On occasion you'll meet a "get a real bike" type of HD rider, but those seem to be rare. As a gentleman I met recently said: "it doesn't matter if you're on a Harley or a Yamaha, we're all hitting the same bugs". :)
That’s what I was told when I went on one of the charity rides.
Yup been on Harleys since 76 all bikes are cool! I'm just a gearhead ha!
And birds sometimes. 10/10 don't recommend
Lol I think it's funny anyone would say that, since a lot of sport bikes are harder to handle than any Harley.
@@QuestionThings123 I got stung in the arm by a bee right before entering a 2 lane tunnel - longest tunnel ride ever
Broke down on an old Yamaha XS1100 20 yrs ago and a rough looking guy on an old Harley spent hours helping me get it going. It’s all good.
now thats cool! Most HD riders I know usually look tough and mean and if anything goes wrong, especially on an older Japanese bike it seem the perfect target to stare and trash talk/intimidate
@@allanmcelroy9840 I’m sure it depends on the guy. Might also be different in a group dynamic. But this guy was great. Old school. Believed if you’re out there in the wind it doesn’t matter what you ride.
@@donschiffer7400 my current ride (more fixer-upper) is 1984 Honda Magna V65
I don't know why I get such a warm feeling when I see riders wearing all their gear! Awesome!
proper gear is the cheapest health insurance you can buy!
Wrong, she cheeped out on the gloves and those important wrist joints will be gooners
Nice to watch gearing up. That was cool, spontaneous, open and friendly.
@@rnat9246 Put it on. Put it all on. (Reference to a Noxzema shaving creme commercial from 1967 .)
Lali, I’m a Harley biker & for 28 years of riding one, a bike rider is a bike rider & your always welcome at bike nights, by the way always enjoy these types of videos that involve rides.
Agreed...I've been riding BMW's for 20 years and a rider is a rider. You'll probably get a lot of attention being a young cute woman, but no one would care or dare to judge your steel!
Amen, brother!
You sir are the exception to the rule. Most Harley guys are elitist pricks who separate themselves from the rest of motorcycle culture. I won't wave to Harley guys anymore unless they wave first because they almost never return the gesture. I love Harley from a historical perspective. Early racing days, the war effort, post war biker culture (my dad was SOCAL biker in the 60s/70s). But weekend warrior denist and attorneys took over so they trailer to a rally to play dress up 3 times a year and brag about having 6k miles on their 10 year old machine. And that allowed Harley to charge the same amount as mechanical marvels like ducati while not innovating and shoving the Evo 88 down our throats for 30 years.
I apologize for the the rant.
@@williamlumpkin6729 I been riding Harley since the 80's ....started out on a Honda in the 60's and I don't care if you ride a Vespa just ride...but I'm not a weekend warrior dr lawyer either.
*"Please, please, nobody hit me," says every rider everywhere all of the time.*
i say this every single time im in the road no my bike lmao ... these people don't know how to drive
Ha ha. Yup. I always think the same thing! “Please don’t pull out in front of me.”
Well said
That's the biker prayer. 😅
It's been a 50/50 shanxe for me on thes bike nights. The old school Harley crowd is maliciously brand loyal, the new gen Harley owners are more open. I say it doesnt matter what your ride as long as you ride. Have fun, be safe.
Show up at Bike Night on a late model sport bike and the old Harley guys likely won't talk to you because they don't know that much in common with you. Show up at Bike Night on an old CB750 Honda and you'll have a crowd of those old Harley guys around your bike talking about their first bike being a CB750 or CB500 after they got home from 'Nam.
@@vernmoore7710 the nam part killed me 😂
@@adtemporary69 A case of the truth hurting? My first ride was a CB-750 and Viet Nam era vet as well.
@@vernmoore7710 say what? I was laughing because when you mentioned the nam part I know exactly what you’re talking about 😂 literally my grandpa
I showed up on a Vmax and got a lot of attention and compliments on the bike.
Dude, you seemed so happy and excited in this video. So glad you are back to enjoying yourself and your channel more again! Best of luck with all the spicy plans!
As long as you ride anything with 2 wheels and an engine, we are all brothers and sisters
Well said
So, If I drive something on 4 wheels, then no matter where I go, if I see bikers, then should I keep the biggest possible distance? 🤔
Does this include a 2 stroke motorized bicycle as well 'cause I want to join the fam but I'm broke AF!?
@@staLkerhu I'm in PA on 3 wheels and not welcome in either group.
@@dmjoon Does that include a moped?
As many HD events I've been to, both with my metric and my HD, I've never encountered any agressions. So yeah, it's not a big deal. Only people who want it to be a big deal will "FEEL" it's an issue. Bless their hearts
When you are around the right people it's that you ride, not what you ride. Just enjoy this journey we call life and smile everytime you toss a leg over your bike! Great content, rock on!!!
They have had bike nights in my town for years, had a street bike for 6 years, never went, decided to go one night last summer and have a look around. I was there about 20 minutes and a biker gang rolls in, chatted seemed friendly. 10 minutes later another gang rolls in, then it goes south, 2 people stabbed, big brawl. Cops show up with assault rifles who nine yards.. Needless to say haven't went back I'm sure its rare but not a great feeling. All the "average" bikes just left or stood to the side and dissipated. Really ruined the night.
A lot of people dont know, that "Harley Davidson" is an old Anglican term that means "Balding and beer bellied man in his late 50s dressed like a pirate." 😃
So jealous of Lali here. Went to a bike night last night on my MT09 SP and my brother was on his knucklehead I rebuilt for him. I got ALL the shite for being on a sportbike. Even from my own brother. Was told get a real bike 19 times. Also future Lali makes a appearance kinda like how future Doodle would occasionally do.
Ride what you like! Riding into the wind is all that matters. Glad you met friends and had a good time. The Ducati is just unreal. Ride safe and have fun!
I have noticed that it is usually the sport bike riders who trash talk Harley riders. I ride a old harley myself and don't care what you ride but if you ever break down you will be happy to see a harley rider. By the way the white bike you were looking at was a V Rod.
As a guy working at a battery store, i had no idea yuasa was here in pa, and it was cool to hear more about them. Working at the battery store is also making me wanna start riding. I've always been a car guy, but bikes are starting to win me over. There's a Harley shop near my home. Been thinking of stopping in for some lessons.
Harley rider here who also rides a Triumph Tiger 900 rally pro. It definitely doesn’t matter what you ride. Just ride safe. ✌️
I ride a Harley, but I’m not a brand fan boy. I don’t care what you ride, just have a great time and let’s all meet up!
Just came across this video, when you're leaving on the duck my wife and I are ahead of you on the bagger. Nice seeing young people enjoying motorcycling.
We’re all out here on two wheels. I’m a Honda rider and I salute everyone from Harley riders to mobility scooters.
Old guy here that remembers bikers in the 70s-80s would destroy import bikes during parties, campouts, etc. Today's "Bike Night" is mostly comprised of guys who got their first bike when Harleys became popular and bought into the whole "lifestyle and Harley Branding" campaign. I've had conversations with guys that say "Harley is the only bike I'd ride" while wearing their HD TM approved costumes. Most guys who actually ride don't discriminate, they're glad to see you out there riding. You do you, ride whatever you want, wherever you want and enjoy the ride.
I also agree with you, the S1000RR is a dream bike.
My buddies would rip on me when we road. They had Harleys. I had a 2015 Kawasaki versys 650.
They would laugh at me because it was a 650. I could not only keep up with them…but I did the whole ride on one tank of gas, and didn’t need help because my bike wouldn’t start…..
I am sooo stupid for selling it. I miss riding so much.
This is mind-blowing! I can't believe how nice and welcoming everyone was! What a great time! Soooooo jealous not to have stuff like this by me. Will definitely be looking into those PA total control classes, how cool!!! Would be worth the ride out to PA for me!
Being a woman probably helps a lot
why would they not be though
This is not the exception....Not unless you roll up on a hard core "Harley only event" and are talking shit...If you are cool with everyone no one will have a problem.
Just know, they are free for PA residents only.
i ride an mt07--went to a harley demo ride event,,,rode the harleys--they felt awkward and lots of heat coming from the bikes?...got back on my mt07 and rode home in great comfort :)
I took my safety course at the local Harley dealership. Definitely the best place to learn. I ride a KLR but I want a garage full bikes eventually.
Took my total control class at that dealership, they are good instructors who will show you how to ride a bike even if you've never been on one. Nice to know they do bike nights there!
Most people that ride HD started on something else. Ride what you like. 👍😎
True...true...not every young noob has Harley money at first
I love bikers with brains. Big thanks for this video Lali!!!
Lali this is a great video! I did have a bit of a chuckle when you said you love Harley Bike night while you briefly left Harley bike night to ride a Ducati 😂
Alas, I see that you were able to connect with Harley and non-Harley folks at that event so that’s neat.
Hi Lali!
Congratulations on your sponsor Yuasa. I'm realy happy for you :)
I've been following your videos for a long time, I love the way you show your love for the bike! A kiss from Portugal.
Drive safely
Such a chatter box🤪I mean that as a compliment Lali. You've been more upbeat than usual, like maybe your not as stressed or loaded with school...
@Yuasa ... You couldn't have picked a better representative than Lali. She's super smart, informed and obviously engaging👍and I have always used Yuasa Batteries...
Good to see you got a nice welcome. A few of my friends have sports bikes as well as Harleys and others had sports bikes when younger and then grew into Harleys later.
It's all two wheels and if we can convert you a Harley, even better. I'm from Scotland but in 2000 a group of friends did a 5000 mile tour of the USA ending up in Sturgis. There were 12 Harleys and Yamaha tourer, a Royal Star I think. When we were stopped for gas, a guy came up to us and checked out the bikes. He said "that's a Yamaha" without hesitiating my friend Ted just answered " it's all right, he let's us ride with him" . That's how it should be.
8:20 Don't be suspicious, don-don't be suspicious, dooon't! 😆
😂 basically
I went to a Bike Night at a Local Harley Dealer in Michigan .. I am 61 years old . I rode my Buell .. I felt like one of the younger people in the crowd. No one was friendly to me at all. I have been to other Biker Rallys and met many friendly people ..
Don't know one "true" motorcycle rider who would care what you ride.
As long as you ride.
the Harley bike nights around here are the only ones worth going to. I don't ride a Harley either, but we see all kinds of stuff at them. Looks like you enjoyed it.
DUDE. I have my eye on the Sportster S as well--it's the first HD thats caught my attention and I'm sooo interesting in test riding one of them!
As for getting into motorcycles to make friends--I'm the same way. Making friends is just hard for me because I'm rather introverted, but motorcycles are a great conversation piece. :) You're much braver than I am haha! Glad you had an awesome time, Lali! :)
That v-rod and sportster are the only HD I would actually buy. What’s funny is I grew up on HD my grandpa and a lot of family had HD and o rode on them a lot as a kid. As I got older I just never liked them. Bike communities can be really cool or really cliquey like a hs friend group 😂
just bought a custom 1200 sportster last year and it is one of the most unique and fun bikes I have ever ridden. With the unique engine pistons sound and the kick the 1200 gives, definitely recommend it as a starter bike since they aren't as dangerous as something with too much juice for new riders like a Busa
I’ve been on the track. Eventually you grow out of the need for that kind of speed. Harley’s are a good way to chill and still have fun.
Love this video haha. Thanks for making my Saturday breakfast fun! Your motorvlogs are always enjoyed, thank you for making content!!
Best looking biker I’ve seen. We are all bikers, I acknowledge all when riding most do to me too. Funny enough I have one of their batteries on my heritage, very good too.
Most riders don’t care what you ride. Rather that you ride. And ride safe.
I enjoy your videos Lali, you are so enthusiastic and upbeat, it really comes through... I'm glad the bike night went well for you, now you'll need to make a few more of them. So glad you're posting again.
Thank you for watching! It's good to be back
I always bring mine to Harley nights. You'd be amazed how many of them appreciate big brakes, high power and performance. Especially considering they are robbed of it daily on the Hardley Ableson 😅
Hardly Ableson LOL
There it is! Look where the dig comes from!
@@Redpawdave You know where Hardly Ablesons belong? At a farm, pulling a plough behind it.
@@MrAnubhabd I have a sport bike it holds the garage door open for my Harley. Lol
@@dkennylee Yeah, ofcourse it does. so you can park your Harley back in since it failed to start and actually go out with the sport bike haha....hey its all for shits and giggles man. Enjoy your Harley. I'm sure its a superb thing to ride
Great video and there's so many bikers who are hesitant to join bike meets etc I'm the same nut once you go ppl just love talking bikes and more so with new bikers on the scene so thanks Lali for sharing your experience. It opens a whole new world for a biker.
Lali, Love your motovlogs! I ride a Pan America (which is way different than the typical Harley Cruiser) and attend several Harley bike outings…
As with your experience, everyone is very welcoming and it Never fails that I end up with a crowd of other Harley riders checking out the Pan Am and asking numerous questions about it.
Keep up the great vlogging!
✊
I loved the video. I am amazed how much better rider you are now. You really have come so far. You ride so many different bikes and are not afraid anymore. You should be proud of your accomplishments. The total control classes is something I will look into.
Hi Lali, you got it! "2 wheels is 2 wheels " so glad you went! I enjoy going to bike night here. But always just Harleys in the lot. Haven't seen any sport bikes yet. Like your channel. Doodle and you are my favs. Ride safe.
I live in Pittsburgh and soooo appreciate that PA makes it so easy to learn to drive safely.
Lali, so so funny and bubbly! I will never forget the battery lesson from your dad. It was very informative.
It was also informative for me. Kind of glad to "be in the shop" with him.
Dam I keep missing you 🤣 I go to Susquehanna bike night every month. So glad you felt welcomed. Most Harley people are just bike people. I for one love all bikes. Well maybe I’ll catch up with you next month.
I've never seen that Harley snubbing of other brands either. I own a Honda Rebel 500 and I've had Harleys pull up next to me on the highway and cruise for miles. A steel horse is a steel horse really. And I'm impressed with this channel really, a young woman with a good relationship with her father (= well balanced/ not a man hater) possesses good riding skills even knows the correct way to name her bike (opposite of your gender). This young woman's got it going on. There you go fellers! She's the real deal zero brain rot.
I’ve come across the “you need a Harley” people lol glad to see they weren’t there that day. I can’t believe classes are free in PA in my area in MA they cost between $385-$425. It’s absolutely crazy!
I always reply to those you gotta get a Harley comments with. Na I want a bike that starts and can make it to the border of my county.😂😂😂😂
I do that all the time lol. Riding is riding lol. I’ll be watching.
2 wheels is 2 wheels ❤️
love seeing ppl showing that we are all just big nerds who like to ride on two wheel cracking a few jokes is fun with your friends but never be a dick to someone even a friend for what they ride at the end of the day its about how much enjoyment you get out of it not what other ppl think and as a sport bike rider i can say some harleys look really nice and are comfy af def getting one in the future great vid much love everyone
Bro that was my motorcycle instructor! lmao and I passed this yesterday ugh I wish I knew you were there I need to get a picture lol 💪 You should do a meet up, tons of people would show up
Josh and Chey went to the Harley dealership for a similar event. In usual Shadetree fashion, he took the Goldwing and kept his Honda hat on the whole time. They both fit in as if they were riding Harleys. A true "biker" that rides every brand. Nobody had any negativity towards them.
Hi Lali
Just found your channel and I like your easy going style, so have subscribed.
I am an MT09 rider in New Zealand so we share the same brand.
To reinforce what has already been said in the comments, it does not matter what you ride, so long as it is your ride! Cheers Greg
Great jacket, I've got the Matador two piece. I ride with guys with Monsters, and they don't care I ride a S Sport ZX6R. They also know I track it, and just enjoy hanging out and going for rides and discussing what I've been doing with our bikes and how the track is going etc. it's all bike talk and no one cares what type of bike, at least with the circles I associate with.
Haha, the faces they made at first were funny. But yeah bikers being bikers are so nice and welcoming! If I were there and appreciated the Harley's and see any other bike popping up will definitely check it out and have a chat lol. Great stuff about the sponsor as well! So happy for you! Also, if you are going to travel riding different bikes, the garage might be a useful object to store your bikes in. And yes I said bikes, cause I believe your channel will be pumping and blowing up. So you can order the used or new bike whilst being on the road. XD
So many good vibes from you, it's literally busting through the screen haha! So much fun to be around you i imagine.
Been riding for a long time. Mostly Honda Shadows. Love the Harley guys. They call my bike a Hardly, and I ask if they want me to ride behind them with a magnet to pick up the parts falling off their bikes. All in good fun.
So, so beautiful. Every woman who rides a motorcycle is special.
Girl you have the best personality 😝👍 So casual talking while getting your riding gear on 😂 You not baby girl ! You just having fun & living a great life 👍 Cheers from steve in Bundaberg Australia 🇭🇲🍹🕺
A few years ago, I visited a friend of mine that moved to Texas. We went to a H-D dealer during an open house event. They served us beer. It was my first time drinking a Lone Star. We walked around the place and talked about bikes. It was a good time. 👍🏾
This video makes me so nostalgic for warm weather when I can ride, I have a ninja 300 that I brought home this weekend and this will be my first season riding my own bike. These NY winters off are no fun, I’m sure you can relate in PA.
They were all jealous because you had the coolest looking bike there.
I had to listen a second time to hear again the Dealer's guy plug for the safety course on learning to ride a MC. The one near me here in TX charges $125. Penn. may be a long way for free but I'm totally embarrassed that my great state is gouging people. I really enjoy your vids. I'm a 73 yr. old man that didn't start until I was late in my 60's. Never got my license and was riding on borrowed time if you get my drift. Rubber side down, shiny side up !!
Man I wish we had the kind of program in Maine that PA has. My big bro took the PA course and couldn't say enough about it!
Highly recommend a Harley. I have had many throughout the years and never had one I did not love and wanted to ride everyday. Sure, there are lemons but every product has lemons. Be sure to have any used Harleys inspected by an authorized dealer. If you can I recommend buying new from the dealer right off the showroom floor. You know it has never been dropped and has never been run too lean or with dirty oil. Since you ride sportbikes already, I recommend a Harley that is just a little bigger than what you are used to rather than the same size or smaller. You may want to take a look at the Slim or Slim Special model. You will most likely fall in love with floor/footboards rather than pegs.
I showed up at a show and shine type bike night at a diner on my KLR after a day of muddy trails. You could visibly see the discomfort if I got too close. The name patches like 'Porky' Sgt at Arms on the H.O.G vests and fingerless gloves were funny.
For such and individualistic activity that claims nonconformity we sure do like to put ourselves into groups that almost have uniforms.
Glad you had fun, there are some clowns on HDs but most guys are fine.
I can’t wait to start riding, gonna try and get a super moto dual sport. Happy Riding!
afaik, dualsport sports and super motos are separate categories
@@aidenpearce5275 ohh true, I got ya
Great video, nice to see fellow riders. Rented a 2023 soft tail in Albuquerque in July, when visiting the US, rode around the mountains and through Madrid to Santa Fe. Loved the ride and the weather but not so the Harley, too slow, too heavy and agricultural but I ticked the route66 box on a harley though. My own is an 890 Duke R, quite similar to yours.
Every event that I go to around my area theres always a sport bike or 2 there. Maybe you ust want to go and hang out. Great thing about bikes is theres somethign for everyone. I love my road glide st. One of my best friends absolutely hates it we still ride together though.
One of the groups I ride with are all HD guys, and we go on pretty long trips together as the only sport bike. We went to an HD dealership in Lebanon NH even, and they were all very cool. There are definitely a lot of stuck up Harley guys, but I think it's gotten a lot better over the years. Though the sport bike scene has always seemed a lot friendlier, and that hasn't changed much.
I currently ride a Harley but grew up riding dirtbikes and sport bikes. I am not a "biker", I am a motorcyclist that just happens to be on a Harley at the moment. I know a lot of guys just like me. So we all don't hate anything non Harley.😉
You doing gods work. They can’t possibly hate a girl on a bike.
Harley riders know that they are the casual chill bunch. Its the supersport/ supermoto riders that are ones who are intimidating... But all are super welcoming and nice.
There’s a lot of different bike lovers and unfortunately some are super biased. I personally want some of every class. The freedom on any bike is on a best level feeling
I’m just glad to see someone else on 2 wheels, I’m hyped to see someone that stands out to other women about riding a bike.
I was in a group of touring bikes heading south through Europe on the German autobahn. Suddenly we saw police and blinking blue lights. It turned out to be a huge group of Harleys, almost 150 bikes, stopped on the motorway to help a woman on a Japanese motorcycle that had a breakdown... The police were diverting the traffic, and when the lady was back in the saddle, everyone took off. We got the story from other bikers at the next tank stop. Bikers are gentlemen... 😂
I've been to a lot of bike events and I never see anything but respect these days
You may have already heard this before, but it never dawned on me till it happened to one of my friends. When riding alone, try not to keep your phone attached to a holder in case you have a crash, your bikes gonna go one way and you’re gonna go the other and you might not be able to get a hold of your phone to call for help. Like I said, I never thought about it until it happened to one of my friends.
Yep, Harley rider here and I too don't care what the bike is as long as its rider isn't obnoxious or doing stupid stuff. We ride as riders, not sponsors or advertisements. Ride what makes ya happy and stick around people that compliment you versus taunt and belittle you. 😁👍
I like anything on 2 wheels. Prefer sport bikes for the speed but harleys have an asthetic all their own. They're all good. 👍👍
My neighbor is a Harley Rider. Bikes are bike, we love everyone! Also, shoutout to Pennsylvania. I'm out in the State College/Altoona area. If you ever find yourself out here, let's ride!
You should think about an aluminum toy hauler rv if you want to travel! Then you get your bikes, your house and your travel all together!
I ride my V Star to bike nights and my friends ride their crotch rockets or whatever they feel like. Usually there's some good natured ribbing like we did in the military. It's been rare that any of us have come across any hard-core HD guys that really want to start trouble.
First video I've seen from you. I like the video a lot! Got my sub!
the digital display on your mt07 looks so clean
Me and my son went to a Combat Vet meet at a Harley dealership in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I was on my ZH2 my son rode my ZX14r. Nobody cared we were just there to have a good time. I do own Harleys but we happened to be riding the rockets that day.
When you asked , " what is this thing ?" That thing is a Vrod Muscle . I have a Vrod Night Rod and Vrod Muscle . They are amazing .
I was in a group ride with three other people. One of them was on a Kawsaki 1000,one was on a BMWs1000RR. And thr other was a Yamaha R6. I was on a Harley Night train. Felt like the odd one out but I traded my sport bike for a cruiser. It's always good when people can look past the bike and just be friends and ride.
When I turned 21 I bought a 883 Sportster, my first bike. I took so much static from the older guys that rode 1340's that I sold my bike. I never expected to meet so many stuck-up Harley riders. I bought a V- Star, a better bike in my opinion, and road that alone for many years.
Wow, FREE MSF training AND a free bike to use for it? That’s pretty cool. Gotta pay for all that here in Cali.
Anyone who doesn’t welcome all bikes at a bike night (even at a HD dealer) is not worth your time. We’re all in this 2 wheeled journey together. That said I always go to the local HD bike night on my speed triple and it’s usually a pretty good time.
It’s funny when your a new rider cause as soon as you take your first ride out on the rode your realize you know belong to this huge club of people who also love to ride motorcycles
I literally live 35 min away from there, never knew they have bike meets. You should try the breakfast meets at the ephrata american legion, they're held every first Sunday of each month. Safe riding, 🏍🏍🛣
Ya know, most of the times ive signalled to other bikers, theyve given the 2 down back regardless of bike type. Every harley guy ive spoken to has been just fine, aside from some lighthearted ribbing which i dont mind, and i know enough "harley leaked oil on your driveway" counterjokes that it works out pretty well. 😂
We're all on 2 wheel, the cars are trying to murder us all equally, so the brotherhood of riders holds.
Hearing you talk about a dream bike really solidifies my choice next year. Stuck between Africa Twin or some other practical highway muncher, or a ZH2. I am obsessed with the Z H2
I remember doing the same thing but instead of a sports bike, it was a Chieftain Dark Horse. They weren't too amused but still let me hang out lmao.
