Advice from one new rider to another. I started riding when I turned 50. A true mid-life crisis. Except it wasn't a mid-life crisis. I could finally afford a motorcycle AND devote the time to learning how to ride. On this channel I share my journey as I apply 40 years wrenching on my own cars to wrenching on motorcycles while I learn to ride.
My car(s) 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe I have owned this car for almost 20 years. It is mostly stock (other than a few safety items like power disc brakes). I have also replaced the stock exhaust with dual exhaust (I kind of regret that one). I have also changed the interior to a "Pony Inspired" interior.
2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Again, bone stock minus a few cosmetic upgrades.
I disagree. After looking at all 3, it's better than some of the others. Besides, Harley (who is responsible for the warranty) thinks it's good enough. So that's a good endorsement to me
I don't have a motorcycle however I use Amsoil Premium Protection 10W-40, I have used Valvoline Advance Synthetic, Cstrol Edge. The Amsoil seems to be better, takes longer to breakdown and my engine runs smoother, best oil i have used so far, I change my oil every 2500 kilometers.
Hell yeah!! I just did it again this morning and got 50 seconds. Video tomorrow morning ♥️👍🏼 shared this video on the Community section of my channel too 😊
Thanks for sharing. It didn't look too bad to me. Not as many hairpin turns compared to the road up Pikes Peak in Colorado, but what makes that road even more challenging is the altitude -- almost twice tat of Mt. Washington. Even so, not too scary of a road as long as you have the right type of bike and skill/attitude.
Work on fine-tuning your rear brake application and maintaining your throttle consistency. I noticed the bike jerking from your brake application and a couple of times your RPMs fluctuated. The key is consistent throttle and smooth brake application with only the needed amount. Once you find that sweet spot and feel comfortable with those applications, you'll find you can ride longer in the keyhole. In fact, you'll find it TONS of fun. I know when I was riding motors at work and figured it out, It was one of my top 5 favorite exercises, lots of fun to do.
Thanks CUE, that was fun to watch. I just did a class with Robert in Colorado, the entire time watching you i could hear Robert screaming "easy in the rear brake Cue, easy". I love praticing. great job.
@@richc767 honestly, I'm not very good at slow riding. The objective is to be smooth and minimize the bike movement. I was struggling mightily to control the speed of the bike.
Great video , thanks . Is the diesel oil your using in the primary 15w40 ? Ive used delo 400 , gulf western top dog 15w40 , both mineral with success on my Japanese bikes , and its cheap , we cant get rotella here in Oz , Take care .
Hi, German here. Riding in the Alps quite often I assure yor that there is nothing scary about Mt. Washington at all. If you find that scary, better quit biking. Y'all ride safe
@@eberhardh thanks German. Everyone doesn't have your vast skill and experience. Some of us are mere mortals and have to start somewhere. To a mere mortal, riding on a narrow, high altitude road with no guard rails is scary....but I had a great time and look forward to riding other roads like that....maybe find some that are scarier (to mortals)
@@RidingandWrenching thx. I am a mere mortal as well. However, this road is neither narrow nor on high altitude. Have a look at a vid of riding on Passo di Stelvio in Italy. With all due respect: Then you make up your mind what to call scary and whether Mt. Washington is the right road to try to intimidate others. Nonetheless glad to hear that you liked the ride.
Good info. Thanks. It’s been 2 yrs since you did this video, have you figured out any tips or tricks that you did not cover? Also, heard you can get HD to flash your system for the whim, without a whim installed, and it works, you know anything about that? Thank you 🇺🇸✌️
Nothing new. The dongle worked well on my bike. I heard the same thing about flashing the radio, but never bothered to try it. On my 18 Road Glide (with the older system) I replaced it with a Sound Stream radio. I love it!
Thank you! I'm 5 years into my journey. Some are really surprised that I have learned so much in a short period of time. Taking classes, learning the right way, and working hard pays off!
been useing the harley syn 3 in my 2015 cvo road glide and changing at the proper times my bottom end blew up at 30000 km s its an 8000.00 dollar repair bill in CANADA I USE THE MOBILE ONE IN MY HEMI TRUCK 300000 MILES AND STILL RUNNING STRONGTHE MOBILE ONE WILL BE THE NEW OIL IN MY HARLEY
