OMG, Me personally I love the heel toe shifter. Once you get used to it it's great
The shifter in back is for up shifting if you start using it you will probably never want a harley with out it make sure it's adjusted as low as possible and I think you will love once you get used to it because I felt the same way
YAY you didn't just talk to yourself all the way home 🤣👍... Your first ride being interstate would have scared the "what's happens" out of me 🤪.. great job 👍❤❤
Leave your downshift alone. I'm 61 an learned to ride and made myself keep it...I love it now!!!! Sooo very much better then the old way..
Tim ,it's nice to see you on your new bike. Thanks for the forward angle!
Congratulations on the new bike! Such a beautiful bike 🥰 Blessings on Blessings!🙌🏼 GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!🙏🏼
You look very happy! Must be the Harley!! No kidding, you do have a twinkle in your eyes. I am very happy for you. You certainly deserve some happiness.
Hi Tim thank you for the ride as you know I'm 89 and sitting in my chair here and I felt like I was on that Journey with you and it was great and I was sitting on that bike too. LOL I thought maybe when you met your sweetheart that you would forget us and not ramble as much but you're the same so I'm glad of that maybe she'll be misramble and I'll be double rambling now I'm rambling on I don't get to talk much during the day so I tend to ramble at times thank you for ride again talk to you later.❤☘☘😍
Tim you'll get use to the toe heel shifter and you'll like it bro. Don't get rid of it until you've gave it a shot.
@@RidgelifeRamblingsno, get rid of it Tim. That way you have plenty of room to move your feet around on long trips buddy.
My husband loves and loved the several bikes he owned over the years. After riding with him a time or two I looked and told him hen you can get that without the wind,noise, seatbelts, and full ac I will meet up with you again. He now goes to the rallies with friends and just observes. Lol
Yeah, it's not for everyone for sure but sure is a fun time with friends!
My brother use to have Harley bikes and of course I rode with him and than I had an ex fiancé that had one and than my sisters boyfriend in our younger days had one so I have had many rides on those beautiful bikes. Yours is very nice and I am so happy for you. I know you are going to enjoy this for many years to come. Be safe, God bless
I'm so glad you enjoyed your first ride on your new bike 2023 Harley be safe always 💙
CONGRADULATIONS TIM. happy for you. May the roads you travel be blessed.
Comfort after safety 👍✨🍀 I have removed myself, many years. Like you I have fallen in love. Always loved Humans and Machines!🚜🏍️
Hi Tim! You look good on that Harley! She looks pretty. LOL Just got my internet back been down for 3/4 days so have catching up to do. You have an awesome week Tim!

👍👍👍 Youll enjoy it alot more once your comfortable on it. Dont get rid of that heel shift lever to soon. After a bit,i think youll appreciate it... Have fun bro,ftw 👍👍👍
That was a nice ride. Are you keeping the other motorcycle, you can start a collection. Thanks for taking us along 🏍️
10:39 congratulations Tim I think you will enjoy the cruiser 10:39 now if we can just get Anthony to get his out
👏👏👏Dang Tim!! It’s beautiful and that screen!! You’ll love it. For sure aren’t leaning as much with the pipes, pegs, bags plus you’re going to have precious cargo on back most of the time 😁😉
❤🙏✌🏼
Tim you look great on that beautiful machine,good luck with it and always be safe ❤❤U
Tim, thanks for taking us all on your bike. I didn't know we ALL could fit on there! Lol. Very nice looking bike for sure. I always loved the relaxing trips on the back of Harleys. One was in the rain and that wasn't so fun. 🤣 Can't wait for more bike videos. I really enjoy the video when you were in New Orleans. That was cool seeing everything. Have a super day tomorrow. Much Love to you, Jenn and Grandma Carol. ❤
Oh get Jenn a seat! The bigger the trunk Tim the better for travel. With the clip on and off it is easy to change out seats and such. We loaded up for big trips, stripped down to sissy bar and side bags for day trips. We can’t wait to get a bike again.
I love it! On long rides I would like a higher, bigger windshield to keep the wind from beatting me up. Then thats me. Congratulations Brother Tim enjoy.
I just was reading some say there is also a wind that comes down by the tank and they also added HD folk mounted wind deflectors that helped. I love riding sitting up and comfy. This guy doesn't like leaning for hrs. I'm sure you dial it in to suit you.
Wow Tim! Beautiful bike! I felt like I was riding with you. Um, did you blow through 2 stop signs? Might have appeared so on my end. I think Jen will love the ride! Congratulations!
I was puckering on that ride, lol. I was scared a deer would run out in front of you. It's a beautiful bike. Stay safe.
Congratulations beautiful bike and I used to take the heal shifter off before I left the dealer. The CVO is the only model with it now.
Thx! I think when I get it adjusted down, I may like it. Just odd for me!
Beautiful Bike! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future, keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
Thanks! I'm gonna have my CVO content montly on my new reviews channel. It's www.youtube.com/@ridgelifereviewshowtos
Tim doing a great job riding your Harley for the first time . Love your bike cruising smooth down the Interstate. Great job riding.
Congratulations Tim!!! That bike sounds sweet!! Have fun and enjoy your rides. But please be careful!!!
Wife and Kids did the Buffalo kayaking last weekend. Bring some sun block..
LISTEN TO DAVIDS LAST LIVE SOME SWEET REMARKS RE THE KING OF THE ROADS CONGRATS GOOD BANTER LIKE MEDS
I wasn’t sure about the heal toe shifter either but once I got use to it I wouldn’t have another bike without it
Nice scoot Tim! I think JennJenn will really like arm rests and tour pack!!
I hope that you will be safe. There has been to many to get killed on them.
I'm glad you like it Brother! I'm not a bike guy myself. I can ride but I will never ride around traffic. I 've lost a few friends because of people in cars being reckless and not paying attention to motorcycles. Have fun with it,be careful and safe! Take care,congratulations and God Bless!!!❤😊
Congratulations on your new acquisition 🎉 please stop fiddling with buttons and bells, you’re making me very nervous! Sound was fine. Bloopers are the best!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
That bike is pretty awesome! Still a huge fan of the Duc though! ❤ I bet this one will be so nice for cruising long distances and a much smoother ride especially for Jennifer! I just got the most fabulous build idea for a future project for you...a custom moto camper for trips to camp in and pull behind the new fancy ride! Glad your first ride went well! You'll have to get some of those fancy helmets with the mics and cams so you 2 can talk to each other and film your adventures! Good luck! 🎉
Can't to pick mine up in Sydney. Did you say you changed the pipes because the sound was too quiet?
👍
First time watching, I am so disappointed that you didn’t ring the piss out of that bell, that bell represents the excitement of buying that Harley. Give the heel shifter a chance, you will like it. Just saying.
HAHA! I didn't know! Yes, I am going to adjust the heel shifter a bit lower and work on it. Thx
Hello Tim, when are you and Anthony from @countryroadcure going to go cross country cruising???
Thats a nice looking bike!! I would like to have a trike one of these days but we shall see!! I am glad that bad boy is finally at the Ridge!! Side note: Its tough ringing that bell!! 😅
First experience watching you u-tube and ride, I'll be honest, not a fan. It had me on edge the whole time 😮, wanting you to be 100% safe, focused on the road and your surroundings. Dang, from our camera view, it felt like you were flying 😅. You should make a rule, no riding and u-tubing 😊. Safe travels Tiim, gorgeous bike. Buying my 3rd Harley soon, It'll be my first trike for long haul.
Hi Tim you and Jenefer should find David one of Jenefer's friends near him.
I haven't seen any regular ridge life videos lately. Are you not gonna be doing them anymore?
I have like four filmed but family, work and vacation holding me up. Soon!
Wait, wait, wait ,wait. Did I just see you wearing tenny shoes on that bike? If so what in the world are you thinking? lol. Leather boots brother safety safety lol.
Have to try a wireless dongle and see if it makes android auto work. I have one on my 2019 and it's great. Factory navigation sucks.
Sorry for the microphone issues. I will have that corrected on the next ride!
It was just fine to me.
