I don't judge yourself and your safety into your borough, but your motorcycle is parked inside your home. There are some gossiping about. People talk, you know.

@@ReneMongeau1 gossip…..go sipp, and listen. But Danny does not drinks alcohol, and he has to much of a mind set to listen to what others say.

At the age of 60 and after owning 25 bikes I brought my first Harley a lowrider st, absolutely love it best bike I have ever owned.

[@stevildeleon8467]

I been wanting a bike since 02" got out of prison and just wanted to ride. Family kids kept taking my dream..I continue to work.. divorce addiction all madness behind me. And my brother does.. murdered ran down on his Harley 9/11/21. Been in a fog since. I wanna ride.. I'm 50 bout to get me one

@@doricdavethere’s always that one person.

[@ccgg3913]

Just got my ST. Reasons why I bought one: - 117 engine is perfect and needs no upgrade - great suspension - fairing very effective - solid side bags very practical and safe - lean looks

[@jimanders9971]

It needs an upgrade unless you are happy with anemic power.

[@fvgc454ss]

The 117 definitely needs a cam pipe and tune to make it worth while. I got 10k on mine. Front fork is way too soft for hard riding in the mtns. Front brake rotors wer warped around 7500 miles. The fork being non adjustable is irritating. But overall I like the bike a lot but definitely needs some upgrades if u ride aggressive.

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Hats off to Harley for recognizing how beautiful the '84 Goldwing was... and still is since they're still found in the wild.

[@Henry.58]

If I was going to drop 44 G's on a bike, it would be on a 50's- 60's Panhead chopper and then you would be living the Dream ! I guess I'll stay with my 2014 Ultra...FFS Harley has lost their minds on the pricing ! I'll tale col's panhead anyday over the new stuff !

​@@erniethompson33ohh that's the truth. 😮

[@Chumbucketsecret]

Danny, truth be told, you made me buy my Lowrider st. After 6 years of riding & watching your videos I decided it was time to pull the trigger. 1100km in the saddle so far & it’s amazing!

[@saddlemenusa]

Such a great bike, thanks for including us Danny

[@MillionDollarBogan]

thanks for helping out !

[@saddlemenusa]

Truly our pleasure- enjoy the ride!

[@orli2940]

Saddlemen can u plz tell me what seat model/specs is the one Danny purchased from u so that I can order mine today plz

[@ozyape78]

What a beautiful bike. That paint is phenomenal. I am stoked to see how happy you are with it straight out of the box. Looking forward to seeing the build evolve.

[@paulelliott454]

I love a good honest review. I love how you were 50 m from your home and you were already saying how great the suspension is. So good to watch a good review Dany thank you the bullshit review you have no idea

[@BOGZLR]

It's good to see someone who owns this bike actually riding it and not trying to make money of others who weren't able to preorder. Keen to see what mods you do Danny.

[@manimalsteele]

I love my lowrider st, best bike I’ve bought from Harley. Up to 12k miles on it in 6 months, still no issues…other than the loathing I feel towards the clam shell bags, I’m switching to top lid bags like the old fxr tour bags. Cheers! Can’t wait to see what you do to it.

[@themoorster6534]

Have to agree, the clamshell is a flawed design they look great, don't get me wrong! But, impractical.

[@conawayjb]

Ahh the joys of being single, park it in the house. Love it!

[@OgglyGoogly]

Many do that with wives and girlfriends also.

[@warrant5155]

I love it "if I'm experienced enough", you are a humble man Danny. I totally agree that the new softails are the best bike from HD yet.

[@andrèharrison7164]

The old mates with the private roads are handy!

[@intergalacticshovel]

The black license plate looked great. What looks better than standard on the low rider st is the “lay down “ license plate holder. Beautiful bike!

[@westho7314]

Well get some KM's on the new scoot & as Colin @ Geelong says after his greeting of f- off,,haha, good idea to take the rough edges off all the Engine & Trans internals before breaking the box open, Get all the mods done then all you have left to do is to install some Pan American knobbies on her, cover that diablo red paint with a pile of destination unknown stickers & hit the outback dirt tracks & test that on point suspension. Off Topic, But I have an old HD rider friend who lives near Bendoc, Victoria, His name is

[@jeremycox8261]

These are my favourite episodes. Geelong HD, such a fine show.

[@Mrproper86]

Make sure when you close the bags , that you push em and hold them while pushing the lever down, it should go down and stay,4300 miles on my low rider st. Bags never opened

[@alanbiggar1874]

Great content as usual! After returning from a 2200 mile road trip across France and Spain Im so impressed with my FXLRST. I used the HD tall screen and had a fuel map installed with Cobra NB slip on exhausts fitted. The tune (fuel map) transforms the power delivery! You are going to be amazed when you have your cam fitted !!! Enjoy 🎉

[@zrofux8327]

Always good having these mates with private roads 👌🏻

[@fugi9604]

Beautiful color for rolling over stones, rocks, desert, mud.....

Beautiful bike Danny congratulations!! The saddleman seat is gorgeous!!!

[@RoadRushNation]

Yup happen to know George Bryce!!! Danny he's a legend in the motorcycle drag racing world!! Just shared with him that you're going to use one of his cams.

[@MillionDollarBogan]

thanks - maybe he can come to Geelong Harley !

[@taylorblackstock6919]

I would put the CR485 cam in contention as well, fantastic numbers and feel when paired with a quality 2:1 pipe, pulls hard, and when tuned, runs 300kms to the tank.

[@FASIGMAN]

Harley-Davidson.. A true master piece and a big piece of history.

You failed to mention in your resume that you’ve pretty well ridden Harleys on terrain where nobody else dare ride one.

[@billyflanagan9657]

My 1985 fxrs low rider was my favorite bike of all time that I owned. Great job Danny

We know you're experienced. We've watched you for a few yrs now. Nobody can say otherwise

[@Peteslife]

About time we see this new bike.

[@trippontwowheels]

Hi Danny, hope you’re well and had a great Easter. I rode the Low Rider ST for the first time a couple weeks ago here in Texas. Extremely impressive bike. Hope you continue to enjoy yours! -Tripp

[@johnbeardsley7360]

good luck with the new bike....I like how you get excited like when you got ur seat, enjoy.

[@officialwildcardadventures]

I've had a lot of non Harleys, a 2005 Sportster 1200 that I taught myself to weld on so could custom fab a sissy bar. In the three years I had my 18 Street Glide Special I put 63,000km in Canada having not left the Province of Nova Scotia. Lol. I've got 53,000 on a Pan America that I rode to Belize.

It's criminal that you don't have millions of subs , love your content and style! Keep it up, brother.

[@gerryrandolph]

I like that HD is starting to expand their market a bit with the styling of the bike. It’s different from the traditional street or road glides which is nice to see. Color is beautiful, but personally, the fairing is a detractor for me. It’s a bit blunted for my tastes. But that’s the beauty of these bikes, you get to make it YOURS and get it looking like YOU like. You will get the “that’s 391 of 1000, changing anything is going ruin the value”. Bullshit the value is what you decide it is. Enjoy it my friend

[@dennishardy4402]

Not sure why you are having the pannier problems mate. I bought my LR ST 4 months ago and in 8000klm have never had a pannier come open while riding. Yep great bike, after 25yrs away from HD this one got me back in the team. Cheers Ned

[@adziepollard]

Good to have mates with private roads Danny 😄

[@iamReef]

Bloody oath mate! I’m looking at the very same bike. Currently I ride a 2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. Awesome bike but being a vertically challenged bloke with only a 29”inseam and the bike being almost 36”at the seat makes for challenging dismount 😂. Looking forward to your review cobber.

[@johnphelps9290]

Just picked up an ST myself and the bike is a blast to ride

[@sproston3695]

OK, that's just fine, but what about your "Marine One" bike sitting & getting dusty at Laidlaw's in California? Is it now a museum piece?

[@stefanwolf1178]

Hey Danny, great to see that you are actually riding it. Many people just buy these limited edition bikes and put them away in their garage, as an investment. I bought #1097 and I am also riding it. Great bike, I have not made any modifications yet and postponed it to after 1st service. Did you know that Jekill&Hyde has a exhaust system that is designed exclusively for the El Diablo?

[@mojomanmurph1925]

After watching your videos, you truly have way more experience than most riders. Better not put a scratch on it or it's your azz mate. LOL! Enjoy your new toy.

[@On2WheelswithDennis]

Love the bike Dan !!, I’ve installed the 30/30 from Star racing in my 117 lowrider s and it rips pretty hard 👍👍 stay safe! Regards Dennis

[@bullymac68]

Congrats on the new bike Danny, you deserve it! Looks amazing and great to hear you’re so happy with it. Ride safe 👍🏻

Danny .. it’s great to see you enjoying your new low rider st and having fun with your friends. Take care of yourself.. Sending you this Greeting from South Carolina, United States of America!!

[@AnarchistBogan]

Best bike Harley’s done in recent times. Brilliant bike

[@WestfallWorx]

I hope you get new tins to paint and save the anniversary ones

[@grayghost1423]

It's not Anniversary paint, it's a limited edition paint job.

[@peetje28021970]

Seriously looking forward to your journey upgrading this beautiful bike and the adventures you're going to have on this one.

[@kwill9686]

Sooo looking forward to such a ‘down to earth’ solid review - awesome!

[@checker3694]

Bought my new sand pearl low rider st 2 weeks ago, dealer had El Diablo 500 miles and stage one for £28k sterling. The colour spoils it for me though, the paint finish is sublime and worth the extra if you like burgundy.

[@CanadianHarleyRider]

Hey Danny....you'll love the Saddlemen seat once it gets broke in, I have a Saddlemen Dominator seat on my Roadglide, the gel seats from Saddlemen are incredibly comfortable.

[@jeffrydiamond]

Greetings, Bogan. If you haven't researched it yet, to make it go faster (22:12) you can try the staging kits: Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3. Or, you could switch to a chain final and choose sprockets that change the RPMs to allow a higher red line. Hope this helps. Nice bike by the way. For me, the 2014 Low Rider (two-tone orange/bourbon brown paint) is still one of my favorites. Cheers!

[@buddylove9484]

The reason you’ve became a (KZbin) Star…is because you’ve let your Harleys be the star. 🤠👍🏽

[@feloniousmonk3049]

Danny, also in the USA, the tune chip seems to have some sort of limiter on the torque available at any RPMS up to about 500 or 600 miles. That is, it seems to not pull torque off of idle up to 2500 -2800 rpms as it should. You will notice the bike runs a heck of a lot stronger with more torque, by the time to get past 1600 km. It will be VERY noticeable, the change in torque off of idle, once a certain amount of mileage is logged but before your first 1500 km service. Wait for it, it's impossible not to notice.

[@bikerbuddy3166]

Bloody good review love your honesty and your time in the saddle definitely gives you the experience to do that much love from the uk 🇬🇧 🙏❤️🇬🇧

[@MrGrinderman]

Bought a 2017 Low Rider S new...my first ever new bike. Is it the greatest bike on the planet? Probably not. Do I love it? More than oxygen. Will I be buried with this bike? Yes. Yes I will.

[@leftymadrid]

I don't have that kind of money, wish I did! Then I would buy a Harley for sure... I've come from California where there are way more Harley Davidson bikes . Now I live in Spain, the outskirts actually, the roads out here are fantastic for bikers! I've seen other video blogs of yours, always fun to see!! Safe riding ✌️

[@RyanTaylor1223]

I'm glad you got it. I love that model. Can't wait to see how you customize it!

[@MyRiderBiboul57]

Bonjour, merci pour cette belle vidéo, je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi, le low Rider ST est sensationnel, il a un couple impressionnant, une stabilité et un équilibre parfait, effectivement les suspensions sont au top pas besoin de les changer. Par contre les pots d'échappement sont à changer, pour un son magique, envoûtant, de plus les voitures t'entendent et le gibier dans les forêts s'eloignent. Bonne route

[@johnh2349]

Truth is, it’s the best looking fairing since the new Road Glide. Maybe all the old ones people thought they looked ugly back in the 70’s and threw them in the back of the garage or even in the trash and now that they’re $2,500 US, maybe they’ll go down.

[@JamanRooney]

Thus is a rerun I watched the other day .

[@jetag93]

You’re gonna love that 30/30 cam. I have it in my low rider s and it’s awesome.

[@danmceldrew9957]

That's my cvo road glide, can't speak more highly of geelong hd and adelaide bikeworks/quickfix mildura, two very good dealerships that just want people out riding their bikes...

[@ka-bar5060]

Yes, the bikes have a governor from the factory because of EPA requirements which sucks, but otherwise absolutely awesome.

[@BraveClam]

It's made a nice "statue" in your front door for awhile - Cannot wait to see the direction you take it once it's been properly modified

[@freebird7284]

nice, it's about time for Harley to release a candy red color option for regular price, then i might buy, and only then.

[@oldamerican8070]

This was my first time catching a video of yours, very well done. Glad to hear you like the bike. Entertainment factor is excellent. Be safe!

[@SouthernXNZ]

That seat was 2mm from being toast... you could see where the scissors had cut through the paper inside the box 😂

[@gingebrien2408]

I love the look and have considered getting one. The one thing I don’t like is the bags. Don’t like those side openers. Prefer the lid nothing falls out. That would be the first mod I would do.

[@Two-Dads]

I've got the same seat for my dyna, they bloody suck to start, look good but bloody uncomfortable. After bout 5000k's they wear in and feel decent but it's a struggle till then

[@TheTripleDubya]

About time they got the suspension right.

[@vtwindad1549]

Loved this video Danny, first video in ages I've watched of yours and just appreciated your opinions and how you put the video together. Also owning a custom Heritage softail like the one you rode in NZ .. the big frame softail touring line does well for a softail even when they are lowered still handles great and can carry some stuff on bigger trips when needed.

[@Fever_Rides]

Congratulations! I’m glad you found one. My local dealer had one that I really wanted, but I already have a Street Glide ST and a Street Bob, so I couldn’t really justify a third one. I love your channel 👍🏻

[@Ganjora]

congrats on the new bike Danny! not my sort of bike (KTM), but i love your adventures and have stopped cursing harleys as a result of your vlogs.

[@lingdinh4510]

Hey Col, the Golden Goose just layed another egg. Should be able to retire after this one!

[@bodog3209]

Nice devil bike Danny. You’re doing 120 mph. That’s not bad. My twin cam stock revs out at 115 mph. When you do your upgrade maybe do a Dynojet and raise your rev limit

Sweet!! Congratulations. I love my ST. I look forward to all your future videos.

Thanks for the review .. looking forward for more reviews about the bike. Love my ST.

[@repairmonkeyservicegroup8795]

Awesome as always Danny! I'm about the same size as you and havent had the experience of riding a Low Rider S yet and had to sell my 2015 Harley Road Glide Special, I went thru Pneumonia with Covid in September, 2021 and was put on ECMO October, 2021

[@hoss6048]

That Star 30/30 is gonna make that bike rip. A buddy just put one in his Road Glide and he says it is night and day from stock. On a bike over a 100 pounds lighter I could imagine how nice it will be.

[@chuckfowler8875]

Oh yea didn't mention it tomorrow I'm supposed to go look at an ST it has a little over 600 miles on it all ready has a cam new seat and levers also after market exhaust the guy wants 27k for it which seems to be a good deal so I'm glad I'm seeing your video.
