My Harley Davidson let me down | 1986 FXR

[@Bikerdad_85]

Great video man. I wrote in your comment section last week, I'm the guy that's getting back into riding, I told you I rode old Soviet bikes. I wanted to share with you guys something. My family moved to a new area and I don't know all of my neighbors but, I was mowing my yard when one of my neighbors that I haven't met tell now was walking his dog with his wife. He stopped and welcome me to the neighborhood and we ended up somehow talking motorcycles. I told him my story and he invited me over for a beer the next day. Well he has two bikes. I think one was an Electra glide and the one I really like was a fat boy. I was drooling over the Harley's when he said would you like to go for a ride. I said He'll yea. We ended up riding for a few hours . I rode the fat boy and I was in heaven. As an immigrant I want to say, that Americans are just great ppl. I was so shocked that someone that barely knows me just let me ride there motorcycle. Anyway sorry for the long post, thanks for awesome content. Be safe.

Dude what an awesome story!!! I’m pinning this comment, it made my day.

[@Bikerdad_85]

Thanks man, it made my day, and I just wanted to share it with everyone. I don't know what pinning it means but go ahead lol.

[@rev.scruffy2249]

They should never have taken kick starters off bikes, they saved me more times than I remember. Thanks for sharing

[@metalheadforlife9293]

Isn’t it where your kicker will just avoid the fire produced by the starter and just get the engine running?

[@yogidoe2390]

Metalhead For life it’s just turning the engine over manually instead of having the starter crank it for you

[@94concours]

Not sure if I could start my 2300cc with a kick starter!

I used to have an 81 shovel head FLH and it had electric , it worked fine but I put a kicker on it for back up, and for looks ...I ended up using the kicker a lot though, more fun

I was browsing some threads on ADVrider.com. A guy was talking about being hassled by Johnny Lawdog for being out on a motorcycle. Granted he was joyriding at the time if I recall but he WAS in the vicinity of the place he works at, a place that is functioning and deemed "essential". He said Lawdoggy gave him crap for being on a rocket bike. LMAO! It was a Honda NC700X, not a rocket bike by ANY stretch of the imagination. Just gotta LOATHE the LEOs at a time like that. Welcome to 1984...

Damn bro, your fxr reminds me of my old fiance, looks good when you're riding but let's you down when you need it the most hahah

Great video, Josh. Almost got my bike, 95 Yamaha Virago 750. Thank you so much for helping me on this quest. 51 years old, weirdos!

[@kevinwilson8039]

Josh, I subscribe to a lot of folks on KZbin...I can honestly say, your the only one that’s out there still kicking it and making quality content, everyone else is sitting at home talking whatever shit just to get 5 mins of camera time. Your still kicking it and hitting it Thanks Bro, your helping keeping me sane!

[@xlr8r5691]

I thought gettin' lost on backroads was the whole point. Thanks for the vicarious fun, Josh!

[@RidingintheOzarks]

I did same kind of thing with my girlfriend in a video a few weeks ago, she has been riding a few years so it was about her building confidence, she can take the turns but she has only had to push hard thru curves once really, it was on group ride and she was nervous and stressed afterwards. So she asked me to push the turns a little more when we ride together so she can be a little more aggressive and build her confidence that she can handle them at faster speeds that we might normally run when it is just us. Keep doing you and Keep on Riding!

[@terahz1]

My old FXR had issues starting several months ago. The original starter relay from 1982 was finally giving up the ghost. Cheap easy replacement at least. Worth checking yours out

[@someone9906]

That Magna brings back a ton of memories, my first bike was an 86 magna vf700 that I got for $500 and a road trip to the middle of nowhere. It came with a flat drag bar (awesome) and a car tire on the rear (not so awesome). I spent about a year riding, wrenching and repeat until I got a cracked crank case that upon further inspection had already been sealed with jb weld by the previous owner. I ended up selling the bike in full running order after I re-jbwelded it. It was a ticking time bomb but for $800 and a strong warning I hope the next guy enjoyed it. I wish I never sold it tho. At the time there were probably 20 first gen Magnas for sale on Craigslist and now there's only one or two that come up every once in awhile. For anyone with a Magna or thinking about buying one beware of how hard it is to get the carbs out of that valley and how easy it is to break the linkage that syncs all 4 carbs. Also, I had a turtle as a kid and I'm 99% sure that turtle was pissing on you, they do that when they're scared. I think you guy should come do some riding in NorCal, I know motorcycling is awesome everywhere but I've always felt extremely blessed with the roads we have to ride. Pretty much everywhere outside of the cities is either a tight mountain road with amazing views or a quiet empty highway. I hate living here for other reasons but the riding is amazing. I know you did a trip to LA but it's definitely a different vibe.

[@rc3140]

You’re a bright light in a whole bunch of darkness ! Thanks and appreciation for what you do for all of us ✌🏼brother.

[@luish8056]

When that Final Fantasy 7 victory sound when the bike started was epic.

[@brycebuildsit]

I started carrying a back pack with me or in the saddle bags, 2 bottles of water 2 protein bars, small jumper cables, and a small tool kit. Every single time i left it at home my bike had me Walking... Thanks Murfey

[@jimbartosevich498]

Your "Twisties" video was actually very educational for me. In PA, we do a lot of complaining about the shortness of our riding season (Bikes are usually in storage January to March). And about the quality of our asphalt (paved roads are rougher than the dirt road you took). But I wouldn't want to leave the mountains now. Flat lands just aren't for me. On the other hand, the quality of your roads means that you can do things to your motorcycles that we NEVER would up north. Hard tails up here simply do NOT get ridden. I would venture to guess that your average speed is higher than ours. So, no road shaming here. Those 80's Magnas are BEASTS! I have to disagree about the buckhorns though. My brother took those off his vf700 to get normal bars on, and it's a LOT more comfortable. They will never take riding away from us. Never. The moment they try, we will revolt!

[@rookrides1853]

[@pcontiman]

the 1st 4 minutes! right on. learning to ride confidently in sweepers, corners, excellent. as you know, counter steering and being aware of it is your good friend. also digging your eloquent version of "don't really care about your pissing contest of what is and what ain't a twistie...."

[@peteschram9524]

[@michaelbarnett8886]

Totally agree. Also remember if you're not in Florida skills degrade if your not using them. Start slow when you break that bike back out n get yourself back up to par

[@j.foster1560]

I had an 86 FXR, Harley made some significant changes to the bike in mid year of production. I swear my bike was on the assembly line when the changes were made because everytime i went to get parts or accessories for it i had to give them the VIN so they could give me the right part. And that was not always right. All that being said I loved that bike.

[@soeastbiker]

Kicked my 81 FXLR for 16 years in Florida, Georgia, Virginia and West Virginia where I lived in each state working shutdowns as a welder. Just before I unknowingly sold it after coming back home to FL, I actually replaced the starter and solenoid. I enjoyed the push button but reflexively turned the kicker pedal out at times.

[@dustinfisher9182]

My most exciting joy ride ended up down miles of gravel roads down a steep gravel hill that was washed out and had to cross a river on the harley! Very memorable

[@alissarobertson8840]

I lived in Florida 35 years my wife and I moved to southeast Alabama in 2019. Riding in Florida and dodging all the bad drivers is a bigger challenge than riding curves. I had four friends killed since 2001. Three of the four had a car turn left in front of them. I miss a lot of things in Florida but traffic isn't one of them.

[@vinnyc365]

Years ago (I was 20ish) I was talking to this Harley biker dude. He was the head of a club and was telling me about some of the amazing rides they went on. He asked me if I rode and I sheepishly said yes, knowing what the next question would be. He asked what I rode and I told him a Kawasaki Z1. To my surprise he said he liked that bike and said a couple of members of his club had metric bikes. I wound up going on a few rides with some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They didn't care what you rode, just that you rode and loved riding. Good times.

[@yamahajoe1206]

This is awesome for flip. Over the weekend went through a place I flipped over my bars a couple years ago. Definitely needed that to know I could get through it again. Hadn't been back there since a few weeks after I crashed (ran the same road just to shake the bullshit out my head). I related to flip cuz after that accident I have been trying to get the confidence to go into left turns back

Hey Shadetree, love to see you and the crew riding to pass time and have a blast. I live in Lansing, MI; I’m still riding and I hear and see tons of bikes out and haven’t heard of or seen any two-wheel enthusiast being told to go home and park it. So there’s a shred of anecdotal evidence, but I’m knocking on wood.

[@jmcelroy4872]

Went for a ride with friends 2 days ago! Nice country ride and i stopped to rescue a snapper off the road! We stopped traffic and got him off the lane....funny part was when girls in a stopped car said that she didnt know bikers were so kind!

Another great vlog. Glad it worked out with the FxR. Always makes for a fun adventure when something goes wrong. Took some bikes off roading when we shouldn't of last weekend up in the Los Angeles mountains. Had 4 dudes lifting a Dyna out of a dirt ditch lol. Everything was fine after that and we made it home. I really appreciate these vlogs.

Once of the very FEW things I actually miss about living in California, man... Those mountain roads on my bike! And I'm totally with you on that "for the ride, not for the speed" mentality. IDC if you take a curve at 50 while I'm taking it at 25, I'm gonna ride what I'm comfortable with and enjoy myself instead of stressing on trying to keep up and ruin the enjoyment of MY ride. Got some nice curvey roads down near my buddies place, Lake of the Ozarks, but nothing like NorCal mountains. I didn't see what the big deal was about that dirt road though, it looked like easy riding to me. That rain on the other hand, I'll take a major PASS on that shit.

I LOVE going on the gravel and dirt roads around here in Arizona on my motorcycle. Back home in southern Illinois we call it Cattle Cruising. And Mikes 80's Magna is gorgeous! Great bikes for sure. Reminds me a bit of my old 85 CX500.

[@davidsnow2420]

I've always believed that a motorcycle should have both electric start and a kickstarter. The weak link in bikes has always been battery/electrics. My daily ride is a 1982 FXB Sturgis. The starter relay went out this weekend during a 200 mile ride. The Sturgis is a one-kick hot/three-kick (two primes) cold bike, so the lack of a button didn't slow me or my buddies down. Replaced the relay yesterday, took five minutes and a $20 part. I'd rather kick a bike any day, than push it. Glad you had a friend with ya. Put a kicker on that thing.

[@maximilianrockefeller8854]

Just to let you know, HD is the one who originally developed the modern version of the V4. The Honda V4 is basically the same engine that HD created in the mid to late 1970's and couldn't sell to the HD Dealers; they said traditional HD Riders wouldn't buy it... So, they sold it to Honda. Check out Project Nova in 1976. HD had V4 and V6 engines that produced up to 135hp, back then... But, as with many of the HD innovations over HD's History, it was shelved, due to Dealers not thinking they would sell... It's good to see, in my opinion, HD being innovative again. Not many new HD People know, that when I was a Kid, HD made all sorts of Vehilces, not just Motorcycles... They made Scooters, Golf Carts, Trikes, Dirt Bikes, and more... That died out in the 1970's. Then, in the 1980's, they just made Sportsters, FXRs, Softails, and FLHs. Then, next came the Dyna's, in the 1990's. And, that has continued until recently. Peace, Stiletto :-)
