I just enjoy seeing and hearing a regular guy riding and talking about bikes. The fact that you're a nice guy doesn't hurt.

The Evo is all the fixes that the Shovel needed. Best Engine HD MOCO ever made.

May God always have the wind to your back brother.

To recognize one's own ego at work and be able to let that go and dis-identify with it, is a true mark of wisdom. Well done. "Better to conquer oneself than a thousand others in battle".

Stay true to yourself and don’t sell out to advertisers and start making “install videos”. I appreciate it man. Keep kicking ass. 🤛🏻

Mr. Tramp, I’m sure you are tired of hearing the same old stuff out of me, but here is some more. You have great talent in creating your videos. I feel like I’m there in everyone of them. You are obviously a man of integrity and character and those traits are so rare in these days. Like most of your viewers I really wish that you were my neighbor and would drop by and visit. You are my kind of people. God bless you and yours.

I love how you act like we're your next door neighbor and riding partner. Love your laid-back attitude and willingness to experiment. You're a very calming person. The reason why I ride!

Sold my fuel injected twin cam and got a 94 evo. It is the most straightforward motorcycle ive ever owned.

Much respect! Evo all day.

God bless, roll hard and stay true to yourself!

Another great video! My wife and I search KZfaq every night hoping to see you posted another!i commute to work 550 miles a week on my road king rain or shine and when I get home my wife hears me pull up and comes out with her helmet and away we go to dinner almost nightly and we take trips on weekends when we can,her and I do all wrenching together even rebuilt the transmission we live for riding! We enjoy your videos keep up the good work!

Man, your timing is great! You talk about the simplicity of the Evo and that bike. I have a video landing on Sunday where I mentioned how Evo bikes are perfect for beginners to wrench on, but also keep knowledgeable motorcycle minds like yourself entertained. Darn good video here, Tramp! Keep doing you, brother. I'm proud to call you my friend.

I own two Evos, a 1988 FLHS and a 1989 FXSTS. Love'em, have no interest in changing for a Twin Cam. Thanks for a great video....BTW, I'm 64yo

Your channel is my favorite biker channel due to the fact that you are YOU, and you are TRUE BLUE , and don’t backbite others or look down on other people and that is worth more then anything if you ask me period!! Stay true Tramp!!💯🙏🏻🇺🇸 Oh and that seat looks way better and like it belongs on that bike!

Keep doing what you do, wrenching and riding and giving your honest pinion. You are a cool guy Tramp. Thanks for your vids .👊👍❤️

Stay true, my friend! We love ya that way God bless

Never met ya, but I feel like I’ve known ya my whole life...your a kindred spirit my friend. Shine on and never let your light dull. Love ya bruvva.

Love your honesty brother don't change a thing God bless.

I love Evo's, I own 2, 85 FXRS and a 96 Road King. Both carbureted and can do everything I want with no computer except for asking Google questions once in a while. Did the R from the ground up, only thing I couldn't do was the lower end of the engine. Stay in the wind, love your videos.

I just scrolled through your followers and their sayings. Looks like you touched a lot of people on the same level. We all enjoy just you and your ways of talking about your life on & off the Harley Davidson. How life seems easy. I agree with them. I would ride wing with you any day every day.. Your kind of men are few & far between. Honest, open, true to your words. Come on out to California. We'll lay down some miles on these old EVO running machines. Ride on... right on.. Brother. Maybe we'll meet on the other Side? (Some day?)

I’ll always be watchin brother. I just get such a feeling of peace when I watch your videos. Can’t really explain that other than it is so refreshing to see the down home honest living and working that you share with us. Blessings to you and the misses.

In the early 2000s, we bought a brand new Harley Davidson Twin Cam Fatboy. The Wife & I loved that bike. Back then our payments were $350 a month. a short time after we bought the FatBoy I got laid off from my job. We decided we had to get out from under those HD payments, so we sold the Fatboy. As a experienced Machinist, I soon found a new job and we saved our dollars and pennies until we had enough to by a used Harley Davidson FatBoy with cash. We were lucky to find a Bad Ass Fatboy owned by a Los Angles Police Officer who was asking $10,000 for a Custom 1992 Fatboy, with Harley Davidson Factory 57' Chevy Blue & Cream paint, Fat Bob tanks, PM wheels & Disk brakes and a stock Evo 80ci motor and cobra long shots pipes. After a little negotiation and whipping out an $8,000 stack of one hundred bills, the Bike was ours! 20 years later and attending the Sturgis Bike Rally for 17 years, we are still riding our 1992 FatBoy and still loving that Evo.

Thanks for having me over.

The fact it has gear drive cam is a big win, no cam chain tensioners fragmenting and blowing your engine apart!

Stay Righteous and outta politics, we'll keep watchin. Thanks for providing something worth coming back for.

Very enjoyable, your shop is cool. Looks like a you could kickback and enjoy a cup of coffee there while working.

Your videos are the best! Thanks Saddle tramp, I'm so sick of TV. There isn't ever anything on, I can sit and watch your videos all night long! 👍

Thanks for deciding not to change anything or not being a sell out...enjoy the feeling like were just hanging out every video...keep being you and doing what you do😀

I had a Fat Boy twin cam 88 but I had always wanted to have a Springer Evo...finally I sold the Fat Boy and 2 months ago I bought a Springer Evo and although it's a less powerful engine I'm really glad with it! Greatings from Spain. Josep

Thanks saddle tramp for providing these excellent videos,love your work bro. From Ulverstone Tasmania,Australia🙂

So that's why I always have the urge to pass everyone on the road on my M8. You might be on to something ST. Don't change your channel. I know when I get a notification that you have a new video I know I'm going to get some great content. Love what your doing and I think many people do.

Mr.Tramp, I started riding in the late 70's. I started off with a 1978 Super Glide. 1200cc/74ci motor then bought an early 1984 sportster(last iron head) before the new evolution motors. My friends and I would spend hours and days working on our bikes back in the day. In a garage like yours. All together wrenching. Lots of good times and some bad times. I like your spirit for the motorcycle way of life. When you wrench on your bike I really like it , the carburetor issues I loved those ones. God bless. Trucking Hairball. From Illinois

I wish I had a chilled out friend like you to wrench with. Great videos!

came to your channel because it popped up. stayed because the content was good. I enjoy another person who believes in the truth and tries to live that way. got myself a 95 inch twin cam had and an older rubber mount sporty. love them both, probably not going to change to an EVO although I understand the ability to work on them is a good point. just keep riding, keep talking , doing the things you do. that's what keeps us coming back. take care , see you down the road.

Thanks for letting me into your world. Do what you do brother 👊. It's obvious that you're loving life. No need to chase other peoples intentions. I truly look forward to seeing your content.

enjoy your vids, your down to earth brother, thanks for keeping it real

Ya, don't change a thing! I always feel better after watching one of your vids! Keep lookin' up!

I've always wanted a 90's Softail with the Evolution engine. I haven't gotten the Softail but I've been fortunate to have ridden one and I loved how smoothly it rode. It was like flying down the highway on a cloud to me compared to my Japanese "cruiser" which is more of a do it all machine, high performance, solid braking, viable cruiser, suitable for 2 up riding and fairly comfortable. That's the '82 Yamaha XJ1100J Maxim. Well, I finally had the $ and the opportunity to buy a Harley-Davidson and my first ever V-Twin at the same time and the seller was less than a mile away from home and the bike is a super clean well cared for '94 Dyna Wide Glide. It has much of the look I was going for in wanting a softail and someday I will still work towards getting an Evo Softail. The Evolution big twin and the Sportsters are the only HD engines I ever want to bother with and with some tooling on it it will be all the performance I want or need from a cruiser. For now I expect it is a stock machine orher than the Arlen Ness air cleaner. If I want a speedier V-Twin for now I just picked up another bike I've wanted for decades for the look and it came from the factory with a good 30+ horsepower more than the Evo 80 from a Honda Shadow VT1100C. I'm diving headlong back into motorcycles amd riding and actually getting my adult sons into fixing bikes and learning to ride on the old '73 Yamaha Enduros I've had kicking around for decades. Now once they're up to stepping up to a bigger street bike I have 4 of them that are completely capable of long distance rides and we're decided on making the 700+ mile ride to Sturgis soon. Probably next year so we can ride with the CVMA chapter I'm looking to patch into as a full member.

They should have something like a golden buzzer to express more than just likes for your videos Saddle Tramp.

Respect from SoFla.

I just stumbled across your video here from me searching to gather information about the different Harley engines pros and cons! I have to say I really enjoyed the way you created this video and with your personal opinions from a regular owner. So thank you!

Stumbled across your channel just days ago and love it just the way it is. You're doing great.

There are too many folks out there who try hard to become more popular or more relevant or get their own bit of recognition . What I liked about this channel first thing was your genuine presentation; humility is refreshing. I’ll keep watching.

I appreciate your honesty and really enjoyed the calming background music 👍🏻

Pretty much the same seat that is on my 2002 softtail. I plan on getting my 01 FLHRCI Road King up and running and trade it or sell it to buy an Evo a bike I can work on. I am sorry I ever bought these twin cams I didn't know how much computerized junk was on them. My 72 FLH is like a big riding lawn mower when it comes to working on it. Had it 31 years and will keep it until I am gone. Great video thanks.

I forget why I started, what brought me here, but why I stay is simple. Great content, stuff that's close to what I want to see and do myself. I get to live vicariously through what you're doing. A little touring, a little wrenching, a little learning. My dream bike isn't even a Harley any more, but the make and model don't matter, just cracking anything open and learning how to make it work for you is what it's all about. That's what life is about, what makes us happy. Stay safe, Amigo.

I like your videos because you are so down to earth. It’s relaxing to see them. Just keep doing what you’re doing 👍

Love the channel. Exactly. Love to see the evo,great bike.i had a 99 softail custom and I miss it alot. Best bike I ever owned. I appreciate what your channel is. Dont change a thing!

Wow your a good dude...honesty and integrity, great traits to have brother and you have em....honored to be a part of your channel, and ill continue to be

Keep doing what you’re doing the way you you have been doing it. You reminded me of the reason I started riding so many years ago. Just the joy of being on a bike and feeling the wind, sun, rain or whatever while you ride down the road. Nothing better.

This video is beautiful, a piece of art. It triggered so many emotions inside of me. Thank you!

Follow your path, stay strong in the Lord and your needs will be met. I appreciate what your doing and more importantly who you are. Take care friend......🙏🏼

I've enjoyed watching your videos, and that you make them with kindness. That's missing often. Thanks.

Very cool perspective on enjoying the bike and life at a slower speed. Well done!!!!

Love what you are doing, right don’t change.Your vids on the EVO have helped me with my 96 Dyna.Thanks

You are so correct. Just keep doing what you are doing and I for one will stick around to see what exciting video you bring out next. Ride Safe

Totally agree, stay true to yourself. I really enjoy when you interact and include other real bikers and their stories though, keep it up!

I have the same FLSTN for 25 years, love that machine, keep the great videos coming.

A great seat is half the battle, appreciate the commentary. So many give in to temptation with advertisers, good going.

Keep doing what you want to do, it's just fine for me, I like the way you share with us the things you love. Waiting for your next video. Vincent from France 🇫🇷.

Love what you do, you’re easy to listen to and give an honest opinion on motorcycles. I also like that you work on your own stuff and that that means enough to you that you traded a modern computer controlled bike to get a bike that’s basic enough to maintain and repair on your own.

I started following your channel when you got the evo as I own a 95 Fat boy and I have learned a few tricks working on it. keep videos coming

Great review of this iconic bike - got a stock '89 Custom and it all one needs to enjoy and actually still see something when out in the countryside!! Thanks for confirming my "suspicion" to have picked the right bike!! lol Safe riding and keep up the great work!

Honestly I love watching your videos. I went from an evo 1200 sportster to a twin cam 103 softail deluxe. I love both bikes. Thanks for giving such awesome content!

Good deal. 👍 Stay in your comfy zone brother.

Keep doing what your doing! Stay true to who you are brother. Sad to hear about the shovel, but hey one day it will happen. Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up as you said.

Just be you. Do things that excited you. KZfaq is just us getting a view into your life on two wheels. Everyone's ride is different. And you're sharing yours.

it`s all about enjoying what you do and what you ride that makes you happy.glad to see you are going to save the iron head. thank`s my friend for the great video`s.

Hey Saddle Tramp, howdy from South Africa. Been subbed for some months, really enjoying watching your channel grow as you resonate with so many people. You represent something wholesome and free, which good folk naturally are drawn to. Be good to yourself bro !

You are one quality brother. Much respect. I always appreciate down to earth real honest people and you definitely are one. Said it before, but love the old garage shop you have. Much character and nostalgic. Look forward to meeting you somewhere on the road or at your shop. Maybe in the spring. Take care...

Nice video, love my EVO's. Just got Antique Tags for my 94 RoadKing. Keep up the good work!

thanks for your input i just purchased a 1998 evo Heritage Softail, and i love it.

Above all things, to thine own self be true. Love what you do. Much reaspect.

Just Keep doing what your doing mate. Its all good and I will keep watching for sure , love the bike stuff and also the travel stuff. Keep chin Up bro.

Dagnabbit man. Another great video. Now going to ride my motorcycle.I love to see men getting back to why they started riding in the first place.

I love my old EVO FLSTN. I get how you feel when you're on your bike. My last Harley was a Twin Cam 110. I dig what you do on your channel. Hold fast!

You do nice work on your vids man. Keep it up like you are, and I think your channel will blow up well over the next year.

Really nice bike! The seats make ir pop up on the vintage originality one can really appreciate it. Keep the videos coming interesting as always. Film what you want, and the subscribers will stay if they like what they're seeing. Thank you for another great video

Appreciate the video and sharing with us ! Always a good one from saddle tramp 👊🏽

Just keep on keeping on and take your own advice, Amigo be good to yourself. Happy riding!

I like everyone here enjoy your time spent with us. You locked me in on keeping my 95 fxdl and no need to upgrade the 04 RK. Cheers and more.....

Your channel and tatro machine are the channels I watch the most.... I really enjoy your content brother.... Take care

I love my Evo. Greetings from Germany.

What caught my attention when I found your channel and subscribed a couple of months ago is your down to earth home and bikes. I feel bad that I don't have a spotless garage for the 99 Softail and 02 Road King like what I thought everyone else has. Your home and garage looks so welcoming with treasures around the outside. You had the courage to be exactly who you are, treasures and all and make uplifting, wholesome, great quality videos for normal people to enjoy. No fancy garage, no fancy show bikes, just nothing but ordinary people, ordinary stuff and a deep love for old bikes with a desire to share it all with friends. So glad you started this channel. God Bless.

Great video Tramp. Truly like your style.

I always come across your videos while I’m looking at different things, always nice to watch your videos, breath of fresh air and appreciate all your unbiased opinions. Ride safe!

Good music when editing. Nice watching and enjoying your videos Mr. Tramp. I have a 93 electra glide. I'll look into getting antique plates.

Hey brother , really enjoy your videos don’t change anything .you keep it real and that’s what it’s about thanks for all the info god bless

I found your page while researching the Cross Roads and Rosedale. You took the time to answer my questions. I believe you are a straight up what you see is what you get guy. Keep doing what you are doing. I love the music you use in your videos. P.S. Doing the Rosedale/Dockery Farms trip in a couple weeks .

I love seeing a real rider, being honest about everything you do. Keep being yourself and don't worry about what someone else thinks.

I'm not a religious person but I have no problem with it listening to your videos are so relaxing you seem like a very real and down to earth fella keep the videos coming cheers from Ontario Canada.

My opinion.... keep doing what you are doing, I enjoy the variety! Thanks for sharing your passion!

I owned a 1999 low rider with the EVO, man I miss that engine easy to work on and the fantastic Harley Potato-Potato exhaust note it surely could make and you could idle her down or up with a screwdriver on the carburetor and I would just listen to the beat it would make and with the hand choke under the tank that you controlled...Man that was motorcycling . Now today I have a 2014 streetglide with all kinds electronic gadgets and no more true Potato-potato, time surely moves on, every now and then I keep a eye out for a EVO Wideglide hope to find a nice one, one day You have good honest content channel with a guy with a good personality .

I believe that what you have done is make people realize that your a true lover of motorcycles and wanted to shear your journey on what you put together on this project of this soft tail. people came and subscribed because they were interested on your mission and you did that, and me as a rider have to say after all the videos you made you also made some new friends from all over, and no matter who you are and what your past was. Nothing matters more then you showed everyone and sheard your project and we came as far friends to see you do it. That's a lot if you ask me. Great video and outstanding ending to this story of that Evo soft tail. Hope to see more ML&R My brother 👊

Keep on keeping on brother🤘 nice bike and thanks for the videos. Stay safe out there ✌

Really enjoying the videos, especially the evo stuff. Best motor they ever made (i own a 92 springer) . Keep the videos coming 👍👍👍

You said everything I think when I'm on my evo love it🎉

Just keep being you and I’ll keep watching. A real person doing real things. Thank you.

I swear just this morning I was talking to a buddy at work who rides an Evo and he was explaining to me about how it calmed down his riding. I was explaining back to him that my M8 114 Street Glide kinda makes me want to ride crazy ...I guess just cuz the power is available and it boosts my ego. I hate to admit but I like when people stop at red lights and look at my bike. But you know what, I have loved motorcycles long before I liked people looking at my motorcycle... This video was way more humbling than I would have ever expected when I clicked the play button Thank you brother.

I always see people talking about how Evo’s in softails vibrate but I came from a sport bike back ground and the vibration of my Evo motor in my buell really made me fall in love with it. It was just so different and felt so right. Just picked up my first real Harley a 97 softail heritage. Rode it once this winter when I picked it up then put it straight in the garage to clean up the mess of the bike it was from previous owners.
