- 2020 Jaguar F Pace SVR - 2020 Harley Davidsnon Limited CVO
I’m a huge fan of 2 Wheels. I’ve had several dirt bikes growing up. Then had 4 Jap bikes before going with Harley Davidsons. I have 2004 Custom Fatboy with 18” Apes and a bad ass 30” Iron Cross sissy bar done up with a 96” stage 3 set up, 2020 CVO Limted Electraglide with a 117” Milwaukee 8 engine with 10 grand of mods to it (baddest bike) and sadly just gave my 2003 Ultra Classic Electraglide to one of my best friends.
I absolutely LOVE RIDING MY BIKES. I bought my wife a RM-80 when we were dating. Then bought her a 2000 Harley Softail in 2010. So we both have a Passion for riding.
She broke her Femur in 2017 and has 2’ rod that was drilled through and slid in the middle of her Femur. So she’s been riding BITCH now. I had a serious on the job accident myself, and hadn’t ridden since a COLD ? FINGERS RUN on New Years Day 2013. Just bought me the CVO in April and started riding this past season. 7+ year absence. Shit I’m a bit busted up but Dang it’s Awesome being on the road again.
We met in 1990 when I bought a Honda Intercepter 750 and needed a haircut. So I went in to a hair salon and she cut my hair, and I asked her if she wanted to go for a ride. That’s all it took and the rest is History.
Well anyway we watched a series with 2 seasons, back in the day called “Long Way Around” and “Long Way Down”. It’s a as bout Ewan Mc Gregor who with his buddy ride around the world on Enduros in Long Way Round.
In the Long way Down they ride their bikes from Scotland to the bottom of South Africa.
Well we just watched the first Episode of their 3rd Season, after 12 years hiatus called Long Way Up. They are riding Electric Harleys from the bottom of South America. Actually the southern tip of Argentina, up to California. On ELECTRIC HARLEYS. How the heck are they going to do it on 100 mile charge before charging it up again. This is real and is like a documentary.
Harley Davidson converted their Electric Street bikes to an Enduro style bike. They plan this trip with a crew for 3 months before a 3 month epic journey.
Never in my wildest dreams would I think I’d ever want an Electric motorcycle I actually want to get one seeing this freakin thing. Will I ride it much, Who knows. My boys would definitely be laughing up a storm if I went to the Biker joints we chill at with a Electric Harley that looks more like a Croch Rocket. But I pitty the fool who messes with me.
My 2020 Limited CVO was expensive but it is the sickest ride. Put a pair of 12” mini apes on it. Wish I would behave went 14”.
These series start off a bit slow before they start their journey. But it’s really cool. I loved Long Way Down. They rode past Pyramids through the jungles where there wasn’t any roads. Hung with Lions and gorillas and other crazy animals sleeping in tents in the jungles. It was sick. I haven’t watched the first 2 series in over a decade.
We watched only 1 episode of the Long Way Up tonight. It’s on Apple TV. We got a free yr subscription from our purchase of a new IPhone at the beginning of the yr. But we have Fire Sticks that’s hooked up so that we get all movies and tv shows
Now thought I’d share with my review of this really cool real life adventure.
So I also thought it would be a great thread to see all you sick F—ks with your Bikes and maybe your Old Lady’s. I’d love to hear some bike stories. Any of you who aren’t into it don’t read or follow this thread. If I have to explain it “You would never understand the life style”
