Hello, this is John Taylor and Pauleen Taylor. We will be uploading random videos of our street motorcycle rides and off-road adventures in our Jeep and truck. If you subscribe to our channel, you'll get notifications of new content.
I don't think this is/will be a collectors bike if we're being honest. It was a response to the Scout crowd saying "we want all the features from the Sport Chief Darkhorse". That, and a throw back at HD for their Sportster S again. It's a great bike for sure, but the pricepoint stings for a intermediate cruiser. Would rather have the option than not, though.
i agree, most young guys dont have chief/softail money to throw around let alone on a small cruiser, for 3500 dollars cheaper you can get a sport scout and have more than enough money left over to have it pushing more power than the 101. most of extra money your paying is for the suspension and pretty paint but most of the young people this bike is aimed towards dont really care.
I would counter with the Sportster S being Harley trying to compete with the last generation Scout, which was in production since 2015. Harley came out with the Sportster S in 2021. They were way late, and also the Sportster S is so damn ugly, everybody says it's extremely uncomfortable, and they've had a lot of engine failures.
Great looking bike!! I'm really considering that exact same bike... The chrome levers and gas cap need to be black & some Tab Zombies proformance exhaust.
Many times did I put motorcycles in the back of a truck with ramps. BUT why since I can use a low loading trailer with a ramp, which you can see in the video. Plus I can then use the back of my truck to load extra items like chairs, tables, coolers plus my motorcycle is in a covered more secure enviroment.
@@johntaylor1341 I rented a trailer last August but realized you shouldn’t go crazy with those ratchet straps. Also, more redundant straps are wise decision in case one comes loose. I used quality pinch type straps for that purpose. Quick and easy
@@kannermw agreed. Never over due it with those ratchet straps as I mentaiton that like 3 times, lol. Also having additional straps on your rear area that pull forward also help reassure your secure motorcycle in case one of the straps come loose.
Thanks much. on all the pics on various sellers no one shows how does it look inside. Question if you can help answering - Does NUCLEON FLEX PROI fits in this jacket ? This protector comes a little longer than the standard one. I could not find any content which say that GPforce airflow will or will not fit the NUCLEON FLEX PROI . Any help will be appreciated.
Quick suggestion, make sure you have and I've clearance on your ratchets especially with that exhaust sitting so close to it. The bike tends to move a couple of inches here and there while you're driving and you might end up scratching it. Rags are a lifesaver sometimes in those cases
Great video. A tip I recently picked up from a buddy is to have the straps in the rear also pulling the bike forward into the chock. That way, if a strap does fail, all the other straps are going in the same direction.
Thanks for the video, this is incredibly informative! Does Uhaul supply the ramp or did you own one previously? Moving soon and my plan was to do what you're showing but I cant seem to find information on getting a ramp. Thanks!!!
Great video with instruction. Thank you for that. QUESTION?-Do you think the d-rings are strong enough to support transport of a Harley Roadglide? I have a wheel chock so just questioning the strength of the D-Rings for 700lbs bike.
There so many out there that do a good job. I personally use the Cycle Gear Trackside front wheel choc as it is sturdy, wide 4 corner support and decent price too.
That wheel chock is an excellent idea. I don’t know if I’d trust U-Haul’s D-rings on a heavy bike like a touring bike...~900 lbs or so. Those D-rings are not very heavy duty.
thank you for this video man, im planning a move soon and getting the same trailer, didnt think they had tie down anchor points for bikes, this confirms lol.
