Great looking Bike Jerry, love your Video's! Thank you for all your content......Still riding and learning at 66....your channel and contributions are appreciated......
That bike is still my favorite Harley I have seen to date.
I had a 69 shovel-head electraglide. Still had the pan head bottom end and the new shovel-head top end. Great motorcycle.
Glad you like your ride. It's great when you find something that just works for you. It's sad your wife can't ride any more, I hope she's doing okay. Best regards to you and your family!
Quality of video and commentary is EXCELLENT!!! Motorman showing how it's done.
He always does!!
Old school is soo good Deputy. I got my 06 sportster 2:37 2 years ago and just love it. It’s got 103,000km and I’ll rebuild it and go again when the time comes. It’s still like new.
Pretty bike Jerry. I own three Rushmore Street Glides; two Specials, '21 and '23, and a '22 CVO Street Glide. I love all three!!
2.5 years gone by! I remember your video when you first got it
Man I’m 65 and I have been riding my 02 Electra glide since 26 thousand miles when I bought it ten years ago, she’s getting tired at around 150 thousand miles. Wish I could afford one of those baby’s!!!!!!
Hey Jerry thanks for all of the information that you put out there. Been watching you for a while now and I’m actually going out this weekend to practice the u turns and the breaking drills. Been riding for many years and I know there is always room for improvement. Enjoy!
I bought a2019 FLHTK. I struggled with finances for a year or so but I am so glad I pulled the trigger. It’s now payed off now and I also will probably keep it for ever.
Ive been riding the same 2001 roadking classic for over 20 years ,daily rider during riding season.
Right there with you, Jerry! I have the same bike and love it so much. In fact, I am sold on only ever buying another ElectraGlide. A truly great riding experience!
It's gorgeous, enough said .
I’m not a fan of modern Harleys but if I was to own one it would be this model (or the Road King you showed). It looks so iconic - it’s a real thing of beauty. Congratulations, and even as a “Sunday” ride it’s worth it.
Hey Jerry, great video, subscribed!
Love the bike and the camera work!
I bought my Ultra Limited new 8 years ago and I still love it.
Love that.bike…
Great motorcycle for sure...mine is vivid black..
That is a beautiful bike love it thanks for sharing take care
Motorman, I don't ride myself although I have friends and relatives who do. I follow and enjoy your content and share it with others. It saddens me to hear your wife had to give up riding. For what it's worth I hope she can find a way to improve her condition.
You luv it so much, you got two!
I’ve been close to buying a used example of this one. I love the paint scheme!
I love the looks of these Icon models, but I don't care for how the seat places you up so high. The Heritage model is the only one that doesn't raise you up so high.
The Roadking in red and orange looks cool, and my fav is the Heritage Hydraglide red / white.
dang cant believe its been 2 years already
I’m still enjoying mine ⚪️🔵⚫️
Beautiful bike ❤️
Couldn't agree with you more. The FL icons are all really pretty bikes. The FX I Couldn't figure out what they were commemorating. Would like to see the Hydra Glide. Looks nice in the videos I've seen
love the paint job I might paint my next road glide like that.
Thanks Jerry.❤
Great looking bike Jerry. When I saw the Revival back in 2021 I had a Road King and a CVO Road Glide Ultra in the stable. Fast forward to 2023 and I sold both bikes and purchased a new '23 BMW R1250RT. Later on saw a '23 HD Highway King Icon and I had to have it. Just turned 70 and ride as often as possible. Use it or loose it.
What color Highway King did you get?
Beautiful bike for sure 👍
Keep on rolling 😊😊😊
Hello Jerry, hope you and your family are doing well and the storm didn't hit you, blessings!!!
Thanks. No storms near us.
@@motorman857 thank god, regards....
I love you Sir ❤
I Bought a StreetGlide Special 2014 103cui 1HD from the USA and i love my Bike. An original US Model on the german roads to Drive is a Dream ❤
Much love and many greetings from Germany Sir
Had a chance to buy one, regret that I didn't.
Hopefully something else will come along and you'll get that "it was meant to be" feeling.
Looks great, Motorman
What's wrong with people and their hate mail?... some people's kids
Nice bike, I laughed when you mentioned about someone wanting to steal it if you go on a trip, so true. Maybe get a motorcycle cover that says Kawasaki on it, no one has tried to steal my Kawasaki Voyager yet, lol
It beautiful!!!!
I always pack a light/lite cover for overnights ,keeps opportunists oblivious .
the hate mail was just stupid ;; whats wrong with people ;;;
The last Icon bike looks like something Honda would make
Nice bike jerry , My bike is black and I'm going to put stretch bags on it. But I can't get the same color so what I'm fixing to do is put red ones on there.I put them on once and that bitc looks really good. To be honest am going to leave them red , black and red looks good together
You should just paint the bags. If it were me, and I wanted red bags, I'd do a 2 tone black and red and add some red pin striping on the tank and fenders. Here's a video on painting parts using quality automotive rattle can paint. ruclips.net/video/ly4oJsTGwGQ/видео.html
Hi Jerry, the icons are really nice, love your bike… a question for you, do you know if there is a way to lower the solo seat just a bit? I cannot find any information on it, I have the 2023 in hi-if magenta .. love the bike .. congrats on yours…. I have 129/750…. It gets a lot of compliments….. be well…
I don't know how you'd lower the seat but you can get a H.D. solo seat and re-upholster it to match the Revival. Hre's what that looks like. ruclips.net/video/RuUUp-kTSRo/видео.html
I ran into a similar problem with my 09 Ultra. Normally ride with the table top, wife prefers that to the lick N stick varieties hanging on the wall in the garage. I wanted the look of the original style solo seat but it made the bike sit higher. A friend suggested a company in Arizona called Bitchin Baggers. Send them your rear shocks, they cut mine down One and a quarter inches, made the difference for me, I am 5'7. Love the new solo seat look of nostalgia. Bitchin Baggers reworks the entire shock, new valves, new everything, they work great. Bike exhibits no ride-ability issues. Three years now and no problems, I know how far she will lean before she sparks..
@@drummhed83 thank you !
@@motorman857 thank you Jerry!
Also, you should know, your bike already has the shorter 12" shocks in the back. That shock only has 2 inches of travel. Lowering it any further will severely limit your lean angle and cause the shocks to bottom out very quickly.
Beautiful bike, love the color. Curious question, do you modify your bikes, Stage 1, 2, 3 or do you leave them bone stock?
I've left the Revival exactly as it came. On my other bikes I usually just add Tab mufflers. The only one I've ever had anything more done is my 2022 FLHTP. On that bike I had the dealer add a stage 2 kit.
Could you please do a Honda Grom bike review? Thank you
Very beautiful bikes! Enjoy!
Sorry about your wife. Perhaps she is able to come with you as a pillion? (On one of your other bikes of course 😊).
Nice bike 👍😊😎🇺🇸!
Thanks 👍
I hope your son has to wait a long long time.
Well the good thing is the wife didn't put u in the dog house and u ended up with a beautiful iconic bike. The have 5 of these in the dealership near me and they are having tough times selling them cus of the new black out craze, so if i see the price come down on them i might grab one for myself. Thanks for a great video Jerry as always and ride safe as u can see what happened to Colonel West and another youtuber guy i can't remember his name they both got in accidents and they were not wearing protective clothing. Good to see that u wear protective gear as do I. once again ride safe.
Where is the dealership?
@@sboy1955 I'm sorry my friend but I don't disclose the city I live in on the internet take care and ride safe.
Just do a google search for a Revival.
Ride on Jerry
0:46 ... hands up anyone who did NOT pause the video and enjoy the moment!
I sold my bike 4 years ago the best choice i made .Ride today so dangerous on WA State 101 many Motorcycle Accidents 🏍 Doesn't work spend my life on Weelchair..
Maybe you should have just gotten some training. 99% of motorcycle crashes were avoidable.
Hey Jerry, could I ask you a question about horns?
Motorman have you ever done a video showing how you set up your cameras on your bike and how you go about making a nice video like this?? 06/06/2024.
I'm about to do that tomorrow.
Hey Jerry question I’ve ridden dirt bikes my entire childhood, and had RM 250, CR 480, etc. I miss riding and want to get a road bike to enjoy that feeling again, but I don’t know what to get. I’m not worried about skill as I can’t imagine I’d loose the skill. My street bike experience is limited to a few rides on a 70s SL350, besides being top heavy I didn’t have any issues riding. Unfortunately I’m a big guy so a little bike is well physically not possible, what would be a good starter bike that can handle height and weight?
Go with a late model Triumph Bonneville.
So Donna couldn't ride this Icon after her hip surgery OR ride at all? I sincerely hope she can still ride since she's so proficient at it.
She still has the ability to ride but her doctor advises against it.
@@motorman857 I'm very sorry to hear that.
The clutch of my revival don't want to go. I will go to assistance and I will hope on them.
I don't understand your comment. Explain the problem and I may be able to help you.
@@motorman857 I will. Thank you for your interest.
I am curious as to why your wife can no longer ride after hip surgery .
As someone who's had hip and knee replacement on my left leg, I am interested in the possibility of post surgery complications and what went wrong.
I had hip replacement in 2022 and was on my 93 FXRS-CONV two weeks after surgery.
The surgeon commented,
"that's what we want to see"
I guess I was under the impression that this procedure was bullet proof.
This was her 7th hip surgery. The doctor said there was not enough hip bone left to attach the titanium bolts to.
Amazing
Will you be reviewing the Icon Heritage (Hydra Glide) any time soon?
They are difficult to find. Plus, I've reviewed the Heritage with the 114 motor and it's the same bike as the Hydra Glide.
Nice ride motor men
Thanks ✌
Sensei: I have a line on one of these. I’m thinking if you bought one for your wife (a talented rider) that you probably scoff at the idea of seat height being an issue if the rider possesses the skills. I'm working on acquiring them, but Im not sure I’m quite there. Although I’m 5’6” the learning curve on my Road Glide was not steep at all. But I’m not sure I want to be uncomfortable on the bike. Should I go for it and trust myself to acquire the skills needed to ride this bike with such a high seat, or should I let the opportunity go? It is a beautiful bike!
If little girls can do it...ruclips.net/video/9G3WtCYd7AQ/видео.html
@@motorman857 I knew what you would say, but I wanted to hear you say it. Perfect response. Thank you!
💙🏁💙
I need to get my girl a video camera like that, whatever it may be.
Are you talking about the taller thinner camera?
@@motorman857 whatever it is you use as your videos have visual and audio clarity and she deserves a good camera for riding videos
@@thomasborger6548 I'm using 2 cameras in this video. A Gopro 11 and a Insta 360 x3. The side views are from the Insta 360 camera mounted to the crashbars with a selfie stick. I have the GoPro mounted to the chin area of my helmet with the GoPro mic adapter. The mic I'm using is called a Purple Panda which is mounted inside the chin area of the full face helmet. Here's a link showing my set up ruclips.net/video/OqaY8yAg-jk/видео.html
@@motorman857 thats exactly what I needed to know,,appreciate it.
You look well over 6 feet in that camera angle!!
Yes, I got a taller thinner camera.
@@motorman857 Ride on brother!
Always interesting videos, thank you. P.s. let's go Brandon.
The only way you'll get your money back is by NOT riding it....then why bother owning it....
When you buy the right bike and ride it you never lose . Put 180000 on 88 flstc and sold it for 2000 more than I paid for it
Ride it don’t hide it
It's a beautiful bike in Australia there around $60,000
@@davidellis4416that’s what people are asking. I didn’t pay anywhere near that for mine.
Oh don't put that inflation juju out there Jerry please 😂😂😂
HD is amazing.....but royal enfield and triumph are reliable
Harley's are most technologically backward, unreliable, overpriced pieces of crap being sold. 9 out of 10 bikes by the side of the road are Harley's. You are dreaming if you think the resale value is going to hold. They can't GIVE used Harley's away. Oh and don't forget the oil pan for under the bike. At least you wear the right gear.
I understand little Buckaroo. You've always wanted a Harley but you can't afford one, so you try to convince others that Harley's are bad and THAT'S why you don't have one. You gave yourself away when you clicked on this video. If you had no interest In H.D. you wouldn't have clicked on this video and took the time to make a dumb comment. Here's my advice. Get a job, find a co-signer, and buy the Harley you want so bad.
@@motorman857 What a great reply, thank you! I have a 2021 GoldWing Tour I paid cash for new. I clicked on the video to see if you still liked the bike. To each his own, but the facts and statistics speak for themselves regarding Harley's poor quality and low resale value. HD is desperately trying to buy back it's own stock just to stay afloat. The average age of a Harley owner is over 55 and getting older. No one is buying those lard assed baggers. But your channel is well done and you present good riding information, just so I don't sound completely negative.
@@KG-xf9ew First, H.D are still number one in resale value and Harley sells a thousand touring bikes to every Goldwing sold so to say nobody is buying them is B.S. as for reliability, I've owned 2 wings, a 2002 and a 2006. The o2 had a cracked frame and the 06 had the air bag light go and off and the dealer was never able to fix it. Think about riding along not knowing if the air bag was going to go off while riding. Right now Honda is about to recall 2018-2024 Wings due to engines seizing. I sold that 2006 bike in a year and got half what I paid for it. Prior to COVID there were 2 year old Wings sitting in dealers collecting dust. As for technologically backward, Harley is getting 100 HP out of a V-twin while Honda can only get 100 HP out of 6 cylinders. I've owned 10 Harleys since 2004 and never had a single problem with any of them. Go to any bike rally or bike night and see how many Goldwings you see compared to Harleys. H.D. is still the biggest selling heavyweight motorcycle in America and there are more Harleys on the roads of the U.S. than any other make. My point is not which bike is best because that's a personal choice. I don't say this bike or that bike is junk because there are so many great motorcycles in the market and all have their good points and not so good points. 95% of the riders who come to my class are on Harleys and they want to see the exercises demonstrated on a bike like they are riding so Harleys fit my needs. Plus I love the way they look and ride. To claim Harleys don't sell, or that they are junk and leak oil, is total B.S..
@@motorman857 I'll defer the remainder of this discussion to you, as this is your channel. Thank you for the time in your replies. Safe riding!
