I decided to finally pick up the Harley-Davidson Pan America and add it to Motorcycle arsenal. My first ride is a local spot in south orange county, California near Cleveland National Forest. During the ride I go into my plans for accessories and modifications that I'll be making. I talk Pan America success and how adventure riding adds a new dynamic to most Harley-Davidson riders out there.

Kudos to you Matt, unlike other salesmen who say they ride the same motorcycle you're buying but they're bike is home, you really did it👍🏼You've proved the internet wrong that Harley dealership will not sell the pan am and steer customers towards classic models by putting down your own money. Pan am being a good bike or not, your dedication to work will take you places.

Thank you so much Matt, your review was terrific. Honest and just so real compared to other reviews. That kind of riding is exactly what I do here in Australia. The PA looks like it will comfortably handle both the highways and the tracks that I enjoy. I will be hoping to take one for a test ride tomorrow, so your video allows me a little insight as to what I can expect. Thanks brother, stay safe.

Terrific review as always Matt. Just got my PA a couple weeks ago and just completed an Iron Butt over the weekend. Very impressed at the bike’s versatility, relative comfort and performance. A nice compliment to my LiveWire - both bikes I purchased based in part on your reviews. Would have seriously considered buying one at your dealer in CA and riding back to MI, but the sales tax implications for buying in your state were onerous (I talked to your sales team). Keep the great reviews coming…

When I lived in San Clemente, road up their many times. Used to go up the Ortega to access it or I came out that way. Make sure you eat at either Bravo Burgers or Bad to the Bone. Brings back fond memories. I was life flighted from the peak. I launched off the cliff a 1/4 mile from the top. Did the same rode on a new bike on my one year anniversary of almost killing myself. Those tires are fine for that road, just air down.

@bradwilliams4921 3 года назад

Great video Matt. Looks like a fun ride with great views. The Pan Am looks like a fun bike if you have somewhere you can ride it. The gear is impressive both in it’s functionality and style but don’t see how you can handle all that gear during summer temperatures. Here in South Carolina 75 degrees is about as warm as I can go. I hope Harley-Davidson sends you some bags. 😁

@albertharper9048 2 года назад

Great video, I feel you about backordered parts. I was involved in an accident Feb. 28 and my Road Glide Special sat at my dealership until July waiting on parts. I started to think maybe I just trade my RG for a Pan America because the waiting was brutal. I have it back but tomorrow I go in for the headlight that finally came in yesterday. I also had a rear tire on order and one is available. I have 500 miles left on the one I have but I want to ride and not sit waiting on another backorder. Great vide, stay safe

Its bedford motorway, and theres some controversy right now, about a week ago some guy tried chaining it off and standing in the road with a gun, saying its his private driveway, despite it being a well known trail the public has used for 60+ years. US Forest Service has temporarily closed it while people are looking for a legal solution. Socal jeeps facebook group has more info

@MadOgre 3 года назад

I have the same gear and went to the Rawhide Adventures ZAKAR site for training as well... At first, I wasn't a fan of those boots. But having spent a couple days solid wearing those boots there... and wearing them more and more after I got back home... I became a huge fan. They are super comfortable compared to my other off-road boots. Now I'm a huge fan. Love them. Also a huge fan of the rest of gear, especially the helmet.

@charlescheeseman3430 3 года назад

Matt, you may want to consider soft or semi-rigid panniers for off-road riding. Hard panniers are usually toast after a fall and can cause an injury if you put your foot down while riding with kickback into the pannier. Congrats on the new adventure bike. Thanks for another honest review.

@hexhead5732 3 года назад

Nice riding gear Matt I do like those boots the dirt bike riding was cool hope to see more 👍

@env7174hs 3 года назад

Awesome, you took your Pan-Am out/off-roading right away. I’m still a little nervous about hitting the off-road trails on mine. I’m also waiting for those panniers and top case to come in; darn that supply chain. I’ll be looking forward to your future Pan-Am video uploads.

@embee1706 3 года назад

Please don't go off-roading with hard panniers though, you won't be the first one to injure themselves that way. For off-roading, soft panniers are definitely the safer option. They both have their pros and cons obviously, so depending on your type of riding you might want to pick one over the other. For off-roading though, I'd say pick the safest one.

@chrisscharfenberger6007 3 года назад

I love the 'Military Green' ~ totally badass. Stock seats are always in need of improvement~ it's the one thing that all motorcycle manufacturers, even HD, will never really get right~ always a stylistic afterthought that has nothing to do with comfort. It will be interesting to see what Corbin and other come up with for this bike.
