Highlights from a road trip we did in March 2024 . My wife and I on our 2022 Road King Special . We had no plan , nothing booked, just needed to escape! Leaving the UK via the channel Tunnel to deal with 14 hours straight hard riding , blasted by wind and rain to reach the stunning cliff top village … our first destination ‘Rocamadour’ . Only then we find the sun . We Travelled along the Pyrenees then raced to The French Riviera, before heading along side the Alps through the national parks .. some stunning roads , some good times , some tough days .. that’s what motorcycling is … if truth be told I think a lot of people ride a motorcycle but want a Tesla . Expect too much.. there will be hard times , you’ll endure them or just go buy that car .

I think another reason i really appreciate your production is how the music also reflects the sound of the riding experience, not so much with modern sports bikes, but with big singles and twins but especially with the Harley sound. Ive always found music can take me back to my previous riding days, the rhythm of a picked guitar, the moving of the road. I never listened to music while I rode, the music was the engine, the twisting of the road. And such beautiful filming. Its the whole package, soon to be my reality again, soon for me to ride........... to live

Hello. Always have a smile 😃 on my face when I see a new video footage of the Warrior Road King. I love the road, the solitude the surroundings the landscape and people you meet and met al sorts, and riding in the rain 🌧️? To me it’s therapeutic. I ride in all weather conditions. My night train purchased new in 2008 and put 107 thousand miles on the beast , and loved every minute of it, lots of rust but still going strong , so when I see riders like your self and your love one with you it’s refreshing. Dennis Hopper Proper Mark and Lisa. Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing again.

Ah man , too kind .. I the night train , if I could afford a 2nd bike that would be it . I remember when they first come out , I had a really cheap 1200 Sportster at the time , and I saw a Night Train in this little garage I used to go too . I literally jaw dropped . I think it’s one of the best looking bikes Harley done . It’s kinda simple but tough as hell. I literally look at the used ones weekly . That’s some crazy mileage brilliant to read that . Too many people don’t ride these machines . My good pal just bought a totally original 1985 softail (kickstart model ) with 3000 miles on it !!!!! I mean great for him . But to think that was the year me and Lisa started dating , we was kids !! That bike has only gone 3000 miles . So sad . Hope that Night Train does another 100 ! Best wishes dude from us both .

⁠@@LeanIntoTheWindthank you for your replies. Forgot to mention great footage and music background. The night train as served me well over the years, its in a work shop for miner work, with that kind of mileage you will encore some work. I did go out and brought a 2013 fat boy two weeks ago still kept the night train of course lol but I’m sorry to say I’m not feeling it 😑. Different ride. I did see you HD sportster and it looked awesome. It looked used . I love that. I bet you still miss it? Safe riding lovely people.

@@user-mk5zo7tx1r glad you kept Night train . I don’t think I’ve posted anything of my sportster up . You’ve probably seen photos or clip of my old chopper , I had that for 13 years until we got knocked off by a van , sadly it got written off . We was doing 50mph and both ended up 30 metre down the road . She took too much damage . It was a 1989 Springer softail originally. But I made a lot of changes . But I love the 1340 evo engine . Racked up so many miles and adventures. Gutted to lose that one . But lucky I made it out of that crash virtually unscathed, I only had open face joggers and t shirt no gloves , but some how I flipped rather than slid . So just a fracture ankle and cuts bruises .

@@LeanIntoTheWind I could never get rid of my night train, you mite as well chop one of my arms off then selling lol 😂, yes I remember now! Yes it was the chopper I saw. It was a cool bike - chopper and I do remember the story behind it. I’m glad you had a lucky escape from that accident. Safe travels my friend and looking forward to the next one.

Love this video, wonderful part of the world. Those long days are just a necessity i guess to get places, will you keep planning in those days or spread things out? I have only just started with the Mrs on the back so max 4 hours per day is our limit at the moment. I would love a road king but its a big jump up from my Guzzi V7.
