I decided to boot out to Kelowna to check out a car show, not much left by the time I got there though.
Thought I could make it back before this big rain storm blew in but I ended up getting caught in the middle of it instead!
Thank goodness for a nearby pub serving hot soup and tea... all and all, the chilly ride just makes the tea taste that much better.

Thanks forr taking us with you on this ride - sometimes we do get wet but we all - bikes and babes like yourself - look all the better for it.... regards from England !

You & the shovelead make a beautiful combination. If you don't get caught in the rain occasionally you're not riding enough!

@lloydsparling4439 Год назад

So familiar for me; I get rained on with only a cloud in the sky; gotta be tough to ride with no front fender; go for it red ; love your real videos👍👍👍

1.74k subs and commercials, congrats, I think you made it! Of course we have to suffer the commercials but if it helps keep you on then it is worth it. Another good drawing, much enjoyed, thank your Dad. Back when I was a bit younger than you I got a speeding ticket. I didn't think I deserved it so I went to court. It snowed all night and morning, my bike was my transportation so I rode to court. Walked in and stood at the back shaking off the snow. When it was my turn the judge asked if I had ridden there, yes, he told me to go home, I had paid enough and he cancelled the ticket.

@RedRiderCanadaBC 2 года назад

Haha cool judge! And thank you for the comment! Yes I know, I feel bad you all have to endure the commercials too… but thanks for sticking around either way!

@thakery5720 2 года назад

When I was young and only had a bike , I happened upom the idea of wearing waterproof trousers over my jeans - and then another pair of jeans on top so my friends wouldn't think me a pussy. I stayed warm and dry when it rained. This was mostly done through winter which here in England wasn't so cold as some places, but it was still cold. Keeping your hands warm wasn't so easy though as the gloves back in the 1970's weren't as good as today and stopping now and then to warm your hands on the engine was accepted practice !

@savage22bolt32 2 года назад

@@thakery5720 my dad always told me to layer my clothes in cold weather. You have a great idea there! The engine is my hand warmer as well.

Hi, what a beautiful country you live in. In the final clip where you lovingly touched your bike was a mark of true love.

Your bike seems to ride so smooth, love it. And your springer does a good job of smoothing the bumps.

@mikeskidmore6754 3 месяца назад

Smooth? I sent @RedRyderCanadaBC and add for a Gell padded underpants after I saw the seat on her Chopper. My Yamaha FZ-07 has a hard little seat that bothers after 3 hours riding. I strap on an AirHawk Air Cushing for longer trips .

@bobberyank384 2 года назад

I don't mind riding in the rain. I live in London, UK and Houston, Texas. I ride a Triumph Bobber in both cities. Today's ride here in Houston was 40C and no rain. Was worth it. As are most rides. Love your channel, keep up the good work!! Cheers

We all made it to Jasper I one piece , We had worse before. Just another day on my Harley,love every minute of it. Just like the song.

Another nice ride, that bike certainly runs and rides nice. Wet weather is something we see a lot of in the UK. You keep starring in the videos and I will keep watching. Nice to see someone who can look after their bike 🤩

@hokaheyrider059 2 года назад

As someone else mentioned, a bandana tied between your rigid forks will help to keep some of the spray from the tire off your face. I’ve got many stories about riding in all types of weather but not going to bore you with them. On another note, I’m an old guy that has been riding for more years than I care to admit. I have never owned a Shovel but worked on plenty of my them when I was wrenching in shops back in the late 1980’s and early 90’s. Watching you and your Shovel, I’ve got a bug up my ass to finally get one. I think I’m gonna sell my Evo Springer and buy a Shovel. I’ve got my eye on one that checks all my boxes and except for having a Glide front fork, is pretty much set up the way I’d do it. Open belt primary, foot clutch with a Jokey Shifter and a Kicker. Keep riding, keep learning and keep posting up the videos. You give this ole bastard something to look forward to besides taking a good dump every day.

@RedRiderCanadaBC 2 года назад

I’m goikg to try that bandana thing! I had one tied around my head on my ride, I could have done that if I would have though of it at the time. Everyone’s got there tricks and tips and I love hearing them all! Man, if you can keep your evo and get a Shovelhead as a secondary bike that would be sweet! I’m actually looking at getting an evo so I have a road trip/ shitty weather bike. I used to ride all year round when I was riding something in didn’t care too much about getting wet. My shovel just isn’t meant for the rain, too much in there that shouldn’t get wet. Thanks for commenting! I’m glad people can enjoy my videos and find some inspiration in them 🙂

@BillTheHarleyGuy 2 года назад

Our group got caught going into the Rocky Mountains. Got soaked before we could get our rain gear on. Stopped to eat & dry off then put rain gear on. Started off in light rain then got cold and super foggy. Couldn't see, weren't familiar with the roads & real cold. Was thinking just ride off a cliff going to die anyway😅. Was really glad to clear that mountain & get down to warmer & dryer country. Scariest ride I ever had! Love your channel just subscribed.

@bruce1816 2 года назад

Good ride Red !! Seems like she's starting better ? One time heading home from Sturgis heading east, i rode in the rain all day. Pulled in just east of St. Louis to a motel wanting to get all my stuff dry. A dude and his kids came from next door and invited me over for hot dogs on the grill. After the kids went to bed we got a bottle of Jack out. Can't remember how i got back to my room, woke up sprawled out on the bed with my clothes still on, my gear still wet and rode in the rain most of that day !!! I lived on the east coast. Those days you never forget but the memories are always fun !!!!

@1down4upworkshop61 2 года назад

I have a '75 XLCH Ironhead, set up similar to your Shovel and I run without a front fender too ... It's like driving in front of a firehose pointed at your face when riding in the rain LOL .. You might try tying a bandana around the forks when it rains. It kind of acts like a mini fender. Doesn't work 100%, but every little helps :)

@jackmarks2176 2 года назад

Great looking scooter. I don't have a rain sock for my bagger either, keep forgetting to order one. Thing about getting the bike wet is it puts like a coating of oil or soot on the bike, really hard to get off. I'm really surprised you can ride without a fender in Canada, they seem to have an awful amount of rules, laws, and regulations up there.

@97delkron 2 года назад

oh brother have i been in some rain storms. worst one riding from indy to chicago. tornado warnings.. sideways wind/rain. sitting under underpass as it starts to flood. made lil further and had to stop again. waited it out in state police headquarters with dispatch lady watching radar. damn near home started storming so bad had to stop and stand under awning as lightning struck across the street hitting tree and split it in half and started it on fire! rest of way home looked like a war zone with all debris and everyone without power. should have made it home by 5 pm. pulled in at 3am! keep on riding. you will make some memories for sure. some good..... some not so good. but you will remember them forever!

@frankzimmerman2194 Год назад

@armchairdisaster905 2 года назад

Rain happens, in time you learn to trade cool for a front fender. Hopefully the tabs are still on that Springer. You handled it though,so good job ,and your face is still pretty. Some nice cars at the show . Now you get to clean your bike..you should make a video of you giving the bike a bath !
