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.
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!
@@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!
I thinking about taking off from here in Kentucky to Colorado on my 2016 Heritage Softail. I’ve never been further than Smokey mountains on a bike before. And that’s only 250 miles away 😂. So I dunno how it would go. Been riding off and on for 20 years but just never took any long trips. I suck at planning things so all I know to do is just pack a bag and take off and go. I got the money and I got the time….i just can’t seem to make myself get started
@@JohnnyRebKy I am a believer in the only plan you need is to put your butt on the seat. I literally reserved this bike and got the airline ticket 18 hrs before I was on this bike and riding in Colorado. Once I got on the bike I headed for the closest, coolest destination I thought was near me which was Pikes Peak. I started looking for a place to stay when I was eating supper. It was like that all 4 days I rode in Colorado. BEST ride I have done so far! Get on and ride you won’t regret it!
@@Badgerbiker well it’s a 1200 mile ride for me just to get to Denver or so. Having had 5 back surgeries in my life already I’m not sure how well I can handle that. That’s what worries me. Long long way from home to have trouble. It’s not the bike that worries me. It’s capable. It’s ME I worry about lol
@@JohnnyRebKy I hear yah. Well I recommend you checkout Eagle rider in Denver. I used the “Denver Airport” Eagle rider which is not really near the airport. I landed at Denver and “Lyft” for a ride to the Eagle rider. Signed a few papers and in about 15 minutes I was strapping my bag to the Heritage. It cost me $170/day unlimited miles. Not sure what it cost now but they have many bikes to choose from including some non Harley brands. Very easy people to work with and Uber or Lyft is also easy to sign up with. I hope you find a way to do a good trip.
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.
@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.
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!!
@@johnfetzer9637 thanks. If you ever get the chance, Colorado is a fantastic place to ride. Thanks for watching. I hope to add more videos after winter.
Fantastic video…..
Looks like a great place for motorcycle riding. ✌️
Wow . I am a couple months late, but I am enjoying your trip. I will put this in my "Bucket List" for the future.

Yikes...that drop!
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

I just bought one myself. I live in Colorado and am taking it out this weekend.

@Wisconsin Backroad Bikers the best bike Harley has made to date and I've done thousands of miles on road glides and street glides
