Using the center stand facing uphill just cracked me up. 😂😂

Turn traction control off by putting the bike in sport mode and holding the TC button down for several seconds. Then you have access to the full power of the engine.

Danny's a great showman. He knows it wouldn't be as entertaining, if he didn't make mistakes, take risks & do it the hard way. Amazing perseverance!!!

This channel has 1. The best Harley Davidson content 2. The best mental health resilience demonstrations. 3. The best ability of continuing a conversation while out of breath. All for the price of a like, comment and a click on the sub button. I still can’t believe all this and other content are free.

Why would you put it on the centre stand there 😂😂

Danny you are going through hell making us this series! But I greatly appreciate it!

He Danny I have the pan am special and ride offroad trails with it. 2 things... 1 hold down the mode button when in offroad mode (and full stop) to activate offroad+ (yellow icon turns purple, now you can drift and back wheel ABS is off) 2 if you don't want traction control, simply shut it off by pushing the TC button. I love your content it's honest and funny! This is a very capable adventure bike, with offroad+ and TC off you would've killed that hill climb. Cheers!

This video made me very glad that I just brought at CRF 300L! Although I'd never dream of taking such a monster off-road it was still interesting to watch someone try

Danny you crack me up. just keep cracking the trails. great job

For a cranky man, you’ve got a great sense of humour mate. This series has been epic.... looking forward to the review

This is an example of NEVER QUIT ! Just a great video

Traction control can be turn off by holding down the TC button. Too bad you didn't know, you could have made it to the top of the hill I'm sure without TC on

I've been waiting for this episode 👍... I like your review, not just because it's candid, but because it shows the struggles that riders face as they actually happen on the ground (literally), and so I think a number of regular and beginner riders who've been in similar situations can quickly relate. I've had several instances when - on hindsight - I realized that I could have done things differently during some of my own failed attempts on dirt/mud... or when I've forgotten nuanced lessons or bike features that could've helped me... but I guess mental dexterity can quickly jump out the window when one is pumped with adrenaline and/or fatigue out there on the dirt.

Love the antics and really enjoy the channel

Me: "Perhaps learning how to use the bike properly before giving an opinion on things you don't understand yet would be a better way to review?" Danny: "Nah just gonna wing it. I dont need no owners manual. What could possibly go wrong??"

Well done. Your a credit to courage and perseverance ..It is the story of life...never,never, never give..up..👍😎

Let’s face it this Pan American is just made for dirt roads and not extreme trail riding. Sort of like a Mac truck in the bush. Lol.

Love the videos. Im in Minnesota USA When you dump it on the right and are trying to pick it up put you kick stand down first. Got 3 more months of snow till I'm on my street glide so keep videos coming!

Enjoyed the video. I am not an adventure rider, so no advice...lol It is good to see what your able to do and not do so easily with the motorcycle. Thanks for not giving up...I tell my children the same thing. In a not so kind world you need tenacity. Hooah

I just wanna say I love your channel I have learnt more about bikes threw watching U then anyone else TFS your adventures. I love how u don't give up u keep going that's awesome

Great videos, sadly in the first part the tires were not up to speck, and now as we all know, this bike is really 99% touring, 1% soft gravel, just like the Multistrada. They look the part but are not true Enduro bikes like the KTM 1290 Super Adventure or GS1250 Enduro that can handle a bit better these terrains. But it is refreshing watching someone really squeezing the bike in these hard situations. What can add? Never give up, you are a professional!

Was gonna leave a twat, smart ass comment about HD and the situation but I really commend you for not giving in and getting the bike out. Like you said perseverance and your attitude is bloody fantastic my respect to you good sir. Well done mate bloody well done!

It’s simple to turn TC off just hold the TC button in the right switchgear for 1 sec as per instructions on page 113 of the owners handbook!

Danny! I love ya, but what ya lack in commen-sense, ya make up with tenacity! When on the side of the hill, always use the footpeg that is sticking in the ground as a pivot-point. Grab the front wheel and use gravity and pull that front wheel around, using the grounded peg for pivot. Get the front wheel facing down the hill and everything will come together. Same with your up-hill center-stand bear-trap situation. Lay the bike over on its left side, use the grounded peg to pivot the front end down the hill. Use the force (gravity). P.S. refrain from highly technical skill-riding on a new 560lb bike. Just because you have the biggest and baddest sword, doesn't mean you have the means required to wield effectively! Love ya.

Geelong Harley Davidson selling this demo….“I have a good deal on a Harley Pan Am. It was only ridden around the block a few time by a mild mannered real estate agent that never takes risks.” Love you Danny!!! MDB 🏍

Oh Danny, Danny , Danny,…..at least if nothing else you add laughter to my day,……much needed laughter I may add ,…..in our world we have atm……Keep digging,…..don’t forget the spade next time :) Deb

Look at RIDE Adventures on how to turn a bike round on a hill and Bret Treks on how to pick up an ADV!

Daniel. Leverage. When your bike falls over grab a big solid stick, place it in a safe spot and use Leverage. It will help your back, hopefully. Love Ya and thanks for keeping many people sane through your brilliant travels!!!

Quote I am not a experience trail rider ... No but you are a absolute legend and most experienced in crashing heavy bikes, Hahahah love your videos mate

'im not going to drop it Colin 'he must be laughfing his ass off right now

Aw … don’t blame the bike bro, pure operator error …

Superb acting in this episode Danny , well done .

Spectacular slow mo through the water and another very enjoyable video. Great work Danny 👍🏼

One of your better videos mate. Love the never give up attitude. Keep em coming Danny.

I get anxiety just watching this. Balls of steel my friend. Good stuff.

Watching this has put my back out!!! Keep up the good work!

When you hit rock bottom and you are spent ! Take a knee have a break! Your attitude is golden! You are Awesome!

Good work Danny - an excellent video illustrating why the mid-weight adventure bike market is going gangbusters. 560lbs, plus rider, plus gear, is too much in the dirt.

Yep. When you think you have dug to the deepest, there is always a bit more. Luvin your work mate.

These videos are always worth the price of admission. This one is very frustrating but we all know he made it back safely because he uploaded the videos. Good show for the price. 😋

Sometimes Daniel's face pains me, then I remember he's out riding a motorcycle on an adventure, and I just got home from work.

Love how you put the hazard lights on in the middle of nowhere 🤗

Hey brother that's the problem to much technology and it is a heavy bike be great on the beach. You always do your best my friend. Take care all the best from NZ 🇳🇿

Thankyou for showing some refreshing honesty. Awsome 🤙🏼

Seen this vid 20 times laughed myself into a coma. Best video I have seen on you tube. I have a 27 inch inseam I can relate 😂

Mate you have too have the biggest heart of any KZfaq motorcycle vloger

What I love about you Danny, you get in more shit than anybody I’ve ever know, keep it up! 😂

About a year ago I sold my BMW adventure bike which I miss and before hitting the dirt you were able to turn off the traction control so it didn't interfere with your off road riding. I feel your pain

That ending shot was sweet

Great video! Well done!! @ 14:00, I watched some hill situations where instead of trying ride out of that situation, you can 'walk' the front wheel downhill by turning the handlebars from lock to lock.

Loved the dramatic ending. Hope you're ok though. Look forward to the next vid 👍🏼

I was sweating from my sofa just by watching at you!

Put it in gear when picking it up on a hill so it doesn’t roll away on you. You can use the clutch to control going back downhill like you would the front brake.

Keep going Danny,love the music🙏🇦🇺

Honda Africa Twin for the win.

thank-you-danni-for-helping-to-carry-another-soul-----on-the-back-and-you-never-knew-I-was-there

100% agree Danny. I wouldn't own a bike that I couldn't turn off the traction control. Especially off road

Great true video capturing your adventure. Your example is honest…. Keep it up

Danny: "I can't get a grip anywhere." Truth.

Tough ride. Hey, if the rear tire is dug in like that, push the bike over, rotate it, pick it back up. WIth a hill like that it would be easy pick up too. Hope that helps.

Mate, you give the best straight up view! awesome,

So hilarious 🤣 I could foresee exactly what was going to happen as soon as he locked the bike into the centrestand. Followed by, this track is really steep and really dangerous…blasts off at over 40! Total idiocy, very entertaining, certainly brought a smile to my face.

Now this is a test! Great video - in my observation I'm surprised how tough the bike is! but the points you made are spot on and a little surprising at some of the breakages e.g. the grab handle! wouldn't expect that! Hope your body holds up!

I had to go and have a rest after watching that.😅

When the tough gets goin ... you fit that well mate .go beast mode..🤣🤣

Nice riding Danny 👍 I test rode one the other day and did some unsealed roads and gravel trails. But nothing too crazy. I was quite impressed and think it's a great all-rounder bike. It went well in the twisties too.

Respect! Never have seen (and will most likely never ever again see) a rider putting a roughly 600 lbs bike on the centerstand in such a terrain let alone trying to turn it arround on it. I'm sure you're paid to do all those crazy things you show in your vids. Stay safe Q

The bike is about 2 hundred pounds to heavy for an all out trail bike. By the time your ride is over your exhausted just from trying to hold it up and staying in control of an overweight bike.might be good in grass or occasional mud and lose dirt but definitely not an all around trail bike . The bike is in control of the rider when it should be the rider should be in control..your first impression of the bike was spot on Danny. Be careful out there my friend.

Crashbars that "stick out a bit" to pick it up easier on an offroad bike is just a branch trap and accident waiting to happen. Respect for getting yourself out of that.

Love watching the series. Why not turn off traction control? I believe you can do this in any mode. Press and hold TC. Seems pretty easy.

Many Melburnians and my mates use to smash these tracks on their Dirtbikes. They are super fun, fast and slow tracks can also be dangerous as they can flip you any minute as a lot of bumps, soft sand or tree roots and rocks. Be extremely hard on that beast as super heavy so hats off for giving it a go and showing us what it’s made of!!! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼🤘👍 We all dropped our bikes plenty of times!!

I’m watching you Danny, and giving you advice out loud sitting here by myself. I haven’t watched past 12:34, but can’t figure out why you don’t drag the front end around so you’re facing down hill? I hope this gets easier for you from here on out!

Your filming was amazing good work love nz

massive effort once again mate cheers

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Danny for always keeping it real

Everything you say is correct! Most people can’t do what you do ! You are a machine. We don’t quit!

It's so obvious the Pan America is not designed for that kind of terrain. No way i'd take a bike like that on that kind of track. But good on you for not quitting and really exposing the limits of what this bike can and can't do.

Hup ya, hup ya, huuup eeeeeeuuuunnnuggggh. Nearly turned your arse outside in pickin that barge up, eh? Well done👏

I love all your vlogs Danny but particularly love these ones mate. I recognise some of these tracks out the back of Anglesea there. I reckon that water crossing at the end in on Cecil Track just before Gum Flats Rd? Anyway, keep it going Danny, my mates and I love ya.👏👍

I love your work Danny. Dont listen to the haters mate, at least you are out there having a red hot crack at it. Keep it up mate, I would love to do a trip with you.

Outstanding honesty.

Awesome!! Keep going Danny great videos!!!!

Good honest opinions. That front brake reservoir looks like it would snap off in a heartbeat.

According to google, there's a big button to turn off traction control and another one to change ride modes, so you don't have to dig through menus on the TFT to get to these important features. The Pan America 1250 Special gets 5 standard (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, Off-Road Plus) and 3 customizable ride modes

OMG! Could not stop laughing especially when you’re trying to rock the bike back and forth. Maybe next time you should bring some bigger buddies to help you.

How many of us saw Danny put the Pan America on the Centre stand and went "Ahhhh f**kin hell Danny, NOOO!" 🤣

Hello Danny Your certainly putting the pan America through its paces. Great vlog really enjoyable viewing thankyou

Was in a similar situation this summer with a mountain bike. Felt completely defeated in the middle of the bush in Canada. Out of nowhere a huge downpour of rain. It caused the trail to become mud that you couldn't even walk up, let alone ride a bike. Took hours to get out, using branches to pull my way up hills, dragging my bike. In the end my hands were filled with thorns and I was covered in mud from head to toe.

Unbeliveable attitude, very nice! :) It is just a pity you didn't switch the TC before you went off road. I think you should always learn these about the bike before you ride it. Fortunately, nothing happened. Again, amazing job attitudd, admired! :)

Get a Harley they said, it will be fun Props to this man doing everything for viewers while his state goes down unda Ps: I love my street glide

For a little man you’ve got the heart & the strength of a giant !!

Kind of unrelated, but I don't really understand getting a chest protector with no gloves or arm/elbow pads. You're far more like to damage your hand/elbow/arm in a fall than your chest. Seems like the most protection is given to one of the areas least likely to be injured.

I get really worried when I see you constantly pulling dragging lifting wrenching these heavy bikes. Trust me perforated damaged discs in ya back are no fun. Can u take some one with you to help even if there off camera I don't mind. No shame in asking for help in life. Stay safe Daniel.

Danny: "The bike is freaking heavy." True words.

Great stuff love watching you ..wish I could have come to the ace cafe on London to meet you ….hope nest time

In school, they told us to deploy the kickstand when the bike is on it's side before lifting it up. You just flip it up on it's kickstand without having to balance the bike while walking around it.

2:45 And 4 wrong line. But Danny your the best. keep it up whit your flogs. you make my day.

Hey Danny, never give up! I have an Electra Glide (different animal for sure) and one day lost my footing and dropped it .... in my garage! After struggling to pick it up I finally managed, but my breathing was just like yours! Man, I thought a heart attack as coming.

that was the best vid i have seen this year so funny.
