2021 DAYTONA BIKE WEEK - MY FIRST TIME THERE!

Hello KZbinrs! A special hello to my fellow PRELOADERS! For those of you that aren't PRELOADERS yet, hit that subscribe button and become one. In this video I visit Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Florida for the first time. It was a lot of fun! The best part of this event was meeting some of my PRELOADERS! There were a couple of PRELOADERS that I was in contact with and wanted to meet, but unfortunately we weren't able to make it happen. I'm sure we will meet eventually Eli and Karen.😊
I also did a live KZbin video with Traveling Tall, where we did a 2 hour Q & A session with our subscribers. That was a lot of fun! If you get a chance, definitely check that video out.👍🏾
And lastly, I have a very big surprise for you guys in this video! Go in and check it out!!
You may be asking yourself, who are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

Robert. You just bought that motorcycle from one of my good buddies from high-school.! Expensive bathroom trip 🤪.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Really?! Was he a trouble maker in high school as well? 😂

[@tjinytjiny6615]

That Condor Chock is phenomenal. I purchased one to mount on my Aluma Fold Up Trailer. It holds the bike rock solid. I've had it for 3 years, LOVE it. I'm on my 3rd Wing. My first Wing was a used 1994 that had low mileage. I went to buy oil to change the oil on my Honda 750K, and left with my 1st wing. Lol. So you're not the only one..

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks! It’s funny how these things happen. I went to take my nieces car for an oil change and bought a G70. 😂

[@vincenthyman895]

Mr. Simmons: You might want to get your hips x-rayed to see if you have joint narrowing because of cartilage loss. If you are not too far gone, there are other options than joint replacement. I caught my hips too late, so I had both total hip replacement but I am glad that I did and now I can ride in a car and motorcycle pain free.

Great looking trailer. What are the specs? Will you do a video on its setup?

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Chad! It's a 7x12. I may do that because I've been getting a lot of questions about it.

[@golf4fame]

You sold me on the condo pit stop. I just ordered one, and they're on sale too!! I don't have a trailer, but it'll be great to use in my garage, to save space! Just wondering, I noticed you always get up on the high side, you even mentioned it in this vid. Why? I have ridden for 30 years, off and on, but began with a dirt bike taller than I was. I was taught to grab the front brake, so no roll, and hop on from the low.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Did you get one? Good for you! I didn't even do my video review yet. Well not the full video review. Ill be doing that this week.

[@golf4fame]

@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle ordered .. it'll be here in a few weeks. Yes, can't wait to hear your "why" on why you mount that side.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

@@golf4fame Yes there are two reasons I mount and dismount my motorcycle from the high side. The first reason is from training. Officers usually pull over on the right side of the road and when doing so, we are trained to dismount the motorcycle on the non-traffic side for safety. The second reason is it avoids accidentally causing scuffs on my saddlebags or backrest or anything else that may be victim to a swinging foot. This also includes a passenger being on the motorcycle while you're getting on. The third reason and most relevant one for now is it's easier. My hips are bad so not having to swing my legs up and over the seat is very beneficial. Hope that helped.😊

[@golf4fame]

Awesome! Thank you for the insight! I'm gonna try, just to be ready for both sides, if ever needed.

Safety first when riding. I don't ride a motorcycle. However I do ride an electric bike. So it's almost a motorcycle. So these training videos by you, and the ones by Motorman, a retired motor officer as well. I use these as the tools for myself to be a better rider as well. Have a good day. P. S. : I l like the way the video editing was done. Riding the motorcycle on a ball in the sky. That's what it looked like. And riding on the road that is straight. But it looked like you were driving in a circular road. And that's about it.

"Annoyed with myself!" If I had a nickel for every time I got annoyed with myself I would be a millionaire. Last week I had just completed a valve inspection on my Honda ST1300 and was waiting for some Hondalube to arrive from Amazon so I could reinstall my valve covers. I decided while I was waiting to replace the air filter cover to save some time. While doing so I dropped one of the screws into the cam chain galley that ended up behind the clutch basket. After hours of trying to find it with a borescope and a flexible magnet, I decided I needed to remove the front engine covers and oil pan. To make matters worse, while removing the front engine and water pump cover, the manual fails to worn you that you need a special tool to keep the water pump chain in place while removing the cover. If you don't do this, the chain and sprocket disengage and it is a couple more hours trying to get it back in place. All said and done, this turned out to be about 10 hours worth of work as well as new gaskets, new O rings, new thermostat (since I was already in there) and a whole lot of frustration. Moral of the story, always replace the valve covers when working with anything above the heads. Love your channel. Ps. Where can I find a wife that lets me get a practice bike like that:) You are blessed!

Thanks for the videos and your time teaching the people the right techniques. I have been riding around 30 years and slow riding is a skill that I need to perfect. Most of the rides I have had are usually FJR 1300s, KTM 1290s adventures and some sport bikes. For my retirement present I decided to get a bagger. 2020 Indian chieftain Dark horse. My profession I worked in was similar to yours but I wore green for work for about 26 years.

Another fantastic video Robert. Thanks for taking us on your Daytona adventure. And that's one fine looking King. Man I do hope you can make Sturgis in August. I'll be there good Lord willing and maybe I'll get a sticker! 🙂

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Kurtis! It’s my pleasure. 😊

[@TD205]

Awesome video as always!! Congrats on your new Road King!! Nice looking bike. Is it possible to raise that windshield if your satisfied with the current height? Seems like you gentlemen had a good time in Daytona. Saw Tall's videos also. Stay safe!!👍🏿

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much! Unfortunately that's it. And I found out its a CVO windshield and they don't make it any higher. I just ordered another one today. I'll sell this one. Of course I'll give my PRELOADERS 1st dibs and then if there are no takers, it's off to the Marketplace.

[@hermanbrown4786]

I like that new Road King Special Robert, I am a RK driver myself and I love the RK. Again, nice bike and nice deal on the price and mileage. One more thing I totally agree with the wife approved thing just for that very reason that you both are in check at all times. Great day my friend and take care.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much Herman!

[@thejerseyj9422]

I've never been to Bike Week but if I was to go, I'd be trailering too. It is March after all, and it's a long ride from New Jersey to Daytona. You've done your seat time and you have earned a comfortable ride.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks brother!

[@kmurray96]

That video was great! I was going to go to my first Daytona this year. Moved into Deltona, 30 miles away, about a year ago. In the hospital with pneumonia instead. Your video was just what the doctor ordered. Thanks!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much! Take it easy and get well soon.👍🏾

[@blakes336]

I did my first practice session the other day i just wanted to say your videos are so helpful and full of awesome info, ill try and send u a photo next time. After my first practice I’d rate myself a 4. If your going to Sturgis this year love to say hi and meet u.

Hey Robert, I really enjoyed the entire video of the Daytona trip I can clearly see the techniques taught in slow speed practices. I Am so proud be apart of the pre-loader family. I was extremely proud of how you navigated the tight figure 8 course like the boss you are commanding your motor cycle . I am a four of ten and hope to be much better. Started out as a two. I will be purchasing some you merchandise items keep doing what you do and also I have been married 35 years and you are absolutely right to talk with your wife on major purchases. That’s God’s order which is decent and in order. If you are coming to California give a shout out and I know will meet you to show you the town!!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hey JT. Thank you very much! I am proud to have you as a part of the family brother! Also, thank you for the compliments!👍🏾😊

Even the most experienced of us can make a mistake and learn from it! I appreciate the vid and the exploration of Bike Week, haven't been there since 99 but glad to see it went well this year. Are you getting out to Sturgis?

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Leo. I would like to, but I doubt it.

[@SQUID_Road_Glide]

Bro, your Street Cred goes up every time you open you! Thanks for taking care of your wife and your community by wearing a mask. Anyway, you called it, “Checking In,” I call it, “Harmony.” My wife and ai come together for what Fortress Talk, this started as closed discussions at the end of the day. Now it happens on the fly. It is based on the notion that relationships are forged, like steel, in the fire of communication. I told my wife about this 2018 Stage Four Fat Boy. Her response was exactly the same as yours…and you and I did it for the same reasons. I started out and still love the Tundra, but I want to be loved on so I now own a Ram. 🦅 of a 🪶 Brah.

Awesome ride with a bunch of cool guys. Hopefully, this Jersey Pre-Loader will be able to drive down for a practice session in April. Ride safe all.

I got stuck once with a broken kickstand spring as well and it was a real hassle. Since then I always carry a extra kickstand spring and a simple tool to slip it on with. Takes less the a minute. When you practice a lot like us it is a must.

Good to see you had fun down there Robert. Bummer on the tie downs man, sorry to see your bike fell over, especially on a brand new bike, but could of been worse, like going down the road for much further. I also saw your chat with Tall down there. Tall's an entertainer for sure, but I think a bit commercial now, IMO. You mentioned Legends, I hope you had an opportunity to talk with them. Tall mentioned Ohlin's are the real deal, well, they are good shocks, but I would not rule out Legends, hand made in Sturgis SD, with a life time warranty. Absolutely love mine. Ride safe.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hey Russ. Thank you very much! Yes it was fun. I absorbed some information for next year. I'm sure I will be satisfied with either shocks. There was no one available at Legends while I was there.

[@0369DevilDawg]

Wow! See you on the course with other former NYPD motorcyclists I kept yelling and laughing! I was happy to see you wearing your mask too. I'm planning on "representing" in the Philippines by ordering some gear from you. Great information and A Job Well Done. I rode my first Yamaha 125cc in 1965 while stationed here in the Philippines. I didn't ride again until I bought 1or 3 electric motorcyles in 2016. I bought my first big bike last July, 2020, a dream come true since the age of 8 yo. I'm a 3 in slow riding. Challenge: try rriding an electric bike lol. As always, I am very motivated to be riding my motorcyle at a ripe young age of 75. Thanks for sharing your inner wisdom. and stay safe brother!
