TROUBLE ON THE ROAD - Handling Setbacks

[@YoastKaBoom]

This was my favouritest episode thus far. Can’t explain why. More riding than most videos, I guess. Nice.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Bill

[@1911JMB45]

I am glad to see you guys are okay.

[@sogdal1]

My wife and I stopped at The Gold King mine, it was worth it to me, tons of cool cars and old buildings and neet junk. When I was there the owner started some of the old trucks like a 28 Lasalle, I liked it a lot. Different strokes for different folks. Another great video, thanks.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I like old cars for sure just didn’t want to spend the money. That old Lasalle should have been cool for sure.

[@Titan500J]

You two are so blessed to have each other. Also putting a brand new tire(s) on a bike just make you feel good.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks a bunch

[@michelecrown2426]

The water falls and rock formations were awesome to see. I'm not physically able to do such trekking, so I live vicariously through your videos. I still ride, though on 3 wheels now but still putting the miles on. I live in NH so we have great roads in any direction.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericsandberg3167]

I spent 6 months riding out there in the greater Phoenix area and enjoyed the heck out of seeing you guys riding around all the spots we visited and enjoyed so much, I hope your vids and stories inspires more folks to explore all the fantastic sites this great country has to offer.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

We hope so also

[@randalltom9750]

You guys are great! You laugh, and have fun no matter. You enjoy your adventures and companionship. In short, you have fun, we have fun! Its great!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Randall! Love the feedback - it's great to know we're spreading the joy around.

[@flyermarkbig465]

Great area for riding. Flats on a bike always have an extra level of suckiness vs a car. Glad that it was a slow leak for you and that the generosity of workers got you on the road quickly. Stay safe.

[@babsgaudreau5936]

Seriously one of my favorite episodes!

[@bebomarin]

I agree... one of your best postings. Image quality is superb, and the pool shots made it even more personal. Keep ‘em coming!

Hi Guys, I've just started to watch your videos and I just love the way you two get on with your new life. You two have got me think of traveling and camping on my bike I was going to do my traveling in a RV or Motor home with my bike on a trailer. But now I think I'll build a trailer and ride my bike and just camp around New Zealand. Because I just love the way you give us the good the bad and the break downs. That's real life. Cheers, From NZ

Awesome Craig. Cheers

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You Jenn 🙏

[@fabiopunk1661]

Nice video and nice places - I have been there more than twenty years ago with my ex. The plan was to go back there with my Road King last year, then COVID hit the planet. This year maybe. You have been very lucky to get spot on assistance with those tires!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes Coach was awesome.

[@saveyourownlife2056]

I just found you thanks to Bob's new video of you two. I am thoroughly enjoying your video.

Oh the adventures of owning and traveling on a motorcycle. You guys are great. thanks for sharing your adventures with us

[@jimfreeman7656]

Well, this was good timing. I was sorting out what goes in the camping trailer and what goes on the bikes... The tire inflator and plug kit are definitely going on the bikes. Thanks, guys! I look forward to your post each week.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome glad to help.

Awesome riding you two. You have made my bucket list bigger. Love the videos.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

You won't be disappointed.

Have been watching since the beginning and this is your best video……love watching

Thank You. Can I ask what it is you like ? So we can do more of that.

[@terrydawkins9936]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife the personal dialogue between you two prior to the ride. The dialogue at the RV camp. Viewing the wonderful scenery is always good. But this segment had what I thought a more personal interaction between you two. I got the feeling I was in. Chair participating in the event

[@cathyn1033]

Great video. Again the memories came flooding back to me on the road with my Grandma and some of my siblings in the 70’s. Oak Creak Canyon, Montezuma’s Castle. Looking forward to your next season. Chris looking good on Gus and Rich, Alice is sport’n those new tires. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Cathy

[@wflentge]

My most favorite "local" ride is AZ 89A from Prescott to Jerome then to Flagstaff via Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. Then US 260 from Payson to Show Low across the rim is also great riding especially in the summer.. I was just up in Payson, Strawberry and Pine last Saturday for day ride. Great quality on the video. Will be waiting for Season 4!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

That is a great ride for sure

[@billlock77]

Saw you guys on Bob Wells video channel ! Love to watch u guys ! Your videos are shot really well ! Good job ! I be watching !

Hi Chris and Rich. Congratulations on the completion of your 3rd season. I have absolutely loved watching your adventures, and can’t wait for the next season. I have a Chipolte paste in a tube from Olo Foods that I would like to send you to give it a try. However, I don’t know where to send it to? Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Dennis

Hi Dennis. You can email us at [e-mail] and we'll give you an address. Appreciate you thinking of us!!!

Great Scenic byways and wonderfull scenery. Enjoyed watching this video. More to come I presume. 👍

[@richarddorsch7275]

Another GREAT video of your adventures!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks again!

[@stevenbuis4490]

Had a similar lay over with Electra Glide right at the front door of a hotel. Only I didn’t jump and got my foot caught underneath. Man and woman pulled up and he walked right by me into lobby. Comes out and walks by me,gets in car and drives off. I guess his wife jacked him up cause he came back and helped. All the time telling me what a bad day HE is having cause it took him 2hours to drive thru Atlanta ! You guys are the best thing happening in Kennesaw Ga. on Sunday nights.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Man that’s no fun. Glad someone helped.

All of the places you were in this video, I was there about 50 years ago. Oak Creek Canyon has the big slide rock. I and from SC but had relatives that lived in Ft Apache and I stayed out there with them for a couple of weeks. Got to see the whole state of Arizona .

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

In May we just did the rim. All of 300. Parked the bikes and took the truck. Rough road in the truck. We did ride all the area you were in.

Interesting vlog, reminds me of views back home. Dulverton Exmoor ! Uk Cheers and stay safe.

[@justinbailey2749]

Richard, we pull the same camper trailer but I switched to the darkside and I will never go back to a bike tire. Safe travels and love your videos, very informative

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Justin - have been considering looking into something like that, but haven't had a chance to do much research yet.

[@roger4375]

Beautiful country, absolutely stunning! Sorry to see you drop the Harley. I know what it is like, I did a few days ago. It hurts your pride more than anything else. Good call on riding to the Harley dealer for tires. Those TPS monitors are wonderful, I actually have one for my Bushtec trailer. As far as the food goes, It might be worth my time to ride out and eat at the “Ghost Burger”. That thing looked incredible. Ride safe guys, I really enjoy your adventures.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

True. Thanks

[@jackvoss175]

Your positive attitudes help you to find some “best ways” to enjoy yourselves in lots of different situations. Life is situational. Like all of life - adapt or succumb.

[@opel1954]

Thank you for showing the bike dropping incident...I thought I was the only one that did that.

[@icebrakernh]

When I lived in Tucson I graded that camp ground to smooth the roads after the monsoon season. That was over 20 years ago

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Well you did a great job. The roads were still in great shape. 🤣🤣

[@tracyknight5130]

Waykool video! This may be a crazy thought. I was thinking it would be kool if "Ruby" had a slide axle similar to a reefer trailer. Side the axle forward when pulling to relieve some tongue weight and HD shock wear. Slide back when set up, for a good base. Then again, "Ruby" may very well be perfectly balanced.

[@allenbazar2707]

Awesome scenery.I have a tire pump just like yours for my bike ,compact,small pumps slowly but does the job.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

This one is pretty fast considering it’s size. Maybe 5 min to fill a totally flat tire.

[@tealcheif1949]

We are taking a trip to Grand Canyon and Sedona areas in early June. Thanks for the tips on places to go.

[@johnnysechrist6313]

I've read a few Patterson books, great author.....In my 50 years of riding bikes I've never had a flat tire. May the Good Lord Bless and keep yall.

Haven't ridden a bike with TUBES since 1978! (Yamaha XS750). Never again after blow out doing 70mph. Gotta love Harleys. Glad you guys weren't pulling the trailer and lose air. Ride safe.

[@joshrandall5297]

Any bike with spoke wheels will usually have a tube. It's not just a Harley thing.

[@davidcjordan]

And most manufacturers went tubeless 30 years ago......

[@scooterbernieamputeeharleyride]

[@Cpcsof1]

I have the same air compressor. Very compact and works great. I have a air compressor and plugs on all 4 of my streetbikes. Mine all have cast rims so I can plug a tire if necessary.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I want some mags. The rims on Ms Alice are smooth spoke rims. I’ll trade for some mags.

[@kenwalz7231]

That's why I will never own spoke wheels again. If you had tubeless tires you and put in a plug or best is to carry a can of sealant with air pressure. It's always great watching you two! I've seen them all!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I would love mags but limited funds

[@dejonsmall9886]

Chris, Rich, guys I jones foe an episode every week. Rich wasn't clear if the tube had a puncture. That 96 CI runs great, had one in my 09 RK, however I really love the 103 in my2012 Ultra Limited. t's like the Chevy 350, it just goes. Short season so I guess I'll start over from #1. Sedona is great on a bike, the wife and I have been on that ride several times. Stay safe. Will wait patiently for season 4.. TTFN

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Freddie!! We never did find the problem with the tire. Yes, this was just our short winter season. We thought we'd go to Arizona for the winter and stay warmer, worked most of the time and now it's too warm so we're slowly heading north.

[@phoenix3166]

So much to comment on: 1. @12:09 - I hate it when something happens like dropping a motorcycle and EVERYONE jumps out of their cars to suddenly run over and help pick the bike back up. Then you have to be careful to not have it damaged from non-riders having their paws all over it, while being thankful to them for their efforts. 2. @21:10 - Ok Richard, we have it figured out. You were just jealous that Chris' bike is clean and your wheels were looking dirty. So, you let the air out of the tire at night so you'd have someone scrub the wheels clean the next day. 3. @26:05 - You know the old saying: "I don't always roll a joint, but when I do it's an ankle" Great content Chris and Richard!!!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes on dropping the bike. Good thing we didn’t tear the truck off as for the tires I needed to clean that back whelk so.... that last one is funny.

[@gordontownsend8439]

I know you just bought Chris a new bike but I gotta tell you I pulled a smaller trailer with a 2008 Electra glide with the 96in motor. When I traded for a 2011 Road glide ultra the 103 motor and the wider tires made a quantum leap in power and handling. I don't pull the trailer any more as our trips are shorter now and we ride a 2014 Road King now but the 103 even stock is way ahead of the 96. I enjoy your travels stay safe and thanks for the videos!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Ms Alice is a 09 so she has the wider tire and longer swing arm. Still the 96 but shes strong. I hope to get her in to upgrade the motor but that's for the end of the year.
