We are a family of 4 (and 2 dogs) that enjoy doing all kinds of things outdoors, especially camping and riding motorcycles. We enjoy watching others do the same, especially when we're not able to get out, so we made this channel to show our experiences. It's also a way our families can keep up with us and see what we're up to without enduring the boring cell phone slide shows. Hopefully you will at least enjoy watching and maybe get some ideas of places to explore. Please feel free to comment and give suggestions of what you would like to see or how we can improve the channel to make it more fun to watch.

Camping at Desoto State Park, Fort Payne, Al.
In this video we are camping at Desoto State Park in Fort Payne Alabama. They have a lot of hiking trails and biking trails, but I wasn't able to get much video of those because of rain and my camera wasn't lined up well when I was biking. :( The pool was very nice, especially for a State Park. Or really for any public pool for that matter. Anyway, thanks for watching!

Camping at Stephen C Foster State Park/ Okefenokee Swamp
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 6 lety
In this video we stayed at Stephen C. Foster State Park in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. We went on a tour of the swamp and would definitely recommend the tour. It's a calm, low speed tour that goes back somewhat deep into the swamp. The park is so dark at night you can see more stars than you realize are up there! Along with the weird, green, dripping light. :) Thanks for watching and, as a...

This is a video of our first camping trip in our new camper. We stayed at Crooked River State Park in St. Marys, Ga. We toured the St. Marys Submarine Museum and it bright back some old memories for Mike. Jenn and the boys got to see a little bit of what it was like for him on the boat. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy it. Please let us know if you have any tips or suggestions. Royalty...

I have lived in this area for years and never knew about this park, so I thought I'd do a video to show others who have never heard of it what it was like. I hope you enjoy and hope it helps you decide if you want to visit sometime. Thanks for watching! Music: www.bensound.com
Rush Big Louie slip-ons no baffles
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 7 lety
2016 Street Glide with Rush Big Louie Slip-ons. I took the baffles out just to see what it would sound like and how loud it would be. I like the sound, but it's pretty loud and I got tired of it pretty quickly. I hope this helped out if you were shopping for exhaust. Thanks for watching!
Rush Big Louie Slip-ons 2016 Street Glide
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed 7 lety
This is my 2016 Street Glide Special that I just installed Rush Big Louie Slip Ons with the 2.5 inch baffle. The videos don't do them justice. They are deeper and a little louder than stock, but when you get on the throttle they come to life. You can still hear them riding down the road, but they're not obnoxious. Please comment with any suggestions you may have and thanks for watching! Music: ...

This video shows how to change the tag lights on a 2010 Kia Forte Sedan. I could only find information on the Koupes, so I wanted to make this video for others with the same problem. Thanks for watching and if you liked it please give me a thumbs up and comment with any suggestions.
Cades Cove Rich Mountain Road drive
zhlédnutí 18KPřed 9 lety
We decided to video the route from Cades Cove to Townsend, Tn. on Rich Mtn. Road. It was a very easy gravel road that took around an hour to travel without being in a hurry. An older couple passed us in a Lincoln Town car and appeared to be in a hurry, so you can see it's not a difficult road to travel. Thanks for watching, I'm open to suggestions for making the videos better and if you liked i...
This is the environment that I love but I am getting a weird vibe.??! I literally have goose bumps as I am typing? What is the history I think I am going to have to google it. Would definitely not do this drive at night! It's a nice break from paved roads thank you for sharing! ...Let me go see why the vibe?!? 😂 I might not wanna go at all! 😂
I have big Louie slip ons with a cobra header, boy does it sound great now. I have had v-Hines etc and these sound better in my opinion. The sound is perfect.
Agreed! I think it’s the best sound out there. But I’m probably a little biased haha.
My '16 RGU's previous owner installed a Rush header - ceramic coated in and out, no cat, and Rush Big Louie slip-ons with 2.5" baffles. Also Arlen Ness air cleaner and V&H FP-3 (no O2 sensors). The exhaust borders on too raspy so I'll need to repack the baffles. Sounds great, but I know the sound of blown out packing from my other bikes with similar baffles. I like my Guzzi LeMans LOUD but for my Glide a bit more subdued for travel will be welcome. I won't run either without baffles, the Guzzi (built) would break glass.
I agree, no baffles are too loud for me as well. But they do sound great!
@@traversingwindingpaths3288Well, I did pull the Rush baffles to check the packing and was very surprised to see it's all there. The Big Louie's with header and 2.5" baffle are just loud, similar to your no-baffle sound but more high end. I'll keep the header but will be on the lookout for something mellower for slip-ons.
This rich mountain road does have way more gravel on it then is on the Parsons branch road. It was quite a bumpy ride this past Sundaywhen I drove on Parsons branch rd. There were ruts in the roadway from heavy rain runoff on the steeper inclines and declines on that road. . Glad I choose to ride on the Parsons branch road instead of taking rich mountain road, but my return trip to Kingsport TN would have been a much shorter drive if I had taken rich mountain road back over into Townsend.
Thank you for the tip I got to change my bulbs 💡😀
what is the model of the license plate light?
Sorry we sold this car several years ago, but just searching I think it is this one. Sylvania Long Life Clear 168 Incandescent Bulb Part# 168LLBP
A cool family video thanks for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! going in a couple weeks.
Thanks! We can’t to go back, we really liked it. Make sure to take some “no-natz”. The gnats can get thick down here sometimes. 👍🏻
Nice I didn’t know how to change mine
Awesome, I’m glad it helped! 👍🏻
God forbid you should move your camera in closer for the bulb work Slappy....!
Sorry I couldn't get in there for every detail.
Not particularly helpful. It would have been more helpful to give us a close-up on removing the wiring clip. Push-in and down is not helpful if you are not familiar with where to push and when to pull down.
Yeah, I apologize. I wasn’t very good at video back then. I would redo the video, but we don’t have the car anymore.
Great comparisons! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
How do you undo the clip?? I've gotten that far but I can't get the clip out 😭
I’m sorry, I can’t remember and we haven’t had this car for a long time. I wish I had made a better video, but I obviously was new at it. Again, sorry I can’t help more.
Great video for a wife, caregiver of her hubby, who has to rely on videos such as these. And pay a lot to have this done.
I’m glad it helped! 🙂
This helped my change out my own bulbs with LEDs, one side had burned out and the dealer wanted $18 to change one bulb. It is difficult to see what you're doing in the video once the liner is off. For anyone else attempting this, the tabs are on the side of the light tan bit connected to the gray part. I wasn't able to turn out the gray part by hand, but pliers helped immensely (should NOT have to use a lot of force though).
I’m glad it helped. I apologize for not getting some better views, I hadn’t figured out what I was doing yet with the cameras. 😁
We visited here in 2017 on our way to Chattanooga TN and loved it. We would love to go back and camp there. Thanks for the video- from LA
We really enjoyed it, too and can't wait to go back. We couldn't believe how big and nice the pool was, especially for a State Park! The whole park was really nice. Thanks for the nice comment!
I got a burned light for 5 months and now I know how to change it. I will replace both and I will switch to LEDs. Thank You For The Video. GOOD JOB. 👍🏻
Great, I'm glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words. :)
Thank you! You made it look much easier and far less time consuming than it actually was😂😅 but I wouldve never been able to do it without this vid. No more red and blue lights behind me for a dumb little bulb😂
+juan molina haha! Well to be honest, I did it once before I made the video, just to be sure I knew how to do it. Glad it helped and thanks for the nice comment! 😊
Nah fr I been pulled twice for the same dumb reason
Thanks for the video, i got stopped by a fucking cop cause one of those license plate lights was busted, now i know how to fix it
I'm glad it helped! Thanks for the comment, and hopefully he didn't get you for anything else. I know they use that a lot for the stop.
After about 20 videos, this is by far the best one. I used over ear headphones and got a true sound of your work. Sounded awesome and thank you.
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope it helped. Thanks for your kind words!
I truly appreciate your video! I have V/H head pipes “no cat” with Big Louise slip on’s and would so appreciate taking the baffles out I love that sound! But really want nothing to do with a tuner nor do I want to spend that much! I wish they could reflash or something but just looking around every says you need a tuner.
Thanks! It was a great excuse to ride and experiment. :) I'm not sure if they can just refresh for no baffles, but the Fuel Pack tuner was a breeze to use. It was somewhat expensive (for me, anyway), but it worked really well, and if I can figure it out.... haha
Couple questions for you did you buy a V/H fuelpak tuner. It seems to be the best out there.. it must just stay plugged in all the time then?
I just re read what you said and got my answer lol thank you!
Lol no problem. It doesn’t have to be plugged in all the time, but it’s easier to leave it that way. Not that it’s hard to get in and out, but that way you can do the auto tune now and then just to make sure everything is still good. Plus you can do diagnostics with it, too.
i live in kingsland... hope you enjoyed yourself
Thanks! We had a lot of fun. I've been to King's Bay several times, but always for work. It was nice to relax and actually have time to look around.
If you haven’t already done it, you should check out Fort clinch in Nassau county Florida. The Okefenokee swamp, people like to think of this place being pretty backwoods, But there is a lot of beauty in this region.
@@bropellerjohnson919 We did go to Fort Clinch, but it was so windy we didn't get any good video. It was pretty interesting, though! You do have a lot to see and do there, we really liked it and will definitely be back.
Can't see what your doing.
Like WTH!!!
Thanks for this. My wife has a Forte and I had to change her license plate lights!!
That's great, I'm glad it helped!
Ur mom gay
🍆
Sure, that makes plenty of sense. But thanks for watching!
Rush has the worst customer service in the industry. Even worse when they are purchased from West End Motorsports. Do yourself a favor and use any other brand and retailer.
I can't comment on that part, I bought the pipes in this video from someone on Ebay. The quality and sound of mine were great (I've since traded bikes), luckily I didn't need any customer service. I haven't decided yet what I'll use on the new bike.
I found just the opposite . Don't know about W.E.M. Went only through Rush . They listened to my needs .Three days later the mufflers where at my door !!
Thanks for the video, this helped me access the bulb location. Had a big problem putting the plastic screws back in when re-attaching the liner. These aren't really screws, they're more like plastic tabs. A good half hour of finagling trying to get these tabs back into their holes, including a frustration break, before I got the screws back in. I wonder what the shop would have charged for this?
Yeah, those tabs are frustrating. After they are used they kind of get loose and don't hold very well anymore. I wonder, also, what they would charge. It takes a little while to change, but I'd hate to pay a fortune for just a bulb change. I'm glad I could help, though!
So there is no need to adjust the fuel system if you just remove the baffles? I have a 2017 Road Glade with Big Louies and I took the baffles out and like the sound. Will engine be ok?
Hi, Russ, sorry for the late reply. I've been told that if you still have the catalytic converter you don't need to adjust anything, because it doesn't change the back pressure enough. I only had them out long enough to do the video and I put them back in. If I were going to leave them out, just to be safe, I would want to have a tuner or at least a reflash from someone that can do that.
I loved the high speed video.... 'bout fell out of my chair on a couple of the curves in Cades Cove! LOL
Haha! Glad you made it out safely! :)
The maunel in for your car even tells you. Thank you
Mine showed how to change the bulb, but not how to get to it.
great video helped me on my 13 forte thanx
Good deal, I'm glad it helped!
I just returned from the Smokies on a business trip, wasn't able to enjoy the mountains as I hoped. Totally forgot about Rich Mtn Rd, Parson Branch Rd, and Forge Rd. Thanks for the video, hopefully I'll remember this route the next time I'm there.
Thanks for watching! There are so many options that it's hard to see them all. These kind of videos let me see what I missed or get ideas for future trips, so I figured I'd add one.
Best exhaust review I've seen. Very helpful and deep in the analysis. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! I thought about what I'd like to see/ hear without having to search several videos and hoped it would help others decide. Thanks again and ride safe!
Years ago, I exited Cades Cove from the southwest, driving a Corolla on Parsons Branch Road all the way to US 129. I do not recall it being difficult at all. I will be there in August for the solar eclipse and was thinking a return to Townsend via Rich Mountain Road might be a nice diversion. We will likely have a large passenger van or suv. Would that present any difficulty? Are there pullouts to let other vehicles pass, or will there be a risk, as Mark Gelbart remarks, of traffic jams? Thanks.
There weren't any difficult sections that would cause you any problems, at least not when we were there. It's been 3 years since we were there, but it was pretty much gravel the whole way. Also back then there weren't very many areas to pull over, but it is supposed to be a one way road from what we were told. Traffic wasn't very heavy on it at all, we only saw a couple of other vehicles. It's a very nice drive, I hope you enjoy it!
Hey thanks for making this video! Saved me a lot of time fumbling around with the housing.
No problem, I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing. A buddy and me will be taking a small RV on this path this Saturday.
Awesome! I hope you guys enjoy it, I'm jealous. haha Thanks for watching!
Are the sb2 bid Louie's , I have a 16 RG special west end recommended the sb2 as they have 3 in baffle on left and 2.5 in baffle on right . Great video with all the different sound bites too well done
I'm not sure which ones these are exactly, but the baffles are both the same size as far as I know. Never thought to check, actually. And thanks for the kind words! Be safe!
Looking at these slip ons for my 2017 M8 RGS, how happy are you with them? Sound is subjective to every ear but they sound almost like the CFR mufflers... Thoughts?
I love them so far. I like the deep sound and they are similar to the CFR, but I think they are quieter than the CFR. That could just be because I still have the CAT in, though. Plus they are cheaper than the CFR's and are easier to find.
Not a problem, once you pull the cat,anything over 2.25 gets a little OBNOXIOUS.....( just my opinion of course ) Looking forward to your next video with that CATLESS head pipe.
Ya GOTTA, pull that CAT!!!!!! if ya do.......don't go with any baffle size over 2.25.....
Yeah, that's the plan. I'm saving up for a full system to replace all of that, until then I guess it'll be quiet. Sorry for the late response and thanks for the advice. I didn't think about the 2.25.
Mine has a 2.5 and I can still hear my tunes.
how do you like riding with no baffles. especially on the highway. I have a 2012 SG and have the same exhaust set up.
I put the baffles back in, the droning was too loud in the helmet without them. I didn't try it without a full faced helmet, though.
Traffic jams and no wildlife. How disappointing.
Sorry, can't make the animals come out.
Weekends are full of blacks and Mexis. Go there during the week.
is there any resonance with this 4 inch and 2.50 inch baffle
I don't notice any. It is louder with a full face helmet, but not obnoxious at all. They're actually fairly quiet at speed until you crank the throttle.
Is the CAT still installed?
Yes, CAT is still in and everything else is still stock.
I'm assuming you still had stock head pipe?
Yessir, everything else was stock.
Great comparison buddy, Thanks for posting.
Thanks! I hope it helped! Sorry it took so long, I replied when you posted, but it didn't save for some reason.
Is this the old ccc road?
Sorry, but I'm not sure. It's a pretty modern road, I don't know if it's that one after being redone or not.
My husband and I took Rich Mountain Rd. in June 2016 and it was well worth it! It was such a beautiful ride with not many people at all.
Yes, very nice ride! We can't wait to get back there.
Thanks Mike from Columbia
Thanks, glad it helped!
