2-Up On Pan America Comparison

[@oldhead_]

Father Daughter time is priceless especially when she comes home for the holidays..great video!

[@Broncoride]

I’m blessed that she enjoys getting on the bike. Hopefully she rides next to me one day.

[@BoDean52]

That is one of my favorite videos that you have ever done. So cool of your kids to come home and surprise you guys and I hope you really enjoy the holidays. This should really help people knowing that you could put a second rider on the back of the pan America. Your kids a star you better not let her start a KZbin channel.

[@Broncoride]

Thank you my friend. It was great they were able to drive up to see us. I’m not a fan of that drive for sure.

[@bobnelson2499]

Fun, Fun, Fun! This was great Colin. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you and family.

[@Broncoride]

Thanks Bob and Merry Christmas to you as well in sunny Georgia.

Wow, what a great time. Gotta say, most people pick the Harley’s for their first ride on but those that ride again and try one of the adventure bikes, always say they liked it better. Exactly what Hannah said, they say it’s higher, smoother, the sitting position is more comfortable and their view over my helmet is better. I have taken my better half off on a few off road excursions, as a passenger, and she did have a good time. She’s a trooper but she did say she prefers asphalt. Lol Great video Colin! Merry Christmas to you and the family. 🤙🏼🎄

[@Broncoride]

She really enjoyed it, and now is thinking about getting a higher sitting bike. What have I got myself into? Lol. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

[@thedustychronicles739]

So awesome to have your daughter riding with you! I have to say I'm surprised that Hannah said the passenger pillion was comfortable! I wouldn't have that that a bike designed primarily for a solo rider would have any sort of comfort for 2-up. Hannah did a great review from a passenger perspective. I'm glad you have your family together for the holidays. Merry Christmas my friend!!

[@Broncoride]

I was surprised too for sure. She was very comfortable.

[@wildstar365]

Another excellent video about your Pan!! I've been catching up on your videos because I'm getting close to pulling trigger on trading up my Streetglide to a Pan and this vid answered a question I haven't seen addressed elsewhere, passenger comfort on it!! Thank you and thank your daughters great input ! Honestly I wind up riding solo most the time anyways but occasional fortune favors me with a passenger lol!

[@Broncoride]

I appreciate that. I ride solo most of the time too, but you could do 2-up on this.

[@theSMYRNAcowboy]

Great to have your daughter ride with you. Those will always be my best memory when I daughter rode with me on the Spyder. Now I know she will be up for a ride anytime. Your daughters channel could be...... "The Daughter of Broncoride."

[@Broncoride]

Haha, don’t think she wants that name. Merry Christmas my friend.

[@theSMYRNAcowboy]

@@Broncoride It's great riding with your daughter that loved to ride. I look forward to riding with mine this spring or summer. Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend.

[@jhw326]

I have not found a lot of youtube videos about the Pan America as a 2 up Motorcycle. Thank you for making the effort. At the same price as the Road King I will let my wife decide what she is more comfortable on. But that engine is the future of Harley so still holding out for the January HD announcements. Ride Safe.

[@Broncoride]

Thanks Jefferson. Definitely agree with her deciding. My take is the touring models for long distances are prob better for the passenger.

[@PinksAdventures]

That is awesome Colin!!...I love getting out and ride with my kids as well!!...sounds like she enjoys the PA!!🤣👍...Now I have to go find my driveway under all this white fluffy stuff that's falling from the sky!🙁...stay safe....ride safe!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦

[@Broncoride]

I can’t believe my winter has been this mild but I’m sure it won’t last. Hang in there with the white stuff.

[@MotoMike805]

I just came over from Support Bikers Facebook group

[@Broncoride]

Thank you. I saw your vid going through 46. Nice road man.

[@MotoMike805]

@@Broncoride Thanks! I love that rode.

[@mototakahe836]

Hey Colin what you should get her, from her comments is Noraly 's bike, Itchy Boots latest bike , a Honda CRF300, she is obviously a trailie girl. Happy hristmas to you and your family.

[@Broncoride]

That would be a perfect bike for her. Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Great kids man. Have a great Christmas

[@Broncoride]

Thank you Pete with your warm weather.

[@grayghost1423]

I ride 2 up, my wife is about 120 lbs. We have rode on and off road on the PA. The only tough parts is steep down hill over rocks and deeply rutted roads from heavy rains. Fire roads are not a problem even ungroomed. On the street it's a monster even with full luggage and 2 up. The suspension is excellent.

[@Broncoride]

Very cool. I’ve only done it a couple times with my daughter.

[@WilliamJacksonComputing]

Have you taken your wife on the Pan American yet? I'm considering consolidating my 2018 Ultra Classic and 2022 Sportster S into a single 2023 Pan American. Just not sure how the wife would like the small pad on the H-D tour pack for the Pan American. Any advice?

[@Broncoride]

My wife rode on it once. She said it was fine but sat a lot higher than the SGS. My daughter rode with me too. It’s not as comfortable as the SGS, but they both said it wasn’t bad. Hope that helps a little.

[@WilliamJacksonComputing]

@@Broncoride It did. I ended up getting a deal on a last in stock 2022 Pan American Special GI Enthusiast edition. Traded in the Sportster S and keep the Ultra Classic. Now have the best of both worlds. Looking forward to more of your content.

[@peteb6072]

What kind of communication gear are you using?..it’s crystal clear

[@Broncoride]

We both had Sena’s. I used 10C and she had 30 series.

[@triumphrider9796]

Very cool input from the pillion! All my kids haver four feet and fur, not going to ride with them (there was a guy I saw around Dupont Circle in DC who rode with his cat; "Cycle Cat" had a little piece of carpet on the tank he rode on, even had a mini helmet and a web site).

[@Broncoride]

I’ve seen a couple ride with their pets. Mine would jump off.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Always nice to get our kids out on the bikes. I think you should buy her a Pan America and the two of you do some on and off-road riding? It is also nice that your kids came home for Christmas. Tell her she should be a spokesperson for Harley? Ride Safe

[@Broncoride]

Haha, she will be on a much smaller bike.

[@HarleyDayRider]

@@Broncoride . You thinking of a Harley 500 or 750 those are nice. Indian Scout are also nice. Good luck.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

You could still do it. I’m 60 and I just drove 26 hours straight to Mesa AZ from my place in Canada 👍

[@Broncoride]

Big fat NO. Lol

[@candlstudios]

Good video. How were you able to catch the audio of both you and the passenger?

[@Broncoride]

Thanks. Sena 10C and she had Sena 30. Both conversations record to 10C

[@jimweagant8920]

Good video thanks for sharing 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Jim for watching.

[@jdreyno1958]

Very cool!

Thank you Jim.

[@The333]

Very cool that your daughter is into riding - Christmas gift??? ;)

[@Broncoride]

Definitely not this year lol. Thanks for stopping by 333.

[@timscott70]

From the operator’s perspective, does the PA feel as safe and controllable as the Street Glide when both are 2 up?

[@Broncoride]

Absolutely

[@timscott70]

@@Broncorideone last question. I’m looking at getting my first bike ever and was thinking Pan America or Street Glide. Will be doing some 2 up riding.

[@Broncoride]

That’s a tough question to answer. What I would do is have your passenger go on some demo rides with you. I’d ride several models. Many people like the Road Glide vs SG, but I’m just the opposite. The PA is an incredible bike and I’m loving it, but the touring models are pretty nice for the passenger. While my daughter was comfortable on the PA, my gut tells me that on long rides, the touring would be better. Everyone is different though.

[@timscott70]

@@Broncoride thanks so much for the input. Awesome kids you have to drive up to see you. I’m in FL and you are 100% correct about the heat. Subscribed and thanks for the quick replies.

Of course Tim. Feel free to shoot specific questions to me at [e-mail] and I hope you find a great fit.

Yes

@@Broncoride has it been reliable. I really don't need it. So I am debating on getting it? Do you think I will be better off with it?

I’m tall, so I really don’t need it. It’s a nice feature at a stop though.

@Broncoride ok thank you very much

[@painsrides3616]

We can not compete with the moto-girls ...not even close.
