i woke up . second night at home. body still feels like I'm in motion. It's gonna take me a few days to mentally get back to the pace and life style at home.
Glad you all made it back safe and sound. I look forward to the trip video! I was planning a long trip like that with some friends a while back, but life got in the way and it never happened. I still have picture of the map and routes we were going to take, so hopefully I can make it happen.
Profound statement right there. Amen. A motorcycle journey is, learning about oneself. And if riding with fellow mates/brothers, each other. Amen to the safe return. Great job ya’ll. -DFW Texas.
Glad you guys made it home safe, first and foremost 💯🤘🏻!! All the videos and shorts you posted were AWESOME!! The scenery along your journey was absolutely breathtaking!! I watched every one 💯🤘🏻!! I even told my friends who ride to watch your channel to see the trip you guys were taking. Don't worry about not being able to post stuff, while you were on the road. We all know that you'll post awesome stuff in a few days 💯🤘🏻. Other than the journey to the West Coast, and having to cut it short..just meeting Wille G Davidson must have been AWESOME!! Really looking forward to seeing the edited footage and can't wait to see the transformation of Black Jack 🇺🇸💯🤘🏻!! Keep up the great work John and always ride safe 🇺🇸✌🏻💯!!
Hi Mr. John! Our hearts are happy that you all arrived safely home!! Congratulations to your son for beginning a new journey to college!! We send our heart filled hopes and prayers that your son is blessed abundantly with everything wonderful and successful for college! My wife, Shauna and myself were hoping to connect up with you, Mr. Sandy and Mr. Danny while traveling. We were planning to gift a couple of bottles of our wine that we produce (small family business) from Napa, California. Maybe next trip?? Thank you for presenting wonderful videos of your adventures and thank you in advance for future videos!!
Glad you guys stopped off at FARROW HARLEY-DAVIDSON EAST, ( The Oldest Harley Dealership in America ), so that your ride could get the 3 hole drop. It was my pleasure. Nice meeting you, John. Stoked your finally home and rested. Good luck to your son's next step in his journey. Come back anytime! 🤘😎 Trevor @ Farrow!
Great to see all three of you made it home safe and sound. That’s the most important thing also is getting your son to college is extremely important. Looking forward to the videos you made
saw snippets of your trip up until the time you left Sturgis, I am glad you were able to get most of the trip that you wanted to make.... But family does come first!!!
Hey John, get rid of that OEM rear axle when you do your wheel swap. Either run the PM or the Kraus. I have installed both, but I am definitely more partial to the PM. The OEM rear axle is completely inferior with those cams. Also throw in some alloy art swing arm bushings and Cush drive. But most importantly buy a Missing Link from rak and pull industries so you can get your swing arm/rear wheel squared up and aligned properly. Every single one that we see comes right out of the Harley Davidson factory misaligned. The Missing link, solves this problem. And it’s night and day difference once installed properly. These are a couple minor things I did to my street glide that made a world of improvement in handling of the bike. 😊
Welcome home brother! Glad you guys are safe. Must've a direct blast home. Can't wait to see the videos. Looking forward to the transformation. Its awesome now, I can only imagine the finished project. I'm rootin fer ya!
Patiently awaiting your edited videos of your trip…congrats on your son’s move to college…been there done that before too a few times… big day ahead and emotional day as well 👍🏼
Hey John, happy that you are back safe and sound. What a journey. I bought the coil chrome cover for softail and it does fit the 2024 road glides. Just so you know. Cheers from HOT AZ.
Glad you all made it home safe. What an amazing journey you had! We can’t wait to see the videos. It was awesome seeing you again in Milwaukee. Happy editing! 🤘🏼
Big John - glad you and the boys are safe and back home from that epic journey. Figured that between the distance and spotty cellphone coverage you’d be hard-pressed to try and edit and upload any content. Sounds like all went well and the bikes performed wonderfully. Just returned myself from a run to Sturgis and laid down about 2800 miles on my old ‘03 FLHTCI Anniversary edition. Ran like a champion up and back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Looking forward to the new content when you get to it after family obligations. As always, stay safe brother 🤜🏼🇺🇸
Awesome trip John I’m going from Boston to tail of the dragon this coming weekend for a week as soon as I get back I’m bringing my daughter back to college its what dads do for their kids keep up the great work brother
Big John, what route di you take back thru Pennsylvania? Obviously you made it safe with no incident but, curious what route you took. Glad you all had great but abbreviated trip.
Epic journey man! Keep at it so we can enjoy the content 🙏🏻 Couple of questions: 1. why are you getting rid of the Wilbers? Didn’t like them? 2. I am assuming all these miles put some strain on your body. How did the backrest help with back or shoulder pain? Thanks!
What an amazing trip that must have been! How did you like the Road Sofa? That's the seat I'm looking at right now for my new 2024 road Glide. I'm also looking at different light wheel wheel options. If it's not too much trouble, could you weigh your stock wheels when they come off and also weigh the new wheels? Right now I'm looking at the Harley forged wheels but nobody seems to know how much they weigh or how much the stock wheels weigh. Another option I'm looking at are BST wheels. I know how much those weigh and know how much the 2016 Road Glide stock cast aluminum wheels weigh (17.5 lbs and 17.5 lbs according to a video by Moonshine Harley). Thanks!
That looks like an amazing trip! I’m curious if you guys will be doing a program on what’s going on over at the motor company with off shoring manufacturing of the sportster nightester and Pan America in Thailand and the companies insisting on being Woke through new DEI, mandatory policies ! lots of other things that are not the values of 98% of Harley riders. Would love to see you both tackle this issue and get the word up to Milwaukee as millions of riders are pretty ticked off
Is all cool. I', envious. I'm interested in knowing how to find accommodations if I did a trip like you did. It seems to me that just travelling blind w/o pre-planned motel/hotel stays would be very very frustrating. I'm not sure of that though. I'm willing and able to do the miles but when I am tired, I get damned cranky and not wanting to deal with "No Vacancy". What do you do to zero-in on a place to rest your head?
It's usually not that hard to get a room, most of the time. Unless there's some sort of event in the area it's relatively easy. When I'm "Nomading", I'll ride til about noon, then I pull out a book I never leave home without. It's called "The Next Exit" find it at any major bookstore. This book has almost every major highway in the country. They're listed by State. Find the state you're in, the highway you're on and every exit has a list of Hotels, motels, campgrounds, restaurants, gas stations and attractions. Pick the hotel you want, Google it, then you can call to check availability and reserve. I usually decide the exit by how many miles I plan on doing or say I'll ride til 5pm, estimate the arrival time and pick my exit. It has never failed me. This book and a full atlas go with me on every road trip. It's about a $50 investment. Try it, I think you'll like it. Also I update both every 4 or 5 years. I hope this helps ease your concerns. Ride hard, die free!
Curious as to why you are changing out the Wilbur’s suspension. I have it on mine and it was a fantastic ride for my cross-country trip and really don’t see a need to replace it. Is there a real need to or are you just going to try something else for fun?
