    Brother, outstanding video! You’re a natural for getting out to ride, enjoy and provide such epic content amongst this great landscape we’ve been blessed to enjoy. Your narration throughout is spot on. By the way, your bike looks incredible; great call on that!

    Should have stayed on 28 . That is an epic ride to the dragon tail. Harley Davidson bikes seem to really shine in the mountains. The combination of handling and that low end torque make it a joy😊 First time we went to deals gap there was an accident. Guy rode off the mountain. My wife refuses to ride it with me. She did do the cheraholla skyway and blue ridge Pkwy though.

    • @gropplife

      No idea why Google maps took me down that road off but it was memorable atleast. The bike loves twisty mountain roads for sure. I still need to do cheraholla skyway, I hear it’s a lot fun. Might go back up and ride it next month

    I own a blacked out 2014 RK CVO and that will be the last blacked out bike I own. I like it but the finishes age different, leaving different shades of black depending on the heat cycles of the part. Chrome is eternal.

    • @gropplife
      @gropplife  Місяць тому +1

      This is my first blacked out bike, I guess I’ll just have to see how it ages. My last bike was chromed out and was ready for a change. Thanks for watching!
