Joshua Tree on the Pan America 🏜 Adventure Motorcycle Touring

[@baggertrash1327]

I tell ya what, the more I see u guys on these bikes, makes me want one. Fully decked out with all the crash guards, lights, hard bags, these are sexy lookin bikes. Harley really knocked it out of the park with this bike!

Haha, Glad you can live vicariously through us CA folk. Thanks for watching man

[@ZildjianMan30]

I agree Greg. I try to make it work in the winter. I layer up using my Alaska knowledge from my time in the Army. For my outer pants layer, I use my Husqvarna chainsaw pants. They work very well with cold and wind. For gloves, I use small knit style glove liners, then big bulky Arctic style pullovers. I can work the switches just fine. This is all done on a bike with no fairing, no close-outs, no windshield, and no handguards. Ultimately though, layering up just sucks and I can't wait for Spring riding to begin!! I love these adventure-styled big production videos, Matt!

Ever since the Pan Am came out I wanted one, it looks unique and badass! My goal is to trade in my 2020 Street Bob and get a Road Glide and then eventually get a Pan America so I can get to those hard to get places I like to go once in awhile. But we’ll see what the future has in store, hopefully amazing things for me and for everyone else!

I met Jeff on the road. He was very eccentric on his thoughts and review plan with this bike. He bought me a bag of lays Potatoe chips and a soft drink and explained that he really likes this bike even know it is rough around the edges as he said. He then explained how functionally this bike was. He said he loves the v-twin and tracks with a real purpose. he liked using the massive Lucious horsepower and justified the speeding tickets he obtained from this review. He was thinking of ditching the cops but decided it may not be the best idea. This bike has the best of the best tolls for safety and reliability. I can keep going if you would like. The pan America is an eager bike that likes to hang out on fire roads and such. It also is very confident and can brake on a dime. It works beautifully and stable. Have a nice day. Thanks jeff.Oh jeff had to hang his legs in a safe place as he explains in the video

Another great video! Good advice too about not having the PA (or any large adventure bike) as your first bike off-road. I have lots of road and street experience but none off-road. I'm looking at a Honda CB500X for my first off-road adventure bike and then giving it to my wife after a year (she doesn't ride but wants to learn how) and then purchasing a PA.

[@roadglide]

What I’m talking about. With more roads across this great country under construction and at any given moment you might need to “detour”, might be out of traffic down some area off the highway onto a frontage or side road, wherever. These bikes are built to handle. Durable to navigate rough terrain while being super smooth on the super slab. All while looking cool. Adventure bikes have long been the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles just getting more attention these days for their inherent versatility. Great job crew. Matt put some hair somewhere on that face. Corporate does allow it. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.

Up near Gorman along I-5 is the Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Area. Huge... lots of trails, campgrounds and day-use areas.

[@keithroy7884]

I was going to suggest Anza Borrego, but with the difficulties of the heavy bikes in sand, I think it would not be so good. Instead, if you want overnighters, to camp out, I suggest the Mohave Preserve, North of I-40. Paved roads like Kelbaker Rd lead to easy side roads, and any level of riding you want to do, and many great campsites can be found near the top of mountains, etc.

You can ride all day up there. There's also a road that will take you from Apple Valley up-and-over to Big Bear which is about a 23 mile treck also an excellent ride. If you're short on time you can always do Lytle Creek up-and-over or up and then back down. You'll want to take Sheep Canyon road. Ride on !

Very entertaining video, great scenery, great story. I really praise Harley Davidson for putting a bike in the market that competes with or even exceeds the competitions bike. In looks, performance and specifications. My choice for such trips though would not be a much too heavy 1000cc plus adventure bike of any brand. I'd like a much lighter more off road capable 1 or 2 cylinder 4 stroke bike. No panniers everything carried in an assistance vehicle. At the end of the day I would be tired from riding difficult but entertaining terrain, not from handling a heavy bike. The joy should not be from the excitement you managed to get there, but how you get there. Back in the day I road a new Yamaha XT600 Ténéré, 1 cylinder 600cc with a large fuel tank. Put on motocross tires. And rode it off road and street. The future of adventure riding should be a 1000-1200cc 1 or 2 cylinder very off road capable bike. 150bhp/150Nm, 200kg ready to go. All the camping gear carried by a drone that is linked to your bike. Today I am riding a 2019 Fat Boy (strictly on road).

[@serhiy1237]

By Indian standarts (I mean "in India" 🇮🇳) that "off-road" is closer to a highway. I think those guys would smash y'all on 300cc Bajaj's And R.Enfields wearing slip-ons. That being said I really love your travel series of videos and genuinely think that you're amazing CEO.
