This is my latest video on my youtube channel. If you aren't a subscriber do so because i have a ton more riding to do this year and bring you guys some great shots of New York City. I did this video with the intention of making a Top Speed video of the Harley Davidson Sportster 48. I haven't seen one yet online, so i figured why not?
This day wasn't the best day to do this kind of video because the wind gust was pretty high and for those of you that ride know that riding fast in high winds sucks, especially if it is a cruiser and naked bike. There are no aerodynamics what so ever so you feel every wind blast. If you know Harley Speedometers you know how fast i was going. I had a little of a close call because traffic stopped suddenly due to a construction truck so in the beginning half of the video you will see the bike going from like 80 to 45 50mph in like 3 seconds which suck on a Harley because the breaking system for the sportster aren't the greatest and the last thing you want to do is lock up your wheels when you are going that fast.
To add insult to injury a dam Livery cab also tried to cut me off shortly after, so.. it was not meant to be the 100mph day. I give a big shout out to the Up and Out crew (Pita21, Andyr6 and Alex Malo) for letting me hang with them when i was learning to ride. Those rides thought me allot of riding in tight, close, fast and dangerous situations lol Big shout out to Roger for the lessons in CRUISING. I am not on a supersport anymore.
I want you to keep in mind that i do not advise anyone attempt or duplicate these actions please follow your local speed limits especially if you are learning or beginning to ride. Speed is loads of fun but it can take 1 mistake and a little fear to turn a fun ride to a really bad one.
