Wuddya think... More Motovlog Mondays??
More HerTwoWheels? Yes please!
We all want to see more of Jess!!! 😂❤👍👏🏻🙏🏻
Yes please if it's not too much work
The variety mix that you like to do. It is your channel. What you enjoy transfers through. 😎
Yep. It’s what you built the channel from. The human element will always attract viewers. It’s what we are wired to do.
Pick a dealer 1k miles away, schedule service, plan a trip. Ride.
Nice idea, Except you are supposed to vary RPMs and loads and speed a fair amount in those first break in miles 🤔
@amasdaha9734 so take back roads and not highways, and take a couple days to get there. No need for an Iron Butt. Take a week to get there and go 100 miles a day. Sight see etc.
just an oil change.
@@joekool4my thoughts as well. I would gladly do that back roads ride loop for a long 4 day weekend.
I’ve always just rode like I would normally ride for the break in period and never had an issue…
I am 57. When I was in my early twenties I rode rice rockets. At 25, I met my wife and she told me no more bikes. Mainly because she could not ride due to back issues. On my 56th birthday she lost her fight with cancer. I lost my wife and best friend. So on my 57th birthday I bought a 2019 Road Glide. Her name is Shilo, my wife's internet name.
AWWW 🥹
Sorry for your loss,
Sorry for loss
I can’t imagine how hard that must have been and is still to this day. I sure hope you can fine some joy on the new bike. I know I do. Best wishes.
😢my deepest sympathies ❤
After riding for 42 years, medical issues shut me down. One thing I learned in those years was to ride for me. Not anyone else. You keep riding for you. Ride what and how you want to. I really enjoy your channel and look forward to following along on your adventures.
The break-in period is true for most brand new motorcycles, and definitely for Harleys. I LOVE your Pan American Jess, treat it nice by a good break-in period and it will treat you nice in kind! CONGRATULATIONS on a great new bike!
I had a travel trailer.. it was a lot of work... so now I'm back to tent camping and I love it
I traded my 2022 RoadGlide Limited for a 2024 CVO Pan America . I needed a bike with on/off road capabilities for my new homestead in the White Mountains. I absolutely luv it . A 950 LB Limited has no business on dirt / gravel roads . I don’t miss the 300 lbs extra heft of the Roadglide and the 150 HP of the Pan America is epic !
Nice!
Motovlog Mondays are nice. 👍🏻. It was almost two weeks since I rode after working all day just didn’t feel like riding in the 90 degree heat. Saturday was a perfect day to ride, so many bikes out only in the middle 70’s, did over 200 miles just riding around Ohio. I’d be fine if it stayed like this the rest of the summer.
Totally agree
Quality human being + quality bike + quality camera = high quality vlogs. Mondays? Do what you want, I'll watch all the vlogs you post, regardless of day.
I love the undertones of no fucks given and frustration with a little bit of anger. It’s a new twist but I like it
Ironically, I was in a great mood while filming 😂
@@HerTwoWheels Even so, the way things are going with the world these days, even the best days are filled with frustration and reaching a point of being realistically blunt. I found it amusing because it’s not the normal you in the video which I found funny. Made my day better hearing you call it how it is rather than appeasing people
This 😂
I don't think the Panam is a mistake, then I have a 2022 Special in army green, that I brought in March 2023 and I love it. I have had a few small issues, with the starter clutch needing to be replaced and recently the alternator failed (the bike would still run but kept cutting out). Fortunately HD fitted the 2024 upgrade kit under warrantee.
I see mine as an all roads sports tourer, more than a dirt road bike. I have taken it on off road trails, but it is very heavy and wears you out pretty fast. I did motocross and enduro in the 1990's, and I need all of those skills to ride it over rough terrain.
I did an ADV riding course to refresh my skills, and I dropped the bike 3 times during that training, the only scratches were on the crash bars.
The tech on it is just amazing, you can customize the ride modes so easily and make it feel completely different.
I have fitted luggage, bigger foot pegs, and I fitted the standard pegs on the crash bars so I can pivot them down to use them as highway pegs but not destroy them when I fall on dirt.
I also adjusted the forks, so they are flush with the top of the fork clamps, this lifts the front end slightly, slow the steering and makes handling on loose dirt better.
I run the low tinted screen, with a tinted deflector on top, not angled up but back at 45 degs, and I have no buffeting around my helmet, and it still keeps the wind off my chest and shoulders on the high setting. I don't like the higher screen, I get too much turbulence around the bottom of the helmet.
Just got back from Sturgis with mine. It was a 4300 mile round trip. The Pan America did flawless. I think you're going to love it.
I'm with you as far as your attitude about off-road riding. For me, it's the delight that if the pavement ends, the ride doesn't have to. Also, I enjoy this type of video, the sort of one-on-one conversation-style production. Simple is better, IMO, especially since, when we're riding, there's no fanfare and no drama, (we hope). It's a ride, and it's what we do, and it doesn't need to be turned into a massive production to be enjoyable. Stay safe out there. :)
The Pan American is a great bike, but after riding my neighbor's `23 model I knew it wasn't the right bike for me. Nothing notably wrong with the bike, I just knew I wanted something a little smaller. My past two bikes (Yamaha Roadstar 1700 and Kawasaki Concours 14) were both big heavy bikes, and I wanted to get back to something lighter and more nimble in the 600-900cc range. Ended up going with the Honda Transalp XL750 and absolutely love it. It checked all my boxes other than cruise control and tubeless wheels, but those are both easily fixed via the aftermarket. Already added the Veridian cruise control, now I'm just saving up for a set of VMX tubeless wheels.
And yes, up until the last week or so it's been crazy hot here in Ohio.
Absolutely! Test rides are SO important!
Congratulations on reaching your goal. I was the same way. I wanted a Harley Davidson bagger. My first motorcycle was 2002 CVR R 600cc, then a 2000 Vulcan 800, then I finally got my current 2012 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I love it. She is heavy, but she is paid for, and she takes me everywhere with a smile. She was my goal.
Yes, continue with Motovlog Mondays, it's a great to keep us updated on what you're doing.
You shouldn't have a problems racking up the miles before your first service.
Looking for forward to seeing you & Stevie at the next Pan America Owners Ride.
i havent figured out a name for my ride...I am going to Ocean City, MD Bike fest for the first time in september. Last August I had a Stroke @ 55 years old and had to trade my adventure bike in because it was too heavy for me after. I bought a Can Am trike which i love and ride it more than i did the Adv bike. I do miss 2 wheels, but love 3 wheels. It kept me in the wind and wanting to get out and ride more than ever! Love your channel, so yes on moto mondays from me!
i really think if you research enclosed cargo trailers you would find that you can customize them to your specific needs. it seems painfully clear that you need to be able to transport your bikes at times. you can get a smaller trailer, that are made so much better than a camper, you can insulate it easily, put shelves in it for camping gear, put an AC\ heater on the roof a couple of solar pannels for charging cameras , a fold down bed...ect. ( look at some you tube channels on this, ) they are so versitile and light weight and make a perfect base to operate from. I love mine , weather im tent camping with iy or staying at a motel, i have ALL my gear, tools, extra tires and even a mini fridge with freezer . ( i dont have solar panels but have it wired to plug in , cause i usually camp with power.. i dont have windows in mine , because i wanted to be able to keep it very secure and i dont sleep in it. i keep a nice stand up 4 person tent and cot and large comfortable chairs in it all secured with e-track on the walls while towing. i think your husband would enjoy the design and building process also. jmho.... you can tow an all alluminum trailer with just about ANY truck.
Thanks Jess, sharing your feelings off your cuff and from your heart as ever. Been following you for about 3 years, including your one night camp outs etc!! Keep sharing and stay positive, stress of something unusual, can upset your rhythm. You go girl, kick A##! I haven't even watched the video, just first 3 mins LOL!
Hi Jess. I've been riding baggers for years, and earlier this year picked up a used Pan America Special. Its a blast to ride. I'm tall and older than you, so I struggle a little with the position. I took a course similar to your Rawhide experience, then took off to ride a trail called the RimRocker from Moab, UT to Montrose, CO. I was ill prepared for a trail like that on a bike as big as the PA. There was one section that was way beyond my technical capabilities, and I forgot to turn traction control off (a necessity at times and a pain to do every time you stop the bike on the PA). So, let me say (1) I love my PA for riding, (2) a bike this size requires a lot of skill on technical terrain that takes time to develop, and (3) learn when to use or turn off the user safety features like traction control - they can get you hurt on technical terrain. On mine I was on a steep technical rocky climb and the rear wheel needed to spin, but I had forgotten at a stop to turn off the TC so it shut the bike down in the middle of a climb and almost sent me off a cliff....Same thing will happen at a water crossing if not careful. Turn off TC or you're probably going swimming. Have fun, ride safe, and keep making your content. Its obviously enjoyed by many.
There's an 80-ish old guy here in Central Illinois who rode his Pan American to the Pacific Ocean last year but had to haul ass back to take his yearly state mandated road test.
Illinois requires any riders over the age of 75 to take a yearly road test to renew their license.
Said he failed the test when he forgot how tall the Pan American is.
So he had to take the retest on his Ducati Multi Strata.
He passed it on the Ducati.
Oddly, he rides it mostly in rain mode, cuts the 150 hp back.
It's 100lbs lighter than my Dyna and twice the horsepower.
I understand why Jess bought one.
The Pan American is the first Harley I've ever seen with a center stand.
The $29,000 price tag makes me swallow my tongue.
The mechanics at my local Springfield (Illinois) dealer said the early ones had stator issues.
But that's all fixed now.
Have a ball on Stevie, Jess.
I’ve been watching since the first episode aired since I saw her on shade trees channel. I like these riding videos like this. I would like to see when bike Vlogger stop into local places like local restaurants or historical places, museums things you find on the side of the road, I think that’s pretty neat.
Awesome! Thank you!
So happy "YOU ARE BACK!!!"
No one can chat candidly like you Jess. I just find you interesting and intelligent and feel as though you are chatting directly to me.
I am in the UK but lived in USA for 26 years so appreciate your ability to chit chat.
My motorcycle is called Gia, after the model Gia Maria Carangie. Love the names you have chosen for all of yours.
Thank you for having the courage to be a leader not a follower.
Lots of love and best wishes PJ (Pauline). Xxx
With Harley breaking away from being US built bikes and starting to move production overseas, what's your outlook on it?
The backlash at Sturgis was huge from what I've seen online.
Best of luck with the new bike, as others have said, schedule it for a service somewhere on the road in advance, or even do the oil change service yourself, and get the rest completed at a later date.
That's the thing with high powered, highly tuned, tight tolerance motors. They really need a nice break-in period to live a long and happy life, but once it's done I ride them like I stole 'em. 😂 Definitely jealous you picked that up, I love the Pan Am.
Oh, and do yourself a favor when you head offroad, bring a spare clutch and front brake lever. Ask me how I learned that lesson...
Congratulations on the new bike. The first 1000 will go faster than you think. I’m a fan of the pan am offering from HD and honestly any modern ADV bike. I ride a 2005 BMW r1200gs and plan to do so until she’s fully worn out.
I have a 2021 PAN Special brand new ordered before it even hit dealers and it is AWESOME! Getting new tires on it today. 10,000 trouble free miles in Colorado mountains and no issues on mine. Only been in the shop for services and I ride it hard.
I’m not sure how I came across your videos, but I’m glad I did.
You have a great perspective on riding the fact that you’ve only been riding for nine years is a testament to why you should always try riding different styles and different types of bikes.
This makes you a better Rider.
Your nine years of riding is more than most peoples lifetime of riding .
I’ve been riding for 41 years and I love your approach to riding.
We definitely need more women riders and more riders in general in the sport.
Keep doing what you’re doing. Love the videos.
I think you totally nailed it
Adventure, bikes, make great touring bikes. They have better suspension and typically better range than most touring bikes.
It comes down to bike fits you
You are never alone you are part of a huge rider community!
Had a 22' put it through it's paces on off road 3 months 5k miles, that's when the electrical gremlins surfaced. I have an Ultra Limited as well. I absolutely love the PAS much more comfortable than my UL. I'm buying another PAS next year for my Alaska trip. Keeping the UL wife doesn't like riding on PAS.
Your riding is therapeutic for me!
I named my bike “Norman”… like “Stormin’ Norman”!
I LOVE the variety of your videos. the cinematics of the Apls, the serenity of camping, and bitchin' on the back of a bike has to be my favorite. love this tone and shootin the shit!!!
It's Harley's best bike ..so if you gotta stay HD...then this is the one. Only HD I'd get, it's a fine competitor to other ADV and on road too. From a BMW person.
I think the Pan-American is a sweet looking bike. I think it was a good choice for you to buy one. I have four other Harleys right now, I could definitely see that or the Sportster S coming to my garage down the road. I’m a huge fan of that rev max engine.
I enjoy these videos of you riding and talking😊. I ride a 2004 Honda VTX 1300.
Having owned way too many motorcycles to count, I absolutely love my Pan America! It is my favorite bike and I’m so happy that you’re part of the Pan American community now!
2022 Goldwing Bagger, codename Blue Thunder. Named after a badass '80's Helicopter.
Also a motorcycle rider here in Ohio. I occasionally watch your videos and appreciate your perspective.
When it comes to TH-cam and social media and basically any content, I know how this all works where your titles and thumbnails are the only things people have to go off of to decide if they’re gonna click on something.
Sometimes things are clickbait and the piece of content delivers so clickbait makes sense when that happens. It pulls people in and they feel like they got what they signed up for. And sometimes the title and/or thumbnail gets someone to click and after 20 minutes, the viewer feels like nothing in the video answers the question or talks about the main point of the title or thumbnail.
“Boy do I wish I knew this when buying my Pan America…”
I think people thought you were gonna say “I wish I knew this feature sucked, or that the bike has these issues, or that it’s so expensive to do this or that with this bike, or…”
Maybe I missed what you wished you knew. I watched the video in full once. Then I watched it again skipping around. Maybe you wish you knew more off-roading skills? Maybe you wish you knew people were gonna keep asking you why you bought a Pan America? Maybe you wish you knew that it had a 1,000 mile break in period? Not sure.
No hate or negative criticism, just a genuine thought about this video and some of your dramatic titles. It gets clicks and the content is entertaining no matter what you make, but I’m sure some people think “She did not waste my time, I enjoy her thoughts, I like motorcycles too, this was fun to watch, I’m interested in her opinions and inner thoughts on these topics… but I don’t think I got the answers to the questions I had going into this video.”
I don’t know why I typed so many words to say what I said. Haha. Keep making cool shit and we’ll keep showing up to watch. Cheers!
The “BOY” part of the title should have been apparent sarcasm…
The whole video was about “Boy I wish I knew I had other options” HEAVY sarcasm.
I quite literally explain in the video why I bought the pan am very well knowing that there are other “adv” options out there.
Everyone will call it “click bait”
I call it “click entice”
Just because the topic ends up not being a viewers perceived does not mean the context is false or misleading.
It’s all perspective.
@@HerTwoWheels It is funny that everyone tells you that there are other ADV bikes out there. Clearly there are. People should have known that you knew that. Anyone into motorcycles would know. You had a Himalayan too, as do I. Seems normal to assume everyone into motorcycles or cars researches all makes and models. Should be assumed it was sarcasm I guess. Maybe some people think you only buy Harleys and have blinders on to other brands. Who knows. Appreciate the reply!
Not new Jess, been Watching for years! What you are having issues with is a serious consideration, i don't know why they dont run in an engine in before they sell it.
Anyhoos, so happy you got the Pan, i knew you would end up on one eventually.
1. you can stand up when you get a sore butt!
2. you do massive miles and this has all the bells and bleep bloops, doodabs, to make that comfortable.
3. You are a harley girl and thats all there is to it!
It wouldn't matter if there was a brand that was better, cause you are a harley girl, period.
Would still love to see you here, i have all the accommodation sorted for you in waikato, taranaki, Christchurch, queenstown, just buy your plane tickets, food and accommodation is free!
We are going to our first Rally in October, the Maggie Valley three wheel rally. Very excited.
McDonalds doesn't ask folks to let them know if they would like a Whopper... They can go to BK for that. They do what they do and people show up if they like it. Over the time I have watched your content, the most I have enjoyed are the times when you are simply taking me along for the ride. Reviews on things you use along the way can also be cool as most are practical and useful items. The things I have least enjoyed are the content that seems heavily sponsored and while putting on a smile and getting through it, you are less than thrilled. That is not to say I care to see you pretending to be thrilled either. Just imagine your audience is on a bike with you. Ups and downs are life. Sharing the adventures you enjoy is where it is at for me. Stick to your passion! 🙂
I got my last new Harley on a Friday morning and took it for a shake down cruise. I came back to the dealership on the following Monday for it's 1000 mile service. Needless to say the dealership was shocked as nobody had done that at their shop before. I told them I bought it to ride.
I have a similar experience. Purchased a 2023 Road Glide Limited, on day 1 wife and and I jumped on a road from Tucson to Santa Barbara. After 4 day weekend when right back to dealership with 1500 miles on it and smiles all around. Purchased to ride!
Yes to MotoVlog Mondays!
It’s a long ways from Ohio, but you should bring Stevie to Babes Ride in the Dirt in California! I myself am doing BRO Central Coast this year, my first moto camping experience!
Coincidentally, my current bike is named Knox; he’s a 2004 Fat Boy!
Love moto Mondays. My last bike was wicked red denim and his name was faux. The personalized tag said “FYAHH” from the dumbledore meme “HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FYAHHHH?!” I got a ‘24 that is sharkskin blue and its name is Squirtle. I know too much info but you asked lol 😅
I’m laughing out loud 😂😂😂
Heat is a problem for me as well and I live in Texas. I've heard that after a bad heat stress event like you mentioned it makes a change in your brain that creates your overheating issue. I've not talked to a doctor about it but I have the same problem. Try riding an air cooled bagger in Texas when it is over 100f outside! The heat reflected from blacktop roads is insane as well so most of my riding is first thing in the morning or the middle of the night.
I like the Moto Vlog Monday idea. And yes, but the bikes that you want to ride, not what everyone else thinks you should be buying.
I live in Texas and the heat for this month is HOT! When temps under 95 - I get the bike out for around an hour ride. I’m like you too - the body core temp gets warm fast and have trouble cooling down. Usually something cold like ice cream 🍦 helps 😊 Love the videos!!
I bought a sport touring / ADV bike... and I really didn't enjoy riding it very much and I never racked up that many miles. Now I have a touring bike and a sport bike and am having much more fun. Honestly, if I ever do get an ADV bike in the future I'm going to get a mid-sized one and probably trailer it to the dirt vs. trying to have a touring bike and off-road bike in one.
Devilstone sounds fun, I didn’t know about that one and you could take the long way out of Cody and still do Beartooth pass. I hope you get to enjoy it, Jess, and the weather should be cooling off, especially at altitude. Wish I had the time this year. Ride safe!
Love this , just candid , just riding around , most of our riding is just like this just around , ride what you want to and just ride , love me some Stevie Nicks , always have . Thanks for what you do !👍😎
I really enjoy this old motovlog style, sprinkled with amazing life adventures. It who I subbed to. Just keep being you and the right viewers will stay. All the 💕
When I was first riding street bikes, me and everyone else in America wore black leather riding jackets. As I aged, I was getting baked like a potato in my jackets, so I gambled and switched to grey leather and never looked back. It doesn't absorb the heat of the day, but still kept me warm when it got cold.
Day 1 ....The first 50 miles ride it mildly and do not lug it.... Day 2-5....Then to the 500 marl ride it within speed limit anywhere just keep it cool. Do an oil and filter change and ride it like you stole it.. Yah for warranty work do a 1k service.. FYI use a zinc break in oil supplement in the oil during the first 1k...... So within a week you can be riding anywhere for as long as you want...
I really miss the ride to coffee and talk about whats on your mind vids. Just as long as you're having a healthy balance between everything and having fun thats the main thing. Can't wait for Alps part 2.🏍☕🤘
I've had my PA for a year. The more I ride it the more I like it. I will try to say hello at BBB.
Little Sturgis, Mississippi happens the 3rd weekend of August. It's hot AF, but a lot of fun in a small town
Say Jordan sweetie, will you take the Pan America out and bring it back with 975 miles on it! I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
My 2019 Roadster Evo Sportster had the extended warranty but I never used it. Been fairly reliable.
My Girls ,2019 RGS is Pele ( the Goddess of Fire) & 2011 Vic. Vegas is named Sunset.
Please keep us posted if anything breaks with the Pan America. That bike is on my wish list but I been hesitating on buying it because of the issues
It's a new bike, poop happens, so can't fault HD for that don't you know. Best of luck to you and your new bike. 🥀
Love for you to do motovlog Mondays ❤
"Dolly" for the R18, how appropriate, love it!
Now have 3000 on my 23 I have had most bikes over the last 40 years and I love my PA
Wow that is a new one for me that you don’t want to Take it anywhere before you get 1000 mile service done ….
Her preference. I bought my '24 Pan America new and rode it like it owed me money after 50 miles. No issues.
Travel suggestion: Ride to Alaska. I'm sure you've thought about it. Western Canada and the roads in Alaska are spectacular. Or, almost as good, Ride to Newfoundland. Much closer and while the mountains aren't Western Canada and Alaska, Newfoundland is like no other place. The friendliest people on earth. Beautiful Gros Morne National Park. Seriously. I've gone there twice from SW Indiana and if I weren't 73, might do it again. And of course, to get there you must ride through Quebec or go through New Brunswick and Nova Scota. Even if you never put the bike on the ferry to Newfoundland, the Cabot Trail is just spectacular. The Pan American would be perfect for this tour and oh yes, with either Alaska or Newfoundland, you get to enjoy wonderful Canada.
I have thought about it, about how much I GENUINELY don’t care to do it. 😅😅😅
Motovlog Mondays rock!!
Rumor has it a couple of blonde bombshell musicians named their guitar "Jess".
My 2021 Pan Am was the most fun bike I have ever owned. The adaptive ride height was a genius design and the acceleration was insane. Wish I would have kept it.
Totally agree!
I ride a ‘22 BMW R1250GSA. He’s triple black and named Nomad after Captain America made his character shift. He’s a whole lot of bike to handle off road. So I try to stay on roads. I accidentally ended up on what a local referred to as a ‘goat path’. There were some very sketchy moments getting back to pavement or at least gravel. I hope to be at Wailin’ Wayne.
I have a 23 pan America I don’t care what nobody says I love it ♥️ it’s so peppy and super stable on the expressway ..
Sassy Jess is hilarious! This is why I subscribed to your channel!
On my Dyna bought new and was riding 60 miles a day to and from work. Throw in some casual riding through the week I put 1000 miles in 1 week. BTW traded that bike in on my 2019 Ultra that now has 50,000 + miles on her. Leaving for Texas in 2 weeks so I should have 60,000 by the time I get home. Keep riding and keep posting vids and I will keep watching.
I can't wait to see the rest of Jordan and your trip to the Swiss Alps. Once the videos are out, are you going to do a video of how the booking process was. What it was like going through the rental process for the bikes you and Jordan used. Did you need to do anything special to be allowed to rent internationally? We saw you guide Gary pick you up from the airport. Did he take you two to the dealership to finish the rental process?
Sorry I know that's a lot. But as soon as I watched your first video I got excited for the possibility of doing something like that.
I definitely plan on doing a full breakdown!
I named my Harley Buck because he almost bucked me off going up my driveway when i was tired and i kind have went backwards and i had to whisky it down in my grass so i wouldn’t hit the brick wall. lol. Don’t ride tired!
🎉 There are a lot of “Forrest Service Rds” and fun trips all over Southern Ohio that would be easily doable on the PanAm without fear of damage… unless you’re pushing it. I love backpacking and grew up on dirt bikes.. so ADVing was inevitable! Regarding “Break in” there was a guy on a message board that said it’s pretty much a myth and in fact you should ride it hard to properly wear in surfaces. Note, there is a difference between hard break in and just plain abuse. Just a thought. Every new bike I’ve gotten I just ride it.. change oil and filter around 500 and again at 1000. Then good to go.
I live in Ohio as well. I am a Pan Am owner. I love Farrow East and North. I suggest you and your husband try Ocean City/DelMarVa Bikefest 2024. It’s a blast. I will be there staying along the boardwalk. Hope to see more Pan America’s there. I will not be bringing a trailer this year. The Pan Am loads easily in the pickup truck.
I love the new motovlog Monday! I have a 2018 Heritage named "Bulls Eye" from Toy Story. I absolutely love your new PanAmerica
I have a 22 Pan America 30,000 miles on it. The bike is great i knew going in that there would be some issues with it and there were a few. Fuel pump screaming, starter clutch, and wiring harness that the MOCO sent an engineer down to diagnose and fix. It recently spent 8 weeks in the shop for a stator. I've had a chain slider for my swing arm on order for over 100 days, this is a $34 wear item that the MOCO will not make available. Every time the backorder date gets close they extend it. I'm about sick of this thing. The bike is great I love it but not being able to get simple parts is getting old very quickly.
Oh well enjoy the bike it is a blast.
Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson in Maryville, TN will be having their 2nd Annual Bike Rally on 9/28-10/5/24 if you are interested in attending.
I saw! Looks fun!
@@HerTwoWheelsI went to SMBW last year. My wife drove her car and I rode over from Memphis. We stayed in Pigeon Forge. I know you've ridden E. TN. but it was so enjoyable and so many other good roads besides the Dragon and Cherahola skyway.
Love motovlog Mondays.
I’m a big fan of the pan America . Took one for a demo ride last year
I know how you feel. Because of my back all my riding is exactly that, short trips around town. I use my bike as primary transportation so most of my riding is short little hops to get beer or doctor/medical appointments, so yeah it takes forever to build up miles.
P.S. I don't know how to edit videos but the other day I got video of two of your favorite things, tar snakes and dirt road hahaha. The whole time I was on it I was thinking of what you would think in those conditions. The difference is that in Texas the tar snakes are half melted already and if you accelerate on them you can feel the bike break traction. If I can figure out how to edit I'll post it, if you want it I can email it.
You do what you like. Those of us that watch will still watch. I don't have a bike, can't afford to buy one.
The vibration frequency on the Pan America is perfectly matched to nose itchiness. I swear.
Yessss! Would love motovlog Mondays to come back 😊
As I mentioned in my last vid, i recently bought a Pan Am and i LOVE it. It's my touring bike mostly but i do offroad here and there (not much). I def want to see what upgrades you do. I highly recommend exhaust and lighting! Enjoy it and ride safe.
LMAO 😂🤣😂 my nose has been super itchy as well 😂🤣😂
Keep opening my visor rubbing my nose like a snorker 😂
My '79 Sportster is named Lazarus, because I brought it back from the dead. My Heritage is Debbie for Debbie Harry(tage)
Love both the motovlog and the travel vids. Just keep making vids.
Went to Rocky Mountain Roll again this year and it was great. Will be back at AdvFest next year.
My 2022 BMW R1250GSA isn't formally named. But I call it my Magic Carpet. It takes me cool places.
Rock on Jess!
I’m the same way about the heat so I feel ya!
I got me a Time Out trailer and a window unit A/C to pull with the my Goldwing. 104 degrees in Houston last July and I was quite comfortable other than the setup and tear down.
As long as you don't go flat out and don't lug the engine you can go anywhere just vary the rpm a bit
Check out the Red River Scramble in eastern Kentucky. It's a great grassroots rally, the guy who puts it on is a route-planning magician. He has a route that is sure to make any skilled rider happy!
Test rode all the big ADV bikes. Rented a Pan America for three days. Fell in love and sold. Now she sits next to my Low Rider ST. 🥰
Take a course in a safe environment with a professional. It’ll build your confidence and show you what it can do.
Let me know when you get to that part of the video… 😂
Congratulation on your new bike. Just a suggestion you could pick a dealership a thousand mile away, a road trip and service Yay

I got my break in done in a month. I juey got on roads with a 55mph speed limit and rode one direction for hours. Ate lunch and rode home.
Good times with Jess! 😂
Also luckily one of the people who still has a solid attention span. 😆
Living in the cold and damp climate of Scotland I often forget how the heat can spoil your riding season even more than cold and rain, max this summer has been 77 which seemed really hot 🤣,hope you get some cooler weather to ride.
