I enjoy being around strong women who aren’t afraid to make their dreams or goals come true. My wife was like that, she was a military veteran, loved motorcycles and riding with me, a mother, sister and my wife for 47 years. She passed away recently and my life is on “pause” and I miss her a lot. Now I have to be strong for my children and grand babies.
Oh my, I send u my sincerest condolences- your wife sounds like she was an extraordinary woman and u must have been very lucky to have her in your life! Thanks to her for her service, and thanks to u for being here with me on this channel!
This will not be your first video because when you thought of making this video, you have many angles, dialogues on the screen of your mind about this video and it has been appreciated by a huge audience in your mind. 👍
Today was a good day. I came across B.B. channel, saw KITT in the background and said to self, "I wanna hear from that bike owner and hear her upgrades / story". Always happy to find real people like minded. I am working towards making Mamba my 21 RGS Snake Venom show worthy. I do and undo things I think I will like but don't work out. Looking forward to seeing more 🙂
I meant to say too, I’m so happy u are enjoying my husband’s channel, Bearded Breeden! He is so intelligent and researches things in ways most don’t. I’m gonna have him do a vid with me on my speakers - he did the entire install and now has other bikers wanting him to do the work on theirs. I’m gonna have to pimp him out 😬
Number 90 like, yeehaaaaa, 2012 Ultra classic here, retired from truckin` & loggin`& lumber jackin`, lapping up every day, enjoying the freedom of not having to get up in the wee hours...enjoying what you are doin` El keep them vidz comin`...
oh that's wonderful! I'm so glad u are here and liking it so far! I hope I can continue to entertain and offer a couple mins of enjoyment! u as well, ride safe, keep 2 wheels down! :)
Yes the backlight wasn't on your side for some of the filming but you compensated for it well. Thank you for sharing this video. I have been considering going with this type of console for two reasons, I was hoping to shave off some height from the original. I want to gain just a little more backward lean from handle bar and hoping that by going with a black console it will cut down on this southwestern sun glare from the chrome. At 8:25 I froze the video and it sure seems to me the new console is considerably lower and should allow me to accomplish both things I want to improve. Very well done overall. Again, thank you for sharing!
thank u for the feedback and I hope u enjoy your new console as much as I have enjoyed mine.. the only thing I would improve is the gas cap.. sometimes can be tricky to get traction on it to get it to lift.. have to have really dry fingers... otherwise, I love it and get great comments on it!
its by James Carter - u can find him on FB.. he does amazing work, has done a lot with Jesse James.. he does cars and bikes.. his work is top notch and he is wonderful to work with! ill be doing a vid soon on KITTs mods, and I will discuss the seat more :)
This is awsome!! I love the fact that as a women u are wrenching on your own bike. There needs to be more women who ride for 1 and 2nd that wrench on there own vehicles!!! Im a man and i never want my daughter to be reliant on a man to fix stuff for her other than me lol!!! Big props to you!!!!
My Kick stand fell off from my Buell while riding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I found all the parts except for the Bolt. On my Return Trip from Copper Harbor and MT Bohemia Ski area, I stopped at a Gas station and filled up. I enquired where there was a Hardware Store.. Turns out there was one a shortways down the road. I parked My Buell in the Hot sun. It does not have a gas tank. That Gas is stored in the frame. I went into the hardware store and got the bolts washers and nuts I Needed to put my kick starter back on .. Though I didn't have any tools to do it then. When I went back to the parking lot where I left my Bike leaning against a light post , I noticed gasoline was pouring out the Overflow Tube and onto the ground.. Normally I always ride a bike a couple of miles to burn some gas off If I just filled it really full. Long story short .. You don't want gas spilling out from where you removed that tube.. It looks to me like you keep your bike very nice, Not sure why you want it leaking gas all over the top of the engine.
@@being_eli It's not a Leak it's an overflow Tube.. Gas expands in the Hot sun. There must be a place for it to escape. My Buell has a Gas cap similar to the one in your video. It locks and unlocks with the key an 1/4 turn. I watched almost all of the Video.. I assumed you are using your original gas Cap, but the Kit included an O-Ring in case the gas cap did not clear the new tank middle section cover. Both of my street bikes have tank bags. On my Yamaha it's a Givi mounting on a tank mounted lock ring. I have to pull a lever and pop it off and hang it on the side of the bike in order to open the gas cap to fill with gas. My Yamaha Cap also opens with the ignition key, but it flips open.. You will never lose it or drop it in the dirt.. The Bag on my Buell mounts on top of the air cleaner cover with straps with magnetic closers. "Lone Rider" Brand. I made some Sarcastic Comments about Harleys Impleading Traffic on the Tail of the Dragon. Since I bought the Buell Last July, I can now hang out with the Cool Kids who own HD's. My Local Dealer Kalamazoo/ Portage MI Family owned for 98 years is closing this December. I think HD has to approve all Franchise Sales. The owners are the second Generation in the mid 80's .. I know they have one daughter who works there. I have met their General Manager though HOG Chapter rides.. He bought a Pan America this summer.
@@mikeskidmore6754 I will keep an eye out on my fuel- there was no port to connect that hose to and when I asked other bikers about it, they all said to remove the hose. So far so good but if I run into issues I will do an update video and hopefully give others more or better info. Thanks for the heads up tho/ I appreciate u looking out for me!
@@mikeskidmore6754 I assume it was a vent tube. I need to call and a black to pick their brain about it. I will say tho, at the back of the console, just in front of the seat, the console is ever so slightly raised off the tank. So as far as ventilation, there is still that flow available. 🤷🏼♀️ I will look into this farther and let u kno
Good afternoon, Eli. I hope all is well. I enjoyed the console installment of Knight Bike. Please inform me where you purchased the front light that you call Kight Kit Light. I have been searching for a similar light. Thanks, and continue to move forward positively!
I believe we found that light on Amazon, of all places.. my only issue with it originally is that it was too long and it is stiff, not the soft moldable types we have put elsewhere on the bike.. but even after trimming it, it has done well :) sorry for this horribly late reply, I am just now seeing your message.. im so sorry!
I can appreciate your go for it attitude. I also am jealous, that you do your own upgrades. Me? I keep the HD mechanics busy, I’m scared to death I’ll screw something up lol. New sub😎
thank u so much for being here - it means the world to me! and yes, I love to tinker and learn.. my video this week will show all the mods I have done, along with my husband.. we are in the garage most of the time and its always a good time! :)
i cant see, it’s all black! 😂 all joking aside: looks great girrrlll! 👍👍 Already a fan! Greetz from Holland 🇳🇱 Yes The netherlands, land of windmills, gouda cheese and wooden shoes. Keep the rubber down! 🎉
My pleasure! I plan on doing a vid on your extended side covers when I can order them :) and maybe the chin spoiler too... and.... I really do love your products!
I have not had that issue at all - but am keeping an eye on it and will offer an update on it very soon.. so far I have put about 500 miles on it and am loving it... :)
oh yes, I would love to go to sturgis! I would want to ride there and therefore would want about two weeks off so I could take my time.. but I def hope to go one year soon! we do go to Panama city beach bike week... do u guys head there?
@@being_eli I'm not Lakota but I grew up in south dakota and a lot of my childhood friends are, and I like a lot of their philosophy. And yes I do know a little of their language.
@@being_eli No, we plan to attend more rallies when we retire...(darn work gets in the way) But we have been going to Sturgis every year. We rode there several times but a couple years ago we brought a toy hauler/camper and now take that... It's a game changer for us, because we can cook our own meals now. Would rather ride... but we still ride a lot there... The riding is awesome there... You will love it.
@@mitakuyeoyesin1739 very cool!! I tried learning a little- would still love to know it but it is tricky and not having a daily use for it doesn’t help either. Spanish is hard enough… we had a couple friends that spoke it and I always admired them for it
Mine leaks vapors and leaves fuel residue around cap. Have tried double flat seals and single flat and the donut one. That made it better but still leaks. There is a slight gap between console and filler neck and seal only seals cap to console so there is a gap for fuel to escape. Have you experienced this?
I had a small sliver of light under the console right in front of the seat but as it has adjusted to the tank it seems to have settled in.. no leakage of any sort tho....
So what kind of an HD Rider are you on the Dragon? Are you one of the Rude Harley Davidson Riders who Impedes traffic and won't pull off or are you Polite and pull off in one of the dozens of Provided pull off areas. When I rode the Dragon in 2022,, I would come up on a group of HD's that would not pull off, I would make a U-turn and ride the other way for a 1/2 mile I would make another U-turn and head back the way I wanted to go and I would still catch the HD's in 2-3 miles.. I passed many of them on the Double Yellow.. I would say 30% are Rude and 70% would use a pull off.
we are polite, period. we can't stand rude bikers, no matter the make. on the Dragon, we didn't hold anyone up and we were not rushing up on anyone. thankfully, the day we went last was a "slow" day. it is a great road to experience and I wish the rude people - in cars or on bikes, would stay off it..
@@being_eli I don't see Rude as much as I see Inconsiderate. In Germany You can be driving 110 MPH and put on your Turn Signal and Germans will flash their Headlights meaning they can see you and will allow you to change lanes. In Michigan if you put on your Turn signal some one will speed up and fill in the Gap to block you. Germany has a very serious Drivers Training system and the teach curtesy too. Like Old School Truckers were. In Italy it's everyone for themselves and lots of accidents.. In Colombia and Brazil , everyone drives crazy fast bumper to bumper but you rarely ever see any road rage. You do see Scooters, Mopeds and Motorcycles getting hit by crazy drivers non stop. One thing that ticks me off, is when you are driving a Truck with a safe following space idiots will keep passing you and filling in your "safe Space" Then you have to slow down to make a new safe space so then the next idiot in a 4 wheeler will fill that Gap too. I see many Truckers who Tailgate in heavy Traffic on the City Bi-pass highways. I hate using my brakes and wasting fuel as an Owner Operator. I am more likely to slow down and keep the safe space in a Company truck because the wasted fuel and worn out brakes are not coming out of my pocket.
@@mikeskidmore6754 I agree with u 💯- Americans are just not trained like most Europeans are. I was pleased with France and Switzerland. Mexico is a blast to drive in- I would fit in very well there. Jamaica is crazy! Lol, there should be a video done on international drivers. Could be quite entertaining!
@@being_eli My Drivers Training was Free to me at my High School. I had the highest score of 300 students on written , range and road driving combined. My Father taught me as a child riding in the car about being a Curious Driver. I was involved in a Road Rage Incident in FT Wayne IN on my motorcycle last summer when I got Separated from the Herd during the Adam Sandoval Convoy.
@@being_eli I wrote this up to make a record of it because it is such a crazy story. If you if you don't have time to read it don't bother. When I am trucking OTR I need 6 hours of sleep every night .. I wake up and am wide awake for the next 4 hours before My 10 hour break before I can start driving again. I could drive more hours and be better rested if I could stop and sleep 4-6 hours every time I get drowsy. Driving an 18 wheeler down the Highway is far more tiring than riding a motorcycle. Though when I was younger riding a motorcycle did not make me tired or sore. Getting old is a pain in all parts of your body . Race Car Driver Ashlea Albertson Dead At 24 (16) Race Car Driver Ashlea Albertson Dead At 24 - TH-cam Oh Geeez Ashley was a just Passenger in the car. I was involved in a road Rage Incident in FT Wayne IN a month ago. The dude must have been a Meth Head. He was getting really made because I was ahead of him and coasting up to a red Light on a 6 lane road. I was approaching the Left Hand Turn Lane. I noticed a Gold Colored Lincoln SUV tailgating me aggressively. I was on a Motorcycle. It has an extra Brake/ Turn Light .. bight LED that flashing during deacceleration even if I don't use my brakes. I was concerned about this aggressive tailgater. I was stopped at the Red Light in the Left Hand turn lane. I am looking in my Left mirror at him then in my right mirror at his Female passenger. I was thinking that either he was really rocking out to some song on the Radio that he really liked or he was having a heated Argument with his Passenger. It was a very long red light. Eventually this dude pulled up beside me on my right .. His window was rolled down half way. He Yelled "Move Ahead , Move Ahead, Move Ahead" Then he Yelled "If you do that one more time I am going to Beat your A$$." I am thinking doing what? Then I realized how my LED brake light flashes if I decelerate or hit the brakes. If I hot the brakes it will flash three times before it goes to a solid red. Then He pulled ahead of me and in front of me. I guess he figured me not being parked on the bumper of the only car ahead of me at the Left hand Turn Light was a waste of Space.. Then he jumped out of his SUV leaving the door wide Open and Rushed me. He said Meet me in the Parking Lot I want to beat your A$$. I am still not Mad at the dude as I am not a psychopath , yet my Adrenaline was really high. I was not trying to memorize his License Number ect. I had to turn left. I had just exited the Highway and taken an off ramp onto the road I was on. I was following my GPS Instructions to the Hotel That the "Adam Sandoval Convoy" was staying at. He was riding to 120 Harley Davidson Dealerships and raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project. I followed the psychopath left a short ways then he turned left into a lane between two large parking lots. I turned left , South where he did. He drove rather fast then took a right into a large parking lot. Maybe it was a Menards. Just after I turned south I stopped and took a Glove off so I could turn my Go-Pro Camera on. Then I got off my bike and opened my Top Case to retrieve my Fanny Pack that had my cell phone and 9 mm hand gun in. I was not mad.. I was never mad in this road rage incident. I thought the guy deserved a "Brake Check" but that would not be smart to try on a Motorcycle. I was not mad but still I was wondering how this guy was going to "Beat my A$$" While I had on a full face Helmet and leather Gloves with Carbon Fiber Knuckles? There was a group of maybe 20 cars parked near the large building where the SUV went to the West. I lost visual track of the vehicle though I was trying to keep track of where he was while I was turning on the Go Pro and getting out my Fanny Pack. I strapped my Quick Draw Fanny pack to my waist. At some point I thought I was the Gold SUV head East in front of me and go into another Parking lot South and East of where I stopped my bike. I should have called 9-11 and documented the Incident as we really don't need idiots that crazy on the road. Just the same, I know Cops don't really like to be bothered with things so Trivial. They say that an armed Society is a Polite Society. I just wondered if he would have become more Polite if I had pulled the 9mm on him as he was threating to beat my A$$. I would not be against a good ole fashioned fair fist fight, but then again I was never mad. I was just baffled as to what drugs this dude was on that made him act so crazy, or was he on no drugs? It's best not to challenge others on the road. In my case being on a Motorcycle I was very Lucky that he didn't simply try to run me over with an SUV. He actually parked his SUV got out and charged me challenging me to a fist fight. The Problem is you just don't know when they are going to pull a knife , baseball bat or Gun. In the case with Ashlea Albertson a simple road rage incident could have easily turned into getting shot at or even shot. Sound to me like if Ashlea Albertson would of had her seat belt on she would still be alive. If she was ejected from the car, I am guessing she was not wearing her seat belt. Don't Indulge Crazy People, there are a lot of them out there!
I had just exited off from a Highway. I had about 1/2 mile to travel on a 6 lane road. I needed to turn left at the Intersection ahead. I could see that the Light was red so I was not going real fast. The Lincoln SUV came up behind me on the 6 lane road. I guess he got upset because I was not racing up to the red light. My Motorcycle has an Ardmore LED brake / tail light that senses deceleration and flashes three times before going to a solid light. Later I realized that he may have thought I was flashing the light on purpose as by then he was tailgating me. I watched him in my left mirror and I could see his female passenger in my right mirror. I thought he was either rocking out to music or in a heated argument with his passenger. Because he was already a Tailgater I was watching him in my mirrors. Eventually he pulled up in my right side and yelled "Move Ahead, Move Ahead " Several times. There was a gap between me and the only other car ahead of my in the left hand turn lane. Then he squeezed his car ahead of me between my motorcycle and the car ahead of me. Then he jumped out of his car leaving his door wide open and rushed at me. He was Yelling to meet me in the parking lot so he can "beat My A*" My Adrenaline was very high at this point. I was wondering how he was going to beat my A* with a Helmet on and carbon fiber knuckle gloves. The Problem with a good ole fashioned fist fight is you never know when a Crazy will pull a Gun, knife or baseball bat on you. At this point I am thinking I am lucky he only wants a fist fight and he didn't just ram me with his Goldish Li colon SUV.
Every time you say "Kit" I try to look in your driveway for a Black Third Generation Trans Am.. I like Black Motorcycles OK .. I have a Black 1979 Z-28 Camaro that I bought new when I was 18 years old . It cost $7,193.00 Out the door. I also bought a 2016 Yamaha FZ-07 in 2017.. Black was the only color the Dealer had in stock .. I have purchased Yamaha Racing Yellow Paint to re-paint the bike with . With a Black bike it's incogneto .. with Yamaha racing Yellow and Racing bars graphics the Cops will notice it more.. which is not a good thing.
yes I wish I also had the black trans am! that's why I modeled my KITT after the car - I am a huge fan! and yes, yellow is beautiful - and eye catching! :)
@@being_eli I have a Black 1979 Z-28 Camaro that I bought new. It has orange and red stripes and used to have chrome side piped. It has no rust and only 54,000 miles on it. As a Teenager I had a Yamaha RD-400 Motorcycle but Fathers would not let me take their daughters on dates on my motorycle .. So I decided I needed a car. I don't think the Fathers knew My Camaro tops out at 150 MPH. I ordered when I was still in high School. It Tooks 6 months to get it built in Van Nuys CA and shipped to Michigan. Have you seen Adam Sandoval's Channel. He recently purchased a Pro Touring Black Trans-Am.. with a modern Fuel Injected Chevy LS motor in it .
@@being_eli I rode in the Adam Sandoval Convoy for 4 days. He recently bought a Pro Street touring 1978 Trans AM. starts after 3:00 in this video th-cam.com/video/9SFVmRCxm6I/w-d-xo.html I have done a lot of engine and suspension Mods to my Z-28 so it corners hard too..

Another video had a guy complaining about gas coming out after he filled it to the brim and ruined his bike…any thoughts on this?
I have not had that issue at all - but am keeping an eye on it and will offer an update on it very soon.. so far I have put about 500 miles on it and am loving it... :)
Good morning ma'am came to my home India it's my dream to meet you big fan of you ma'am ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks so much for being here! and wow, India!! what part do u live in?
That was awesome... My wife has a road glide, and she loved this video. Ever consider Sturgis?
oh yes, I would love to go to sturgis! I would want to ride there and therefore would want about two weeks off so I could take my time.. but I def hope to go one year soon! we do go to Panama city beach bike week... do u guys head there?
AND, I see your name - are u Lakota Sioux? or at least speak Lakota? your name is a lovely thought!
@@being_eli I'm not Lakota but I grew up in south dakota and a lot of my childhood friends are, and I like a lot of their philosophy. And yes I do know a little of their language.
@@being_eli No, we plan to attend more rallies when we retire...(darn work gets in the way) But we have been going to Sturgis every year. We rode there several times but a couple years ago we brought a toy hauler/camper and now take that... It's a game changer for us, because we can cook our own meals now. Would rather ride... but we still ride a lot there... The riding is awesome there... You will love it.
@@mitakuyeoyesin1739 very cool!! I tried learning a little- would still love to know it but it is tricky and not having a daily use for it doesn’t help either. Spanish is hard enough… we had a couple friends that spoke it and I always admired them for it
Mine leaks vapors and leaves fuel residue around cap. Have tried double flat seals and single flat and the donut one. That made it better but still leaks. There is a slight gap between console and filler neck and seal only seals cap to console so there is a gap for fuel to escape. Have you experienced this?
I had a small sliver of light under the console right in front of the seat but as it has adjusted to the tank it seems to have settled in.. no leakage of any sort tho....
Eli what Handle Bars and What Size are they ? And what handle bar grips are those ?
I cover this in my next video, KITTS mods- but.. 10” kst spearheads with Avon grips. Love them both, highly recommend! Thanks for being here!
Bet she’s fun at parties.
id like to think I'm fun everywhere! :)
looks damn nice!!
thanks!!! I'm loving it and I love the gas cap too - much easier to fill now, not having the big round cover on the OEM console staying in the way....
❤
You're fine!
ty so much!
Looks Good
thanks!! I'm loving it!

yeaaasssss!!
So what kind of an HD Rider are you on the Dragon? Are you one of the Rude Harley Davidson Riders who Impedes traffic and won't pull off or are you Polite and pull off in one of the dozens of Provided pull off areas.
When I rode the Dragon in 2022,, I would come up on a group of HD's that would not pull off, I would make a U-turn and ride the other way for a 1/2 mile I would make another U-turn and head back the way I wanted to go and I would still catch the HD's in 2-3 miles.. I passed many of them on the Double Yellow.. I would say 30% are Rude and 70% would use a pull off.
we are polite, period. we can't stand rude bikers, no matter the make. on the Dragon, we didn't hold anyone up and we were not rushing up on anyone. thankfully, the day we went last was a "slow" day. it is a great road to experience and I wish the rude people - in cars or on bikes, would stay off it..
@@being_eli I don't see Rude as much as I see Inconsiderate. In Germany You can be driving 110 MPH and put on your Turn Signal and Germans will flash their Headlights meaning they can see you and will allow you to change lanes. In Michigan if you put on your Turn signal some one will speed up and fill in the Gap to block you.
Germany has a very serious Drivers Training system and the teach curtesy too. Like Old School Truckers were.
In Italy it's everyone for themselves and lots of accidents..
In Colombia and Brazil , everyone drives crazy fast bumper to bumper but you rarely ever see any road rage. You do see Scooters, Mopeds and Motorcycles getting hit by crazy drivers non stop.
One thing that ticks me off, is when you are driving a Truck with a safe following space idiots will keep passing you and filling in your "safe Space" Then you have to slow down to make a new safe space so then the next idiot in a 4 wheeler will fill that Gap too. I see many Truckers who Tailgate in heavy Traffic on the City Bi-pass highways. I hate using my brakes and wasting fuel as an Owner Operator. I am more likely to slow down and keep the safe space in a Company truck because the wasted fuel and worn out brakes are not coming out of my pocket.
@@mikeskidmore6754 I agree with u 💯- Americans are just not trained like most Europeans are. I was pleased with France and Switzerland. Mexico is a blast to drive in- I would fit in very well there. Jamaica is crazy! Lol, there should be a video done on international drivers. Could be quite entertaining!
@@being_eli My Drivers Training was Free to me at my High School. I had the highest score of 300 students on written , range and road driving combined.
My Father taught me as a child riding in the car about being a Curious Driver.
I was involved in a Road Rage Incident in FT Wayne IN on my motorcycle last summer when I got Separated from the Herd during the Adam Sandoval Convoy.
@@being_eli I wrote this up to make a record of it because it is such a crazy story. If you if you don't have time to read it don't bother. When I am trucking OTR I need 6 hours of sleep every night .. I wake up and am wide awake for the next 4 hours before My 10 hour break before I can start driving again. I could drive more hours and be better rested if I could stop and sleep 4-6 hours every time I get drowsy. Driving an 18 wheeler down the Highway is far more tiring than riding a motorcycle. Though when I was younger riding a motorcycle did not make me tired or sore. Getting old is a pain in all parts of your body .
Race Car Driver Ashlea Albertson Dead At 24
(16) Race Car Driver Ashlea Albertson Dead At 24 - TH-cam
Oh Geeez Ashley was a just Passenger in the car. I was involved in a road Rage Incident in FT Wayne IN a month ago. The dude must have been a Meth Head. He was getting really made because I was ahead of him and coasting up to a red Light on a 6 lane road. I was approaching the Left Hand Turn Lane.
I noticed a Gold Colored Lincoln SUV tailgating me aggressively. I was on a Motorcycle. It has an extra Brake/ Turn Light .. bight LED that flashing during deacceleration even if I don't use my brakes.
I was concerned about this aggressive tailgater. I was stopped at the Red Light in the Left Hand turn lane. I am looking in my Left mirror at him then in my right mirror at his Female passenger.
I was thinking that either he was really rocking out to some song on the Radio that he really liked or he was having a heated Argument with his Passenger. It was a very long red light. Eventually this dude pulled up beside me on my right .. His window was rolled down half way. He Yelled "Move Ahead , Move Ahead, Move Ahead" Then he Yelled "If you do that one more time I am going to Beat your A$$." I am thinking doing what? Then I realized how my LED brake light flashes if I decelerate or hit the brakes. If I hot the brakes it will flash three times before it goes to a solid red.
Then He pulled ahead of me and in front of me. I guess he figured me not being parked on the bumper of the only car ahead of me at the Left hand Turn Light was a waste of Space..
Then he jumped out of his SUV leaving the door wide Open and Rushed me. He said Meet me in the Parking Lot I want to beat your A$$. I am still not Mad at the dude as I am not a psychopath , yet my Adrenaline was really high. I was not trying to memorize his License Number ect. I had to turn left. I had just exited the Highway and taken an off ramp onto the road I was on. I was following my GPS Instructions to the Hotel That the "Adam Sandoval Convoy" was staying at. He was riding to 120 Harley Davidson Dealerships and raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project.
I followed the psychopath left a short ways then he turned left into a lane between two large parking lots. I turned left , South where he did. He drove rather fast then took a right into a large parking lot. Maybe it was a Menards. Just after I turned south I stopped and took a Glove off so I could turn my Go-Pro Camera on. Then I got off my bike and opened my Top Case to retrieve my Fanny Pack that had my cell phone and 9 mm hand gun in.
I was not mad.. I was never mad in this road rage incident. I thought the guy deserved a "Brake Check" but that would not be smart to try on a Motorcycle. I was not mad but still I was wondering how this guy was going to "Beat my A$$" While I had on a full face Helmet and leather Gloves with Carbon Fiber Knuckles?
There was a group of maybe 20 cars parked near the large building where the SUV went to the West. I lost visual track of the vehicle though I was trying to keep track of where he was while I was turning on the Go Pro and getting out my Fanny Pack. I strapped my Quick Draw Fanny pack to my waist.
At some point I thought I was the Gold SUV head East in front of me and go into another Parking lot South and East of where I stopped my bike.
I should have called 9-11 and documented the Incident as we really don't need idiots that crazy on the road. Just the same, I know Cops don't really like to be bothered with things so Trivial.
They say that an armed Society is a Polite Society. I just wondered if he would have become more Polite if I had pulled the 9mm on him as he was threating to beat my A$$. I would not be against a good ole fashioned fair fist fight, but then again I was never mad. I was just baffled as to what drugs this dude was on that made him act so crazy, or was he on no drugs?
It's best not to challenge others on the road. In my case being on a Motorcycle I was very Lucky that he didn't simply try to run me over with an SUV. He actually parked his SUV got out and charged me challenging me to a fist fight.
The Problem is you just don't know when they are going to pull a knife , baseball bat or Gun.
In the case with Ashlea Albertson a simple road rage incident could have easily turned into getting shot at or even shot. Sound to me like if Ashlea Albertson would of had her seat belt on she would still be alive. If she was ejected from the car, I am guessing she was not wearing her seat belt. Don't Indulge Crazy People, there are a lot of them out there!
I had just exited off from a Highway. I had about 1/2 mile to travel on a 6 lane road. I needed to turn left at the Intersection ahead. I could see that the Light was red so I was not going real fast. The Lincoln SUV came up behind me on the 6 lane road.
I guess he got upset because I was not racing up to the red light. My Motorcycle has an Ardmore LED brake / tail light that senses deceleration and flashes three times before going to a solid light.
Later I realized that he may have thought I was flashing the light on purpose as by then he was tailgating me. I watched him in my left mirror and I could see his female passenger in my right mirror. I thought he was either rocking out to music or in a heated argument with his passenger. Because he was already a Tailgater I was watching him in my mirrors. Eventually he pulled up in my right side and yelled "Move Ahead, Move Ahead " Several times. There was a gap between me and the only other car ahead of my in the left hand turn lane. Then he squeezed his car ahead of me between my motorcycle and the car ahead of me. Then he jumped out of his car leaving his door wide open and rushed at me. He was Yelling to meet me in the parking lot so he can "beat My A*" My Adrenaline was very high at this point. I was wondering how he was going to beat my A* with a Helmet on and carbon fiber knuckle gloves.
The Problem with a good ole fashioned fist fight is you never know when a Crazy will pull a Gun, knife or baseball bat on you. At this point I am thinking I am lucky he only wants a fist fight and he didn't just ram me with his Goldish Li colon SUV.
OK OK nice bike
hehehe... hes ok, I guess :)
So nice madam ❤❤
Am don't see .......thanks for video
Oi ❤️👍❤️❤️
Every time you say "Kit" I try to look in your driveway for a Black Third Generation Trans Am.. I like Black Motorcycles OK .. I have a Black 1979 Z-28 Camaro that I bought new when I was 18 years old . It cost $7,193.00 Out the door.
I also bought a 2016 Yamaha FZ-07 in 2017.. Black was the only color the Dealer had in stock .. I have purchased Yamaha Racing Yellow Paint to re-paint the bike with .
With a Black bike it's incogneto .. with Yamaha racing Yellow and Racing bars graphics the Cops will notice it more.. which is not a good thing.
yes I wish I also had the black trans am! that's why I modeled my KITT after the car - I am a huge fan! and yes, yellow is beautiful - and eye catching! :)
@@being_eli I have a Black 1979 Z-28 Camaro that I bought new. It has orange and red stripes and used to have chrome side piped. It has no rust and only 54,000 miles on it. As a Teenager I had a Yamaha RD-400 Motorcycle but Fathers would not let me take their daughters on dates on my motorycle .. So I decided I needed a car. I don't think the Fathers knew My Camaro tops out at 150 MPH. I ordered when I was still in high School. It Tooks 6 months to get it built in Van Nuys CA and shipped to Michigan. Have you seen Adam Sandoval's Channel. He recently purchased a Pro Touring Black Trans-Am.. with a modern Fuel Injected Chevy LS motor in it .
@@being_eli I rode in the Adam Sandoval Convoy for 4 days. He recently bought a Pro Street touring 1978 Trans AM. starts after 3:00 in this video
th-cam.com/video/9SFVmRCxm6I/w-d-xo.html
I have done a lot of engine and suspension Mods to my Z-28 so it corners hard too..
Just stopping by to say how absolutely horrible looking new bikes are . Noting against you or your content more the MoCo.
that's the wonderful thing about motorcycles - there is something for everyone! no offense taken and glad u are here!
