Are yall coming to San Diego Bike Week? Idk if everyone has heard about it yet, but we recently got it approved (I work at San Diego Harley Davidson) for either the last, or the 3rd, week of September (i forget which off the top of my head and today is my day off). The U.S. Navy is even bringing 2 aircraft carriers down to fly the Blue Angels overhead! Should be pretty heckin' SICK brotherboy 🤙
Josh and Josh are building my 2019 FTR for the track. Such an incredible team at 210 Speedlabs. Hit them up for any Indian or Victory upgrades and tuning!!
I wish the radio was an option. I never listen to music when I ride. Also would rather just have analog gauges personally. I do love the white especially with the chrome.
I had a BLAST the last time I was at Kennedy SC...just a few years ago. I think it was 1982. Loved seeing the Saturn V and the new fangled space shuttle.
Haha love Ryan’s cameo to funny I would trust the service Manuel on break in. Really HD couldn’t afford a metal filler plug cap for your tans dipstick lol Good luck with the bike love the pipes
@@BlockheadMoto I hope you can find one they told me they were on back order till Sept. Luckly a friend of mine ordered an aftermarket for his so he gave me his stock one.
Love this channel.. I wish I had a Harley.. I wish I had a Harley.. I wish I had a Harley, (clicking heels together, running to look in the driveway, ) ........... no Harley.. I love the fact that Amanda is with you now, youdeserve to be happy and you guys are really good together.. Chris did a great job with that insert, man deserves an Oscar.. 😊 Keep twisting those wrists..
This is how that son.of a biscuit (kruesi) announces the bike that he got. Lol. I just got a job at the bar next to his shop so hopefully i will see glimpses of whats going on before most lol.
Is it worth it to drop the bones on a new bike? Been looking to get one for a hot minute. Used to run a VTX 1800 till a friend laid it down and totalled it.
it doesn't take a 1000 miles to brake in an engine, it only takes about 50 miles to seat the rings, and that's it your done. I have built all types of engines and race for over 20 years.
It actually takes 500-600. Im sure the manufacturer and engineer who designed and made this particular bike knows more then you. No bike break in is 50 miles, you must be smoking something good. Your engine probably ticks like a b. Some people are just impatient and try to justify their stupid actions. Its not just about the rings but so that everything goes together smoothly, gears etc. you probably have had to tale your bike to get “warranty” work a BUNCH of times. 🤡🤣
@@BlancoFlaco im sure all the teeth on the gears inside the tranny are working great! Im sure the clutch is working great! Just because your rubber orings are ready, doesnt mean the rest of the internals are. Cool story!
curious what Chris thinks about what Harley says as far as the break in procedure recommendations. Dealer told me no same speed riding, no cruise control for the first 300 miles. The manual says 500. Would love to see a video of Chris talking about this and maybe even doing a little breakdown of your motor to see what if any good or bad things he finds.
when I bought my 2021 Street Bob, I was told the same thing, but I also bought it from a dealership about 2 hours away from where I lived because a friend worked there and hooked me up. I told them during the sale that I was going to be driving it down the highway for 2 hours, and they said as long as I don't get it consistently above 3000rpms it should be fine.
Honda makes great bikes. So does Yamaha. Most of their bikes aren’t really cornering the same market as Harley though. I guess maybe the goldwing, but that thing has a terminal case of the ugly.
What is it with the White Road Glides. Is it the new Harley "Black" LOL You, Amanda, Jess and BoDean52 all rocking a White RG Oh my. Be safe, have fun.
Buc-ees!!! Oh yeah. How do you like the nav on the bike? Just picked my 24 up and looking to get it since i have a android phone. Kick ass vid, and tossed 405 miles on my 2nd day. These bikes are wicked!!
Ugh... I'm new to riding and bought a 2024 streetglide. Lol sure big bike. But I didn't want to eventually purchase the bike I wanted. But Holy hell I'm too short. Waiting on lowering blocks. May go airride. I'm nervous as fuck on it.
OK, I gotta ask, When I was shopping my poor butt for a bagger putt, I watched a lot of Indian vids, too. It's where I first saw Amanda. Is she still associated with Lloyd's and the Wisconsin dealer? Just curious, I almost went for a Cheiftan and was leaning towards a Challenger, but ultimately bought a slightly used '22 Street Glide Special for REAL decent price. I still like the Indians, but love my Harleys.
I'll never go to Bucees because they don't let trucks on property and hate truck drivers. I'm a truck driver and won't support them when we keep America moving. If they change their policy I'll consider changing mine, maybe.
Yeah I hate Buckee's .I'm an over the road driver and THEY hate 18 wheelers.. We are not allowed to go on their property and they'll call the cops ... No 18 wheelers signs at every driveway . Forget them
Hi, I see Amanda is riding an Indian Chieftain, How do You like it and does it give off too much heat? I'm also not too keen on the fact that it has rear cylinder deactivation can that be turned off? Thank You, enjoy
When are you gonna bring us your trip over to Europe for the new Indian Scout presentation... and don't forget to include Europe's best motovlogger Deimante when you do?
I just bought a 23 RG fast johnnie 175 miles and blew the motor already wasn’t even hard on it just cruising around it’s under warranty guess it’s getting rebuilt sometime this week I hope
Shoot, y'all are livin' my dream of cross country riding. Stoked to see the big ol road glide get some good miles, and I'm looking forward to what's coming with the bike! One of these days, I'll get my own bagger 😆
@@BlockheadMoto Cool. Thanks. I just got a GoPro 10, helmet, along with the accessories you recommended for the Motovlog Helmet and I'm taking the MSF course here next month. ;)
Pretty narrow-minded thinking a bike is inherently a girl-bike. Ride whatever you want to ride, stop trying to put things in boxes. Stop worrying about what other people may think.
New Harleys really look terrible and have NO Harley sound. I'll keep my Evo and Shovelhead bikes. Real Harleys and totally reliable, even the 1979 AMF never gives me a problem
Any professional engine builder will tell you the break in is complete within the first 50-100 miles depending on the builder. The only thing you're really "breaking in" is marrying the pistons rings to the cylinder. I dont think I'd ever want to run the original oil for 1000 miles. I trust people who build engines for a living more than i trust a manufacturer that has a vested interest in fixing and making money in the future on repairs of what they're selling you. Just my take🤷♂️
Ever heard of esp. it usually cost 50 dollars to have EVERYTHING done to the bike if something was to break. I think i trust the people who designed it and not some dude who built carbed bikes back in the 80’s. Manufactures and engineers know more, why would they want to replace something for FREE under warranty? Why would they want to LOSE money? You literally are just trying to justify your poor patience and impulse control. Im sorry your engine ticks 🤣
Fyi have you ever seen metal shavings while doing an oil change? Thats why you WAIT and take it easy. Other then that the piston rings is true! You still have to break in the rest of the engine/drivetrain, clutch and everything. If he was any professional he would have a job working for one of the manufactures, probably would be a supervisor id he was so great. But no he’s rebuilding the local neighborhood engines, at LOW wages for a reason. Probably out of a shed. He doesnt know what he is talking about, thats why hes a small town unCERITFIED mechanic.
@skylerbentley8713 my engine is perfectly fine. I work on, maintain and know my engine inside and out. You think warranties are there to help you...now that's hilarious lol. Engineers get things to work for the cheapest they can...pushed by the manufacturers who limit their budget on how they can design something lol. So yeah...I trust someone who builds engines professionally more than a manufacturer who has a vested interest in getting you back in the door to have shit fixed once it fails lol
@@PitbullSoco no warranty prevent lemons ya goofball. If they was doing it to try and make more money/hinder the rider. They wouldnt even offer a warranty. Or they would tell ya your engine is fine to trash at 50 miles break in. Make what your saying make any sense, use your noggin. They dont want to replace something for free, so yea it is there for YOU THE RIDER. My grandpaw had his engine blow on his ram, got it replaced for free, not once but twice. Shows how much you know.
@@PitbullSoco if he was a professional, he would have a job somewhere in the feild, making 150k a year like the engineers and not some backyard shed working on the local neighborhood bikes. The guy your referring to isnt a professional lol, just because he rebuilds carbed bikes from the 80’s

Fuc*in love Kruesi ✌️ I think this collab will be dope!
Big announcement incoming! 🤘🏼
It definitely is 🤘🏼🤘🏼
3:51 you two are inspiring!!! Blockhead!!! Please come to Portland Oregon for a ride!!!! Army!!!
Boy, new bike means a lot of work. Work, work, work. Looks rough, but someone has to do it ;)
Lol, I guess we'll do it 😅
There ain't no Bucky in California😮 But there's a Ryan Kruesi in Florida?
Yessirrrrrr 🤘🏼
I hope you and Kruesi do a build off, that would be so sick
riding across the bridge around the 3 min mark was a vibe with the music
I wish the radio was an option. I never listen to music when I ride. Also would rather just have analog gauges personally. I do love the white especially with the chrome.
Electra Glide standard, or i bought the police model. No radio and analog gages.
I had a BLAST the last time I was at Kennedy SC...just a few years ago. I think it was 1982. Loved seeing the Saturn V and the new fangled space shuttle.
Hell yeah, haha
Did her chieftain come like that from the factory or is that custom paint ? Looks cool !
Custom paint and fairing set 👍🏼
Haha love Ryan’s cameo to funny I would trust the service Manuel on break in. Really HD couldn’t afford a metal filler plug cap for your tans dipstick lol Good luck with the bike love the pipes
6:19 *nice* 😎
Love the Kruesi campeo hahaha
Block I did the same to mine snapped the top right off. Was you able to get a replacement. All the dealerships had them on Back order till September
Haven’t checked for replacements yet!
@@BlockheadMoto I hope you can find one they told me they were on back order till Sept. Luckly a friend of mine ordered an aftermarket for his so he gave me his stock one.
I did the same thing. Dealer didn't have them. Found out that the older style metal ones work just fine but little more expensive.

Wife is obsessed with Buc-ee’s
They are supposed to build a Buckee’s a few (okay 25) miles from me soon!
Can we get a vid on the sporty. new bikes are cool and all bust custom is better.

Did you go on the ride where you have to stand in the squares at nasa 👀
We did not 😂 no unnecessary square standing and yelling at children, lol
@@BlockheadMoto a hall of fame moment from Eric 😂
Great content buckeys is a awsome place to stop an eat their breakfast burritos are awsome
We have a 100° heat index in West Virginia this week
Rough!
Love me some Buckies.🎅🏼🏍🇺🇸
The ending!🔥blockhead build off🤔
Gristle is nasty.
Agree! 🤢
I love buc-ee’s can’t wait for the one in Wisconsin to be done
Blockhead looks like you've been hitting the gym lately
Love fest , thought this was a motorcycle channel, someone told me that.
I Can’t wait AZ is getting a buckys
I dislike Buckees for not sponsoring an episode yet. 😅
Dear Bucees, lol
I go for the brisket!
Always a good choice! 🍴
Buc-ees is awesome…why because it’s Texas!
Buckee's is cool
I love bucces
XD
I think I missed it but what’s she driving
Indian Chieftain! 👍
Is that good for the heart ???
Sorry mf u came to NC and didn't stop in!!!!!

Ever done your first oil change and seen metal shavings? Thats why you do a proper break in and take it slow until your first service at 1000
Wrong my engine was broken in on the dyno have never looked back
@@BlancoFlaco im sure all the teeth on the gears inside the tranny are working great! Im sure the clutch is working great! Just because your rubber orings are ready, doesnt mean the rest of the internals are. Cool story!
@@BlancoFlaco kind of hard to break something in without any load 🤡
Did you two meet on eHarmony? This channel is sooooo vanilla, uggg
Farmers Only.
Buckees is hard core anti truck, their brisket is nasty (too fatty and sauce is too sweet), they will never see another cent from me.
First! 🤘🏻

Let’s goooooooooooo
My brand new Honda is running great
Honda makes great bikes. So does Yamaha. Most of their bikes aren’t really cornering the same market as Harley though. I guess maybe the goldwing, but that thing has a terminal case of the ugly.
Makes me wonder.... Which would the HOG embrace first, rocket engines or full liquid cooling???
Prob rocket engines, lol
As an aerospace engineer I would say no but as a bike enthusiasts who works on his own, I would say why not.
That's 👏 what 👏 I'm 👏 talkin' 👏 bout! 👏
They was made with metal and Iron I cant Beleave the plastic they have in them . Its like they have Hasbro Desiners !
Lmao Ryan's like whoa whoa 😂
Trust me, your gonna need an Amp. Don't know what or how Harley did it, but anything over 55MPH you can't hear anything. my 21RGS was fine.
I love that paint scheme on the Indian.
Seemed like a fun trip to break in a motorcycle. 😆
Seemed like a good excuse to ride 1,000 miles, haha
Hahaha! Fair point!
Chris sick wideglide in a commercial break?
What is it with the White Road Glides. Is it the new Harley "Black" LOL You, Amanda, Jess and BoDean52 all rocking a White RG Oh my. Be safe, have fun.
Thrashin said in their road glide video that to have a bike in black it cost 600 dollars, they want all their new bikes to be coloured 🤣🤦🏼♂️
Buc-ees!!! Oh yeah.
How do you like the nav on the bike? Just picked my 24 up and looking to get it since i have a android phone.
Kick ass vid, and tossed 405 miles on my 2nd day. These bikes are wicked!!
The nav is awesome, highly recommend! Great to leave the phone in the cubby, haha
I can’t wait to get mine
I watched it twice. What broke?
Gear oil filler plug. It's plastic now...I guess so you don't strip the threads, but still.
Ugh... I'm new to riding and bought a 2024 streetglide. Lol sure big bike. But I didn't want to eventually purchase the bike I wanted. But Holy hell I'm too short. Waiting on lowering blocks. May go airride. I'm nervous as fuck on it.
How is the 131 BBK? I am thinking about getting the 131 with the 605 cams in my sport chief and I am curious about reliability and future maintenance.
OK, I gotta ask,
When I was shopping my poor butt for a bagger putt, I watched a lot of Indian vids, too. It's where I first saw Amanda. Is she still associated with Lloyd's and the Wisconsin dealer?

Bucky's is the 💩, where else can you get gas,food,clothes and a fire pit in one stop
You’re not wrong!
Man I go 2 kms down the road and eat in the gutter because that just how it is on the bike brother
Hi, I see Amanda is riding an Indian Chieftain, How do You like it and does it give off too much heat? I'm also not too keen on the fact that it has rear cylinder deactivation can that be turned off? Thank You, enjoy
Bucees is mid af. Not a great selection at all. Wawa is better. Also the brisket is too fatty
Do you guys sell the S&S oil change kits?
Sure!
You sure it wasn't broken from the factory?
Buckees is wacccckkkk
Man wish I had seen ya!! I work across the street at BlueOrigin. The space center is very cool!
Y’all do any tours? lol
@@BlockheadMoto no not really but the lobby I believe is open to the public. But they are super keep stuff private.
@@Mbm-billiards Tell them we're looking to do a rocket engine swap on a new 24' Road Glide, lol
What harley doesn't have service plan on new bikes where they do first 3 services
You do your own service when you own a motorcycle shop that specializes in building Harley-Davidsons 😅
I love love love Amanda’s Indian! Owning a house 🏡 keeps me broke but some day I hope!
Can you buy the S&S oils locally? Like a regular auto parts store?
Not usually, we keep it in stock at our shop though if you're local and want to swing by 👍
