    Im surprised they didn't do more practice/testing on S curves with the cones and controlling speed. That surely wasn't the whole course. Did she already have a motorcycle endorsement or was this course her first test.

      @motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave Місяць тому

      The road I drove didn’t have as obvious chicken houses as I see any time I drive towards the beach through Delaware. I saw in Indiana corn and soybeans along with some trees. If i missed them I’m sorry, they could have been along another road or set of roads.

    Great content love your channel. I just recently purchased a 2023 Triglide new and definitely a learning curve compared to being on a two wheel. Have you done an audio update on your stereo and if you have what did you do to it? What was the cost to do your suspensionback when you did it again thank you love your channel

    • @motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave
      @motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave Місяць тому

      While costs are hard to talk about as there are all sorts of factors involved. Same shop and time frame would help. I did the shocks while they were already deep into the bike for the 50K service all they had to do was install the new instead of the old. As for my sound system it’s stock. I use my headset mostly. I did install the whim but at times I don’t think it’s needed for what I do. Thanks for watching and have a great ride!

    • @timbarnett3898
      @timbarnett3898 Місяць тому

      I knew it was time lapse but I enjoyed the ride. Can I tell you about a remarkable ride happened way back in 2009. I've got Hoods Canal on my left, going East along South shore to jr hideaway in belfair. An eagle glides up to 3" of my left hand an handlebar. Eagle isn't flapping his wings, just windsurfing off my detachable windshield. I start timing him on my formation handlebar clock. Ten seconds, fifteen, 30 seconds anges still surfing. A full minute goes by an he's still there, another minute, then another minute. Until just under 4 minutes an service truck comes at US. Eagle has to bail or be grill bait. Eagle flies between my windshield an my helmet, brushing top with his right wing. Entire time his mate was flying 1"-2" from his left wing tip. I got to ride with pair eagles until traffic broke us up. Story goes on but this was first encounter. Thunder Press Magazine printed story in Sept an Oct of 09" issues.

    • @motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave

    • @timbarnett3898
      @timbarnett3898 Місяць тому

      Were's rest of the eagle story windsurfing off my left handlebar. I was wondering if they knew me? There was an eagle's tree next to driveway of 40acre horse ranch on San Juan Island Washington State I worked. Being around them almost everyday, eagles started eating lunch with me under they're tree. Fred was always on my left side but Wilma hop on my lap bend down rub her beck and face against my face giving me affection. Oh, I named them Fred an Wilma. Oh look Fred, how beautiful Wilma can fly! I wish I could fly! Or look Wilma, Fred flying home, an look, Fred has treats! So, when this pair is windsurfing off my windshield on Hoods Canal, I'm thinking is this Fred? Is this Wilma off his left wing tip? Dept. of wildlife said, this area is well within they're capability! Interesting! Very interesting Watson!

    I can tell you this much, if y’all keep pushing this “you must stop for a helmet down” etc. you’re gonna attract the wrong crowd, to start doing it for nefarious reasons. I will stop helmet down or not usually, but some people shouldn’t. Unless you’re absofuckinglutely confident you can defend yourself against an ambush.

    I've got 3-4 hundred K miles (not sure; I can document at least 300K and have many undocumented), and one thing I've never enjoyed is distractions while riding... Although I use GPS on car and boat, I've never had it on a bike and used to ride 1000-1200 miles per 24hr, when out... one of the most enjoyable bikes I had (Norton 750), had a non-op tach and a semi-accurate speedo -- I think it may have had an ammeter now that I think about it -- no turn-signals, no fenders front or rear -- beer-can baffles (you get the idea -- sparse) and that bike took me from Washington state to Florida... all over the mid-US and down into Texas several times, snows of the Dakotas... even though I ride somewhat more modern bikes now (am past my mid-70s -- now have ZG1400 and a Softail), I find I ignore most of the digital techno-gadgetry 99% of the time and just listen to the bike, watch the road and I've been quite content with that for years... but good friends ride the same roads and are wired (blue-toothed) for sound, so what do I know

      Thanks for sharing, that’s a really great amount of miles. Cool points. While I’m always remembering the old style like my older bikes I do love my media. I’ve been happy with minimal data and more. I think I need to make N update on this video. Showing how older bikes and some current models have minor input or output and others have more than most will ever use. Again thank you and have a great day.
