Trapped in the Australian bush on the new Harley Pan America

Watching that reminded me of my friend. Her husband told her when she could pick up his Harley by herself he'd buy her a new Harley of her choice. Every day he'd lay his bike down for her. It took her two months, but she got her new Harley. 👍

This has to be the most realistic big bike adventure video I have ever seen 🤣 fair play for posting this for us normal people to see the reality we would all face.

Subscribed! A rare personality who shares not just success but failure, making everyone feel little better about themselves.

So great to have you back in the saddle, THE SHOW GOES ON!!! cheers from Canada

Takes Harley into bush...inevitably drops it and can't lift the damn thing. Who would have ever seen it coming? I am so glad you made a video about it I would have never guessed this would have happened.

My back hurts just watching you lift that bike Danny. Lovin the new adventure so far mate 👍👍👍

For all the people who whined at our hero and told him to get an adventure bike. HE IS the adventure! I'm so glad you're out doing videos for us mate 😎

That heavy breathing, that slightly panicked look, the looking at the bike from all angles and wondering how your going to get out of this. It makes me feel good to know I'm not alone. I remember taking my KLR for my first ride off road and got it stuck in the mud. For some reason I keep coming back :) Tires would help a lot but a big bike is always going to be anxiety inducing on a trail like that.

Nice one DANNY Dont give up, I have seen most of the challenges you have put yourself through and this one should be no exception. You will make it with all the guts and determination you have as a human. All the best for the rest of the adventure.

Enjoy your new bike mate! Hahaha, show must go on! Don't quit mate, you got this!

Would love to have seen Colin’s face during that phone call….

As a KTM 1090 owner I found this to be hilarious because I’ve more or less been there done that quite a few times. Gotta have real tires and understand the limitations of the big bikes. Great stuff!!

Whew, well done getting that big beast of a bike out of that mess. Never give up! Enjoy your bike Danny.

your physical strength amazes me Danny. Bloody awesome job getting that heavy thing upright.

I give you a 100 for effort and originality. I have been in a similar situation with a very heavy bike tookr hours and I remember well the same words at a very high volume. Got it out the same way. Did not quit. Thank you Sir.

Great job Danny, never give up and congratulations on 92K subs, 100K plaque coming soon mate 😁👍🏼

My favorite Aussie Danny you have the determination and courage but leave it there and bring back the Road King. All the best from NZ 🇳🇿

Congratulations on your new bike! Hope Colin gives you a good deal! 😂 always give MDB a thumbs up even before I watch. Never disappoints! Rubber side down friend, or try to!

Daniel since you made that video when you were on quarantine in the hotel and than young block was going mental, have been following you, great video mate hope you didn't give up and carry on the track, cheers mate.

Great perseverance Danny, like the no quit attitude, well done. Now you know if you really like that big bike.

Well as expected your exploits on a motorbike never cease to amaze and bring a lot of joyous humour. You do realise that you can take a course for adventure riding and dealing with a bike like this and it costs only $200.00 maybe this would have been an option prior to taking a 35k monster into the bush. Be that as it may my man keep it up and as you always say never give up. Maybe start on a beach you have great luck with them NOT LOL

Brother this brings me back a few years with my time in Victoria and the gramps with my dirt bike and the Toyota surf and the time I tried to make it to a mates camp site on my gixxer 750 lol. Anytime your in NZ Auckland you have a couch to call home. Your video make us all that bit happier mate keep up the good work.

"You probably want to workout a price for the bike." As always the Bogan is a man of his word and not a douchebag. Awesome and hilariously funny.

Omg laughing out loud on my own in the lounge at your expense. Only discovered your channel a few days ago and trying to watch from the beginning. Your videos and interactions are just awesome! “This is a demo, reckon I’m gonna have to buy it” 😂😂😂

its nice to have you back I love your journey !!

Oh man, the 3rd drop where the side stand fell into the mud had me rolling 🤣. Poor chap seemed to enjoy picking the damn thing up more than actually riding it lmao!

Had me digging my feet in the floor trying to help you pick up that bike. Got right into it. Cheers.

Thanks for the laughs Dan, you're a treasure, one in a million.

The best first ride on the pannam I have seen up today, I thought I would be handling better, in the wild , a lot of the you tube test rides are on script terrain with pre explored tracks ., but improvised in the wild bush is an other story. If you keep customise it, get ride of a lot of dead weight make it as light as possible. Cheers 🍻 amigo.

Definitely the most qualified person around to do a "how to" on picking up bikes

Take care Thanks for taking us along. Boston MA

Can't leave us there! Love your work Danny!

I feel your pain brother. I own one of these bikes, and they are very capable on most any terrain, except mud with those tires. Your determination is inspiration. Ride on .

Next time, put the flat part of the shovel under the kickstand, so it will not sink into the mud.

Danny you have got to be the world record holder for the number of bike lifts!! It's funny how so many people who ride a motorcycle fear dropping their bike, yet you show it's all part of an average day for you!! I will no longer worry about dropping my bike, I'll only be concerned that I didn't get hurt! Love your videos!!

Loving this series, great to have some proper videos again

To be fair, Colin had to know this was going to happen when he rented you the bike lol.

Iv followed you for many years right from the real estate videos and You seem to have changed Your deep in it but you look relaxed smiling and little chuckling

Don’t quit keep going you are awesome at taking Harley Davidson motorcycles anywhere off-road so keep going don’t give up you are cool as hell you make awesome videos

Will gladly accept this gift bike you don't need another, thanks Danny, can you ship it to the UK. Or ride down since it's been a while you've had an international adventure. I promise to park it upright 😂

You don't change a light bulb with a screwdriver... sometimes the smartest thing to do is to change direction, make a new plan and get the right tools (knobby tires, change panniers position). There's nothing wrong with working smarter not harder. However, I must say your perseverance to get that bike off the ground was impressive- I would've been in tears. 💚

Watching this, I found myself believing the Road King is the better adventure bike for you after all. You would’ve been through there with way less trouble. We’ll see what the next installment has on offer.

God i have missed your daily vlogs. Glad to see this pop up in my notifications!

Damn...You went through tougher stuff on the RK...Looks like the RK was easier to get up to...Glad you are back in action...Thanks for sharing...

Good on ya for giving it a go Danny. Some knobblies definitely needed there though. Hope Col’s got a jetwash 😜

The first time you dropped it I was waiting for Guy Trevino to start playing and David Parry to come down the track on his Yamaha, but then I remembered Victoria’s lock out of our country so it’s not possible. Still enjoyable Danny, loving it!

Mate, power to you for having the balls to post that ! The open face lid tells me Adventure Riding is not your natural habitat! Thanks for the laugh champ and keep riding!

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Danny

.... and the Show Goes On... as you would say Danny. Really enjoying this one, a few good laughs as always, especially the call to Colin to ask for a Price on buying the bike! Bet he was pissing himself with laughter on that call.

You may be a bit late to the party with this bike review but, this is THE review everyone has been waiting for. Keep on keeping on!

Thanks Mate, you created „a cliche“ for the HD Panamerica... good for us GS Riders Reputation! First I thought it’s a Comic... but definitely following!!

great to see ya again mate , cheers for the vlog

I think poor Colin needs to get some professional help to have the sheer lunacy of lending you a brand new bike for a "Test ride".

Respect for never give up in front of difficulties but... damn, those tires are definitely not the right ones for a muddy bush!

when ever Im feelin a little depressed I find one of this dudes videos and I know Im not alone. best on youtube

Great job mate. Bloody tough terain for your first time on it. Probably not a great decision concidering weight tyres and bike but you persevered. 👍

Lol. Very authentic. Too many of these adventure bikes are way too heavy for most riders. I am planning to carry a motorcycle jack for when I need to lift it up.

oh man.. thanks for going through this but your reactions were so real I loved it too much

Damn Danny you’re a trooper buddy🤣

Great content as usual mate good to see you back outdoors. .ride safe

Excellent video of real world riding situations that we come across in adventure biking. It shows how simple tip overs or getting stuck can turn a simple tip over into a real emergency. If he tipped over and broke his ankle there’s probably no chance of him getting out of that situation and would have to wait for help, if there wasn’t a back up plan on an arrival time or communication or in longer more remote ride routes, he could be stuck there or anywhere for a long time. Being able to upright a bike in different situations other then the pave dry parking lot at the dealership could be life and death . Also proper bike prep and set up is very important 👍

Great Video. Been there myself when I was riding alone and dropped my 1090r in deep sand. I would get the Bike almost up and then the front tire would just slide away in the sand. Anyways, had to sit down, relax and work out what to do.

When it goes into Cinematic... you know he's gonna make it ;)) Well done MDB, proper tires and a bit more momentum would have made a big difference, but you're still having "fun" ;)

Well done on getting it back up jeesaloo , All the best crazy man

My hat's off to you for even attempting this. I've got a 1993 Honda Transalp which I can't pick up alone. It's got a really high centre of gravity I think. Also, no side panniers. I'll only take it off-road if my wife goes with me. I was riding in the Gobi desert of Mongolia and dropped it a few times in deep sand. We had to unload our luggage just to get it up. Then strap on the soft luggage again. Fall and repeat. So, for solo trail riding, I'm considering either a Yamaha WR250R (street legal) or a KTM 500EXC (not street legal but allowed in Mongolia). These bikes are closer to 100kg than my Transalp's 200kg. I shouldn't have any difficulty picking that up on my own.

You could have used the shovel to put under the sidestand, guess its a bit late to suggest that 🤣

Mate your videos truly are inspiring. I left harley for good and get a Kawasaki Vaquero back when...you know, when Harley did you dirty, and I've never looked back. Funny enough, I'm now getting ready to change to ADV. Gonna get me a Triumph Tiger now. You made up with harley, that's your business. But I do wish you the best, mate! Cheers

That is brave from you get such a bike in there. Congrats for that. Amazing job getting in out.

Makes my worrying about taking a touring bike cross country on paved roads seem petty. Thx for the perspective and a good laugh.

I absolutely love ur vlogs ....an follow u with every 1 ......but what I howled in laughter at was ......gettin out of ditch with hazard lights on ...to warn on coming traffic ur in the shit .......an avoid .......top class as always 👌

the best video i saw on youtube ..... real-life struggle of a man lol just amazing ...

I am looking at a Royal Enfield Himalayan to go similar places much easier to pick up. Well done picking her up and keeping going

One thing that music gets to me all the time great work mate love nz

This had me laughing so very hard. Keep going brother!

those coffee shop tyres need to go, I'm sure some GS1200 owner would buy them 😂

👍 Great video, looking forward to the instalment.

You are one determined man Danny good on ya

Bloody good work mate , great footage

Colin just starts laughing when you call him...lol

Well done on getting your bike back up and you rod the track telly well 👍 a si

I felt your despair. I learned a great deal! Wonderful🤗🤗!

I admire your guts - I took my GSA1200 through similar terrain- and fell more or less 200 times - best full body workout

Yes I do think you're going to be buying the bike and you're definitely are putting it through its Pearce's to see how many times you can drop it. Love it. good on you ♥️👍🏼🏍🏍🏍

Credit to you for having a crack. I'd love to own a Harley but i wouldn't be taking it there. I only recently come across your channel. Looking forward to seeing more.

Very funny. "it's not a trail bike". Gotta love the marketing departments for these beasts (not just Harley). Violated rule #1 when you ride alone off-road: If you can't pick up the bike, don't take it. Second mistake: not turning around after the first fall. Nice job owning up to the real problem and nice job getting it out.

Don't bring a dual-sport on a ride where only a Road King will do ! It's great to have you back again Danny, Thanks for the laughs

Iam laughing with you Danny not at you. One of these days you’ll give up on this idea of taking these heavy harleys out into the muddy bush. But on the other hand your the perfect guy to put this bike to the test!

Your Road King would have pissed those tracks mate. Keep it up. Loving your work

Dani-Living vicariously thru you can be dangerous. Keep livin the dream.

Love your determination your a tough man keep it up 👍

Well done Danny that's how you buy a bike , take the demo and'' trash it '', living the dream .

Love this guy he's a bit nuts but fair play to taking those bikes off road love the channel mate keep it up

The best video with PanAma :))) thanks bro for sharing this. It's not those marketing sh... T, it's a real ride. Respect.

Brah 👊 What the ?? 🤣 Sending Aloha from Kauai 🏍🏝😎

Danny your are the man ! 💪 I’m also a 5’6” ( 167 cm ) But I will not even try to sit on that thing!

Danny, you crack me up brother. I'd be exactly like you in the video. Keep it up brother, Motor on.

lol...oh, no, no! Watching you react when you drop the bike is very entertaining Dan.

I had something like this happen just over a year ago... I still get goosebumps and chills seeing this...

You are a champ....that bloody shovel made it top heavy lol.
