BEST Group Ride Ever | Trying To Keep Up With This Crazy Guy!! (Part 1)

[@SonOfHutch]

"he's got the knee and everything." haha..LMFAO! thumbs up bro!

[@TheAlienBeard]

Haha thanks man!!

[@geraldscott7441]

For what you are trying to do (go fast) the 883 is the wrong bike. But at 58, I've outgrown the fast thing, and can no longer deal with the riding position of a crotch rocket. I love my 883. I put some V&H Short Shots on it, and it is great for riding around locally on rural roads. In fact it's the most fun bike I've ever ridden. I love the look, the sound, and the vibration. It is after all a MOTORcycle, and motors are supposed to make noise and vibrate. Before the 883 I had a Royal Enfield, and it was also a great ride, unfortunately the quality was VERY bad, and it started falling apart after about 10,000 miles. The 883 is light years ahead in quality, I suspect it will last forever being ridden around at 55-60 mph, which seems to be it's sweet spot, where it sounds and feels just right.

[@ronlheureux7623]

I had and 883 and decided to increase the top end by installing a front belt drive pully by one tooth and it did make a difference. The loss of low speed torque was bare even noticeable.

[@hoya86bug]

Awesome video. I feel your pain on those bumpy roads. The dealership installed a lowering kit on my Iron just so I could reach the ground comfortably (I'm 5'). The ride is rough but I love my 883 anyway. She has V&H slip ons (just cause I like the look more that short shots), stage 1 air breather, Eagle pro race tuner (just months before HD whimped out, whew!), and next week she's getting a screaming eagle 1200 conversion kit. If I were a better rider, my little Iron could probably give a lot of bikes a nice run. She and I shine on Snake Road and Round Top Drive though. 110s may beat us on a straight away but we leave them in our dust on the narrow and winding. And no worries about scraping your pegs. Just lift your foot! lol. Ride it like you stole it!

[@HardRockFairytale]

I am just in love with that sound! Great, deep sound :) especially the idle! Is that a general Harley thing og a unique sound to the 883? :)

[@sgt.squeegee5953]

Hey how's it going? I enjoy all your videos keep them coming. I'll get me an iron this coming February. can't wait

[@TheAlienBeard]

It's going well! How are you? Thank you for liking the videos man! Also Let me know when you get it! I wanna know if you like it as much as I do!

[@an3ony]

fantastic vid man, the quality is amazing. You've probably already answered this a million times but what's your camera setup?

[@TheAlienBeard]

Actually haven't that much! I am using the GoPro hero 3 black edition!

[@wcwbones82]

I like how he uses half the throttle and jokes about not keeping up. You got to Jack it back bro. You babying it.

[@mackdiesel6437]

BOOTS!. GLOVES!. JACKET.! HELMET.! JEANS.! RIDE SAFE!

ya man "boot's"I got hit with boots on in nov and it saved my foot.still can't walk

[@ghank_]

meh. alright. meh. always. meh. done

[@TransmentalMe]

You're more worried about everyone else than you are the ride. Riding for others will get you killed, get out of your head and on your bike. We don't ride for other people.

[@sharpshoter630]

your bike sounds bad ass, and the wind noise wasn't even bad it was great audio I heard you clearly even when the bike was screaming trying to keep up with that 600. perfect ratio between voice and that awesome machine👌. keep up the good work.

[@TheAlienBeard]

Thank you so much man! I really appreciate the feedback. And yes.. I was sure trying my hardest to catch up to that dang 600XD

[@NastyLogic]

"This Guys Awesome!!!" Haha that great feeling when you have a ride buddy.

[@TheAlienBeard]

ABW exactly:D

[@NastyLogic]

TheAlienBeard great vids man. If your ever in Australia hit me up we'll go for a cruise 👌🏻

[@JohnBham]

Embrace the Iron. You're not supposed to keep up with sport bikes- it's on them to look as cool as you. On the other hand, it's a lot more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow. Me? I'm torn between an Iron 883 or a Triumph T100.

[@TheAlienBeard]

john birmingham yeah I only did this little race for fun haha. anyways, I love this bike alot. it's so much fun. both of those are awesome choices, try checking out the Harley 48 as well. good luck!

[@moorshound3243]

I'm on a 883 making sport bike guys wonder how the fuck is he keeping up? It is fun..

[@jerryvelasco1474]

Ah dude both are cool. My buddy got a T100. Sad he moved, almost 2 hours away. The good thing is he moved 2 hours away, rides to go see him are fun.

[@Thisfutureman]

You can convert 883 into a 1200 , that is what i want or else i just buy a 48

[@TacticalSBR]

I could never keep up with groups, by the time I got to the location everyone else had a beer in hand waiting on me.

[@acousticmany]

How do you like the 883? Really considering this bike as my first bike.

[@Samnold1]

saw some potholes and cracks thatt woulda ended you man, this guy must have the sharingan @ 3:36

[@lastactionmedic5677]

Harley is all about the look brother. Perfect bike to go downtown and crack open a cold one with the boys, enjoy the scenery. A lady friend on the back will feel slightly safer too, as opposed to showing up with a CBR 1000 lol.

[@TheAlienBeard]

Angry Medic you are right man, but I do like to go fast every mks and again with this bad boy;)

[@dumbkinit9407]

hows the rpm? mine doesnt accelerate at around 5000 rpm

[@TheAlienBeard]

not too bad.. mine isnt stock though. Do you have any mods on yours? Also I raised the rpm limiter on this one as well.

[@zipper978]

It's not about keeping up. Enjoy your ride and have fun

[@damangkypar4955]

that sound is something else! 🤘

[@thechipe]

Can anyone please tell me if there is a video on how to use the digital display on this bike please and what it all does

[@netrhyda8761]

You're doin' okay, Bud. Upgrade to a 1200 Sportster some day, put at least a stage one kit on her and you WILL be keeping up.;)

[@capitaldd5840]

Dude - GLOVES ARE MANDITORY ! Thanks for posting great video. It's fun ripping around with you. I guess this is an older video- but popped up for me to watch....cant resist a bike video. You complain of it being a little slower than ya want - maybe consider an engine upgrade. Ya can resleave that one to a 1200...... ain't cheap but doable..... cheers

[@dalebuettner1089]

I have the 1200 conversation with V&H grenade air intake and V&H short shots. Do you have a 1200 conversation??? I know I love it!! It's a huge upgrade!!! Yes I got a screaming Eagle tuner toooo.

[@dippitydoinit]

I think you're shifting too soon man. 883 makes the bulk of it's horsepower near the redline so wind it out more before shifting.

[@Razor24]

whats the top speed u touched do u get a windscreen for this bike

[@brucedavis5660]

I love that the sporster is still air cooled .the new bike's look fked with rads hope S&S keep's building the EVO & RVO's for chopper and bobber build's

[@TheAlienBeard]

Me too, I absolutely love the look of this bike.

[@mihamarincek2574]

Good video m8

[@TheAlienBeard]

Thank you asdfkjasfbewakfjdska !

[@igbl108]

anybody know what jacket he's wearing? would love to know

[@MindsetBuildsControl]

Harley wheelies are not dumb sir , they are pretty awesome

[@jamescampbell1743]

You're finally wearing a jacket! LOL. Now you just need a nice pair of gloves. :)

[@TheAlienBeard]

Haha I would wear a jacket more except it stays so dang hot down here and I hate being that hot!!

[@jamescampbell1743]

Haha! Then maybe you should move to cooler places.

[@TheAlienBeard]

True that! Except I probably wouldnt be able to ride all year round;)

[@mopman3113]

I installed the V&H NO2 intake, have high flow V&H exhaust, then installed Fuel Pak 3. Flashed the bike. Have more power through the entire rev range and raised the rev limit. Made the bike a whole lot more fun. Next, looking at installing biltwell keystone handlebars. Mustang solo seat has been replaced with Biltwell solo seat.. much smaller and shows a lot more rear fender. If you want more go fast and popping from exhaust replace that stock intake.

[@TheAlienBeard]

Thank you man! how much are flashes anyways? And yeah I am thinking about returning this seat for a solo seat as well, mustang seat is too large.

[@mopman3113]

The Vance and Hines Fuelpak 3 is $400 from Revzilla. But ordering it from Amazon is about $100 cheaper. The bluetooth sync with your phone is really cool, can give you real time info for fuel mileage and engine stats. Download the app for your phone, you can play with the features and see the options in a demo mode. Agreed on that seat. Its very comfortable when riding, like a leather cloud for your butt. When stopped and straddling the bike its about 3 inches too wide. I kept mine. For long rides, where I know I will only be stopping for gas I will use that seat, short rides that seat doesn't work very well.

[@TheAlienBeard]

mopman311 well I may just order it soon, how much of a difference in power will I see if I get that and the air cleaner do you think? I will definitely give my seat a try and see if it's okay or not.

[@mopman3113]

I don't have the stats on the power difference. Butt feel, its quite noticeable. With the stock seat installed wide open throttle from 2nd gear up will easily slide you all the way back in the seat. With the small solo seat that I have installed I've had to back off how hard I accelerate.. cause staying planted isn't doable. The RPM range is increased, throttle response is better, and power is increased through the RPM range.. there is no more power fall off at high RPM. Before installing the kit I could feel the power drop and knew to shift.. without that feel I have pegged the rev limiter a few times. Going wide open throttle is a ton of fun now. The 883 won't ever be a street bike, but with the high flow exhaust, high flow intake, and fuelpak 3 it makes the 883 what I should have been from the factory. What I found after I installed was that my clutch started slipping. The RPM would rev high and the bike wouldn't accelerate accordingly. Looked up instruction on how to adjust the clutch lever and the engagement pad. The clutch was far too loose.. wasn't even close to Harley recommended settings. I will be upgrading my clutch pack soon. I mention that just as a caution. Double check your adjustments before making the mods.

[@johnharris7353]

Damon here's another example of what I don't like about harleys..." the way it should of been from the factory " folks gotta change almost everything ( at huge expense ) to get decent performance out of it...other manufacturers, no!

[@badabingbadaboom9251]

what exhaust are you using?

[@TheAlienBeard]

I am using some python exhaust! I am not sure the exact name but they don't sound bad! haha

[@admiration4442]

Hey bud, would you still recommend buying an iron 883?

[@TheAlienBeard]

For a first bike?

[@admiration4442]

I currently own a Cbr300r 2017 model

[@TheAlienBeard]

@@admiration4442 what kind of riding do you do?

[@admiration4442]

Intown when sunny & ride with an mc some weekends for a couple hours

[@TheAlienBeard]

@@admiration4442 I think an 883 would be perfect. It may be a bit slower than the 300 but cruisers are more than just going fast

[@greggtanner7742]

97 mph 4 gear before hit rev limiter on my 883 hell yes it keep up. Don't by a low if you want nice ride on pot holes and that can turn corners. Have fun be safe.

[@gohachi5313]

Yeah bro, you dress for the fall, not for the ride. I wear full gear all the time. If you ever go down, you'll know it. You'll appreciate all your gear when you go down at +60mph. Ask me how I know.

[@TheAlienBeard]

gohachi I bet you're right man! thanks!

[@shawnjarman9860]

gohachi back in 02' I T-boned a donkey up on Mt Charleston in Las Vegas, Nv at 70 MPH, only think I was wearing was, fingerless gloves, jeans, T-shirt, boots, and a leather vest, riding a 98' HD Classic UltraGlide, totaled the bike but personally had very little injuries, bruised left butt cheek, and a scratch on my left arm, donkey didn't fair so well! He/she didn't get up 😢

[@moorshound3243]

Philthy Phil uhhh.... yeah pretty much!

[@jeffmckeown9639]

I one hand it on straight aways. Just more comfortable. Not on turns.

[@joelburch6018]

so my question is why the 883 over the 48?

[@TheAlienBeard]

Great question! Maybe I will make a video about that soon;) But I liked the cheaper price overall. haha

Dont have it sadly:(

[@gregww101]

[@tulipenoire369]

[@unionpride525]

"We died"

[@indiangiver1120]

You kept up just fine!

[@scabbytattoo9989]

Bah ride with the gear you want! It's your health, I've never in my life until these last few years have I heard soany people tell me what I should and shouldn't wear on my bike. Sorry fuckers I didn't know you paid for my bike and passed the endorsement test for me as well.

[@renstimpyfdq392]

there are laws for a reason

[@scabbytattoo9989]

Wth did that have to do with my comment? In the USA you need only a helmet and in some states not even that so........get bent and go tell someone else how to live there life

[@moorshound3243]

fuck the laws ride hard roll free!!!

[@jeeves6490]

No it's about other peoples personal safety. Which, surprisingly enough, is none of your, or my business. Live and let live, or not.

[@speedbuggy16v]

LOL, get a set of pipes and use the throttle more, my 883 low is stock other than a set of vance and hines short shots, it still probably would not have a chance against him, but its a lot more peppy than that. Still tops out at 110 though, time for a big bore kit. Oh and grinding pegs is FUN!

[@TheAlienBeard]

sounds exactly like me!! I can't wait until I get the big bore kit. what one are you going for? also I'm thinking about raising my bike up a few inches in back to help with scraping. whatcha think??

[@speedbuggy16v]

I am going to a 1250 on my daily rider and raising the rear a bit I think, maybe some progressive springs and better shocks later. The old bike a 90 883 sportster is going to go nuts, probably a 100+ inch kit much like the I think it is 124 inch one that is on you tube from europe. One kept somewhat tame and reliable and on that is flat nutz.

[@TheAlienBeard]

Yeah me too man, I can't wait for that mod.. also nice about the suspension! I was going to do the same as well most likely!

[@TheAlienBeard]

thank you man! and YES we shall dual that motovlog! we gotta definitely do ALL OF THE ABOVE!! can't wait man!

[@pwntwtf]

i've been riding harleys for 10 years now, and gloves and a jacket aren't necessity to fit in or whatever. that's what yuppies who've never ridden harleys tend to think and go the whole nine yards with them. many old bikers wont hesitate to hop on with a t-shirt and no gloves and go for a ride.

[@andrewdreyer7765]

Is that light on your check engine light?

[@joechiorazzi8139]

well you don't want to burn your ankle on the exhaust lol and if you can invest in something like Kevlar pants because jeans will rip instantly in an accident

The way to NOT grind your pegs is to get yer behind half off the seat and get a knee out. Then the bike is more upright but the weight is inside of the turn. But, get gloves. I'm an idiot, but even I would rather squid a t-shirt than no gloves. Your hands and head and knees and behind will find the pavement if you ride rubber side up. The main limit on a bike is the rider and his skills. This is real biker. And he's on a Harley. Give the video 40 seconds. And the drift at 48 sec is sumptin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHfdmZZpnpWDiLs

Doesn't make you look "unprofessional" who gives a shit what anyone wears when they ride. I actually really fuckin dislike those kinds of people, as if they really give a shit about your safety and what you wear. Whats the point of riding some sweet ass bike if you aint lookin bad ass on it. Me personally, I have a good balance of "cool" gear and safety... Don't gotta be all bright green vested out n shit lol fuckin stupid lol but to each his own... ride how ever the fuck you wanna ride.

[@TheAlienBeard]

kentstank that's as if your relating back to the helmet law, which only let's people put them self in danger if they want to do so. me saying that about being unprofessional is my personal opinion and how I view what I wear.

[@SharJ24]

@TheAlienBeard: If I die while not wearing any gear, I hope everyone appreciates how bad ass I looked on my bad ass bike.

[@SharJ24]

@kentstank: Why count on dying? Just saying I'd prefer my odds wearing ATGATT. I don't care for it and as a female I would prefer to look cute rather than Miss safety. Of course riding a motorcycle isn't the safest thing in the first place. I just want to be seen by psycho driver's so I go overboard with my gear and armor. Still though, why not wear the basic protective gear? (Not you personally) I get what you mean though. Everyone has to put in their two cents, but should leave out the name calling and what not.

Luckily he wasn't trying to lose you. You're on one of the slowest bikes on the market I think... do yourself a favor and get a dyna!

Maxwell Actual what's that??

[@MaxwellFaro]

TheAlienBeard: I feel like I'm being messed with... They're obviously no sport bike but the torque, gearing and weight distribution makes for a bike that's light and maneuverable for city riding and an absolute joy on the highway. I'm specifically speaking of the 103ci with the 6 speed trans. I'm sure that prior Dyna models are pretty close to as good also.

[@TheAlienBeard]

Maxwell Actual now I never said it wasn't good or wasn't fast. compared to sport bikes of course it isn't going go win. I made this video for fun though, not to make a point or prove anything about either bike.

I was talking about the Dyna family of HD bikes, they're nimble for their size and they have incredible pick-up even at highway speeds due to the high torque. The sportsters are super cool but very limiting it seems like to me. Test ride a couple Dynas I'd love to hear your opinion coming from a sportster owner.

How old are you lmao,

[@jasongartner5267]

I like riding with no gloves

[@Delta088]

One word......Indian

[@codyangelette7265]

I never understood the whole "wear gloves while riding" I don't think it's really that necessary as people make it seem to be

[@zachariahstales4646]

go down first and have your hands come up completely skinless. Then maybe you'll understand

[@swampssa]

Obviously haven't ever rode.

[@zachariahstales4646]

Doom Guild are you talking about me? I've never went down personally but know people who have went down and ended up with their skin hanging from their hands.

[@SMclintosh]

Cody Angelette your hands are so complex. Crash with no gloves and you’ll be asking for help to go pee pee. Or worse...
