Love these kinds of videos Monkey. Most of us don’t get to experience this kind of stuff so please keep taking us along. Interesting to be able to compare Harley stuff in different countries through your videos!!!
Worked at harley engine plant and engine are completely ship overseas in pieces to be assembled. Heads and crankshaft and transmission gear sets only thing assembled
That rear fender on that orange and black fat bob? looked like it came off of an FXDR… You should do a poll of guessing what you actually do for work hahaha!!
My wife, son, and I went to Paris, France, in January. Found a local dealer, and when we walked in, there were 3 separate doors. One door was clothing and helmets. The second door had the bikes. The third door was the service department. When we walked up to the dealer, they had a few bikes out front. One of which was a California Highway Patrol bike. We thought that was pretty funny since we are from California.
funny you mentioned the womens shirts. Im a BIG dude and I tour quite a bit. When we stop in different cities my buddies and I will sometime rent out a "supposedly" haunted location. They never have my size, but they always have my wife's size. So my wife, who hates the paranormal stories, has the most wicked collection of tshirts and hoodies from across the US.
Way cool video! It's great to sample culture ( and Harley culture) in other countries! Thank you for sharing this! By the way, I want that Ford Everest!
When I was in the military one of my missions was always to get to the HD shop. My most favorite t-shirt came from the United Arab Emirates. Literally wore that shirt out.
US Navy 1980 visit to Singapore and Rafferty's was a must stop to get a Singapore Sling. At the time I was more into beer. But I can say that I have had a Singapore Sling in Singapore.
Yeah I went to a Harley dealer in Vietnam. They were nice to me. Didn't bother me. Answered questions when I asked. Shared the prices clearly (which are INSANE there due to import taxes). I did also go to a dealer in Phoenix and test rode two bikes and the folks there seemed great as well. No BS. No fake manliness.
I like when you go to different Harley Dealerships gives us a chance to see How they set their store up Compared to the united states. Stay safe over there
Did you pick up ya a tee shirt or poker chip? My son will be in Singapore Saturday for his work. He’s going to be there about a week. Don’t know what city he’s going to be in. Be safe and enjoy my friend.
You should set up a venmo account or something for people to send you money to bring back poker chips from international dealerships that there is a less than zero percent chance we will ever get to visit.....
When my wife and I went to the Philippines a year and a half ago, I stopped in at the other Harley-Davidson dealership in Manila. It was small compared to a lot of dealerships in the US, but it was very nice, well-stocked with bikes, and the usual clothing, etc. And the staff were wonderful. I think I remember posting in the comments on one of your other videos that I bought the only two 2XL t-shirts they had. 😂
It's cool to see the dealers on your travels. Might not interest you but it'd be cool if you also visited other dealers (Triumph, Royal Enfield etc) to compare what they do and see if there is stuff HD can learn from them ( or the other way around).
@Professional Monkey congratulations for the success of your channel. It was really cool to you in the Advanblack video. That was like the premiere of your seat right? I am happy for you and I am glad you’re getting those kind of opportunities.
Man I’ve gotta say I went and rode a leftover 23’ Roadglide ST. And I rode a 24’ Roadglide, long story short I bought the 24’. Those new bikes are super, super impressive!
@@ProfessionalMonkey bro I can’t believe you haven’t!!! You need to!! Now I will say, it may not be as big of a change for you. But I’m coming back to Harley after owning an Indian. And this new Roadglide just puts my Indian to shame!
It's interesting to see what the harley dealer are like in other countries. Some are omg and some are yeah it looks like the Canadian and US harley dealers.
Singapore is just amazing, when I was there 12 years ago I learnt a few things, any new vehicle required you to purchase a COE (certificate of entitlement) which then cost $30,000, then the tax on a vehicle was 125% , thats the reason why you only see taxi's and high end cars...there is so so much money there! The casino requires residents to pay $200 to go in but visitors free. And the fines.... near my hotel was a waterway with a bridge over, underneath was a pathway, if you was a cyclist you had to dismount and push the cycle, if you got caught cycling under the bridge it was a $1000 fine... one final thing, a LOT of the police walk around in PLAIN clothes so you don't know who they are till they bust you! It is a democracy so you can say what you want....however, if you say something against the government publicly you are lighty to lose your job!
Love the travel videos. Traveled around the Pacific a lot courtesy US Navy and more recently traveled quite a bit around the US for work. I’m curious to know what you do for a living after seeing all of your travel, but understand it’s probably better not to say. 😅
We can't have anything good in the states because if you check its way, cheaper in foreign countries! I always hated the time changes as I went to Europe or the Far East. Only place I've not gotten I wanted to go is Australia. Can't afford it now! One piece of fruit, now you learn the two the banana might of been better because it's enclosed. Have you noticed tge heavy Harleys for the size of the people? I always hear how Harleys are so heavy or big. Here proof if you want to ride one you buy one! Thanks, this makes me want to go visit again..Always loved the P.I.
Hot and humid in the PI and Singapore? Surely you jest! And you're right about not drinking the water. Drink the local beer instead, which I'm sure you are good at. I'm glad I'm not travelling like you, because I'd have a warehouse full of dealership shirts from around the world.
Look up content creator: All cars with Jon And watch his video: Why we can have small trucks anymore - blame the EPA This is why the USA can't have ultralight vehicles like most countries across the pond! I want a ford ranger styled like the 2000's model XLT. Sadly, it will probably be a dead dream 😢 Love your videos by the way well done! I found your channel only today!
Thanks for taking the time to show us places We'll probably never get to go Monk, So do the Harley stores have poker chips as well in Southeast Asia? Or just t shirts for tourists. Cheers from the Great White North 🇨🇦
Yeah the Club scene in Asia is much, much different than in the USA for sure. It wasn’t uncommon to see US 1%er’s MC supporting local MC’s and vise virus in poker runs and other events. It is kinda cool. I enjoyed it while I was there.
Awesome bro, really enjoyed and now fully Subscribed you have me intrigued now can you talk about prices and stuff or is that not allowed im UK based but love this stuff well done on to the next adventure
lol yup....its hot over there....My wife is from Davao City in the Philippines. She went to law school there as well. Long ago...lol Its a beautiful country,.ahahahahaha after all that flying is well,,,,,like "what am I doing, pissing or winding my watch" Not really sure...hahahaha hate jet lag. Yup that airport is a natural wonder.....great waterfall....
TJ, come to Northern Ireland, Belfast. We have 1 Harley dealer, and Titanic museum 😅. I could do a tour for you around the country. Would love to meet you.
It is totally fine 😂 good to see you made it safely the first leg. Too bad you haven't had enough time to rent a bike in Manila and ride it around. That would be a fun video 😂 given the distance and timezones you traveled, you look decent . Lots of fruits and water, boss. Stay safe🤙
Nice to see the HD shops there. The one in Hong Kong bit average. Like your work mate 👍
If you are still there check out Santosa island. Was cool when I was there in my navy days.
I enjoy your videos from other countries. Including the visits to HD shops. Thanks !
Love these kinds of videos Monkey. Most of us don’t get to experience this kind of stuff so please keep taking us along. Interesting to be able to compare Harley stuff in different countries through your videos!!!
Thanks for watching!

I like seeing the Harley shops from other countries. Pretty cool.
Loving your vids, keep them coming

Never thought about the women’s shirts but you’re absolutely right. If they did have the location on them it was a little circular logo. Hmmmm
Don't get caught with gum!!!! Singapore is a really nice city to visit and SHOP!
I know I’ll never make it to any of these places, so it’s nice to view it through your perspective.
Hey brother we have offices in Manila- you’re right the people are so sweet. Your videos are always entertaining and interesting!
Thank you!
Great video, I also love visiting HD stores around the world 👍
When’s your big trip coming up?
@@Mrsmonkey5151 in august first stop Vietnam then onto Europe 👍 including European Bike Week in Austria 😉
@@monsrideawesome! Safe travels!
@@Mrsmonkey5151 thank you ❤️
Honestly one of the best episodes you’ve done. Love them all. But please do more if these since you travel so much!! 👍👍
I'll try! Amsterdam will be next month, and Argentina in October and Santiago, Chile in November.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Awesome. 👍👍
I spent six months in India (experienced by then) and didn't get sick once, because of the list of "to do's" you stated. Thanks for sharing, Ride Free
Exactly. I love India.
Way cool video! It's great to sample culture ( and Harley culture) in other countries! Thank you for sharing this! By the way, I want that Ford Everest!
Wasn't it cool???
@@ProfessionalMonkey Hell yes! Ford Corporate should definitely introduce that SUV to the American line up!
'Love that Wearne's "Creation of Adam" shirt.. ..and the old school orange one next to it.. Don't spose you got anything visual of the Manila shirts?
Yeah, I'd buy a Low Rider ST for that burst paint.. ..and that'd make a good shirt too..
Always look forward to your overseas videos. Very interesting to those of us that Don't travel.
I agree. My traveling is usually going to the nearest bigger town
Loved it stationed in the Philippines twice. Have a blessed week my friend
The 2020s version of arm chair traveling. Very Cool.
When I was in the military one of my missions was always to get to the HD shop. My most favorite t-shirt came from the United Arab Emirates. Literally wore that shirt out.
With everything big there , that Dealership was foul, Dubai mall had the merch. But that was 2017 for me.🍻🍻🍻🇨🇱🇨🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You always a cool dude. Exactly how I would chill solo. Thanks for sharing.
US Navy 1980 visit to Singapore and Rafferty's was a must stop to get a Singapore Sling. At the time I was more into beer. But I can say that I have had a Singapore Sling in Singapore.
I hope to do that today if I have time.
Safe travels.

I did also go to a dealer in Phoenix and test rode two bikes and the folks there seemed great as well. No BS. No fake manliness.
Great seeing other dealerships.
Worth the cash for at Least business class on trips like that
seeing the diff dealerships are definitely cool!
I rode a 24 RG limited and fell in love with it. I wish have one plus paying on my SG and truck lol
Maybe next year the new styling will carry through?
Very interesting. Always willing to learn more.
Keep it up! Your travel videos are great and a learning experience for those of us who don't do overseas travel.
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your commentary.
I really want one of the tobacco fade st!
Theyre pretty arent they?
I like when you go to different Harley Dealerships gives us a chance to see How they set their store up Compared to the united states. Stay safe over there
Excellent video! Enjoyed immensely! 🤟
I love seeing the dealerships everywhere. I always try to find one near me if I travel
Did you pick up ya a tee shirt or poker chip? My son will be in Singapore Saturday for his work. He’s going to be there about a week. Don’t know what city he’s going to be in. Be safe and enjoy my friend.
Like your work videos se places I will never see.
Glad you like them!
You should set up a venmo account or something for people to send you money to bring back poker chips from international dealerships that there is a less than zero percent chance we will ever get to visit.....
You have to be rich to afford a Harley in Asia. They have some of the best street food (Michelin star) there and cheap hope you check it out.
Very good video can you show more of what the city looks like as you are traveling
Last time I was in Manila in 1993 I played a game of “Smiles”
Huh? There's a story there.
Very Cool

The Singapore store had only a few "American sizes" as the lady said, but the shirts were very "hell yeah, brother" if you know what I mean.
My new pro monkey seat is bad a** and made incredibly well especially for the price
Right on! Thanks for ordering one!
It's cool to see the dealers on your travels.
Might not interest you but it'd be cool if you also visited other dealers (Triumph, Royal Enfield etc) to compare what they do and see if there is stuff HD can learn from them ( or the other way around).
My ex wife hated traveling with me because i sold bikes and insisted on stopping at every dealership in every place we visited 🤣🤣
@Professional Monkey congratulations for the success of your channel. It was really cool to you in the Advanblack video. That was like the premiere of your seat right? I am happy for you and I am glad you’re getting those kind of opportunities.
Thanks bud. I really appreciate it. So much negativity out there.
Really cool
The same guy that is always running lawn equipment when you are trying to record in your garage is behind you at 6:45 in this video!!!
Man I’ve gotta say I went and rode a leftover 23’ Roadglide ST. And I rode a 24’ Roadglide, long story short I bought the 24’. Those new bikes are super, super impressive!
I still haven't ridden one, can you believe that?
@@ProfessionalMonkey bro I can’t believe you haven’t!!! You need to!! Now I will say, it may not be as big of a change for you. But I’m coming back to Harley after owning an Indian. And this new Roadglide just puts my Indian to shame!
Love it. Just bought your seat
Awesome! Thank you!
Big fan of your work travel videos. Keep them coming
Pretty cool the travel's and adventures of the professional Monkey outside the garage..👊👊
Do a black street glide with a chrome “classic” hell yea brother look.
Just cover it in Live to Ride gold stuff! I actually kind of like that idea...
@@ProfessionalMonkey good switches and ralley stickers. I don’t know if you have enough white hair and tanned leather skin to pull it off though.
Couldn’t find a shirt in my size over there
Awesome. Got to shake your hand in Leesburg. Appreciate all you do!
Very cool man enjoy
Thanks for showing us around!
It was cool! It's good to know what not to do in other country's. Thank you sir!👍😎
Aww man Singapore Airlines great flight to Frankfurt! that's all I know about that country!😂
Been out there to Manila got family there also
Great vids! Great footage!
It's interesting to see what the harley dealer are like in other countries.

Why we can have small trucks anymore - blame the EPA
This is why the USA can't have ultralight vehicles like most countries across the pond!
I want a ford ranger styled like the 2000's model XLT. Sadly, it will probably be a dead dream 😢
Love your videos by the way well done! I found your channel only today!
Yeah, the biggest problem is the small turbo diesels they use in those trucks wont pass our emissions standards.
Thanks for taking the time to show us places We'll probably never get to go Monk, So do the Harley stores have poker chips as well in Southeast Asia?
Or just t shirts for tourists. Cheers from the Great White North 🇨🇦
Bert's is the only dealer I would ever buy from,bit of a drive from lake county but we'll worth it

Another Fun Video
Awesome bro, really enjoyed and now fully Subscribed you have me intrigued now can you talk about prices and stuff or is that not allowed im UK based but love this stuff well done on to the next adventure
The one in Rome is great, but the one in Naples near the city was trash.
I've been to the one in Rome!
Checking out any other motorcycle shops?
I only have a bit of time to do these so I am pretty much full speed working for the rest of this trip.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Understood. Take care and be safe
We have the Everest here in Australia
People sometimes forget.... the ice in a mixed drink can .....mess with your digestive system. Singapore.... failure to flush>>> FINE !!
Don’t whistle at the women either, it will get you arrested as well.
Frog legs in Singapore are very good if you get the chance.
I'm not a walking tourist either. I want to eat food and drink on vaca or when traveling for work.
lol yup....its hot over there....My wife is from Davao City in the Philippines. She went to law school there as well. Long ago...lol Its a beautiful country,.ahahahahaha after all that flying is well,,,,,like "what am I doing, pissing or winding my watch" Not really sure...hahahaha hate jet lag. Yup that airport is a natural wonder.....great waterfall....
Good times ... while working !
Hey those flowers were for you Pro Monkey they knew the new Godzilla was coming to town!
It's always nice to travel on someone else's dime. (That phrase really needs to be updated to take inflation into account).
You gotta remember, Harleys are hard to afford here in America. In the Philippines they’re only for the very rich.
So...riding in a group of five or more in Singapore after dark will get you - persona non grata - in Singapore. Got it.
TJ, come to Northern Ireland, Belfast. We have 1 Harley dealer, and Titanic museum 😅. I could do a tour for you around the country. Would love to meet you.
That tour pack looked like a cop bike tour pack.
Don't they have a separate lane for motorcycles on the highway?
Good stuff!
It is totally fine 😂 good to see you made it safely the first leg. Too bad you haven't had enough time to rent a bike in Manila and ride it around. That would be a fun video 😂 given the distance and timezones you traveled, you look decent . Lots of fruits and water, boss. Stay safe🤙
‘Cause you can still get a Fat Bob there, so yes.
that was good did you see the price on the bike
Are you still in Manila, I just arrived today 15 th
I really enjoyed seeing how harley-davidson is in other countries,...let's me see what is different from in the states
Great video monkey , nice to see you in parts of the old empire . Keep up the great work
