I’m just a rider not in a MC but I always thought it was more about what you do to make it yours than the brand. Anybody can ride something off the floor or pay someone to customize it for them but it takes real talent, dedication, and some imagination to really make it a unique part of you.
It’s a shame V-Rods we’re overlooked back in the day, because to me it’s the only Harley I’d be interested in buying. Makes sense it’s popular with MCs in Germany because the engine was co-developed with Porsche, so there’s a perfect American/German national pride mashup
I've been riding for a little over four decades. Rode with members of many different clubs. Back in the day the old Triumphs were accepted as well as the Harleys. I started out on British bikes later on Harleys I still love them both.
My first "two" or for the matter of getting i license was a 71 , 650 Triumph Tiger. It was a basket case when I bought her. Within a couple years she was full restored and customized for my pleasure. The former owner had trophies on his shelves for being the fastest in its class. Even as a basket case it gave me my thirst for riding. I now roll on an 07 Fatboy, It has some goodies on her but none look or sound like her. I see what you see Ride on brother.
My last 2 wheeler was a 2007 Dyna Streetbob. I rode it from Jax Fl to Sturgis and back. I suffered 2 broken backs so I had to pull the trigger on a H D Freewheeler Trike. I am currently on my 3rd one, The 114 M8 is a beast. Thank you Sose for this platform, Love and Respect #ghostin in Florida
The bike I like to ride now out of all the motorcycles I've ever ridden Harley-Davidson Fatboy the Terminator motorcycle that Arnold Schwarzenegger Road
Man, it's like you read my mind. Picking up my first Harley sometime in the spring. Was looking at some bikes the other day, and literally had a thought like "I've seen 1%'ers on some badass bikes. I wonder what they roll with." Two or three days later, you answer that exact question.
Much respect to you Sose!! I've been riding since 1976 & have NEVER owned anything but Harley's. Currently ride a '97 Roadking that doesn't have even one stock part on it anymore. I bought it new & have everything from Jaybrake 6 piston calipers to entirely S&S motor that I built myself (it dyno's at 100 HP), D&D Fatcat exhaust, etc. No one but me has ever laid a wrench on my scooter & never will!! I also have a 1980 HD - 80/80 FLHS that I bought a couple years ago & am in the process of rebuilding!! Keep up the great videos.
Up in WA lots of glides on the freeways, around town softails and dynas. I think there’s an age thing too: In my teens and 20s I could go cross country on a dyna all day mostly because I couldn’t touring bike. Now I’m older, got some more cash in my pocket and the touring bikes are getting more appealing.
I’m not now but I was a biker in the early 70s. Now, I’m just a “pushing 73 years old guy” who still rides. And in my lifetime, I’ve never owned or ridden nothing but Harleys.
Not in a MC, much respect for all MC's. After having a chat with a Sgt. at Arms, Bandito one night. He asked me what kind of bike I had? I said I didn't have one at the moment. He said, what are you looking for? A Harley? I told him No! He looked very surprised. I told him I couldn't support a manufacturer who wouldn't support the people that kept them going in the lean years. I told him I wanted a Victory or Triumph. A week after talking with him I bought an older Victory, 2 weeks after that I bought a Triumph. Didn't really like the feel of the Triumph after riding it for awhile. Ended up trading the Triumph to have work done on the Victory. Loving my Victory! Currently in South Mississippi, moving soon back Oklahoma.
Will be going on 2 yrs this season since buying my 2001 Fatboy, is 1st bike i ever rode and have owned now, wasent planing to really get one and learn to ride(never owned anything with a clutch) but when i saw it in the craigs list add I was just drawn to it, After buying it I took it for a ride around the block a few times to figure out the clutch, went and took the riders course got my lisence and have had a blast since
Still riding my 1949 El Panhead as I have been for the past four plus decades. Hand shift, foot clutch, kick-start only. It's not a garage Queen. It's written several times a week now that I'm retired, but it used to be a daily rider.
Nice! Had my VN800A for a while and got the thirst for more power. Was looking at the VN1500 and also sat on a mates VN2K. BIG bike!! Would you recommend the 2k or is that too much of a jump from the humble 800?
@@thenotoriousmrtwitchmachin7004 the 2000 is awesome. The only thing is it straddles wide. Not an issue for me, but people I know teeter on tip toes when they hop on it. That, and it comes stock wit a 5 speed, so my ankle tattoo of 1N23456 was a little out of place, LOL!
I like the history of the American clubs... Like how everybody rode a Chopper or a Bobber, and customized their bike themselves. Riding a hardtail chopper is an experience I think every biker should have! Where I live it's Glides and Dynas all day tho, the M8 softails are comin up quick to.
Interesting to be reminded about the Triumphs as I knew two ex pagans (from the 80's) and at least one of them still rode a heavy custom Triumph that would shake you apart on the road if you did not know how to handle it. I also knew some one that had an old Indian chopper. It was pretty much the same or similar to an old Harley from the looks of it. A fun ride either way.
Northern California 1%ers like the (Clubstyle)FXDX-Tsport/FXDX, Dyna Lowrider S, Lowrider, FXRP, FXDB, Roadking(T-Bars), Roadglide(T-Bars) and now the new HD Pan-Am.
I ride an 03 Dyna Super Glide 100th Anniversary. First Harley and I adore it. Looking at picking up a Road Glide as well but my Dyna will never leave my possession
Just saw your video about getting the crash bars! Think you said you have you have a softail slim? I have a softail standard. After some health problems I was wondering how you like them? Considering putting them on mine!
I just started riding this summer, I wrecked my bike watched it roll multiple times, then I fixed the bike and have put a 1000 miles on it since, this is my first bike its a vulcan classic and so far love it, love you channel
I live in California and to be honest I see everything here. My preferred choice of bikes are vintage inspired choppers. One that look straight out of 60's-80's easy rider. Everyone loves to talk shit on hardtails but I love them. Most people do a lot of the Dynas and new softails, a lot of Hispanic rides do the heritage classics with 18" apes and spoked wheels. #Teamsportychoppers
I started with a 2007 Dyna Super Glide, then a Dyna Low rider. I graduated to a Heritage Softail. I had the Heritage and a Spyder F3. Traded those in to get a Street Glide, which is what I currently ride. I rode everywhere on my bikes. I commuted to work with them.
I know a diamond club member who likes chopping Japanese bikes, his exact words were "I'm not going too cut my Brand New Harley when I can get 5 old Japanese bikes and make a really fun chopper." He has this sweet custom Honda/Kawasaki/Suzuki (Suzuki forks,, Kawasaki frame and a Honda motor) he built from 3 wrecked bikes.
Here in The Philippines, one of the big clubs mostly rock Clubstyle Dynas. Other big clubs prefer Kawasakis and Softails. Then there's a lot of Roadkings, Fatboys and Sportsters for 99% patched and none patched bikers. Much love and respect to Demons Row and everyone around the world! Keep it #GHOSTIN
@@DemonsRow The scene here has been growing over the years, new local MCs also popping up. There's been some parties thrown lately with everyone there. It's great because there's always that mutual respect with everyone.
I love the Softail slim S had a 2017 s with the SE 110ci loved it, truck ran me and the bike over. 2017 road glide was totaled on the highway when I hit a dog at 75+mph, so now im rolling on a 2018 Ultra limited. Victory cross country tour was my favorite bike period!! my favorite HD was my road glide with 2 bad shoulders now, That frame mounted fairing makes a huge difference for me. Keep up the awesome work brother #ghostin
#ghostin, I have my 2015 softail slim. Love my bike. But it's all about what you can afford and just being on 2. Love the information tho. Much respect for what you do. Keep it up.
Not in an Mc, but have ridden quit a few different bikes in my time and the 2013 victory cross country I finally got last November has been by far my favorite bike to ride.
#GHOSTIN 💯👊 You're right Sose, I'm California born and raised and HD is what's mostly out there and HD customs. Dynas, softails, road kings mostly definitely but lots of customs and low riders. Looking forward to seeing an updated full walk around video of your bike Sose! The videos you've put out where you show your bike have definitely left lots of GHOSTS wanting to see more I think. Much respect!💯👊
@@DemonsRow plus for about $3500 you can make the 106 into a reliable rocket. I have 2 one is the hammer for cruising around town and a Cross Country for the long runs. I wont trade them for anything plus they fit bigger framed people really well.
Great vid Sose, I love my Triumph Tiger 800 adventure bike. I can tour for miles fully loaded then take it off road if mood takes me. If I had the spare cash I would love to add a HD to my garage... #Ghostin from the UK
The BMW S1000RR might be just under 1000cc but it is absolutely insane, and makes North of 205 horsepower. That thing is a rocket ship lol 21 seconds to reach 300km/h (186mph) with a 10.1 second 1/4 mile at 150+mph I ride all kinds of bikes, but my American made bikes are a 1992 HD Fxr super glide 1340cc, 2012 HD Road King 103ci and a 2018 HD Sportster 48 with an S&S 1250cc. They are all a blast but admittedly I have spent the majority of my time building the Sportster as of late (as you can see on my page lol)
In my area ( Massachusetts) it's all kinds. I see guys in clubs riding Softails, Dyna, Street and Road Glide and Road Kings . ..love your videos. Keep up the great work ML&R 💯🤘🏻
I’m still rockin my Vic Highball, just one of two in my mc to have a Vic, HD for everyone else. I might get an HD sometime, but I’m never getting rid of my Highball.
#Dynas Harley Dynas are some of the most popular club bikes I’ve ever seen. In my area, #StreetGlide is one of the most popular bikes especially in the clubs where them cats ride long distance. Gotta love the Midwest.
Great article imo… dude i love the new intro! As for me I think my next bike will be a Slim or Street Bob 114… lil modern lil vintage. Love the 70’s inspired look
#GHOSTIN' - I see quite a few Wideglides w/ Shovelheads around the MC's here.....I myself chopped up 2 frames & built mine, so I guess you can call it a Yamaglide With a late model Shovel & its a rigid....Its registered as a Yamaha (for cheaper insurance) because of the neck serial VIN
#GHOSTIN I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan. I will be picking up some kind of Harley in the springtime though, not quite sure, whatever feels right. I have to edit and add on here. I found a picture from 2 years ago where I tagged ghostin so I know I've been following you for at least 2 years.
2001 Sportster 1200, bobbed and customized heavily. Next up: 90ci Hammer performance engine into that bad girl. It's a bit of a PITA on long hauls, but I can't give it up.
#Ghostin Hey Sose, I'm in a 1% support club but I ride a Softail Deuce and love it. Get a lot of ribbing from brothers for not riding a bagger but I love the handling and feel of my Softail. Won't be on a bagger anytime soon...
It’s very different in the UK, roads are different than in the US and the weather is always shite! Shiny Harley customs usually mean you don’t do the miles. So many clubs seem to have forgotten the “motorcycle” part of MC and too many don’t ride many miles. In the old days it was a matter of pride to ride year round. I’ve been riding since the late 80s my dad and my uncle were ton up boys in the 50s. It’s in the blood. I ride year round to go to work and as my preferred transport - my main bike is a BMW r1200gs. It makes you happy to ride in the cold the wet and on shitty roads. My ‘bike meet’ bike is my Moto Guzzi 1100 cafe racer I built myself. Knowing how to work on your bike has to be at the heart of the culture. Suzuki Bandit 1200, Yamaha XJR13 or Suzuki GSX14 are all pretty common in the UK club scene. Interesting channel we do things differently in the UK L&R to you and all your followers
Here in Central Florida I ride an 84' fxst softail standard w/ 4-speed kicker and 17" ape hangers. 1st year of the Softail, Evo engine, and the year Harley bought Harley back from AMF.
#I like the Softail Custom (Beyond the Law Charlie Sheen bike) It always had a biker look and feel. Had one back in 08! Skinny front wheel with 200mm rear. Wish HD would bring it back. The new Softail Standard just doesn't do it for me! Be safe Sose
Victory folded when Polaris bought the Indian name and didn't want to deal with two companies. Indian actually runs a lot of Victory technology and look. The new liquid cooled bikes are running a design created by Victory just before folding. Victory also got their look from Arlen Ness, who designed their bikes. I am an #FXDWG owner, I love my Wide Glide, and will rock that long lady forever. I want a Road King one of these days. I am not a huge fan of fairings on a bike.
Thanks, article wasn't too far off. Remember, bugs all taste the same, no matter the bike. Been legally riding since '75. Current ride - 67 FLH... like riding a couch down the road. Stay safe, ride well...
Man's literally got the name of an outlaw and he's a legend and I'm sure there are 1%ers who are like hey man my buddy's got a bike made by Jesse james it's bad ass. Jesse's not a 1%er but he IS a true outlaw.
I've lived out West, MidWest and Dirty South. Most bikes I've seen depends on length of riding. As you ride you find your preferences, I've seen older riders usually on softails for a more comfortable ride cause that hardtail is hell on the back. My first was a '77 Sportster and now I have a '12 Fatbob and love it. Saves this old broke soldier's back.
Here in Europe, the normal in an MC is HD, mainly the Baggers, Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King but of course, there are also other HD models as well as Indian and Victory!
Rode my Triumph back in the 70s (with many in between) and the last 10 years, my Road Glide. Can’t do forward controls anymore due to back issues so giving the new BMW R18 Classic a shot. So far I’m pleased with the ride and the overall power/torque. Doesn’t compare to my RG on long hauls though.
In my chapter we mostly ride Flht's or Flhx's, very comfortable on them long hauls out of state visiting other chapters! Plenty of storage( added chopped paks) extended saddlebags, and plenty of room for music, speakers, etc.....!!! ML& R from Zulus MC Nation
Polaris consolidated Indian and Victory. Both good bikes. My main ride is a #Sportster, with a dressed #Lowrider #EVO for touring and long runs. There are several 1% clubs in Southern California that exclusively ride sport bikes, and a few that ride dual purpose and adventure touring bikes, and I know of one diamond wearing stunt crew that ride Groms. Outlaw racers (people doing non-AMA racing) ride a lot of CZs and JAWAS on speedways, and XLR-750 Sportsters are popular for that, too. Most 1% clubs here like big bikes, a lot of Road Kings and Road Glides, and an Electra Glide here and there. Street glides are not as common. The other really popular bikes are Dynas, then Softails, though chopper and Vicla guys like the softails and the big (1200) Sportsters. Personally I prefer my Sporty. It's kind of ridiculously hot rodded, but I'm an old racer so it fits me.
I'm not a club member or have ever been, however in New Zealand and Australia a lot of the boys around here down under love VRods and I gotta admit they're nice bikes
My current ride it's a 2003 Harley Davidson anniversary model deuce. I own a couple of different models that my favorite was my 1989 FXR with 120 CI MOTOR.
#ghostin in Nevada. I've ridden a '04 Dyna Low Rider, a '19 Softail Low Rider, but now I ride and love the #FXR I currently have an 89 FXRS Low Rider that's "slammed" and I plan to get one of the "touring" FXRs like the FXRT and FXRD, or the FXRP. They can be updated with bigger Evo style motors from companies like S&S, and even fitted for Twin-cams. Shout out to the Buell designed FXRs. Harley's best handling motorcycles! As far as what clubs are riding in my area, I sure see a lot of Glides these days.
I always feel you can be an Outlaw Biker even if you are not in a club. It is in your blood you just do you. There is a lot of people that ride just as hard as an outlaw biker if not more. I have respect for all of them for many reasons. Ride hard play hard. But show respect to all who ride. I do love my Road King. I enjoy feeling that wind and when I am done doing a long ride I love the feeling I have from fighting the wind. MLL&R shiny side up
@@SoseTheGhost Fact's Everyone has a preference but you made perfect sense on What you ride depending on where you live. I never thought of that. Great point
My bike right now, my first bike in fact, is a 1981 Suzuki gs850 gl. It may not be a big beast, but i am having an absolute blast on it. In regards to Harleys, I think they are fantastic bikes but I think you pay for the name mostly on Harley.
I ride a 2,000 Harley Sportster 1,200. Single spring seat, black Paco springer front ending, everything port and polished weld filled squish ring to get that bathtub shape around valves. 2.1 pnut tank military green tiny front fender military green, chopped rear fender with a raw High sissy bar with natural petina. Homemade round oil bag mostly rust and sealed with clear. Z mini hangers black. Chrome spoked wheels with the super thick and high sidewall bias ply type tires! I had a choice between building that or getting a soft tail narrow glide springer with an S&S 96ci, and I went with the sportster and wouldn’t change a thing if I had a second chance!
I been riding for about 15 years and currently ride a Boulevard as well. Has the look of a Fatboy 114 for half the price and I haven’t had any issues with it.
#GHOSTIN Saludo Boricua. Dang brother, there are a bunch on channels throwing hate at you. Hate to see that. Keep up the positive content and rocking the boat!
Harley Davidson heritage Springer. Very new to riding and got her by happenstance when my cousin passed away and my uncle was looking to keep her in the family
The Triumphs are awesome, Rocket 3, true raw power. And just a bit of info H and Ds parents came from the UK, immigrants from England and Scotland. It's amazing how many people weren't aware of that.
I can't lie. My first bike was a '96 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 D classic. After enough of riding it with my great love for it but kept having back problems because it became a little uncomfortable to ride. I traded it a month ago for a 2010 Harley Davidson Electra glide ultra classic flhtcu to enjoy my rides a little more. Radio is a plus too
It's a tough 1 out here in Northern California. 4 me its #Dyna all day!! But 4 real I believe it's with the age us youngsters stay on them dyna's but the og be on them glides. Another solid 1 Sose #GHOSTIN
#ghostin I feel in Miami they all love riding baggers (street glides, road kings, and road glides) but you’ll have your crews with their Dynas but fuck it we all ride. dope video bro
#ghostin my ride is a 2021 roadking special 114..in the UK there is a mix of bikes in clubs, Triumph, Harley, Buell, indian, Victory and some yam cruisers and Kwak cruisers Much love brother
I ride a 18 road glide special. That’s my bike I hit the highway on. I also have an 08 softail custom. I bar hop on that one and ride nice and comfy. My favorite bike I’ve ever owned was a 99 night train with the 1340 evo.
I was set on a Harley VRod Muscle but I'm leaning more towards a Triumph Scrambler or Bonneville. Not much of an outlaw but I do like my motorcycles, lol.
I grew up with Erik Buell. His form was over the hill from where I lived we hunted and rode dirt bikes there. You was a few years older like my oldest brother's age. Gibsonia Pennsylvania Richland Township. USA🇺🇸

Much love to you and the philippines whats the scene like out there?
@@DemonsRow The scene here has been growing over the years, new local MCs also popping up. There's been some parties thrown lately with everyone there. It's great because there's always that mutual respect with everyone.
I love the Softail slim S had a 2017 s with the SE 110ci loved it, truck ran me and the bike over. 2017 road glide was totaled on the highway when I hit a dog at 75+mph, so now im rolling on a 2018 Ultra limited. Victory cross country tour was my favorite bike period!! my favorite HD was my road glide with 2 bad shoulders now, That frame mounted fairing makes a huge difference for me.
Keep up the awesome work brother #ghostin
#ghostin, I have my 2015 softail slim. Love my bike. But it's all about what you can afford and just being on 2. Love the information tho. Much respect for what you do. Keep it up.
You can afford whatever it is you put your sites on
Softail slim gang represent!
Not in an Mc, but have ridden quit a few different bikes in my time and the 2013 victory cross country I finally got last November has been by far my favorite bike to ride.
my current ride in an HD Fatboy. i've ridden the softail custom, and a 1200 sportster, but this fatboy is my favorite. the 103 has plenty of power.
Def the fatboysare dope pause lol
#GHOSTIN 💯👊 You're right Sose, I'm California born and raised and HD is what's mostly out there and HD customs. Dynas, softails, road kings mostly definitely but lots of customs and low riders. Looking forward to seeing an updated full walk around video of your bike Sose! The videos you've put out where you show your bike have definitely left lots of GHOSTS wanting to see more I think. Much respect!💯👊
Malo from jrs custom did a paint job maybe i should do a walk around before you got me thinking
I got a 2012 Victory Highball, definitely an excellent choice. 😊
Awesome bike even in stock condition.
Dope bike stock it was a harley tricked out
@@DemonsRow plus for about $3500 you can make the 106 into a reliable rocket. I have 2 one is the hammer for cruising around town and a Cross Country for the long runs. I wont trade them for anything plus they fit bigger framed people really well.
I love my 13 King. The Heritage is most popular in my club. And perhaps the AZ scene.
Great vid Sose, I love my Triumph Tiger 800 adventure bike. I can tour for miles fully loaded then take it off road if mood takes me. If I had the spare cash I would love to add a HD to my garage... #Ghostin from the UK
If i get a 2nd it would probably be a glide
@@SoseTheGhost road , or street ,ultra limited?
I ride a 96 Honda Shadow 1100 American Classic Edition. Owned it since new. Made in Marysville OH.
The BMW S1000RR might be just under 1000cc but it is absolutely insane, and makes North of 205 horsepower. That thing is a rocket ship lol 21 seconds to reach 300km/h (186mph) with a 10.1 second 1/4 mile at 150+mph
I ride all kinds of bikes, but my American made bikes are a 1992 HD Fxr super glide 1340cc, 2012 HD Road King 103ci and a 2018 HD Sportster 48 with an S&S 1250cc. They are all a blast but admittedly I have spent the majority of my time building the Sportster as of late (as you can see on my page lol)
Yea that is crazy speed
In my area ( Massachusetts) it's all kinds. I see guys in clubs riding Softails, Dyna, Street and Road Glide and Road Kings . ..love your videos. Keep up the great work ML&R 💯🤘🏻
Thanks jay
My 1st hog was a King. But now, I'm on my 3rd RG. Most everybody I know is on a type of glide. 1934 DFFD
Yea the glides might be #1 right now
For me it’s all about that Night Train life. 2008 FXSTB. Nothing special about it but it was the bike that made me fall in love with Harley Davison’s
Nighttrains are dope
I’m still rockin my Vic Highball, just one of two in my mc to have a Vic, HD for everyone else. I might get an HD sometime, but I’m never getting rid of my Highball.
Highballs dope
Love the mighty victory bro🤙
Ha, when I was living the club life I had a 74CI shovel head chopper, also had a fully restored HD UL 80 inch flat head.
#Dynas Harley Dynas are some of the most popular club bikes I’ve ever seen. In my area, #StreetGlide is one of the most popular bikes especially in the clubs where them cats ride long distance. Gotta love the Midwest.
Def true
Great article imo… dude i love the new intro! As for me I think my next bike will be a Slim or Street Bob 114… lil modern lil vintage. Love the 70’s inspired look
Thank you 👊👊👊
#GHOSTIN' - I see quite a few Wideglides w/ Shovelheads around the MC's here.....I myself chopped up 2 frames & built mine, so I guess you can call it a Yamaglide With a late model Shovel & its a rigid....Its registered as a Yamaha (for cheaper insurance) because of the neck serial VIN
Smart man
Unreal content as usual. Because of you I bought the 2019 lowrider as I'm a short ass. I'm an absolute Harley fan. Keep up the great work. Much 🙏
Wow for real brother congrats smash that like button
#GHOSTIN I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan. I will be picking up some kind of Harley in the springtime though, not quite sure, whatever feels right.
I have to edit and add on here. I found a picture from 2 years ago where I tagged ghostin so I know I've been following you for at least 2 years.
Vulcans are dope if i wasnt a 1 i wouldve got the cheapest dopest bikei could find lol
2001 Sportster 1200, bobbed and customized heavily. Next up: 90ci Hammer performance engine into that bad girl.
It's a bit of a PITA on long hauls, but I can't give it up.
#Ghostin Hey Sose, I'm in a 1% support club but I ride a Softail Deuce and love it. Get a lot of ribbing from brothers for not riding a bagger but I love the handling and feel of my Softail. Won't be on a bagger anytime soon...
Its called standing out the crowd zombies hate it lol
@@DemonsRow Right? LOL
It’s very different in the UK, roads are different than in the US and the weather is always shite! Shiny Harley customs usually mean you don’t do the miles. So many clubs seem to have forgotten the “motorcycle” part of MC and too many don’t ride many miles. In the old days it was a matter of pride to ride year round. I’ve been riding since the late 80s my dad and my uncle were ton up boys in the 50s. It’s in the blood. I ride year round to go to work and as my preferred transport - my main bike is a BMW r1200gs. It makes you happy to ride in the cold the wet and on shitty roads. My ‘bike meet’ bike is my Moto Guzzi 1100 cafe racer I built myself. Knowing how to work on your bike has to be at the heart of the culture. Suzuki Bandit 1200, Yamaha XJR13 or Suzuki GSX14 are all pretty common in the UK club scene. Interesting channel we do things differently in the UK L&R to you and all your followers
Victory bikes are still made they are just badged Indian now. Polaris owns Indian and they owned Victory also
Thats true
Here in Central Florida I ride an 84' fxst softail standard w/ 4-speed kicker and 17" ape hangers. 1st year of the Softail, Evo engine, and the year Harley bought Harley back from AMF.
#I like the Softail Custom (Beyond the Law Charlie Sheen bike) It always had a biker look and feel. Had one back in 08! Skinny front wheel with 200mm rear. Wish HD would bring it back. The new Softail Standard just doesn't do it for me! Be safe Sose
I gotta check that one #Gho⚡tin Smash the like 4 me
Fxr is the bike that dominated the scene for yrs
Where at?
Victory folded when Polaris bought the Indian name and didn't want to deal with two companies. Indian actually runs a lot of Victory technology and look. The new liquid cooled bikes are running a design created by Victory just before folding. Victory also got their look from Arlen Ness, who designed their bikes.
I am an #FXDWG owner, I love my Wide Glide, and will rock that long lady forever. I want a Road King one of these days. I am not a huge fan of fairings on a bike.
Me neither i like where the apes can be seen clearly
I'm not a fan of fairings or big steroid, I wanna hear the big v-twin, not some racket from a seaker
Do they allow people to patch riding Indian bikes?
@@MyRottweilerKobe I don't know. I am a Lone Wolf, and have zero club experience. They are American owned.
Almost bought a wide glide the other day. Way cool bikes
Thanks, article wasn't too far off. Remember, bugs all taste the same, no matter the bike. Been legally riding since '75. Current ride - 67 FLH... like riding a couch down the road. Stay safe, ride well...
Bugs still taste the same i love that lol smash the like button
Next couple weeks podcats will be coming
Facts
#2003 HD Softail Standard tricked out and #2015 HD Ultra Limited, is what I ride. You’re on point about West Coast rides!
Def does
Man's literally got the name of an outlaw and he's a legend and I'm sure there are 1%ers who are like hey man my buddy's got a bike made by Jesse james it's bad ass. Jesse's not a 1%er but he IS a true outlaw.
Hes def a heavyweight
@@DemonsRow heavyweight not an outlaw
@@Giodagr8 who gives a shit, what are you the outlaw police?
#ghostin #roadking love my FLHR’s. I’ve seen a lot of outlaws on the east coast riding them more and more.
Blessings all around. Stay safe out there and in here, haters be fuelling up lol
Lol letem fuel up then
F a hater we getting to the bag out here
@@Timberbeartrail they still run outta gas lmao
I've lived out West, MidWest and Dirty South. Most bikes I've seen depends on length of riding. As you ride you find your preferences, I've seen older riders usually on softails for a more comfortable ride cause that hardtail is hell on the back. My first was a '77 Sportster and now I have a '12 Fatbob and love it. Saves this old broke soldier's back.
You tryin to say im old chesh? 😄😄
I'm 42 been riding since 15. It isn't age it's ride time. Older just means been riding longer for me.
Good show. I remember the Fxr and Fxd dynas being faster and more nimble than the baggers, Sonny had a Fxrt back in the day #ghostin in Florida
Nice
In my area I see a lot of Dyna Wide Glides on the road. I don't know if any of the outlaws use it here but it's a good ride.
Ride a suzuki m109 but looking at a street glide as my bike of choice. Love your channel by the way. Keep up the good work.
Thank you appreciate you
Here in Europe, the normal in an MC is HD, mainly the Baggers, Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King but of course, there are also other HD models as well as Indian and Victory!
I ride a fairly stock Softail Deluxe with a stage 1 kit, a Reckless batwing and a Klockwerks windshield.
Nice #Gho⚡tin smash the like for me
Rode my Triumph back in the 70s (with many in between) and the last 10 years, my Road Glide. Can’t do forward controls anymore due to back issues so giving the new BMW R18 Classic a shot. So far I’m pleased with the ride and the overall power/torque. Doesn’t compare to my RG on long hauls though.
In my chapter we mostly ride Flht's or Flhx's, very comfortable on them long hauls out of state visiting other chapters! Plenty of storage( added chopped paks) extended saddlebags, and plenty of room for music, speakers, etc.....!!!
ML& R from Zulus MC Nation
Is it tied with Zulu Nation?
@Demons Row no, we got our name from the actual Zulus Tribe in Africa, when we began back in 1969
Nice
@Demons Row we just an old school, All Male, All Black MC, we got chapters in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and N.Carolina
Polaris consolidated Indian and Victory. Both good bikes.
My main ride is a #Sportster, with a dressed #Lowrider #EVO for touring and long runs.
There are several 1% clubs in Southern California that exclusively ride sport bikes, and a few that ride dual purpose and adventure touring bikes, and I know of one diamond wearing stunt crew that ride Groms.
Outlaw racers (people doing non-AMA racing) ride a lot of CZs and JAWAS on speedways, and XLR-750 Sportsters are popular for that, too. Most 1% clubs here like big bikes, a lot of Road Kings and Road Glides, and an Electra Glide here and there. Street glides are not as common. The other really popular bikes are Dynas, then Softails, though chopper and Vicla guys like the softails and the big (1200) Sportsters.
Personally I prefer my Sporty. It's kind of ridiculously hot rodded, but I'm an old racer so it fits me.
I like victory better
@@DemonsRow They definitely had some great bikes but they're hard to find. People don't let them go once they have them.
I'm not a club member or have ever been, however in New Zealand and Australia a lot of the boys around here down under love VRods and I gotta admit they're nice bikes
Here in Milwaukee Wisconsin, it's all about the Road Glides. The Street Glides and Ultras are great. But Elite status is the Road Glides.
I am taking a hard look at the Indian Scout Bobber Twenty. The BMW R18 is pretty cool too. Polaris owned Victory and now owns Indian.
My current ride it's a 2003 Harley Davidson anniversary model deuce. I own a couple of different models that my favorite was my 1989 FXR with 120 CI MOTOR.
#Ghostin, Lovin my first Harley, 2007 Heritage Softtail Classic FLSTC! Great topic Sose, keep ‘em coming ✌️😎
Thank u brother smash that like 4 me
I ride an 06 883R, my first bike was a 94 883 sportster converted to a 1200 with a dyna glide tank. I like sporties,
#ghostin in Nevada. I've ridden a '04 Dyna Low Rider, a '19 Softail Low Rider, but now I ride and love the #FXR I currently have an 89 FXRS Low Rider that's "slammed" and I plan to get one of the "touring" FXRs like the FXRT and FXRD, or the FXRP. They can be updated with bigger Evo style motors from companies like S&S, and even fitted for Twin-cams. Shout out to the Buell designed FXRs. Harley's best handling motorcycles!
As far as what clubs are riding in my area, I sure see a lot of Glides these days.
I'm riding a 2020 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse... Definitely the bike I prefer... BTW I'm in Detroit wit it!!
Nice
I always feel you can be an Outlaw Biker even if you are not in a club. It is in your blood you just do you. There is a lot of people that ride just as hard as an outlaw biker if not more. I have respect for all of them for many reasons. Ride hard play hard. But show respect to all who ride. I do love my Road King. I enjoy feeling that wind and when I am done doing a long ride I love the feeling I have from fighting the wind. MLL&R shiny side up
I agree just wanted you guys to say what you believe so it doesnt sound like im just biased speaking on myself lol
@@SoseTheGhost Fact's Everyone has a preference but you made perfect sense on What you ride depending on where you live. I never thought of that. Great point
My bike right now, my first bike in fact, is a 1981 Suzuki gs850 gl. It may not be a big beast, but i am having an absolute blast on it. In regards to Harleys, I think they are fantastic bikes but I think you pay for the name mostly on Harley.
Thats true
I ride a 2,000 Harley Sportster 1,200. Single spring seat, black Paco springer front ending, everything port and polished weld filled squish ring to get that bathtub shape around valves. 2.1 pnut tank military green tiny front fender military green, chopped rear fender with a raw High sissy bar with natural petina. Homemade round oil bag mostly rust and sealed with clear. Z mini hangers black. Chrome spoked wheels with the super thick and high sidewall bias ply type tires! I had a choice between building that or getting a soft tail narrow glide springer with an S&S 96ci, and I went with the sportster and wouldn’t change a thing if I had a second chance!
I’m not an outlaw. New to the scene only been riding about a year. I’m on that Boulevard M109RLimited. #GHOSTIN!!!!!
nice ghostin
I been riding for about 15 years and currently ride a Boulevard as well. Has the look of a Fatboy 114 for half the price and I haven’t had any issues with it.
I agree with you about the FLS. That's my ride, too.
Good taste lol

Nice enjoy your ride smash the like 4 me
Harley Davidson heritage Springer. Very new to riding and got her by happenstance when my cousin passed away and my uncle was looking to keep her in the family
The Triumphs are awesome, Rocket 3, true raw power. And just a bit of info H and Ds parents came from the UK, immigrants from England and Scotland. It's amazing how many people weren't aware of that.
Its gotta be a "road king", baby !
Nice smash the like for me
I like your style and the way you speak as well. Interesting topic, I learned new information!
thank you blue
I can't lie. My first bike was a '96 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 D classic. After enough of riding it with my great love for it but kept having back problems because it became a little uncomfortable to ride. I traded it a month ago for a 2010 Harley Davidson Electra glide ultra classic flhtcu to enjoy my rides a little more. Radio is a plus too
It’s depends on the region. I’m in Texas so we get a mix. Lots of Glides, Kings, and now Club style Dynas
Yea texas is a place i never been i wanna see someday
It's a tough 1 out here in Northern California. 4 me its #Dyna all day!! But 4 real I believe it's with the age us youngsters stay on them dyna's but the og be on them glides. Another solid 1 Sose #GHOSTIN
Yea def true much love all day smash that like
#ghostin
I feel in Miami they all love riding baggers (street glides, road kings, and road glides) but you’ll have your crews with their Dynas but fuck it we all ride. dope video bro
I guess its the same mostly everywhere
2007 American Ironhorse Slammer w/124” SS. I also have a sport bike for when i start craving speed.
Nice
Harley also owns MV Agusta, Italian made.
Flh is most popular, I worked with corporate.
#ghostin my ride is a 2021 roadking special 114..in the UK there is a mix of bikes in clubs, Triumph, Harley, Buell, indian, Victory and some yam cruisers and Kwak cruisers
Much love brother

I ride a 18 road glide special. That’s my bike I hit the highway on. I also have an 08 softail custom. I bar hop on that one and ride nice and comfy. My favorite bike I’ve ever owned was a 99 night train with the 1340 evo.
That may be the most loved bike
I was set on a Harley VRod Muscle but I'm leaning more towards a Triumph Scrambler or Bonneville. Not much of an outlaw but I do like my motorcycles, lol.
I grew up with Erik Buell. His form was over the hill from where I lived we hunted and rode dirt bikes there. You was a few years older like my oldest brother's age. Gibsonia Pennsylvania Richland Township. USA🇺🇸
Wow thats cool
That's super cool lance..as a kid that's what we did was ride dirbikes shoot stuff and hunt ...
What happened to the 500 grand prix bike he built?
