Motorcycle Philosopher: A morning with Scooter Tramp Scotty

[@mehogandhenry7132]

ordered a Purple Road King in 2000 [hundred dollars down which girlfriend paid] got it April 2002, $16,000. still riding 130,000 all original except for the tensioners, installed gear drive at 74,000. It's slow by everyone's standard but mine lol, it just runs so good. i do all maintenance except for internals, otherwise I wouldn't be able to own it. Not sure how long it will go I'm 66, hope the bike goes longer than me, cause I ain't done yet. owned a few bikes before the HD. Yamaha's,Triumph, I was riding a goldwing before the Harley, kinda miss the wing for the radio, no vibration, smooth as silk ride and the shaft drive. however that 22 year old bike and me have bonded i believe.

[@emeryhvac1023]

Living legend! Was great seeing him this year at Randy's

[@waggytail289]

Now that's a circle of gentlemen I'd like to be a part of for an hour or three!

[@pedallinraw]

i clubbed him with a wrench 🤣…..cheers for this i hope he gets back on or starts another channel 🤘🏻

[@MrDlsjoen]

The reason harley outsold the Japanese in the 80s was the motorcycle tariff that was implemented I believe due to harley. They were winning the large cc sales because there was a 45% tariff placed on any motorcycle larger than 700cc. Just a thought I wanted to add. Still love my harley. 😊

[@reddillybar]

Really enjoyed watching that, thanks for sharing it.

[@Luis-pz6ni]

I'm still riding my 2001 roadking classic for over 20 years

[@dannytattooflash]

[@Luis-pz6ni]

[@vincesimmons621]

Good luck Scotty.

[@benderbender1233]

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

[@ElectraWillem]

[@dylan-bw8dk]

Give Scotty his old channel back

[@Montana-Matt]

Morning coffee session

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Geardrive cam in twin cam with 6 speed is like yrs from evo. Way better power and dependable after these upgrades plus better riding bikes

[@ridervfr2798]

No insurance required in Florida on bikes.

[@outdoorswithbilljones]

I went to Odyssey to view your content. I can't get Video only audio. I'm to stupid to figure out what's wrong. What's wrong?

[@hauntedmoodylady]

There is actually another "short story

[@WindsongSoundBath]

So what type of bike do you recommend then, for longevity and easier maintenance?

[@cybersamster]

This sucks KZbin, bring Scotty back.

[@Partimepeasant]

The FatBoy was modeled off a Canadian biker build on EasyRider that showed how to make your Softail into a dropped bike. Mine is one that I converted, a 1985 Softail I bought on my re-enlistment bonus. Yes I still have it, 4 speed kicker chain drive.

[@Mpactpics]

Scotty it well be my honor to help you get your videos straightened out. I'm no guru, but i figure it out. It's part of what i do too. So it will help me by helping you. Just let me know what i can do. Thanks.

[@masterofnonetv8361]

Yup, harley had to do something to repair their reliability image and the evo was born!

[@mikerapp8163]

Thing is, the manufacturers of vehicles didn’t want to make them complicated. The environmentalists did. Emission control was beginning of the end for an ICE. It was all part of the plan to get to so called 0 emissions in the US and Europe. You can still get a simple vehicle in South America.

[@WindsongSoundBath]

I didn't know that. Good to hear. What are the good simple vehicles to look for in South America?

[@LeAnn610]

Be careful....KZbin will kick you out if you don’t side with them.

[@6fiddy309]

Terrible sound mister harley drifter... Glad to see the boys are doing okay...👍

[@harleydrifter]

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm new at this, recording with a phone and only have about 5 vids out, so I'm still learning and trying to iron out the kinks. Dirty Motorcycle Vagabond and Scotty gave me a lot of tips of the last few weeks, so hopefully I can get some content out people like and can hear.

[@ronaldpierce8325]

where's this camp site?

[@Artoflife-wn4rv]

THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT DELETED SCOTTY'S CHANNEL. I SAW THIS VIDEO WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AND RIGHT AFTER THIS VIDEO HE WAS CANCELLED

[@markeverson5849]

Scotty bumped into your channel tonight by chance Mark here down southern Missouri Ozarks USA I couldn't hear everything you were saying thinking about getting a Harley never had one before and I don't want to Rench on nothing if I don't have to so what evolution bike would you recommend for me what years would be the best old-school evil to get would you recommend I value your advice thanks is a lot of bikes for sale as you know money is tight for a lot of us when we get busted up and we get disabled and we get retired on small Social Security and when the house is getting ate by termites yeah I'm serious I value your opinion what do you think what would be the best bike for me

[@bbgdaddy5198]

Evo peters out.... hell bro, there's still shovel and pan head shit out there. Why in the H would you worry about the plentiful EVO stuff going away... it's not even in the antique category yet....

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Why did you tube take down his channel?. I seen the odysee channel already but whats up with you tube?

[@kingsrik]

KZbin kicked him off ... 😡

[@harleydrifter]

We're working on getting him back on.

[@mikerapp8163]

Scotty out-grew UTube. Better off on other platforms

[@russellscottiemoree8304]

why??? What happened?

[@Andy-wn8ik]

​@@harleydrifterHe is still on y tube, it's a channel that has his name with 61 subs.

[@cybersamster]

What can we due to help? @@harleydrifter

[@COFFEE-e3p]

GENTS I CAN JUST BARLY HEAR SCOTTY

[@DaroriDerEinzige]

I think its sometimes funny how US Americans stuble into "Socialism" without realizing it; what he said in regards "Why do you want more?" is basically the core concept of Socialism and highly Anti Capitalistic. Capitalism only works if you always want more, always want something new; because without that drive, you don't have "growth" in an economical sense.

[@docwy8763]

how long you been smoking a pipe

[@LonesomeNomad137]

Glad you’re back

[@corgis7083]

Can’t hear ,sound not recorded loud enough.

[@rickallen6378]

You certainly know the power of propaganda.
