As a current Sheriff Motor Officer (10 years and counting) this was great. We had Harleys for my first 6 years before swapping to BMW's. We used to ride the Harleys and now the BMWs on local mountain biking trails. Some of the most fun you can have on a street bike!
I've been loving this Sherf department series! It was especially cool becuase, I live in Huntsville, and seeing you guys drive through it on the way back to Pennsylvania was really cool. Love the videos!
That's not always the case what you said some boys got bigger toys than men don't you forget that and the price it's not always a factor you'll be surprised what change in your pocket to get you. Some people pocket change is more than some people savings those are the guys that can buy the new and brand new. But the normal guy probably would just be happy with anything and have fun like me .. and if you want to act like a the big old dogs will be treated like a big (old) dog . Some pups have a bigger bite
Years ago I rode an Ultra Classic for two weeks in Australia. Some of the back "roads" were exactly like that trail y'all rode on. There were a few times I realized I had no business being on those roads, but it was either go forward or try and go back the way we came...always go forward! I was surprised at how the Ultra was able to kinda make it through at all. The person I was with was riding an BMW adventure bike and didn't have the pure adventure I had. I would never do it again, but it was something I'll remember forever. Also kangaroos are jerks and want to kill you.
I agree roos are jerks. I was installing Photo equipment outside Perth. I was staying in a little bungalow and made the mistake of taking food back to my quarters. I was awakened in the middle of the night by a kangaroo leaned back on his tail, kicking and smashing my front door. A nice man with a cattle prod and a noose dragged him away.
@@KDad514 the dealership I rented it from warned me about driving after dusk. We had no choice but to keep going to find fuel, those darn things kept hopping along side us and would instantly jump in front of us. Almost crashed a few times. But Australia is a gorgeous place and the people were wonderful. Hope to return again one day.
@@thoringuidry Agreed, they are very much salt of the earth people with unmatched hospitality. Huge hearted folks who accepted me into their clan and showed me the best time. They branded me an honorary bogan lol as we seemed to be cut from the same cloth. I didn't want to leave.
Craig was killing it out there! Lol This bikes were definitely made for the big boys. He was manhandled the beast. While Sean who is usually the better rider was struggling. Y'all both still did great though!
The best thing I ever seen was my big brother spinning donuts (big slow motion) in the dew covered grass on his 1966 electroglide stroker one morning ! Never took his feet off running boards . Just big wips in slow motion . He played for about 10-15 minutes before heading to work . Great video guys !
What I love about this channel is i feel like im part of the experience, every video i watch. Sean and Craig duo doing all these crazy things. I have to say I love the honda cb200 video, one of my favorites. Try to get more of those classic old school Honda CB bikes on this channel, i love it!
I gotta say, this is your best video yet, im my opinion. I started out dirt riding when I was 8-9 years old, I'm 73 years old now and just bought another Harley Sportster XL1200R, back in January 2022, it's a 2004 with only 4,500 miles on it. I'm doing a few alterations on it to suit me and I think it's going to be fine for now, depends on how smooth it rides these old bones. Thanks for sharing these videos with all of us.
Nice to see that they're capable of this. There's videos out there telling people to never take your bagger on a gravel road. I've never been one to keep my vehicles shined up. I've taken my Ultra Classic on dirt, gravel and grass several times, Just have to be careful. Same off-road rules apply. But after seeing this, can tell that it really digs in due to the weight even with the street tires and the torque can pull you through. Reminds me of a big military transport diesel, lol. If you had ADV tires, it seems like a pretty capable bike if you can handle the weight and lack of handling. Now lets put a snow mobile track on it! At the same time you're putting a lot of stress on a complicated bike that wasn't meant for this type of abuse. But props for showing it can be done. It's a confidence booster for me when I'm on a big Harley.
IDEAS: Find some real police to meet you at the drag strip to race you? Or see if they will let you try to pass the qualification session they have to to become motorcycle cops? The latter would be interesting :)
Every motorcycle safety course I ever took, including the state safety course, was a police motorcycle qualification session, and they were all BS. No normal person rides like that.
@@Steve-ec6ed That's what I told the "former motor police officer" instructors when they kicked me out: this course would be useful for riding on a crowded sidewalk.
welcome to the early days of road trips, they had better tires for the conditions but ended up in a lot of the same predicaments :) If you have rear footrests/pegs, try using them for the jumps, it centers your weight better and the nose won't dive as bad coming down. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun, awesome.
Classic trials racing is early 20th Century cars off-roading on rocky or muddy trails. Pavement is relatively new, this is what everyone had to deal with back then.
You guys crack me up, I've only been subscribed to your channel for a month or two but I'm glad I did. You guys make this so interesting with all the different content. Keep doing it man!!
Sean, this was an absolutely crazy episode, but with pleasant and surprising results. Dishing out all that punishment to these bike in their senior years with all that mileage behind them, was beyond belief. How they they took it was nothing short of incredible. This exemplifies the "long arm of the Law!" I have a new respect for Harleys. You and Craig didn't do too bad either ! Respect. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
What a great video. I did this exact same thing today, just with a super high end carbon road bike. It would have made grown men cry to see the kinds of trails I put my ride through. Super fun though !
Dude I absolutely love that you guys did this ! I’d love one of them ! I’d probably leave it like that and not even care what it looks like ! Thanks for sharing this ! Made my day and my week ❤
I just bought a 2012 ultra limited, and now I am so glad I did. It was my first Harley, and I basically got a two for one special. Thanks for breaking through the glass ceiling on Electra glides men!
Weld both bikes together side by side but have them running independently of each other, then take them off road. I don't think it's going to be as much fun as I am imagining but if you don't try you don't know.
Thank you so much, I have that idea since years, but never found anything useful. Until today! As I am thinking about using a bobber Offroad this might be really an idea. Thanks again!
Sean, you never disappoint!!!!! Watching this video means I can NEVER again brag about taking my Honda CB350 with street tires off the road on the Appalachian Trail back in the early '70's. ;-)
I'm happy to see you guys doing random stuff like this😂 it's the kind of "wreck less with care to not die" that's really fun to watch... As well as the sarcasm
I was bombin' along in my Trans Am today and didn't get a ticket, because the local authorities couldn't get the motorcycles they needed, 'cause you guys got 'em first. Thanks for contributing not only to my personal delinquency, but also general lawlessness among smaller communities all over the US
My 1971 Honda CL350 convinced me mud axle deep anyway was bad. Fun factor went away in deep mud. The weight of a Harley... Rode a 1973 XL250 which was a serious joy. Then I had a 1977 BMW 750 dresser and a riding buddy that loves dirt roads and led us to some not deep enough to stop mud and some scary downhills. I got to ride an 1986 Kawasaki KLR 650. The long travel suspension was a lark till I tried to cross too much soft sand. It spilled and then I had to lift it up and work it up a bit. Not something I would want to do alone.
I rode the Dalton Hwy in Alaska to prudoe bay with my FLHR Road King and my friend in a Sporster XL1200C, with rain 50% of the time, it was the most challenging and fun ride of my life in a Harley, will never do it again, but I love it. Your video brought many memories 👍👍😁
Was a motorcycle cop for 20 yrs riding the Roadking PI. We did a lot of dirty and trail riding pretty much like this video. These FLH's are bulletproof and can take a lot of abuse. Only damage the bikes take is the kickstand springs get ripped off so we always carry extra springs and vise grips to put them back on.
I went through training when I was a motor cop. We didn’t do anything this extreme but we went off-road, up and down stairs, etc. Harleys are very capable machines.
But awesome video love it again I found you guys because of Matt's off-road recovery but you guys are just as good with your content as they are so thank you very much for doing what you do
I took my 17 glide down in August and only damaged my right lid and bag so replaced those already, but after it went down I was in grass and dirt off of an exit ramp, I had to utilize that lift from back by turning away from the bike and lifting by the seat and bag and tank. I almost thought I wouldn't get it but it actually worked.
Enjoyed your video. It built my confidece , as to how well a crusier performs off road on street tires with experienced riders. Now , I can put my Honda VTX 1300 to the test but have to be a wee bit careful at age 75. Once again great video.
great video! You've to watch "the million dollar bogan", he's doing this kind of stuff very often, alone in the middle of nowhere. Must been fun to make this vid! I've got an Electra Classic from 1997, and take it sometimes on dirt tracks and off road. The wheight is awefull😎 Cheers from France
Shawn, in 1972-73 I was ridding a 125 thru the woods near a campground we were staying at and all the sudden I heard a heavy, smooth, bike behind me. It was a Honda 750/4 cylinder motorcycle… we trail bikes around for a couple hours in this sandy/loamy soil and he only had trouble with strong uphill grades due to the weight… I wasn’t surprised at your success… 😂
A grandson and myself did over 30 miles on a "road" in northern Nevada that was 6"-10" of mud in 2020. We past a car that was stuck buried to the frame about 1/4 of the way through. We were riding Honda VTX's Mine had Harley bags and a large sissybar touring bag of luggage and 2 gallons of spare gas. We were both on reserve at the start of the mud so we had to use those 2 gallons. Neither of us fell once, but I did go into the ditch beside the road once when caught by a rut that guided me off. I was surprised that it climbed out of the ditch under it's own power, I didn't think it would. It was quite an adventure and we were committed because we didn't have enough gas to go back. We arrived at the next gas station with about a quart each left. Oh it was raining and in the upper 30's. We had rain gear and warm clothing. I actually was hot from all the energy and effort it took. I have jumped my VTX 23' on dirt track too. I have jumped and wheelied every Bike I have owned at least once, LOL. I am just a kid in his mid 60's. :^)
Hey, where I live, there's a hilltop about 80km from my place. The last 15km are nice off-roading. I went there on my 110cc scooter with complete understanding of returning midway. I made it!! It was crazy amount of fun!!
This may be some of, if not the best content on RU-vid. Cheers! (Now I feel a little obligated to support your merchandise... I mean seriously, you fill up other peoples' cars with gas. That is really freaking awesome. I bet that is something those folks will talk about for weeks. God bless.
This is the only video that actually made me consider owning a Harley if given to me. 👍🏽 Awesome video guys! 🤣 Omg, Craig! "We should ride to the beach and get a crab cake sandwich!"
