Even with a few issues right off the bat I have to say...

I wonder if this is what has made me so stubborn? Anyway, remember the big deal that was made about the Pan Am spoked rims being tubeless?

Since we've finished our supper of "criticism & dislikes", it's time for dessert.

I'm uploading my bi-weekly vid a few days early because I just found this out and thought it was important. H-D apparently issued a technical service bulletin in November of last year, but it seems nobody heard about it. Let's just say that I found out about it just in time...

Since I'm an "eat your supper before you get dessert" type of guy, everything I hate about the Pan America

It seems no matter what I buy, quality & consistency standards have slipped across the board at many of the largest manufacturers on this planet. Even buying something as simple as 4 pairs of jeans becomes a hassle. Order all the same size, get only one pair that fits. Being able to trust that you'll get the same product of the same quality every time you buy it is a hallmark of the most successful businesses. If businesses or manufacturers start letting that slip, well, there's always someone out there just waiting for their chance to "take a shot at the king"

My cousin was down to visit & was quite surprised just sitting on the Pan Am

Just a quick check on the Pan America's fuel economy after a short backroad trip, sometimes real-world numbers can be hard to find.

If I pay you for a service & you do a good job, I'm a loyal customer for life. If you attempt to rip me off, lie, and/or try to deceive me in any way, well...

My 1st time out hitting the twisties in the Appalachian Foothills around my house

It's funny how a ride can make you reflect on things.

Starting off with a OE exhaust sound clip. After this video was made, I found out Stealth actually has something in the works. I can't wait to see something that looks better than my crummy photoshop!

American made by a small business. I am in no way sponsored by Villain2Hero & the Side Cases/Crash Guards were paid for with my own money. I just checked and they're on sale now for $319.99! (far less than I paid)- https://www.villain2hero.com/products/pan-america-saddlebags

A Public Service Announcement to do a little preventative maintenance because apparently a few Pan Am owners have lost a few parts.

An honest sit down discussing my initial Pan America woes/disappointment and my overall feeling now...

Just being honest about my experience so far, oh, and trying out Sport Mode for the 1st time...
