ordered a Purple Road King in 2000 [hundred dollars down which girlfriend paid] got it April 2002, $16,000. still riding 130,000 all original except for the tensioners, installed gear drive at 74,000. It's slow by everyone's standard but mine lol, it just runs so good. i do all maintenance except for internals, otherwise I wouldn't be able to own it. Not sure how long it will go I'm 66, hope the bike goes longer than me, cause I ain't done yet. owned a few bikes before the HD. Yamaha's,Triumph, I was riding a goldwing before the Harley, kinda miss the wing for the radio, no vibration, smooth as silk ride and the shaft drive. however that 22 year old bike and me have bonded i believe.
The reason harley outsold the Japanese in the 80s was the motorcycle tariff that was implemented I believe due to harley. They were winning the large cc sales because there was a 45% tariff placed on any motorcycle larger than 700cc. Just a thought I wanted to add. Still love my harley. 😊

Thing is, the manufacturers of vehicles didn’t want to make them complicated. The environmentalists did. Emission control was beginning of the end for an ICE. It was all part of the plan to get to so called 0 emissions in the US and Europe. You can still get a simple vehicle in South America.
Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm new at this, recording with a phone and only have about 5 vids out, so I'm still learning and trying to iron out the kinks. Dirty Motorcycle Vagabond and Scotty gave me a lot of tips of the last few weeks, so hopefully I can get some content out people like and can hear.
The FatBoy was modeled off a Canadian biker build on EasyRider that showed how to make your Softail into a dropped bike. Mine is one that I converted, a 1985 Softail I bought on my re-enlistment bonus. Yes I still have it, 4 speed kicker chain drive.
Scotty bumped into your channel tonight by chance Mark here down southern Missouri Ozarks USA I couldn't hear everything you were saying thinking about getting a Harley never had one before and I don't want to Rench on nothing if I don't have to so what evolution bike would you recommend for me what years would be the best old-school evil to get would you recommend I value your advice thanks is a lot of bikes for sale as you know money is tight for a lot of us when we get busted up and we get disabled and we get retired on small Social Security and when the house is getting ate by termites yeah I'm serious I value your opinion what do you think what would be the best bike for me
Evo peters out.... hell bro, there's still shovel and pan head shit out there. Why in the H would you worry about the plentiful EVO stuff going away... it's not even in the antique category yet....
I think its sometimes funny how US Americans stuble into "Socialism" without realizing it; what he said in regards "Why do you want more?" is basically the core concept of Socialism and highly Anti Capitalistic. Capitalism only works if you always want more, always want something new; because without that drive, you don't have "growth" in an economical sense.
STS has shown me A LOT, simply by posting his content. Hes a true Folk Hero of sorts. Thanks Scotty

A bunch of nice people around you talking about bikes. What do you need more?
Yes bring him back 😊
I have a 79shov got in 82, rebuild a few times still runs great,
There is actually another "short story
So what type of bike do you recommend then, for longevity and easier maintenance?
Now that's a circle of gentlemen I'd like to be a part of for an hour or three!
Really enjoyed watching that, thanks for sharing it.

I went to Odyssey to view your content. I can't get Video only audio. I'm to stupid to figure out what's wrong. What's wrong?
Geardrive cam in twin cam with 6 speed is like yrs from evo. Way better power and dependable after these upgrades plus better riding bikes

This sucks RUclips, bring Scotty back.

I didn't know that. Good to hear. What are the good simple vehicles to look for in South America?
Glad you’re back
Yup, harley had to do something to repair their reliability image and the evo was born!
