Took my iron 1200 from Galveston to Austin, Galveston to new braunfels, and Galveston to Corpus Christi this year! Taking her from galvy to Mount enterprise, Texas next month for born free Texas! Looking forward to it
That's awesome love to hear the sporty road trips!
From Vega Tx to San Angelo TX & back so far after getting a new big solo seat with backrest getting ready for spring for 2023, keep it safe and have fun , I have the same type of Sportster 1200 Iron XL NS denim paint black with green graphics.
Nice ride 👌
Harley video s all Harley riders yes this is so fun to watch went I am not riding so interesting love this, kept it going I watch all of your videos
Going from Orlando to the tail of the dragon next week on my sportster 48
Lovely lovely lovely haha. Liked the vid. Bike looks and sounds great.
Thanks for stopping by 👍
Great video!! Awesome 😎
Thanks boss! 🤟
Thats what you called accident on city line ave or 76. Turned around on quite a few ramps myself.
Yeah probably was
Looks like the PA 72 area and Lebanon. I used to calibrate the instrumentation at the Lebanon Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Route 322 becomes the Hershey Highway once you're west of Lebanon.
You were 50 miles from Wellsboro and the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
Yep that's right
Rode from Dallas to Phoenix in April but I rented a SG for that. I couldn't imagine riding my sporty for that whole time. The most I'll do is a few hundred miles on it - especially since almost everyone else I ride with has touring bikles.
It's an experience for sure
Awesome all that stops from touring on a sporty or Yamaha bolt is will power. Ran some long days on bolt.
True, I usually give it before the bike does
I live in palmyra right next to Hershey. Passed my hometown again lol. Also passed my job on 322 behind Sams club the railroad I’m sure you saw it on the right.
Yeah I pass through there a good amount
Do you get a lot of swaying at 80-85? I’ve been riding my 1200 for about two weeks and I feel all over the place, only 3100 miles on the bike. I even have a fairing & windshield..
I've been on a 2005 1200 Roadster since new and yes, they are sensitive to truck wakes and crosswinds once you get over 75 or so. The Roadster has a tach, and 65 equals 3000 rpm. Every 5mph equals 250 rpm.
I dont really have any problems at 80-85 i feel like the bike and rpms really level out there. Never had wobble. Big trucks give you some wind but just be aware
@@TheMotoJawn speed just kills the gas mileage though. Too bad that your Harley shop friend couldn't let you borrow a new 975 Nightster for the trip.
Blue ridge parkway 2023 is gonna be awesome
That would be awesome
Dude, that Sportster handled all those miles like a champ, that bike is a gem. Did you feel beat up afterwards or were you comfortable?
I was little beat up after the last stretch of highway on the way home. A windy day at 80 85 mph was tough
Make sure that you check your oil level. Sportster engines tend to consume more oil at sustained high speeds. It's actually a warning in the owners manual.
my 96 sportster gets rough on me around 150 mile. i’m 76 years young. 😅
@@timm9842 you are a legend
@@timm9842A legend for sure 🤘
How many miles are you averaging per tank?
I would say a little over 100 miles per tank when traveling. Could probably be a little more but I usually fill up at 100ish. Ran out at 130 before
Awesome vid. What’s your bike’s mpg?
I would say 30-35 mpg
I’m old, I remember when it was WACC
Yep you got that right
Man heard old I started riding at 14 on my dad's 1958 pan I'm 65 now riding a new Sportster Iron.
Heading to State College.
Close. Somewhat that direction
I knew I blew it when you turned North on 15. You could have saved a bunch of turnpike time. Slower, but nicer ride. Have you ever driven through Valley Forge? Also, I’m looking to take a ride to the Harley dealership in the Poconos during Indian Summer. Need to see this cool looking place. Check it out.
Keep the sportster!! Do Cali & back!!
That would be amazing
@@TheMotoJawn do it
It's harder than it looks, plus the speed limits west of the Mississippi are at least 80. While the Sportster will do it, it feels busy and becomes more sensitive to truck wakes and crosswinds.
@@spaceflight1019 gotcha.. Roadking with sidecar 2023 !!!
