In preparation for the release of the Harley-Davidson Pan America, Matt Laidlaw decided to take an adventure touring motorcycle class with his dad. He goes to an Introduction course at RawHyde Adventure in Southern California just north of Castaic Lake. Matt shows some of the training that goes on and gives his thoughts on the course.

I've either had or ridden pretty much every type of bike there is, I have a Harley now after a few back operations because I had to ease off on my body a bit, but riding trails especially new ones has always been my favourite..Getting out in nature and exploring will bring you some of the best memories of your life..I hope to be back out there soon..Matt I bet you're hooked already and it's something you'll be able to do with your whole family..And the skills you learn off road will transfer to being a better rider on road..Good for you👍

@alfredpull 3 года назад

Now that’s what I call open minded. Being a Harley rider myself, this is definitely the next big thing for me and enjoy the best of both worlds. Would be cool to see something in reverse by adventure riders handling the iron beasts 😇 After all we are all bikers no matter what we ride 😄

@invinciblevettel5 3 года назад

Matt, as a marketing idea, you could take a few Pan Americas' to that course when they come out. Let people know about the event so plenty of people turn up!

@MattLaidlaw 3 года назад

Good idea. I’d really like to do one of their expeditions on the Pan America or their advanced class

@invinciblevettel5 3 года назад

@@MattLaidlaw I agree. The basics course is a good course, but I think to showcase the capabilities of the Pan America, an advanced course would be a lot better. Experienced riders would be more interested in seeing the Pan America being put through its paces.

@tobypaone3426 3 года назад

Excellent video! I appreciate you giving proper credit to BMW, Yamaha and Husky too. I'm a Harley guy through and through but these other manufacturers are also doing something right and their bikes are well suited for off-road riding. I too am looking forward to the Pan America and will be enjoying adventure riding soon (after taking a similar course). Always appreciate your videos, Matt!

It's a lot easier to learn on a smaller light dirt bike for sure.. Try riding one of those 1200's in wet clay or wet black muck or Prarie soil .. That sand is easy .. I have never ridden in rocks but they look treacherous too ..

@luisoutumuro424 3 года назад

Wednesday I was in Sequoia National Park, at one of the vista points I was talking to an adventure bike rider. He was out for a day ride through Kings & Sequoia NPs, but that he adventure rides professionally... turns out he's one of the instructors at BMW ORA at RawHyde! Of course the Pan America came up in the conversation. He said the Pan America will be available for training at RawHyde. He said RawHyde will be having 20 of the Pan America delivered in a few weeks.

@geneclarke2205 3 года назад

Hopefully a light 975 Pan America is in the works more in line with the BMW F850GS Adventure or KTM 790 Adventure R. As impressive as the 1200+ machines are, they leave many people alienated tossing around a motorcycle that's big and heavy. Even Honda plans a 2021 baby 850 Africa Twin recognizing the sweet spot is in the middle displacement market.

@candlstudios 3 года назад

Now if only Harley would actually release the Panamerica. Ha ha.. we shall see.. this looks like a lot of fun.

@BikerGirlTraveler 3 года назад

Looks good but they are expensive like hell. At 1,500 bucks per person, with not much more cash I could do a course at other two schools. Which is nice because you get the riding philosophy of a couple set of “professional” instructors. I think I prefer it that way.

@Shankintime 2 года назад

I think it will sell if the price is moderate and it needs to sell.Oh and i must comment either the helmet camara was set low or you are not looking far enough just saying thanx.

The Pan America is too heavy for me. Same as the GS1250. Really most are too heavy for any serious off road riding. They will be good for most people though, since most people's idea of off-roading is a dirt road.

@MattLaidlaw 3 года назад

Yea, for technical single track stuff you'll need a dirt bike. The appeal of an adventure bike is it does open up A LOT of terrain and you don't need to haul to bike around on a trailer or truck.

@CraigSmith568 3 года назад

I'm not trying to knock this type of bike, they just aren't for me. I would just get a dual sport.
