Here is some more recent footage of Zack riding a Dyna Low Rider S at Thunderhill, no mechanical failure this time! ua-cam.com/video/qq-4jrXmnWU/v-deo.html
The rider did very well. The HD ? Well; lived up to its "Hardly Ableson" name. Fell apart like they all do. Its why they sell leather tool pouches at the Hardly Ableson shop/web site. These bikes rattle themselves apart.
Team33 - Another idiot that doesn't realize this wasn't a Harley Part failure. Would you PLEASE take the time to educate yourself before embarrassing yourself?
bacorable you dumb fuck, I prefer to keep my life private. No point is posting videos on yt. Do you film yourself in the morning when you eat shit too?
I own an MZ 250 artsy fartsy rat with measly 22 hp. I.m old, I ride upright and usually have carriers on. I can still hang on to "anybody" on the small winding roads, because I'm not heavy, always have good tyres and breaks and have the advantage, that if they didn't go down, there won't be any sand in the turns, something you do have to think about in outback Denmark. The fun part is, when they pass me, and don't look much in the mirrors, and then all of a suddon notice, that I'm still hanging on, and I can see their heads start turn to check the mirrors like crazy. And as soon as there is a long straight road ahead, they just dissapeare a lot faster, than they were going, before they saw me.. :D
@@CONEHEADDK I am in England and a couple of years ago I was out on a Sunday going to a bike meeting place - Rikers cafe at Box Hill in Surrey - when as I was going around the M25 (motorway or freeway as the yanks call it) I saw a couple of bikes riding in a slower moving lane of traffic. I went pass them in a faster lane and that must've upset them being over taken by a Harley with ape hangers that looks typical but has a lot of work - 130bhp and torque and suspension etc etc. So they came pass me and I just hooked on behind them , they were on a Suzuki and some kind of Yamaha. They must have thought they were really pushing it, because later at the cafe, I went back to my bike with a burger and the guy with the GSXR1000 asked me who I was - he said they were going as fast as they could on the non-motorway roads and couldn't lose me.... I just replied that it is no good having a fast bike if you don't know how to ride it ! They just walked away when I showed them the ground away parts of my footppegs.... When I got home, I remebered that the speedo recalibration box ( from yellr.com) I use has a 'fastest speed' feature that I had recently reset.... so I checked it and saw that the fastest speed I had done was 93 MPH an' I'm pretty sure that was on the motorway when riding home !
@@chrismarcantel8480 If you can not drive (conduceir, manejar) a motorcycle 🏍️ you can not ride a motorcycle. Unless you have your woman behind you. Ride... then ride a horse. Además hablo serio jóvencito.
Give credit where credit is due he leaned that pos HD more than most riders will ever lean their sport bikes in their lives. Crash was not even his fault. Much respect to you hope the crash wasn't too bad and you back with that HD kicking ass and taking names.
It must have been a free ride session, where bikes just entering the circuit have to do a whole lap slowly before proper racing. But the Harley driver was shredding, you have to be ballsy to lean on a Harley like that !
"I crashed my Dyna on a road course this weekend, passing sportbikes before my oil cooler gasket blew and took me out." 👍 Think about how Boss that statement is for a minute...
Zach my man... You are an absolute BEAST to push a Harley around a track like that! Passing proper sport bikes, on the OUTSIDE of turns? Props my dude...
All the HD haters here likely never heard of Lucifers Hammer. The iron XR1000 based road racer that Gene Church rode and beat Marco Lucchinelli's factory Cagiva/Ducati TT750 (803cc) with at Daytona. The XR had a displacement advantage as it was of course pushrod while the Duc was OHC desmo. The vid is on youtube. I was there. Awesome race. My ride? Guzzi.
I'm impressed with the skills of the rider. Too bad about the mechanical failure. He was sailing past the race bikes on a cruiser. Impressive riding skills
That wouldn't be a bad plot for a crossover motorcycle racing / hottub time-travel sci-fi movie. I see the guy below talking about his girlfriend loving this video. They could make the lead a woman and really spice things up! The whole thing could be done on a tiny budget and maybe even make money. I'd sure watch it!
Zach is the fastest guy on a Harley I have ever seen! Harley should hire him to do PR for them. They need it right now. Would hate to see them go out of business.
ok so all the other sport bikes he passed were just doing a warm up lap to get the rubber sticky & ready for the real race yes! or did a Harley just pass a bunch of sport bikes on a track???
Love my Dyna Low Rider. I thought it was going to give me the death wobble, but it has been fantastic in high speed turns. Love beating up on the local folks when we get to the turns. They are always amazed that someone can sling a cruiser around.
I’ve always told people you can flatten out the twisters with Iron, but as you see, they do tend to suffer from lubricant incontinence, due to 45° & 60° v -twins trademark vibrato! Racer was obviously riding well within his skill level, the bike’s effective operating range and the road course’s design limits, it just shot off a bit prematurely ! What bike was that? A sportster?
While racing AFM in 1983 at Willow Springs (my 3rd season) 750 Superbikes. I was third while running down the hill into turn eight @12K 5th gear and the number four rod leaves thru a hole in the front of the engine. Oil everywhere and I'm not sure how I kept my 1981 Honda 750F on the track, but ..fortunately for me, Team Honda switched to the VF750F Interceptor in 1983 and my sponsor found a retired inline 755 HRC works engine in SoCal, and the world as I knew it changed in an instant...
That dude on the Harley was mopping up on the competition. I get it he had bad ass forks, brakes/possibly a purpose built race bike. I give the rider props!
Thought it was a sportster till the damage photo. Dyna? Wow! So.. What did the oil dump causing the off? Surprised it did not cause more offs. OIC now. Freekin oil cooler. Damn it!!
Oh man! He was moving!! What bike is He on? A Dyna?? Looks like the rear shocks were upgraded. Curious as to what suspension setup the bike was running.
Love it! Its not what you ride, its how you ride it. He didn't crash really, that's coolant or oil all over the back tyre. Everyone is falling off when that happens. :)
Zack rode the Harley like a boss? Just think how much faster he will on a proper bike instead of a heap of iron. There is a reason why Harley's are not in the Super bike circuit.
whiteribbonman1 the amount cylinders are irrelavent, engine design is what makes the power. Harleys have large cylinders but just dont make much power, the power per displacement is very low. Maybe its intentional who can say, but if they want younger people to get more into harleys they need to start drastically changing stuff, getting the next generations interested is what will keep theyre doors open. But as it sits now harleys will never been seen on a race track competitively. Most top of the line sport bikes are playing near the 300hp range full race bikes are even more.
NO, only MotoGP bikes get to the 300hp mark and those are prototype race bikes, sport bikes like R1, Panigale, zx10-r (excluding the supercharged Kawasaki H2) don't get anywhere near that, even in sbk guise. Air cooled Harley is about effortless torque, all day comfortable cruising, classic looks and feel loaded with luggage/passanger etc - they don't need to make anywhere near that power (and therefore loose their low rpm torque characteristics), self adjusting valves simplicity - they'd be less appealing if they did change the design to a sportbike engine. I ride everything and appreciate them all - trials, supermoto, trikes, quads, sportbikes, enduro etc and cruisers this year for the 1st time.
Great riding bro! Glad you're safe Hope the bike is back in business. My girlfriend loves your videos. She has a nicely modified Harley Nightster! It's so bad ass. She watches your videos for cornering help. Did you change the steer angle?
Texas Kalboy Neither Harley nor Indian invented the motorcycle. And apart from the HD peashooter singles at the Isle of Man in the 20s (I think) they didn't do that well against British or European racers. The Germans and British really created the first recognisable production motorcycles and Norton, Triumph and Royal Enfield were all making motorcycles before HD.
Texas Kalboy so what are you actually trying to say? Or rather, what is the point that you're trying to make. What have Harley/Indian done to start the "wheels rolling" that any other motorcycle manufacturer hasn't?
Dark Destroyer My point was just ride/have fun push all manufacturers bikes so they will improve on them and show a little respect to the elder bikes.... sorry I left out the other old bikes from across the pond....
You thought he would crash, but the bike failed… then crashed. This could happen any where man. HD just fails. That’s just how it is. Numbers don’t lie. Nice riding man! Dudes a boss riding that thing to the max!
Derek aka Derek a simple google search and some moderate digging could pull more than enough info at all their recalls and dangers passed from one bike to another.
Thats the most bad ass thing i’ve seen. At times i though he was going to low and would crash then, only to see it was a mechanical failure that brought him down. Insane rider
What do you think if you're going to ride a harley hard? It's not going to stay together! Hell most don't just riding normal! To see someone take this sort of bike to a track, should be kicked out for life! The oil spill will cause grief and clean up that isn't necessary! When I used to manage a track, NEVER did we let harleys on it! It's not worth the risk and this is the sort of shit that happens, along with most wrecking and hurting themselves. I will say this, harleys are meant as garage ornaments and that's it!
cdyoude Sorry I work on bikes I have my own shop. No you're incorrect they are non stop grief! Get over it I don't make shit up no need! Like I said, if I managed that track I'd a kicked his ass if I'd a caught him on there with that!
All right I'll take the "troll bait" If harleys went a hundred thousand miles EVER we'd have nothing to fucking do! BUT they need a "top end" every 30K, and everything in between! NON STOP GREIF! I know many that make livings off the damn things. Not because how good they are but how bad. SO FUCK YOU! WIN? Win what? Hell the last year they made a Buell, with the use of a ROTAX engine, they were able to keep up with the 750 imports. WOW how awesome huh!
themaxrider Troll Bait??? The only Harley that has ever needed a top end every thirty thousand in the ol iron head sportster motor. I've put eighty thousand on a shovel head before it needed anything. My current dyna has 132,322 and climbing with nothing more than maintenance.
Yeah yeah yeah ladda ladda blah blah blah that's all you say! Hell dude I've been in this business for over 30 years and riding over 40! I wasn't born yesterday! We all know what they are buddy. Hell watch the above video and look how he ape hangs off the side of that tractor and tell me that's safe! It's suspension, engine frame and brakes are NOT up to import standards. Sorry to burst your little fragile snowflake fucking ego, but they're garbage and that's all they are! Poser!
Looks like the Harley was doing a number on them when it let go.Love to know what model H.D. he was riding and mods to it. A super cool machine with out all those screaming rpms. Great video.
Look out for the hopped up Dynas. Especially the 2000-2002 FXDX. Harley made those to try and get interest from the sport bike riders. This guy is very skilled. Too bad his oil cooler line gave up. Because, he was giving them hell.
how does the track day organizer and the track owner feel about blowing oil all over the track? Did they charge him for it? I've only done one track day and they said whoever blew oil on track would be responsible for clean up and fees. pretty much track cleans it up and rider pays for it.

No mechanical failure? Blew a seal, that IS a mechanical failure.
Small-pipi - You have a small brain too... You have no clue what you are talking about troll.
mechanical failure, rider did well.
thats right mechanical failture he ride exelent
Stan Senter the whole bike is a mechanical failure..
Stan Senter dude was awesome. But it’s a fucking Harley not a track bike.
Made in the US, breaks down all the time..
felleice actually most of not all Harley’s are now made and assembled in Mexico, China, Taiwan or Germany since the late 90’s.
Too bad about that gasket, dude was ripping! 👊🐢☠️
bacorable Obviously this isn't a race bike no one is saying it is. He was still going good on it
AYE OK SURE it's a fu... Harley! I'd like to see you with that.
lol his lines and body position were brutal, only thing he ripped was that bike and his ego
Didn't look like beginners group to me.....
bacorable you dumb fuck, I prefer to keep my life private. No point is posting videos on yt. Do you film yourself in the morning when you eat shit too?
That moment, when a harley overtakes you on the outside in a corner :D

About the average time a Harley motor tolerates a flogging ....2 or 3 laps !😎👍
They talked about this the first time i ever went there lol
They are not make for that.
Dude got skills. He was fighting for that number one spot. 2nd place. Mechanical failure. Id say he did pretty damn good.
Feel so bad for the guy! Happy that he's doing well
Hats off to you Zack. You are a way better rider than I'll ever be!!
Bloody hell he can sure mix it with the sport bikes. Big credit to him.
But too bad he had to wring the hell out of that bike to do it.
Awesome riding skills, hope Zak got the bike back together. Love to see someone do things a lil' different!
When you ride a Harley like a Japanese bike. It's certain something will blow up.
that's where you are wrong . Just watch failure percentages.
All bikes break down when you ride them that hard . Go Hate Harleys some where else . fuck face
Harleys just aren't built for this type of riding. Its like taking a van around the track and wondering why it blew up or overheated
I do it all the time & nothing BLOWS up haha! blows up! funny man...
I own a Kawasaki for 12 years and have never had any problems with it. oil change and filter .
Nice quality video, I enjoyed watching it, thanks for sharing
Zack is the man! And whoever is filming him is great!
That guy (Zach) was seriously putting in the work. Excellent skills, I really enjoyed watching him push that machine through the course. Nicely done.
Harleys are not meant for the track. they are designed to move cattle around :) you always see them moving heavy cows on the highway. JK cruiser bros
david kowalkowski LoL
david kowalkowski maybe but that guy was charging overtaking everyone!
It must have been a free ride session, where bikes just entering the circuit have to do a whole lap slowly before proper racing. But the Harley driver was shredding, you have to be ballsy to lean on a Harley like that !
david kowalkowski come on bro! you gotta give it up dude was getting it in on a Harley!
You wasnt joking. You meant it.
He straight up dropped the Spy Hunter smoke screen, then the oil slick.
That was so funny to watch, just gutted about the end. Long as he's all OK. Great riding
"I crashed my Dyna on a road course this weekend, passing sportbikes before my oil cooler gasket blew and took me out."

MalcolmCir amazing skills
Eh. If you survive to make it.
"My gasket blew" very harley comment indeed.
Mr obvious "it's not the bike, it's the rider" gasket or not, dude can ride
A Harley leaking oil? What? Props to that rider. Insane skill and balls.
ha ha that's right when you see a early harley with no oil leaks it usually means there is none in crank case
Love it! Zach's got some serious skill, pushed that bike to its limit!
Zach my man... You are an absolute BEAST to push a Harley around a track like that! Passing proper sport bikes, on the OUTSIDE of turns? Props my dude...
i didn't know you could get that low on those dunlop 400 series!
Nick B thats what i was thinking too!! I would have figured he had some sticky Avons or something..
Hahahaha that’s exactly the first thing I noticed
its dyna low rider S so there are michelin scorcher tires.
Adrian Tranc you know you can change them out right???
Zach rode great until the incident. It would be nice to have the details of his bike and mods on it
technical failure but quite nice ride till end
All the HD haters here likely never heard of Lucifers Hammer. The iron XR1000 based road racer that Gene Church rode and beat Marco Lucchinelli's factory Cagiva/Ducati TT750 (803cc) with at Daytona.

So you find a heavily race prepared Harley that had some success 33 years ago... Well done.
Michael Parker so what?
poncoolride You're saying most of these people don't know shit and your reply is "So what?" When I point out some reality.
Michael Parker its just that you dont have a point.
I'm impressed with the skills of the rider. Too bad about the mechanical failure. He was sailing past the race bikes on a cruiser. Impressive riding skills
It was a real shame he had a problem , don’t see many cruisers bashing the R rockets lol ! Cracking rider ! 👏👏👌💪👍
That guy is a SUPER Badass. Great respect for that Harley rider. Thanks for the video.
that harley will rule the track back in the 1950s lol
That wouldn't be a bad plot for a crossover motorcycle racing / hottub time-travel sci-fi movie. I see the guy below talking about his girlfriend loving this video. They could make the lead a woman and really spice things up! The whole thing could be done on a tiny budget and maybe even make money. I'd sure watch it!
The funnest clip I have seen yet. I hope Zach was wearing a chained wallet and a leather vest inside his leathers. Glad he is okay.
Buddy was killing it...
Zach is the fastest guy on a Harley I have ever seen! Harley should hire him to do PR for them. They need it right now. Would hate to see them go out of business.
ok so all the other sport bikes he passed were just doing a warm up lap to get the rubber sticky & ready for the real race yes! or did a Harley just pass a bunch of sport bikes on a track???
He was racing on the Easy Difficulty Setting
Rider skill is a huge factor in who is faster around a track. I'm sure a pro on a 250r could probably run a faster laptime than me on my 600rr.
Moors Hound just like ive always said.. most sport bike riders cant ride for shit.
As a group, sportbike riders are the most talented. Most other riders don't even practice.

Not. If you see the result.
Shame the POS couldnt take it 😄
All the talent in the world can't save you from a Harley's shitty build quality.
Yea, if you want it to blow up. Trash bikes.

They guy was going like stink, good riding too. Pity about the mechanical failure
Any more vids of riding Harley like this? It's amazing to see it.
This is an awesome video. My best buddy was a track days super sport rider now he rides Harleys like this guy ..well almost😁
What was the guy riding that was filming he had no problem keeping up while filming too amazing. But what was he riding?
I was riding my R6. It's not really difficult to keep up with a Harley on the track, even one with a skilled pilot.
dub GOOD JOB.
Just shows it all about rider skill, this dude was passing Supersports on the turns, holy sheeet he was fast
Hey man may include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel
That guy can certainly ride, i'll be watching out for more vids of him 'hog wrestling' 👍😂
Awesome skills! The nuts it takes to ride a dyna like that... they get pretty wobbly when you push em that hard.
All the guys he passed on supersports were like WTF just happened.
Bummer about the crash.
Thought it was a sportster till the damage photo. Dyna? Wow! So.. What did the oil dump causing the off? Surprised it did not cause more offs. OIC now. Freekin oil cooler. Damn it!!

Ok now look up king of baggers.
Oh man! He was moving!! What bike is He on? A Dyna?? Looks like the rear shocks were upgraded. Curious as to what suspension setup the bike was running.

That and when you compare the power difference Harley's would just get in the way.

Hey Texhead. Check your history. Harley/Indian were around a decade late to be anywhere first.
You thought he would crash, but the bike failed… then crashed. This could happen any where man. HD just fails. That’s just how it is. Numbers don’t lie.
Nice riding man! Dudes a boss riding that thing to the max!
Thats what happens when you take a sofa racing XD
Roy Batty ...dude that comment had me laughing 😆 🤣🤣😂🤣 for hours
Roy Batty LoL 🤣
It seemed like all the other bikes were just getting aquainted with the track - why else would they take the outside line on corners ?
DAMM, i never thought CHOPPERS could do that on RACE TRACKS, he was OVERTAKIN them like EASY-PEASY.

It's not a Harley if it doesnt leak some sort of oil

cdyoude Sorry I work on bikes I have my own shop. No you're incorrect they are non stop grief!
Get over it I don't make shit up no need!
Like I said, if I managed that track I'd a kicked his ass if I'd a caught him on there with that!
All right I'll take the "troll bait"
If harleys went a hundred thousand miles EVER we'd have nothing to fucking do! BUT they need a "top end" every 30K, and everything in between! NON STOP GREIF!
I know many that make livings off the damn things. Not because how good they are but how bad. SO FUCK YOU! WIN? Win what? Hell the last year they made a Buell, with the use of a ROTAX engine, they were able to keep up with the 750 imports. WOW how awesome huh!
themaxrider Troll Bait??? The only Harley that has ever needed a top end every thirty thousand in the ol iron head sportster motor. I've put eighty thousand on a shovel head before it needed anything. My current dyna has 132,322 and climbing with nothing more than maintenance.
Yeah yeah yeah ladda ladda blah blah blah that's all you say! Hell dude I've been in this business for over 30 years and riding over 40! I wasn't born yesterday! We all know what they are buddy. Hell watch the above video and look how he ape hangs off the side of that tractor and tell me that's safe! It's suspension, engine frame and brakes are NOT up to import standards. Sorry to burst your little fragile snowflake fucking ego, but they're garbage and that's all they are! Poser!
Where is your shop located? Do you have a website? Please let us see.
The HD gave in ! Awesome rider
Oops! 😑
Hi man! Tell me, what are you doing that there was no wind noise in your movie?
Nice riding Zach where is this track
That was some impressive riding. The first puff of smoke foretold the story.
Looks like the Harley was doing a number on them when it let go.Love to know what model H.D. he was riding and mods to it. A super cool machine with out all those screaming rpms. Great video.
Definitely a dyna. Big V-Twin from the larger cruisers in a smaller frame
Did he crash because the engine seized or did the tires slip because of leaking oil?
He did a great job and the bike very impressed 👏 👍 . So what happened mechanical?
Holy cow!!! I'm just now seeing this!!! Zach's one BADASS rider!!!!!!!!!
Look out for the hopped up Dynas. Especially the 2000-2002 FXDX. Harley made those to try and get interest from the sport bike riders.
This guy is very skilled. Too bad his oil cooler line gave up. Because, he was giving them hell.
Big credits to the rider of harley, he did very well in competing against sports bike. Damn! That's awesome!
Is This the same Harley guy that's in a UA-cam clip Leaving a guy on a Sport bike I. The dust a few yrs back?
Some serious lean angle on those street tires. He was laying it down for sure.. (no pun intended)
how does the track day organizer and the track owner feel about blowing oil all over the track? Did they charge him for it? I've only done one track day and they said whoever blew oil on track would be responsible for clean up and fees. pretty much track cleans it up and rider pays for it.
Oil spills happen. The track staff cleans it up with specialized equipment and the day goes on.
What was the chase cameraman using? looks like he could of win if he wanted.
I’ve seen that puff of smoke at the track before. It means back off as things just got slippery.
He was cookin’!
What is the weight difference between the two style bikes? I think the Harley weight is it's advantage in the corners
Ah the sound of 1940's technology sliding down the back stretch.
What HD model is that? Can you share more info? Great footage btw!
Some flavor of '05ish Dyna with tall shocks and different exhaust.
i dont understand why he wiped out. Was it spraying hot oil on him or something?
Did he burn out the engine first ?
Good driving skills
Zach is one hell of a rider; never seen a Harley ridden like that…for good reason apparently. 😎
DAM he was killing it!! shit HAPPENS! good to see him get up.
Get that guy a proper track bike and see how he rides:) Talented rider no doubt and lots of skill to ride a big bike like that aggressively.
Still pretty amazing to see. I didn't think a Harley could lean like that.
Harley's have a hard time not breaking during street use. Can't say I'm the least bit surprised it failed during track duty!
