The Secret No One Talks About At Harley Davidson Motorcycle Shows  

I have been riding for just over 50 years. I started out on Triumphs (69 Trident, 73 650 Bonneville, 850 Commando, 73 750 Bonneville, 75 T160 Trident, 73 750 Tiger) until I bought a 97 883 Sportster in 2007. I don’t care if some people think it’s a girl’s bike, it has taken me all over eastern Australia, including several trips from Melbourne to the Gold Coast and never let me down. Last year it turned 25, so I gave it a ground up rebuild; wheel bearings, re-laced wheels, headstock bearings, front and rear suspension upgrades, complete engine rebuild, including a Hammer Performance 1275 conversion, upgraded clutch, oil pump, and a rewire, removing extraneous wires and relocation of ignition switch and coil (to beneath the battery box and on the left hand side between the heads respectively) had the tank and guards resprayed and added an LED headlight. I get many compliments when I’m out and about. I did all the work except for the paint job myself and that makes it all the sweeter when I’m on the road. I don’t ride to please others, just myself, so I’m happy. Like this channel. Keep it up mate.

From a Canadian , I agree with your words. But not all see what we see when their eyes are wide shut , perception = control = outcome .

Glad to see that the motorcycle culture down-under is so similar to what I’ve experienced here in the States; great people sharing a common interest and having fun. Add to that all the “charity” events that the biker community supports worldwide and you have a recipe for world peace. Government needs crisis to maintain control. Be safe, ride on!

Love the fact that you acknowledge current issues both local and global and initiate conversation around those issues well done mate! Sport glides are my choice of freedom cheers mate 👍😎

I recently found your channel, the title grabbed my attention. I am older than you and not dead either, at 72 this year and riding 50 years. I have had many bikes mostly Harleys, and just a few months ago purchased another new lowrider ST. I still have my 94 FXR 107". I truly enjoy your video content and have subscribed and liked every video. I try not to miss a one. thank you for sharing. JT from Florida USA

Here in the United States. The Harley Davidson Family is exactly the way it is in Australia... And Yes , a Road Glide is a Girl's Bike 😆

We were never meant to be alone as humans. Unfortunately youth and naivety go hand in hand. Most of us as we age gain the wisdom to see we are all the same when it comes down to the basics, and become more open minded, speak less, listen more, and ask questions in a way to learn something new while giving a kind word of compliment. I believe us "older folks" have the stewardship of teaching the youth these things in order for them to make the most of their lives in a positive way. There are lots off bad things happening all the time, all over the world, but without evil there can be no good and we could not appreciate the good without the bad. Still most of us do the same things no matter where we come from, just in a different way. I hope when I retire I can visit the land down under, and do it on a Harley. My first glimpse of Australia was watching the Paul Hogan Show on PBS in the early 1980's, as a very young boy I absolutely loved his character "Super Dag". I'd love to ride the entire country and learn how you Harley guys do your stops, hanging out at the best "Biker Joints" eating the best Australian local foods, drinking, carrying on and learning the culture. I've lived and worked in Las Vegas NV for over 30 years and I can tell you the Australians I've met visiting our city over the years are a very fun and friendly lot. I promise not to act like Super Dag when I visit!

You spoke a lot of truth. I wish I could ride those roads. The scenery is always spectacular.

Cheers buddy loads of positivity keeping me going after having my kidney removed Looking forward to riding again Sending love always

I remember when I was in ABATE of Florida we would coordinate events with other chapters so no one would have their event on the same weekend. This way instead of having to pick which one you could go to them all.

Here in America Harley is mainly a T-shirt shop.

I have found the Harley Community to be basically a group of clique. If you are not a member of one of the clicks you are like you're not there. Smug and self-righteous, judgemental. They want you to conform to their standards. Very vocal about your choice of motorcycle especially if it is not considered to be the right kind of motorcycle. Country Club type who think that their shit does not stink. Nose in the air looking down on everybody else.

I love your life philosophy, keep sharing your insight to the world. I've seen that dude TEX in the our ridding groups in the states too, he lives in all of us, just let him out.

Being a road glide rider myself I don’t think their girl bikes. Lol. Must be an Aussie thing. Keep riding safe!

Correct. Good stuff. Oh, by the way. Road King is the King.

cool ride ! pretty country

Too many people look to "other" someone or a group of people and forget we all come from "others" !

Great video sir,I visited Philip Island October 97, great circuit,great to see a good mix of bikes, regards Mike, softail deluxe,owner

That was a great video. Food for thought, if we are allowed to share our own opinions without there being a flight or something stupid. , we may find that our opinions are not that far apart. But even if they are, we should at a minimum respect it and move on. Ride safe

word brother. division is definitely on purpose. a divided people are easier to controll and concur. the thing about that is you have to have willing participants. everybody , for whatever need wants to be on " the right side" but you said it best : there is only one side. lets all jump the line together. sports bike and girls bikes can all ride together. hell we all played together in the sand box when we were kids .still plenty sand.

All of humanity has the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness as long as your life liberty and pursuit of happiness doesn't interfere with anyone's own life liberty and pursuit of their rights 😊

Straight talk! Good on you mate

we have a lot in commun in terms of how our brains are wired. i like the way you try to activate dormant neurones related to critical thinking that most have lost. thanks for the informative vid

Well my friend . traded my night train in on a ultra limited. So I am a street glide side. Lol

For the most part, if you want to understand the division we self inflict, follow the money. The other part of that division is Ego. I find at the core most bikers tend to get along until one of those two topics is broached.

Do you have an "Old not Dead" bottom rocker for my leather riding jack as merch???

Here in the USA it's the 883 Sporster that Harley people refer to as "a girl's bike". I've never heard that said about a Big Twin.

Loved this one buddy. You are spot on.

You sir are the Two Wheeled Philosopher of Down Under, once again confusing the situation with logic! Be careful sir, free thinkers are a threat to powers that be. Ride hard, stay safe. God Bless you.

Great video and wise words but....... as we get older and the young kids are not riding Harley's anymore or even riding bikes at all, it's a matter of time before it all ends. At least that's how it looks overhere in Europe. 🤐

Good insights in each video. 👍

Too many people manage their lives based on emotions, rather than facts and logic. How many people subscribe to media (newspapers, magazines, etc.) that help to keep them informed of local and world issues? How many make an effort to investigate the issues behind the politics, and what the politicians actually stand for. Yet so many are aware of what's going on in the Internet, even when its full of misinformation, and outright lies. Democracy exists because we fought for it. We did not want to be dominated by a King's whim. We wanted to determine how our tax money is spent. What has changed is politics is more controlled by those who try to 'spin' how they're out for the little guy, all the while cutting taxes to the Corporations and wealthy, where the majority of their campaign funds come from. Yes, the trend has been that the Corporations and wealthy fund all the lobbyists who actually get all the government their money can buy... Our democracies are in danger, and if we let those (primarily right-wing & Conservatives) gain control, they'll do whatever they can to ensure their vested interests come first, and those interests (the Corporations and wealthy) are that they gain advantage, at the cost of everyone else losing their rights and freedoms. There are reasons why Corporations continue to grow bigger and richer, while everyone else is struggling to hold their own... Stay informed, and stay active to demand your politicians are actually looking out for you...

♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍 Love your work ❗ Keep Living the F#@KING Dream ❗ Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾

Great video I enjoyed that some real observations there 👍🏻🇦🇺

Hey Aamon Great video BUT who makes that MC trailer @ 12:37?

All of humanity 's problems really come from humanity itself 😢

well said mate

Hey, I like the premise, but in my mind it should pertain to the bikes as well. Why does everybody in your vlog have to own and ride all the newer Harleys. There are plenty of people world-wide riding old Harleys into their "golden years". They have paved the way.

Love the Ozzy humour ...do you sit down or stand 🚽

Divide and conquer

Great video 👍👍👍☠️

Amon is there any particular Harley thats not available to you guys and if not why? And since you have a international interest in Harley why not show some of the bikes around the globe on your sight,l think that would be kind of kool.Ride safe.

Y'all drive on the wrong side of the road! Yikes! lol

Is that lipstick red.

Mate that music got to go

How about Gay vs Straight in your list beginning at minutes 8:10? Another false dichotomy :) Please don't leave me out of the mix!
