Glad to sub to a channel where the main dude, actually has some charisma, and is genuine.
Should have tank strapped your coffee.
Gruuvin1 😂👌
😂🤣😂🤣
You guys are on a roll !!
All the dealerships you guys are doing business with are absolutely fantastic and pretty reasonable..makes your video enjoyable to watch 😀
It's weird seeing an industry that isn't in the business of screwing each other over. :)
Love the pop ups extra info and srkcycles logo ..good one 👍🏼
Another AMAZING episode from you guys, absolutely killing it. The editing has come a long way. CanNOT wait for next week's episode with the 20 bikes 😂 😂 I was laughing so hard for the last two minutes when talking about getting them
You guys are down my way, I've rode over that bridge and rode 'round south Philly (Hairy), much prefer the country farming areas of south Jersey. And please continue to share the word of God, we all need inspiration.
I’m a truck driver and I call that “threading the needle” too. Except I do it with an 18 wheeler...
8:37 "Oh no, he's wearing Airpods! He can't hear us. Oh no!"
Brilliant business model. Instead of being limited to their physical location, they now have a nationwide audience that they've built goodwill and affinity with.
Exactly, it makes selling bikes fun and easy. We love serving customers all over the country
simon and garfunkel playing at the dealership
that would legit make me buy a bike from them
America is a perfect roadtrip song
I love all these old videos..... It's always nice watching someone do something they are passionate about. Ty for the great content
I bought my VRod from that Hannums. Memories.
Hannums is great
20 bikes?!!! Ready for the follow up vid! Keep on keepn’ on! God bless!
I was just at the hannum dealership yesterday. I never realized you guys were so close!
Nobody asked, but: Dalessandro's or John's Roast Pork are the best cheesesteak spots in Philly (its where locals go)
I am recently retired from a lumber company and we use those type of straps on our lumber loads they are awesome
For someone like me, who’s always wanted to live in the USA, a video like this is awesome 😎 Unfortunately, both things I want but can’t have - living in the US and owning a Harley.
That entire trip explains why I live in the mountains of NC. I don't mean to throw shade on anyone's home, but that is not for me. I use to work for RCA back in the day and we flew into Philly and drove over to Cherry Hill, NJ and my butt was tight the entire time until I got back south.
The reason she got $3 million in punitive damages is because McDonalds knew that their coffee was served hot enough to cause severe burns. They had settled several similar claims for small change, but they didn't lower the temperature because it translated into more sales due to the powerful aroma released. They calculated that it was worth burning some people to keep their profits. Similar to the cost analysis that Ford conducted when they knew the Pinto would explode and kill people when hit from behind. Also, the woman was elderly and the burn was pretty serious down her inner thighs. $3 million to McDonalds is like $100 to you and me.
I think she won the case because it was before they put the "CAUTION - HOT" warnings on the cups.
Thanks for the info. I studied that pinto case studio in a law class in college and it was very interesting and horrible how a company can put a value on a life like that

McDonald's had the amt reduced on appeal.
One of the best things about having a kid, baby wipes in every vehicle! Great for spills lol
Glad to see that you crossed your Trailer Chains under the Draw Bar of your Trailer, but those Chains really need to be Untwisted and then Shortened to a more appropriate Length. Just an Opinion.
Interested to hear why ? Always looking to learn
Bikes and Beards Twisted Chains can reduce the Breaking Strain of Individual Links because it can Cross Load Links in a manner they were not designed for. Their Maximum Strength is End to End on a Flat Plain. Besides it Looks Better and More Professional. Safe Working Load On Any Chain should not exceed One Ninth of the Breaking Strain Rating for that Chain.
This might help you get an extra bike on the trailer ,, get some light 4 inch channel ,, weld 1 piece on the pipe bar at the front of your trailer making a ramp,,weld another piece extending over the drawbar for the front wheel ,, But dont go to far forward or your van will hit the wheels when you turn a corner,,,you may get enough space to get an extra bike ,,
Still waiting to take your bike home on Sept 14th 😈🤞🏽 watching you inch closer and closer to 1M everyday!🤝 GOD BLESS!! 🙌🏽
I can't wait for that bike purchase video!
Born & Raised NJ, but camped and kayaked at the Delaware Water Gap.
Sean must have a huge line of credit. I bet he used Caleb as collateral.
If I default they will take Caleb and my dog
@@BikesandBeards bahaha that's awesome!
Caleb got a payout from suing the dumptruck guy. Hes practically filthy rich
All joking aside, I sure hope Caleb got something from that moron trucker. That guy was clueless and demonstrated he shouldn't even have a license.
Bikes and Beards - Dude.. that would suck to lose your dog!
What about Brian's in Langhorne? Believe it or not they used to be pretty decent when they were in their old place. I actually remember Brian when he had a little shop in Trenton. Do you ever get down to Nick's in Williamstown? Dell's in West Trenton, or Sam's in Bensalem?
Those Honda nc700x are great beginning bikes. I got one in 2012 and road it for a few years after being off of a bike for a long time. Only complaint was it was down on power.
I feel like I've met Caleb before... I feel so bad about the wreck... God bless the whole b&b family and crew. It is he who will guide you on the path of righteousness
You guys rarely Mention The Tigers When you have them.. Its the only Adventure Triple..I figured you would have done a video one one by now. The Most under rated Bike in the World
I’ve flipped 4 Harley’s last year and made from $2000 to $3000 each. The trick is to find an owner that needs to sell today. Divorce and new baby sales are the best. Also find bikes with lots of extras. Harley add ons sell for prime dollar. I’ve sometimes stripped $500 of aftermarket parts off one bike.. and always have cash. Cash talks and cash buys fast.
Way late here - but that is the weird thing about this - buying non brand bikes from a dealer just screams lower profits.
I like seeing more of the business side like when you guys bought a bunch before showing you actually haggling with the other guys talking how you make your decisions on making a purchase what it takes to make money and run the business etc. More inside the goings on rather than well here is us driving there loading the bikes and leave to get lunch.... show us you calling them making a deal buying the bike what happens when you get the bikes back to the dealership what you do to the time it gets put on the lot with a sale tag. Show us some sales you guys make good or bad etc.
We will try to do more of that but phone calls and some negotiations the other party doesn’t want to be seen.
Love your guys' videos and shop. I followed the sale of the Rune on Ebay only because I wanted to see what it sold for. lol. Glad it worked out for you guys.
Dude! Ray Liotta works at Hannum's Harley? Sweet. 4:14 to see Ray.
Bro don't twist your trailer chain like that as soon as the chain fully loads as it would do if your trailer came off it will snap.. you are better to cut the chain and then if you need it longer use a rated shackle to lengthen your ass gonna get sued if your trailer come off
If you haven't, you should check out ShockStraps. Since getting them, I couldn't be happier. But it looks like you may have a business relationship with Tank Straps so you probably won't check them out if that's the case. I get a kick out of seeing the bikes on the Tank Strap website (from your link) that show most bikes only strapped on the front forks. That's insane! The rear of the bikes could easily swing out on a turn. The front and back should definitely be strapped. In fact, on my monstrous Triumph Rocket III Touring (2300 CCs), I use five straps on each side from front to back and the front wheel in a very heavy chock. Four or the straps are Shock Straps. I wouldn't even think of trying to use just two straps on the forks. BTW, for anyone who doesn't know, ShockStraps have flexible links that keep the straps tight no matter what. And those links are backed by the strap itself so, in the extremely unlikely event that the flexible link broke, the strap itself takes over. Great design! Also, endless loop is nothing new. All of my straps are endless loop and their not Tank Straps. I don't mean to knock Tank Straps but I don't see anything special or unusual about them at all. ShockStraps, on the other hand, really are an ingenious design.
BTW, I have absolutely no connection to ShockStraps. I'm just a very happy customer. I do have one complaint, though that anyone thinking of buying ShockStraps should know. You are supposed to crank them down so the flexible link is stretched so you can just slide your hand between the link and the strap. But, if you do that and the attachment position is above the suspension, it will put so much pressure on the suspension that it will almost completely collapse it - even with my huge Rocket III Touring. So I just don't crank them down that much. But I've almost been tempted to shave a little of the rubber-like flexible link to reduce their tension. There's plenty of videos about ShockStraps on UA-cam.
Well exactly if you were using tank straps all you would need is 2. When we transport our large bikes including rocket 3’s that’s all we use. The back is heavy enough that it will not move on a turn we have transported hundreds of bikes thousands of miles only using 2 straps. Now on smaller lighter bikes we will use a strap on the back. Or if there is nothing in front of the bike stopping it from going forward. Let’s recap Tank straps all you need is 2. Shock straps you need 10. And yes Tank Strap is my company. But I don’t love them because they are mine. I had them made to fill a void in the market. Thanks for watching the video
The coffee that woman spilled was also extremely over regulated temp that McDonald's was supposed to have it at and had MULTIPLE complaints yet did nothing. When she was burned she asked that McDonald's ONLY pay for medical bill but when they refused and pretty much laughed in her face an attorney took over and sued McDonald's for even more
Yeah people forget that poor woman had 3rd degree burns on a large part of her body from that spill. The reason it is looked at like a joke is that McDonalds did a massive PR campaign to discredit her story. The people who run and ran McDonalds were all terrible people - Ray Kroc especially.
caleb eating wallburgers was the funniest. he didnt even look up lmaoooo
Philadelphia rules, flyers, eagles, Phillies, Sixers, don't forget Rocky, nice to see you passing through
Dude I love love love the music y’all use In your videos!!
I live in Lancaster,and I have been seeing post for your bikes on Facebook market place. I like the channel!
Cool what kind of bike do you ride ?
Please level with me...is J.R. actually Ray Liotta?
I don’t know lol
Maybe before the Botox!
Ray liottas eyebrows bother me. Something about them isnt ok
YamahaCruiser he really is, think Goodfellas meets SOA lol. He’s a nice enough guy though. He just sold me my first Harley this past Friday 🤤
Softail FatBoy, Love it...
Holy shit, the voice is dead on
Government cheese is good. Used to get big 4lb blocks of it from the state years ago
You must be a person of no color. The persons of color got 5 lbs.
@@stevek8829 could have been 5lb blocks. If by no color you mean caucasian then you would be correct. Although due to my profession being road construction I am darker than most caucasians
Looks like you're gonna need a bigger trailer.
Call Kauffman trailers and ask for Chuck. Lol
Shameless plug? Haha well played Chuck 🍻
3:34 for a second I thought a kohls ad popped up
Hey you making fun of heated grips, I have the same ones on my roadking and I love them, If that makes me a old geezer that's because I am lol.
You guy's ROCK! I'm curious, roughly how man bikes do y'all sell a year? Love watching the process of how you buy your inventory. Super cool. Keep it!
that's the dealership that i practice wheelies at (well the parking lot right next to it by the kohls)
Never knew Ford made a power stroke van.
Barbs. That’s my neck of the woods. Got my HD there.
Ahhhh cool
Shouldn't the bikes be tied down standing straight up in neutral with kick stand up?
We don’t have any weight on the kickstand but sometimes I like to favor the bikes to the kickstand side. And I always leave them in 1st
Interesting. The guy that delivered my bike says neutral is best on the trailer so the tranny doesn't clang back and forth when you stop and go. If those tank straps don't allow any movement if tied down properly, I suppose it's a non issue. Cheers Sean, keep up the great vids and good work.
Yep I always leave in gear and sidestand down. If the bike is strapped tight it’s fine in gear but the advantage comes when you slack of the straps back at base. So many accidents happen when the bike
Goes over when the pressure is taken off. With the stand down and in gear it stays put mostly when the straps ate loosened.
Cool thanks dude.
Be safe boys! Blessings get back home safely
Gov cheese, is cheese made with excess milk produced by American dairy farmers,so as not to throw the milk out,the gov had so much cheese they gave it to the citizens in 5 lb blocks.
the wahlburgs grew up on govt assistance HENCE they ate a lot of government cheese.. thats why they have the reference with all of their burgers
Its also a reference to a specific style of processed cheese, for a fastfood place that cheese makes sense, it melts well, its reliable, easy to manage its basically Velveta
Sorry I just found you man for my sake mostly. You've got great content.
Y'all be safe out there might be getting some bad weather and very cold make sure you got some thick clothes and the van has gas treatment so you don't freeze up just stay safe y'all God bless each and everyone of you and we can't wait to see you on the other side of the video🙂🙂❤❤👊👊👊👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
😂😂😂 gas treatment in that van. You're not from Canada aren't you? I'm sorry don't want it to sound rude but it's like -20 celcius here and we live fine and trucks don't need gas stuff
@@mathlfr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you never seen anybody use that stuff and it helped them out haahahaa
So, you basically shop around Harley Davidson dealerships and buy non-HD trade-in bikes there on the cheap and then resell them at normal prices =) Good thinking
at the front put straps on bars to compress forks to keep straps in tension. straps around the front fender mounts just leaves a big leaverage mass of bike flopping around above and even with a strap over the seat it will be taught then loose as trailer goes over bumps and the bike suspension reacts; just sayin'.
Sorry but you are wrong. Lol
👍this video is super fun to watch! keep it up my friend
Thank you, and thanks for watching we have a lot of fun things coming down the pipeline
Our family loves watching you guys. May God continue to bless you.
David & Elizabeth amen
Cant wait to watch the 20 bikes next week. :) Make it an hour show pls. I will watch every min.
Awesome thanks for watching and supporting us.
The 1992 McDonald's coffee incident happened here in Albuquerque.
So can you tell us how you make offers on these bikes like , what are you offering 2/3 of what they are asking or what ? Trying to start my own business and I think it’s much safer to buy from dealers then Craigslist
DistrictCloud I know wasn’t the title called “how I buy bikes” nothing wnas said about how
When they take bikes from other dealers it's more about just moving stock not making a deal. They won't make any money off each other. nor will they expect all the after sale and warranty.
Chris Hart that’s the question how do you rotate stock then? If I want more stock in my dealership how do you get it for cheap from another dealer and yes they make money even if it’s 500 they still make money . And Sean said they but about a half mill from the one dealership . So tell me our of a half mil they aren’t making any money .
No they're making money. I mean have you ever traded a bike in and had them give you the full value for it. They may initially pay full price but buying in bulk and with how many transactions they imply they've had they're getting it cheaper I'm sure. But even half price the dealership is probably making money.
As for safer be careful with that thought process, you kind find snakes on craigslist and at a dealership. Remember, the dealership bought these bikes from someone else, so they could very well have problems that they don't know or neglect to mention. I however actually agree with you, typically I trust the dealership more, just always be careful with it. Good luck if you start a business!
Love the video interesting to see the bikes loaded etc and the journey etc
my harley dealer said they do take metric bikes but because corporate doesnt allow them to sell them on the floor they have to sell them to people like these guys.
That's Donnie! From....new kids on the block
Harrison is doing a pretty good job!
Love your road trips to pick up bikes, especially when you pick them up at familiar dealerships (Crofton, MD with the Rune, and Barb's this week!)
I also normally go to Philly for food about once a month. If you like Cannolis, go to Cafe Crema right near Pat's and Gino's on E Passyunk and 9th st.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the info
Buying bikes on road trips would be awesome 👍🏻
Damn, that first HD dealer looks like a shop from the 70's. Surprised corporate hasn't forced a remodel.
Right now all HD Stealerships aren't selling bikes so it's in their best interests to sell old inventory. Even then they're STILL making big bucks...
I'm in central Florida and I'm trying to start flipping bikes I currently have my first bike being worked on now but I'm not selling I'm looking at a 750 kow now
Do you guys buy distressed bike, that you then fix up and sell? Or is it that because you have a large internet presence that you can make a enough profit off each bike to support your business. I am left wondering how those you purchase from are not able to flip their bikes, but you can. Do you purchase them at a discount because you are purchasing in bulk as it were?
Awesome, Hannums is the bomb and my local dealership. Did you know they also have four other locations? All in Pa. and one in North Jersey. The Chadds Ford location might be a bit closer to you. All of my friends from work in Philly used to come to Hannums for their Harleys. They told me that they always got better deals from them as opposed to the other dealers in the area and not mentioning names. Been buying from them since the early seventies.
Yes I did know that and yes Hannuns is great I enjoy working with the Hannums team. They look out for the customer
Without the negotiation about price it's a nice travel video.
All the negotiations were done way before we went there
Ok so edit that into the video?
@@ponypwr where I am brought up it is rude to ask someone what they paid for it ( bike , women ,lol )
At the beginning it looks like a guy in his undies shoveling a trailer hahaha
That guy in the backseat is thinking about a buffet lunch place near the dealership.
How the heck did you get away with copyrighted music playing loudly in the background?
Agree, those saddlebags are hideous. Try ours if you want the best!
vikingbags I got a set of your bags for my Vulcan 900 and I love them!
At around 8:23..... Home boy in the back looks like he is about to grab the wheel and turn them head first into a wall.
Also around 13:50 as well.... I hope your day got better buddy. 😂😂😂😂
Yea im moving to Florida to ride all year , f this cold weather .. from md
I would like your opinion about buying bikes that were wrecked, fixed up and sold with a salvage title?
Liked every video so far 👍 and subscribed. 👍👍👍👍👍
Nothing to protect the paint from the straps?
How do you guys make any profits buying from a dealer. Usually their mark up is already high, so your basically arbitraging like a couple hundred on each bike?
Find me a GSXR 750 by spring I will fly out and get it from u. Miles don’t matter to me as long as it’s been cared for. Also great video.
Sweet
How come Harrison doesn’t get his name on the screen?
Go Sean and Caleb ..love bikes 🏍 and love your videos you guys are so cool 😎
Sean has an excellent business 🧠 brain
Good luck to him and you guys
Pleasure watching yr videos
And go Patriots !!
Six ring , 🏆
Fingers crossed knock off the chiefs !
Thanks
Almost positive those are Tsubaki saddlebags. Nice that the previous owner put Japanese bags on a Harley and then drilled into the rear fender. Must have been a young guy with his first bike, doing what he could. BOL with sale
right LOL Cringe when i saw that
I live right in west chester! cool to see you guys rolling through
Buying that many bikes they should deliver them to you guys.
bills custom bike was mean looking but 12,500? that seems a bit absurd. but i guess someday someone will see who loves it and just knows its theres
You guys parked in the whitest part of Norther Liberties in the middle of the day! I was more shocked you found parking for the van and long trailer!
Lol I was shocked also
no man can ever starap anything onto a trailer without saying " well thats not going anywhere" lol im from spring city pa not far from you. can you guys stock more cheap bikes id love to come up and check out your place sometime.
Watching this video from 2 years ago you guys look like Outlaw Amish riding in that van
Speaking of the gsxr the 750 is a bigger frame of i believe
That van sounds bloody awesome!
Great video as usual. Keep up the good work.
Why do I get the vibe of farcry 5 when I watch srk videos, is it just me?
The woman who sued McDonald's...... it was the woman mother....an elderly lady.... the burn was so bad and extensive she almost died . Now get this ... all she wanted was for McDonald's to help with the medical expenses...... They totally and completely refused. That's when she sued.and it wasn't because she spilled it it was because the coffee was so hot.. it wasn't just hot it was close to boiling and that was one of the reasons in the case.
Barb's HD...you're in my hood! Actually not really, I'm in the pine barrens, but Barb's is the biggest HD dealer around us.
Nice
Atlantic County
Get on a CB and key the mic.....breaker breaker need a 53 footer for 20 HD's
