I’m just a weekend Harley rider too, but for different reasons because I’m slave labor to the system the rest of the time.. I too cut my teeth on the Hondas and Yamaha’s growing up and it was my only transportation till I joined the Navy and it was many yrs before I could afford my Fatboy and I Liston to David Allen Coe , Still !!

Rode a 1100 shadow across the american midwest camping under the stars the entire way through sun and storms. A harley someday till then ill love my honda.

Wow that is freaking crazy! I decided to watch this video a second time a few weeks later and just realized the interviewer is freaking video bob on KZbin!!! Lets goooooooo!

So true.. I started on a little Honda mini 50 in 1974ish. Had many brands over my life.. finally my 1st Harley at 54 years old.

listen to at least one DAC song every day. Thank you Sir for the tunes

So he actually worked his way up to a Honda, and then ended up with a harley..

Shit Mr. David Allan Coe I still have my 63 Panhead in the 1948 frame I’ve been running since I was 20 that was in 1983

Resistance is futile.

I rode on the back of my dad's 75 shovelhead to a concert at the Vichy missouri airport in the mid 90s, I was 10. Dad and I still own Harleys.

Saw David Allan Coe in a biker bar in Fairmont,WV many many years ago. I'll never forget it. What a show.

Hey thats true harleys are hard to get for the average man

Met DAC several times; scared ,not too bad and then, yeah, he's alright ! He wore the colors , owned only a IRON HORSE ( LOL) and wrote beautiful songs .He " called me by my name " once ( he recognized me) and yep; 1953 PanHead ; saviour ,Amen frame ; belt driven & suicide shift ! BEAUTIFUL ; my first ride ; a toddlerwith my Daddy ! Anyways, everybody has a story and he OWNS his ! There's more to him than what most people know ! Respect is earned and DAC certainly has earned his ! Oh, and I love your story ; 99% ••• lol 😊

Over 40 years ago I'd ride my Yamaha in the snow 10 miles just to get some pussy.

Only ride,all weather. Respect.

Harley Davidson going WOKE,they wanna go all electric. At Sturgis they had one there I and other bikers stood around to check it out. There was no rumble in in the engine. Nobody was impressed with the bike you would hear a grown from all the bikers. We stuck around to watch them show how well it rides. The only thing they got from us were groans and we all walked away from the bike show. After they went woke I decided my 2020 Electra Glide Ultra will be the last HD I will buy. Indian MC has gone woke also

I still like honda..they run good and reliable..the older you get ....if ypu live motorcycles you love em all..I'm not biased to brand ir style..I live everyone wholeness bikes.....I got hurt and almost dies on my bike so I'm fortunate to ride at all..fuk even a scooter..ride it ..make it you and be a rebel......even one scooter you can be whoever ypu want...f the elitist

Crying about everybody enjoying motorcycles makes you a hipster. Who tf are you, tge gatekeeper of motorcycling? 😅 👉

Malcom Forbes is what started the RUB Movement in the early 90s

They don't make them like Coe anymore.

the only thigs that keep me off a harley is ice,sleet, and a heavy snow storm.

a harley dresser is a lot lighter than a gold wing, as well as eaiser to ride.

Mystical your story sounds an awful lot like mine. I started with a tote goat worked up to Honda Suzuki’s then I went for quite a while without a bike then I got a bull taco to 50% five speed it used to be Jim Pomeroy in Evel Knievel‘s training bike Knievel work for Pomeroys in Yakima anyway, I finally got me a Harley at 68 years old. I was able to afford a old 99 Electra glide custom. It was all I could buy just the other day. Can’t wait till it gets here so I can ride it.

Damn that's the dude from that pawn stars episode with the ghost busters proton pack

I had a Montgomery Wards scooter.

Harley Davidson made its bones off 1%ers, of course they will never admit it. They pander to people with lots of cash. I bought my first flathead 45 chopper for 450.00 dollars. Second bike 56 panhead frame with brand new 1977 shovel motor for 2k in 1978 boy times have changed!

I gotta lie, his wig looks great!

R.U.B.s

The dude is the real deal

I went to a fight last night and a David Allen Coe concert broke out. True story multiple times

Fuckin wannabes they make good robbing I sho do.like that bike.

Let me sum it up like this this...back in the old days when you'd see bikers, you'd think, "I'm in danger!" Now, when you see bikers you think..."Oh cool, maybe they got gum!"

Legend

Cool stuff!! My first bike was 2003 883 sportster. Road it 1yr rain or shine cold weather it was cool. Now I got 2012 switchback.

I like David Allan Coe......he is a good dude and a really good musician/writer/artist.

DAC was a biker when bikers were not cool.....

I like that little pun red wings makes my face crack when I smile hahaha my first bike was panhead to

It all started with mtv that changed everything, I think it started with motley crew and cher was the death blow

This dude is about as honest as it gets

⁰

I did start out on a small 500cc Honda. Then a 900 vulcan. Then a 1300 yamaha. Now I have a road king and man I love my Harley Davidson but yes we all start out on a Honda or some other bike lol

These days they call what those posers do "cultural appropriation".

I’m on my 2nd Harley now

✨ 🖤 ✨

Bought my first real bike when I was 18 it was a used 1965, 650 Triumph Bonneville that was in1969 and my first HD was a 1973 FX back in the AMF days.Sold my VW bug and Triumph to get the loan. Out the door for $2,500. a hell of a lot of money back then for this broke sailor. I was stationed in Little Creek, VA and he is right about not made in the USA the front forks had Japan on them. My first accessory was a repair manual. You had to learn how to wrench your bike back then.

We called them new leathers and still do.

It started in Northern California. Now they call yuppies "dink's- double income, no kids"
