You are blessed to ride with your pops and uncle 😀
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Everytime his pops is with him I think the samething.
Tall you need to go to Bayside Harley Davidson near Virginia Beach and Norfolk, VA.
Thinking the same thing. Wish I had my pops to ride with!
Wow…So true. Treasure the time bro
You’ve got to be one of the nicest moto guys on RUclips. Down to earth and you’ve got your life priorities straight. Road trips. Good times!
Family matters! Tall is a great example of counting our blessings!
I appreciate the comment. Thank you. Thanks for watching. 😊
"All cursing, profanity, vulgar language, and abbreviations of such will be deleted"; Thank you for that, as soon as I saw that I subscribed.
👍💯 Thanks for noticing.
I didn't see that! I wish they would all do that. I truly don't believe that the founding fathers meant foul language to be included in free speech. I'll be back again.
I think it's great that your dad is still out riding with you and making those memories at his age.
Enjoy your time with your dad and uncle. Be safe, ride it.
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
That’s a blessing riding with your dad and uncles. My mom just turn 79 and 3stage cancer survivor thanks God she is still here with us. She rides two up with me. Not to much long distance anymore cause of health conditions. But she loves riding with me a lot, she really enjoys riding in the back seat and she enjoys taking pictures and videos and enjoying the views. That is the best riding memories we share together! It’s a movie……
“Get out and ride your bike” I didn’t buy mine for the Instagram and enjoying what these beautiful bikes can do makes memories and builds confidence with every mile.
👍💯 Thanks for watching
I'm glad you're getting to take a trip with your Dad. I take my Dad on every trip I take. He passed last year and he loved his Harley. And when it came time to decide whether to sell it or learn to ride I braved it and now I can't get off the thing. Never rode a bike in my life and started out on his 99 Ultra. Love your videos and your spirit. Just hearing your outro got me into the mindset and I'm just glad you're having that experience. Keep doing what you do.
Love your channel Tall and you are a great guy. Thank you for your wonderful RUclips videos on riding Harley Davidsons.
I appreciate you for having a family friendly channel. You’re one of the few I can watch with my kids. They’re in elementary school, but they love bikes. 👊👍🏻
I love your videos sir. You don’t make me feel stupid and I always learn something 💕
Tall, I really enjoy your videos man! You are so passionate in everything you do. Keep up the great content!
I watched the whole video and I love to ride!!! This is my first HD 2022 SG and I love it!! Thanks Tall!!!
Awesome to hear Your Dad and Uncle still riding in there 70`s. I hope to keep going that long. Keep ridin!!! 😎
So much appreciate your video's it's winter in KCMO so watching you ride helps me make it through 👍
Good info, Tall, thanks! Great reminder about the benefits of just simply getting out there and riding our Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Building those memories traveling on the road...I totally agree👊🏾
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love taking road trips on my bike. I have several friends that only ride to work or maybe a couple hours on the weekend, I keep telling them they don’t know what they’re missing. Road trips also gives you experience in all kinds of adverse weather, I usually just plow right through any rain unless it’s so torrential I can’t see. I live in the north east and have to deal with winter, but I since road trips taught me not to fear cold, wind, or rain, I get a couple more months of riding in these parts.
Right On Brother!!!!!
Blessings to You and Your Family and Thank You for sharing!!!!!
I love those long trip videos you make, they are so peaceful.
Hi TT from Australia, yes, I watched the whole video. What a refreshing point of view, loved your rant, should do it more often, big fan of yours....
Good morning, Tall! This is a great video. What a great way to be a positive, impactful ambassador for " Gliding"! Good stuff!
Thanks Tall....Learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge....
Just ran across you video. Great job! Fixing to take a long ride next weekend on my tri glide. I'm 69 and really enjoy it. I bought that bike over a year ago with 5000 miles on it I now have almost 20000 on it now. Safe rides!
Always love your videos Tall. Enjoy your rides and ride safe.
You post some really good tips. Thanks.
And I love your style. Great personality, pleasant voice and just seem like an all around likeable guy.
Very wise words Tall. I've got the Honda Goldwing tour and I could go across the states but never do distance with it. Downloaded Waze thank you..I'm 60 now and its time to be on the bike. It's a lifestyle that cannot be beaten. You inspire me daily.
You said it Tall “we buy these Tour bikes with all these bags and we should just get them out and ride them”. Thanks for sharing this video and sharing the joys of just getting out and riding them.
I love the Cruse control on the motorcycle
It keeps me from wanting to speed
2021 street glide
Love it
I just enjoyed the countryside going by on your video. This summer my father-in-law ,myself and my son-in-law are doing a road trip for a week. Should be a blast. Thanks for the tips. I try to get away for at least one week a year and then a couple of weekend trips.
I've watched some of your videos but this one made me subscribe. Just got a street glide and looking forward to going for some long trips.
Short and sweet - loved the video. Makes me want to get out there on my heritage 114, but man it's cold now.
Thank you, brother. Great stuff! I totally agree! Thx
Good tips I do almost all of those mentioned. Always have rain gear because I learned the hard way. Check tire pressures for sure! Keep hydrated to prevent cramps.
Thats awesome your dad's still riding at his age I hope I'm able to at his age. As for getting out and enjoying the bikes I agree, I'd rather take a rode trip on my SG than my truck any day. Stay safe and have a blessed day!
Really enjoyed that 25 mins with you made some great points, differently the last one get out and ride.... Be safe out there...
Tall, you seem like a real genuine guy and probably cool to hang with. I hope to see you out there some time. Safe travels!
No Tall your awesome my man. Keep up the good work. And enjoy your ride my brother.
About to take off on my Street Glide for a 7 day, 3000 mile trip. Thanks for the tips
Great video! I love the fact that you are doing what you love in your leisure time making memories with your dad and uncle. God blessed, stay safe, and always keep two wheels down! 👍🏾
Thank you. Thanks for watching Marilyn
Another awesome video, Tall! Thanks for the good info you put on your videos. It is wonderful that you get to ride with your Dad, your Uncle and your other family members. Making those memories!! Ride safe and enjoy!!! God bless.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I know I'm discovering late but, nice and real videos. And loving the family rides! Make the memories as you can and cherish them! Only wanted to ask if you could shine a light on the details for the HUD in this video. I Love it. Keep them coming, I'll catch up to through your library, your content is sincerely appreciated.
Lots of good info. Thank you. And the scenery is great. My sister lives in that area and it's def on my list of trips to take on 2 wheels.
Great video as always Tall. Keep up the great work and ride safe. 🤙
Amen Brother let’s ride!
I have a pair of custom molded ear plugs that I picked up at the rally in Laughlin a few years ago. I only wear them on longer rides, or anytime I'm on the highway. I find I can hear sounds better with them on. You can hear your music/navigation, cars, emergency vehicles. Especially good if your pipes are loud. Jmo. I really appreciate the way you talk in your videos, it's like shooting the breeze with a friend, and that you keep things positive!
Thanks for the video! So cool to ride with your father and uncle.
And I just finally got my dream bike…street glide!!! I couldn’t be more happy!!!
Tall your so right about the FF helmet. More refreshed, not beat up by the wind and safety just to mention a few. So many good tips brother....... Ride hard or stay home😎
Awesome vid, Tall. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾
L.D.
I am loving this heads-up display in your video!
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
I miss living and the scenery of the east TN area, looking to retire there when uncle Sam sets me free. LUV the vid TALL.
All great suggestions! Cherish those rides with your dad!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’m a tall fellow as well and have applied many of your suggestion (which have worked out well!!). The one thing I did that I have not heard you mention is foot board spacers. Pushes each side out about an inch and what a difference it makes. So comfortable. You should give it a try. Thanks for all the great videos. Be blessed!!!!
As usual, always great content and suggestions. Keep it up!!
great video !! beautiful day to ride...
Thanks for the ride-along.
I've never had a communication device in my full face I think it would be nice, with that said was coming back from Sturgis and started getting light headed come to find out when I realized it my exhaust was getting up under my fullface it was a little scary I lifted up my visor and got clear headed pretty quick something to think about. Love your video and comments it's cold here and so I'm getting my ride in by watching you thanks brother 👍
Watched the entire video. Love it!
Thank you for all the tips, I'm going for a ride now! 😁
Loved the video. I could watch videos like this all day and will till the day I get my own bike. Then I will be riding to much to watch videos.
I'm also a tall rider @ 6'4. I have tried 3 seats and I agree that the le pera daddy long legs is the best for tall riders. I also switched my brake pedal to a low profile extended. Total game changer! No longer have to lift my leg to brake. Ride safe.
I like the windshield Simmons put on his....I like your channel....a lot of good info and more importantly you seem like a righteous guy.
I put a 7" windshield on my 14 street glide, took the buffing away. Keep up the great vids
MAN TALL,HAVENT BEEN OVER 1OO MILES YET,BEATIFUL RIDE THIS MORNING JUST GOT THE 128 KIT INSTALLED LOOKING FORWARD TO HITTING THE ROAD,THANKS FOR THE HELPFUL TIPS,BLESS U BRO,KEEP LOOKING UP! COWBOY HARVEY HOUSTON
Great video and info ! Thanks tall
Always keep something over your arms especially when the sun is beaming down
👍💯 Thanks for watching
Great tips! We were just near here Saturday on our way back from the beach. You missed a fantastic sub sandwich in Wallace NC. Travel safe
Great advice and video. Hey and vivid black and chrome are the only two colors that never go out of style. Take care.
Commenting for the algorithm. Love the content!
Looks like a great day for a ride. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for reminding about Waze. I’m 72 and still riding good. I started on a mini bike at 13 yrs. old. I have a a Harley Street Glide Special denim black. I only have 31.000 on it. She looks and runs like new. My son and I do all the servicing on it except for the fork fluid, I brought it in for that. I really enjoy watching your videos and I also watch Jerry P from Florida. I’m on the east side of the State. Also Robert Simmons is good also.
I just got home yesterday from a 1500+ mile weekend trip. It was my first road trip on my ‘21 Ultra Limited. The one thing that I haven’t added/changed is highway pegs. I had to use my lowers to stretch out my legs several times. I will be buying highway pegs this week.
I've been riding for 58 years. A lot of his suggestions are spot on. I'd almost swear it was me doing this video. As an IBA member (#71077), I have learned many things for long rides over the years without a radio. Using earplugs is mandatory for me. Bottom line is this: out on the road is great wind therapy.
Great video...safe travels for you, dad, and uncle.🙏🏽
Thanks for watching Adrian
Good stuff. I was glad to hear you mention the key fob battery I ride a lot of ling distance runs and I always change that before I take a long trip, I make sure to do it at least once a year. Yes you can start the bike with out it but it would be a pain to do that for a long period of time. Also I used to ride with a brain bucket but switch to a modular helmet last year and have come to enjoy it, I bought a white Shoei Neotec II with a Pin lock shield so there is no fogging up ever, and its not bad in the heat either, plus I think it takes some of the fatigue out of a long ride. I fell better when I get off the bike after 600 miles or so. I am 62 maybe that's part of it.
I agree get out make memories. I have a 2019 Streetglide with +90,000 miles. Every year I do a epic trip to Sturgis from omaha Nebraska. But on our way we travel to California and do the pacific cost highway to Washington before Sturgis. 5k miles in 7 days. Great memories every time.
90k is some serious riding in that time frame. Any issues with the bike in that duration of time?
Thanks for this video, I'm starting to travel further and further, someday I'd love to travel from NJ to Cali. Maybe when I retire.
I like your videos every time you ride!
Actually I like all of your vids! Keep them coming.
I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching Tourist
Now this is what's up...We are long distance freaks. We ride Wings and but this apply to all riders.
We have been on many cross country BikeCations. We usually don't watch video that are bike specific ie this tittle, however this is advice/tips is for long trips, no matter the bike. Great video Tall, love it.
Next time you are in Northern Cali, Look us up, If we are home, we would love to roll with you and family.
One of my favorite videos! I watched the entire thing.
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.
Nice. Have fun tall. I can't wait for my first long distance trip
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for the ride, I don't have a bike right now God willing it's on the way. You'll have a Blessed day
First time watching your channel and I will be subscribing. You are blessed to be able to ride with your dad and uncle. I lost my dad in 2014 and just lost my mom 2 weeks ago and there is no substitute for family. Ride safe and take care. Had bikes in the past but nothing now. Looking to get back in the saddle as they say. Peace.
Sorry for your lost bro , lost my dad this year
Great video bro! Alot of good useful tips for the long haul ! Ride safe
Really glad you got 124 fixed from sumping!! Ride safe and smart, prayers for you and your family!!
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy your vlogs and wish you and family the best!!! You have the only Afro-American family I've seen truly riding around the country. I truly envy you and hope to ride with ya sometime. Peace and smiles!!
Great video Tall as always, like it a lot
Thanks Tall. Just put a Memphis Shades batwing on my -- 97 Honda Shadow 1100 ace not a Harley 😁 Man what a difference it makes in the wind and it looks really cool. Love your vids. God bless
Couple things.. I never leave the house for a ride without earplugs. And listening to you talking about your pants snagging on the peg reminds me of pulling up to a light and my boot lace loop was over the shifter peg...yaa. Hand break - right foot down. Wow. Use small loops on your boots. Lol.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.
God bless brother
I recently got a 08 street glide. I’m originally from WV but living in GA and I want to ride from GA to WV and thankfully I will be able to clothing and other items in a family member’s car so I won’t have to worry about that. I’ll keep rain gear extra visor, gloves, and a few other things with me.
Hey there Tall. I just got back from a 5200 mile road trip. Started in Ohio. Rode around the smokies for a few days. Headed down to key west. Up to New Orleans then up the Natchez Trace then back to Ohio. I really enjoyed the Moonshiner 28 below Franklin, Joyce Kilner forest, Cherohala skwy. and the foothills pkwy. You are blessed to have a great family.
How many days did you take?
Man I can't wait to my bike get out the harley shop.stay safe in continue to educate people on riding my brother.
I love the display. Very innovative and seems to make your viewer even more involved.
Agree, wondering what it is?
First time I ever watched one of your videos. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the advice
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the info. Watched three of your videos. I’m debating between the Street Glide and the ultra limited. Very informative. Thanks 😊
Great video Tall, watched it on the 75” wow the quality and such a beautiful day bro wish I was out there with you guys.
👍💯 Thanks for watching
Of all the motorcycle channels I enjoy yours the most. Loved this particular video. Somehow I missed you in Daytona but will meet you sometime soon. BTW, I ride a 114 Heritage and I can take that bike anywhere. Softail frame totally capable of big highway miles. Nothing like cruising the interstate at 80 mph!!!!
This has to be one of the best video I have ever seen on taking a long trip. I recently began riding again after a 35 year break from riding and surviving terminal liver Cancer. I have an 800 mile your coming up in June from Sioux Falls, SD to Colorado Springs. You and I are the same height, but I am 66 years old. I do not own a Harley, but a Victory Vision Premium Tour. Most of your suggestions will work on my bike, except my seat is already excellent. A roll bag behind will would do the trick as a backrest and would be easy to secure. I visit and work with Hog members all over my state. Hopefully our paths will cross someday. Thanks and keep 2 on the road.
Glad to hear you survived!!! How are you doing today?
always like your videos , love your bike too , Im a new proud owner of 2021 FLHT, coming off a dyna man this is a dream to ride! just got it in april and still in the break in phase , im really pleased the 107 is plenty enough power for me and i love the fairing . I put vance and hines torquer 450 slip ons , on it sounds great now , some buffeting issues though looking into a taller wind shield , thank for great vids tall man
