Doing the paper work from Country to Country Sounds like Driving in the Philippines, I’m 65 years old and still riding on two wheels, from country to country depends on the price and my budget at the time. Most of the World seems to travel on two Wheels, BECAUSE of cost. I find that most people are kind and helpful plus they think your nuts , crazy, loco loco. Hindi , wala, No-oh, International driver’s license works. I’ve learned to make several color photo copies of everything and then laminate. Thank you

I wish my local HD dealer was as proactive as Grand Teton. I live in Portland Oregon and the dealer I bought my Pan Am from has 1 tech that they said is qualified to work on them and their service department is terrible overall. They had my bike last summer for 2 days to do the 1k service and I asked them to check the radiator hose because it looked like it was getting closer to exhaust. They kept it the 2 days and told me the hose was fine... and never did my service! I had to wait an additional day for them to actually do the service which they forgot to do. Two weeks later my hose melted because the clamp was on wrong and allowed the hose to slip off. I had to locate the replacement hose for them because it was backordered and then they used my hose on someone else's bike. Just can't win with these local guys. I had to talk to a dealership manager in order to get everything sorted. I wish I lived closer to Grand Teton dealer. Great video and stories from Dan

As far as recomendations for a panam refresh or improvement... My only major complaint is that the headlight absolutely sucks. it is NOT bright enough and no you cant remedy that by putting the overpriced LED foglights on it, that shouldnt be necissary. The headlight by itself should be bright enough to go down a back country road at night without feeling nervous. My buddies triumph 890 headlight is WAY WAY brighter, easily 3x brighter, and his came with foglights included... and his sticker price was 10k less than mine lol. Other than that, everything I've done to the bike has been pretty optional and just improvements or making it my own. Oh, one last thing. The screen on it is kinda junk. It functions as the gauge cluster but if you ask it to do anything else like music or navigation its just... really unrefined.

@@richardwilson8404 I was riding on the highway at 80 mph on cruise control and suddenly the bike lost power. I then pulled in the clutch and down shifted and pulled the throttle and nothing happened, the car behind me almost hit me and I went ahead and pulled the clutch all the way in and came to a stop on the inside shoulder of the highway. That was a horrible situation. Turns out the velocity stacks melted and a rubber piece fell into the throttle body. Harley did not have a replacement for the velocity stacks as it's a new bike so they were going to replace the rubber piece that fell and not the velocity stacks. Therefore they were going to give me a broken bike that was gonna fail again. I should have sued them. Instead they sold me the low rider s for 27k with just the factory warranty. I'm not happy with Harley.
