- This is Day 3 of my road trip on a rented 2021 Harley Davidson Heritage Softtail. On Day 3 I planned a 8 hour ride from Frisco to Grand Lake, through Rocky Mountain National Park. I exited the park at Estes Park and headed south to Idaho Springs and up Mount Evans and then back to Frisco Colorado. The weather was beautiful, and I got some close encounters with some friendly Rams. It was a great day ride.
Wow . I am a couple months late, but I am enjoying your trip. I will put this in my "Bucket List" for the future.
If you ever go to Colorado I recommend using the Eagle Rider motorcycle rentals in “Downtown” Denver. Great guys to work with and easy to jump on the highway and get to the mountains quick.
Love your videos I think we would make good friends because I cannot say no to a donut or any cake lol keep up the good work
It’s not everyday you get a Pikes Peak donut. You gotta have one.
Thanks for the ride along and video
Thank you for watching. I hope to have more videos this summer.
Another great video, well done!
Looks like a great place for motorcycle riding. ✌️
Born in the Adirondacks, now living at the Himalaya front range at Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India...mountains are beautiful. A Heritage is a great way to see them. Please tell us more about your experience with your Harley. Nice flick!
Yikes...that drop!
For the sake of curiosity. Is it legal to ride without helmet on every state in the US or just in some places? Btw, great videos of the trip and awesome bike!
Thank you. Every state has its own helmet laws and the details of the law can vary. Here in Wisconsin you are required to wear a helmet if you are riding with a learners permit and not yet fully licensed as a motorcycle driver or you are under 18 yrs old. If you are licensed motorcycle rider and above 18 years old, wearing a helmet is your choice. Some states every rider no matter age or experience is required to wear a helmet. Thanks for watching!!
@@Badgerbiker Thank you for the detailed explanation! Looking to buy HD Heritage too. Love to take the road
Nice buddy good video, I have a question about your bike can you please tell me how he handle twisties.
@@sejttan I thought it did very well. I’ve heard some people complain about the Heritage lack of lean angle and scraping floorboards everywhere but I found it to be just plenty capable of sharp switch backs without any dragging of the boards. The bike has a very low center of gravity that makes it very easy to maneuver even loaded up with gear and at low speeds. Handling wise I’d give it 5 stars!
Nice Vid! What's the trip for this summer? Head north to Duluth, take 2 west as far as ya can. Hit Glaciers Going to the Sun Road, then down to Beartooth Pass. Head up towards Bonners Ferry and take 2/20 all the way to the Puget Sound. Lemme know when you are around!
That sounds like a great trip
I just bought the exact same bike and I'm taking a trip to Colorado the end of May. I was wondering what kind of fuel mileage you got
Avg 42. But it was completely stock. It also pinged a lot at altitude. Not sure why but only high in the mountains did it ping even with high octane gas. Beautiful bike though. I honestly thought about trading my Street Glide in for one. But I like the hard bags on my street glide better. That’s my only complaint.
I just bought one myself. I live in Colorado and am taking it out this weekend.
@Wisconsin Backroad Bikers the Heritage has hard bags with fake leather covers. You get better gas miles if you fit a thundermax ecu s&s air cleaner and s&s 2 into 1 exhaust.
@@therealrobertbirchall I believe it performs better with a tuner and exhaust. You’re right they are hard bags but just not as nice as the touring hard bags like on my Street Glide. I see Hogworkz makes mounts for the Heritage to put hard bags like the touring models on. It looks pretty good with those bags but looses a bit of the classic heritage look. No matter, it’s hard to beat the Heritage Softail. Such a great bike.
@Wisconsin Backroad Bikers the best bike Harley has made to date and I've done thousands of miles on road glides and street glides
💯👍
