I answer all the questions you won't to know about the Road King and why I took some of the actions and routes on my toughest Motovlog yet ! What parts were real and what was fake ? Also what happened to my Harley Davidson ? Like did the famous UA-camr Shadetree Surgeon actually steal my road king ??

I loved the vlog and was in cringe, so many times, and was always waiting for the next video. love ya brother.
Truly a fantastic series!
@@DAVIDTORRESANI Danny's videos are real though.
Anyone who thinks you are faking obviously has never spent any time alone on a motorcycle for a long period of time. Thank you Danny.
like how he set the camera up on himself in the interview no his not fake
62 and I consume UA-cam too Danny! You are a favorite channel! I have a Street Glide myself and am in New England. Now you make me want to take a summer across the USA. Go Danny Go! All the best to you brother…
Do it bro youl have the memory's with u for the rest of your days
don't change a thing Danny you have the best formula in camra work ,editing and adventure mate keep up the brilliant work !!
Danny boy me and my wife enjoyed all of your ups and downs. Your one hell of a rider from what I’ve seen. I’ve driven bikes all my life and started on dirt bike and have been riding street bikes and had the Harley night rod since 2016 and watching you with the road king made me want one. I bought mine in 2022 and love the bike. I’m a big guy 6’4 and I couldn’t imagine doing what you did off road was crazy and amazing to watch. Now my wife and me have been watching all your other vlogs and videos. It’s amazing on the footage you get and all the personal moments you have. I’m very impressed and can’t wait for more vlogs. Like you said Harley should give you a new one and put yours in a museum cause I’m sure your the only one to do that. God bless and hope you stay safe. Thanks again fro Jeff and Jodie from upstate NY!!
i'm a Harley owner.lady rider.i've watched all your vlogs and absolute love your adventures.try not to take heed of the trolls,they're just jealous :) keep being you Danny ! i'm a big fan of Shade Tree,before i found you but now im a fan and follower of Bob Head,and that's because of you ! lots of love from the UK x
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Daniel
Absolute Legend, started back riding at 65 years old and planning a trip across the US. Not going to find me sitting in a nursing home wishing!!!
You have given me a reason to stop drinking and smoking.
Gonna live my life and spend all the extra cash on riding my bike to amazing places .
Thank you Danny .
Hope to be see you back in Scotland again one day .
🏴 ❤️
Thank you , thank you, thank you, I'm 67 years old and want to say that you're an inspiration to me and many others!!
Love the interview so far. Whether you give money out to others during the trip or not is no one's business. You don't have to justify what you do with your money or what you don't do with your money. Love the VLOGS as I've said time and time again. Thanks for keeping it real......always!!!!!
Just a word of thanks for keeping us entertained this winter. We always looked foreward to the next episode.
Winter in Canada sucks and all I can do is look at my bike in the garage. My wife and I follow many motorcycle vloggers
but you Danny are our number 1 go to channel. Seeing your highs and lows and the honesty of your videos keep us tuned in and always wanting more.
We laugh with you, cry with you and sometimes laugh at you lol.
The footage and editing progression just gets better and better.
Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next vlog.
Thanks again, Vern
People say its fake because theyre jealous, they havent done it, theyre not doing it, they cant do it, Danny Hayes you've given so much fun and entertainment to so many, we love you brother, Danny from uk.
Love the vlogs and looking forward to whatever comes next. Keep up the incredible work. #1 motorbike UA-camr hands down.
Never doubted you and been a fan prior to the masses. Your comment mid-video about people telling you you can't motivating you more rings true to me as well. Would really love to ride and grav a coffee with you when in LA again.
Speaking as a guy also named Danny who rides a road king and is in his 50's, you are an inspiration, I love when you do these unheard of long distance trips. Not to mention Mexico, Central and south America are not always the safest places. Unfortunately I will never have the money for that kind of travel. But I do as much riding as possible and will continue to live through your videos for the trips I can't take. Can't wait until the next one. Cheers
With that kind of attitude you won’t.
Thank you so much Danny for taking us along on this fabulous journey to the Death Road and back. we binge watched it. Also don’t change at all I love how you turn the go pro on yourself with a mouth full of food and no hands on the bars. Love it all. ❤
I'm exactly the same, I fast-forward the scenery. I'm watching the video to see Danny's reactions and experiences more than anything else
Been watching your Vlogs for a couple of years now and love them. You’ve got me looking at big Harley baggers now.
I personally love the camera turn. You're bang on. If you wanna see the road and scenery, watch a million other motovlogs. The turn of camera shows humanity, emotion, and brings us into you're feelings and experiences in real time. I think it's great. Keep it up!
I will say this. Danny you truly inspired me to get on my bike and just ride. Life is full of ups and downs but you have to fight through because the light is at the end of the tunnel. This entire vlog proved that. Thank you for sharing this journey!
Some of my best therapy sessions have been done on bikes!🤓
The subs speak for themselves 😀 Fantastic series’s created for us all to view who can’t do what he is doing epic adventures. Keep it coming.
Yes i so agree ... But what i dont understand is why the subs are not so much MORE its crazy to know why not ?
@@andrewforbes146 yes I agree. But I wonder sometimes if he has been shadow-banned by UA-cam because of his criticism of the covid narrative?
Thanks Danny for your transparency,……we love that about you,…..
Excellent interview norm very well filmed excellent questions. Congratulations Danny on your success in real estate this year in Australia. Rest up and let's go. I'm already planning my next trip in my 5 star tent ha.
22:55 haha I know I was one that also asked that question! Danny seen the funny side, I knew he would he's a good egg. Cracking interview and really looking forward to the next trip, can't bloody wait!! *cough* Africa! *cough*
Incredible series, yes I’m just getting around to watching it many months later. But fascinating, entertaining, and fear- provoking lol. Cheers from the U.S.
It's because you are a man of many layers that your vlogs are so interesting. Your vlogs are fun, adventurous, picturesque, exciting and poignant. Never change Danny. Stay just as you are. You are probably the most authentic vlogger that I follow on UA-cam. 🙂
Danny! I took the ride with you after work, and I felt the same as you daily. I enjoyed the trip very much. Thanks and hope to meet you soon.
Spectacular series, & for what it's worth, I think the scenery is just sensational. Great work Danny, thanks for all the effort you put in. P.S. those brake pads were rooted! 😂
I love Norm. He is a bloody good interviewer and more importantly a bloody good friend who keeps you grounded. I can only envy what you have. I think this could be a regular PTR (Post Trip Review) segment.
I love watching your vlogs Danny. I binge watch because I’ve only just recently found you. Very entertaining and inspiring ❤
Thanks for doing this. It connects a lot of dots. I hope you keep doing what you're doing. It's unique and entertaining. It took me a while to overcome some of my criticisms of you, but it finally clicked. The things that used to frustrate me about your vlog are now the things that keep me coming back. There's nobody else doing what you're doing and I appreciate that. I am looking forward to your next big adventure!
Your the Boss Danny and your followers/fans can't wait for your next adventure. Cheers mate.p.s. love the shout out to Shadetree surgeon.
I think he’s amazing. Doing the stuff he did at his age on his own is just incredible.
At his age??? He's not even 50. I'm 50...and I'll be riding in Africa for 60 days, in 2023, as well as in the several of the areas Danny rode, in SA (for ~35 days). God forbid I do these things, in my old age LMAO. Fortunately, I'm healthier, stronger and more athletic than the majority of 25 year olds...
I think so too ,he's a legend and he brings out the best in people and the worst in people unfortunately..jealousy will always be an issue for people like Danny.
I know! He's a youngster who's not afraid of taking risks.
@@sthr2110 that’s brilliant mate👍. But you got to admit Danny done some crazy shit man.
@@threepwood56 ain’t that the truth 👍
Like many, absolutely love watching Danny’s adventures!!!
Another great video, have you heard of Peter and Kay Forwood from Victoria, who in 1996 started going around the world on a 1994 electra glide, 193 countries , and 15yrs plus later comming home each dec for Christmas then return to the bike, they did the Bolivian death road in November 2002, have mafe a few youtubes, not many, but as teachers they documented everything, including roadside drive belt changes, and all, keep up the great work Danny I love it mate
MDB my wig is blown off !!!.... people thought you were fake. Those people have not ridden. I've attempted to mimic your style in a video and can attest your the real deal. And you achieve capturing the emotion and action in your video. A phenomenal series . Thank you MDB.
I found you a few years back,and I could care less what people think about weather its staged or not ! I see the sheet you get into and no way is that staged. Just the work you do for Men's mental health and the G-Long Harley guys putting up with you is Gold in my view ! Now get busy on that next adventure Danny !
Both my wife and myself love your adventures and you are so right about living a life and looking back thinking I wish I had done more but being 70 and still biking I have no regrets.looking forward to any future escapades from yourself stay safe Danny
Danny and Norm, great interview.
Love the room you're setting up with your memories from your different adventures.
Marine one is the President's Helicopter.
I absolutely love your stuff. You make me laugh and even cry. Your hilarious. I look forward to seeing much more from you. Just catching up on all your work. I've been so low lately and watching your videos brings me alot of joy. Thankyou!
Danny you are a true artist. I enjoyed all 44 episodes was better than watching Yellowstone and I like that show! You created what we love to watch on our down time is people riding bikes and showing most of the content actually riding and that instant feedback while riding. We all prefer riding secondary roads when crossing country but those roads were off the chart! Thank you! Cheers!
Love your honesty and ability to show raw emotions at certain times. You are an inspiration and amazing role model. Thank you
I loved this honest and open response to the trolls. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you for taking us along on the adventure.
Really enjoyed the interview and the sorta behind the scene look at moto -vlogging.
.
Loved the interview. Love the channel. Danny you are insane. I want to throw things at the tv too but that’s good. Your stuff is riveting. Please keep it up. Many of us are living vicariously through you. Prayers!
I see absolute no reason why you have to justify who you are or what you do Danny Hayes. Keep being who you are - real - passionate successful and brave. I don’t ride motorbikes but my husband does - I am hooked on your blogs the places you visit and seeing you grab life by both hands. You are successful because you are you.
Watching Danny is like waiting for a car wreck to happen! been watching for years and still enjoy the adventures! Good job Norm!
I enjoyed every minute of your vlog. Absolutely love the way you roll…stay bless Danny🙏🏼🤜🏻🤛🏼
Very honest interview roll on the next one
Excellent interview. Keep doing what you want to do Danny.
Congrats man , I just spent the last 5 days watching all the vids of Bolivia , awesome job
Let's say one thing great Vlogs Great trips can't wait for the next adventure.
Has Harley come to their senses yet about sponsoring you.
Danny vlogs are badass and cinematic. He really takes pride in his work and adventures and it shows. Keep up the great vlogs. Can’t wait for the next big adventure vlog 👍😃
As a BMW GS lover, I admire and hats off for you Danny for your daring attitude and for the generosity. Well done, May God Almighty Bless you....
Congratulations from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺.
Your energy level is amazing….. fantastic videos…..
Solid interview, lots of stuff many of us have wanted to ask. Danny you're actually a pretty good listener, I expected you to interrupt a lot more, but it was Norm that I thought cut you off a lot.
When you have Molly Dixon riding with you on your next vlog . I'll be impressed! Lol! Love what you do man!
Million Dollar Bogan. Great interview with no ads. Danny, always wear gloves especially in cold weather to avoid getting Arthritis. You’re a legend👌
My wife commented on your room, expecting to see tons of photos of you - and was very surprised of the opposite ! You are truly a wonderful enigma Danny.
Your friends in Payson Arizona
Great interview 🏍️👌👍😎
I’m travelling with my bike in South America as well. Just reached Panama yesterday. And I have to say I didn’t like this Bolivia series. But I love your attitude and your video editing. It’s so emotional! And I enjoyed tons of other videos you’ve made. I like that you’re doing what fulfils you. Everyday I meet other riders who try to tell me that I’m not a real adventure rider, because I’m not looking for off-road everyday or because I’m sleeping in a hotel. I don’t care, they don’t have follow me. So, keep up your amazing work and stay the way you are! Best wishes, Jens!
danny you are a f... legengd mate ! a big thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us again and for being a real one and just being you !
Danny, you could not have found anyone who would out-do Norm for this wonderful interview. What a great wrap up to the best series ever!
Appreciate it mate.
Great interview Danny. The Bolivia Death Road Series is the best one to date.
I never understood why people think it's all "Faked Out" and not what actually happens. Screw the people that think it's all made up and you have a production crew, mechanics on call, and whatever else they might be saying. Anyone with any common sense knows you're the real deal!
You have created the most exciting, funny, suspenseful channel on UA-cam. Why you do not have millions of subscribers is a mystery.
As for as "Always Riding" I doubt he even knows how to ride a motorcycle much less have one. That's all I want to say about that idiot because all they want is attention because it's the only way they can get it.
I live in the USA and have watched every episode you posted riding your Harley and enjoyed each and every one of them.
Keep doing you (which I know you will anyways) and you'll keep your channel growing and become a sensation on the internet.
Thanks for all you do and I can't wait to watch the next adventure you go on.
From just 1 of your best fans!
Thanks for your honesty, I believe the Danny we see on screen is the real Danny, keep doing what makes you happy ♥️
I knew it! There is a camera man! Just kidding, I watch and truly enjoy every upload. Thank you.hi from Canada.
Wonderful, heartfelt interview both Danny and Norm...Thank you.
Danny makes me laugh AND cry...drawing parallels to my riding classic Brit bikes in India, I feel you. Just done a miniscule bit compared to you.
Just waiting for more from The Bogan...keep em comming !!
Thank you
On my bucket list of things to do is to meet you Danny and shake your hand. You are great and I love ya.
Awesome interview. Sometimes it can feel like a love hate relationship with you? But at the end of the Day Danny Hayes? I for one have the utmost respect for you. You are the real Deal. Ride to live...live to Ride. Love ya
❤
Danny, it's been a great series, so thank you for sharing.
As someone who didn't know your backstory, the business, big brother etc.. I just saw a bloke on a Road King doing stuff others don't dare to do.
So for me, it's great entertainment.
Keep doing what you're doing, ignore the haters and I look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Thx

Hey Danny, awesome series put together & well ridden, love all the series you weather you are riding in Australia or oversea, give me & all
other viewers to see what is out there in the wide world from borders to country's & how other people live & how they operate there, love
seeing all the different landscapes, but everywhere you go it show how many people are so helpful & with only speaking 4 words
KEEP THE ROADSHOW GOING & ADVENTURES ON THE ROAD KING 👍👍😍😍😎😎👌👌❤❤
Loved the quick, passive reference to the "Don't grunt" tattoo .... pissing myself here 👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is really good Danny - behind the scenes is perfect - keep it up!!!
Danny, I love your blog and I love to ride my Harley all over. If people can’t handle seeing you do crazy adventures they need to get a life. Keep going on with your adventures.
I would say that Danny's vlogs are wonderful as you can tell he loves what his doing! He is in touch with his emotions & also great at vlogging..
rawness music & phenomenonal at editing..🤟👊 Please DON'T over plan & make it predictable 🤣
Very interesting thanks. Love your work.
Keep it up, Danny. I love it. 👍🏻
Thank you for a great adventure Daniel, there was that moment you turned and picked up the bike again in the deadendstreet down to the river, after passing a few cars... there I saw and heard a Marine in "there is always that moment you think, this is it, I can't do this, but YOU CAN! always can do more, training kicked in. It's true, I was in the Navy too ;-) Daniel, you are a great guy, enjoy your orguyo (pride)
Danny what he does especially for those of us who struggle with severe depression, is a hero. One thing: he might want to have a reverse gear from Baker Drivetrain put on that bike. It might save some effort dragging the bike to turn it around on some goat trail in the Andes. Just sayin..not that I mind watching him get himself out of a pickle. His adventure sold me on Wilbers Suspension and Santoro crash bars (which he seems to go out of his way to use both a lot)
You will love the Wilbers, even when not doing the Bolivian death road
I miss seeing your videos every couple of days! Let's go get back out there😎
Look Danny or actually I should say to other subscribers, I had my doubts at the early days when I started watching your vlogs but honestly there is no a chance a bad person can end up with such an amazing friends like David, Colin, Vee and so many others. Thanks mate I just want to let you know that your vlogs really helped me go through the covid lockdown 🙏🏼
David and Colin are more business acquaintances. Maybe friends in a sense but real true friends? Doubtful. True friends are always by your side or available 24/7. You can talk intimately with them. I can't see him doing that with Colin. V left him. He's lonely. Kinda says it all
Good interview. The bit (at 16min approx) about the poncho is very true - it was THE iconic piece of clothing and totally captured the essence of your whole trip through Central and South America. I even did a painting of you wearing it, standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Andes. Sad that the vlog is over but looking forward to more of your adventures. Best of luck and thanks for the enjoyment.
Great job Danny !!
Darn, missed the live chat again.
What a wonderful discussion.
Good luck on the Sturgess ride
Yep, you sure did..
@@heidimehmet such is life. Of the the Bunya mountains tomorrow with a local group. 400+km round trip long way to go for lunch, ain’t it?
@@robertholland7558 Have a safe trip Robert and enjoy yourselves..
@@heidimehmet sadly due to health issues had to cancel.
But will ride again someday soon.
Gave me the opportunity to watch Danny selling a bike to a coffincheater and explaining the V8 valve system and stage 1 to 5 upgrade options.
Glad to hear there are more adventures planned for the future. Might even catch a rare Danny sighting at Sturgis in August. Doubt it 'cause it's a week long, but it'd be cool. Can't wait see what he gets up to in the future.
There's nothing new or unusual about the trip that MDB took from the USA, through Central America and into South America. It's a common motorcycle route.
What sets him apart is his naïve approach to planning, hyper-stylised theatrics for UA-cam content and a 'pay to play' attitude towards risk, backed up by an almost limitless credit card expense account. The latter element is probably a factor which brings into question the validity of the challenge, or a true adventure for many.
He's an Australian, which makes him relatable to many in his audience - but like many other aspects of what his content presents, is going to be hit and miss in connecting with anyone in particular. You can't be everything to everyone, as you say.
I've also travelled the world on motorcycle adventures and while my style is almost polar opposite - I still watch you!
Great interview Danny. Love your videos. They are entertaining. I loved the death road series. Once again anyone who has picked up a harely know that you are the real deal. My back every time i see you do that. :)
I've commented before, some good some not, but I enjoyed this interview whole heartedly. Keep it coming.
Thank you guys. Enjoyable and informative. Loved it!
Glad to see you looking fresh and healthy. Great stuff Danny!
Congratulations for sharing your true experiences, I understand your head space the best things in life aren’t always planned. When you don’t plan there’s no disappointments take things as they happen
That was Awesome Danny
Norm is cool .
Great sporting family 🥇
😊
I love your blogs. Very enjoyable and you make me laugh. Yoi make me cry. You are an inspiration. Thank you
Thanks again Danny just finished watching .Please carry on with the Vlog at home even once a week.
Have an ultra classic Harley ..disabled and can do short rides only ..thanks Danny for taking me on your adventures.
I just watched from when you were in Mexico till your flying the bike out and all i can say what i saw was freekin awesome. Thank you Danny. Ride safe
Love your blogs . Obviously you need a break but can't wait for the next one. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎
Great Stuff Danny! I think the next adventure needs to be you navigating the treacherous roads of Central Florida and surviving a campout with @shadetreesurgeon and the whole Brap Star Gang! LOL!
We can see your frustration and happiness and all that and yeah the food in your mouth whatever, i really could feel your emotions and pain and happiness your hunger, well done danny
