    I know a lot more now than I did 3 minutes ago. That doesn't happen very often. Great video format. Quick, concise, educational.

    Really like that 4.5 second Rider, that up and disappeared into the bushes just that fast. Kinda reminded me of that Evil Knievel Trick Jump guy ya know, the one where, Now you see him, Now you don't...! Better known in today time as, Do as I say, not as I do.
    Rides safely today. And You'll Ride another day Tomorrow.

    Hey man,
    Thanks a lot for this quick video that explained everything I really wanted to know about early Harley engines,
    I’ve been selling newer Harley’s for over 20 years and I know so much about all the details between engines .
    But every now and then while talking to my customers, I feel so embarrassed when they bring up the older Harley models or when I see one on the street , I can’t differentiate between them.
    I’ve leaned a lot in this couple a minutes video.
    Thanks again,
    Sam.

    I always wondered about the shovel head...Now, I see it! thanks

    • @ExplosiveBottle
      @ExplosiveBottle Před 4 lety

      I actually think of a shovelhead differently than how he explained it. If you look at the rocker boxes from the side (how you'd normally see them on the bike) they look kinda like the handholds of a snow shovel or something

    Are you guys going to be at Sturgis and if so will you be bringing any of the neon Fly F-16 jerseys...????

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  Před 6 lety

      Since we're an online retailer that carries hundreds of brands and thousands of products, it just isn't feasible for us to go to rallies and have a booth. Many of the brands we carry already go to rallies themselves anyway, so Fly might already be there. So we won't be at Sturgis unfortunately. -DrewZilla

    Hey RevZilla, I'm about to get my first bike and I have a large head. Could you make a video on helmets that are good for big guys! Apreeciate it, great show!!

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  Před 6 lety

      Large can be a bit subjective unless you know your head circumference at the crown of the head. We recommend taking your measurement, looking at the size charts linked on helmet product pages, and determining size from there. Most helmets are available up to size 2XL, which is generally 63-64cm. If you need anything larger, you can select the _Apparel Size_ from the filter menu on our site. -DrewZilla

    Heya!! I have this question!! I was planning to buy AGV-K3 helmet but what’s the difference between! (MS) and (SM) both are same?!? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE ANSWERED ❤️

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  Před 6 lety

      No, they are not the same. SM is small, and MS is medium-small (the other medium being ML, medium-large). Size small (SM) fits a 55-56cm head circumference, while size medium-small (MS) fits a 57cm head circumference. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla

      I cannot agree more with this.

    • @hawtpawkithero
      @hawtpawkithero Před 6 lety +3

      Agreed. The editing is cringy and I felt like I was watching a buzzfeed video.

    • @deanmoriarty3565
      @deanmoriarty3565 Před 6 lety +1

      Agreed as well. The cutscenes are fine, but the iron man head etc. was way over the top - in general it's a basic filmmaking rule (as well as very obvious common sense) to try to never obscure the face of the speaker if it's in the shot. Same for the voice distortion, you guys already talk very fast to make the videos shorter, you just don't have the cognitive budget to make it anything less than crystal clear sounding.
      That said, Revzilla has a kickass video team so they're probably experimenting with making their videos a little more interesting. It'll probably drastically improve in their next few attempts. Good luck.
