    Went 2 years riding just a motorcycle and it wasn’t so bad in my 20’s. Now in my mid 50’s I’m thankful I don’t have to do it. 😎👍🇺🇸

    When it came to why you ride, when you ride, and the adverse weather conditions you find yourself in when your riding ( lightning dancing on the pavement in front of you in a thunderstorm ), hail situations and the snow, you just handle it back in the day.
    68, retired, fairweather I can handle that too. Not a bad word after all.
    50 yrs. of riding, an i still haven't done a ride on a harley, and there were some classics in those easyrider spreads.
    Current ride 98 VL 1500 Intruder, just a Waterhouse and armourall soap, and she's ready to ride.

    I live in Michigan and love riding east Tennessee/North Carolina roads. Took my wife down for 1st annual Smokey Mountain rally last year. We could have left a day early and stayed dry, but we choose to stay and rode for 8 hrs in total down pour on the way home. We survived and have that memory to look back on. First time I went to that area, it was 45 degrees and raining when I left the house. Can't let a little water keep us down!! I did end up stopping at Cabelas an hour into that trip for some waterproof insulated gloves.

    You may have relatives or friends that you get along with and never or very seldom have a difference of opinion with them. However, the one person, on earth, that you never encounter a problem with and knows exactly what you like, feel and appreciates and agrees with your every decision is yourself. Do what you like, makes you happy and satisfies your wants, needs and desires and as long as it is not something that goes against The Lord, you will be alright. Prayers and Abundant Blessings to you and yours. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✝🛐❤

    Best not to be Harley snob 😊, it doesn’t matter to me what friends or acquaintances ride it’s all about the adventure, enjoyment, and being with people that share a common interest. “Hardcore” so many definitions to what that really is, personally I don’t like riding in the rain even pillion, prefer a beautiful sunny day. 🙏🏻

    Hello Itchy. I've been enjoying your videos for a couple of years now. I agree. Ride your own ride. I ride for the enjoyment of nature and God's creation. The bike itself is just a machine - a mere tool.

    I appreciate your stories and perspectives on life and the motorcycling community.
    Coincidentally, as I was watching you make that delicious looking salsa I was enjoying tacos at home. Unlike your homemade salsa, I had to settle for Victoria's, nonetheless, a good salsa for store bought.
    Stay safe, and keep riding.

    Harley Davidson the company, under the leadership of today, is on the verge of being everything old school bikers used to hate.
    I don't use this term much ,but HD has gone woke. I'm sure there's a lot of riders today that hate them for it.
    On the other hand. They're putting out some of the best bikes ever in their history.Like ole Bob Dylan said. Times they are a changing

    Itchy, I’m with you. When you can ride any day of the week, you can pick and choose what weather you want to ride in. And if you ride, you’re gonna get caught in inclement weather; that includes rain. And we do, do that. We ride, you have ridden what, 40, 50 years??? Any clown claiming you’re no biker, hasn’t watched enough of your content. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Mark, you use too ride 600+ miles a day ( at times) on your softail evo fatboy? Ya? I have a 1998 fatboy. And other bikes. A couple evo dressers. Recently purchased a 2016 streetglide 103ci , my first twin cam bike. Riding long distance on a evo softail long distance is a very different experience than riding a evo dresser. Again, riding the late model twin cam dresser is a vastly different ride than the evo dressers. I would liken riding the evo softail to riding a hardtail pan or shovel before ever relating it to a rubber mount bike. The evo softail would be my last choice for long distance if I'd even be willing to do it. If it was my only bike it would probably be a different story I guess.
    Great video Mark. Thanks for everything.

    As for the riding in the rain goes. When I was young all I had to ribe was bikes, and I rode no matter what. I was an only child and I couldn;t handle being alone.
    Hot, cold, rain and sleet. I was out the door and gone most of the time. So, I put in my time on wet even icy roads and all the rest thay comes with it.
    It hasn't been that long since It poured down on us. We had to pull over give it a minute, and go again. But I don't leave the house in it.
