I’d love to see you, Doodle, Her Two Wheels, Shade Tree and Stevy Faux put in a 3-4 day event. I think a lot of your fans would come.

So glad to see HD supporting content creators that ride, Harley is finally supporting the folks that ride these bikes and getting amazing content. Harley is going to do just fine the next few years its a brand that is really becoming more popular every day because of what there doing. Even when its too cold and icy to ride in my area I will be content to see that beautiful new RK sitting in my garage, thing of beauty. Have great trip and HD thanks for supporting these road tips.

My husband and I are heading to Florida and the keys in April. Have a great time Doodle and ride safe . Cant’t wait to see your video of your trip.

[@GARamblinMan]

The Road King is a great bike and I almost bought it last year, but settled on the Heritage Classic. It’s a good touring bike too just not quite as heavy. Much easier to move around my garage. The only downside is that the saddle bags are a bit smaller than the Road King or Street Glide. I’ve enjoyed your road trip videos. Very impressed with such a petite girl riding these big bikes and even in the rain. Hope you have nothing but sunny skies and warm temperatures for your Florida trip. It’s going to be in the 60’s here in North GA today so I’m going riding myself! Ride safe.

[@johncourt9580]

Hi Doodle, I've never had the pleasure of riding a Harley, and I well remember when you weren't a fan, but now they've grown on you for their comfort on road trips, and their carrying capacity, and their undeniable beauty! It's freezing here in the UK, so I'm especially going to enjoy this trip into the sunshine. A 4k drone would be a huge asset to have! Ride safe!

I am loving the hard cases, it looks so spacious! And I also envy you going on a 2000 mile road trip! way to go!

This is no surprise lol. I knew the road bug would get ya. And yes, Harley is hard to beat when it comes to having bikes available for riders. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip. Will be looking forward for your videos.

[@ilovesk810]

I love that you get the bug for a trip, and then make it happen! Speaking of bugs, take a pic of your wind screen when you get there. Please be careful, sudden rain storms, followed by blinding Florida sun is like driving on a wet mirror. Watch for Armadillos, alligators & other assorted critters. Don't try to jump across the missing span on the abandoned railroad Bridge! LOL. Lots of natural beauty down there, can't wait to see an update ! Take care.

[@pmdinaz]

I think the more bikes I ride, the more I find my preferred type of bike changes. I 'get' the big cruisers, but I prefer my Bonneville and Tiger1200. Used to only ride sport bikes. Then I kept my Speed Triple for 11 years! Keep on Doodle!!

[@2woofs784]

Hey Doodle, I've been riding street bikes for over 35 years and have never owned a Harley but one thing I do like about them is they have dealerships and mechanics allover the place and that makes for easy access to parts and service when you're on a road trip. Prayers Flying for safe travels!

[@dsiz9421]

That’s because your going to need it lol

[@seaninness334]

Nice. I sometimes wonder if I would be a convert to a big Harley. Forward controls, floor boards, etc? Maybe if I win the big raffle at Forgotten Angels, we'll test that out. Well, travel safe. Have a great time. We'll be here for the videos when you can get them edited. I had some naming ideas but deleted them. Good luck with that too.

I’ve had 3 Harleys and numerous Japanese bikes.I love them all. The bias some people have against brands is kinda crazy, just be open to adventure and fun and let go of the nonsense and ride them all. You want to rack up great experiences with all the brands. Have fun with this new ride! I think I might try a Triumph bobber this spring and see where that adventure takes me.

I also love traveling solo everywhere. You inspire the younger generation to get out there and enjoy life. I'm 65 and don't plan to stop anytime soon.

When I went to the USA 30 years ago, I went to Atlanta and I did bike (bicycle) racing. We would go up to the North Georgia mountains every Wednesday to Dahlonega and do a 56-mile circuit through the mountains. Beautiful countryside. Had a lady at a KFC drive-through shout "Y'all come back now, ya hear!" Made my day. Now, I live in Thailand and ride a Harley (Dyna Streetbob), I'm new to your channel and really enjoy your content. Have you ever heard of 'Million Dollar Bogan"? He's Australian and travels around the world now riding Harley's, right now he's in the U.K. and will be going to Ireland (my home) next. Take care

Drove to the Keys in 2021 in a 60s vintage van. It will be a fun trip but watch out for the deer on the green islands. They are known to dart out as the habitats are small and have a highway running through them. In Key West: - Croissants de France Bakery & Restaurant for breakfast - Butterfly Conservatory and say hi to the flamingos - Just putter by the Southern Most Point with a camera ready vs waiting in line On the Way Down - Coco Plum Place (coffee Key Largo) - Turtle Hospital (call for scheduled tour as it is the only option) - Sol by the Sea (upscale ocean front Ley Largo)

I live in the UK, the weather right now isn't good for long trips. Most of my bikes have been big sports tourers that I love for their comfort on long journeys thru the Continent. Never been a Harley fan. Think it's an American thing,.. the image it creates, although there are lots over here now. Guess it's good to try other makes, like you have, to determine which is best for each trip you do. Just found your site, watched you training on a GS1200 BMW. So much admiration for your courage handling that awesome bike. That got me hooked !!

[@TheMNB]

One of my bikes is an '07 Road King. All the touring bikes (Street Glide, Road Glide, Electra Glide, Road King and their variants) are based on the same frame. I'm surprised the guy said the RK sits a little taller than another model because the only difference there would be the seat. The key factor in the touring models is the rubber motor mounts that help smooth out the ride. Some people diss Harleys, but they sell more bikes than any other brand. They don't have the most power, but I love my Road King. I also love my Ducati. If it's got two wheels, you can have fun on it! :) I like having side bags even for daily riders. I can go to the grocery store and stuff. Also, all my bikes have at least a mid height windscreen. Once you ride a bike at 70 with a wind screen and without, you never want to go without. I don't do Instagram, I can't stand it's interface and how it works. Bleh. So I'll have to wait to hear about your ride. I hope you have a nice trip. May you have many smiles for all the miles!

[@rogerburns8478]

The road king sits 1 inch higher in the rear than the street gide or road glide. They both have 1 inch chopped out of the rear suspension for the slammed look. Road king has the comfort suspension from the limited models. 3 inches o travel vs 2 inches.

[@TheMNB]

@@rogerburns8478 hmm, it didn’t used to be that way AFAIK. My RK is a 2007. I ‘08 they went fly by wire throttle. Sometime after ‘07 the wheel size was bumped to 17” fron 16” and the wheelbase was lengthened. Those two changes made it less maneuverable, but 17s were probably a good move. Much has changed in 15 years in a company know for often just changing the colors in a new model year. 😂 IMO, Harley really needs to step it up with their suspension. 2” is a joke. 4” should be the minimum for a street bike. Front AND back. And reasonable quality components, too, please!
