ONE BROKE BIKER
Canada
Приєднався 12 січ 2020
Hi there folks, I am Lloyd, I live in Truro Nova Scotia and I have been riding Motorcycles since I was about 13 years old. I had to beg my parents for my first bike. A little Honda CT-70, from there I moved up to a CB 80R and then to a 454LTD Kawasaki and a Suzuki Intruder 750. I've always wanted a Harley and after riding the Intruder for 20 years I finally bought myself a 1998 Softail Custom and then later I bought a Goldwing so my wife could ride with me. After I saw that she liked it alot I bought an 2006 Ultra Classic
So anywho, I was working on the bike one day and decided to record it under my old wood working channel and it so far it's gotten 9500 views which is pretty cool. Now bike season is coming to a close here in this part of Canada soon but I'm gonna try to put out some videos for ya'all here real soon.
Take ya on some rides around town and out to the bike nights or something.
Anyways folks i hope you enjoy.

TROY -BILT SNOWBLOWER REPAIR. WILL IT RUN RIGHT
Not too sure what really happened to my snowblower but taking it out of my shed to get it ready for winter. I hit the transmission selector on the bottom step and it threw the transmission out of whack.
I don't know much about snow blowers other than they run right when they do and they blow snow as they should. In this video you'll see my lack of knowledge. Get the better of me and then I get the better of it once I discover the mistake that I made.

Переглядів 85221 день тому
The weather hasn't let up, but was mild enough today to get the Softail inside the ol barn for the winter. I cannot believe it fit through the 32" door. Absolutely awesome to have this thing inside. Now I can pick at it over the winter and get it ready for Spring. Thanx for watching. I really do appreciate all of you.

1998 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SOFTAIL CUSTOM - HANDLEBAR CAMERA MOUNT
Переглядів 151Місяць тому
Well I got to thinking about the Handle Bar mounted camera, and remembered I had a bunch of attachments upstairs in my old barn, so I dug through some junk and found it all. Pieced and put it all together from different camera mount set ups and now I have a camera mounted on the handle bars of the 1998 Softail. Super excited to be able to video my rides, just as we enter into the winter season....

NEW IGNITION COIL ON THE OLD HARLEY, STILL WONT START
Переглядів 12 тис.2 роки тому
Went out to the Harley dealership a month ago to get myself a new hoodie, picked up a new ignition coil as well. Finally got the chance to put it on today. The battery is low, I wonder if it'll run once the new coil has been installed. See the other video from a year ago when I tried to get it to fire after installing a new battery.

Nice job, stew looked good.
@@frankwrogg2515 thanx ,my wife is a pretty good cook. I'm well fed. Hahaha
Just found you, looks like wisconsin weather on Dec 28, snow is all gone now.
@@frankwrogg2515 the next amount of weather we are supposed to get is rain on the 2nd of Jan. It's supposed to be nice weather til then. Hopefully it won't take away all the snow. We kinda like it around her.
Yes, you mentioned brake parts cleaner, even a little bit of gas soaked on a rag or paper towel would have worked. Glad ya got it fixed. . . ain't winter in Canada a hoot?! Don; Alta, Canada.
Yup it is, I'm lucky I live in Nova Scotia, where we get some good snow but not as much as up in Alberta.
I'm from Newfoundland originally. We don't get the winters here in Nova Scotia like we do in NL. I do enjoy the snow, but I could leave the cold. As I get older the more I feel it. Lol I didn't even think to use Gas on a rag to clean it. The more ya learn the more ya know hey. I would have never thought of it.
Shes a Beauty..🇺🇲👍🍺🍻🌮🌮
I had an 86 softail that was metallic blue. Then the tattooist bought his first blue softail custom in 1990 because I liked blue and he let me ride it once. I miss the sound but can no longer ride or drive f'ed up shoulder. Do you have to use anti-freeze when it is cold? I am in Sydney and we haven't had snow in my lifetime.
@@fredjones4820 Antifreeze? Harley's are air cooled. They are hard to start in colder temps, like any other motorcycle. I had to wait for a warmer day. It was 3°c when I got it in the old barn here. Took about four tries to get it to stay running with the choke on. Sydney, Australia? Has it ever had snow? Thanx for watching I watch a few Aussie Channels on here. Mostly car related channels.
@@lloydosmondjr1 It has snowed at Blacktown station many decades ago. I saw an old photo. I bought a panhead manual and it recommended anti-freeze in colder climates. As I said I can't ride but I prefer bikes than cages. Glad I can't ride any more because I could not handle riding at low speeds, I used to do 160 kmph or 100 mph on my way home and loved an S bend throwing it through it. They are not good at cornering but great on the open road. One night I met some guys and doubled a guy at least twice my size near Rookwood Cemetery to get beer. He held the beer and leaned over and said let's turn it on and we were doing 160, but mine only had a single front disc brake and forget if the back was a drum but it had crappy stopping power and bad lights. But it was fun. Stay upright and cheers.
--rode to newfy in 75 with a few guys from T.O, and partied at ''FOGO'',may i suggest 4'' pullback risers with stock bars,paint the fender ,and ride the hell out of it ,the rust don't bother me a bit.🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵⚓🏴☠🏴☠
I've rode my island many times over and it's always been a different ride. Love Newfoundland. Been away now for 23 years. Moved to Nova Scotia in 2001. Love it here. Longer riding season. I have the risers for it and a set of drag bars. You'll have to watch to see them being changed out. I don't mind the rust either and kinda want to sand the bike down in spots to create some patina then clear coat it. It pulls hard man. Both my bikes do and I love it. 53 years old feeling 21 when I ride.
I c the Newfoundland flag ! i was born there !...but got adopted and moved to the southern states...nice bike !
Welcome Newf. Where are ya from in NL? I'm from Port Aux Basques. Southern States is nice I bet. Thanx, I have an 06 Ultra Classic as well.

Staring a bike in the cold is a particular thing 😂...bikes run different in the cold each one of mine has its thing once pumpin tho it's good
@@DavidVega-sz9wd yep, same here My Ultra Classic runs fine in the cold, but this old bike don't like the cold much.
Camera too low can't see you go by. Maybe next time!!
Please fix that cable if you are going to record. That kills you video!
I have to move the camera set up. Can't move the front brake cable.
My first bike was a 1998 FXTSC that I bought in 2019. It had 85,000 miles on it and I put at least another 5K. It never quit, and was a great and fun bike. Evo's never die!
Pop the cover off your nose cone and look at your ignition pickup. Mine started doing that popping about a 100 miles before it went out.. it had the epoxy oozing out of it for a while. I thought the popping was carb so i rebuilt it.. twice lol and put new intake seals.. finally it died all together and after replacing that pickup the popping was gone for good
Nose cone?
@lloydosmondjr1 the timing cover on the right side.. if it has never been taken off it may be rivited on. Your bike may have a V2 on it. 2 rivets or screws. If it is going bad it may be oozing out of the area the wire come out the bottom of it.
Be carful with that mount.. i had one similar that my phone flew out of riding down the hiway lol
Another broke biker here lol. Been trying to take my 98 heritage back to somewhat stock lol. Getting rid of a lot of 90s billit and custom pait. Spent the first part of its life as a show bike. Nice ride!
Cool ride man. The sky is very beautiful. This encourages it to run. Good week to you!
Hi Lloyd! Thanks for the quote in the video. Your softail is awesome. Here in Brazil, as in Canada, there are very few motorcycles at that time. lots of tropical storms here. I continue to follow your channel. be safe!🙏
Hi Paulao, Here in Nova Scotia, the riding season is usually from mid April to mid November. The weather can change her in an instant. People say if you don't like the current weather in Nova Scotia, wait five minutes, it'll change. Haha Tomorrow it's supposed to be 9°c so I'll most likely take the Softail out for a little ride. Thanx for watching. I appreciate ya. Cheers
Hello. Congratulations on your channel. I really like motorcycles. I bought my Fat Boy 4 months ago and I'm loving the bike. I will follow your activity on the channel. I learn a lot from this. I also had gallstones. I operated and removed the gallbladder. Normal life. Hugs and success! I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
@@paulao.independente hey, welcome to the madness. Hahaha. Once I figure out what the heck I'm actually doing, with UA-cam, The Channel should turn out pretty cool, I'm hoping. The Fact Boy is one bike that is said to be very reliable so good on ya for making that purchase. I'll give a shout-out to ya in my next video. Stay tuned.
@lloydosmondjr1 Cool dude! Notifications are already marked. Until the next video!
Oh ya.
Those later evos are amazing. I swap out the intake seals every couple of years just to be safe
I love this bike, like really love it. I have the 06 Ultra Classic but I cannot part with this Softail Custom. Great all around bike. I'll be taking better care of it from now on. It deserves to be ridden and not put in the back corner of the barn.
I love the rear end. I want to get my fender down like that. My 1988 has been in the shop for the last year it's self but should be out soon.
Before chopping your fender, check with your bike mechanic to see if there's a law against it. Apparently my fender is to short. For as long as I own the bike, I have never been told that it was too short. The guy at Bentley bikes who inspected it said that the rear fender was too short according to the inspection laws.
Nice bike, I came up to Nova Scotia, years ago with my dad. He was an artist, and did some painting from Peggy’s cove
@@mikeashbaugh7773 Came up to Nova Scotia from where? I'm from Newfoundland originally. I've been here now 24 years.
Thanks so much for completely waisting my time get to the point !!! We watch these to solve problems!!
What size waist are you referring to, perhaps a 36 waist?
Thank you everyone for the 10k views.
I’d rather have watched you hook up a battery charger to that Softail than watch you start a completely different bike. 😡
Pretty much new to UA-cam. Here's to hoping I make more videos and they get better.
@@lloydosmondjr1 You almost had it right. 😂
@@Dayton504 meh can't please everyone I suppose. There's other channels for you to enjoy.
@@lloydosmondjr1 I know, but I’ve got faith in ya.
@@Dayton504 that'll help me sleep at night now knowing that. Hahahaha!!
Hi i have a problem ..maybe u know or have some idea....new coil/plugs/pick up....but bike as very low spark and the plugs...when started she fired and with a bit of throtle it shots by the exhaust and one time and another it blows from the carb.....but main issue is very low spark in the in the spark plug
turn your gas line open 1st ....then turn throttle 5-6x maybe more with choke ...see what happens
I have an 03 low rider anniversary with a twin cam 88 carbureted. The front winding started smoking, replaced the coil and neither cylinder has spark. Is there also a fuse or relay for the coil? It was running fine before the coil burned and nothing after replacing it with 3 different coils.
It sucks that after 8 months no one answered your question. It might be a circuit breaker, hard to find but easy to change. It's underneath the battery area, , in front of the rear tire at about 3 o'clock position, has 2 wires going to it, resides in a spring-loaded clip that's attached the ABS frame of the fender, about the size of a pair of dice. No need to remove the seat or anything else. Just unclip it, remove 2 wires and install the new one in reverse order.
Thank you for answering this question. Seriously, I appreciate it. I didn't know the answer.
Did you get it running, was it the coil. I have power to my coil on the bottom wire, but no voltage going out from the top coil.wire to the points.
Took it to a Bike shop, they got it running, new video uploaded.
CPS.
What's a CPS?
@@lloydosmondjr1crank position sensor
Jesh, I was thinking Child Protective Services. There weren't any children in the video besides me. Lol@@thomassmith1200
Should have checked it with a meter
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE 1000 VIEWS. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. ROCK ON
Great video , question would a shot ignition coil not let a bike crank and start. My 13 street bob won’t start up and codes show front coil open and rear coil open. But when I press the start button my starter doesn’t crank or spin etc. no sound at all. I cleaned the grounds on the starter etc.
Silly question, but is your RUN toggle button turn to the off position.
@@lloydosmondjr1 it was in the on , turned out my bcm was fried
Where I can follow you on Instagram?
I don't be on Instagram much.
You could try looking up lloyd.osbourne You may find me there. I'll start posting pictures on there more.
