You can do it bud! Keto is much easier nowadays. Back in 2008 I went from 314lbs to 225lbs (without exercise) in 9 months by limiting my carbs to 20 a day. The first 2 weeks are definitely the hardest then it's clear sailing. Also don't let people temp you! So many people will tell you your doing great you look amazing you need to treat yourself. Don't do it! For me I'm an all or nothing guy. I'm fine without the sugar but if I have one piece of cake, one chocolate bar, one donut anything like that I wont be able to stop. Woman are especially bad for tempting you. They want that fish and chips when you go to the pub but will be embarrassed to eat it while your only ordering a grilled chicken Ceasar salad (hold the croutons), so they tell you to let loose and treat yourself. The real treat is the feeling you get when the weight peels off. Hang in there bud we are all routing for you. Also one other safety tip for riding your Harley don't ride when you are emotional! If you just had a fight with your woman or are angry at that guy in the cage that cut you off you are much more likely to make a mistake or get careless. Be smart and keep your emotions in check, take 10 minutes and clear your head if you need to before you get back on the bike.
I'm 67, and I honestly can say I've never felt better. 6'2" and 185 lbs. I do the OMAD (one meal a day) and stay away from fast food and snacks. Exercise regularly and drink plenty of water and NO "energy drinks". It is very hard in the beginning to maintain this type of lifestyle because everywhere you go there is unhealthy stuff staring you in the face. But how important is it to feel not just good but great. To me it is just the only way to live. Plus you save alot of money by not impulse buying a snack at the checkout register. Anyway, I want to thank you for your content, a healthy you and a healthy bike makes for so much fun.
I’ve dropped 7kg in 6 weeks following your advice and Paul’s after watching hogs cogs episode,feeling a lot more energetic also lifting weights 4 times a week and walking 40mins most days. Love your work 👊🏼
Im a bit late in on this topic but, its SYN3 for me after a discussion with my trusted mechanic. Hey, I met Steve the other day at GHD. Great bloke with an amazing story to tell. All the best Steve and I hope you can get your bike issues sorted! Thanks for the video Aymen, still a timely reminder even today!
Hey... I saw a video of yours where you were talking to Danny Hayes. It was very good! I have been following you ever since, am subscribed, and feel you have one of the best channels online!!!! You're very intelligent, have excellent advice, and very helpful with your content!!! I've just bought my first Harley Davidson! I got a 2023 Harley Breakout!!! Awesome motorcycle!!! Keep up with your excellent channel!!! I'm living in the USA in Oregon. Just turned 69 last week too. Love Harleys!!!
This is the best and most informative post you have done.......ER.........AH ...... Mate. Being an old man myself{70s) I appreciate both the bike health and body health advice.
More good directions for the big boys like I used to be. All of this works as I went from 265 lbs at 6.2 down to 200 lbs (actuality is 198-205 lbs average) 4 yrs ago doing a lot of this type of planning. Some of us take better care of our scooters than ourselves so it's great to level up on all of it. Body fat melts away just doing what you do everyday. I actually attained 6 pack abs with mild flexing without working out by taking those layers off my whole frame. I didn't expect that but it works. Thumbs up on this good info, keep riding.
I use SYN3 in the engine an Heavy Duty Synthetic Trans & Primary fluid. Good on you for getting out there. Giving another heavy weight rider some inspiration.
I like how you compared the maintenance regime of the sled and safety protocol with maintenance of the rider. You really dropped some wisdom and it shows that you care, Amin. Good looking out brother! Shiny side up and the greasy side down brother
I heard Charles Barkley comment that his Dr told him that they're only fat young people not fat old people. That touched me cause I'm a grandpa who weighs 250lbs
Sound advice Eamon. If you grew up around old school gymnasiums, knew old school body builders and strong men in the 50's, 60's and 70's then you probably already know how all this works... Fortunately I learnt all this early in life and the "fear" of eating saturated fats i.e butter, whole eggs, steaks with fat and full fat yoghurt was never an issue... Low fat, high fibre, high fruit, high grain, low protein is a recipe for disaster. Long term this will cause weight gain, irritable bowl syndrome, wheat intolerance, allergies, inflammation of muscles, tendons and joints and eventually diabetes... The pharmaceutical industry has infiltrated all institutions including the CSIRO and universities... I hope people have been able to join the dots now, especially with the recent theatre and fear mongering of the phantom airborne boogyman.
I'm real happy for your success bro, but how about more shirts in the shop?!?!? Every single one is sold out in all the most common sizes!!!😉 Great video BTW!!! 😃
Great vid, Thank you for providing this nutrition info in such a creative and relevant fashion. Guys - just Get a little bit better everyday. You’ll be much happier and it will be longer lasting results when you ditch being “perfect”
Gday there I own a 2022 sport glide soft tail and love it, I live on the beautiful NEcoast of Tasmania with mega roads to ride 👍 I’m 52 and just been doing a program call ‘fit father project’ feel best I have in 30 years, lost 15 kg, feel strong and about to redo it again , it’s worth a look🤟🏽 thanks for your channel 😎
I wear both an open face and a full face depending on situation and mood. My full face is a Ruroc Atlas 4.0 and it's the best helmet I've ever owned. Super comfy and great bluetooth system.
Great video,as usual. I've start going to the gym on a regular basis, slowly improving my dietand slowly losing weight and feeling much better @ 72 year old. For my Road Glide I use Amsoil products.
Very happy you broached the subject of 'oil' mate. I'm new to Harleys, so when it was time for a service, I noticed Harley recommended (HD) 'mineral' oil over 'full-synthetic', so I gave them a call to understand why and they said it was because Harleys tend to burn synthetic oils a little more than mineral. They also mentioned that their oils are best for Harleys because they have HD-specific additives. I noticed the engine noise went up a bit after the oil change, but couldn't be too sure, so I'm glad you mentioned that specifically. What oils are you guys using?
Same happened to me, bike was noisy, dealer put HD mineral oil in and it runs much quieter, but takes longer to warm up and become quieter. I have read that the additives are the only differences between oils?
@@OldNotDead-Club so from your experience, the mineral works better and keeps the engine quieter then? I only use my bike and 4x4 a couple times each week (and live 2 minutes from the freeway) so summer or winter, I let my vehicles idle for 2-3 minutes to get the oil circulating and the engine temps up before I drive away.
An outstanding video with great info and a cool way presenting it - thank you ! I run premium gas and use synthetics in the 114 Stage 2 Road Glide Special but interesting to hear about sound improvement. Big fan of Motorman Palladino too ! Great work and cheers 🍻👏
I’m surprised you didn’t mention suspension when you were talking about comfort. I’m light in the seat and the stock shocks pogo me out of the seat. I switched to Legend Suspensions Revo A (2023 RKS) and it makes a huge difference in comfort and handling.
Pearls of wisdom I have taken on board Thank you for another great vid, it was tops. I’m gluten free but I can’t imagine life without rice & potatoes😉 Every best wish for your weight loss journey Steve👌 🙂🌸
Ditching rice and potatoes has been easier than what i thought. Pasta is gone too. Any soft drinks ( soda's) are gone and i don't miss them. Beef jerky is a great snack. Lots of water and black coffee. Still cant get rid of the 1 sugar in coffee so i have reduced coffee.
@@OldNotDead-Club Keto has the answers for so many health issues that a lot of people dismiss. I’m petite and need to keep weight on😊 Excellent advice on keeping our bikes in check along with our health. 👌💕🌸
The open face vs full face helmet, I find the open face feels great and non restrictive however I was riding down Mount Kembla and I was wearing a full face helmet and a chunk of wood from a tree the size of a coke can hit me directly on the visor and apart from scaring the crap out of me I came out clean, that has reaffirmed me why I only will wear full face 👍 but each to their own
Good video, Mate don't bother with the harley oils , Run the Torco range of V twin oils for engine, box and primary. These are separate weights and grades not just the one oil like the dealer use. Also a bit of Lucus oil additive is great, you will notice a big difference within half hour of riding.
Synth because it maintains its viscosity longer and I'm too lazy to change it every couple of months. I use 93 octane in a 107 w/ Stage 1, because if I don't and I nail the throttle the engine knocks. I find that on most motorcycle engines, despite claims of running on lower grades of fuel. They'll all run fine on cheap gas if you don't gun the engine, particularly at lower rpm. As I recall, my Thruxton is supposed to run on regular, but it behaves just like the HD under a shock load. I do find twins are more apt to have a single loud metallic ping which gets the operator to get off the gas. Multicylinder bikes tend to sound more like a someone dropped a box of bee bees in the engine. Not as startling, but not great for the engine either. I think it's the amount of carbs that cause westerners problems. Itchy Boots is touring Africa and bread is a staple of their diet. They're all rail thin too.
I can't remember unfortunately because the clip was filmed a while back. BUT i purchased my service manual online as a pdf for something trivial like $20 and I just print the pages that i need at the time. Google is your friend.
Great information. Burning fat so you're not a hog riding a hog. I did some independent research concerning M8 oil. The best was Amsoil, not readily available iny neck of the woods. I ues Mobil 1 full synthetic #2 on the list. Castrol was #3 and Syn-3 #4. I haven't heard of mineral oil tho. Interesting. Anyway I'm up to 15 pushups a day. Thnx for your help. Healthy Harley + healthy rider = fun, fun, fun!
i was vegan/ fruitarian for 16 years. the first year i lost 100 lbs went from 266 to 167 and stayed there for 15 years, over the last year, year and a half since ive been taking care of my mom and cooking for her ive strayed and look and feel like shit. im up to 175 and am carrying fat in my mid section, have headaches cant sleep,ect. recently ive just re committed trying not to die. i had three massive heart attacks on a " keto" diet and thats why i went vegan. i looked great on a keto diet but my vascular system was 100% occluded thats why all the heart attacks.
@OldNotDead-Club agree your blood type can help dictate whats right for you. for example if your o you hit the lottery and can get away with a lot more. if you A you can't
2 years ago I turned 60.... and had let myself go over the last 20 years or so.... had typical metabolic syndrome.... read up a bit on it.... I came to the realisation that only one person was going to look out for 70yo Noel.... and that person was 60yo Noel.... so I took ownership of what the rest of my life could be. So now.... blood pressure down, waist measurement 9" less, blood work good... 15kg lighter... 40 push ups is nothing...haha! Only one issue.... I ride a couple of BMW's.....
Penrite ten tenths racing oil 15w-50 in my 107 m8, or for the budget conscious penrite hpr 20w-50 diesel oil just doesnt have the j motorcycle rating for wet clutches nor does the ten tenths. Penrite 80w 140 in the cog box. I'm predantic so change engine oil every 4000km gbox and primary every 8000km. I also used the ten tenths oils in my street vrod for 5yrs without any clutch issues.
Dont really know my Harley yet. Heading out on 2 week tour following the sun in the northern US. IT does have original dunlops. I was always a metzler guy. Hope the tires work out. Re diet i am a vegan. 20 years now. Hold on hold on, I don’t preach it i just live it. I don’t care what anyone else eats. However, veganism is not a weight loss diet. My wife and i do intermittent fasting for mind and body. Dont preach it just live it.. i do weight training 3 days a week and row 3 days between weight days. I stray. Anyway i try to be active as possible. Old and not perfect As per my bike this trip will tell the tale. I’ve added hwy pegs. I ride with full face helmet. No health problems no weight problems just old man body issues😂. Grind until you cant.
me ? hamburger once a month, might be twice, No cheese, no tomato, no sauce ! Been keeto for 50+ yrs, i got my old saddle out today, now find a horse to go underneath it ! Might even get a bike licence and buy another bike. stupid i know, but i had a truck licence and jocky licence, ( No Licence to ride mules) i like your advice and we may be of similar age ! Thanks you blokes anyway.
Carnivore diet? Keto diet... What about beer? Life without beer? Ugh. Motorcycle Drop Guards --> Slow Speed Maneuver Practice. Cornering/curves... Additional tips... Look through the turn... Where you want to go... Because the bike is going to go where you are looking. If you look where you don't want to go, you are going to go where you don't want to go. Take it easy on blind curves - leave plenty of margin. Don't try to be a knee dragging Joe Rocket on every curve you see. Seats... Old man bones... One of the most important upgrades. I'm a big fan of Russell Day Long seats. Riding cold is not good. But you can ride in the cold/winter (I do it every year). Heated gear works great. Warm & Safe is a good place to look. Summer heat... Have to agree... T-shirt (w/arm sleeves for sunscreen) in the summer. Not ideal. But it is what it is. Also wear a half helmet. Also not the greatest. But, can't get around the wind buffeting issue with full-face helmet and windscreen.
Full face and beanie I’m still going back and forth after 15 years. Pro s and cons weather time of year Bluetooth need full face I think is the most handy but gets old and hot but nice when cold lol. To be cont….
Tell the young man to cut out ALL SUGAR, all heavily processed junk, get his fasted insulin level, and monitor his glucose levels regularly. If he brings down the fat storage hormone insulin the weight will come off quickly. He should eat lots of protein and good fat like grass fed butter, avocados premium grade olive oil lots of fatty meat like ribeye. And by all means stop cooking with seed oils.
I would strongly advise you consult with your local healthcare professional; doctor, pharmacist, dietician before radically changing your diet as a weight loss strategy. Exercise is a good addition to weight loss strategy, and an increase in general fitness and well being.
It pays to be health conscious from as early an age as you can. Don't wait until you are overweight, have high cholesterol and blood pressure or whatever before you do anything to start living a healthy lifestyle. It's common sense and doesn't take a lot of effort.
We are trained to eat 3 times a day from Youth.Nearly 6 Decades later I eat once a day around 6 PM and not a big lot and doesnt matter what I eat as long as it is enough to survive and 30 push ups a day to keep body tone.Have You seen those Fat people at the shopping center at those sit down cafe or food area?Eat what You want but not much Simple.
There are low carb breads off the shelf that are OK, goes good with a steak sandwich or burger and easier than going cold turkey on carbs. I guess it is like a nicotine patch for a smoker trying to quit.
One more point. Your doctor (big pharma sales rep) will probably go crook and tell you eating like that will kill you. You have to make the choice to be responsible for your own health, do your own research. Also, I was addicted to Coca Cola. Tried and could never ditch it. I found switching to that cheap Q cola brand allowed me to get off it. Still have too many setbacks with the carnivore, mostly cause family aren't doing it, but when following it can see the positive benefits 100%. Even sleep better. Wake earlier. Feel better mentally.
Go Keto! Lost 40 pounds and cleared up 20 other problems that I thought were due to aging. Drawback - it's much harder to push a 675 pound bike having gone from 200 to 160.
How to keep your Harley alive hmm park it in your garage or on your lawn lol. That’s what many do cause they are to focused on their trade in value vs actually riding.
A couple of years ago I went vegan in an attempt to improve my health. That was a serious mistake. For the last 6 weeks I have been pure carnivore. I’m down 17 pounds! My blood pressure is so low that I’m off my meds for the first time in 20 years. Screw carbs! Tell your friend to try pure meat for a month. He won’t be craving carbs after that. In fact I rarely get hungry and I eat one meal a day. And honey is NOT an animal product. It’s pure sugar. Every measure of my health is the best it has ever been! I’m sticking with it until I reach my weight from 50 years ago. Then I’ll introduce low carb plants.

I think it's the amount of carbs that cause westerners problems. Itchy Boots is touring Africa and bread is a staple of their diet. They're all rail thin too.
Thanks - the oil question is a tricky one. The bread in Africa might be due to poverty?
I use royal purple or Lucas. They work and never had a problem with them.
Thanks
Good luck with the diet Steve 😎👍🏼
Thanks. Its going good so far. Some minor setbacks but back on track now.
Do you have a link for the service manuals? Was that from the H-D website?
I can't remember unfortunately because the clip was filmed a while back. BUT i purchased my service manual online as a pdf for something trivial like $20 and I just print the pages that i need at the time. Google is your friend.
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the channel
Thanks, much appreciated
Great information. Burning fat so you're not a hog riding a hog. I did some independent research concerning M8 oil. The best was Amsoil, not readily available iny neck of the woods. I ues Mobil 1 full synthetic #2 on the list. Castrol was #3 and Syn-3 #4. I haven't heard of mineral oil tho. Interesting. Anyway I'm up to 15 pushups a day. Thnx for your help. Healthy Harley + healthy rider = fun, fun, fun!
Thanks for watching
i was vegan/ fruitarian for 16 years. the first year i lost 100 lbs went from 266 to 167 and stayed there for 15 years, over the last year, year and a half since ive been taking care of my mom and cooking for her ive strayed and look and feel like shit. im up to 175 and am carrying fat in my mid section, have headaches cant sleep,ect. recently ive just re committed trying not to die.
i had three massive heart attacks on a " keto" diet and thats why i went vegan. i looked great on a keto diet but my vascular system was 100% occluded thats why all the heart attacks.
Thanks its a complex subject and there no simple solution to suit everyone
@OldNotDead-Club agree your blood type can help dictate whats right for you. for example if your o you hit the lottery and can get away with a lot more. if you A you can't
I use Redline synthetic oil. I use it because I heard it was decent. My helmet has horns on it. My other helmet is a boonie hat.
lol, it looks good in your avatar photo
2 years ago I turned 60.... and had let myself go over the last 20 years or so.... had typical metabolic syndrome.... read up a bit on it.... I came to the realisation that only one person was going to look out for 70yo Noel.... and that person was 60yo Noel.... so I took ownership of what the rest of my life could be. So now.... blood pressure down, waist measurement 9" less, blood work good... 15kg lighter... 40 push ups is nothing...haha! Only one issue.... I ride a couple of BMW's.....
Well done and very funny about the beemers. I think any bike is a good bike
AMS oil full synthetic in all 3. Fatboy LO 2016.
Thanks
Penrite ten tenths racing oil 15w-50 in my 107 m8, or for the budget conscious penrite hpr 20w-50 diesel oil just doesnt have the j motorcycle rating for wet clutches nor does the ten tenths. Penrite 80w 140 in the cog box. I'm predantic so change engine oil every 4000km gbox and primary every 8000km. I also used the ten tenths oils in my street vrod for 5yrs without any clutch issues.
Thanks, many people do change the oil every 4k including me
Dont really know my Harley yet. Heading out on 2 week tour following the sun in the northern US. IT does have original dunlops. I was always a metzler guy. Hope the tires work out. Re diet i am a vegan. 20 years now. Hold on hold on, I don’t preach it i just live it. I don’t care what anyone else eats. However, veganism is not a weight loss diet. My wife and i do intermittent fasting for mind and body. Dont preach it just live it.. i do weight training 3 days a week and row 3 days between weight days. I stray. Anyway i try to be active as possible. Old and not perfect
As per my bike this trip will tell the tale. I’ve added hwy pegs. I ride with full face helmet.
No health problems no weight problems just old man body issues😂. Grind until you cant.
Thanks and enjoy your trip. Im running Metzlers and they are excellent
me ?

No cheese, no tomato, no sauce !

Carnivore diet?
Keto diet... What about beer? Life without beer? Ugh.
Motorcycle Drop Guards --> Slow Speed Maneuver Practice.
Cornering/curves... Additional tips... Look through the turn... Where you want to go... Because the bike is going to go where you are looking. If you look where you don't want to go, you are going to go where you don't want to go. Take it easy on blind curves - leave plenty of margin. Don't try to be a knee dragging Joe Rocket on every curve you see.
Seats... Old man bones... One of the most important upgrades. I'm a big fan of Russell Day Long seats.
Riding cold is not good. But you can ride in the cold/winter (I do it every year). Heated gear works great. Warm & Safe is a good place to look.
Summer heat... Have to agree... T-shirt (w/arm sleeves for sunscreen) in the summer. Not ideal. But it is what it is. Also wear a half helmet. Also not the greatest. But, can't get around the wind buffeting issue with full-face helmet and windscreen.
Thanks some great points. Beer is a problem I only drink a minimal amount in the heat of summer. I think its estrogen enhancing
How is he going with his weight loss/health improvement
Full face and beanie I’m still going back and forth after 15 years. Pro s and cons weather time of year Bluetooth need full face I think is the most handy but gets old and hot but nice when cold lol. To be cont….
I hear you - use a full face in the heart of winter
Thanks
Thank you - hope you like it
Tell the young man to cut out ALL SUGAR, all heavily processed junk, get his fasted insulin level, and monitor his glucose levels regularly. If he brings down the fat storage hormone insulin the weight will come off quickly. He should eat lots of protein and good fat like grass fed butter, avocados premium grade olive oil lots of fatty meat like ribeye. And by all means stop cooking with seed oils.
Thanks
I would strongly advise you consult with your local healthcare professional; doctor, pharmacist, dietician before radically changing your diet as a weight loss strategy. Exercise is a good addition to weight loss strategy, and an increase in general fitness and well being.
Helmets are like condoms. You know you should wear one but it feels SO much better when you don't. 😉🤣
lol, best comment this week!
100% it works
Thanks Paul hope you are going strong!
Corners, you need to bisect a corner and plan your line.
thank you - spot on
mate your Albino Drummer has given me nightmares , Thanks
She's creepy isn't she!
It pays to be health conscious from as early an age as you can. Don't wait until you are overweight, have high cholesterol and blood pressure or whatever before you do anything to start living a healthy lifestyle.
It's common sense and doesn't take a lot of effort.
spot on!
We are trained to eat 3 times a day from Youth.Nearly 6 Decades later I eat once a day around 6 PM and not a big lot and doesnt matter what I eat as long as it is enough to survive and 30 push ups a day to keep body tone.Have You seen those Fat people at the shopping center at those sit down cafe or food area?Eat what You want but not much Simple.
Way to go, thanks for watching
Time restricted eating is a helpful stratergy.
There are low carb breads off the shelf that are OK, goes good with a steak sandwich or burger and easier than going cold turkey on carbs. I guess it is like a nicotine patch for a smoker trying to quit.
Thanks
One more point. Your doctor (big pharma sales rep) will probably go crook and tell you eating like that will kill you. You have to make the choice to be responsible for your own health, do your own research. Also, I was addicted to Coca Cola. Tried and could never ditch it. I found switching to that cheap Q cola brand allowed me to get off it. Still have too many setbacks with the carnivore, mostly cause family aren't doing it, but when following it can see the positive benefits 100%. Even sleep better. Wake earlier. Feel better mentally.
Spot on thanks
Go Keto! Lost 40 pounds and cleared up 20 other problems that I thought were due to aging. Drawback - it's much harder to push a 675 pound bike having gone from 200 to 160.
lol you have to lift some weights. Spot on about Keto - amazing isnt it
Brad Penn One, 50 w
Thank you
👍👍
Thanks
How to keep your Harley alive hmm park it in your garage or on your lawn lol. That’s what many do cause they are to focused on their trade in value vs actually riding.
Yes that happens too
just skip breakfast,. 😅😅😅
Thanks that works too - I had to cut the intermittent fasting out of the video as its went too long
My fullface helmet saved my teeth and nose. I would still be a wreck without it.
A couple of years ago I went vegan in an attempt to improve my health. That was a serious mistake. For the last 6 weeks I have been pure carnivore. I’m down 17 pounds! My blood pressure is so low that I’m off my meds for the first time in 20 years. Screw carbs! Tell your friend to try pure meat for a month. He won’t be craving carbs after that. In fact I rarely get hungry and I eat one meal a day. And honey is NOT an animal product. It’s pure sugar.
Every measure of my health is the best it has ever been! I’m sticking with it until I reach my weight from 50 years ago. Then I’ll introduce low carb plants.
Thanks, exactly what I told him, had to cut the video down to viewable length
Amsoil
Obviously you have never been in a serious motorcycle accident if you're riding around in a T shirt and no decent jacket
