Welcome! We are Heather and Brian and we live full-time on the road!
We started our CZcams journey to document traveling to some of the best places the United States has to offer. In 2023, looking for a more adventurous lifestyle, we traded motorcycle travel for vanlife and are now exploring the country from our self converted camper van!

Haha
Didn't know the circus came to town.
Oh yeah. Every August lol
She is definitely your queen!
👍😜✌️
trying to find something similar that would fit on indian chieftan..any ideas?
@@seanc8420 depending on where you're planning to mount it, you might click through these and see the different mounts they have (link should be in the description). I know they have flat mount and bar mount clamps you can use. And it's a simple 12 volt so wiring wise you could tap into a running light pretty easily I would think.
I buy shinko fantastic grip I dont need a tire lasting 20,000 I want traction i do everything but mounting on the rim my shop does it for $20 mounting
Got any turkey legs lately?❤😊👍🏼🍻🍗❤
Full Throttle Saloon! I was there 4 years ago and had a blast!.🥰
All of nice toys here you guys be safe out there your buddy from Oxford

Gabby's the Queen of the Rally.

Indeed!
I thought you weren’t going to be in Sturgis this year?
We aren't. We had some videos we never posted so I figured this would be a good time to edit and post them :)
Where’s your sun glasses 😂😂
That’s a sore subject, you know this! 🤣

To many redundant tools. What part of NE you located?
5 allen wrenches and 2 open ends is too many? lol We are nomads now so we don't live in Nebraska anymore.
Looks very nice man. Love that gas cap
Thanks! I agree, it cleaned it up so nicely.
You and your opinions suck. If I say any more I would get into trouble. Stop crying.
Thank you for the nice video!
Miss your bike videos
Good vid, like your attitude thanks!
Thanks! Hope it helped!
As a local I’m right there with you, most locals love the bikers and or the enthusiasts,there’s a Pakistani who has like 20 plus tshirt tents, and as for gouging your right there’s nothing wrong with making money but overly high prices locals hate it, and if the glencoe camp ground is as close to the old rally as you can get, and as a local if you actually want to ask a question most of us will be more than willing to answer you, and as a local I pretty much ride my at home after being run into by beginners I think after getting hit three times in one day I will just ride before and after, and there is the brewery now up and running off the junction exit that has a large variety of craft beers,
I’ll have to check that out. The knuckle has a decent one now too but the name of it eludes me at the moment.
I disconnected mine now my front speakers are not working how can I fix?
I had absolutely no idea this existed
You should have changed your fuel filter you were right there.
It’s not due for another 10k or so. I’ve already changed it once.
@@LifeontheBlacktop Copy that. Maybe I change mine to often. I do mine with every riding season, along with the oils and oil filter.
Probably a little much for the fuel filter. It’s an automotive style filter so it’ll go 100k before it needs changed. I do everything to service manual and mine calls for every 25 or 35k, I don’t remember off hand, but the following year they changed it to 100k and it’s the exact same part number.
@@LifeontheBlacktop I know it's off topic Do you notice any milage increase's after you do change your fuel filter? Mine was black as coal and couldn't believe any fuel could get through it.
@@Wally2Feathers I have paid attention and not noticed a change at all. In theory, the more plugged it gets the better fuel mileage you should get since it would be leaning out the mixture a bit, but I think there's enough pressure where you wouldn't see that until a lot of miles or after a bad tank of gas.
Great to see you back on a bike. Looks like a nice day.
Did you end up disconnecting the old console cable there at the battery? If so, Did anything else quit working ? Got my console coming in the mail soon
I did. Everything works fine, other than the CB of course lol
great video, the side by side comparison and the passenger thoughts sold me! thanks to both of you!
Glad it helped!
I checked the tranny fluid on a 08 Streetglide i bought. After putting maybe 2k miles on i checked it and i could barely see it it was so clear. It registered but it was like it was brand new. Guy said he changed it before i bought it, but it literally looks brand new. I was expecting some color. Im guessing he maybe used syn 3.
Hard to say. Syn3 is just motor oil so it has the typical amber color but it is slightly more clear. That’s another reason I like the redline, I know it’s there lol
thinking about getting these for my 23 Street Glide - where can we get the accessory switch? the one for Harley is 150 dollars and is hooked up to a harness seems like. How bright are these? On a scale of 1 to 10 - how much more visibility was there?
Links are in the description 👍🏼 as far as brightness, it seemed quite a bit better but I can’t really answer that since this isn’t my ride. I’ve heard a lot of good things though.
found it - still would like to know how bright they are - anyone have these and can comment? Much appreciated
