@@BigTpowerwashing I've had a Quad Lock with the damper for a long time, and two flagship phones have survived thousands of miles on a KTM big twin at high revs.
Hi Jess. Yes, I traded my 2020 Roadglide Special for the new 2024 streetglide in Whiskey Fire and Chrome. I call her “Fireball”. I had a hard time deciding on RG or SG but in the end, at 5’8” I prefer the closeness of the SG fairing and really like the new batwing fairing design with the integrated LEDs. I only have about 800 miles on her so far but zero regrets. This bike feels so light and fun to ride. This is my 9th bike in the last 23 years and my 3rd Streetglide. Just buy the new bike and come to the Virginia mountains and ride with us!
Thank you for the video. It’s great to hear the views from someone snow birding. We always talk about it but are concerned about the same things you are talking about. I would miss my garage and tools and she would miss all her goodies. Enjoy what remains of your trip. Ride safe.
When you go camping/snowbirding at the number one winter destination in the world, you got to expect it to be expensive and crowded. All the FL cities are getting crowded. I've been birding over 20 years, did the first years in a camper, you need to get away from the cities. There are some small campgrounds pretty reasonable south along HWY 1. State parks aren't bad but need reservations way ahead. I bought a house here 12 years ago in an area that was mostly ranches and orange groves. They are turning into housing developments rapidly. I avoid the Orlando area like the plague. Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami aren't far behind.
I've got a 25ft toyhauler and have spent up to 2 months out on the road with the bike recently. Utah and Hill Country Texas. It's tiny house living basically. You can only take a small portion of what you have at home so it's an adjustment. And as you said its double cost with home base and on the road costs. It's nice you can go where you have friends so that's a plus. I'm at the stage in life where most of my riding friends have stopped 2 wheeling so it's solo travel as the wife doesn't do bikes or RV's anymore. Anyway, try to enjoy it. Be safe out there.
We have to talk about your Worn-Out Boot as you put it. These boots show the love of riding and that connection with your beast. They are broke in and comfy and with just the right amount of cheese and this is why your ride loves you. New boots will usually result in hot stinky feet, blisters, kicking the beast a bit too hard, leaving her a tad miffed with mom. So, you really do need to sit with beasty baby and let her know you plan to but new boots.
Nice video. Yeah, Florida roads are not much fun to ride compared to here in NY. I took my son's sport bike out for the day in Florida, (just to get "ride a sport bike" off my bucket list) and I found myself getting a little bored.. LOL ride safe you two.
I looked at both, the ST and the standard RG. In Canada, the list prices difference was $19,000. I bought theVivid black RG standard (Christened ETTA) but took a chunk of the difference to put some ST parts on the regular: Bars, Stage 2 with the tuner, KW mufflers, Adversary accessories, soon to be installed Ohlins front and rear suspension. I kept the seat as I liked it better. I will now have a hybrid RG that has better suspension, almost as much power and a more subtle look with thousands left in my pocket. Really looking forward to this season...🙂
Jess, sorry I am going to miss ya again this year at your meet & greet....We had to leave on Sunday again...bummer...However, I am going to try sometime in the future...Would really just love to meet ya..Think your videos are aweswome.
Got the white onyx pearl Street Glide with chrome trim. Was planning on the black trim but the chrome stood out, especially in the sun. I was talked into a test ride and that’s all she wrote. It’s garaged now. Waiting for the snow to melt. 😢
I bought the 2024 Road Glide in Sharkskin Blue, partially based on watching your (and others) test rides. I've always been a Street Glide person but I've switched to the dark side! Thanks for your review of the 2024.
We liked Port St. Lucie across to fort myers and south. Naples the Everglades. Less traffic! But winter months are so much worse for “non-driving “ people. I loved ridding in Late October in Florida.
Saddle soap to clean them deep, then about 1/2 hour with black Kiwi, a little water to keep the application rag, and buffing rag moist, which keeps the Kiwi from pulling off the boot and onto the rag. While the scuffs will still be there, the boots will be black again, and nicely waxed for water-resistance. A quick Google on how to wax and shine boots will bring up thousands of "how to" primers. Or, ask an old Soldier or Marine how to spit shine your LPC's (they will explain what is an LPC) If you zipper is not broken, but only stiff to zip/unzip, rub a birthday candle into the teeth. The candle wax will lubricate the zipper, and allow the teeth to mesh again, while chipping off the teeny tiny burrs that have collected over the years.
Yo Jess, obviously you graduated with Honors from the Shadetree Surgeon Finer Arts of Exploration on (Her) Two Wheels. You are never lost if you know what state you are in. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Fury. Keep the Shiny Side Up.
You should be happy you have sunny weather to ride in. We have more than a foot and a half of snow over the last 2 days. And Jordan did pronounce Saskatchewan properly once. Ride Safe down there.
The Clearwater area is nice. We go down there a couple of times a year. I have the same issues Jordan does, mine is mainly L4,L5, and S1. I am a couple years always from a spinal fusion. The neurologist I go to said riding my RGS is better for my back than driving my truck. Hope you guys are doing well. Hope Jordan gets some relief.
When I was attending MMI in Orlando, my wife and I enjoyed riding to Daytona and hopping on A1A and we would ride from there to St. Augustine . It was always nice to stop of in Flagler at Hightides for beer and crab fritters. That was always an Awesome ride.
Next time you snowbird you might want to look at the Brooksville and north of Crystal River areas. That way you have Florida horse/hill (small hills) country and the Florida nature coast.
I moved to Florida in 1992 on the West coast North of Tampa. Yes I have to say the traffic has quadrupled since then. There ae some nice back roads to ride up in Hernando, Homosassa and Sumter counties. What I have found is that most of the slowest drivers in the Left hand passing lanes come from the Mid West. Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and of Couse Canada. I don't know how it is where you live in Ohio but it seems like nobody from up there knows SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT!!!!!! I do enjoy your videos and hope you and your Husband enjoy the rest of your stay here. PS I always hit the like button. good luck on getting the new phone.
Well I'm going to finish the paper work on a 2024 Road Glide this week. A deal was reached we just have to do the paper work lol. As far as color I'm getting the Blue Burst in the black trim. Can wait to crush some miles and record some rides.
A lot of people come to Florida over winter months. Traffic really increases. Of course the tide changes in summer when we Florida residents pour north 😂 Looks like Ohio is a nice state to ride. Will have to check it out!
I bought the 2024 RG in Whiskey Fire. Her name is Trixxie. I am in love with it. Only 400 miles now, but I'm in WI so I take what I can get! 150 miles yesterday and got her out in the rain and had to do the first washing. Awesome awesome bike. It was a very terrible financial decision as I had just bought a bike last year, but whatever gonna ride the wheels off this one!
Jess I got the 2023 CVO Street Glide and I love it! Go trade in your RG and go with the NEW RG. I'm always ready to experience new bikes. Not that I did not enjoy any of my old bikes, but i also enjoy trying out new stuff for the experience of it all.
Great content . I couldn’t agree with you guys more about riding in Florida. I lived in Florida for 4 years thinking it was going to be great riding with the warmer weather. But coming from NJ I found it exactly the same way you guys did. All the roads felt like commuting roads . Riding just felt like commuting or bar hopping in general. I’m back in NJ now and ride all year with my heated gear on beautiful back roads I generally have to myself most days
So I just purchased. Will pick up on Monday. I got the White Onyx. Not named yet. Thinking "Ghost", "Alabaster " or "White Lightning ". Can't wait to put some miles on her.
I just brought the blue burst with black trim RG home and I love it. Took it for its first nice day ride today as it was snowing when I brought it home a few days ago. Came from an 18 RG and not looking back
@@HerTwoWheels thank you. And just an idea IF you do decide to trade AppA, you should do something based upon Greek mythology and call it Athena…just my opinion lol
I can't help but to agree 100% about the southern driving abilities, or lack of ability. I have lived on the gulf coast of MS for 10 years now and still have not gotten adjusted to how bad it is down here. I grew up around the Chicago area and thought I had seen it all while there, but down here said "hold my beer".
That’s a crazy busy area you’re in, plus the average age of folks there is around 80!! You need to come further south😜! Only problem in Florida is you have to ride like nobody has seen you…. Last, your boots look great. Be safe 👍🏻❣️❣️
That is so awesome You basically falling in love with that bike You really got me thinking about trading my 22 RG special... Hope you have a great ride
Hey... I use Danner Boots, not that you need new ones now. Discovered them while I was in the Army and they work great for motorcycling as well, great grip. If FL drivers scare you, don't ride in MD.... WOW!!!!!!
Sorry to hear the snow birding isn't really what you expected and it's quite expensive especially after C'vid. But I hope you guys still enjoy it non the less I hope! Excited to see Jordan video modding the Sportster again. And Jess finding possibly her new favorite shoes. 😆 Sad times about your phone, lol.
I moved to florida from nyc 1 year ago,and even though they have careless drivers here,it is not as bad as nyc , i rode in ormond beach area a few times also ocala forest area and more and it wasnt so bad , just keep your head on a swivel and expect the unexpected.
How to break in new stiff boots...put on old pair of socks, put on ur boots and stand in a tub of warm water as hot as u can tolerate for a few minutes. Then wear the boots until they dry out or a whole day. The boots are still due to being dried out for storage and preventing mold/melded between manufacture and actual usage
Spent 10 days in fort Lauderdale in January and the drivers are terrible. Was talking to a guy in a wheelchair at Shooters that told me he was riding his bike when a driver hit him and took off forever changing his life. Sad.
Got the white Onyx and her name is Era. Had a RKS and also rode a 2021 RG and the difference is BIG! So happy with my choice. Hubby got a Whiskey fire RG too. Worth it!
I found a 2023.5 CVO in the dark platinum. Her name is Foxie and the new redesign is 🔥🔥. Loved my 2020 StreetGlide Special but this new bike is on another level. I understand you not wanting to give that 24 up!!
We prefer to be called natives…CANCELLED!😂🤣Jk. It was really cute listening to you and Jordan’s banter on your ride. Florida drivers are terrible. NC drivers are just as bad and that’s where aI live, but I did spend a few days in Tallahassee and dang near had a heart attack every time I had to drive somewhere. It is so pretty down there though; I’d give anything to live somewhere that has palm trees again ❤🌴
That flashing dash would drive me nuts. I still have old analog bikes. A 75 Shovelhead, a 1986 Sportster, and my fathers 1939 80" Flathead. I wouldn't know how to work on a new motorcycle.
The older you get, you start having more Back Problems. Get a Inversion Table and start using it once or twice a week. You will fill taller because your Joints will become uncompressed and you will have no more back problems. I’ve been using one for 30 years. I used to throw my back out 3to4 times a year until I got one. Try it you’ll like it,no you will love it🥰
It is hard and expensive to camp with a camper and being away from everything you have worked for is the worst part. The best part is to explore and have the experience to choose your next adventure knowing more about the planning process and the economic impact it will have on your life.
Not sure if you are going to still be in Florida by then but Tavares hosts the country's largest Antique Boat Show in the country now. March 22-24th 2024. Great place to ride to and a gorgeous show as well. Aggressive drivers down here? Don't trust them? Just remember most folks are not from here any more! There are some really gorgeous areas of Florida that are still extremely low key. Hardly any traffic on the roads and nice roads. Keep searching and you may find them. My wife and I are in process of moving to an area that as far as traffic goes we sometimes drive for 2-3 minutes without passing a car! Took a long time for this 5th generation Florida boy to find it.
Kidney belts are a must when I raced 6 hr enduros. I’d be miserable if I accidentally forgot it. Jordan should get a backrest for his Harley. You don’t have to actually lean against it the whole time just enough that the back gets signals that there’s something there and it relaxes your muscles. At least that’s what I was told. lol.
lol did you say Lois & Clark? The Superman show? When I was having back pain after a long ride, I got a full length Posture Corrector back brace for like $30 on amazon. Helped me. RVing can be expensive or cheap. Florida is the far end of that scale. Almost any other state is cheaper. Learning to make it cheap an fun takes time. Even then, most people should just rent first. Its not a lifestyle everyone will like. An you need to do it to know. But Florida is a lot of your problems. I know thats where your friends are, but there are a lot of better options in the southern states. North Ga has great mountain riding. Most of the southern coastal states have have better weather an less people than Florida. Parts of Alabama feels like you have the road to yourself. Years ago I vacationed in Florida with my bike. Even back then, in the panhandle, I only rode my bike before 8AM. Roads were to crazy. Even if prices were cheaper, I couldn't do Florida winters.
And I get grief from some about running a headlight modulator down here. But I dont have a lot of jokers pulling out in front of me. J&P is cool, supermarket for bikers. I go by everyday I go to work.
The snow birds are in peak presence right now in Florida. So all roads have 30% more people/ traffic. And they act empowered because they have lots o money and don’t care about anything! I’m not sure if the Gulf coast side of Florida is better but probably anything is better than Orlando.
Ohhh I'm gonna need to try the Salt Shack! I would like to make a special request for Midgey's camper experience lol Ride safe you two! FL drivers don't give AF.
When my parents retired, they went with my aunt to Florida to look at winter living arrangements. After 3 days my dad sat up in bed that night and looked at my mother and said “I ain’t gonna be no damned snowbird!!” And that was that. They went back to New York.
As an Indian Chieftain rider, I test rode a 24 Road Glide and absolutely enjoyed it. I am satisfied with my Betty Chieftain and that price will not allow me to change up at this time. It is a wonderful bike though.
You have now put on many miles on this bike with a trunk storage and no complaints about the handling in the wind. This was not the case when you installed the trunk on Apa. I personally think it was that semi with the high softs that gave you a weird wind sheer turbulance as you rode beside and past that semi.
I traded in my 2022 Low Rider ST for a 2024 Road Glide in Blue Burst with the black trim; after today’s ride of 380 miles from CT through MA into VT and back I have absolutely 0 regrets.
Hope it went well at J&P and you got to meet/say hi to the mgr John while you’re there. Been a long time since he and I reached out to you. BTW, you need new gloves too… the thumb looks thin.
I bought this bike in white pearl. I absolutely love it. I traded my 2020 lowrider s. I thought I was going to be sad to get rid of that bike but I'm not. I love this bike so much. Still trying to think of a name her. Lol
You pronounced "Saskatchewan" almost perfectly your husband did not. And our drivers are about as bad as Florida's, by the look of that beautiful ride. I'm envious: if I did have a broken arm, I've have spent most of yesterday shovelling the snow that we were gifted with on Saturday. And tonight I'd be shovelling again.😒
I live in upstate New York and no a handful of people that have moved to Florida and came back. It was the typical thing where they said is a great place to visit but they didn't want to live there.
Im torn on naming my 24 golden white pearl cvo st either dream killer or traitor(from the star wars reboot trilogy, my shelby was named stormtrooper) im leaning towards dream killer because it definitely kills people's dreams on the road lol
I thought your comments about the crazy drivers in Florida was funny. This morning, i was watching another video with a gentleman there in Florida that his wife worked for an insurance company and was telling about the statistics of car/motorcycle accidents. It was crazy !!!! I've road there myself many times and hate to go there because of the drivers. I live in South Carolina, and the drivers here are bad enough!!! Good luck and be careful.

Did you get the dampener for the quad lock? made a huge difference for me..
@@BigTpowerwashing I've had a Quad Lock with the damper for a long time, and two flagship phones have survived thousands of miles on a KTM big twin at high revs.
Never stress Jesse, do what your heart tells you. Live 2 Ride
Because you can’t afford a phone unless people like your videos. Shhhh. Sad

LMAO at LPC, have not heard/seen that term in many many years.
I’ve spent many, many hours shining my LPC’s during my time in the army. I think it’s almost a lost art these days though.
You should be happy you have sunny weather to ride in. We have more than a foot and a half of snow over the last 2 days. And Jordan did pronounce Saskatchewan properly once. Ride Safe down there.

always fun watching your videos keep doing what you love!!
I just brought the blue burst with black trim RG home and I love it. Took it for its first nice day ride today as it was snowing when I brought it home a few days ago. Came from an 18 RG and not looking back
Congratulations!!!!

I have done this with a lot of boots. I find that the boots tend to last longer by doing this.

I found a 2023.5 CVO in the dark platinum. Her name is Foxie and the new redesign is 🔥🔥. Loved my 2020 StreetGlide Special but this new bike is on another level. I understand you not wanting to give that 24 up!!
I just bought a 2025 RG3 in Sharkskin Blue. I am absolutely in love with it.
We prefer to be called natives…CANCELLED!😂🤣Jk. It was really cute listening to you and Jordan’s banter on your ride. Florida drivers are terrible. NC drivers are just as bad and that’s where aI live, but I did spend a few days in Tallahassee and dang near had a heart attack every time I had to drive somewhere. It is so pretty down there though; I’d give anything to live somewhere that has palm trees again ❤🌴
Home is Home ! Heavy Duty🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼
Jordan missing his garage. 72 in Mansfield. Headed out for ride around Amish country.
Hi Jess here is a tip Water Proof Boots 🥾 Don’t have Zippers on the side 😊
I had the same similar bars for my sportser..they were the la chopper 8 in mini's.
That flashing dash would drive me nuts. I still have old analog bikes. A 75 Shovelhead, a 1986 Sportster, and my fathers 1939 80" Flathead. I wouldn't know how to work on a new motorcycle.
The dash doesn't flash. It's the camera causing that.
The older you get, you start having more Back Problems. Get a Inversion Table and start using it once or twice a week. You will fill taller because your Joints will become uncompressed and you will have no more back problems. I’ve been using one for 30 years. I used to throw my back out 3to4 times a year until I got one. Try it you’ll like it,no you will love it🥰
I traded my 2014 street glide for the white 2024 road glide. I’m really loving the road glide. Getting new pipes and air intake this week.
It is hard and expensive to camp with a camper and being away from everything you have worked for is the worst part. The best part is to explore and have the experience to choose your next adventure knowing more about the planning process and the economic impact it will have on your life.
Not sure if you are going to still be in Florida by then but Tavares hosts the country's largest Antique Boat Show in the country now. March 22-24th 2024. Great place to ride to and a gorgeous show as well. Aggressive drivers down here? Don't trust them? Just remember most folks are not from here any more! There are some really gorgeous areas of Florida that are still extremely low key. Hardly any traffic on the roads and nice roads. Keep searching and you may find them. My wife and I are in process of moving to an area that as far as traffic goes we sometimes drive for 2-3 minutes without passing a car! Took a long time for this 5th generation Florida boy to find it.
Kidney belts are a must when I raced 6 hr enduros. I’d be miserable if I accidentally forgot it. Jordan should get a backrest for his Harley. You don’t have to actually lean against it the whole time just enough that the back gets signals that there’s something there and it relaxes your muscles. At least that’s what I was told. lol.
Safe travels guys. ARKANSAS Badlands
lol did you say Lois & Clark? The Superman show?
When I was having back pain after a long ride, I got a full length Posture Corrector back brace for like $30 on amazon. Helped me.
RVing can be expensive or cheap. Florida is the far end of that scale. Almost any other state is cheaper. Learning to make it cheap an fun takes time. Even then, most people should just rent first. Its not a lifestyle everyone will like. An you need to do it to know. But Florida is a lot of your problems. I know thats where your friends are, but there are a lot of better options in the southern states. North Ga has great mountain riding. Most of the southern coastal states have have better weather an less people than Florida. Parts of Alabama feels like you have the road to yourself. Years ago I vacationed in Florida with my bike. Even back then, in the panhandle, I only rode my bike before 8AM. Roads were to crazy. Even if prices were cheaper, I couldn't do Florida winters.
I really like the bars on the Sporty. So far that's by favorite version.
There WAS another expedition at the same time as Lewis and Clark.......Almost Heroes (great Chris Farley movie) :D
Great video thank you.
Did you buy the road glide? After riding thevtri glide I road the 2024 Road Glide limited loved it
And I get grief from some about running a headlight modulator down here. But I dont have a lot of jokers pulling out in front of me. J&P is cool, supermarket for bikers. I go by everyday I go to work.
The snow birds are in peak presence right now in Florida. So all roads have 30% more people/ traffic. And they act empowered because they have lots o money and don’t care about anything! I’m not sure if the Gulf coast side of Florida is better but probably anything is better than Orlando.
Ohhh I'm gonna need to try the Salt Shack! I would like to make a special request for Midgey's camper experience lol Ride safe you two! FL drivers don't give AF.
Bahaha! Well she has been enjoying “Cat T.V.” On RUclips! We should ride to lunch there!
As a second generation Floridian from Orlando I’m building my dream for when I retire in 6 years in north Florida on the corner of 75 and I-10
Thanks for the info guys about FLORIDA NOT GOING THERE
For camping and stuff check out Blue Ridge GA. Fannon county
When my parents retired, they went with my aunt to Florida to look at winter living arrangements. After 3 days my dad sat up in bed that night and looked at my mother and said “I ain’t gonna be no damned snowbird!!” And that was that. They went back to New York.
As an Indian Chieftain rider, I test rode a 24 Road Glide and absolutely enjoyed it. I am satisfied with my Betty Chieftain and that price will not allow me to change up at this time. It is a wonderful bike though.
Does it matter how you hold a pic or is it preference? I tend to hold mine with thumb/middle finger.
You have now put on many miles on this bike with a trunk storage and no complaints about the handling in the wind. This was not the case when you installed the trunk on Apa. I personally think it was that semi with the high softs that gave you a weird wind sheer turbulance as you rode beside and past that semi.
I am thinking the same thing.
I traded in my 2022 Low Rider ST for a 2024 Road Glide in Blue Burst with the black trim; after today’s ride of 380 miles from CT through MA into VT and back I have absolutely 0 regrets.
Can confirm: TCX makes awesome motorcycle boots.
Hope it went well at J&P and you got to meet/say hi to the mgr John while you’re there. Been a long time since he and I reached out to you. BTW, you need new gloves too… the thumb looks thin.
I bought this bike in white pearl. I absolutely love it. I traded my 2020 lowrider s. I thought I was going to be sad to get rid of that bike but I'm not. I love this bike so much. Still trying to think of a name her. Lol
You pronounced "Saskatchewan" almost perfectly your husband did not. And our drivers are about as bad as Florida's, by the look of that beautiful ride. I'm envious: if I did have a broken arm, I've have spent most of yesterday shovelling the snow that we were gifted with on Saturday. And tonight I'd be shovelling again.😒
What year and motor is Jordans sporster ? I just picked up a 2022 883. I like his mods
I live in upstate New York and no a handful of people that have moved to Florida and came back. It was the typical thing where they said is a great place to visit but they didn't want to live there.
Im torn on naming my 24 golden white pearl cvo st either dream killer or traitor(from the star wars reboot trilogy, my shelby was named stormtrooper) im leaning towards dream killer because it definitely kills people's dreams on the road lol
Riding in FL is almost as bad as NJ but way nicer weather. 😅
What kind of phone mount busted you phone?
18:55 ~ Dance, girl! 🤣
How you doing? Haven't seen any up loads since you was in Cali..
I just bought the 24 roadglide in sharkskin blue. But I am up in canada so can't ride it yet 😫
Warmer days are soon!!!
I thought your comments about the crazy drivers in Florida was funny. This morning, i was watching another video with a gentleman there in Florida that his wife worked for an insurance company and was telling about the statistics of car/motorcycle accidents. It was crazy !!!! I've road there myself many times and hate to go there because of the drivers. I live in South Carolina, and the drivers here are bad enough!!! Good luck and be careful.
I suggest you ride to Dunnellon Florida and up to Cedar Key, FL. Also give a visit to Crystal Harley Davidson Dealership
You need the quadlock vibration damper, I would never fit another phone holder to any bike without the vibration damper
I just got my bike and I can’t wait till I’m ready to have rides like this with my boyfriend
I saw a guy get his toes mangled from a crash when he was wearing tennis shoes. I’ve been wearing steel or carbon toed work boots ever since.
