You do have a point. There is a temperature that is just too cold for riding even with heated grips and a seat. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I just finished a week long trip from Georgia to West Virginia and back that was about 1,500 miles. The 750 GS was perfectly comfortable and had plenty of power for both back roads and highway. It’s so light and nimble - I love it. Good luck.

I’m no expert on this, but I don’t think a tuner is required for just slip-on mufflers.

You got that right. I always prefer using manufacturer’s parts when I can but that is an expensive proposition for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You are right in the middle of motorcycle riding heaven in Kingsport. I love the Tennessee/North Carolina/Georgia area with Virginia thrown in there too. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’ll definitely look up that ride. This area has a great choice of beautiful roads for motorcycles. My schedule has just never lined up with VAMM, but now that I’m retired I may try to make it next year. Thx for watching and commenting!

@@GARamblinMan There a number of folks that come join us from Georgia, so y'all would feel right at home. Hopefully we will see you next summer.

Let me know when the date is set for next year. Thanks!

I’ll follow my boy hood idol, NC Stoney just about anywhere on 2 wheels. He is a bit of a Speedy Gonzalez though.

Always great to ride with my boyhood idol and friend, NC Stoney. I’ll remember to plug in the microphone next time! Thanks for watching.

Beautiful part of our great country to ride. Roads in that area are made for the BMW GS motorcycles. Thanks as always for watching and commenting.

Beautiful part of our country with roads made for motorcycles. Thanks for watching!

We rode this on a Thursday, so before the weekend traffic and it was great. I hate it when you get on roads like this and Grandma Moses in her Prius is in front of you and Speedy Gonzales is behind you in his truck or Porsche (pick one). Thanks for watching!

Beautiful day and the ride couldn’t been better. Thanks as always for watching!

I think it was our best trip so far. Hopefully your schedule clears up for October. Looks like a great trip you guys had to North Dakota.

Some models have the old style analog tachometers, but most now have digital tachs that you can see when you scroll through the options on the LCD or TFT instrument clusters.

Always glad to ride with my friend and boyhood idol, NC Stoney. We had a great week in West Virginia riding. Hot, but no rain so it was great. Thanks as always for watching and commenting.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I enjoy sharing my rides with all of you and it’s a great hobby. Thanks again and ride safe!

First extended trip for me too on the BMW and I completely agree. The roads we were on were made for motorcycles like ours. The bigger and heavier cruisers are wonderful bikes for their purpose but I wouldn’t trade mine for those anymore. Great for long straight rides and probably more comfortable seats but I love my adventure style bike now. I switched out my seat to the BMW comfort seat and it’s a definite upgrade from the stock seat but still not all day comfortable. I still need to get off it every 2 hrs or so. Good to ride with you and let’s get that October trip planned. Take care!

Great to see you and hear your voice, I truly miss your Vlogs. I hope you are doing well. Do you still have your Heritage?

@ricmiller484 I sold my Heritage last year and bought the BMW F750 GS in January. Big change in type of motorcycle, but loving it so far. Thanks for watching!

We lucked out in the weather the trip. Hot, but no rain. Thanks for watching!

I thought about the R1250’s before I bought mine and just wanted something smaller and lighter. And I still got all the technology and riding aids along with exactly the same TFT screen. A win win for me. The Madstad windshield was a great upgrade too. Very high quality product and easy to install. Thanks for watching and enjoy your bike!

Always good to ride with my idol, NC Stoney.

@@GARamblinMan he is "Da Man!"

You’re right. I was a little careless there. That road has a lot of sweeping curves you can see through but that one was tighter and I definitely was not riding correctly or safely at that moment. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments.

Thank you for the kind comments and I really appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I did love my Heritage as I’m sure you love yours. The BMW was a great decision my part and I’m glad to have a different style motorcycle for a change. Good luck in your decision and I know you will love it too. Try out the Triumph Tiger 900 and maybe a few others. Lots of great bikes out there in this category, but you could never go wrong with a BMW GS model. Thanks for watching!

You won’t be disappointed. The new BMW F800 GS models are in the showroom and ready for you. It’s a very light and manageable motorcycle. I think you’ll like it. Just make sure to test ride it. It’s a lot taller than your Virago 250 but easy to get accustomed to. Good luck!

To each his own I loved that motorcycle especially with my enhancements.

Thank you for the nice comment and watching my video. I’ll try to keep most of my videos somewhere in the 10 to 15 minute range because that’s what UA-cam tells me is about the average attention span for most of my viewers. Thanks again!

Thanks. I love both! The helmet was expensive but I like the Arai quality and fit and the US flag graphic sealed the deal. Thx for watching!

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.

I did swap out the stock seat for a Mustang seat with a backrest. Great upgrade! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

Things do change quickly! I bought my new bike in January and have about 3,500 miles on it so far and I love it. I just decided it was time for a change in motorcycles and the type of bike I was riding. Very pleased so far. I use the BMW navigation system on this motorcycle. It came with a connection for it and I purchased the nav unit for it and it works well. It’s coordinated with the bike’s controls and I can do everything with it from the handlebar controls without taking my gloves off and having to use a touch screen. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@GARamblinMan Excellent. Many thanks Doug. Congrats on the new bike and I look forward to many more motovlogs! Keep up the great work. Thanks for the details on the gps.

It’s a great bike for sure. Easy to spend $ on mods and upgrades though.

Glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you. The days of the really heavy bikes are over for me. I love the lighter 750 GS. Thanks for watching and the kind words

Thank you sir! Great bike and loving it so far. Thanks for watching!

You got a great deal and the older Twin Cam Heritage models are perfectly good motorcycles. I rode a 2016 model in Hawaii a few years ago and loved it. Thanks for watching!

I think you made a good decision. I really like the Indian Scout models. Thanks for watching!

@@GARamblinMan Thank you for the content.

You bought a great motorcycle and I’m sure you will love it. Here’s to many happy miles!

Heritage might be a bit too heavy and powerful for a first time beginner bike. But with your size you should adjust to it quickly. The Street Bob and Triumph T120 might be a bit small but are both good bikes. Check out the Triumph Speedmaster. It’s a little smaller than the Heritage but a great cruiser and probably more comfortable than the Street Bob or Triumph T120. Good luck in your search!.

It’s a little big and powerful for a brand new rider, but with your size, I think you would adjust quickly to it. I would just take it easy at first and practice especially slow speed maneuvers. Any smaller displacement starter bike is going to be really small and uncomfortable for you. Good luck!

I had a heel toe shifter on my old Suzuki Boulevard but the Heritage didn’t have it stock and I got used to using just the toe shifter so I never upgraded the Heritage with a heel and toe shifter. Thanks for watching!

I agree the price has gotten out of hand for the Heritage and a lot of other Harley-Davidson models. I got mine for less than $20K 3 years ago and I thought they were getting too expensive then. There are a lot of other great lower priced choices out there for new motorcycles or like you said, there are plenty of used one’s available. Thanks for watching!

I think you’ll love this Tiger 660. Nice low seat height and very light and easy to ride bike. Looks great too! Good luck with it and ride safe.
