She said “STOP” and you won’t believe why! | Motorcycle camping

After so many weeks Motorcycle camping on the road, it was time to get back to basecamp and take care of some housekeeping issues. Maybe we’re being too picky, but our tent choice still wasn’t up to snuff, Chris’ Sena 10C Pro had finally bitten the dust, a quick visit to the doctor was in order and much more.
Despite our numerous spills and falls, Chris has managed to break something. A quick visit to a doctor confirms the diagnosis, but even broken bones can’t keep us off the road for long.

I just got rid of my 2004 Electra Glide Ultra Classic with 122,000 miles on it. Really enjoyed it on long trips. Still have my 2001 Softail FXST with 118,000 miles. A lot of fun to ride.

Low air pressure I think causes the flat spots. 🤔

[@NWF_Rider]

As a young-un I worked for a couple of years at a dairy. They ran two shifts 365 days a year. Milking stalls held 8 cows and we milked over 100 cows each shift. I really liked that job. (Barefoot and working outdoors). The fresh milk was an amazing perk and store bought pasteurized milk doesn't even hold a candle to it. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it.

[@davidbreen4353]

John, i would say a lot of folks don't know how good REAL whole milk tastes. sometimes farmers won't sell it to people. i think there might be a law against it. but i can say it really is good tasting stuff!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome. Thanks again Gordon so far they are working great.

[@MrBeracah]

Hi Richard don’t mean to teach you how to suck eggs but I always tension the chain with the weight on the back wheel ie side stand as the suspension does sag and then you get the correct tension. Doing it on the centre stand almost always results in to9 tight a chain which is hard on the wheel bearings and gearbox bearing, especially as both your bikes are always fairly laden when on the road. Thks for all your trips, keep it up.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes I agreed, but I measured and added stead with the tension on the wheel and measured the distance with it on the stand and and always adjust to that number.

[@HarleysDinersRides]

Speedy recovery Chris, I have broken three toes from kicking a rock to stubbing on a step and finally getting into a boat. Know the feeling. cheers and relax. Dave and Lorilei

[@davidbreen4353]

wow! pretty neat. i really am glad your toe is better. that has been a problem for quite a while. my uncle owned a dairy farm when i was a kid. did you have a drink of cold milk without the cream being separated first? some of the best tasting stuff, compared to what you buy in the store. and then make butter from cream. my uncle also made maple syrup in the winter. home made syrup and maple butter, candy, just the best. glad y'all back on the road. 100K on your bike, WOW! holy mackrel. and still running good. (of course i remember the maintenance) but still a LOT of miles. until next time. y'all be safe.

Richard's new disks are Shiny! As an old construction worker I always like to wear boots while hiking because I worry about my ankles and uneven terrain. Heck I don't even walk my dogs in tennis shoes on sidewalks and bike paths.

[@Buck1954]

That must have been a hell of a rock. I had a rock about the size of a golf ball get sling-shotted up by the tire when glanced off of it. I was wearing a walking shoe. It split my big toenail and knocked my foot off the peg. I hobbled around for a week.

[@darlenesexton122]

Glad to see ya taking time off hope your feet heal up fast

[@larryaustin3193]

Great channel. I look forward to your weekly posts. You do a great job with the video production and I really dig your music selection. When I was younger, my buddies and I would do a 3 to 5 thousand-mile ride every spring. I'm 75 now and have slowed down a bit, but still enjoy the occasional day trips. Hope you both stay healthy and continue enjoying the BIG life.. Just a word on the new rotors. I bought a new Road King a few years back and had to replace the brake pads at 5,000, miles. The second set lasted about as long as the first. So when I put on the 3rd set, I replaced the stock rotors with a set of Harley floating rotors. I bought the 4th set of pads at the same time and have yet to use them. The bike has about 70,000 miles on it now and there are still some miles left on the third set. The floaters were expensive but they have more than paid for themselves.

[@hrgrlmaryland7822]

[@randalltom9750]

Well, I know how you feel Kris! I too broke my right foot. Ignoring the overly cautious directive of my wife to not step across the dog fence in the garage, I did, and now wear the same boot you are sporting. It’s week four, tomorrow I see the pediatrist, and hopefully no surgery will be required. It’s both painful and humiliating. Ice baths, and compression keep the swelling down. Dang thing still hurts, My harley sits in the garage, my butt in the easy chair, and I watch your videos… now even that distraction is a painful reminder of my own stupidity. Hope you feel better soon Kris!

[@michaelcox8604]

So much to like in this video. Almost thought it was over half way when by then we covered broken toe, tire replace, new shocks provided by friend, break job intro lesson, base camp, dust devil death wobble and near miss motorcycle take down, then second half we hit 100,000 miles at Joplin City limits my long lost ancestral home town, Chris’s cousin farm walk around, coffee, and learn that cows brain is like gold fish waking up in a new universe every morning or something like that.

Guys just a quick note thecreason Chris tyre worn like that could be the ryre pressure with all the gear that she carries see needs to have the rear at about 42 psi .. .so front should be 38psi rear 4 lb more so 42psi ...remember Chrises Triumph is more of a sportier bike....higher pressure rounds the tyre low pressure will flatten it and that's why it wears in the middle and you get a flat spot ...worked in a bike shop here in New Zealand for about 5 years air pressure is very important see how her bike goes with those pressures in it will handle better and tge tyres will last alot longer Cheers Gary
