If you did not find a loose battery connection,, then possibly your coil is dyng. Sometimes they will work cool, but once egine heat builds they will loose fire.

[@nevis_moto]

Be sure to check your ground post. Down behind the rear jug by the starter. I had that same problem on my dyna and turns out that it was just loose. Tightened it up and haven't had a problem since.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check that later today! Once it stop raining

[@jayjackson1280]

Water in the GAS

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Really? I don’t think this is it. Since I fueled up a few times at different places. Seems electrical

[@crash121973]

I really love seeing the imagination of people come shining threw with the bike builds. Really amazing.😊

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Glad you enjoy it! I LOVE seeing all the wild builds.

[@brianheffernan5434]

Those were some cool bikes, Triple B. I love the garage builds much more than the high-end customs.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Right on

[@ddraiss]

I wish I would have known you were in town! I was literally 10 minutes away at a poker run. Next year it would be awesome if you come up and join us for at least the parade ride to the first stop. We have had as many as 400 bikes at the poker Run, and every year the start is police escorted, and intersections blocked for us to do a continuous parade from the start to the first stop. Next year the first stop should be the Ohio veterans memorial Park in Clinton Ohio, it is a place worth checking out regardless of a poker run or not

[@Doce1989]

Im in love with the yellow and black chopper

[@davidwhite5529]

Sounds like maybe it's your fuel filter

[@jameshill8498]

On the "it could be worse" side, I was in Cleveland that weekend but spent it in the ICU instead of seeing the show. I was heading to Amanda's Rocky Mountain Roll on my Sporty when a sudden tire blowout sent me skidding sideways down I-90 at 70mph. I got to enjoy 5+ broken ribs, a punctured lung and a slight interior rip in my aorta. On the bright side my Sporty survived with minimal damage. I just need to swap out the handlebars and a couple cables to be back on the road. The old girl still runs fine. You just can't beat a Sportster.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

OMG. I am so glad you’re okay, honestly!! The sportster can be rebuilt. You on the other hand take more time. Here’s to a speedy and healthy recover friend. So sorry to hear about that. So scary!!

[@keithhuntsman9455]

Thanks for sharing hope you get it sorted out and repaired soon. Unfortunately I've had to pass the last two events because my car is just not reliable enough for any trip.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Sorry to hear that

[@walterfechter8080]

I haven't been to Hale Farm since 1987. It's a great ride and a great place to visit. Hopefully, your Sportster won't give you any serious problems in the future. Weems built an amazing Ironhead Sportster! That Honda Shadow 600 was done right for a smaller displacement metric bike. My fave is the tough guy Shovelhead at 17:08. I like choppers built around drop seat swingarm frames. I liked the fact that bike's frame wasn't raked (just stretched in the down tubes). That EVO chopper at 18:27 is choice. I like the Soutwest vibe of the bike. Ride safe.

[@flashgordon2816]

Somewhat rare K- model at 20:44 on vid timer...Didn't see many of those out on the road decades ago.... Appears to be a lot Panheads...One of my favorite Harley engines.... Very nice custom builds at this event. ... Thanks for bringing us along...> You figure out the issue with your Sportster? Hopefully before your ride back...

[@timschouten4671]

Hello Beth, check the fuelinjection, in other words have a good look at one of the vlog of Doc Harley. In one of his tech tips vlogs he announced such a problem with the fuel injection. Thanks for showing your day out at the bike event. Cheers.

[@imstressed8388]

Show keeps getting better every year and we're 2 weeks out from the next one. So lucky to have fuel in the area

[@BikerBabeBeth]

We really are! Can’t wait to check out this years bikes

Sick video Beth!! Hope you made it home ok. Great coverage on this show, soooo many killer bikes. The green van slammed in the weeds with the lace panel roof was wicked!! Awesome job, ride safe!!🤘

Hello, a combination lawn mower and motorcycle. I never knew that I needed one.

Beth we love you. You can’t die drive safe love your content and P.S your part of the shade tree army.

Awesome video Beth and big thanks for taking the time to show us so many beautiful bikes, very inspiring. Big thanks!!!

[@steveboykia4746]

Awesome video Beth, great content! well done for getting there on a sketchy Sportster 🤔hope you get it sorted out, well done once again 👏

[@maybenot7202]

Thanks, love the bikes. Lots of old school stuff. Love it. ❤

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Glad you like them!

[@DebtheReb1369]

Loved all of these homemade bikes, except the bagger with too many lights. Talk about a battery that's gonna die. Hopefully you made it home without being stranded on the side of the road.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

He joked he almost didn’t make it cause the damn thing caught fire 😳

[@MyDunnLife]

The speedo freaking out sounds electrical. Might have a short or wire break that is randomly occurring.

[@chrismacmahan8159]

Great video! It was nice talking with you at the show!

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Thanks Chris! It was great chatting with you as well! I am excited to reach out with some ideas for a winter paint project on the sportster!

[@chrismacmahan8159]

[@tonyjones5062]

Lol should've took the goldwing lol have a wonderful weekend hon love you so much 💞💕💕

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Next time!

[@vector6977]

its the ignition pickup and/ or the coil.

[@motorhead1884]

Gotta be something simple little dirt in your carb fuel filter plugs wires. Maybe coil. Idk start cheap parts first lol carb clean is free if ya do it yourself. 🤷

[@mvol5973]

You need a new ignition coil. I'd go ahead and replace the plugs and wires while at it

[@JohnnyXoz]

Beth complains the whole way the her bikes about to break down, then gets to the event and completely forgets about it....🤣

[@BikerBabeBeth]

EXACTLY! Hahahah 🤣

[@josephdavis1797]

Wow!! Maybe was a lil water in fuel. Like the other guy said

[@360chris88]

Thanks for the video beth

[@BikerBabeBeth]

You are so welcome

[@girthquake9655]

You must have went on Sunday. Saturday was a muddy mess!

[@BikerBabeBeth]

I did go on Sunday! Less rain forecasted but still got poured on coming home.

[@MyDunnLife]

We drove up on Saturday wife back wasn’t feeling to ride.

[@nancyweems5270]

Thank you, your the best ❤

Great video, hope you made it home ok😊😅

[@BikerBabeBeth]

I did! But got rained on pretty badly 😭

[@seH2i]

You should have at least 1 million views with that video title 😮

[@BikerBabeBeth]

If only!

[@hawgrider2003]

Can’t believe you left home with a known problem.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Oh wow, I rode a Harley with a mechanical problem……NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE DOING THAT. That’s why I brought tools….. Never be afraid of an ADVENTURE!! 🤣😅

[@JP-yc1wp]

Injectors need cleaning or maybe fuel pump?

[@GeemailMailboxx]

Sounds like your voltage regulator is trying to go out or it's connection/pigtail is coming loose. It's that little black box hanging off the front lower part of the frame behind the forks. Only has two bolts that hold it on. Get a Lectron brand if you replace it, not that Amazon Chinese crap. 😉

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Oh LAWD.

[@noelpotter1413]

Fuel filter maybe?

[@leeredpath8332]

thanx bb

[@BikerBabeBeth]

No problem

[@nancyweems5270]

Chicken Rick bike 👍

[@davidwhite5529]

I worry a lot about fuel stops on my 2020 sportster on long rides. Do you ever get concerned about that on your sportster?

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Nah. I always try to plan stops if I know I’m going really far. Otherwise. I’m starting to find a gas stop once I get to like 80 miles in.

[@ZoahPorre]

Bike at 9:04 makes me want some salt water taffy, really badly lol.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

🤣

[@WildRider]

Well you survived it at least.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

That’s what matters Bahaha 🤣

[@sway0221]

Fuel pump maybe?

[@motorhead1884]

Maybe plugs.

[@user-om7th9ll3i]

O2 sensors

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Thank you! Will do!

[@nbowling10trio]

Maintenance is key

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Ironically, I just cleaned and replaced the fuses. I do regularly Maintance on my bike, problems still can happen!

[@H20-town610]

Still waiting on the end report on your problemed sportster. The sputter at highway speed.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Loose battery terminals

[@almikelipscomb]

It could be battery. How old is it. I always carry a device that measures voltage as I'm riding. It measures voltage before starting bike, lets me know how voltage is during the ride and amps.

[@rufusblair7623]

Fuel filter

[@jdreyno1958]

The problem is written on the side of the gas tank.

[@BikerBabeBeth]

HURLEY DERVIDSON.

[@joemorris2886]

What's with the earlobes?

[@BikerBabeBeth]

DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW? DO THEY WOBBLE TO AND FRO? CAN YOU TIE EM IN A KNOT CAN TIE EM IN A BOW? Can you throw them over shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low?

[@MrPAULONEAL]

How long has the gas in your tank been in your tank?

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Uh, not long at all. I rode 100 miles the day before and rode to almost empty then filled up before this trip to Cleveland which was a bit over 200 miles total that day.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

@@BikerBabeBeth I know that ethanol gas has a short shelf life.

[@vernegibb621]

Motorcycles need maintenance by people who know what they are doing 😂

Then I guess I should not ever attempt learn? Not only do I NEVER know what I am doing. But I look good doing it…..

Loose battery cable

[@holisecleveland2859]

The guy that had his bike set up for a skinny girlfriend was dating the skinny sister of Olive Oil.
