Gnarly! So so so good mate! Thanks so much for showcasing my ST. You pronounced my name very well! Please dude, you are a natural, you makes us happy with your style, keep bringing those natural videos.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the kind words. I wasn't sure how this video would go especially with my bike being off the road but I'm glad you still enjoyed it. Glad I got your name right too haha Thanks for sending it in ! Cheers mate, thanks heaps for the constant support. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
HA!! Thanks for the shout out Matt!! REALLy love your channel!! Its the first thing I see every Friday morning when I get going for work...one of my favorite channels by far, as you seem like such a great dude... Really hope your channel takes off and you garner a boatload of success!! It takes a MASSIVE amount of dedication to put out a weekly video, as I am barley able to do one ANNUALLY..LOLZ. People always seem to think its a simple thing to do and have no idea how much time and effort goes into staying consistent. Anyhow, have a great weekend and just ride the bike, you been going 6 months already, whats another few days.... 😛. Thanks again for putting up my bikes...its crazy to see them on someones channel!!!
No worries at all mate, thanks for sending in the photo's! Cheers mate I wasn't sure if this was too boring or not, just something different as my bikes off the road at the moment but glad you still enjoyed it ! Thanks heaps for the kind words I do hope so too. Yeah mate, I always doubt myself if the video's going to be good or not can be hard just winging it 99% of the time haha. Lol good point mate sneak out for a ride 🤣 thanks for all the support mate and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@FFL-vg9ro holy demon mate that's absolutely bloody wild !!! I forgot to mention in the vid a fella I met with the same model fatbob as mine had 267,000 on the clock. As long as they are looked after they will go forever !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Bloody oath bro !!! Kms are just a number, I seen a bloke with the same bike as me 267,000 on the clock. So I'm very confident these motors just keep going haha. That's awesome !!! I want mine to hit 100 lol
@@Gnarly_Harley 80k now. And having cruise control is a bonus on the big runs. Love the videos mate, I’m up north around Mackay. Great to see all the different places down your way.
I have a yamaha xvs1300a motorbike with 104000kms. It's a great bike and runs well. I think you should get 2 or 300000kms. I'm 70 years old and still riding and loving it. Like your program.
Wow that's bloody awesome mate, just goes to show bikes will go forever if they are serviced correctly. That's awesome, I hope to still be riding at your age mate, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Got my 96ci 09 road king 22k miles for $6500 very clean. garage kept well maintained 1 owner. ridden 1500 miles a year. New tires new battery just serviced at harley with an oil change and inspected. I have put the same ammount of miles within the month ive had it. Solid runner came with stretched bags. LED Lights. Crash bars.Reckless fairing with 4 rockford fosgate speakers and infinity deck., wind deflectores and python exhaust. He gave me original bags, a windshield and trickle charger . No regrets. My 1st motorcycle and I wanted to get something cheap, to learn on after getting my endorsement. i lucked out
Wow mate, what an absolute bargain you got. Just goes to show you can find an absolute bargain if you look hard enough and be patient. It's good buying second hand because all the modifications are already done haha. Thanks for sharing mate and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great video! I am helping a friend of mine shop.for a used Harley. He's thinking a Sportster or Street Bob. He had the same thought about cost. He wants a Harley, but, kept saying he can only afford a Honda. I've found 12 bikes that pefectly fits his budget. Hopefully, by next weekend, he will have a ride! Take care, and stay safe! CHEERS!
Cheers mate ! Bloody oath, plenty of great deals out there just need to look harder haha. He will also have a already modified bike buying second hand aswell !!! Many benefits, also don't have to stress too much about scratching it haha. That's awesome, hope he finds his perfect bike. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I had 75000 on my 2009 Softail when I sold it, there was plenty of life left in it. Well over 100k. Depends if maintenance has been done. I had receipts and recorded every time I serviced it.
That's bloody awesome ! Yeah wow how goods that. I have been plenty over the 100 mark aswell I think people just don't realise with good maintenance they will keep going and going !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I have a 2001 Softail Deuce that has 68000 miles on it. I bought it used from local dealershipz for $4000.00, it had 2,8000 on it when i bought it 2 yrs ago, and It runs great, still strong, still fun, still very reliable. I do all the maintenance myself, on a schedule, just gotta take it in to get new shocks and new tires. Black and lots of chrome! Stay safe
Yeah I brought mine second hand, saved 20k. If I had of brought mine new and added the same accessories 20k more expensive and mine still had low k's not now with me doing like 600k's a week 😂. Good vlog 👍🏼
Bloody oath, can definitely work out way better !!! Especially since alot of harley rider seem to be loaded and upgraded after 10,000kms haha. You got a great deal I reakon. Bloody work horse ! Thanks for watching big dog 🧡🖤🤙
Nice one mate that's what I did 3 years ago I payed 15 k for my Electra Glide ultra classic 2010 68k kilometres on the clock heavy bike but cruising is a breeze cd player cruise control took the touring pack off changed the seat looks like a steet Glide now and I'm loving it keep up the great work mate I enjoy watching your channel 👍
That's awesome mate, bloody bargain in my opinion. People stress too much about kms, as long as they are serviced they will keep going ! That's awesome, has bloody everything don't they, wow. Appreciate the support thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I’m subscribed from central Alabama 😎 here we have to come up with registration money within 15 days. No payment plans☹️ Switch Back is a great bike… Street is a sweet 2nd bike…E Glide I had a 07, check the compensator and timing chain. I loved that bike, your right there are deals out there. Pay the artist and I’ll get that Gnarly tattoo. Road Glide you like is called snake Venom
Thanks so much mate, really appreciate the support ! I usually do moto vlogs out on the bike but as you probably heared it's currently not registered. Next week though !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
That would piss me off about the fat bob & there fault by the sounds of it or a glitch. Should be fixed up for free by them. Loved the vid, really entertaining & the variety. Thank you for bringing us such great content. So excited in watching you grow & supporting you however I can. Looking great in the Ultra Lite Green Shirt & thanks for the shout out. So enjoyed the drag & catching up with you, as well as your father that day. So much fun. Smoke coming up & all 🤣
Oh tell me about it mate, now my car is due and they haven't taken the direct debit of that either.... idk wtf is going on 😡 cheers, I appreciate the support glad you're enjoying the vlogs ! Hahaha the smoke was wild, hot buns 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I used to think the same as you about Harley’s. Now I own 2 a 23 Fatboy and 24 road glide. Fatboy is cammed and Dyno tuned. Road glide is just air cleaner, slip on and tuner.
That's bloody awesome mate, maybe one day when I can afford to upgrade. But for now this is all I can afford, I do love the old girl though haha. Fat boy would sound awesome ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Wow, that Switchback is a great bike for the price. Yeah, I know, the wheel spoke design is a bit of an eyesore, but the rest is pure H-D tradition. The 180 degree front fender is a nice added piece (keeps the bike cleaner). What's my verdict? It's the bike you can proudly bring home, show it to your wife (or next ex-wife) and say "that's money in the bank, I'll never lose!".
Definitely agree mate, already has everything done to it you would want ! Haha yeah they are an interesting wheel that's for sure. Haha I definitely agree, bloody nice classic looking bike. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley The Switchback is an interesting machine, kind of a like an affordable alternative to a Road King. It was a predecessor to the Sport Glide (the 2into1 zorst styling is similar). I'm guessing that the 103 Switchback had the Screamin' Eagle compensator sprocket and the electric decompression valves for easy starting. I reckon that bike will sell easily since it's been discussed on your channel :)
Biggest thing I found was not knowing what each model rode like. Private sales understandably won't let you test ride, My local dealership does not get many used Harley's..
I've test rode a few private sales but maybe I got lucky, Usually they upgraded bike and came for a ride with me while I was test riding there old bike haha. But yeah I understand that would be an issues, damn that sucks mate. I think you can tell them what you're looking for and they will find one and get it in for you sometimes, had a mate do that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hey mate. Thanks so much I appreciate the support 🙏 wow south Africa that's so cool. Haha I'm glad you're enjoying the vlogs and getting keen for a bike. There is nothing better than getting out riding !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great content. I have a CBR1000F with 165,000k's and hasn't missed a beat. I service it every 5000k's and I will be doing the same with my newly purchased 21 fatboy. Stay safe.
Cheers mate, wasn't sure how the vid would go completely winged it haha. Keen to get back out and ride ! Wow mate that's absolutely huge, it's true that kms don't matter as long as the bike is maintained !!!! I imagine the fatboy will fetch just as many kms. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@Gnarly_Harley forgot to mention I have 80,000 k's on my victory vision as well. Big key is maintenance. Fatboy will be getting a good run shortly. A few of us are heading up to Bundaberg in October for a couple of weeks. Can't wait. 🤘
Oh wow that's huge ! Just goes to show how far they go with good servicing. That sounds bloody awesome, make sure you pop in to Bargara. Love it there !
That's bloody awesome man !!! What an absolute bargain you got. Buying second hand is great because all the mods are already done haha. Okay awesome i though so lol, Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Insurance will value it at whatever you want to pay? They always over estimate so they can charge you more. A 2013 Fat Bob is worth $7k USD, with trade in in upper $4k range. So if you paid 12k AUD, you paid upper retail, USD you get taken.
@@freebehindbars8654 In their books, the 2013 Fat Bob is at the lower end value is at $17000, they tend to hold more value here in AU, the US has way more Harleys than we do, where theres more the value is less
Yeah I was surprised to it was $12000 then I had a look on bike sales and $12000 to $14000 you can easily get that model fatbob. Though I guess if I can get a 2022 low rider S with pipes and filter for $25000 it’s fair. Prices are cheap for Harley’s u just got to look. Canberra much cheaper there when I went to there HD dealer
@freebehindbars8654 not upper retail for aus due to the supply is alot more limited over here, don't see them much cheaper than that unfortunately. I imagine there are thousands and thousands more for sale on the second hand market over in the US.
Idk what it converts to in USD but I imagine we have alot less stock over here unfortunately. I bet they are dirt cheap second hand over there !? Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Your finances are your own business. Blame nobody but yourself. Live and learn and accept responsibility. Just sayin. I moved three times in 12 months when I was very young and I overlooked updating my address each time. When I was pulled over by police I then found out my licence had expired for more than 3 months. I learned a lesson that day.
@samuraidarryl signed up for direct debit in march, and they didn't take the money and cancelled my direct debit the next month at 1am in the morning and told me I did that... so was cancelled without me knowing. Showed them proof and they didn't care. Anyway it is my fault because I should check more often. Agreed. Just very annoying. Yeah it is a lesson I'll definitely be checking way more often, I was just stating that it's abit of a dumb system that it didn't take my money with having direct debit set up. Live ya learn haha Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Subbed mate, sorry - thought I did ages back! I sold my 05 Super glide for 16k a couple of years ago. Good to see they are still holding value. My 15 Street glide special was 30k but it's fully loaded, stage 2, on air, and has 14kms on it. Def some good bargains on twin cam dynas still!
Cheers mate !!! Haha that's all good I appreciate the support. Yeah wow, even that's a bloody bargain mate. Buying second hand is awesome all the mods you want are already done 😅🤣 Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hey mate, it sucks you’re not riding, online stuff can be a real bloody pain. I’ve been researching the street 500 and they look really cool. Also mostly cause a 300kg + bike wouldn’t be ideal.
Yeah it can be a pain in the ass haha. It's all sorted now thank God! Yeah the 500 is a cool bike, I really need to do a review on one. Yeah harleys are bloody heavy !! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Cheers bro, I was unsure what to do if I'm honest... completely was winging it due to my bike not being on the road haha. Lol I can't afford a personal plate !!! That's for rich people. Thanks for watching as always 🧡🖤🤙
Buy a EVO engine Harley, make sure it's carburetored. The EVO and early Twin cam fuel injected bikes are junk. If you buy a twin cam bike with over 20k miles make sure the cam chest has been updated. If you can do your own mechanic work don't buy any bike that's not EVO powered. Good luck.
Each to their own I guess mate, everyone has different experiences with different motors. I met a fella on a twin cam fatbob with 268,000 (Kms) on the clock and the only work he had done was his clutch. I guess if they are serviced and maintained correctly any of them should go forever ! Good to hear your perspective though that's very interesting, I do like the old EVO's they sound Rad. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hello Matt...another excellent vlog!!! Your charisma is pretty awesome! People can see that in your vlogs! You're very passionate about Harley Davidson's and it shows! You made a pretty good vlog just by discussing Harley Davidson's and then sharing people's motorbikes too! Danny Hayes has a Road King that just turned over 100k's Of course he didn't baby his Harley either. Well I hope you can show my Breakout sometime too. If not... I'll get some better photos of it. Keep up the great vlogs Matt!!! John...
Thanks mate I appreciate that, hope it wasn't too boring I didn't really know what to do with my bike being off the road... glad you still enjoyed it. I did see his bike hit over 100,000 that's bloody awesome and he has put it through he'll lol. Definitely mate, make sure to send some in to my email, I must have missed it did I? Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Yeah wow thats a nloody bargain mate, unfortunately we don't have as much supply over here in Australia so I think for Harley's we will always be paying abit more. Maybe I should move over there 😉😅 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hi Matt, bummer about QLD dept of transport preventing you from riding today. Buying a bike is a personal thing for me I spent 80k+ on my bikes but I worked very hard for my bikes but after 30+ years of crap bikes that were cheap and nasty and with no warranty it was time to have that new bike feeling and not regretting it one bit . So can we host you in WA for a bike review on my bikes and a chat about your time in foster care and how can we improve the lives of young adults ageing out of the foster care system
Hey David, hope you've been well mate. I'll have to watch some of you latest vids I've been flat out. Good call David, I know that point of view aswell ! I was mainly referring to those who say they flat out can't afford one. (They aren't looking hard enough) haha. Mate, one day I'd bloody love to come over that way ! And that sounds good. Thanks for watching and the constant support 🧡🖤🤙
I see heaps of blokes on the Facebook pages looking for softails for 20k and I say you can get a brand new one for 23k. Brand new harley!! An then I cope a bunch of comments yuk ewww brother new shit bla bla 🤣🤣 Harley community super supportive 😂
Haha it can be a funny community can't it, some people are so damn picky !!! Some models it's worth just buying a new one I do agree with you there. But others you get all the mods done and on the road for nearly half the price haha. I see alot of people dislike the new M8s aswell, I meant the twin cam does sound better 😉 hahaha Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Insurance will value it at whatever you want to pay? They always over estimate so they can charge you more. A 2013 Fat Bob is worth $7k USD, with trade in in upper $4k range. So if you paid 12k AUD, you paid upper retail, USD you get taken.
@@freebehindbars8654 In their books, the 2013 Fat Bob is at the lower end value is at $17000, they tend to hold more value here in AU, the US has way more Harleys than we do, where theres more the value is less
Yeah I was surprised to it was $12000 then I had a look on bike sales and $12000 to $14000 you can easily get that model fatbob. Though I guess if I can get a 2022 low rider S with pipes and filter for $25000 it’s fair. Prices are cheap for Harley’s u just got to look. Canberra much cheaper there when I went to there HD dealer
@freebehindbars8654 not upper retail for aus due to the supply is alot more limited over here, don't see them much cheaper than that unfortunately. I imagine there are thousands and thousands more for sale on the second hand market over in the US.
wow bro,. that many miles and that much. Damn come across the pond and buy one and ship it home.
Idk what it converts to in USD but I imagine we have alot less stock over here unfortunately. I bet they are dirt cheap second hand over there !?

I have seen a lot of Street 500s for 12 to 14k. & they reckon, "Don't lowball me, I know what I got!"
Hahaha it's ridiculous isn't it mate !!! People just need to look harder and be patient. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Your finances are your own business. Blame nobody but yourself. Live and learn and accept responsibility. Just sayin.
I moved three times in 12 months when I was very young and I overlooked updating my address each time. When I was pulled over by police I then found out my licence had expired for more than 3 months. I learned a lesson that day.
@samuraidarryl signed up for direct debit in march, and they didn't take the money and cancelled my direct debit the next month at 1am in the morning and told me I did that... so was cancelled without me knowing. Showed them proof and they didn't care. Anyway it is my fault because I should check more often. Agreed. Just very annoying.
Yeah it is a lesson I'll definitely be checking way more often, I was just stating that it's abit of a dumb system that it didn't take my money with having direct debit set up. Live ya learn haha

@@Gnarly_Harley I hope I didn’t come across as rude. Love your channel mate.
Not at all, thanks mate I understand where you were coming from. Appreciate the support
Subbed mate, sorry - thought I did ages back!
I sold my 05 Super glide for 16k a couple of years ago. Good to see they are still holding value. My 15 Street glide special was 30k but it's fully loaded, stage 2, on air, and has 14kms on it.
Def some good bargains on twin cam dynas still!
Cheers mate !!! Haha that's all good I appreciate the support.
Yeah wow, even that's a bloody bargain mate. Buying second hand is awesome all the mods you want are already done 😅🤣
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
8.25 to 8.30 is a very good looking bike, would suit you outlawman, start saving the pennies or better still a ski mask and a potatoe gun😆
Bloody beautiful bike isn't it !!! Ahhh yes one day, I'd definitely love to own one of them. Hahaha now that's an idea 🤣🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
sick vid as always bro
Thanks mate, that means alot wasn't sure what to do with my bike off the road so I'm glad you still enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hey mate, it sucks you’re not riding, online stuff can be a real bloody pain.
I’ve been researching the street 500 and they look really cool.
Also mostly cause a 300kg + bike wouldn’t be ideal.
Yeah it can be a pain in the ass haha. It's all sorted now thank God!
Yeah the 500 is a cool bike, I really need to do a review on one. Yeah harleys are bloody heavy !! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Quality vid brother! 🤙 Hey, if you gotta get a new plate, I reckon it's time for a perso one! Is GNRLY taken??
Cheers bro, I was unsure what to do if I'm honest... completely was winging it due to my bike not being on the road haha. Lol I can't afford a personal plate !!! That's for rich people. Thanks for watching as always 🧡🖤🤙
Yeh the mighty switchback! Haha
Haha bloody oath bro !!! Looked like a cracking deal. Has everything on it !
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley they are a good thing if you like the classic look! Dyna’s are arguably some of the best handling HDs….
Done ya self some miscief aye😂 hows it crocy
Mate I'm absolutely spewin !!! Off to get a new roadworthy now... thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Buy a EVO engine Harley, make sure it's carburetored. The EVO and early Twin cam fuel injected bikes are junk. If you buy a twin cam bike with over 20k miles make sure the cam chest has been updated. If you can do your own mechanic work don't buy any bike that's not EVO powered. Good luck.
*cant
Each to their own I guess mate, everyone has different experiences with different motors. I met a fella on a twin cam fatbob with 268,000 (Kms) on the clock and the only work he had done was his clutch. I guess if they are serviced and maintained correctly any of them should go forever !
Good to hear your perspective though that's very interesting, I do like the old EVO's they sound Rad. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hello Matt...another excellent vlog!!! Your charisma is pretty awesome! People can see that in your vlogs! You're very passionate about Harley Davidson's and it shows! You made a pretty good vlog just by discussing Harley Davidson's and then sharing people's motorbikes too! Danny Hayes has a Road King that just turned over 100k's Of course he didn't baby his Harley either. Well I hope you can show my Breakout sometime too. If not... I'll get some better photos of it. Keep up the great vlogs Matt!!! John...
Thanks mate I appreciate that, hope it wasn't too boring I didn't really know what to do with my bike being off the road... glad you still enjoyed it.
I did see his bike hit over 100,000 that's bloody awesome and he has put it through he'll lol. Definitely mate, make sure to send some in to my email, I must have missed it did I?
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Crazy i just got a 2017 street bob last month for $10k US it only had 1,300 miles a lot of low mile Harleys out here in Colorado
Yeah wow thats a nloody bargain mate, unfortunately we don't have as much supply over here in Australia so I think for Harley's we will always be paying abit more. Maybe I should move over there 😉😅 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hello from the USA l really enjoy your videos .
Hey mate !!! Thanks for tuning in from the home of harley 😅 appreciate the support glad you're enjoying the vlogs, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hi Matt, bummer about QLD dept of transport preventing you from riding today. Buying a bike is a personal thing for me I spent 80k+ on my bikes but I worked very hard for my bikes but after 30+ years of crap bikes that were cheap and nasty and with no warranty it was time to have that new bike feeling and not regretting it one bit . So can we host you in WA for a bike review on my bikes and a chat about your time in foster care and how can we improve the lives of young adults ageing out of the foster care system
Hey David, hope you've been well mate. I'll have to watch some of you latest vids I've been flat out. Good call David, I know that point of view aswell ! I was mainly referring to those who say they flat out can't afford one. (They aren't looking hard enough) haha.
Mate, one day I'd bloody love to come over that way ! And that sounds good. Thanks for watching and the constant support 🧡🖤🤙
7:37 I just put a deposit on a Switchback.
Haha did you !? 😅 looks like a bloody good bike, seems to have everything done to it aswell
Give a like for my brother croc share the channel around please

@@Gnarly_Harley lol. You were sooooo close 😂. Love ya work man. Keep it up hey.
Hahaha so close but also so far 🤣
Cheers man
I see heaps of blokes on the Facebook pages looking for softails for 20k and I say you can get a brand new one for 23k.
Brand new harley!!
An then I cope a bunch of comments yuk ewww brother new shit bla bla 🤣🤣 Harley community super supportive 😂
Haha it can be a funny community can't it, some people are so damn picky !!! Some models it's worth just buying a new one I do agree with you there. But others you get all the mods done and on the road for nearly half the price haha.
I see alot of people dislike the new M8s aswell, I meant the twin cam does sound better 😉 hahaha
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@Gnarly_Harley haha I have a M8 but think my sportster sounded better 🤣
Hahaha oops, sportsters sound oddly cool af !
Haha moan blind. "Mined blowen"
Haha what !? That's gone over my head
Hey mate how are you doing MAN!
Hey mate, doing well apart from not being able to ride this week ! How are you doing mate ?

Hey I am living the dream. 64 retired 10 years. Wife works from home for Government and I just ride my 21 Tri Glide I bought new and my e bike that goes 48 mph. So yes life is good.
Just keep up the good videos and I hope you get it all sorted out.
That's awesome to hear mate, you're definitely living the dream haha. Can't wait untill I'm retired, I'd say I'm going to blow my money on many motorcycles 🤣
Thank you, appreciate the support
Send the rego place the bill. It's there fault
I went in and they said there was nothing they could do, bloody crap system they have mate. Now off to get another roadworthy... spewin !
Bloody Transport Dept. 🤦♂️
Bloody terrible system they have mate ! Not happy Jan !!!
Unless you know mechanical skills on bikes? I wouldn't buy off market place.
If you get it inspected it shouldn't be too bad, I have purchased all my vehicles off market place and never had any issue's. My harley was my first second hand dealer purchase. Maybe I'm just lucky haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
