When using your kickstand pad I use parachute cord and tie it around the handlebar clutch lever so when I lean the bike up I can pull the kickstand pad up without bending over

So true on the parking been riding 56 years and have always parked this way...

Congratulations on your recognition by HD Corporate. You’re a great ambassador as well as your Dad!

You on point with this one a coworker came to my office and said someone almost hit my bike at work I pulled to far in and they thought the spot was empty

I’ve been binge watching all your videos for the last 2 nights. Absolutely Awesome!!! Congratulations on you and your Fathers placement on the HD website. There has to be some sort of historical significance to that achievement. Truly Amazing! You now have me for the first time in my life looking at Street and Road Glides being 6’ 6” myself. Your content has shown me that it is possible to fit with a few alterations. I can see you in the future having a partnership to have HD produce the first bike for riders 6’5”+. Introducing the “Tall Glide ST”! Thank you for all of the information and continued Blessings to you and your Family. 🙏🏾

Good advice for new and old riders. You have a blessed day, too.

Great advice, most I’ve thought of, but the oil advice was one I didn’t. Always appreciate these tips. Always something to learn

Another excellent info video. Been parking that way for decades, now.... Thanks ! I'll keep watching....

I made the mistake of driving my bike to a Costco. As I me and my wife were walking away, I looked back only to see a Lady look directly at my bike with her now empty Cart in hand and fired it directly at my bike. Thank God I was close enough to run back and stop the Cart from hitting my bike. Needless to say I had a few choice words for her laziness in not returning the Cart to where it belonged and then fired it back at her car and asked her how that feels. She returned the Cart to the Cart holding area. I educated her on her not getting someone as patient as I am next time. People do dumb stuff. I got to get me one of those Pucks for my Streetglide. Thanks for the info

Thanks Tall! Great advice, as always.

I always try to park to where I don't have to use my legs to, "back myself out," of a parking spot. That's why I park out like you. Thanks Tall.

Well shot video (with intelligible audio) and informative. Having just come back to a touring bike after a few years on a Dyna Wide Glide it is good to have a refresher on how a 200+kg bike needs to be parked.

Thanks for all your videos I bought me a Harley breakout this year thanks to your content… for what it’s worth thanks. Ben

Good show, good info TALL. !!!! This is a good subject that is VERY helpful to new& old riders. If I had had this at the beginning I would have saved myself a LOT of embarrassing situations. THX for sharing !

Great video again Tall, however when i need to lock my front wheel i have to turn it to the left. All of your tips is what i do when i park both of my bikes. Keep on providing all of these valuable tips ✌🏾✌🏾

Good tips Tall. Keep them coming. There are a lot of new riders viewing your videos. Sometimes, we get caught up in the excitement of riding and never think about these things. Congrats on your new venture with Harley Davidson! Cool having your Dad with you as well.

Some great tips. I bought two of the jiffy stand coasters, one to use when I park in my garage and one to leave in the saddle bag. There is a small hole in the coaster you could tie a string to help with retrieval. Thank you for the video

Thank you, Tall. All great advice. I"m 75, (thanking the lord - still gliding) - I do all those things and glad your sharing the info. The one other reason its good to pull the bike front tire up to the pull in of the parking spot is sometimes cars backup in the back free space behind you and can back in to your bike not seeing the bike too..

Spot on Tall. Always informative. Enjoyed.

This is great video thanks so much, I’m a newer rider and learn a lot from your videos

excellent information. Especially about leaking fluids. Driving out is always better than backing out with anything you drive.

I'm about to by my first bike. A 2023 Heritage Classic Anniversary. I want to thank you for your videos. I learned a great deal. And for a new rider, you make it easily digestible to understand. Thanks

Great tips. I might add to look for sand or loose rocks, cans, etc on the ground. This goes for parking and maneuvering the bike. I’ve had my foot slip while maneuvering the bike and it’s a moment of terror.

Some great tips there! Thanks!

Great tips! Been there too with the gloves when I had my Sportster. Now on a Goldwing and I have an aftermarket kickstand pad to widen it by an inch or two. Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy your content.

As usual another excellent video on the do's and don'ts of parking a bike.

I have not gotten my bike yet but am thankful for all the information..

Great points

Bravo 👏. This video had to be done and should be shown to all new riders before the rest of us have to help them pick up their bikes 😓

Great advice. I’ve used many of these techniques.......been riding 50 years. All new riders should watch your vids. Ride safe Brother!

Good information, thanks TT!

Good tips and demonstration! Thanks

Excellent!!! Been riding Harley for (wait for it) started at 17 and I'm 67 now not bragging but just to affirm how good your information is. Especially an older person getting a full dresser, your lessons will save them a lot of damage. Hope they practice your methods in a parking lot. Thanks again

Great!! Thank you!!

Great video Tall… may God bless you and your family

Well I have to say, I am impressed!! I have been riding for 20 plus years and never really thought of bike placement in a parking spot on a level lot. So I can say I have learned something today!! Thank you.

Great tips! Parking our motorcycle is my biggest concern of something happening to it. Whether it be someone deciding to risk their life and touch it (lol) or like you mentioned, another vehicle hitting it.

Great Video Tall!!!

Great video Tall. Good information for all!

That looked like perfect riding weather!

Some good pointers, thanks Tall.

Good advice! I try to pick a spot by a light pole, way out there.

Very good advice. Thanks!

Great idea i park like that too

Great video. I always park like you do toward the front of a parking spot regardless on what cars are on either side of me

Tall that bike sounds amazing!

Awesome video ride safe and enjoy. Always enjoy watching tall.

Great points on parking thank you for sharing

You are so right on parking in a lot, especially at work. Someone at work hit my park because I had it parked to the front of space. I was pissed! Fender jacked’ up, new front wheel needed, just upsetting to say the least. Since that time 2011, never parked like that again.

Very true. One time I parked my cbr 1000 on a dirt soft spot, overnight the kickstand hed sunken in a tip over😮

Excellent video! Great advise! Good job my man!

Pretty slick video man thanks

Very good points, just plain common sense! Thanks for sharing 👍

First like✊🏾💯

Love the content! Keep it up! Can you please do a video what would be considered high mileage for a bike?

Great info for beginners as well as experienced riders👍🏻

Knowledge is power,been there,done that🧐

That is a good looking bike. Very nice!

Thank you so much

Thanks for the tips. Didn't think of the car oil leaks , parking on soft surfaces....good ones!.

Great information

I'm new...that is a great video! Thanks.

Great information ℹ️

Great tips!

Very good my friend, VERY GOOD

Great information Tall! I always keep a puck in the bag...and not just for soft or wet ground. I don't know how common this is because I've only had it happen once (so far). Last summer a group of us went on a trip. It was one of those "almost too humid and hot to ride days". That afternoon, we stopped for about an hour to get something to eat. The parking lot was asphalt so I didn't think anything about it when I put the kickstand down. When we came back out to the bikes, the asphalt had gotten so hot and soft that two of the bikes kickstands and front tires had melted down into it. They were leaning so bad I don't know how they hadn't already fallen over. Depending on how hot it is, I use a puck on asphalt too. Take it easy and be safe out there!

I can't see anything different from what I'm doing. Thanks for the refresher !!

Wow , fantastic brother great parking tips , did not know any of that , will try to start doing that 👍🏼

Good report

Great tips

I always park with my front wheel pointing uphill.

Simple, but very significant pointers for a new rider like myself! 🤌 Thanks bro!👌

Great video very helpful and informative....see ya in Daytona

Tie a piece of dry line to your parking puck , make it long eough to reach your handle bar , pull puck up with line , no leaning . Stand bike up , raise jiffy stand , pull puck up with line , wrap line around puck before shoving it into storage

Thanks for the good advice

Good information

Good tips, Tall!

I park the bike just like you Tall, leave it in gear. Absolutely.✌🏿👍🏾

AWSOME VIDEO

Great reminder on parking tips!! Almost got my bike hit because of pulling in too far in a parking spot.

TY, great common sense tips!

Thankyou for sharing some great tips. Just subscribed to your channel from 🇬🇧👍

I found out the hard way you should use your parking puck on black top on a real hot day...yeah lucky no damage

another key thing about staying away from the front is those that love to cross over that white line into the spot in front of them at times as well. pulling out though is always easier than backing up even if you're in a car.

Yes

Great video

Nice review keep up the good work traveling tall

This video will help me

great video

On a hot day, use your parking puck on the asphalt…it ground can heat up and the weight of your bike can cause the kickstand to dig in and the bike can potentially fall over

I always have a kickstand/jiffy-stand puck in my left saddlebag with some high vis string tied to it and I loop it around my left mirror. That way when I go to leave I just stand the bike up, pull the string to pick the puck up and toss it in my saddlebag.

I like your parking comment on kick stands on solf surfaces. Water bottle as a substitute to put your kick stand on. Living in Texas Dersert. Us bikers do park on sand surfaces at times. And it can be a problem with kick stands and the weight of your motor bike sinking in deep or even falling.

We also park closer to one side on our bikes at work. On many occasions we have parked 4 bikes in one parking spot. Because we all arrive and leave at the same time.

Park forward like that unless there's other riders with me, then depending on how many riders, we park all the way back in pairs side by side.

i park like you do with a little exception i try to save some space for another bike to the same parking spot

Good Video 👍

Nice video!

Thank you so much for your videos! I appreciate them all😮 7:39 7:40

Before I knew about the pucks I used a large brake pad from my car . Especially on hot black top as well as dirt and gravel

Love your content.. you introduce me to custom dynamics. But if you keep bike wheel straight can u lock it?
