You don’t get the shop and the garage we share it all
I think I should block this comment… she’s overstepping already!
Wait… let me get my popcorn ready.
Seriously though, I’m happy for you both. I think it’s great! Love the cabin! Reminds me of home.
Actually, I would take the property over a new bike too!
Congratulations!
@@sparkyastwo thank you!
@@sparkyastwo 🤣🤣🍿
There's a simple reason I'm not buying one I can't afford one. Will never be able to buy another new Harley in my life that's for sure be lucky if I can keep the repairs up on mine
Congratulations on the house, and thank you for being so genuine. On the rare occasion, you feel like you are friends with a TH-camr because of their authenticity. You are one of those people. Hope you get the bike you want when the time is right
Thank you so much!!
Im a little baffled by all the other youtubers getting brand new bikes from harley. I stopped watching them because i just cant relate to them and their reviews of products only for the 2024 models.
Im more than happy with my 2019 electra glide.
Well, I definitely like the 2024’s and think they’re a better value than they have been in the previous years taking into account everything you’re getting as far as the base price now. I can’t blame anybody for upgrading. I probably would myself but it’s important to know, these content creators aren’t being given bikes they are paying for them. Harley cannot sell direct to a consumer so they have to go through a dealership to purchase them. They may be getting a discount that’s between them and the dealer.
I noticed the same thing and it seemed a little weird. I wondered if they were really spending their own cash on these new Harleys or if Harley was making deals with them to help promote the product.
It’s an arms race. Aftermarket development teams are racing to unlock the new ecms so they can begin selling compatible product. That is why everyone is buying 2024s imo.
@@AceAlaska wouldn’t this be reason to hold out on buying 2024’s then? Buy a ‘25 or even a ‘26 model to allow Harley the time to smooth out kinks and aftermarket suppliers to catch up.
I agree, I am currently editing my own video about the 2024s...I love the new street glide, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger on a new one. The big youtubers just go and get them given to them which is great for them but I'm not there to buy a new bike all the time.
Oh and I'm currently look at an Ultra '19.
Congrats Mike! I would do the exact same thing! Your home is most important!
You can always buy a toy… they’ll be plenty to choose from!
Circumstances suck but glad you were able to keep the property in the family!
This looks like a perfect place to grow old, congratulations! Can't wait to see your space all set up. Enjoy your content as always, don't work to hard and keep us updated 😊
Good luck Mike with the new place ! Looks and sounds exciting!
Thanks man
I've seen your videos a couple of times, but this one checked all the real-world boxes. Keep up the good work!
Wow, thanks!
I definitely agree. Mike is human… a super hero in my eyes, but he made it real.
Hey Man Mountain Mike, I’m really happy for y’all. I really like the wood look on the inside of your new house…a lot!
I would snatch up a 2024 model if I were you. I saw HD just came to an agreement with their labor union for a 25% salary increase over the next 5 years. Well, you know what that means, price increases on the 25, 26, 27… models. 30K on a new bike is a lot of bank but they are not going to get any cheaper Bro.
That’s all I have for now. Y’all peace out and I’m out for now. Plan to see y’all at the Freedom Rally.
Congratulations on the new place and thanks for showing us around. The new bikes are great but it sounds like you have your priorities in check. Well done sir.
Thanks Ty!!
Congrats Mike!!!
Congrats on the new place, looks pretty awesome. Bike can wait they are not going anywhere. The home is the most important and you and Firecracker can make it your on just the way you guys want it. Happy for you both, glad to hook up with you a couple weeks ago really enjoyed it. Stay safe and enjoy your new place.
Congrats on the new home and this next chapter for you and firecracker.
Thanks for the video, looking forward to some dyna rides and eventually seeing your new bike.
Shiny side up.
Thanks 👍
Congratulations on your new place guys, looks great. Be safe.
Congratulations to the both of you. Keeping property in the family is super important…That new Harley will be there at the right time. Blessings
I totally understand about your lifestyle brother passing. My older sister passed away a couple of months ago. She was the first person that I wanted to show my new/used bike. Well, she is with me. Just not in the flesh. But you do have a nice house and garage.
LOVE this video. I just bought a 2024 Road Glide blacked out. White Onyx Pearl. I can see your point and reason. Hope you get one soon! Great priorities my friend. It will all work out
Love those colors together.
Thanks for sharing, love your new home, it's fantastic; and special to ya'll! Appreciate your honesty. I too would like a new bike, but it ain't in the budget and I'm ok with that.
Congratulations man! Awesome.
Thanks!!
Congrats on your new home. Ride hard, ride safe!
Beautiful home Brother. The bike can definitely wait.
Congratulations Mike!
Congratulations on the new place Mike!! I love the Barndaminium style house!!
Me too!
Congrats on building a future for you and yours. Hope to talk with you later. Still making plans for bikefest at Lake Ozarks. Figuring best route to get there. Much love and respect for you and your family.
Thank you, watch for details, but I should be doing a meet and greet during bike fest on Saturday
Great news, congratulations
Congrats!
That's awesome news. Congratulations on the new crib.
Thank you
Congrats Mike!!! Sucks about the brother in law but happy for the start of your new home adventure/shop and office!! Enjoy!
Thanks
I’m brand new to the channel so let me first start by saying congratulations on your marriage. Terribly sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Also congratulations on the new house in the shop. I’m now subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Best of luck. Awesome opportunity. I wish you guys the best.
The new place looks nice, lots of space. Congratulations, enjoy.
Thank you!
Congratulations on the house! I'm sorry it's under the circumstances but, it'll stay in the Family. Ride safe!
Looks like a great home. Make it your own brother. Just a matter of getting settled in and adjusted. Great garage for editing and working on the bikes. 🤙✌️
Thanks buddy
That s a beautiful place, I’m happy for you and your family.
Thanks so much! I’m excited
Congratulations on the house I know y’all are excited
Thank you, we are!
Congrats I'm jealous love the shop.
I do too
Congrats on your marriage and your home! I absolutely appreciate your channel and all your reviews, life can be cruelly short, I try to enjoy every day, looks like you do the same, I love my 21 FLHX, ive done a ton to it, and although the 24’s are impressive, im sitting tight for know, can’t wait to see your next move, ride safe!
Thank you very much. If My bike was one or two years old It would be a lot harder decision but with eight years and 70+ thousand miles on it. I’m feeling like it might be time for change.
Congrats to you and your bride! Enjoy your new place Brother!
Good for you and your wife! Great looking property
Thanks 👍
Hello Mike, your videos are very well received, you must be a professional at videos, and I really like them. Recently I bought a 2022 Street Glide special, I went from a 2019 Street Glide standard I was going to buy a new 2024 Street Glide but after hearing about all the problems they were having I decided to get a 2022 sg special
I had zero issues in 600 miles, on this one and have only seen one audio issue that a fix has been sent out for. What issues are you hearing?
@@RidingintheOzarks mostly software issues and ECM
Sorry for brother in laws passing. Maybe you have some HD operatives and can help answer the question regarding my favorite Touring Model - the Ultra Limited’s and its future. Do you know when it will be upgraded with the 117 and the Street Glides tech? Will it still have the lowers on the front engine guards for wind / weather protection and storage since the radiator moved on the Street Glide? I currently have a 2020 Ultra, but want to holdout for a new upgraded Ultra. Thanks for any insight.
I have already asked and they will not comment on future products… I have a theory I have been thinking about making a video on…
Congratulations on the new home. Enjoy! Priorities !
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations on the new home the bike will come. I let the commercials run all the way through. I hope that helps best of luck.!
Thank you and it does lol!
Congratulations on the new home. You got your priorities right. The bike can wait.
Yes! Thank you!
The place looks great Mike !!!
Thanks
congratulations on your new house.
Looking great
Thanks!
Congratulations on the new home. As great as it would be to have everything you want, there is glory in the process and family first is a great priority to have. I hope you’re able to get your new bike soon enough but trading it off for a house is never a bad deal. Congrats once again, I wish you a lifetime of memories in that house!
You are correct, that exactly what I paid for my 2024 Road Glide for all of your reasons, I wanted black trim and I have the Alpine Green which didn’t come from factory with black trim so Harley made it happen for me. I appreciate it cause the green only came with chrome trim.
I love the bike with all the upgrades
It's ok Mike just seen wheels in motion ..... congrats on your home
I got to test ride them a few weeks ago and while they are a big upgrade from the out going models I'm not getting one till they do some sort of electronic suspension. It doesn't hold a candle to my bmw rt
Renegade Harley Davidson is a great dealership. Glad you are visiting Springfield more.
Me too! I’m looking forward to working with them even more in the future.
Your reasons are valid 👍 don't get influenced get one when you are ready not when everyone is rushing to get one, next year's change might be better? For me I am holding out for what they will do with the roadking special next year 👍
I have those mufflers with the zombbie baffels on my 24 road glide. They do sound very nice!
Congratulations Mike your still riding. The rest will come.😎
I made the leap and purchased a 2024 Street Glide black and chrome. New sub. here, I totally get your delay on the bike purchase. Sounds like you have your priorities in order. Just my 2 cents on the new bike. Im 68 and not tech-savvy at all. But I found the new infotainment system to be great and not as big a learning curve as I expected. I love having apple carplay for a majority of reasons. Im old school but at my age the large digital gauges are so much easier to see and I love being able to change the display setup. The bike rides butter smooth, the stock suspension is so much better no need to change it, liquid cooled heads are so much cooler on my legs, so no need to add cool fans, new lighting on the bike is great, no need to add additional lights for turn signals ect. RDRS is worth every dime, enough said. I just added docking hardware, saddlebag guards, changing the windshield and thats it. This is the best stock Harley Ive purchased, zero issues with the bike to date. Looking foward to several long trips planned this year, nothing left to do but put down some miles. Also, wIth Harley lowering the prices this yr, seemed like a good time to make the jump. I have no purchase regrets! Great content, glad I found your channel.
Congrats! Nice house. 👍
Thank you!
When the time is right,you’ll know 👍👍
Thinking imma buy that ‘24 Road Glide when the ‘25s come out
I've had black on my last 2 - the forks can chip, however - so something to think on. There are companies that make clear covers for that (Cruz Armor, I think?). Also - the rocker covers in black get milky - again - had that with my last two.
Thanks for sharing 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and commenting, ride safe
Mike - makes complete sense. Whether it’s a new 2024 or maintaining what you have….
As far as the new bikes go, they are well worth it if someone has the means. It’s a HUGE improvement.
I have a2020 RKS 131 engine I will stay with it
Congratulations.
Agree with you. I just got my blue road glide and got it black trim. I like chrome and all my upgrades will be chrome, but from factory it was too much chrome
Congratulations
It does sound good
On the white glide what seat is that?
It is from HD and part of the new ST package, Switchback Touring Seat - Red Stitch
Congratulations on the Homestead. It's going to be gorgeous when you're finished.
I had to wait and close on my new house last month to get the new 2024 road glide too. Closed on the house and a week later I bought a new road glide blue burst and black trim.
Congrats on Both, I love the Blue....
@@RidingintheOzarks was a hard debate between the white and blue. Ultimately I went with the blue as it reminded me of my father’s bikes growing up. He had several blue bikes as it is his favorite color. Hope your house closing goes smoothly for you. Mine was a pain lots of hurdles but I made it through in the end and was able to close. Can’t wait to see ya on a new 24 model!
Separate question,which baffles were in those bamsticks? How were they on the highway? My concern being I like good sound at acceleration but highway cruising not so much
I will try and get an answer on baffles but I have a full video with more riding coming soon!
They are Bam Sticks wirh Xombie baffles. Do you ride with a helmet that covers your ears? I was on this trip and they were loud but not terrible, i used my cardo for calls and communications with no issues.
Smart choice
CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you
I want a Road King Special so bad but they're only $1k less than Street & Road Glide which have 117 motors and a ton more with fairing speakers infotainment etc. I just don't understand their pricing logic with the Road King!? I feel like it should be the affordable entry bagger in the lineup since it's stripped down and it should be like $19,599 not $24,999! Also it's the same bike for several years and prior years was like $22,999 so why the extra $2k msrp when it's a carryover model!? No dealerships have it in stock cuz obviously nobody is buying them and dont wanna waste a single plot for it but they have tons of street & road glides every color so it seems like they're intentionally sabotaging the Road King Special to sell more Glides. $20k is alot for a bike but $25k + all fees reg etc is out of reach for me.
Sounds like very real reasons to me. Let’s not forget it wouldn’t be a Harley if you didn’t have to customize it after buying it. Congratulations and good luck with your new plans.
What was the brand and name of the pipes?
Bam sticks from Tab performance
I also had the same dislike for the red/orange coloring on the tank badging I thought I was being "picky" but it just doesnt look right to me. I wonder who at HD thought that would be a great look? Again it would have been proactive for the HD designers to ask the millions of HD fans about what they preferred as far as badging and other modifications to imrpove the HD motorcyle brand. I think subtle bagding speaks louder then big HD orange coloring emblems on clothing and hats and other accesories.
It is not just you, imo. They do use some focus group type marketing but this one misses the mark for me.
Godliness with contement is great gain) Have 2010 roadglide just rolled 100000miles ,if we buy one then we haft to work more.
Nice house 🏠 congratulations.
Thank you so much 😀
Yea I don’t know either but maybe if you was wanting a M8 maybe but however HD is going to eventually change it all not sure of what that might be but a all different motor is coming and it’s going to run a lot off so get ready
I don’t understand the mentality of constant upgrade and buying the latest flashy model. Harley’s are endlessly rebuildable. Older Harley’s have a cool factor that the new bikes don’t. I’ll never sell my 2019 FLSB. I did add a 2021 48 to the stable and it’s amazing. I love doing short (weekend long) tours on it. Sure it’s not so comfortable as the Sport Glide, but there is an amazing sense of achievement of putting down several thousand kilometres on it. A home of your own is way more important than any bike, put your time and money into that for the next couple of years.
Congratulations on your new property and good luck with your man cave
Thank you!
At least you have enough sense to know a new motorcycle is something you want but not something you need.
Oh, I need a motorcycle. It just doesn’t have to be a new one. A new one is a want not a need.
Man, you got to get your priorities right and you're doing right. I can't believe how otherhard working YTubers with young families are buying the 2024s for the sake of 'keeping up with the Jones' after having spent so much on accessorising their previous ride - I do wonder the last time they took the family on a you-beaut holiday - perhaps to Europe (imagine what their kids are missing out on).
I think for some of the larger channels it as much a business decision as anything else and I respect that, when you’re full-time, it is your business to make content and the new 2024 are definitely something many people are interested in me. My parents never took me to Europe and I never took my kids and I don’t feel like I’m missing a thing, but I guess you don’t know what you don’t know.
@@RidingintheOzarksYes, I agree. I just used Europe as an example. My parents took me to Italy when I was 10 years old and it was amazing and I remember so much stuff 50+ years on. When my children were in their early teens they wanted to do a tour of Europe. We couldn't really afford it at the time but we went anyway as it was unlikely that we would have another opportunity. The experience is invaluable and both daughters have gone back as adults because the culture and history and sites are wonderful and interesting. Just saying.
You will get one just when you are ready my guy
A very good reason to wait, you can't buy it if you have no place to keep it, besides the price might drop, hopefully.
I’m keeping my 2019 ultra limited. One reason is I like the hydraulic clutch .cant beat that smoothness of a hydraulic. Second I don’t like all the crap they’re putting on the new bikes . Especially the new display.this will be my last Harley I’ll ride it till it drops then I’ll rebuild and do it all over again .
I’m not happy with the direction the brands headed. VVT, and too many electrical issues for me to upgrade. I went with the 2024 road glide limited because I know it’s tried and tested to be reliable.
Saw a 2024 at my local dealership and when I opened the lid on one of the saddlebags, there was a lot of overspray everywhere on the inside. Very sloppy for such an expensive bike. I’ll keep my 2023, overall fit and finish seems better
That’s not typical from what I have seen
Have you or are you considering a new 2024 Harley Davidson Touring Model? Street Glide or Road Glide?
I swapped my 23 Low Rider ST for a new 24 Road Glide in Blue Burst over black. Originally I was shopping for a Blue Burst Street Glide over Chrome but on the test ride of both bikes I found the Road Glide worked stock for me. I lowered the bars a bit, just loosen the two bottom bolts and they move easily, and added a back rest. It really is impressive how they feel so different from the 23 models from handling to just motor behavior.
To be totally honest, I never noticed the tank badge even on the Chrome models and I found myself walking out to the garage to look at it.
Purely personal opinion here, I think the Street Glide looks better in Chrome than the Road Glide and the Road Glide looks better in black. Since you enjoyed some good hours on the Road Glide is there a reason not to just go that route? I certainly had no plans on owning one but after riding both it is what I am on.
Isn’t the color on the tank badge orange? That’s what it looks like on mine anyway… and I dont mind. The heated grips are black with orange stripes which kinda go with the tank badge. 😂. I went with the green and chrome 24 RG. The chrome really makes the green pop. I also added $20k in upgrades… my first HD and it will be one of a kind. It’s been at the dealer a month… I’ve already made the first payment… and the final part (2 into 1 Khrome Werks) is supposed to ship this week and then I’ll pick it up.
I am going to do a video on it but short answer is I still prefer the Street Glide, reasons to come in a video
Congrats and it maybe a redish orange... but it really bugs me on the blue bike.
@@RidingintheOzarks I hear ya. It would bug me on a blue bike too… but orange on green doesn’t. I went with the RG because I prefer the fixed fairing over the batwing. Both 24 models in the green chrome I got look amazing though.
I'm on my 6th Harley I have a 18 Road King Special and love it except I have to worry about the oil pump going bad even though it hasn't yet but many people have had it go bad on them and Harley should step up and recall it but they don't. That's why I'll never buy a new Harley again I will only buy used from now on and use the extra money to upgrade it to my liking. If Harley doesn't stop inflating their bikes and stop making people pay extra for upgrades they will eventually come to their demise. U already have 3 nice bikes in your garage u should just be thankful for that and focus on your new home purchase. Good luck.
FYI, one of those is my wife's ride, secondly I hear this about the oil pump and I am sure there is some truth to it but I don't personally know a single person that had mechanical issues because of it, if the problem was bad enough they would have to do a recall, enjoy the Road King it is a fun bike and ride safe.
When do we get to meet Smoak? 😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed the video. May I make a suggestion about your new shop and man cave garage. Insulate, Insulate, Insulate You will thank me in the future. Ask me how I know.
The shop walls have foam board and plywood already for the walls but I might add more insulation to it over time. What do you recommend for the garage?
@@RidingintheOzarks Where I made My mistake, I loaded up my shop with all my equipment. It is very difficult to add insulation and electrical later because everything is in the way. Do your improvements now when it is easy to get to.
Congrats! That’s not a man cave! That’s a studio for an awesome platform!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Why dont Pig Trail HD put a price tag on their bikes?
All the bikes I have seen with gloss black front forks with high highway millage will have a lot of pitting. The brushed metal holds up a lot better.
Thanks! I know a MSRP dealer that won’t put tag on because they can get fined from HD for advertising a price under MSRP and Harley has raised MSRP mid year then got after dealers for the advertised price being below MSRP…
Like to have a new one . But its not practical for me to spend 32000 for a blue bike with black exhaust . Because the dealer i live by they charge about 4000 in fees etc. I also live in missouri. Kansas city . Just letting you know not all dealerships are the same !! Congratulations on the house purchase.
I know, I would travel to another dealer, we are coming that way in July for Thunder at the Speedway
A home is more important and you have to prioritize your needs. The bike will come but ensure wife is comfortable and happy first.
Yeah here in Michigan I had three friends that Quint and went back to family businesses because they can't sell bikes right now because the banks consider a Harley-Davidson or motorcycles a toy and these banks are closing between 9 and sometimes even 11% interest rate on top of an already high ass bike and these people are ending up with like $650 to 750 payments... and now I'm seeing on the TV because inflation went up another 2 to 3% the government's on the border of raising it again another 1% and stabilize the economy... and now gas is going back up who the hell is going to have any money for toys
you’re gonna regret getting rid of that last year made twin cam. don’t do it
