  • Welcome to another exciting episode of "Ride N Reviews," where today, I take the 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited for a spin at a Harley demo day! Things started off great - I was cruising along, feeling like the king of the road, when suddenly... well, let’s just say I had an unexpected pit stop to help a fellow rider in need. 😅
    After that little roadside adventure, I may or may not have kept the bike a bit longer than I was supposed to. 😬 Let's just say, the fine folks at Harley were looking for their prized ride, and yours truly was out playing the good Samaritan! #Oops
    But hey, it’s all part of the experience, and I still managed to gather some solid thoughts about this beast of a touring machine. Spoiler alert: The Road Glide Limited is packed with power, comfort, and style that’ll make any cross-country trip a breeze. In this video, I’ll break down my short-but-sweet test ride and give you all the specs.

    To just automatically go "Shouldn't have done that, you're done for the day". Dudes having a power trip.

      He just didn't have the context I had about the situation. He just sees a random guy coming back with one of their bikes WAY OVER the time limit. So, it doesn't look good on my part. Although I explained what happened and what I did, he told me I was done for the day. Unfortunately, I put him in a tough position to make that call given I didn't call them ahead of time. Oh well, at least the biker I stopped for is okay! 👌

    I work at a dealership… and probably that decision gets made above my pay grade during a “demo days”… you did the right thing.

    You definatly did the right thing stopping. It dont matter if it is a new bike, a old bike, a rebel bandana wearing biker, a Can-Am Spyder, black, white, yellow or blue. You always stop to help a fello biker.
    However, next time. Call them and let them know.

      Yeah, I realized that after the fact. I’m sure things would have gone differently. I was too focused on his well-being and keeping him company that it slipped my mind to call the dealer

    Rest easy that you did the right thing. There can be an exception to most rules, the Demo Guy could have had you verify your story with a look at the video. So much for the "Brothers of the Road"- Lifestyle BS that HD tries to sell.
    If you want to ride an American Bike head straight to your Indian Dealer and don't look back.

      Thanks! I appreciate the kind words! I'm happy the biker got home safely, and nothing bad happened. I'll take that over being able to ride the rest of the day any day

      Some of them I feel are in lala land when you demo a bike and ride away. But, hey, I guess as long as it comes back in one piece

    I think if you called it may have gone differently it might just seem like a red flag to them

      @ShiftNSmiles  13 днів тому

      Absolutely! I agree with you. Things most likely would have turned out differently had I called. But, unfortunately I didn’t. These are the repercussions i had to bear. At the end of the day I’m happy our fellow biker got home safely.

    Aren’t bikers supposed to help each other. This is why nobody like Harley guys

    • @ShiftNSmiles
      @ShiftNSmiles  13 днів тому

      They are! It’s like an unspoken rule. Which is why I helped out. At the end of the day my man was taken care of and not left stranded. So, morally, I’m happy
