  1. Defenittally Harley roads. I want to take the roads down to the keys next year. I wonder if they are straight as well.
  2. My girlfriend and I rented the 2007 Harley-Davidson Heritage classic this past winter in Miami, Florida. Both the bike and the location were an absolute blast, and I’d recommend this spot to any motorcycle enthusiasts for a ny time of the year. This video just shows the highlights of the route we took, some of the best scenery be drove through, as well as some shots of the bike itself that we rented. We’ll be posting a more detailed video soon that covers the exact route through the A1A historic scenic highway. Video: Miami Trip See our exact itinerary below: Miami up and down the scenic A1A Downtown Miami Coral Gables Coconut Grove Little Havana Hillsboro Beach Bocca Roton Lake Worth West Palm Beach Palm Beach Motorcycle: 2007 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic Upgrades: Bassani fishtail pipes Stage one kit Displacement: 1573.0 ccm (95.98 cubic inches) Engine type: V2, four-stroke Torque: 119.2 Nm (12.2 kgf-m or 87.9 ft.lbs) @ 2750 RPM

  4. Hey Guys, Thanks for the feed back! Problem was BMW Mechanics told us catastrophic failure. They then contact BMW in Germany and then the Head of BMW in North America. Neither of them responded for weeks. I wrote multiple emails back and fourth to them and they decided to replace the head. My client, which I assist with his collection of motorcycles was not happy because they deemed it was a catastrophic failure then changed their minds. As my first video on youtube, it may not have conveyed that well LOL.
  5. Thanks for the responses! It is more of the principle. You charge someone money for something they should not have to worry about issues only after one hundred miles. Hopefully this weather changes fast so I can get out and ride.
  6. Hey guys, I wanted to post something that has been hidden within the BMW community. A client of mine recently purchased the New 2021 BMW R-18, First Edition. My client was excited to finally receive his bike and immediately put a 100 miles on it. However, to our disbelief, we noticed that the left exhaust pipe started to blow blue smoke. We sent the bike back to the BMW dealership that we purchased it from and they had BMW mechanics evaluate the engine. BMW deemed that the engine had catastrophic failure. After a few weeks, we were told that BMW would only replace the left cylinder head. My client was not happy with the news, as an engine with “catastrophic failure“ should have fully been replaced. After doing some research, we noticed that not many criticisms/issues have been reported on the these bikes. It seems that BMW is trying to keep negative reviewers silent. However, another manufacturing issue that came up in the motorcycle community is that the fork head screw is not torqued correctly. I have link a video below for you guys, leave a comment and let us know your thoughts! https://youtu.be/Tmac8Y6U3uQ
