the first deer I hit four years ago I wasn't shook up, just pissed. The one I hit last year I don't remember before or after. Three days later when I woke up with a room full of family and in one hell of a lot of pain I was a very confused individual. Two weeks in the Hospital and months of trips to the Doctor. About six weeks later I looked at and bought my next ride. I left the mans place after dark and about a half mile down the road I came about as close as you can get to hitting a deer without actually hitting a deer. That anger thing quickly resurfaced. Will I ever forget my accidents, I see deer all the time, they wont let me. Does it mess with my happy time, on every ride. Riding can clear the mind, but sometimes I am just left with my thoughts. Nice to hear you are okay and back in the saddle again. Ride safe, but sometimes that still isn't quite enough to get ya home.

When you was talking about riding on rural country roads and having to worry about deer; I immediately thought about the big metal bumper trucks usually get put on and wondered how a sportster or backyard Harley build would look like with a diamond plate bumper on the front. For weight saving, someone could use diamond plate aluminum like what tool boxes for trucks are made of. Lowes sells that material in aluminum sheets of various thicknesses and someone could practice welding it together to make it fit to their preference. I would actually want to try that as a custom project. 😂🤣😂

One wreck, one back in the saddle (kinda prefer to say I was hit since it was very much the car's fault). I was out for 2 years, 1-1.5 of that basically required medically. It taught me a lot of things, but the most impactful one was that I'd rather accept the risk of riding than not ride. Once I got back in the saddle I doubled or tripled my yearly mileage and really got involved in the community aspect of it. Glad you're back! Cheers!!

Looks like it saves the entire weight of the bike from slamming down on your leg in a low side

Glad to see you back on two wheels. I think you’re right in that the best way to get through an accident mentally is to get back on as soon as you can. Overthinking is the enemy here.

I had a lady change lanes with me next to her at 65mph, when I stopped rolling down the highway without my bike, and I woke up, the only thing left of my shirt was the collar, had a lot of road rash, and pinched nerves in my neck, it took about 2 months to repair my bike and I was back on it, but I was very paranoid about people coming up next to me for a good month.

glad you are alright man.

Howdy 👋

The V100 platform and the Revolution Max platform are a good comparison. The standard and the v85 platform are a better comparison. Now we can debate.

Grey is the cheapest paint color to manufacture. Increased profits.

That WAS a collectible bike - until somebody bro'd it out with cheesy mods. They only built 3,000 of those. I own the '95 version in black and charcoal, no broage.

Heeyyy am in Orlando too with a stage 1 883. Let’s ride sometime!

I don’t have a Harley, but I do run on carbs! I’ve found from personal trials and tribulations that non ethanol is the way to go with any older bike running on carbs, and tbh probably just overall with any vehicle. Ethanol=corn=crap in gas=clogged carbs. All your standard options contain up to 15% despite octane levels. As you said at 5:00 running standard gas increases fuel cost over time as well as maintenance cost. Since switching to non ethanol, my gas mileage has nearly doubled 🤩 .50 more per gallon is worth it when it goes twice as far!

I own a 20 Road King Special and love my bike. With that being said, I had was able to test ride the Springfield Dark Horse at Americade this year. I didn't know much about this bike and I agree with Kenny's observations. The Springfield feels lighter and more nimble and the 116 rocks. I appreciated the sport mode, which the RKS doesn't have. I can't compare stock suspension because my bike had the Revo A's shocks installed when I purchased, but the Springfield suspension seemed good on the test ride. The exhaust note is good for stock. I think the remote locks for the bags are a nice touch as well. The stock bars on this bike are more comfortable than RKS stock bars, but I would change these out in favor of apes or T-bars anyway, along with the Springfield stock mirrors (they are functional, just not a fan of the mirror styling). This bike was a pleasant surprise and put a huge smile on my face test riding this bike! If you are considering a Road King Special, I would definitely check this bike out.

Good Review. A sequel huh? Interesting. I'd call it "The Bikerider" (singular) and follow the career of that violent, resentful kid who took over. He IS the Darth Vader of this storyline afterall. 🏴‍☠️ 💀😎

I have a 23 Heritage and I love it. It's my first bike. Mine is in gold. I just put a sissy bar on it. the only negative thing I'd say about it is that the saddle bags are a little small, and I can't really fit my helmet or an extra helmet in it. I'd have to jam it in the bag in order for it to fit.

I thought you were talking about OLD bikes, I have & ride a 1976 FXE Shovelhead. Am 2nd. owner, no idea of mileage, cheap aftermarket speedo's. Bought as a basket piece for $1100, but she has never left me on the side of the road. Been riding since 1964, first Harley in 1974, Sporty XLH 1000. Last time in Sturgis was 1981 on a 1971 FLH - those were the days - could camp in the city park for FREE !!!, 2 eggs, hash browns & coffee $2.50. That won't even get a cup of coffee today !!! God only knows how much money I have in her, custom parts, but motor is still stock 74 inches, and frame has never been cut. Still puts a smile on face just looking at her !!!!

It makes sense why they named the movie the bikeriders and not the vandals. Its more about the lifestyle of bike riders in the 50s

I tend to go to the range while I'm in Florida during the FA campout, if your on that side when we go.

It will be nice if Harley adds cruise control and USB port. And lastly the logo instead of painting sticker make more nicer metal pin! That's all my wishes

That’s a dirty Sportster

Well…. That’s coming off of my watch history 😂

You've got to explain the tires losing grip on hot pavement. You're the first person I've ever heard say that. Only time I've heard this, and experienced this, is at the race track. and those tire temperatures far exceed what you would ever experience on the road. And therefore, reaching even higher temps than normal on the race track. Strictly talking about tire grip, tires lose grip from the carcass not being up to temperature, air pressure, and the tires losing their oil from aging (especially in direct sunlight).

Just wanted to say, what a fantastic review. Really great info. Thank you!

Hey Kenny, great video. LMK if you ever want to head over to the range in Casselberry.

Should I? My state does allow Constitutional carry, so why not?

I just put these on my 2022 Lowrider S. Hopefully the will help avoid a tilt over damage.

If Harley adds a 4 gallon tank, cruise control, and a USB port instead of an empty holl and fairing wind cover. Change the color to Black, blue Metallic and wholla you have a nice bike. But the don't do it! Unfortunately

Ouchie! Good to know about the hand placement on that one 🥲 No therapist needed sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The last movie I paid too see was wild hogs, I went 2 times and enjoyed it much.

Great info. Much different than originally put out. A good honest review

I had a BRMC t-shirt that I would wear all the time real bikers used to see it and they thought it was cool.

Great video, man

Spot on review!

okay but one drink every time he says sportster one shot every time he says XL

It was worth the price of admission just to see Norman Reedus eating mashed potatoes with his fingers and hear Michael Shannon's drunken rant about Pinkos and college students but for me the real star was Toby Wallace as the Kid a modified Taco Bowman who not only takes the club away from Hardy but nearly steals the movie as well.The details were great.

BTW, how many miles on that bike? You got on it pretty good which they say not to do in the first 500 miles. Great Review, Thanks 😃😎

I pretty much like watching biker movies because of the bike no matter how bad the movie is , sons of anarchy was a good television series, but it was a little way out there like you mentioned where are the cops, love the old bikes , specially, the late 60s biker movies how the bikes backed in are being built now , good 👍🏼 movie critic

125

Yes i like it no spokes.

Can you put the passenger pegs down anymore?

Your right not a bad movie mr.quest.i give it an 8.5.rating.

Got mine to 107 before it decided to tap out 😁

Danny Lyon not Mike

They had one displacement...but they most certainly upgraded components that were prone to failure, changed and even skimped out in ares of the evo theough its lifespan

I agree that the movie is slow at times and the dialogue style was different, but how long has it been since a "Biker Movie" has been made? I enjoyed the movie having been a youngster in the mid 60's!

🤘🤘🤘

Thanks on leather jacket. Is there another brand to check out? Now for boots. I had a cheap Boot Barn harness boots, Cory something. Did hold up to motorcycle riding. I bought a pair of Boulet harness boots. So far the Canada boots holding up well. Chippewa stopped making harness and engineer boots. Schott's has engineer boots for $299. Don't know if schott's make them. Wesco has biker boots big price. Think White has expensive boots. Red Wing boots I have Pesco cowboy boot not oil tan. Oh don't forget to get two pair of chaps for summer and early spring and fall.

I thought the movie was okay. 7/10 seems about right. I was born in the late 50's so not sure, but I was surprised practically no one was wearing goggles, especially with no windshields. Also, I think the chick would have gotten Benny to change his t-shirt once in a while🙂

As fast as you can afford to build it!
