Welcome back to the channel, and to this first episode in a new short series of vids called "SUB' RIDES" where I get to ride some of my subscriber's bikes.
This is a special one as it is the VERY FIRST time I have EVER ridden a Harley-Davidson!
Watch me lose my Harley virginity, on this Iron 883 Sportster!
Big thanks to Brian for the kind loan!

From my side of the pond..... it’s BMW and Goldwing riders that are too cool to wave back at ya. As a Harley rider I do try and wave at all riders. Funny reactions when I wave at a Moped type rider, they turn around to see who is he waving at? I think the way you described the purpose of that Harley was spot on. It is what it is, and a whole lotta fun and cool doing it.

Really enjoyed that Rich! That sounded fantastic didn't it, I really really do need to get me a go on one of those - I can't tell you how many people have recommended a go on a Harley to me...seems like you're sold, and I suspect I would be quickly turned too. I was always firmly "anti cruiser" until I rode in (one of my more nattily titled "Readers Rides" episodes) Steve's Triumph Thunderbird - now my eyes have been opened and I suspect I'll love Harleys too.....look forward to your next vid on this one! ....."Sub' Rides" indeed.....

Used low mileage Harley's are pretty common here in the states. I think riders get caught up in the image game rather than just enjoying what you ride. No reason you can't have a liter bike in your garage, right next to a pushrod VTwin.

I had a 2014 Low Rider and a 2015 Road Glide. Sold them both and went back to Yamaha. (FJR and a Super Tenere) The Road Glide was the ultimate for long distance riding here in North America, comfort in spades. Extremely heavy at about 940 lb dry weight decked out with a tour pak etc. The only thing I miss is the feeling of belonging. When you ride a Harley and get welcomed to the family you really get a sense of belonging to something like you do not get with any other bike.

K1600GT owner, former FLSTFI owner. When I sold my Harley I cried like my dog died. Your vid reminded me why. Really glad you enjoyed your time on the 883...cool as you like and really chilling, as long as there’s no traffic and it’s a decent day. My 50 mile commute was ok as long it was dry and longer rides were ok as long as planning was good . As a second bike, a Harley would be my first choice for the spare space in my garage...I’ve still got my cool motorclothes! I wish. Cheers, pal.

XXX did a high mileage tour on his 883 of Yellowstone (I think....)

I agree, I have never considered myself a certain kind of biker, I'm a two wheel rider. I have seen at first hand the differences though. When we owned the Goldwing we were ignored by other bikers and when we were on the BMW K1600 GTLE, again, We were ignored by non BMW riders. Other bikers were unsure as to how to react when we waved from the Wing and the K. Silly really. I even waved at Vespers and Lambrettors. Loved this Rich.

Sorry Rich but for what I want out of riding the Harley has never given me any riding satisfaction but it portrays an image and serves an audience and biking is all about enjoying the ride. Great film again Rich. Thanks for sharing.

Good video from an fellow East Mids rider. I have just part ex’d my Kwak z1000sx 2015 for one of these (2018 Iron 883 with 2950 miles on it) and absolutely love it. It has the stage 1 tuning kit already on (Vance & Hines exhaust) & sounds fantastic. No, it’s not the quickest, no it’s not razor sharp on the brakes, but it looks brilliant & sounds it too. They have so much character. I now enjoy my ride & the scenery too.

Riding a Harley is a tricky thing, the noise is both a love and hate with me... However, there’s no way you can have stock pipes on a Harley, or your not in the club! There are times when on long trips on mine I wish it was quieter. But the times you first jump on, turn on and it roars into life and puts that smile on your face... well outweigh the occasional ‘embarrassment’s’ and nothing like riding in a group either 🙂 You should try a one of the bigger V twins if you get the chance, and the so called negatives people always mention vibration, basic controls, noise, clunk on the gearbox etc etc... are what I love about mine. I suppose like most riders, If I wanted a quiet no flys in your teeth experience, I’d be in my car 😁 P.s I always wave.. or nod...even to mopeds 👋... it’s those GS riders that don’t in my experience!

Don't have one myself...not into the hype...but would love a few of the models...some are very nice...nice sounds...glad you had a good run...also my self-imposed prejudice against the little 883.... but your vid brings out the best...would be a good one in the stable...for runnin to eat breakfast...I know my buddy has a clean 03 heritage ultra classic, a stunning 16 streetglide....nice examples esp the way he details, leds, and air shocks on the glide....anyways...

Just had a look...yes it's a looker I'll admit, but the Scout I saw I think must have been the Bobber in Thunder Black....sort of an 883 Sportster on steroids! Awesome, plenty of the 'general public' checking out the Indian....there was a new BMW 1250 6' away that attracted no interest from anyone....Indian sure looked cool in the late afternoon sun.....

I'm not a Harley or cruiser rider, but there's something appealing about them until you have to go around a bend then it strikes you that they're shit!! I used to work with a couple though when I was on tankers. Hard to admit 😉, but when they wear black open face lid with black shades and face mask and black leathers with black bike there is a certain element of don't even look at me I'm sub zero cool. Certainly too cool to nod at another biker. And cruiser riders who are members of one of the proper bike gangs forget it. Just be thankful you didn't get shot! Those biker gangs like the Angels are not to be fucked with. Thanks for the vid Rich. Cheers

Had a new softail before my R1200GS, chalk and cheese, uncomfortable agricultural noisy are a few of my dislikes, in the end I got fed up of my nuts cooking at traffic lights due to heat from rear cylinder, but that's in Oz ! they may have people that love them but def not me.

Nice to hear a fresh perspective on HD. Love my sportster 48. First bike was a Harley. Tried BMW, Honda, Indian but always went back to hd. Yes other brands are better in many ways but you can't account for the grin factor. Ride safe mate.

Don’t worry about what u wear or what people think & u will b a genuine Harley rider . If u can ride a Indian Scout . It’s the direct competitor to that bike ,but I think the Indian is better . Beautiful photos. Really nice ride that day . Glad to b home from hospital to watch your videos again.
