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.

You inspire me Brother. Thank you.

It seems like when I’m on a Harley all those troubles disappear as you mentioned in another video it’s a unexplainable feeling . I’m a new b. But I have felt that way when I’m riding all my troubles disappear

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!

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 😆

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.

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.

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 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.

cool ride ! pretty country

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

But we have been noticing that all their new rules they are making it that they are not subject to those rules!!! And that is where the division is at its worst their rules taxes and everything else. If they’re not subject to the role they can now be so far out of reach that it will affect us more than ever because they no longer have to care about themselves. Digital ID land taxes spare bedroom tax as we know they never had the Covid jab.
It definitely feels like the new order them being politicians they actually below us but they believe that they are above us. They’re meant to work for us changing the rules means we’re now working for them to supply them a lifestyle. That’s why we no longer have one we need to learn to say no and every time a new tax comes out we need to be very loud and clear that the government can’t do this to us.

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

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

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

Loved this one buddy. You are spot on.

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

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