The Reason I buy my BMW bikes from Harley Dealerships

[@melofamily8288]

Wish we had a dealer of motorcycle just like you, honest and responsible hands down..your a good dude..God bless..

[@crappy60]

You can buy from SRK and they can ship. 😏

[@TheNATE8599]

so Now we need a video that actually explains WHY he buys a BMW from HD Dealerships

[@rynovanderberg9692]

😂😂 was just about to ask this

[@kenh5710]

I agreed! I watched the whole video and he never addressed it😢

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

Honda used to sell a car with a small motorcycle that was designed to fit perfectly in back.The bike kind of looked like a rideable suitcase.The idea was to drive the car to the edge of busy cities then park and ride the bike to work.I'm not sure that makes sense but its neat.

[@davidenglish2003]

I watch your channel mostly because I miss pa. The Navy brought me to California and now I’m stuck. I love the drive/ride around sessions.

[@johncavar2914]

Honda introduced a limited edition model in 2003 named the Valkyrie Rune with a 1,832-cubic-centimetre (111.8 cu in) engine. It was a major departure from the original Valkyrie in styling and purpose. This model was produced at the Honda motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio.

[@-MacCat-]

That "wishbone" you referred to on the BMW K1300 is the semi-trailing arm, which is part of their telelever suspension system. Once you have ridden one, and/or had to adjust the suspension settings, you will appreciate how well they work. Great video of a day in the life of a tribe of bike flippers. Thanks for the insight 😀

[@KingPreacher]

This is awesome, still praying for your guy's success. Most of my church family are riders so it's fun to spread your videos around. Keep going guys.

[@bartlawhorn2762]

Love that $500 coverup sticker. That’s about how much repairs it was hiding.

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

That's a really nice triumph sweet motorcycle. I like British motorcycle. My father gave me a 1970 royal Enfield motorcycle 736 cc. Interceptor with the secondary shift pedal on the transmission to find neutral. Shifted one up three down shifted on the right side brake on the left. Crome gas tank with a red stripe down the center. Made like a gun !

[@Eatongee]

1:54 Cop got marked on Waze at his last location so he had to move because everyone knew he was there.

[@macfield1776]

watching your channel is the reason im getting a motorcycle. Keep up the good work!

[@greenanon4984]

What did you get?

[@sirwes2924]

Loved the Triumph at the end. One of my most favorite bikes was my old 2000 triumph Sprint RS 955i. It wasn't pretty when i got it but man it sounded amazing with the triple and rode great.

[@daveco1270]

Good lesson learned in this video....always remove stickers to see what damage they might be hiding before paying for the bike. I'm not a fan of putting any kind of stickers on a motorcycle, other than factory decals.

[@salvadordollyparton666]

Yeah, good luck with getting someone to let you peel all the stickers off a bike to check for minor defects... Then, creating defects if the paint/plastic has faded around it, and now there's sticker goo and, hopefully, shiny sticker shaped patches everywhere. If you're that worried about it, just get a new bike. You can do the same thing with stock graphics, if it was laid down. Just put new graphics on road rashed fairings, and it could possibly hide it. So, are you gonna just insist that you be allowed to completely strip everything down to bare material? Again, good luck with that. It's part of buying a used bike. You might not get exactly what you expected, and there are a LOT more important things I'm gonna be worried a out. Some minor blemish covered by a sticker is about the last thing on my list. Unless I just really want it, I'm gonna try and get it for a good enough deal that when one of those little things pops up, it's still not a big deal. You can't anticipate everything, and while you're focused on this sticker, you overlook something that's actually important. Not to mention, nobody is gonna let you start peeling stickers off before it's yours... But anyone who doesn't like stickers, you're not gonna get it anyway. They are scientifically proven to add horsepower and cut drag. You can easily cut a few seconds off lap times with good stickers... Provided you have the right stickers, and the parts to go with them. 🤣

[@milkshakemuncher]

@@salvadordollyparton666 yeah but in this instance, the blemish the sticker was hiding means a complete respray of the guard, not just a little stone chip. I bought a second hand Harley off a dealer which they branded with a small dealer sticker front and rear, when having the bike detailed I asked for them to be removed, true to form there was a small stone chip under the front one. No big deal, very minor, so I can live with it, the bike was otherwise immaculate, but it's still disappointing for people to use stickers to hide things.

[@UnfocusedRacing]

Love the Triumphs in this video. I just picked up a 22 Bonneville Speedmaster about a month ago.

[@Charanms]

Tommorrow Never Dies , Bond movie , Pierce brosnan rode it with Michelle yao's assistance , LOL. This is my favorite among the bond vehicles. They had used the cream and silver in the movie, i just fell in love with the bike. Love to ride it someday and own it as well. Good find.

[@jonathanturner809]

The BMW sounds amazing. I like the idea of the front swing arm

[@dennism103]

I left bmw x3 due to expensive services, it took weeks before they could get to me to. I bought a hd in and out like a pit stop service is fast and reasonable. Customer for life. Harley Davidson is really a great company. There's a reason that they are number one...

[@samanthaalvarez7724]

Dennis Morris yeah you can keep that overpriced scrap

[@rx7driver1]

Why do you compare a car/suv with a bike? That’s like apples and oranges

I guess I missed the “Why” behind buying BMW’s from HD Dealers?

[@ojaichuck]

Yeah, me too.

[@barrydavis7068]

Looked like he liked buying Triumphs from H-D dealers. I'm not going back to look but didn't he buy a BMW from a Mazda dealer?

[@anthonyfrederick2188]

@@barrydavis7068 yes Mazda dealer

[@babayaga1767]

my guess is that it's hard to retail a bmw to harley buyers so he can get them at wholesale or less

[@johnsmith5726]

He got side tracked and forgot what the video was about, hell sometimes I forget what I went into a room for. :-)

[@randolfo1265]

Sticker over the damage. You fell for that and noticed later? Any how, you have the most interesting motorbike vids on you tube right now! Keep up the good work!

[@cheezyridr]

been to hannum's many times, they're right around the corner from me. it's a fun place. i love the r1200c, wish i could own one myself. there used to be a bmw dealer around the corner from there on rte 202 that sold them, back when bmw still made them

[@georgepawlak6806]

would you do me a favor and lubricate the doors on that van before you wear out the hinge pins

[@hewer1953]

George Pawlak it’s too late . Car guys? Lol

The Granite run HD is where I fell in love with Harley Davidson. I’m a Honda guy now though. CRF 450l.

[@jruffin2127]

Bought my first HD from Hannums in 1978 it’s was $3150. For my shovel.

[@soulfly3438]

that road glide is soooooo pretty. after seeing it i feel like you just kinda know what would be your bike. and that style is mine

[@fgcvhhbvjhbj]

You guys need to get SRK Cycles / Bikes n Beards decals on your vans

[@jordanjohnson7264]

Agreed.... Hell, even a friggen magnet sign /ad with your name, logo, and number would do. Then again, maybe running around and conducting business the way they do is the point.. By remaining unknown or recognizable by people. Certainly as the channel continues to grow rapidly, they aren't exactly desperate to get their name out there.

[@jordanjohnson7264]

Doubtful they are hurting for business I guess, ya know? Probably a good idea in the beginning of starting a new company though.

[@fgcvhhbvjhbj]

@@jordanjohnson7264 Yeah I'm sure business wise they're but cheap advertising is always a good thing. Plus I think it looks more professional in my opinion when businesses take the time to put effort into the smaller details, but that's just me personally and I get most people don't feel that way. But yeah, it's super effective, cheap advertising, if done correctly. Think about how much money those billboard pickup trucks charge, you're basically getting the same service, 24/7. And if the branding is done well it can really help getting local potential customers recognising and thinking about SRK. But then again, if they plan on changing the van within a year, might as well just wait. Or as you said get one of the magnets. They're not too bad

[@jesualdotavares4378]

[@earlpayne4297]

I can't believe that you are strapping down the bike with the kick-stand down and in use!!

[@jamesweber4938]

The brown seat on the 214 is just wrong. Needs to be black.

The suspension on the K1600 is a Telelever design. BMW developed it looooooong before Honda.

Using USPS mail totes as your personal junk bins? Hmm, very very illegal (BUT I LOVE IT). Ex-postal worker here so that just jumped out at me when you were digging for your Luna bars. You know it says right on those totes that they're not for personal use and you can face a fine for not returning them to the Post Office. That's okay, I fill mine with potting soil and plant mini gardens on the terrace of my apartment.

Protip: Drain all the coolant from the K1300GT. It will look like mud. Replace with clean coolant and add rust inhibitor. Radiators rot from the inside out in no time at all. Trust me. I do this for a living..
