Welcome!!! As a lifelong lover of Harley Davidson motorcycles, bikers, and the culture that goes with all of the above, I am excited to share my experiences with bikes, upgrades, and rallies. I am a motorcycle fanatic, raised on the back of my dad's Sportster, (I was littler then) even had my 14th and 15th birthday's at the Sturgis rally. It's his fault I'm obsessed with bikes. I promise to always be me, always be genuine, and never hide my screw ups. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun! Please feel free to e-mail me any topics that you would like to see covered on the channel at damonk@professional-monkey.com See y'all down the road!

Was the Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST the bike for me?
Was the Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST the bike for me? We got the chance to enjoy a 2024 @harleydavidson CVO Road Glide ST for a few weeks and it's an amazing bike. It's worth the hype and the investment for sure. I am not in the market till later this year, but it's going to be a hard choice when the time comes!

Are We In The Golden Age of Harley Davidson? Customizing Is So Easy! After building my latest chopper I have come to realize that new bikes are for a lot of people the way to go if you are a customizer. You can do anything to them if you have the money, time, and will. Pipes, body, audio, even motor are easy to do! Join this channel to get access to perks: czcams.com/channels/EwjM5DxA7-wIRcpQyi...

That's Not a Real Harley! And Other Stupid Things People Say... I get nostalgia, I really do. I love old @harleydavidson motorcycles, I love old cars, I love super basic, stripped down choppers, but I am GLAD that that isn't ALL THERE IS. Technology is cool. Performance is cool.

Is the Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST as awesome as they say? A friend of mine at @harleydavidson offered to loan me a 2024 CVO Road Glide ST to try it out for a few weeks, as I just sold my 2019 CVO Road Glide and might be making a purchase in a few months. So far, I have only been able to give it a top level look, but we will have fun with it for a few weeks. The 121 motor in this thing, t...

Ok' now' I have a question for you. I have a 2015 fatboy. As you can see from my profile picture, it has the shortly style VH pipes, and a aftermarket air cleaner. I bought it with these two already on it. I don't know if it was ever tuned, or what, so' what tuner do you think I should get to do the tuning by myself. I definitely want one that I can let the tuner do it by itself.
Fortunate to have been on a HD since 84. First was a Candy Apple Red XLX 1000 Sportster , that popped exhaust manifold gaskets when you least expect it ; from there … Just bought ur favorite according to this video FLTRXSE in Legendary Orange 🍊 Harley couldn’t have picked a better “Guinea Pig/Hog(🤣)” than urself to give their thoughts on the ST imho Great video man! Wham Bam Amsterdam (VH) 🧡🖤🩶💪😎
Easy for me, Custer in a abnb, central location for every ride, less drunks
I love your videos but the new Harleys with their air stack sticking outlooks like crap , & so does Co the carbon fiber. Makes the bike look cheap. Typical harley fking everything up so we have to customize. I swear they work with the after market companies & probably getting kickbacks
I looked it up; it’s a 2020 with almost 28k miles on it.
All them bags gotta GO!
Gangbanging and mc is the same thing
The '24 ST has a plastic oil pan and plastic 1/4 turn oil drain plugs which they did for weight reduction? Wow, Harley must have saved .05 lb. People are stripping out the drain plugs. Regardless It's not a good idea. That in itself is a deal killer for me. 😔
I have a 1980 shovelhead dresser like that that's blue and it does 85 to 95 mph and it's stock
In the perfect world, we would all have a garage filled with a variety of bikes that fit our specific needs. Sadly, in todays economy its difficult to pay for our necessities, and afford a luxury such as a motorcycle. With this being said, many of us have no option but to modify what we own to try and fit all our needs.
All the tech kind of puts me off. I'd love to have a glide on those 800 mile days across the country, but at all other times it seems like just something that can break that I won't be able to fix.
As you were going over the old Harley bits, nothing surprising. That was the 80’s. Then you said the engine had 50hp, and I was like WTF? I thought by then those engines were putting out around 70hp. My 05 Sportster put out 57hp and that bike probably weighs half as much as your bike. Can’t believe 50hp can move that bike with two people on it.
Love my 2010 Road King, most of the time I'm just fine with it not having a stereo or hands free cell capabilities. Hell, I didn't even have windshield the first couple years I had it. I'm the third owner so I'm guessing the windshield it came with is sitting forgotten in the back of one of the first two owners garage or basement. Having said that, if I should happen to come across a fairing that uses the existing QD windshield mount for easy install/removal with a plug and play stereo built in for the right price i would most likely get it for all day rides and long trips.
Thanks for this advice, already have tinnitus and age related hearing loss. We are getting our first Harleys in the next 6 to 12 months. I have a pair of Westone ear plugs for playing guitar and I wish I knew about them sooner. I'll definitely be using them while riding.
I wonder where that new bike will be in 43 years 😂 .
Please please please buy the street glide, every content creator has done the road glide and I so wanna see a street bought and customized
I have a 2022 road glide thats a full built bagger w a 131, inverted ohlins fork, ohlins rear and all cyro lighting anddddd less than 500 miles. Economy F’d me here in Colorado, 10 ways to sunday, and i can barely keep the bike and put food on the table. Im PISSED every time i watch a video!
Buy one a leave it stock.
Bank Robery!!!!! hahaha
The 2024 is really cool with all the new features, I just can't justify the expense right now. My 2013 Road Glide with some changes over time to make it more like the newer bikes is where I am able to put my money. Love the older bikes but they have really come a long way with the new bikes.
BUT what about that fairing design? I dunno if I can get behind that. And I'd be concerned about that digital dash if something goes wrong. I was looking at a $39k sticker price Ultra with a beautiful black and whiskey paint job that I'm definitely liking better. But I like Geezer Glides in full geezer mode, myself. My Evo Sportster chopper is cool, but hardtails are nice to look at, not the best to ride. I happen to love that Liberator. I like things that are bulky and ugly, you should see my ex.
Isn’t a liberator a sex toy?😅
Picked up my 24 RoadGlide, whiskey 🔥 and man I dig it. So much fun to ride, looks awesome. Adjusted the bars to be inline with the bars, Rockford st2 audio and Khromewerks mufflers. Just tossed some rear crash guards, shift link and few other decorative pieces.
St is not available here in Germany. At least just a few of them and they are long sold. We got pornhub still though😂 you’re funny 😆
Us old guys on our low riders don't care what you ride, its a shame you need a GPS to go any where
That bike is for me, but not my bank account...
I prefer analog gauges over digital. Sure I would like more than 40 horsepower. 80 horsepower is good for me. I'll take standard forks but give me duel disk. I don't need a stereo or any other electronics. I don't need a top bag either. I've done multi-state tours on various bikes. You can pretty much store on anything as long as you can get comfortable and you're able to pack the things you need.
Brother....buy the God damn bike!!!! You love it!! I saw one in person and I would buy the white pearl in a heart beat...I just sunk 10k in my 23...😢 I could actually just buy one!!
You hit the nail with that description
My brother called me a monster for not listening to music while I ride lol. I just bought a 2020 Street Glide Special in May, and I've yet to turn the radio on lol.
Can only afford one Harley it's a 2019 breakout all i need is the sound of the pipes a bag strapped to the sissy bar and the songs rollin in my head 🤘🤘🤘
Just get a Grey one. That's the free color this year. I mean if you're going tear it down and put new tins on, no sense in paying for paint.
In all my years of riding, my close calls…more of them have been because of that lane splitting, 40 mph over the speed limit traffic weaving jackass on a bike than any other cause. I wish they would keep it on the track
I'm riding a FLHTK ultra, but because I have blue tooth hearing aids I listen to my music etc through them , and don't use my bike stereo,
On your 1980 Tour Glide, my husband wants to know where the fuel gauge is?
I have a 2017 heritage, I wish I had a stereo! Lol! Everything I ask a question on the forums there are at least 3 or 4 people that say " my pipes " are my music! That's all you need! Lol😂 I enjoy your content! Hello from Tequesta!
Now that I’m older, I decided to add some tunes to my bike. I have a ‘17 RK and put the Boss 1k watt, 4 speaker, Bluetooth system on my ride. Two speakers on the handlebars, and two on the engine guards. Easy to install, costs less than $200 on Amazon, and me and the Mrs. enjoy music when we want too. The low end is a little thin, but still enjoyable to listen to while riding. Just a suggestion.
Looking forward to seeing you in Sturgis!! We are going to be stocked up on the new Shark Demon headlights you mentioned too. 😎👍👍
“Pinnacle of Harley Davidson engineering” Did not know the words “pinnacle” and “Harley Davidson engineering” should be used in the same sentence.
The laptop is cool but I bet it will not be working 45 years from now. The old gauges still work. That’s the trade off.
I bought the black model last Saturday. I'm very happy with it.
I bought my first ever Harley this year. Got a great deal on a new 23 CVO Street Glide in the Dark Platinum. Just got it back from the 1k service and I’ll be doing stage 1, KW exhaust, and SE wedge air cleaner tomorrow.
Great video. The one thing that never changes is the etiquette in this brotherhood/sisterhood that we belong to.
My first "tour ride" was last year from MS Gulf Coast area to Maggie Valley and on to the Northern end of the Blueridge Parkway. On a Tri Glide . Built to tour. Can't wait to do another !!
Never liked Harley's
