[@glennstatham960]

Bikes and periods?

[@dougstacks]

I ended up buying the Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer as my ADV bike. Still love my 14 Breakout but the Tiger is packed with tech and similar spec as the Pan Am.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh hell yeah mate. The triumph tigers are awesome ! Know a few people who absolutely bloody love them. Been doing ADV stuff longer too ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Jaysonic3423]

FRIDAY (in the States, so, it must be GNARLY HARLEY day!! My friend, who's only ever road Harley/cruisers recently bought a new PanAm, and he absolutely loves it! Last few times I've seen him on the road, he's been riding it. He took a chance, for something different and experiences and hasn't regretted it. Great video, good to see ya! Stay safe!!!!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeeeew !!! Cheers for remembering mate. Oh wow that's bloody awesome, testament to what they have done here. Good on him man, be awesome to have both I think it would be a great combo and second bike for me !!! I want to test it offroad !!!!! You too mate, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Mickyboyx]

Been wanting a good honest review of the PanAmerica that wasn’t from a dealer or paid Harley vlogger having an adventure bike background super handy too Matty 🤙😎

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hope I did okay, I'm sure I missed things I always forget to day things 😅 oh well. Glad you enjoyed the vlog always going to keep it honest mate. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Thanks mate !!! Absolute weapon That's That's sure. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@craighumble777]

Suprised by the power to weight of the Pan, very quick and seems like it would make the perfect tourer/ dirt tourer for the harley lover. The lowering for short peeps is different, wouldn't want it to lower itself in the bush but 😂 another great review mate.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah same ! Thing bloody rips man haha as you seen 😅 Would bloody love to get a hold of one I can take offroad on a big trip. Yeah bloody different feature hey... I definitely don't need it lol ! Thanks big dog, appreciate it 🧡🖤🤙

[@kelvindavis7060]

Great idea from right to drive ,do they have tri glide trikes lol

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah bloody awesome idea. Especially for motorcycle enthusiasts! Awesome that we can stay on the road. Haha I'll ask them !

[@redrider0151]

You need to take a rip on Dads KTM and show us that now... 😛

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Haha yeah for sure ! That thing us an animal lol. Scary fast. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@aaronkeller488]

That's great by right2drive to lend you the bike. I see they are in NZ as well which is good to know. Always wanted to know what the Pan America is like, wish you could have taken it off road though, just to test the suspension & comfort. Looks a lot of fun. Hopefully get some good weather to go camping. Enjoy & cheers for a great review!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hey Aaron, yeah bloody awesome ! Gets there name out there abit. I think it's cool what they are doing for sure. I know.... I'm bloody spewing I can't go offroad mate. Hopefully in the future I can some how sort that out. Fingers crossed the weather stays good !!! Hope you're having good weather down there too mate, ride safe and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@aaronkeller488]

@@Gnarly_Harley Yes I hope the weather does stay better for you. Been chatting to Mal & it's like the weather we had last yr. Just you guys have it now. I had never seen anything like it before. This year the weather has been back to normal & pretty good. Today was on & off, however got a 300 km day ride in, was a great day 🙂

[@DirtyOldJimi]

I was at the dealershit picking up my new FXLRST and I sat on the Pan Am to confirm if maybe i was taking home the wrong bike that day. I'm 5ft9 and I was struggling to touch the ground even with the suspension in the lowered position, I didn't take it for a ride, and I'm sure I would've loved it, but I'm stoked with my ST and I don't really get enough time to get off road often so I did indeed bring home the best bike for me, at least for now. I've watched plenty of reviews of these PanAms over the last couple years, but not really any by Australians on QLD roads. Good review man, thanks

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hey Jimi, congrats on the ST mate how awesome is that, the ST definitely has the cool factory and more character but holy demon the pan am some alot of fun wow. Be a bloody sick second or 3rd bike if you have the funds. Think you made the right decision mate if you don't have heaps of time on ya hands. Appreciate it, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@DM-ve8vb]

[@HDBreakout46]

Hello Matt!!! Wow... a new Pan America! Nice review of this motorbike! I believe that Harley Davidson will be forced into making all their motorbikes water cooled in the future. That is going to be the only way they will be able to match the pollution standards that are heading our way. 150 horsepower? Now that is very impressive! I like that power and the lowering of the bike at stop is really nice for us shorter riders! Overall... this looks like a very well designed motorbike! It has so many awesome features that are not only cool, but very practical too! I think this Right 2 Drive company is pretty damn awesome too! I don't think we have anything like this in the states. You are making such wonderful videos and people are recognizing that too! When company's are contacting you to review their products... that is impressive Matt!!! You're almost at 200K for subscribers too!!! You the man!!! John...

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hey John, cheers mate, yeah I definitely agree with you there unfortunately harley have to keep up with the times and the tech. If you live in the past that's where you stay and get left behind. Love what they are doing to get into new markets. I'd bloody love this pan am for a second bike, would be alot of fun. Right2drive are doing something cool that's for sure, I think they have the right idea. Especially since alot of us need to ride to stay sane. Thanks mate !!!! Just hit 2k then big milestone, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@BigBert]

Nice I’m a big fan of the Pan America, not sure about the yellow though 😎✌🏻

[@Wartai]

That road you were on when you did the wheelies with that other dude .. I was on that road today, bedding in my new brake pads I put on yesterday .. I live in the area before you got on the long road .. I been looking at them, not sure If I fit on them as I am very tall LOL I read somewhere, when you load the bike with gear and passenger, you all load up first before you start it so it learns the weight etc.. Should pop around and sit on it and see how it fits me long legs. Also, Grats on the 2K subscribers mate ...

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh true !!! Hahaha bloody stalking me mate 😉🤣 seem to be everywhere I am lately... (even my house) 🤣 Well if the rolling shot gives you an idea, I'm 6"3 and I fit comfortably but if you're taller than that it may start to cramp up a little ? Worth going for a test ride anyway man. Yeah it has that adaptive suspension, absolutely crazy haha. Very cool technology ! Cheers man, thanks for watching as always 🧡 🖤 🤙

Dude! Isn't the thumbnail a spoiler? That system is great. I want more information on that. As that is similar to what I was thinking of to have a bike loading system Price is on par? I didn't expect that. I was thinking of getting a 1970s Triumph & making a scrambler out of it. I am I.pressed with Brembo brakes Oh dear. It's a bloody computer on wheels. So when the electronics fail, you are stuck Harvey Danielson? Or Singer? 13:20 smartest idea. Follow the ambulance. Giggles Bob's my aunty. It's a bloody long story, Cowpoke Happy trails, Cowpoke PS Blur out the speedo more consistently

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah it is abit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll try and do a vid with abit more info about the bike. Yeah mate that's the only thing I don't like either all so much tech in these new adventure bikes if anything fails you're screwed !!! All brands not just harley.

Hi Matt, Great vlog mate is it in your wheelhouse to considor the fallen angels concept. supporting men who have recently left the care of foster care and have no job no skills no money and almost deffinatly homeless tell me your thoughts is this something you would like to get behind and let bad people do good things here in Australia... If this intrests you see Shadytree on his take on it. I know we cant help everybody but neither has the welfare system for these young people I hope you do and hope from today your life changes. Just bad people doing good or you can tell go jump in the lake I reckon your the man for this and you will have the support to change young mens lives for the better teaching them life skills and motorcycle lifestyle. Thanks for your time to read my comment

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Unfortunately, far too little torque below 4000 RPM

[@Gnarly_Harley]

I did notice that but I'm honestly glad there isn't haha. The front wheel was coming up alot as it is, especially with the mrs on the back 🤣 It is also a high revving bike so most of the time I stayed in a lower gear and it was an animal. But I do see where you're coming from for sure. Not like my harley torque I wheel spin if I take off hard enough 🤣🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@chrissysaunders8053]

Sorry outlawman but that bike is not what harleys are about I think they are loosing there way, I see shit and I have to react, get yourself on a pre evo, now that's harley at its best, old school is cool school. Like the days of Steve mcqueen😎😉👌🇬🇧

[@Gnarly_Harley]

I think they are just trying to dive into another market, I think it's a cool idea. I guess things can't stay the same forever right ? Either way they did a great job whatever the bike may be (not a really harley) it's an awesome bike. But I do see where you are coming from. Alot of people have said the same thing. I'd love to review something pre evo ! Maybe one day haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Stoners_org-l1z]

I want this bike and it has nothing to do with the brand name. So....why shouldn't they try to fix their sales losses by brining in something new? Just my opinion

[@davebrian4147]

These bikes are awesome Harley can't stick old school forever they will be left behind these bikes are the future of Harley

Mate, here's a tip; STOP filming your own face! Put the camera on the bikes, we DO NOT want a video where half of it is you pointing the camera at yourself!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Anyone can grab a go pro and point the thing at a motorcycle. What makes a channel different from another if we all do the same thing... Anyway im not for everyone. Plenty of other channels for you to watch that do that type of filming. Cheers

The channels growing and he’s putting out good watchable vids.. Don’t nit pick the guy and refer to yourself as the majority in an attempt to gain relevance. If you don’t like his style.
