The Harley-Davidson Sportster: Could It Be The Best Harley?
zhlédnutí 326Před měsícem
Simple, inexpensive to own, reliable and fun to ride, the Harley-Davidson Sportster just might me the best motorcycle the Motor Co. has ever produced. If you own a Sportster, then you get it.

After a long hiatus, I've decided to return to motovlogging. This video explains (kinda) why I took a break, and why I'm resurrecting my channel.

    Have watched all your vlogs (and I mean from back when), glad to have you back. Have you ever thought of adding some of your guitar playing to your vlogs as background music? Have no idea if that's possible. Do like your commentaries, you have always had quality vlogs. I'm having shoulder surgey next week so my riding season got cut short this year so keep the vlogs coming.

      @@johnfrench4739 hey, buddy, I really appreciate that! I’ve thought about doing my own background music, and I may do that at some point. The heat has kept me off the bike as of late, but I have been strumming my guitar 🙂. I certainly hope you make a quick recovery from shoulder surgery. A co-worker has been out with rotator cuff surgery. His recovery therapy has been slow, but he’s getting there. Take care, my friend, and heal quickly.

    I’m a third gear rider 35-50. Lucky we live where we can ride at such speeds without traffic lights and the traffic that goes with them.

      I'm a few miles from Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point, NC. I would prefer not to ride in town, but I do occasionally. Thankfully, I live in the country with some great roads to ride. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe!

    Rt 16 is definitely one of my favorite roads now. Great ride and thanks for leading us. Since it was so hot last week riding, I rode with my visor open most of the time and my audio is pretty bad, but I’ll try to cobble some videos together with some music and maybe voice overs to chronicle this great trip too. Had a wonderful time with you, Bill and John. Take care my friend.

      It was a great trip. I would ride route 16 again in a heartbeat. Take care, buddy.

    Looked like you guys had a great trip Stoney. Highway 16 looks like an excellent secondary road and quite scenic. Thanks for sharing!

      It’s a hidden gem, for sure. I didn’t video the best parts of the road, which is a shame. But we had a great ride. Thanks for commenting, my friend. Take care!

    I’ve never ridden the older Sportsters but will some day. Your riding style and mine are very similar. I did test ride the new Nightster Special last year and liked it. It was comfortable, had ABS, cruise control, 6 speeds and a lot of other features but the price was just too high. Harley-Davidson lowered the price on the 2024 models I’m sure because they weren’t selling. I think a used Evo powered Sportster at around $6 or $7k is hard to beat. Good video and you should keep this bike.

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      I’ve pretty much talked myself into keeping it. You should ride an Evo Sporty with forward controls. They are a blast. Thanks, buddy, for watching and commenting.

      About the only thing I don’t like about the Tiger is the Bluetooth connectivity. I will try your suggestion and see how that goes. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment. Ride safe.

    I don’t understand why so many “reviewers” ride around so much in 6th gear like it’s a requirement to get there as quickly as they can regardless of what speed they’re putting about at. Ride the motor! Use the gearbox! I cringe watching people ride a Triumph at 50 mph in 6th gear. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should 😢

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      First of all, I stated that I'm not a reviewer. I'm just a dude on a motorcycle. Secondly, you know you have the ability to click off the channel, right? No need to get worked up over something so trivial, buddy. Just move along and have a great day! Thanks for watching, though.😉

    Certainly the most iconic model H-D has made in the last 65 years. I had always shied away from them because I thought I was too big for them. Being around people that have them or had them has taught me that they’re not just for girls…and that they’re not necessarily an easy bike to learn on. But it’s clear they are fun.

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      They aren’t for everyone, and some people just don’t fit on a Sporty. But some folks don’t fit on a Honda Rebel, either. I know why HD had to stop making the Evo, but the Nightster sure ain’t selling. Thanks for the comment, buddy.

    Well, just found this channel. I’m sure you’ve mentioned it, but I’m old and slow. 😮Doesn’t seem like you’ve had the Triumph a year! Nice looking bike. That’s a great road, very twisty once you hit Brushy Mountain Rd. Been on those roads many, many times. Ride safe.

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      I've ridden that road a few times, but I always forget about it. I love the scenery. There is nothing wrong with being old and slow. I'm right there with you, lol. Thanks for watching, buddy. Ride safe!

    Beautiful motorcycle and your reasons for going the ADV route are the same as mine. I love the lighter weight of my new BMW F750 GS and all the cool tech and safety features. The Triumph does have a few things stock that I wish mine had like the hand guards, heated seat and fog/driving lights. May have to add those to mine. Looking forward to our trip to WV in a few weeks. Take care buddy.

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      I’m shocked at how similar our motorcycles are. I’m really enjoying my Tiger, but I’d have been happy on a BMW, too. Let’s hope and pray the weather is good for our trip. I hate to get my hopes up, but I’m really looking forward to riding with you and John. Take care, buddy.

    Great to see you on CZcams my friend! I’ve missed your vlogs and am so glad you’re back. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and value our friendship more than you know. Sportster looks and sounds great. It’s a girl’s bike as you know, but you look great on it! Take care and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your ramblings.

    • @NCStoney
      @NCStoney Před měsícem

      We’ll see where this goes. I appreciate you watching and commenting, my friend. I figure I’ve got a camera, and I’ve got a motorcycle, so may as well ride and talk to myself. Take care, buddy.

    You got it right. Just do it for you! That's the reason I do it, I have said it before that I want to be able to look back one day when I can't do it no more and just reminisce about the days I could. I don't worry about views or comments not looking to make money off of it. Just want to share the experience if someone comes along for the ride great. If not, then that's great as well.

    • @NCStoney

      Yup, that’s the attitude I’ve always had . Thank you, my friend, for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it!
