Just found your channel. Brilliant love it !!! My wife and I have just binge watch all. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe. 👍
Thank you! Will do!
YOU MEAN SCOOTER PUNK SCOTTY! AKA FREE LOADER.
PUT AS MUCH DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU & HIM & KEEP IT THAT WAY!
HEED MY WARNING!!!!
🤔🤔
This,is amazing!I'm watching this video with my 86 year old mother.40 odd years ago,her and my father(rip),travelled all over Canada and the states.My father built a tent trailer,very similar to "Ruby",that he pulled behind his loaded '78 Goldwing.Every so often,I would hook up with them on the road.I had a '78 400 Hawk.Kick start only and drum brakes.I put many miles on that bird!
I loved that time in life and your video brought it all back to my mother and I.Beautiful!
Are u guys OK with leaving yr camp stuff behind when u take off for the day ,ever any problems with that.? Do u take any extra precautions with yr stuff or food? How about stealth camping ? U seem to have it all under control lol . That's a good thing.
Great video. In 2008, rode into Strugis 4 days before the official opening of the rally. Got a beer, a T-shirt, baseball cap and got out. Max is right. Ride the area either 2 weeks before or after the rally.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles have ruined more road trips that any other motorcycle because of mechanical issues
Another Epic adventure. I have been to Sturgis 3 times and usually get my fill in about 2 days.
I agree with Max. I passed by Sturgis on a July, rode those roads, all was fine and I could get the flavor of it.
Yes we have done both and the well before or after is better riding.
My Wife and I really liked this episode. Camping with Friends and your Son is the absolute best. Many of your video's start out with you making that first cup of coffee. That strikes a familiar cord with us as well. You've become our Sunday night favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Max is due a new front Tyre just thinking safety guys, also thank you for another great vlog
he had since replace im sure
Max is a chip off the old block! Nothing like two wheel time with your kids 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul. He’s a good man!
You had what i think was a cascading number of errors. 1 error causing the 2nd , etc.
I think the voltage regulator broke, that subsequently fried the stator AND the ECM.
electronic modules do NOT like over-voltage.
Same for batteries, if the bike overcharges the battery long and hard it can cook the battery.
Anyway, thnx for the fun video.
At 07:35 isn't this the authentic Harley Davidson experience ?
Regular mechanical troubles, despite having paid big $$$ bucks ?
Not to razz you, you could probably write a book.
Years ago I saw a buddy bought a "cruiser bike". I said 'you had to get the HD for your retirement' - he replied "Naw, can't afford the Harley I got a Honda Shadow instead...so I don't have to hire "that other guy". I'm like "what other guy" ? He said "the guy who follows behind you to pickup the parts as they fall off your Harley". He's like:
"I just wanna ride a cruiser & travel...no continual roadside repairs....ergo...no Harley for me !"
This conversation was probably 25 years ago now.
I've been spoiled by reliable Japanese bikes too.
No slam on HD riders either, we just have a VERY different set of expectations on our motorcycle lifestyle !
The old man wouldn’t have had that problem if he’d had a BMW like the mama! 😹😹😹
Awww! When your baby pulled up and said “hey mama”, I broke down into tears! I haven’t seen my boys (Coast Guard and Marine) in 3 years. How fun that he got to join you guys! Love the videos! What an adventure.
You should go to them if you can. They would love it, I wish my parents had came to visit when I was active duty. My wife's Mom did and I always thought that was so cool!!!
@@master6676 My Coastie is in Alaska now, I totally plan on a motorcycle trip to go see him! My Marine is home now with my grandbaby and I'm over the moon!
@@fourwindsppg2628 Awesome.
@@fourwindsppg2628 Congrats on the grandbaby! And thank your sons for their service!
Heres a tip for anyone that downraps HARLEY DAVIDSON ? They will not wrench on any other brand of motorcycle. End of story .
Max has my respect. Raised a nice young man.
Thank You very much. Cheers !!
Let's be honest I have great parents!
@@TicsMcgee appreciate the thin blue line flag as a retired LEO!
Heres a great tip for riding out West .Fuel stations are few & far between. I made it a point to stop every 110 miles . I get 44 MPG but you just don't know when your on the road out West .You don't want to run a fuel injected motor out of gas .
Having lived in the black hills for 40 years, I guess you guys like it, been going down hill every year ..locals here it only benefits a few ..my auto repair business NEVER had as much as a regular tourist season bikes make life impossible except for you " rally goers" I ride cant stand the costume party posers that the rally has turned into
I knew it… home schooled! What a great kid.
Thank
Nice your family is enjoying family and riding and nature not political views.
Watching you guys take off reminded me of when we ride with friends. We ride with anything that rolls. It was great seeing your son. Great to see Miss Alice back on the road. Happy Birthday. Enjoy your ride
Right on!
Makes me want to go back to sturgis , I’m interested in that campground. I like that your son wears that blue line on his vest.
One of the best videos I've seen from you guys. Great roads, great video of them, great video overall. . Max is a good looking kid, and following your riding passion, he'll do well. I am a Harley Davidson fan big time, I have a 1988 Softail custom. But if you want something that can easily pull Ruby, and be ultra reliable get a Goldwing. Honda's are phenomenally good, reliable bikes. Jayman...
Wow, we stayed at Sturgis View as well, if I had known you guys were there we would have walked up the hill and said hello. We stayed down in one of the cabins off the ridge. Absolutely wonderful campground!! Sorry we missed you guys, maybe next year if you guys go back?
Love your videos, got me through some tough times earlier this year, thank you both, please keep them coming!!
We stayed there too! Cabin 17, on the ridge.
I'm old enough to know what a rolodex is, lol. Does Henry or max wanna share their instagrams ? Cool experience, thanks for sharing
That's cool, "mom, can I borrow your bike?" 😅
For those of you who prefer to ride over party and still want the Sturgis experience, show up for the week before. The Rally infrastructure is there, the campgrounds are equipped, and the vendors aren't grouchy yet. My group's tradition is to show up on the Tuesday or Wednesday before the official start, and leave the first Sunday of the rally. It's teh best of both worlds.
Scotty rolled into our campground. Meeting him was the highlight of sturgis for me this year. I so wish I would have known you guys were down there. I hope to meet you next year. It would make my sturgis 2022
We’ll see I don’t know if we’ll be there during the rally but will return sometime.
Bike shit the bed in the right area that's for sure. Must be living right. : - ) Awesome you had your kid come!
Thanks Bert
Loved this video! Good people to travel with, and interesting interviews. Great to meet Max. The Alice question. Keep her and keep on keeping on with all that comes her way. If warranty expires and replacement is required go Can Am RT or Goldwing, which ever one tows more. Next option would be 3/4 ton Truck with 5th Wheel/ toy hailer combo. You have seen that option out there. In any case I will follow your journey. Seriously thinking of making you guys the first I have joined Patreon for. Looking forward to learning about Henry too. God Bless!
Rich, chillax, $560 is way better that over $1500. You have no bike payments. New S&S motor and some tranny work and you are good to go. I was at HD today spending my birthday gift card on split view mirror, My 70th was on the 25th. I started looking at new bikes then said, self get the hell out of here. I love my 12 FLHTK like I know you love Ms Alice. If there's another bike in me, it will be a GW, not new, but between 12-17.. TTFN
Thanks Freddie. Ms Alice is going to stay in the family. We may get another bike sometime. BTW that was $50 repair with the warranty. 👍👍
Enjoying your Sturgis ride Thumbs up. I have a question. After the Harley was serviced at Black Hills HD you mentioned it was covered under ESP. Is that a 3rd party ESP and if so , which one? I’m thinking that RG can’t be any newer than a 2013 model. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. It is the HD extended warranty. And has covered all issues except brakes and clutch plates. Worth the money.
It would have made an epic video if Max borrowed his mother’s motorcycle and pulled away in a full wheeelie. 😂😂😂😂 Where does a Buffalo go? Anywhere he wants too. What a great video. Mini family reunion and a tour of the Black Hills. 👍
Hi..
i can't find wich episode was,but I remember that u change your tires for the Dunlop trailmax or something like that.....lol.
I have a Triumph tiger and I'm looking a good tires that I can take on a 9000+ road trip ..
can u share you experience with this tires.?
do you feel different on hwy(vibration at high speed,or poor traction)?
they suppose to be 50/50 and I like that...
Thank you so much...
I' live in Georgia,so if you travel this area sometime let me know...
(mi casa es su casa)...!
bye...
Yes we changed Chris' bike to trail max Missions and she loves them so far over 15k miles and still Lots of tread
REMEMBER, IF YOU DONT LIKE THE WEATHER, WAIT 5 MINUTES !
Hmmmm sounds like throwing parts at it till it runs maybe.
You are rich. Just found ya, following now.
Love watching your videos.
Just found you channel.
Don't ride now but we enjoy your content and meeting you son and friends. Your rides around Sturgis were awesome . Thank you.
I'm about 21:54 into this video and have to watch the rest later. But this has been my favorite video you all have made. I could feel the struggle as Miss Alice's future was in question. Life can be hard at times. But it was wonderful to see how your son's arrival brightened up both of your faces. Life is that way, isn't it? We struggle at times and then God reminds us of how blessed we really are.
You can live without a pillow. Great to see this young man join you. Ride safe, stay safe...have lots of fun making great memories.
You got that right!
I ended getting one for 3 bucks from Walmart XD
$8 beers on main street. I won't be back. My first time was1979. If Daytona plays that game I'll stop that also. I live in Tampa and I'll stick to Sopotniks.
Yes I had 1 Bloody Mary. $20 🤔🤬
I really enjoy all your videos. Great memories. I’ve been to several of the same places. 1question. Are you Tim Two Wheels, of KLR fame?
Is he my doppelgänger 🤣🤣. I am not him 🤣🤣
Sorry, just got around to watching this one. I must say great to hear that the Harley repairs where covered under warranty, minus $50.
And yes you are right if you want to see the sights without a lot of people you better get up early! I was up at 5 in the morning and downtown at 6 walking around because of the crowds. There's so many people at Mount Rushmore it is unbelievable. I've already made up my mind the next time I go to the rally it will be the last two days of it and then I will have the whole next week with less people.
I took my Sturgis sign picture at 6am. My 2022 plans are the same as yours.
@@AdventureswithRedbeard yeah I think that's the best way to catch the rally and have some time to actually see some things without being in fear of getting ran over from behind
Sturgis is truly a degenerate-fest. As a 67 year of motorcyclist who has ridden in excess of 750k miles I find this event to be truly embarrassing.
Alrighty then.
Scooter Tramp Scotty doesn't have much use - let alone patience - for others. I appreciate - indeed admire - his chosen lifestyle . . . it's immensely interesting and unique . . . but his condescending attitude towards others is annoying. Kudos to you for endeavoring to elicit his thoughts in a respectful manner.
👍👍
From a motorcycle safety instructor….thank you for riding with all your safety gear and helmets
Thanks.
Lol… love it …cold rain shower. Riding motorcycles = shit happens😂😂😂
Yep it’s gets better. Not easier but better
I agree with your son.I like to ride faster than putt.So I come the weekend before the rally ride all week stay through the first weekend then continue my ride the long way back to Northern California
Exactly! We like short bits of big events.
Just found your channel today and love it. Been watchin for hours. We moved from Fort Worth in 2010 to Dickinson ND. Quit going to Sturgis a few years ago. To crowded and to many inexperienced riders. Keep the sticky side down and safe travels.
Enjoyed your video. Rich you ride your motorcycle hard and you need to expect problems. Just roll with it.
Exactly. Thanks.
Have done the sturgis rally twice. crowded and expensive. next time it will be a month before the rally. less expensive and less crowded. enjoyed the music in this video.
agreed!
It was a pleasure to meet your son! If I was a rider, I would concur with his assessment about Sturgis, it was fun the one time, but our preferences too would be to go AFTER the event. Too many people, but being in any sort of community is always welcomed, no matter what sort of community it is, and for you guys, it's the biking community. 😎🥤
Seen you ride through main street, wish we could have talked to you. Looks like you raised a fine young man, you should be proud.
We are very proud of all the kids. Thanks.
Another beautifully edited production. Love the music. Can’t imagine what kind a person one has to be to give any of your videos a thumbs down? Then again I have learned what many people are really like since March of 2020.
Nothing against Harley but if I was gonna ride across country that much I’d be on a Goldwing
I've heard that before But my Ms Alice has 115000 now and fits me perfect
Your warranty covered your repair costs? Who is your warranty company? I've always heard that if you pull a trailer it voids the warranty?
It’s the HD extended warranty. I believe it’s ESP. I have heard the factory warranty will not be good if you pull a trailer. The extended warranty has not been an issue.
Hmmmmm, personally I don't pull a trailer but I fully understand that for your guys it works really well. It would be a shame if you guys had to give up Ruby but I can also see you both on Adventure bikes although that'd necessitate going back to a packable tent, on the bike and less comfort items. The other option, especially for the miles you folks do, may be a GoldWing. I've had 2 of them and plan to get another this coming spring. As I say, I don't tow a trailer but a lot of folks do and I haven't heard of the issues that you are facing with your Harley but then just cause I haven't heard doesn't mean they don't happen.
Having said all that I don't see how pulling a trailer would cause Stator problems, Regulator problems and ECM problems. I'd be more suspicious of extra power consumption (like lots of accessories) contributing to your electrical problems but you don't seem to have a bunch of accessories.
In any case, keep riding and having fun, whichever you way you go!
Thanks
Had a great time, visiting and riding along with you.
Awesome. Thanks.
Your best video yet!!! Excellent content, editing, music. Keep up the great work. I would much rather watch your content than anything on mainstream TV.
Thanks a bunch Eric
I have a buddy that lives in Sturgis and we ride ADV motorcycles (we both don't like Harleys or Indians). I lived in Mooresville, NC, and I'm a fan of Moto GP, F1 & road courses (dislike NASCAR). I grew up in SoCal, went to Univ. in the midwest, and spring breaked in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Do you see a pattern here?
Max as a veteran I appreciate that your "Ol Glory" flag has a blue stripe to honor our police. Too often people just throw her on a vest or jacket without thought. You placed her over your heart and thought of others at the same time, Thank You!
Yes, the whole of the Black Hills area needs to be enjoyed outside of the Sturgis rally time frame. You folks have a great young Man there.
You all are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Thank you for your service!
Your son's bike looks lowered front & back, I ride a 14 dyna street bob, lowered front & back, looks cool as hell, but at 57 yrs old, it beats the hell out of me, Love your channel!
Yeah That ride would have killed me
It is lowered
I feel for you with all the HD problems. I used to work at a HD dealer. After working there, I definitely would never own one. Indian might be a good alternative. But Yea, BMW GS is the ultimate. They can have problems too. But for the "love of pete".... four freaking stators! OMG... i would take alice to the dump by Alices restaurant and bury that thing! Don't want to sound mean or anything of the sort. But the proof of HD quality and engineering prowess or lack of... is painfully clear. If you do go the Indian route, be sure to look into the dealer network. I have 250,000 miles under my belt. Got rid of the HD, the Indian, the honda, the Kawasaki... yea !BMW GS, least problems with this one. Best of luck and God Bless!
Miss SD Sturgis Rally. Was out there last yr during 4th July to Billings, MT to visit my daughter (miss her immensely!). Great relationship with Max ,you have a wonderful son. Definitely as Max put it ride after the rally or before. Glad Miss Alice is running for you, Rich, & happy belated birthday 🎉! Those are some amazing roads! ... Chris, all good, being emotional is only showing you are human BIG 🤗. "WindSister", totally understand I am without my "Spirit" due to clutch cable breakage and no replacement till Sept.6. Love this video Chris and Rich it has lifted my Spirits until I get to ride again. Peace and Positivity 🏍👍☺️
your lucky. my ecm went out a month ago, Harley can't find it or doesn't have it and not only did I miss Sturgis I missed my whole west tour because of it. Harley pins your Vin # to the ecm/ bcm so you can just go find one, install and go you have to go though Harley and they dont f$%ing have one.ive been riding Harleys for 45 years and I will never buy another one. they can't support the shit they sell.
That’s a real bummer. I guess I got lucky
@@TwoWheelsBigLife it always sucks but I've got no warranty either. I'm stuck at home but.... its Ohio!!! haha
WTF,, just pay for your own trips. Thats why I dont sub to anyone..
There would be a lot few channels. Thanks for watching though
Wow! i should have finished the video before commenting. My mistake! That's great on the warranty work! Hat's off to Harley! I got to that section of the video about the problem and I just felt really bad for you. Stopped watching and was just putting myself in that position for facing a large repair bill. I am genuinely so happy for you!
Loved "Hey mama, can I borrow your bike". He's adorable.
If you want to be crashed into by some foot dragging weekend rider then go to sturgis lol
Definitely some there for sure
The Black Hills are a lot more fun when the rally is not going on. Just like Max said. We spent a week out there a few years ago and it was one my my favorite places in the country.
Did you stay at camp 5? If not where did you camp?.
We stayed at the Sturgis View campground
Thanks for not saying Vanocker Canyon Road,it’s my favorite.
I'll be sure not mention the Vanocker canyon Rd. 🤣🤣
It was the road you were on when you went and got groceries in Rapid.By the by,there is a nice Dakota Mart right in Sturgis.
How cool to ride with your son !! I rode with my father all over this country. He is now 74 and has slowed down !! Enjoy the time !!
Yes for sure. Cheers my dad wanted to do this but didn’t get the chance.
Ask Red Beard how he likes his 1800.
😁 I told them.
Great video. Bob and I were there in 2012 a couple weeks after Sturgis. Bob has been a couple of times during the rally. Not my thing with the crowds. They are beautiful roads. I remember the Buffalo quite well 🙂. Happy BD Rich. It was nice to see your son Max. And I am glad Miss Alice made it through yet another adventure. Stay safe out there. 👍
Sorry to hear about the Harley letting you down again. Sounds like you should have more dependability going forward which should give you the time you need to make long-term plans….. fingers crossed.
I think so. I think the ECM has been reeking havoc on the previous Stators also.
Goldwing...goldwing...goldwing..😬
@@edwardfaris8516 ….. yeah. I certainly love my GL1800. I have only owned her for six weeks now and have taken her on several out of state trips already. Just damn near bulletproof! But I also love my old Harley who has been faithful (and dependable) to me for nearly 20 years.
@@wingandhog I have a harley and a gl1800...the harley is fun..but for distance and no fuss travel it's the wing all the way..
@@edwardfaris8516 … totally agree! No comparison
Ah youth! I miss it soooo much! My 27 yo Sonny looks @ me like I'm kah-razy! But we all don't get it when we're young, right? BTW, I'm 68, prolly never get to Sturgis now, unless I fly there. Good travels, you two!!
another awesome video....topped off with the legend himself..Mr Scooter Tramp Scotty... a living legend he is,..with a plethora of knowledge regarding this thing we call life.... the perspective he has gained on society over the years is PRICELESS.... also priceless is sharing smiles and the Sturgis experience with your son.....!!!! ride safe y'all..!!!!
Another great ride video. Max is correct, if you want to do the rides around Sturgis, go two weeks before or two weeks after. Can't wait for Hwy. 2 video. I did it from Michigan to Idaho a few years ago. That's where I learned to carry extra fuel. Keep up the great work.
Start of the Mississippi river? Itasca State Park in Minnesota.
Yes it is.
Positive people are contagious to me , thank you for being peace keepers ...😊
You are living my dream life. I love watching your videos and they make me so excited to retire next year and get on the road. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jacque
Yo Chris, I'm with your son do Sturgis a couple of weeks after the rally. Love the video.. Was Redbeard wearing an Aerostitch ? You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up.
yes he was wearing a Aerostitch.
Did you end up in North Cascade National Park? I think I saw you guys going the other direction.
No the fires were too much. We headed to the great river road.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I'm glad I didn't turn around and chase them down to say hello then....it was a Harley pulling a trailer followed by a GS
Gee that bike hadn't been the most reliable Rich. Hopefully it's all good now👍
Great vid as always👍
Another great episode. I look forward to watching these each week. Glad Miss Alice got taken care of hope she gives you many more miles a head. I think I would be overwhelmed at Sturgis, but enjoyed seeing it from your point of view. Ride safe!
It’s is overwhelming. Lots of people and sounds Everywhere
It sucks when you are having bike problems, I am in the same place right now. Great to see your son join you. Looks like a good time was had by all. Thanks for the great video.
oh , so u did go to sturgis>> hmm u must have went west thn back east? hmm
Yes yes we did.
This was the best sturgis video period...
Great video!
Such a great thing getting max involved.
Thanks. I took his big brother to the 75th
That's the one reason I will NEVER own a fuel injected motorcycle ESPECIALLY A HARLEY-DAVIDSON. I only want the simplicity of an Evolution and with a good cam and tune it's going to have plenty of power for 2 up riding with gear. I just wish my bike was a Softail versus Dyna although the Dyna will probably handle more weight without as many upgrades. I expect any of my 1100's would handle towing a trailer or just 2 up riding with plenty of gear.
Happy Birthday Mr Richard. You mite want to look into a Honda F6B. You can pick up a solid used one with low miles - and it will pull that trailer / camper with ease. Just came back from a 3 wk x country trip myself. And, my 2013 F6B just hit 70K miles. Tires/tyres, brakes, oil changes are still the only service ever needed. Just my .02. Keep having BIG FUN.
I’m still loving my Ms Alice.
Happy Birthday, Richard! ... so glad the repairs were covered. Hi,Max, from Maryland
Rich. i have a 2014 indian for sale i know. it would pull that trailer just fine.
I think this will be a cool channel to watch and follow
We think so too! 😂😊. Welcome
How many miles are on that road glide of yours?
Me Alice has 90k
One day, I would enjoy riding up to enjoy the Sturgis rally. It gets disconcerting when I hear people on You Tube say, "If you go, be prepared to spend upwards of $4K-$7K. Others have gone on to say that they've spent nearly $10K for the week they were there. Well, if I do go in the future. I'd probably stay for 3 days max. Long way back to the pacific coast. Great info you guys have given, enjoy your travels and be safe!!
I see a Pan American as the new Ms Alice .
