Getting Dirty in Sturgis: Exploring the Off-Road Side of Sturgis on Harley-Davidson Pan America's
The 4th Annual Sturgis Pan America Owners ride was an incredible time with over 30 bikes and a bunch of cool people ready to go explore the back country of the Black Hills. We escaped the crowds of the Sturgis Rally and saw things that 99% of riders never see or experience in the Black Hills. Don't miss this ride next year!

The 2024 Sturgis Rally GOT CRAZY
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed dnem
Burnouts, wheelies and lots and lots of shredded tires were going down at the Thunderdome the first weekend of Sturgis and I had to go check it out. So I jumped on my 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, left Deadwood and headed towards the eastern edge of Sturgis and the all new Thunderdome stunt area. It was an amazing show, especially seeing Kruesi run a 2024 Nightster and a 2024 Street Glide wi...
Best Ride In the Black Hills: (and we had it all to ourselves!!)
At least once during every Sturgis rally I get up at 5:30am to do the run down to Needles and Iron Mountain before anyone else in the Black Hills are awake. For that 90 minutes I get the two most unique roads in the entire country all to myself. This time, Randy tagged a long and it there was a bit more adventure than we planned with construction and dense fog.
104 Degree Ride to Sturgis: Sturgis Rally 2024 Part 1

We take Randy's Corner on the road this week and head to South Dakota for the 84th Sturgis Rally. I rode my 2024 Harley-Davids Road Glide, Randy was on his 2023 Road Glide ST and Jake was rolling his freshly hyped up Softail Standard. While it started off a balmy 80 degrees in Minneapolis the temps kept rising and we crossed the plains of South Dakota, eventually cresting at a scorching 104 deg...
Riding the 2 lanes with 2LaneLife. 2024 H-D Homecoming Festival
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 21 dnem
H-D Homecoming 2024 was in Milwaukee and an awesome event. Every Harley I've owned has at one time or another taken the trip to Juneau Ave, the home and heartbeat of Harley-Davidson. So I met up with the 2Lane Life guys in Iowa and made the run to Milwaukee. What a ride! If you didn't make it to Homecoming 2024, start making plans for 2025, it was a hell of a good time!
CRITICAL Pre-Trip Maintenance on your 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide

DO NOT forget this maintenance tip before you leave on you next big trip. Its critical to keep your bike running well. I'm prepping to go on another big ride, this time to the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival in Milwaukee and wanted to make sure my bike was ready to roll. Plus it needed some TLC after our Canada trip.
Best Place to Stay On Motorcycle Trips?
zhlédnutí 7KPřed měsícem
We’ve been doing motorcycle trips for 18 years and one place wins hands down as the best place to stay. Watch to find out! We do a yearly trip on our Harley-Davidson Baggers all across the United States. We load up the Road Glide's and Street Glide's and soak up as much as we can along the ride. Road trips are best way to see the country, especially on the back of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

How to Pack for Motorcycle Trips (and Banff Trip Update!!)
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed měsícem
Packing for a road trip, especially on a motorcycle is an art. You have an extremely limited amount of space and unlike a car you have to consider the weight and where everything is placed so you aren't off balance. On my 2024 Halrey-Davidson Road Glide I've got a pretty good system locked in and I walk through it, including the details on my RackPak. Enjoy! H-D Weekender Bag: www.harley-davids...
Installing Thrashin Supply Riser and Bars on my 2024 Road Glide for Sturgis!

With the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival and Sturgis looming in the distance, it was time to put on the Thrashin Bars and Riser set up. The stock bars on my 2024 Road Glide are the best Harley-Davidson has ever done, but I prefer the T-Bar look over the mini-apes. So its another visit to Randy's Corner!

NEW BIKE, NEW GEAR! Why I'm Switching Helmets brands

Since I started over with a brand new 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, it made sense to refresh everything and get a new helmet and new riding vest. The old vest was hard to part with, because it has SOOOO many stories from the past 12 years, but it was time. Hope you enjoy it!

We finally got the crew together to get a group ride in, which was a great chance to do a final shakedown on the Road Glide before our Banff trip. I ended up getting a Klock Werks 12" Sport Flare because I needed a taller windshield than the Harley-Davidson 10" Windsplitter. My brother brought his new bike, so we all got to check it out for the first time. It was a perfect night for a ride! Klo...

That was a fun ride. Looking forward to next year.
@@workinwithmrwilson Glad you enjoyed it!
@@FullTankAdventures nothing like the Dirt Glide when I'm not on the Road Glide
@@workinwithmrwilson 100%!!
I had been to some of those beautiful places you went and I love it especially the Bighorn Mountains.
@@user-nn5ll2po9b The Bighorns are beautiful!
The 'helmet in the freezer' idea is pretty great. Also, go to the bathroom and soak your undershirt in the sink. Squeeze it out and put it back on. The air flow thru the mesh jacket over the wet shirt helps tremendously. You can also go into most "beer coolers" at gas stations these days. They are usually 34 degrees... Cools you down fast
@@mark2graves-MC The cold helmet is a game changer! Great idea on the shirt as well.
Ridden the Rattler a few times when in that area and always enjoyed it. Lunch at Vinyl Pizza in Hot Springs is great!
@@ThomasOzOsburn Agreed! It’s a great ride.
Thanks for the good video 👍👍
@@jimweagant8920 Thank you for watching!
Great video & great ride. Didn’t realize you were behind me in the start of the ride filming🤣🏍💨🤙
@@billleong Ha! Good thing you stayed up right! 🤣🤣
💯
@@2147crew 🤘🤘
😂 sand and I are not friends!
@@wayweroam We are not 🤣🤣
That stunt show was so crazy! Kruesis Nightster makes me want to throw a Baja on mine! Great video!
@@ATCJeremyrides They put on an amazing show?
We are heading to Superior Wisc tomorrow if you want to join us.
@@ericjohnson6098 Wish I could, have a great ride!
@@FullTankAdventures also Sept 20 heading to the Black hills for a fall ride. If you’re in the area let me know!
I see you went to get hardware did the extended bolts that came with the 1” spacers not work?
@@jeremyallen4828 They sent the wrong washers. They were too thick so we had to get thin ones.
@@FullTankAdventures oh ok. I’ve got the same set I just don’t have the 1” spacers. But I’m fixing to order some was just wondering if everything in the kit works or not.
@@jeremyallen4828 Everything else was good to go. Once we had the right washers everything came together nicely.
Wow man... the hubris of expecting someone to not do their job so you can make a video is unbelievable. Who do you think you are?
Very helpful
@@Bigvernsmotolife 🤘🤘🤘
What type of phone mount do you have? Looks like a Quadlock but I don't see a dampener.
@@Edward-Norton I use Rokform, and a Rokform phone case. You can get a dampener but I haven’t needed it.
@@FullTankAdventures Thanks. I don't mean to sound stupid, but I didn't know about Rokform.
@@Edward-Norton No worries! I’ve used them for a while. I like the locking mechanism and the magnet on the back of the case.
Were the 24’s running belts or had they switched to chain drive?
@@user-ns5mc6yf3l Good question, I’m not sure. You’d have to go watch some of Kruesi’s videos to know for sure.
They definitely layout some rubber!
@@2147crew Yes they do! I nearly ate some of it 😬
That stunt show was wild, definitely gotta check it out next time
It was awesome, those guys crushed it.
Definitely will be catching this next year 🔥
@@FXDLSBrooklyn It was really awesome. Loved it!
What are your thoughts on the Bell SRT Modular helmet after putting some miles on it?
@@kyleleo-j4x I really like it. It’s WAY quieter than my old Sedici. The Sedici was very comfortable for a cheap helmet but the difference in listening to my Cardo in the Bell was significant.
My wife quit riding with me a few years back but I remember a year...2015 I believe...we went to Colorado to see our son in late July and August. It was 111 actual in Kansas and between Salina and Hays her leg actually got burned and her boot melted. We hit Salina about noon and should have stopped after lunch for the day but pressed on in the afternoon intense heat towards Hays. We wanted to get to the Springs... that would have been about a 14 hour day on the bike if we had... In Hays we stopped at that one gas station for almost 2 hours while she got her breathing right, drank some fluids and kept talking about going west with someone in a car if they had room and I could follow, lol. To be fair...she was really having a hard time. We got a hotel, stayed late the next morning, put some basic burn meds and gause on her leg and duck taped her boot. We made it that day to Colorado Springs. Crazy memories but kinda wonderful too as I will never again be able to have her behind me. I love riding and over 40+ years have ridden year around a lot...every weather... but it's funny, the rain, the storms, the hall, the ice, riding thru a wildfire and sandstorms... they all make great memories, haha!
@@Motorcyclewindtherapy Crazy story, thank you so much for sharing! The memories are what make the trips!
How are these grips for comfort? (not just heat) I want to pick them up but worried with how little rubber is on the grip. Thanks for the videos!
@@dougl4680 The only issue I have with them is they are a little larger than I’d like. But the grips are comfortable otherwise. Enjoying them quite a bit.
@@FullTankAdventures Thanks! I found you searching for T bars. As you were driving I knew you were in the southwest metro. I just picked up the exact same bike at Viking Land Saturday. Searching your videos now to see how you like the Road Sofa.
@@dougl4680 Thanks for watching! Those heated grip saved my hands from being ice cold in Canada back in June! Congrats on the new bike!!
As always another great Full Tank video. My 2-1 made a huge difference but adding the 511 and also running it in custom mode with max throttle response will probably do wonders. #keepripping
@@rippingon2wheels 🤘🤘🤘
Fun video and great ride. Have done all 3 routes and yes 14 is probably my favorite but the bridges the other two ways are better. Pretty sure i actually saw you guys roll through Silver Lake on your way out. And 14 has the T34 stop.
@@davidhertzog2628 I know, that’s rhetorical rub. 14 is better but that bridge on 12 is epic. In the way home I took 14 and both early gas stations were closed! I BARELY made it to Pierre…
My wife almost blacked out running past Needles to Kingman in 117 on the way to Sturgis. We experienced the same paving construction with us having to wait on fresh pavement.
@@TheKaffeeKlatsch It was hot for everyone that first weekend. A scorcher!
Thanks the ride along 👍👍🇺🇸
@@jimweagant8920 thanks for watching!
Absolute pleasure meeting you at Sasha’s block party……

Who needs riding gear on a 3 gallon tank lol, two ways to learn would be the wrong way and the hard way, enjoyed the video✌️
@@Rpm68 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching!
Hope Jake knows a good dermatologist.
@@stevenbuis4490 🤣🤣🤣
Every time I see one of these bikes, it looks like a 21st century version of my '86 FXRD.
Seeing pictures of my 2019, it just looks old. Love the styling of the 24’s.
I grew up in White Bear Lake, just north of the Twin Cities!! I've also made the trip to South Dakota numerous times because my grandma lived in Sioux Falls. Ride safe!! Sounds like a great ride!!
@@soujrnr it was toasty but fun! I’ve decided 14 is the best of the three options. 212 is ok but 14 is the way to go. Other than the bridge across the river.
So how are the bars? How bad is the vibration in your hands?
@@bumrush5314 No vibration at all. I installed their steel bushings to replace the rubber ones and I thought I would get some vibration but 2500 miles to Milwaukee and then to Sturgis and they are great.
Good ideas! Much more reasonably priced than a standard run of the mill motel.
@@wingandhog Agreed! And way more amenities!
I noticed you have the adversary hand grips. I've heard some grumblings that the clutch comes in contact with the left hand grip causing some wear when in use. Have you experienced this?
@@67shunn Nope, haven’t had that issue at all.
Adjust it if it does. Cmon, people should at least be able to do simple stuff like that.
I started with a very dark shade like you have but I ended up going w the smoky shade… I could still see through it and it looks good.
@@GoodGuysCarry Yeah, I wanted to try it long distance on this trip. But I will be going to a lighter shade. Still fairly dark but one that you can see through. Really digging the Klock Werks 10”.
With the 511 cam install, does it have to be installed by a dealer or can you do it for it to still be under warranty?
@@robertongradi1567 That’s a great question, I don’t know the answer. But I’ll be doing it myself (or rather I’ll be supervising Randy).
I’ve really enjoyed all the Homecoming videos from everyone. Looking forward to hopefully going next year. Well done sir.
@@TyFromTennessee Thank you! It was truly so much fun. Felt like a big family gathering. I really enjoyed it.
That vest is way rad.
@@2wheeltommy996 Thank you! I was going to retire it but I’m having trouble letting it go.
@@FullTankAdventures I remember you mentioning that in Iowa City. 👍🏻
@@2wheeltommy996 I’m very torn. The new vest is a better vest but the old one has so many great stories!
My bike made the Vlog. lol.
@@2wheeltommy996 heyo!!
Great video buy a tour pack get rid of that ugly box on the back.
@@MatthewTinsley-cq9lw I like it 🤷🏻♂️
Always a great time in Milwaukee for HD homecoming!!!
@@tiffanyrene so much fun!
There are TONS of rides better than the Fail of the Dragon. Thanks for sharing your ride! I live in the Tri-cities area in northeastern Tennessee, and we have the best riding I've ever experienced. You should look up the Dragon Slayer ride. It's a 150-mile loop. It's just east of Ocoee, TN. From Hwy 74 out of Ocoee, head east to Hwy 30 north. Take that up to 315 (Tellico Reliance Road) and follow 315 up to 39, then 39 eastward to 68. Go right on 68 toward Tellico Plains and continue south through Turtletown to Ducktown. Pick up the 64 west back towards Ocoee. You'll get back to 74 and that completes the loop. Ride safe!
We’re coming back next year and plan to ride and stay east of Asheville. In this trip we stayed north and west of Asheville. Any must rides on the eastern side? We’ll do BRP again in a few spots.
@@FullTankAdventures Just east of Asheville are three rides that have overlapping sections. Those rides are the Bat Cave (Sidewinder), the Camel Toe, and the Saluda Bat Cave. If you were to go a bit further southeast, you'll find a ride called the "Train Wreck." Send me an email at soujrnr@pm.me and I can send you a photo of the area on a map, and I might even have GPX files of them if you're using a navigation app that uses that format.
@@soujrnr Will do, thanks!
Great video! We agree with you on QT for gas station food but we also like Loves gas stops. Hope to see you again soon!
@@2upjourneyjunkies Loves is also a solid choice! We don’t have many of those up north.
Thanks for the video 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@jimweagant8920 Thanks for watching!
lol, that’s happened to me many times
🤣🤣🤣
KOAs are great. I have stayed at a lot of them. The owners/hosts always are great people. They are safe, clean and relaxing. I have also used KOA's to park a truck and trailer for $5/day when we have trailered out and then started our trip. If you get the chance visit and stay at the West Glacier KOA near Glacier NP. It is awesome!
@@ThomasOzOsburn we’ve done the same with the truck and trailer. So easy!
@@FullTankAdventures Out of curiosity - where are you located. I am in South Middle Tennessee, moved here in January from North Texas.
@@ThomasOzOsburn The Great White North, Minnesota.
@@FullTankAdventures I haven't made it up there yet.
I hate that I missed Milwaukee this year. Your was a little dirty lol 😂 Do you use pig spit on your motor to bring that black on the motor back to life?
See you there next year! I used everything to try and clean that bike, she was DIRTY.
Nice places but not budget friendly
@@chriswalker8074 The camping cabins are. KOA is almost always cheaper than other cabin options in our opinion. That’s why I like it.
