My Dad always said “ If you ain’t got the ass to kick start it you ain’t got the ass to ride it!! We also had competition starting our bikes. It’s a phenomenon for the interest of kick starting our bikes and we definitely have techniques 😊
😊
That is a nice looking bike your brother has there.
He loves it!
Red, love you and your bike, I am 70 do not ride anymore but I love riding with you...Geoffrey, Oregon, USA
Thanks Geoffrey 🙂 I am glad you can enjoy the ride with me!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
😁
My 98 heritage is by far the best bike I ever had. I absolutely love it and will never get rid of her. Big enough to tour but not as heavy or big as a road king. Plus I love how it looks similar to a hard tail but has a small amount of suspension
Yea that's totally my thoughts on the Heritage! Setup to be a good cruiser but not massive like a bagger lol
A lot of people dont know how to use the choke on a Harley-Davidson. They dont know what the screw knob on the throttle is for. It was designed because people were complaining about fouling their spark plugs.
The way it was supposed to work is that you pull the choke and start the bike pushing the choke in immediately, then you adjust the throttle for the bike to run at low rpm and then tighten the knob on the throttle untill the bike warms up then unscrew it when the bike is warm and will idle on it's own
Yea, I have that screw on my shovelhead and always use it. The one from my Dyna is missing though.
Good morning 🌅, Angel, and family, hope you are all having a great week, I was down in the small town yesterday, F Shopping 🛒, when I came out there was a couple with 2 bikes, the guy was riding a very similar bike to FLST 93/94 I think he said, his wife was riding a twin cam, 2000 heritage, FLSTC , Ride Safe, Ride Free, Boys and Girls ❤ from France,
Thanks Phil! You also 😁
"One Kick Wonder"
That needs to be on a shirt with a picture of your bike on it
Yeaaaaaa! I am adding that to the shirt designs list
Beautiful Harley!🤘
Sure is!

Thanks again for the biking romp!!
Any time! 😁
Thanks for keeping the lifestyle alive and ole school!
Always!
The person pulling the camper was definitely a potential hazard. Cool bike. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!!
Hello my beautiful northern neighbor...thanks for taking us along for the ride...your brother's bike looks great...much love ❤❤❤
Any time!
EVO is like Sovelhead refined. Probably the best engine HD made.
Yea they are pretty solid motors eh
Z another good ride Red 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yep!!
A FXR, now? Wonderful choice, if it should happen; they handle amazingly. Your Dyna is terrific, and I for one,miss seeing you riding it. Thank you for an enjoyable ride, Angel!
Yea I would LOVE to get my hands on an FXR 🤩
@@RedRiderCanadaBC yes, although good ones are costly.
The start always sounds so good 😊😊Hope Red is feeling good. Riding the ole Heritage gots to be awesome
It was comfy!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC it’s not always tough, but comfy can be happy sometimes😊😊😊
Just got back from a national road run with the AMCA. About 250 bikes. The oldest was a 1923 JD. I took my Panhead. Seems strange to me that the early evolution's are now considered antiques. I talked to a friend in Ontario about the insurance thing in BC. He lived in BC for a time years ago and said it's the only Provence that forces you to get insurance through the government. Keep the videos coming! I'm looking forward to the ones you do in the snowy season fixing and fabricating things.
Yea BC insurance is so ridiculous. And I am looking forward to some shop time too! Thanks 😁
I have to adjust my clutch just right. And it grabs kinda quick. Love the old school bike. Love the softails. It's what I ride. I am so comfortable on it and had dressers, nothing like a softail . Great watching u ride. Just beautiful!
Your brother's bike is nice and looks even better with you riding it.
But your shovelhead is all you.
Your personality is in every part of your bike.
Also, there's nothing wrong with having another bike that is comfortable on longer trips with fewer fuel stops.
I have my 78 bobber/chopper and a 91 springer softtail, 92 electra glide ultra classic, and now I'm picking up an 82 flt this weekend.
It's a good companion to the 78 shovelhead.
Keep up the great videos, I'm already waiting for the next one.
Oh, I almost forgot congratulations on 1st place at Shovelfest.
Very well deserved 👏 👍 👌
Thank you 😁😁
A old friend had a Heritage that he let me take for a spin. I did like the way she rode for sure. Then I had another friend who said they make for a great boat anchors. If I did have one though, I'd have to put hard bags on it. I'm with you about the softail frames. It makes for a fine handling and riding bike to me. I recently got a 92 Fatboy and she rides so sweet. Just like she rolled off the assembly line. When you have multiple bikes, it does seem like one gets ridden while the other sits in the corner lol. Loved the video and ride! Stay safe in your beautiful B.C.! Peace
I would love to get a softail of some sort as a road tripper!
Thats a nice bike with you on it its a lot nicer and I know that it rides good I had an 2005 that was real smooth I have a 1998 dyna glide and it's a great bike too, my every day ride is a 2012 hertiage softail and it's smooth also great video be careful out there Beautiful Ms Red
It was a super nice ride!
Good morning 🌅, Angel, Have you heard about, iron head Sally , it appears a car has knocked off a bike and rode over. I think lake.,
Though she is up in a wheelchair and hubby is showing her on RUclips , ❤ from France,
I heard. I am glad she made it out alive!
The fender wheel and tire, 1:12 , remind me of the ElectraGlide models of way back. Heritage name seems very appropriate for this well remembered classic. (Had a Harley dealership next door to where I worked, many years ago. Saw many styles of Harley's. (Chopped / modified, long front forks. The local P.D. had a few Three-Wheelers. (First time seeing Harley trikes). Good memories. Thanks for the street cruise.
Sweet. Thanks for watching!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Welcome. Very few things in life matches the two-wheel ride excitement of twisting the throttle and seeing the cars behind you get smaller in the mirrors.
Awesome video, my buddy just got a 2013 heritage that was all decked out with Willie g stuff
Nice 👍
You should start The Red Riders MC club with your family, except for your brother being the odd man out. You have enough to have a good club.
Hi from New Jersey. Angel thanks for the ride video always cool to see your neck of the woods. Your brothers scooter is very nice and you handle it perfectly. Okay enjoy the road and take care.
Thanks for coming for the ride 😁 Take care!
Hi Red. That bike happens to be one of my most favorite bikes ever. 1988 HD Heritage Softail FLSTC in Blueberries ‘n Crème. I’ve been waiting for one to come up for sale. I have a set of original tanks for that bike. I also framed the magazine ad of that bike which is a really cool ad. You are passionate about HD like me
The brown/cream. and black/cream two-tones are also beauties.
Black cream would be nice. And yea, my bro loves his bike!
Bros bike is classy one to have and I like how the pipes make it look like a big Sportster. Nice cruiser! ✌🏻😎
Totally 😎
If you like the heritage you will like the Deluxe. It would fit you better. It's pretty much a heritage except the seat is 26 inches off the ground. That is a sweet looking bike your brother has
Yea I’ve always liked the feel of the heritages
Hope you got some new subscribers have been putting your channel out there
Thank you!! I appreciate that a lot 🙂
Nice softail. Good to hear it is mostly unmolested. Agree with your thoughts on owning a kicker. My kicker Shovelhead rearly bails up but when it does it can be very recalcitrant. Stay safe. Cheers from down under 🇦🇺 Stan.
I love my shovelhead 😁
It's a nice motorcycle a lil heavy for you. Thanks for sharing 😇
Thanks for watching!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC welcome
Awesome
😄
Hi Red Rider I purchased a 1987 Heritage November of '23 it's not as original like the one your riding but the engine, Transmission and frame are nice seeing you cheers
Awesome!
Beautiful bike !!
It sure is!
I love heritage's I always have to lower them though
Yea this one was tall for me for sure.
Very nice bike...
It sure is!
I rode a sporty and a shovel all over the north east and once Canada in my younger days, got a low mileage Evo fatboy 5 years ago. I'm 66 years old, and kicking a high compression shovel was killing me the Evo is like a caddy, compared to the shovel. I'm just not going to stop riding
That's exactly how I feel about my Dyna: like I am on a Cadillac 😏
I like the Dyna!!
Me too!
Yo Red, I think you should put together a Bob Dylan cover band you as the lead singer. 🤣✌️😘♥️😎🇺🇸
My 2006 Softail Deluxe has like a 26” seat height but the stock seat was so wide it would get to me after a bit. Other than that it’s a comfortable bike for longer rides. But my low rider shovel definitely gets more attention and just feel way cooler on it. Your brother has a sweet bike also. Angel you take care and ride safe.
Yea the super wide seats almost defeat the purpose of having a low bike.

Well i like you but I love your bike....bikes lol thx for being you!!!
Thanks 😁
I had problems starting the engine on my motorcycle only when it had 6 volt equipment (and this was only a problem because of an old, very old Soviet battery from a flashlight for miners, since it was high time for him to go to a well-deserved retirement. There was also a battery on the motorcycle from a rocket launcher for shooting down hail. God, what strange batteries were on this motorcycle, there are stories for a whole book😂❤).
Hahah that sounds like a cool book though
I approve this message…

Nice bike ,I road my fatboy for 3 days and then jumped on my wideglide and wow it took a bit to get used to it again I might put handle bars like fatboy on it so they handle closer to the same way ,Great video, Have a great day.
Yea riding this was a lot more comfortable than both my bikes lol
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I was watching a shade tree surgeon video and on his fx Harley he had a sticker that said gay bikers for Jesus so he lost my subscription I don't support evel I'm praying for that man,Have a great day.
Never rode a Heritage but i ride a 85 Tourglide , i should send ya pics
Definitely send em over if you haven’t already!
I was listening to you shift and kept thinking that clutch needed adjusting. I'd think it needs a little tweak, so it's engaging a bit sooner. ✌️Ont. 🍁 edit: don't apoligize for liking a button and a comfy ride. Almost all of us go through it. 40 yrs ago, at 22, I scoffed at 'old men' and their floorboards and windshields and comfortable seats. Now at 62, after yrs on rigid and old swingarm Shovels, my main ride is an Ultra. That's just part of getting older and it's a heck of a lot easier to ride 1400-1500km a day when I need to. 😊
Yea I totally am starting to appreciate the comfort of my Dyna! I still love my shovel, but the Dyna just makes riding so easy.
Sweet!
😃
😃
Thats a really nice bike. You can ride that one a very long way and you probably wouldln't need any tools either.
Yup, probably right about that!
😎🦾you go girl ……!!!! 😎🦾
😎 😁
❤
Your brother's got a great bike. I like hearing you down shifting as you're coming up to stop to assist in braking etc. I driver a standard vehicle the same way. Hate when people are doing 50 mph, let off the gas and sift to neutral, let out the clutch and eventually role to the stop. I don't put the trans in neutral when stopped either. It's in first when I'm stopped. I did notice you're giving too much clutch when changing gears. Bad timing between your clutch release and throttle. Let the clutch out then add throttle. You weren't use to it either.
I always use my gears when slowing down. And the clutch on my bro's bike definitely needs to be adjusted! I was having trouble finding the engagement point because I had to release the clutch almost halfway before getting any grab at all... my clutch is a lot more responsive than that.

Nice clean bike man, those fatboy bars are lot better looking than the stock heritage bars, what seat is on the bike?
The seat is a Corbin seat, super comfortable!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC thx Red
I can see you on a Road King classic .
Perhaps 🤔
👋👋👍❤️🌹
👋 👋 👋
Nice looking bike, seems well cared for. I kept noticing the speedo vibration, I'm wondering if the mounting nuts were tight enough. Always want to fix something, I have more than enough of my own to fix, shouldn't look too close at other's rides. Do your high insurance rates reflect bad drivers or profit?
The insurance rates are for profit more than anything...
Dear LiL' Miss Red Rider: That is one heLL of a sweet 'Lookin' '87 Heritage 🏍 😊 Nice bike/coLor!
Hope you enjoyed the heLL out of ridin' that bike. You handLed it 👏
just fine! i hope 🙏 that day does arrive for you when you want to go riding with your whoLe famiLy 🙂
Take care for now young Lady and
have a very nice day🌞 ✌️🎵🎶🤘
UntiL next time, enjoy going for a cruise on any bike 🏍 you ride 🙂
Thanks again for the sweet video!
cya...😎michaeL😎 ♥️🤍💙
Thanks Michael!! I always enjoy a good ride 😏
Red, can you believe just how comfortable you really were on that bike? You rode it all that way with your subconscious. How about that.
It was so comfy!
👍🐾
👍 🐾 😌
So i consider your shovel a chopper. Mine is a stretched chopper. But a lot of people dont agree with me. And mine will not start with the enrichner.
Yea I have never been able to start it with the enricher... I guess if its chopped its a chopper? IMO
Set your Dyna up for Travelling?
That's the plan!!
Can I just say you're my sister like I do GMA and join your club that way? LOL
😆 🤔 lol
MLLHR see you next time
You too!! Later 👍
Your brother has a very beautiful motorcycle. I do not know why you guys need this information, I am writing it just for the sake of having a comment 😂. Here is my procedure for starting the motorcycle: it is necessary to open two fuel taps (I installed two fuel taps so that there would be no jumper from the hose between the two halves of the tank from below). Then I raise the fuel "Обоготители- Concentrators" on the carburetors, fill the float chambers with gasoline with the help of "Утопители поплавков- Drowners". I turn on two toggle switches (turning on the entire mass and turning on the "Spark" supply. I hate ignition locks and keys that always get in the way in my pocket). I start the engine with a kick and lower the mixture concentrators so as not to "Fill" the candles and then I warm up the engine. Миру- мир!
👍 👍
ride it like ya st0ld it!!
✌😘✌
Lol yep
@@RedRiderCanadaBC
😉🤙
PS If you like me or you like my bike or like my brother. LOL
Hahaha 😆
YES you were slipping that clutch, as was obvious from the sound of the 'engine'. You can wear them out fast.
Yea I know I was. The clutch definitely needs to be adjusted on there, had to let it out like half way before it got any grab.
What do you know about Speed Bumps? (Residents of the private sector of the city of Krasnodar would say). But I admit honestly, more than half of the speed bumps were eliminated because they were illegally installed by the people themselves. :))
😆
Is it normal that the speedo moves/shakes during riding? The bike looks great.
The speedo is a little loose lol
Is there anyway to go over a speed bump on a bike gracefully or cooly without being jerked around?
If you’re going fast enough then it’s a a speed jump… and that’s like a cool I guess lol.
If you crack open the throttle on my Yamaha YZ0-400-F dirt bike .. It might just Lauch you over the handlebars ..
Dear - please stay further to the right of the line - thanks -
🙏
EVO's will run forever... they can have a rod through the side of a jug and they'll still run. lol
😆 😆
🤎👍
😄👍
Evo
Keep the rubber side down Red..
Always
Does your. " Bike " have A reserve! "?
Nope lol
You definitely need a newer Touring bike and start taking longer trips.
The speedo looks loose
It was lol
I’m the opposite. All bikes seem small.
Lol with a name like Mr. Bigg, I’m not surprised.
Yeah, you don’t look the same on that bike as you do your bike.
👍
❤️you woman after all the bikes I’ve had I got a 1991 electa glide classic it’s massive but it’s like riding a couch you always have to be carful those car people are always trying to kill you 😳lol really be alert always 👍🇨🇦🍀🇨🇦🦫🇨🇦🙂🙂🙂
The couches are pretty comfy for sure lol
