Bye Road King! - Hello Street Glide Special! | RK & SG-S | NewBikes

[@nicholasmapes]

It always hurts having to surrender an old friend, but we must ride on... beautiful road king brother!

[@Harley88ci]

As your Harley salesman and friend, I am sincerely happy for you.! Also ecstatic that I am the lucky one that got to purchase your Road King! Safe travels Shawn! See you very soon!

[@robtbomba3491]

That Road King is looking very, very nice. Just not an easy decision to make

[@HepcatHarley]

So sad to see the RK go but wow what a replacement, gorgeous! I Love how the HD dealerships treat you over there :)

[@1EasyGoer]

I really like the whole ringing the bell ceremony when you picked her up, Awesome.

[@bobbyblue1953]

After watching this video the first time I watched it again and went out to trade in my 2014 Street Bob for a Road King Classic, it is every bit as comfortable as you said, love it,

[@terryandteresa]

Dang man, you almost made me cry!! I love my bikes too!!! More than ANYTHING else except God almighty!!

[@servicarrider]

I always loved the sound of the cams in that Road King. They had a real nice cadence to them.

[@millionmilesman]

Saludos! I own a 2007 Road King Classic, my first and only bike, I ride 203.000 Km and I hope at least to reach the 300.000 km. It is a beauty Pacific Blue Pearl and my really love. From Mallorca, Spain. Best regards.

[@jeffpalmer5502]

Speaking of barns,when you pointed out the tip of Rainier, that big old barn just before that is my buds farm. I ride around that area frequently as I work up in Dupont. Nice video, nice ride.

[@AkDeluxeRider]

Sad to see the Road King go but she went for a good cause. What absolutely beautiful machine you've got! Congrats my friend!

[@bradrook3919]

A lot of us understand your connection to your baby..I bought my first Harley Davidson just North of you at Destination Harley in Tacoma..grew up in Centralia...live in Texas now..enjoyed the scenery on your trip...the old same roads I cruised on

[@ShawnSmoak]

That is awesome! Thanks Brad!! 👍

[@casper3380]

She is a beautiful . The Road King had a great sound and was a good bike. You still have vlogs to remember the good times. The new accessories will be pretty cool when they show up. Looking forward to some new vlogs with the Street Glide. Congrats on the bike. Will be great on the next meetup. Love the color.

[@ryanenstad8928]

Thanks for sharing the pick up with us Shawn. Congrats and keep us updated!!

[@christopherk3361]

I wanted a street glide but it was a little out of my price range. some day I will have me one. Great looking bike Mr. Smoke looking forward to watching new upcoming adventures with her!! Just remember there is always a sacrifice to every gain.

[@BikerGhost]

that emotion! it's always fun when a friend gets a new bike. thank you for sharing this great moment of happiness with us. as we say in France, "the king is dead long live the king!" and I translate it by "! the road king is dead long live the Street Glide Special" good road Shawn

[@troubleclayton9463]

That bell thing pretty cool when you pick up a bike

[@paullee6663]

I feel your pain Shawn....I know for sure you didn't want to let that 'Old Girl' go..... I just saw your reply to Edward Weiszbeck and know that you relived that pain... You rescued that 'Old Girl' my friend, no one saw what you saw when she arrived in the shop, and she was looking all old and tired....you did good by her, and she served you well, you did what you had to do, and hopefully that young lady looked after that 'Old Girl' in the manor she deserved. Hopefully...she won't be looking for that 6th gear you kept trying to find.....

[@apkn1955]

I'm the same way about vehicles. Sentimental, and I got to tell myself it is an inanimate object.

[@D_in_DC]

Awesome!! When you buy a brand new Harley it's a experience you never forget. I purchased the very first 2015 model Ultra sold at my dealership. One thing about Harley Davidson is that the dealership I've been to are the best! Congrats and enjoy!

[@clarkbabin9799]

Did the same thing a few months back. Loved all bikes I owned. The 05 custom sportster, 07 sportster low injected, and 05 FLHRCI. Had many pleasant rides. Longest trip was from deep South Louisiana to Peoria Illinois. She sat for awhile due to work related injury that has me disabled. Once I started getting a paycheck again I hot her back rolling on the highway. Not long after I started seeing preview of the 2019 bikes. The one that caught my attention most is the road glide special with a 114mk8. Almost left the dealer when they pulled one out of no where with SE1, Rhineharts and tandem docking kitt already installed. Before I knew it I was rolling out with her in industrial gray denim paint. I don't regret getting her because she a healthy beast that even at 70mph when you rap the pipes you fell a jolt of energy that makes you who it he'll yeah.

[@clarkbabin9799]

Roll the throttle before your ready take off and the second cylinder should kick back in.

[@ScratchBabble]

FARKLES! CAN'T WAIT! ☺ Congratulations Shawn. Loved the RK but will enjoy the discovery of this bike!

[@kaoticmotorsports872]

I know how hard it is to get rid of a vehicle. I always get so attached to mine. However sad it is, you do have a nice replacement to make you feel better. Enjoy the Street Glide and make some new memories.

[@Coco9thASOS]

Such a beautiful color combination, this bike can pull off red over white extremely well in my opinion, great video as always Mr.Smoak? Keep up the great work man.

[@SBrandon562]

I just got my first Harley, as well as my first "Road Bike." I got it from my uncle, It's an '03 Road King Anniversary with less than 10k on the clock. It's also got (I believe) a stage 3 kit on it. I'm new to Harleys, But it's got the highest kit you can put on it. It's torqey as hell and it gets up and moves haha I fell in love when I rode my Brothers '16 Street Glide...I really can't wait for summer to come through, I'm going to ride the shit out of my "new" baby.

[@jonbassett8023]

Congrats! Long as you're happy. I just bought a new Road King. I'm not a fairing bells & whistles kind of guy, plus love the larger frame on the Road King. Added Cobra race pro pipes, super tuner & screamin' eagle air intake & power upgrade. Things a rocket!!!

[@williamjohnson4255]

I test drove the RK and SG, both brand new 2015. I went with the RK and have no regrets. I use a Garmin GPS I already had on long trips. Got the HD Boom system which sounds good through my phone or MP3 player. Rinehart pipes to give it a lil rumble :) Larger frame played in my decision too. Also, didn't like the idea of taking my bike to the shop just because the GPS or some other built in feature wasn't working.

[@TheWildace42]

Congratulations on the street glide. Funny thing is I was at that dealership just before you got there that day. I even walked over to your street glide and admired it before leaving. Enjoy it.

[@vulcanman64]

Love the video. I ride a 2014 slim but was thinking of upgrading to a touring bike. Must have felt great sitting in your new street glide but never nice to say goodbye to your old bike. It's like a best friend.

[@7drakkar1]

Damn! That's a Beautiful Bike. Congratulations on the Upgrade *

[@blackhawk2475]

Shawn...Almost had me all emotional watching the last ride on the Ol' "Qween". Time moves on... The Glide looks great. Hope you can find room in your heart for this one just like the Ol' road king. RSMF

[@jskn15]

Your Road King became my inspiration. I bought on just like yours. I can't wait for the Street Glide VLogs.

[@greenbullitt6999]

Wow … for now I can only imagine how awesome this must feel... Soon it'll be me

[@guyanderson327]

You sure love your bike man..Hope your new one brings you joy

[@goodboyringo9716]

Fare well Road King ... its aways sad to see a road king go bye bye, They are a great bike with the right name. The deer had to check out the new bike.

[@dalewilliams3403]

Thanks for sharing the experience. Riding off with the new street glide had me feeling your excitement of a new ride. Hoping to to get my first Harley in May, thinking about the Softail Slim. Would love the street glide, but kinda out f my price range at the moment. Really like your videos. Be safe.

[@jskn15]

Your Road King Inspired me to get get mine. Love the videos. Can't wait for the new Street Glide videos.

[@Challenger0428]

Very nice bike Shawn, congratulations! Now you have two flat black Harley's, its a dream come true.

[@sharkytwo]

Well when I saw this video it reminds me to my RK I sold 2 weeks ago right now after riding 15 years on it .I changed it for a sporster but still have some cool memories after seeing this and a bit of sadness after all because I sold him.Road kings are nice machines .I had almost the same like yours.

[@red808x]

Love to see someone get a new bike ! I know you guys will enjoy it. Great video.

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

Recently traded my FLHR in for an FLHX myself. Was difficult for me to as I checked off a bucket list item and rode Dragons Tail on my ole FLHR. Felt like i betrayed a trusted friend but its been a few weeks now and I love the Street Glide! Thanks for sharing.

[@MkotoLuis]

i love street gilde... i relly like u videos... SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO

[@ShawnSmoak]

Graham Calvert - Yeah, it's really roughing it on this ol gal... Lol. Just messing with ya sir, I know what you're saying. This was quite a while back, and all has been well with the ol' Glide so far. Thanks Graham!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Luis Angel Tellez Urban - Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching.

[@dmyhd]

Congratulations on the new bike Shawn, its awsome !!!!

[@paullee6663]

Holy Moly !! I'm back here for the second time in 3 months! (See my previous comment)You sure don't ride the SGS nearly enough Shawn..... not sure if that salesman knows what you do or who you are... but, I sure would be doing the 'I'm not worthy' 'bows' if I was trying to tell you the 'features and benefits' of a motorcycle....hats off to you Rob, great job! I think the 'trick' to selling a motorcycle is to buy the 'wrong' one in the first place, that way it would be so much easier... I'll let you know when that happens.... hated selling everyone so far....even my Honda SS50 (not sure if they were before your time Shawn...)

[@JP-md4jz]

That's a sweet Street Glide Sean. Congrats and nice video!

[@RoyalToesJason]

Can't wait to see you on that new bike!

[@Azsnas]

I know exactly where this is! I live close to here maybe 5 minutes away. Just bought a Street Glide myself.

[@gwaddles]

Thanks for letting us ride with you.

[@ClassicBikeRider]

nice ride bud, enjoy the hell out of it, winter is around the corner so ride it as much as you can!!!!

[@1976FordGuy]

Dude... Your narration is awesome.. Definitely pleases the nut. Lol! Congrats on your bike.

[@hichammajid6826]

The front mirror look sooo clean

[@slyguyaction]

This just showed up in my feed! Wow. And now Shawn is back on a RoadKing! Nice!!

[@RickieSmith93]

Looking forward to more street glide videos :) Thanks for sharing the pickup of this beauty with us!

[@Tali_the_Dragon]

Congratulations, that is the exact bike and color i want for Harley. looks and sounds good

[@jamestroutman7517]

Hello from Toledo......Ohio 🤟🏻

[@stefanc2242]

Cool vid! Neat to see the whole experience of buying the new bike!

[@simonclark8176]

Loved it !

[@jhask64]

Nice bike! It sounds great, nice deep “quiet” rumble that you even commented on, (it’s so quiet) then proceeded to share how you’re going to mess that up with Screamin Eagles. What a shame. Enjoy that last mellow ride home on your very sharp bike!

[@JimsTrikeAdventures]

Very cool, I know how exciting that is getting a brand new bike. I had to ring a bell as well. Too funny.

[@bbusigful]

Enjoyed this vid alot. Thanx man. My bike has been sitting for 2 years now. Unemployed and havent got the money to fix tyres, brake pads and service. And were i live we only get to ride for 5 months. And two of those are quite cold. Welcome to Scandinavian Viking weather 😆 I am from Sweden.

[@glasgowharleyrider]

I look forward to sharing this feeling on my sportster. The glide is some machine. Enjoy man

[@GoSutto]

Ha! I love the horn salute at the dealer. That was awesome.

[@happytrails1963]

Congrats on the new bike. She's a beauty.

[@robertobiasetti6091]

Thanks for sharing your ride man,looking forward for other videos.

[@jimmy1dee]

Excellent video..ya just have to luv the 'SweetGlide'

[@Luistip]

...congratulatións!!... the best bike, is new bike...

[@TexRider]

Very nice shawn congrats on the new bike looks gorgeous

[@dawnrobb8809]

Congrats on the new Street Glide, sorry to see the Road King go. Have fun & enjoy her. Interested to see your future changes & thoughts on the Street Glide

[@pipedown7992]

Love that road king!!! It's just like mine, color and all. I love her but the days coming when I trade her in for an Electra Glide. I hope you get to put tons of safe miles on your new bike!!!!

[@chrisblake1918]

Very sweet, bro. I am still a Road King rider, but if I got a really good deal, *ahem*.

[@drwells6197]

My aunt lives in Toledo WA. Used to go during cheese days. Very small town.

[@steveimperial7760]

Ur doing the right thing buddy.

[@marshalljohn1]

That was really cool. I can relate. Just bought a street glide. Beautiful motorcycle.

[@kelliew010]

That is a real niiiiccceee ride. Congrats.

[@Ducati848Darren]

Congratulations on the street glide. I am progressing through the H-D models myself. Two weeks ago, I went from a sportster Iron to a Street Bob. Here at my preferred dealer in Queensland, Australia they don't do the Bell / Horn thing. But they do make you feel special. The Street Glide will be my next H-D purchase in a few years. Hopefully keeping the street bob also.

[@ArkansasVapergmailcom]

Congratulations buddy I'm happy for you!!!!😜

[@FNDBakar]

Congrats! man. Safe ride and take care.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Nice one Shawn.... It's always sad to part with an old friend, but the sadness is soon exchanged for the adrenalin rush of a new bike.. I have a heal and toe shifter on my bike and I hate it... I have a bad habit of accidentally knocking it up to neutral when I go to take off... unfortunately mine is a complex setup and can't really be changed to a toe shifter only. I can take to it with a hacksaw and remove the heel part, but I am reluctant to do it...If and when I sell the bike, the next owner might prefer it was there.... Enjoy your new baby - Ride Safe - Ride Far..... Cheers, Dallas

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Super sweet .. Congrats again on the purchase

[@ranchocopper]

I just bought one today!!!! Congrats and ride safe.

[@jhowej3]

I looked at a new Road King, Heritage Softail, and Street Glide..... I decided to keep my 2008 Dyna Glide Low Rider..... I just can't part with it. I love this bike!

[@breakaleg82]

I've heard the bell before but never heard them sound the horns. That was pretty cool!

[@RogueSpear55]

breakaleg82 Our local dealership has a big gong in the front of the sales floor :P

[@yamata86]

Congrats!!!! Funny coincidence, I also traded in my ride for a brand new Street Glide Special this past Wednesday. I love that Denim Black. It has a very cool Rat Rod vibe about it. That was the color of the Street Bob I was trading in, so I decided to change things up and went with Amber Whiskey for my SGS.

[@wvincagold]

Shawn I thought for sure your were getting a cheifton dark. but congratulations great looking horse. love to watch you riding vlog.

[@AnthonysWestTexasRides]

Congrats! That is a cool dealership! I like their initiation upon purchase!

[@innovationgroupofsouthflor4744]

Great video! Beautifl biker ! enjoy

[@rickhowe5787]

Sooooo jealous! Congrats Shawn!

[@austinoliver1949]

Love the look of that bike and am thinking of upgrading to something like that

[@frankyounger231]

thanks for the ride shawn , right now it is the cheapest way too drive a Harley !!!

[@arizonadesperado7171]

I was at Daytona Bike Week, I rode a Victory Vegas, I test rode a Street Glide there, my honest opinion of it, it felt like an aluminum foil POS, but after a couple more test rides, and having an explanation conversation of the difference of the two bikes, I bought an Electra Glide and cruise around a lot without the Tour Pack. All I can say is I am HAPPY with my choice also

[@tonydutcher8861]

Awesome bro I'm hoping I get one this spring

[@danielsmith2881]

Congrats bro. Just sold my 09 night train bout to buy one of these

[@bobbyblue1953]

Good choice Shawn, the technology available these days is amazing. I look forward to seeing your Vlogs on the Glide

[@DcEvoIX]

Congrats Shawn! Beautiful bike. I miss that new bike feeling even though mine is only a couple months old. I wanna go test ride the street bob just to torture myself because I can't even get it right now. Enjoy the new bike ride safe.

[@grashopr1890]

Very nice congratulation,sweet ride.

[@NobilityandLoyalty]

Congrats and enjoy the new steed.

[@darylwinn2702]

Shawn, you have got to be the luckiest guy alive. You work at a motorcycle shop and get to ride the Gold Wings and the Spyders and I think you own a Spyder don't you? Now you inform us you got a Harley too and I think you're getting ready to get a new Street Glide. Man, God sure has smiled on you. I'd give almost anything to have those bikes and trikes. I don't want much, just a Spyder RT, A Harley Road Glide CVO, A Harley Tri Glide Ultra, An Indian Chieftain Trike, A Gold Wing 1800 bike and a Gold Wing 1800 Trike and last but not least, a new Corvette Convertible. See, I don't want much but I guess I'll have to win the lottery first.

[@hermanlewisjr5777]

my friend u and me both the lottery the way out

[@jamieg103]

I love watching your Vlogs. I don't know if you'll appreciate this or not but I kind of feel you are the Bob Ross of MotoVlogs.

Yeap iv had that Lump in the throat feeling a few times .... had to leave the old gel behind 😢 but the new one al put a smile on your face 😊 Love the white clocks was the the 107 ? Lush bike Enjoy

[@roadglide]

Came out of the cave here...You rode your bike into the dealership but the sales guy felt the need to instruct you how to ring the bell. 😂 Sweet bike Smoaks! You done good.

[@0873sp]

Hi, you were talking about the rear cylinder shutting off.....that's because you have the EITMS system enabled. You should be able to turn it off if it is really bothering you.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Yep, simply twist the throttle forward for a moment and it toggles EITMS on or off... Thanks for watching!

[@0873sp]

@@ShawnSmoak yeah. I was going to tell you that. Lol......just make sure you're in the correct menu on your screen
