    That’s a blessing riding with your dad and uncles. My mom just turn 79 and 3stage cancer survivor thanks God she is still here with us. She rides two up with me. Not to much long distance anymore cause of health conditions. But she loves riding with me a lot, she really enjoys riding in the back seat and she enjoys taking pictures and videos and enjoying the views. That is the best riding memories we share together! It’s a movie……

    I'm glad you're getting to take a trip with your Dad. I take my Dad on every trip I take. He passed last year and he loved his Harley. And when it came time to decide whether to sell it or learn to ride I braved it and now I can't get off the thing. Never rode a bike in my life and started out on his 99 Ultra. Love your videos and your spirit. Just hearing your outro got me into the mindset and I'm just glad you're having that experience. Keep doing what you do.

    I’m a tall fellow as well and have applied many of your suggestion (which have worked out well!!). The one thing I did that I have not heard you mention is foot board spacers. Pushes each side out about an inch and what a difference it makes. So comfortable. You should give it a try. Thanks for all the great videos. Be blessed!!!!

    This has to be one of the best video I have ever seen on taking a long trip. I recently began riding again after a 35 year break from riding and surviving terminal liver Cancer. I have an 800 mile your coming up in June from Sioux Falls, SD to Colorado Springs. You and I are the same height, but I am 66 years old. I do not own a Harley, but a Victory Vision Premium Tour. Most of your suggestions will work on my bike, except my seat is already excellent. A roll bag behind will would do the trick as a backrest and would be easy to secure. I visit and work with Hog members all over my state. Hopefully our paths will cross someday. Thanks and keep 2 on the road.

    I'm also a tall rider @ 6'4. I have tried 3 seats and I agree that the le pera daddy long legs is the best for tall riders. I also switched my brake pedal to a low profile extended. Total game changer! No longer have to lift my leg to brake. Ride safe.

    Very wise words Tall. I've got the Honda Goldwing tour and I could go across the states but never do distance with it. Downloaded Waze thank you..I'm 60 now and its time to be on the bike. It's a lifestyle that cannot be beaten. You inspire me daily.

    I love taking road trips on my bike. I have several friends that only ride to work or maybe a couple hours on the weekend, I keep telling them they don’t know what they’re missing. Road trips also gives you experience in all kinds of adverse weather, I usually just plow right through any rain unless it’s so torrential I can’t see. I live in the north east and have to deal with winter, but I since road trips taught me not to fear cold, wind, or rain, I get a couple more months of riding in these parts.

She looks and runs like new. My son and I do all the servicing on it except for the fork fluid, I brought it in for that. I really enjoy watching your videos and I also watch Jerry P from Florida. I’m on the east side of the State. Also Robert Simmons is good also.

    Good stuff. I was glad to hear you mention the key fob battery I ride a lot of ling distance runs and I always change that before I take a long trip, I make sure to do it at least once a year. Yes you can start the bike with out it but it would be a pain to do that for a long period of time. Also I used to ride with a brain bucket but switch to a modular helmet last year and have come to enjoy it, I bought a white Shoei Neotec II with a Pin lock shield so there is no fogging up ever, and its not bad in the heat either, plus I think it takes some of the fatigue out of a long ride. I fell better when I get off the bike after 600 miles or so. I am 62 maybe that's part of it.

    I have a pair of custom molded ear plugs that I picked up at the rally in Laughlin a few years ago. I only wear them on longer rides, or anytime I'm on the highway. I find I can hear sounds better with them on. You can hear your music/navigation, cars, emergency vehicles. Especially good if your pipes are loud. Jmo. I really appreciate the way you talk in your videos, it's like shooting the breeze with a friend, and that you keep things positive!
