Awkward returning the broken down Harley Davidson to its owner early 

You've got to look at it for what it is. The problems started when the bike was dropped. Could be blamed on a shitty kick stand, but it was an accident non the less. It's unfortunate about the mudguard mount snapping, but at the end of the day the bike was built to ride to the pub on not to tour the country.

I'd never own a bike that didn't come with all of the above...lol

should have found the shortest route to the dump !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeh what a fun trip...not

Danny's next series: Riding an AMF Shovelhead to the North Pole!

@@browngreen933 While carrying a 55 Gal. drum of oil on the back and clutch parts in his bag ! !

@@gofigure_1 Thanks for that . Do what you wanna do Now ! because as I learnt life can change over night , I was fit and healthy and thought I had all the time in the world to do things then BANG. How good is Danny's trip to the UK ? His drone footage and editing is top shelf.

Good luck brother ride on

Best of luck to you SASS! Ride on...

You ain't done yet dude, keep riding and stay safe. There are many who think they have 30 years left and won't see dinner time tonight. Best to you, brother.

All the best mate. Trust the trip goes well… we have just returned from a 6,000 klm trip which we do every 18 months and we are in our late 60’s… Sing out if you are heading through south Australia, some of the guys would be open to catch up and ride some k’s with you…

Papa! Depression is very different depending upon the individual. Been dealing with it for a while. Fortunately, it is not the clinical kind, I feel, in my case. In my job in the fire service, I dealt with the real deal, and I understand. In my case, it has been a long road, I feel I was giving up. I allowed others to take advantage, and my life was slowly falling apart. I was not sad, exactly, it was a kind of acquiescence, but at my peril. Life changes when a relationship falls apart, and you have children. I gave up a career and pension in the fire service with the mission of raising three little girls. They are all grown up now. It's a long story, and it has happy times, especially at present. I am dropping everything and starting over again, this stupid virus disaster delayed everything by three years. Another long story, I survived it. Before there was such silliness that we all know only too well. I am trained as a medic, so I know what I have experienced. Papa, prayer can NOT be underestimated, I have dealt many times with life, death, and disaster. No amount of money can solve this issue, I agree. In my twenties I had it all, money really was not a concern. I gave it all up and joined the fire service. Then I gave it all up again. Bugger. Yeah, it was worth it. I'm still here, man. Glad you are too.

@@robertborchert932 God Bless you! Have you thought about writing a book. I know I have but just never did it. I am not very good with putting everything into words, but I bet you could, and it would probably help you deal with it.

Still ride a Hardtail Shovel and a 79 FXS at 51 have done some serious roadtrips on both. any bike taking a beating is prone to issues no matter how solid it was built i have broke lot's of shit. Love these vids but he should just stick to new shit. And those Relays- i got one on my 79 and after having issues i found putting it in a balloon and tying it off solved that issue. Glad your still at it at 57- my buddy (a tree guy) had both his done and he is Happy with the result.

problem is, it was also the ONLY rear seat mount

I also love riding my ridgid panhead at 68. I guess I’m lucky I can still enjoy that.

Spot on comment. It would have just been another boring trip on an adventure bike.

Or a boat anchor

It would cost more than the bike is worth to ship it to Australia....

@@waynekerr8003 Lol !

True, that weight plus the constant vibration of crap rough roads that seem to be everywhere these days.

It broke because it was a shitty job to begin with. It should be able to carry a passenger and I seen some big Mommas back there 😆

All the bouncing on the seat trying to bump start it wouldn't have helped the broken mudguard mount either.

agreed - how good did the filming look bewteen the bars?

@@MillionDollarBogan The cockpit view (as I call it) was great -- and that's coming from a guy who hates choppers.

Awesome jealous it wasn’t me making that trip. Thanks for taking us along

Also the drone moments were awesome as well.

@@MillionDollarBogan it's up for sale now £7.500 mate .

For sure, as someone else commented. It was built to ride to the pub not 1000’s of KM’s around tough roads and conditions haha the bike was sick. Just got dropped and the kick stand sensor fucked. I’d buy that bike in a heartbeat, tough as nails, all things considered

Also, the fender wasn’t designed to carry that load, again, all things considered, bike was solid

Time heals all wounds my friend

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. It certainly would have made the bag balancing act much more difficult for that last stretch. Good observation ✌️

It’s a evo sportster with a AMF tank on it.
