yourself think but man, what an awesome sound! I see a new Road Glide in your near future!
What a gorgeous bike! I picked up my first bike ever yesterday, a Harley and I have it sitting inside my house 😂 My partner thinks I’ve lost the plot but I don’t want it outside. It’s my new baby man geeze 😂 💖💖 Next... get my license Lol.
You have NOT lost the plot! Lol!! 😂 In fact I can guess that you're not the only one that does that! When I got my FIRST bike a brand new '86 Honda 450, I to wanted to bring my bike in, (it was winter) but I was vetoed! 😥 😂😂
I got my first Harley in May and hadn't road since 2004 , I did get my permit after riding 3 weeks without it lol
Great 4 u... I just got a new well new to me softail a few hr ago myself. God i have missed it..
Go for it! I have a 1994 Road King and also bought a 2019 Street Glide Special. The Road Glide Special is a great bike. You will love it.
Such a funny video i was smiling all the way through it
Just do it young lady
your excitement is contagious you won't regret buying one + i love that colour
Ride Safe
My “Grandma Glide” 😆 That shade of blue is crazy AMAZING
Thanks for the ride... I miss my bike, so this is about as good as it gets for now...
I have a 2019 Road Glide Ultra and it is great. Buy it
Yeaaaah, riding other bikes is always a big mistake! Bc then you know what you’re missing out on, which you can hear that realization in your voice as soon as you got on throttle 😂
“Pretty bare bones,” on a ‘full size huge fairing GPS, stereo, cruise control, 114ci havin’ bagger?! Bruh, lol
Bwahaha! I meant it didn't have a ton of aftermarket 'accessories' I'm used to seeing on other RGS lol. (I really just wanted to put my feet up on some crotch airing pegs and look as ridiculous as possible for a minute. But it didn't have any haha!)
I better test ride only, when I have the money to buy it.
It´s also because fairness to the dealer. He wants to sell bikes.
@@HerTwoWheels That's funny. I own a CVO and that bike is only missing a couple things my bike has. It even has the chin spoiler and "custom" paint.
I intentionally did Not ride the '19 Fat Bob sat because i Already knew by looking at it how it would perform over my 08 1200c but i Love my bike ,Especially the $5k price tag!😎
@@HerTwoWheels what is the max lean angle in twisties
Nice work Jess, the color of that RGS was totally amazing!!!!
I like that you and Doodle review the experience and not the specs. We can read specs. Emotion is what we're wanting to know about. You're awesome. ;)
06:29 You sounded like Homer Simpson lusting after donuts.
I bought a 2019 street glide special last yr. low speed maneuvers and backing it up SUCK because of the extra weight on the forks. Traded less than a month later on a 2019 Road Glide Special!! LUV IT!!!!
@Rick James i agree! Well said.
You rode right past my house lol I bought my 15’ H-D Forty-Eight from the same dealership. Great group of guys and gals. Be safe out there!
I felt the same way about this bike too. I thought it would feel a little ungainly and front heavy and I was completely wrong. As far as wanting to walk home with it, I felt the same way about the Livewire when I rode it. I got to ride it for two full days and I can't stop thinking about it. Just an absolutely amazing ride. Do yourself a favor and take the Livewire for a ride. It'll rock your world.
Best color for 2020 almost looks like the 2017 cvo version. The hyd clutches suck but there are options. I have an adjustable clutch lever which is a game-changer
Josh Calbert put a Rekluse clutch on mine only way to go it’s awesome
@@MerrittW Yeah I looked at that but my adjustable works and a lot cheaper
can you please share what kind of levers??
@@guszam1036 PSR are the ones i have but there are several different brands
@@HDR20 thanks for answering, I'll look for them
try a road king special :) its like a more comfortable Dyna . You're a Road Warrior fairing and some bar/risers way from a DynaKing. You get the maneuverability of a Dyna with out all that weight off of the front end , but all the comfort for crushing the miles . lol and about $5000 less haha
BaggerBro I agree
100% agree. I've had all baggers, but back at the King.
I have a 2015 Sportster 1200 and I can appreciate what you were saying about the tachometer. I miss having a tach. My buddy says "your ears are the tach", but every bike I've ever ridden has had one. This has the digital tach. Not the same. However, this was a gift so I'm not complaining!
Have a '19 RGS, best Harley I've ever had. First add was Paul Yaffe 12 inch apes, Tab Performance exhaust with Zombie baffles, Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather and the Tuner. Grab you a Heel Shifter, they deleted them from production on the 2020 models. You will not regret it!
Lol I never use my heel shifter but I'm sort of glad it's there.
Last year I went to a rally where HD and Indian demo areas were side by side. For roughly 3 hours I demoed a HD then demo'd an indian and kept going back to back.
What I noticed time and time again. I was always fatigued and not really satisfied after operating a HD. Where with an indian I never felt fatigued and always had a smile on my face.
Found this video by accident. I’ve always been a Honda guy. Owned 10 of them of all shapes and sizes. Currently ride a VTX1800R.. but it’s been 5 years, and I find myself wanting to try something different. Discovered the new Road King in the Silver Pine/Spruce and went absolutely nuts. That is definitely my #goals bike.
Also trying to help my wife find something to start on. She rode a couple of my Shadow’s but never liked them. Thinking about getting her a 883 Sportster first.
Anyway, awesome video. Hope you can bring that baby home soon.
I moved up from a 2006 883 Custom Sportster to my 2016 Road Glide Special an like yourself this bike is one beautiful an great ride.
An I just got mine about 4 months ago an absolutely love the Road Glide Special
"That's what she said" ... Lol
Instead of spending a year’s salary on a bike, spend about $3,000 and have the Dyna’ s suspension swapped to the top end Progressive equipment both front and rear. You’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes. You’ll fall in love with the Dyna all over again.
MichaelH416 i installed Progressive front and rear on my o8 Dyna which was the best thing I ever did and probably around 500 bucks
Stock suspension on baggers or dynas from factory’s are crap. Still gotta upgrade regardless
I ride a 15 CVO Road Glide and and I absolutely love it. I’ve had 7 Ultra Classics, Road King and Dyna Low and the Road Glide is by far the best.
I have been riding harley's for 42 year's and I purchased a 2018 Ultra for my retirement present to me and I love it!!!! You would be very happy with a Road Glide or Ultra if you enjoy touring GOOD LUCK!!!!! ride safe!!!!
I bet Queen Sit is somewhere smiling 😆
Demetrius Ford she probably is! 😂
Demetrius Ford ☺️🏍💨
whit meza ☺️👑🏍💨
If she hasn't already texted ... LMAO
Shoutout to Queen Sit! Got love for both of these girls. Respect!
Good job on resisting the impulse buy. The bike is beautiful, for sure. But like you said, the bike you ride now is paid for. Living debt-free is far better. Ask me how I know. 😉
Yes indeed now I recommend going out and buying a used Road glide instead of paying the price for that new bike! I had a 2010 fat Bob, and the difference is amazing and worth buying if you can afford to!
I had to scroll way too far to find the first reasonable comment.
I most heartily agree. Being debt free is more liberating than a pretty blue road glide. Or pay cash for a used one with lighter clutch.
I used to hate the look of those, but they look better every year. That one is on point and the color is perfect
As usual another great video that I enjoyed. You should test ride a V-Rod just for fun. That would be an awesome video! Have a blessed evening!
Did she just call the road glide special “bare bones”? 🤣
Bare bones compared to Ultra Glide
Or referring to it as stock
@Unknown User Calling her a bitch is completely unnecessary.
🤣🤣🤣 it’s the Rosie O Donald of the motorcycle world
She did call it Bare Bones, and some of the comments here... Y'all need to discharge your keyboards.
Ok, my wife thought I was watching Pornhub at the start of the video. LOL! I have 2011 Street Glide. And love my girl for long distance riding. You asked back in your trip from WV, what's the secret to long distance riding. A more comfortable bike. Power, leg and foot adjustments on the ride. All make for a better time riding.
A touring HD is nice I am a Road King (Special) fan myself. The Clutch was much firmer on the road glide because it's hydraulic your bike is wire.
Made me smile when you said "butter my biscuits".
Took me 10 years to get mine.
Hahaha! Outstanding! Well done! 2004 Road King Custom for me. The new bikes are gorgeous and amazing! Good luck!
I'll have what she's having.
