It’s Over For One Of My Harley’s! Which One Will It Be?

- Time to park one of these bikes for the winter 😢 But deciding which one to put away is harder than I thought it would be!
The Dyna is so convenient and easy to hop on and just go, but the weather is prime for riding shovelhead riding! I suppose this is what we would call a “first world problem”. 🤔
And, anyone who want's to send me pictures of their bikes, you can email me at:
redrider.canada.bc@gmail.com
PLEASE SEND LARGE CLEAR PHOTOS!
1080p x 1080p is the MINIMUM we can work with, so please do your best at making sure your photos are large and not blurry 🙂 And send more than one if you can as well!
Only motorcycle related emails please - sorry, but I just don't have the time to engage in personal conversations.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you DON'T want your bike highlighted in a future video showing viewers bikes then make sure to mention it in your email. Other than that, expect to see your bike in one of my videos!
If you would like my PO BOX address you can find it in the description to my channel by following this link:

Your comment about insurance in the States was misinformed, to a point. In the US, individual states have their own rules/laws concerning insurance. I think most states require some type of liability and injury insurance, but as I say, those regulations vary from state to state. Similar to helmet laws, some states have no helmet law, some states require helmets for riders under the age of 18 (or 21), some require helmets unless you have XXX dollars of personal injury insurance coverage, some states require helmets for all riders. It can sometimes be confusing to riders that travel from state to state, keeping up with individual state laws/regulations. Ride safe, enjoy your time on 2 wheels, and thanks for the videos.
Finally, someone who is NOT misinformed about the U.S. and our laws.
Thanks for the info!
Washington State didn't require any motorcycle insurance until couple years ago?
Love looking over the handlebars while you narrate an unnecessary ride. If that's even a thing!😊
Probably a democrat governor changed they have a way to mess things up for sure
Angel I hate to be the Dad here but you have got to slow down Young Lady. You follow too close and split traffic dangerously. But Van how can you say this ? Because I Love and Care for You! I want you on the roads riding safer. Nearly hitting that car should be your wake up call! We appreciate your videos but ignoring stop signs and rushing through traffic are not defensive riding techniques to stay alive. Please spend this winter considering; do you want to ride or ride a long time?
I've been there rushing through life and missing so much and nearly killing myself.
I'm glad you are making time to ride, i just beg of you to make the most by slowing down and enjoying the ride. Loki needs you as much as we do.
With Love and Respect, you are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
I dropped your name with Axle, Pray she gets in touch. She is always excited to know of more young woman such as you doing without a man in your life. We don't count your Dad, great as he is, he's more your ispiration and teacher out in the shop. YOU know so much more then 90% of the boys riding Young Lady. You impress me.
With Love, I pray this gets you new friends and contacts. Good Luck
Red Ryder give yourself more room don't follow so close to cars . Wanted to tell you this but thought you get mad . Them cars can stop a lot quicker than you . Enjoy watching you on U Tube! Think you great Angle!
Agree.👍
I often make the point that KNOWING I have worse brakes than anything in front or behind me keeps me safe....I know to give myself room ahead and I cannot stop quick enough to get rear-ended by anyone because of me stopping too quickly...even trucks.
Stop with the tailgating and lanesplitting Angel!!!
@@charlesmcgowen7238 I agree. Those videos are hard to watch. One of the last videos she changed lanes in every intersection she went through. Is that illegal? I can’t remember. But I don’t do it. Smitty.
When I'm on my shovelheads I stay well behind the vehicle in front. They just don't stop like a modern vehicle.
I think I'll just stay with black coffee straight from the pot
Hi 👋, Red Rider , thank you for sharing your ride out in the countryside, I’m not telling you what to do, please give the metal objects a bit more space, as you nearly had a Woopsie, could’ve been painful, and your bike will definitely need some repairs to it,
But I think we all have done it a moment of relapse , I remember once trying to get out of the way of an ambulance, I ended up nearly line my bike over, I was stationary, but I was trying to give the ambulance more room to get through traffic,
I don’t think Loki would like being in the cage , I think you’ll find it will make a lot of noise, like all of us being locked up in a cage,
Pumpkin Starbucks coffee latte , didn’t look, particularly appetising, I do like their normal lattes with soya milk, quite a few years ago I went to Chicago, for my sons wedding, in the winter time, I understand now why they call it windy city, I was very impressed Starbucks as there was one just outside the hotel that I was staying, they done a bread bun that they took the top off and filled with soup of your choice, it was very very Moorish, 😂 , looking forward to seeing the strip down, 😂, and fixing those nasty oil leaks, ride safe, catch you on the flipside as you say, 😂 Phil from the moulin,
You would not like florida....its too hot.
Agreed. Lived in FL for 20 years. Now in NC. Seems to be a good medium
Definitely would not like it haha... maybe for a winter vaycay though
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Yes...its perfect in the winter.....buts its full of creepy crawlies.
All I got to say is kickstart only bikes always warm you up before they start in freezing weather! Kick kick kick!!
Cold weather isn't much fun on a bike. Stay warm, and keep the rubber side down.
Every person that ever sold their shovelhead they always regret it
Never gonna happen for me!
Another wonderful ride! Sorry about your camera. They do overheat (just like the shovel)! Maybe it's the camera angle or watching on my phone but things are moving by pretty fast in the video. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying every one! Arizona high desert... can ride virtually year round. Cheap insurance too.
From the Vet.
I think it's the camera setting on wide lens that makes it look a little off.
Your original Handmade Bike is a collector's item for the museum - as both are loved, which is easiest and least cost to retain. Is this the season to let one go ?
Great to follow along on your local streets - Getting colder here in Indiana, and I'll be getting some fuel stabilizer soon for the softail custom. As for the crow, would be neat if you could look into having a small cam attached to him to see where he does go --And that could lead to a new youtube series!
That would be awesome if I could get something like that!
Thanks for the ride along, Angel. Only had my butt grip the seat once. 😮
Pucker factor!
😆
Haaa
Winter is fast approaching. The leaves are changing color very quickly where I live. Time to pull the windshield out of the closet and put it back on my Scout. Makes riding in the winter so much more bearable with it on. Insurance is required in South Carolina and I just bought another bike Saturday to add to my other two. A good ol' Kawasaki KLR 650. It's a used one an old friend had for sale. I couldn't pass it up. There's a lot of mountain dirt roads to ride! Yipee! I'm not a fan of sweet coffee. It's either black, or with just a splash of milk for me. Loved the video and glad Loki returned to his warm birdhouse! Ride Johnny Crash and stay safe!
Great last ride for shovel head Red, close to end for me too, we’ve been lucky in ft Mac to not 0:38 0:38 already had snow fall, glad lol came back , I think a cage would probably be good idea if you gradually introduced it to him, keep the videos coming👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In NC insurance isnt optional but we do have to have it year round. If we cancel insurance we have to turn our plate in... but insurance is cheap. I pay about 100 a year
I wish it were that cheap here
OMG you almost gave me a heart attack when you came up on that car ... I actually yelled out loud !!!
God bless you my sister in Christ, stay safe out there 🙏
Almost gave myself a heart attack too!
Hello Red! enjoyed going along with you on the ride... living in Texas the riding season really never ends. Hope you have a lot of riding days this winter! Keep the shiny side up! :-) jp
Thanks, you too!
Keep A stick..or Knife with ya... 2 stick down in the gas tank so you'll how much go-go Juice U got left
You looked disappointed after you tasted that coffee but glad Loki came home he probably seen you and came to see what you were doing 🤣 it was a nice ride
I will be putting Ruby in for the winter about the end of October. I already put stabilizer in the take not sure if I will run it low as I can or pop like 1 gallon in. Depends on the weather here. Awesome video thanks for sharing. ❤
Being from Arizona, we never have a winter where the bikes get stored. So I use my Evo for going to the store, and my Fat Boy for long rides..🤫
Red, i love the views on that ride !!! I spend my summers up in the middle of NYS, but i live in South Carolina the rest of the year. For the most part, i can ride all but maybe 45 days of the year. I almost jumped out of my seat when you came up on that car !!!! Please be careful, i love seeing that curly red hair !!!! Lol
thought you was gonna crash into the back of that car.
😅 😮💨
Dyna always gonna win. I mean, it has its pros and cons like everything in the world but the Dynas are lived for alot if reasons. Reliability is one. Specially if you do the upgrades for the compensator, timing chain guides depending on year and a little something with the camshaft endplay I think. Haven't done any of them to any of my bikes yet but getting ready to open up my 02 lowrider with 44k. Looking forward to it actually I am. As always..... keep on keeping on Sister ✌️🍀
Her dyna has an Evo engine doesn't have any of those problems, like the twin cams do !!
@@juniorcopeland9082 Hence me saying in my comment " depending on the year". I've not paid that much attention to the details of her bikes. Just generally. I like the fact she rides, fixes what she can, learn what she doesn't know and best of all? She just really seems down to earth, free spirited and compassionate where it counts. You take the motorcycles out of the equation and she's still one of the good human beings. Anyway I'm rambling. Evos are good. Your right. Way to point that out. Ride safe!✌️
@@ScottFree-dl1vy yes I saw where you stated that, I was just saying, for the people that didn't know, that her bike had an Evo engine and never had the twin cam problems, in my opinion the Evo engine is one of the most reliable engines made !! I've had Evo engines run way over a 100k miles on them without any major issues, you would be lucky to get that many miles on any other HD !! You really should check your cam chain tensioners, because that's about the mileage that the plastic material wears off, gets into the aluminum and destroys your engine !! Ride safe brother ✌✌And what you stated about Angel is very true, she is a very smart and fast learning gal, and a fast learner, and her dad is a very good mechanic and fabricator as well, as they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree !!
@@juniorcopeland9082 not true Sir, about the mileage. I only build Twin Cam engines in my shop and have seen tensioner shoes fail at less than 10,000 miles, and others that last 60,000 or more.
@@t.s.racing yes I know, depends on if you keep up the maintenance or not, and if you use synthetic oil, at what milage they fail, I'm just saying on the average 35-40k they are pretty much worn out...in my experience...not debating with you, just my observation, different people have different results !! Have a nice day sir !!
Damp girl you that was close pay attention please.
Insurance is not optional in NY. I pay $114 per year for my '87 FXR. That covers collision, theft, liability, everything. I totaled it in 2000 just after putting a ton of money in to it. State Farm wanted to give me a fraction of that for it. I begged them to cover the repairs and not total it. They gave in and paid for everything. It's the only claim I've ever had. I still have the bike.
Man, I pay $129 PER MONTH for basic insurance on one of my bikes 😤
Hey red nice little last ride around town always enjoy your videos sadly all bikes need tlc but that’s part of it lol I spent a lot of time in rock creek and the road between there and Kelowna through beaverdale is nice maybe that could be a ride for you on your evo … stay safe and keep the content coming great job 👏
Hey thanks! Yea I rode highway 33 a few times this year once on my shovel and a couple times on the dyna.
Hey, angel.
What do you do when it's snowing? Do you ride at all? Richard
Depends on the roads.
Coffee date with my Shovel......Epic! Do you put Non -Ethonal gas in your Shovelhead?
I put Chevron high test in
Last ride of the year for the Shovelhead...boo-hoo...
2 things in your video.
1) Traffic lights in Florida are the longest in the world, I think. And, when it's 115F in the summer here, you feel like you are melting.
And, 2) I live about 4 or 5 Kilometers from Disney World and the traffic here is CRAZY.
I don't even try to go out on the bike when I know it'll be super heavy.
I'm glad Loki came home. He knows he's got a good thing going living by you...haha
Peace. Eric in Kissimmee.
I can't imagine riding in that heat and traffic 🥵 🤮 I'm thankful for the country roads I have to get away on.
Actually, riding in the States without insurance is a big no-no also... that has become a bigger deal most places lately (depends on State)... here in Minnesnowta insurance is a must!
Does Caribou Coffee have a footprint in Kelowna? Caribou is a Minnesota Co. Their pumkin spice lattes are better than Starbucks IMHO.
I took both of my bikes to storage this past Saturday... sad day. 😢
😎
We don't have a Caribou Coffee here unfortunately 😔
Angel we do need ins in the states to drive legally ☹️
So lucky to have a Crow friend
That ole Shovel will appreciate the love you give this winter. Easier to keep clean as well. Look forward to the videos.
Thanks!
Insurance isn't optional in Texas but can't imagine canceling it for part of the year. So of course we just hop on any old time because we have insurance year round.
You guys must not really get winter either eh?
Jeez, I thought that my approximate 100 mile range before reserve light was too little.. you must be stoping at lot for fuel when on a proper weekend road trip.
Sure am! I need a fuel bottle.
Surely you will keep the one with the starter,I would think! Have fun and stay safe!😎✌️There’s no way I would ride my motorcycles without full coverage insurance! Motorcycle insurance is actually pretty cheap in Georgia! Full coverage on both my cycles was less than 300 a year! If something bad happens they are paid for! If you caused a accident and someone was killed and you didn’t have insurance you would be king sized screwed!😎✌️
🙂👍
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Our Ding-Bat president is about to get the USA into WWIII ! It could happen any day now! I’m praying it won’t happen but it’s getting worse every day!
He is doing crow things. Maybe he is looking for a crow posse .
I wonder if thier pink
You scared me,,, I thought you were going to sell the dyna. Don't complain to me about traffic, it's so bad for me in NYC, that a couple of times, I was forced to ride up the wrong way, on a one way street, on the sidewalk, to get to the post office. It's my fault. I could move out of here
That’s sounds horrible 😱
We also have fall in Texas most of the trees lose their leaves except for the Evergreens the grass turns brown in the fall this year the grass turned brown in the summer because of drought going through a little green up right now before winter then it will turn brown absolutely great riding weather now through December January and February are for die hards mostly even then some days are good to go summer is sometimes too hot I have seen people with a bag of ice on the handle bars it's called a Texas air conditioner lol. just a little what its like here. East Texas is mostly pine trees and Oak trees west Texas is mostly desert Mesquite and cedar trees and lots and lots of prickly pear cactus Central Texas has some of the best roads and Views in the whole state the Texas Hill Country is what most riders in Texas talk about
I think if I were to visit Texas then I would wait till the cooler months. Sounds like some good riding though!
Its not optional here, in NY the no insurance penalty is 8 dollars a day, in Ga there is a fine also for no insurance. If your stopped without ins you will be fined and the vehicle will be impounded, a that is expensive.
Not sure where I got the idea that it's an option 🤔
I had two wild crows that for years would tap my kitchen window every morning to get left overs then one year they just went away. My mother had a talking crow that was uncaged and just stayed by the house. I was a kid and thought all birds could talk.
I wonder why the crows left suddenly...
Can you take us on a night ride and tell us another scary story for Halloween? Or maybe in a dark garage with Loki by candlelight.
I'll see if I can come up with something!
Sorry you have to put up the Shovelhead, but just think how exciting it will be when take it out next year for its first ride!
Yep!!
A very entertaining video with a wonderful detour. 🖐️
✌️😁
Nice little putt, I really enjoyed it.
Shovel purring like a kitten 🍻
Oh yea 😎
Fine ride with beautiful fall colours. Thank you for posting ride safe and give that bike spme winter love 🙂...Harry
Always!
Stay safe Red 🙏
PANHEADS FOREVER
Yep. "57 FL here.
✌️✌️✌️
@@bobberguy1
I've owned my 50 Panhead for over 50 years now. Got her in 69 and still ride daily and to Sturgis every year. ✌
I lost my home and everything in 1999, worse day ever. Had a bad day and couldn’t go to your home and relax it off.
Man that would be horrible. I'm glad you are doing better now.
Id keep both, they dont make them models anymore, the Wideglide isnt available anymore over here long time, there IMHO the most comfortable ride, as I have the same model as you, enjoyed the ride, but I was concerned about lane splitting and right close behind cars, over here people open doors on purpose and slam brakes on thinking its fun, which can turn lethal, look after yourself mate👍👋 Cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻KC 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎✌👍
Yea, I can get a little over zealous sometimes. Thanks for the concern ✌️ And I kept em both, just parked for the winter.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC my pleasure and all good, understand winter there, same were we live in the mountains during winter, Cheers for the reply 👍 appreciated 👊🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸👍
Red you and the shovel head are the reason why I subscribed I can't have one without the other please never get rid of her .
🇺🇲😎👍🇺🇲
That shovel isn't going anywhere
Take the tag off the dyna and put it on the shovel if you want to go on a ride most cops are too stupid to know the differnce
Haha true. But the plate has to have a curve bent into it to fit the shovel
At least your winter doesn’t last 4/5 mont here in Quebec
Thankfully!
Any bike you want to part with give it to me. I'll give it a good home
😆
You would make a good mum Angel with what we have seen so far from you.
😊
I live in Washington state ✌️✌️🕊️🙏✌️
Oh man, I could not even imagine riding in that heat and especially with crazy traffic 😩 I'm thankful I live near a lot of back roads.
bloody Go Pro's lol... but there isnt any other camera that can do what they do when they work.....
doing the clutch on my 94 Softail today.. should be a easy job?? lol... bit close on the tail lol.. at least ya didnt hit it...
you need a Canadian Winter Down Under Red..... its getting nice here now.. cheers mate .. Knee's in Da Breeeeezzzzzeeeeee
gotta wonder if maybe he will fly south?
He has a warm house so I don't think he will lol
I could never choose between those 2 bikes, they are both fantastic. I love em both👍👍👍💯
The tree's look beautiful..
It's a nice area for sure!
Kind of you have changed to some one I don't know you have a great rest of your life hope the best of you and cat crow and your family 😢😢😢😢
Hard choice Angel. I am doing the opposite. My Softail needs more work than my Shovel. I haven't ever knowingly drank a latte period, but do enjoy Pumpkin Spice Cappachino's.
My turn to go told you it was about your bird and cat who left last year then puff you disappeared me I’ve never married no children I’ll send you a Christmas card and happy new years to you love all ways Red Rider ❤❤❤
hey Red took a ride today also had to put on a bigger coat wind chill was in the mid 50.s you can tell fall is in the air we get cold weather here on the east coast of south carolina but nothing like you get so ride when you can stay safe
Yep, getting colder faster now.
You need insurance in the states .. only liability, comprehensive is optimal.. we get the shaft too
Hello Angel. head up Westside rd sometime. You'll see lots of burned down homes just past Bearcreek (Traders Cove and further up to Okanagan Lake resort) Devastation up there. Pretty sad to see
Every Mother has to face the truth sooner or later Red.. Maybe your little Crow has grown up and got himself a Girlfriend ('Crowfriend' ?.. 'Chick' ?..) or worse still, when he comes home it's the 'Flight of Shame' after a one night stand ?!!.. I restored a couple of British bike 'specials' with my late Dad, he sold one but he left me the other in his will and I still ride it now (but coincidentally it's off the road needing some work too !..) - I know your Dad helped a lot with the build of your Shovel so I think it's a 'keeper', there's such a lot of you both in the bike that I think you'd really regret selling it, or even just taking it off the road permanently.. I know the Dyna (Jonny Crash) will probably be more reliable and have a longer range on a tankful etc.. etc.. but it just isn't.. A Shovel ! - Ride Safe !..
It was great to see your reaction to the Pumpkin Spice. Coffee….Black, iced or hot. That’s the taste. Shovel hibernation is always tough. Mine should have Velcro for all the times I’ve taken it apart in the winter. Ride Safe Red. Thanks for making this video.
Yep, pumpkin spice coffee isn't all it's hyped up to be
I can't believe how close you got to that vehicle. You scared me try a peppermint mocha from Starbucks.
It's one of my favorites.
When was the last time your were pulled up just ride it. Over here it $600 a year to register a bike but the fine is only $200 and I I havnt had a ticket in 6 years saved myself a fortune not registering any thing lol. 😁🇬🇸👍
This concept of putting up a bike simply because Winter is coming is so odd to me; here, we ride all year around. Oh, and "traffic?" What is that?
That was an awesome cruise & beautiful scenery, so easily to be distracted while cruising.
I felt it would be your Knuckle Head that would be rested, as you have mentioned a few time's re maintenance of the ole boy.
Yep, old thing needs work.
FN1ST!!!! I'M gonna say UR Shovel head!!!
I have also wanted to say something about following to close to cars. Those people don't care about us riders. Be careful..... Great video!!!!
A date with your favorite motorcycle - what could be more romantic!? A few kilometers away from me there is a good convenience store where they sell great hot chocolate and hot dogs, I like to arrange dates there and while the hot chocolate cools down a little, I wipe the sweaty motorcycle with napkins from the oil ❤
I use to think the hell with getting rear ended. Pass pass pass Idk. It’s a good idea until some stabs breaks on ( rice can go under) without me.
Where are the oil leaks on your Shovel? Update: Never mind I posted before finishing the video, you said the leak was on the pushrod tubes ?
Pushrod tubes and a man seal in the tranny.... And probably other leaks that I haven’t noticed yet haha
@@RedRiderCanadaBC if you take your sprocket off your main shaft you will probably see 2 holes in the case where the shaft comes out, they are notorious for leaking oil, in the splines on the main shaft behind the sprocket, what I do is fill the splines on the shaft behind the sprocket with silicone and then put your sprocket on after, and that will seal it !! Hope that helps 😘✌
Thanks!
Some streamers are switching to DJI cameras and they have drones as well. ❤😊
Got to keep the Shovel ❤ sorry thought you were selling one
Nope!
Robin is totally correct.. give yourself more room away from cars
Sadly we have to have insurance on all of our vehicles or risk getting a big fine in the states.
Are the cats and the bird friends?
They tolerate each others presence lol
Your riding has degressed a lil , enjoy the ride and look cool 😎. Live long and ride free!
We need insurance in the states too it’s mandatory and it’s high priced too
Nice roLL 🇨🇦👍🏻
Thanks 👍
I could always keep the wheels warm for you, year round here in So Cal.
💜😎
That pumpkin latie sounds good right about now in louisana
Yeah insurance prices suck and so do red lights. ✌️
Use your plumber stuff. Pipe dope.
Get a crow call maybe you could call his friends in
Hello.
Hello 👋
My old Suzuki thinks its a harley, leaks too
My rides are getting slimmer n slimmer as fall starts
Very beautiful countryside
damn the dream women really does exist damn
Red, you ol' Click-Baiter, you!! Tryna give us all a light-weight heart attack!! "Oh NO!! Red's sellin' one of her CHILDREN!!!" Ha, Ha!! Just kiddin"! Enjoy your riding time!
Lol I suppose its a little click baity haha
It seems to me that the wide glide is much smoother than the springer, only problem is, springers are so cool right? Just make sure you keep thar springer greased and check spring tension at least twice a season, because HD engines like to loosen things, and you don't want anything loose on a springer! I've lost dear freinds because they didn't check the forks often enough, I use locktite on the threads every time I work on em to save lives.
Yea I really love old springer front ends. And thanks for the tips 👍
havin a backup bike wud b s000 c000l!!
✌😘
