Miss the beginning of it, so I'm back at the beginning! #9milson2wheelsmatt
#394, boss.
Dude, my wife and i LOVE your content. Honestly one of a very few channels that I watch all of your videos. Love the pork chop express lol I want to name my bike but do t feel the need lol. I don't even know if its male or female, i respect its privacy lol. Btw watched your nieces video,i think it was her first, she did a great job, you are teaching her well. New sub for her. Anyways, keep up the strong work brother, stay safe, keep wheels on the ground and your feet on the pegs.
Damn Josh you're making want to sell my crotch rocket and buy another cruiser
I had an absolute blast having you for the twelve or less hours in Ohio! Thank you for making the trek through on your way home! 110% hardcore man. Riding 500+ miles in the rain on my journey home was NOT a good time! I can't imagine doing it on a bike older than myself and through the pitch black mountain twisties! Memorable for sure! until next time! ⚡⚡
Can’t wait to ride with you again, you’re truly an amazing human being who deserves every bit of success you have and MORE
@@shadetreesurgeon I'm not crying you're crying! but really I'm crying. It was a wonderful time!
I Love that you guys got to ride together! My 2 fav UA-camr's!
Holy Crap, it's a CROSSOVER on the Open Road. Inspiring!!
Man I’m jelly
I have heard it said:
To drive in a car, is like seeing a great movie,
To ride a motorcycle,
is like being in the movie.
Exactly
Paul Bear I like that
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance -- Robert Pirsig
Love that ✊🏼🏍
Ride a bicycle cross country it’s like you’re making the movie.
Not many other motorcycle UA-cam's give you the grizzled experience of a beard slowly eating a go pro lol
Came for the shadetree, stayed for the whipping beard ride view. 🕶
My wife and I used to take a couple of big motorcycle trips every summer. We live in Iowa. Went to Asheville for a big Honda rally one time. She rode her first 1500 Goldwing there in the mountains. After we got back, she bought her first 'wing, a 1997 Aspencade. Epic trip !
Josh, that was the best line.....
"You know how I know you can do it, there is no other option".....
Once there’s no other option but victory... then success is assured!!
@@shadetreesurgeon Sun Tzu could not have said it better
Shadetree rides through literally anywhere: “This is FREAKING beautiful!”
Love that positive outlook on life my guy- keep crushing it!
" You know how I know you can do it? Because there's no other option!" Words of wisdom from from my Drill Sergeant in the 80s and now from Shadetree Surgeon!
Watching your videos is like therapy for me. I miss the ride so bad, I'm about to buy myself a Road Star 1700 and get back in the saddle, your videos have gotten me through not having a bike and the horrifying events of 2020 that ruined my life and forced me to sell my bike. Thank you for being unapologetically you.
Almost heaven, West Virginia, blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river.
Thats original. Wah wah. (Debbie downer music)
Wait. Have we met her b4? She seems easy to get along with tho.
Well don on the the roadside diagnosis and repair. You say your no mechanic but you can do more than alot of guys who would have called a wrecker.
Life is old there, older than the tree's, younger than the mountain's, blowing like a breeze.
@@georgeperkins4171 ... 11:15
Everyone: you'll never make it on that goldwing!
Shadetree: you underestimate my power!
"Do or do not, there is no try!"
I find their lack of faith disturbing!
Roll for 2 D20 for initiative.
As the owner of an even older 550 Nighthawk, Trail 90 and 4TRX 125, I never doubted that Honda for a second. I was wondering why it had so many problems myself 😂
The reassuring Goldwing engine..
Watching Josh ride that Goldwing all over is why I bought my Old Touring Bike. Now it’s my turn to see the sights… Thanks for taking us along for the ride..
What a trooper she was. I was stationed in Oklahoma and had orders to a school in Charleston SC. A friend I worked with also had to go to same school. He was from Wa State and had never been east of Mississippi River. I asked he wanted to ride the scoot, he said sure. I had a Suzuki GS 1100 trimmed out with fairing etc. His eyes were as big a saucers at some of the sites. It is great to take someone on that experience.
Loved the comment "save some panic for later" Some rain gear might have allowed her to be a little warmer and cut wind. For me everything looks better on the bike. Happy trails.
"Expect the worst" this is not the words of a pessimist, but of an experienced optomist😁
A realist.
You can't be optimist while saying that. Realist is more suitable.
That many miles, that few issues (shown) might need to call it the "Trusty Glide"
Man you just opened my eyes about the struggle, what I had since a few years. So the thing is I'm having a yamaha tdm 850 1996. Always wanted something better, but now I see I was wrong! Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
ive searched youtube over and over again since finding your channel .. im convinced you're the only one going cross country and actually talking about it .. everyone else it seems is 30 min of gas station video .. 30 seconds of video from the saddle .. no commentary .. much less live thoughts ya know . you post a lot of cool stuff .. but the cross country videos are my favorite for sure
Why do I suddenly feel like selling my business, packing up my 07 Wide glide and going by by? I've been threatening to just ride off into the sunset for years now. Great video Josh. Do it again soon!
you should do it if you havent already
What’s stopping you?
Don't do it on a Harley unless you have a tow truck following you, get a Goldwing
This is what it’s about man, some days the urge to just ride comes on. We push it down, say not now, later... we make plans...
Even if just once in your life you say “fuck it” and just... ride. Ride it out. Miles under the tyres. Sun, wind, rain. The creeping dusk, the bleeding dawn.
Motorcycles man, you feel everything. You’re in it.
No truer words could be said in the comments
Spoken like a person who just got their license and who's trying to fit in. This sounds like some sort of stupid '80s movie theme song and nowhere even close to reality.
@@mustbetrue1602 lol. Try over 20yrs of riding.
I can't find one reason to not love this poorly produced random u tube channel ...just the best thing going these days..
Thanks for taking me along! Excellent. Nice to meet someone like me, who decides to do something, has it go wrong, but continues on despite that being the bad choice. I was caught in a (dying) cyclone on a motard. Soaking wet, shit roads, shit visibility and utterly inappropriate tires. Did I stop - of course not - that would’ve been the smart thing to do. Ride on Shadetree!
"Sounds like a microwave on defrost"
Hahaha.....
That cracked me up. 👍...I love this channel!
Best part of a breakdown on a bike is when you beat it and are back on the road. It’s boring otherwise
Dewey Cox wrote an amazing song about this video. You've inspired me to take my wife back to these lovely hills I grew up in.
Woke in the middle of the night looking at motorcycles and saw a gold wing for sale. Led me to your channel and after hour straight Watching you first get ur bike to this epic adventure I must say I'm super stoked for a real adventure. Thank you for the inspiration and I especially loved u bringing a mate along the journey and meeting up with friends. I'm two weeks into my new career and hobby of riding so makes me excited for the long rides and magical views and events along the way. Keep following your bliss brother, doin it with style and grace!
Paint the goldwing purple and call it purple rain.
Purple heart
Man I just got off of a 4400 mile road trip in a Kia Soul we did in 6 travel days, I thought that was tough 😂 You are a savage 🤘🏽
Watching your part 1 vid inspired me to take my 02 Vulcan 1500 on my first OTR trip ever. I did 350 miles to visit some friends and family. I found that I love how being on a motorcycle can completely change your experience even on roads that you travel frequently in a car. No better way to see America. Thanks.
Great and Awesome video, Josh. As a biker and truck driver, I've covered about ever state in the Continental U.S., minus Minnesota and North Dakota. I am still amazed at the beauty of this great land. The best experiences that I've had, have ALWAYS been on the U.S. Highways. The Interstates are fast, but the scenery just isn't there.
Dude, I gotta tell ya... I was just sitting here grinning from ear to ear, enjoying you enjoying those mountains. I've never had the chance to get down through that area myself, so for now I guess I'm just living it vicariously through you. Maybe one day... But thanks for the trip!
PS. I've never heard of those sort of front-end handling issues being "normal" on a 'Wing... even the old ones. You might want to get that checked out by one of your mechanic buddies before you attempt any further "adventures" on her...
This is why I love america. Just look at it. Wish I was there.
God Bless America.
Come on over
We'll tale you and get rid of all those that live here and hate America.
You’re always welcome in the States. Hope you can come here when things are more normal
WOW. Mad respect for getting this done. I know there are many times when the camera is off that you just gotta buckle down and make it to the other side. Glad you guys both made it home safe. Totally threw a curve ball at the Buffalo Airport LMAO was not expecting that, but she was a tough cookie. Great seeing you the other night brother!
These two videos are incredibly inspiring. I bought my first motorcycle a while back. A 20 year old VN 750.....for $2k....I think it's time for an adventure. "Whats the worst that could happen?"
Opens with ”You think I’m Dumb!?!” I’m in for the Ride. 😂 funny stuff here. “Save some panic for later” Classic 😂
Hey, my Goldwing don’t leak nothing but exhaust fumes. ArabHoney for the win. Thanks for sharing this great trek.
So beautiful. I'm rebuilding my late uncle's 78 goldwing and I hope I can get to go on a trip like this next season
"Cool it started." Damn near spit beer all over my laptop.
That is so awesome the two of you collaborating on this! I have subscribed to both of your channels for a while now. It's so great to be from Ohio, and see you two meet up. Her Two Wheels actually encouraged a ride with my buddies to go to Buckeye Lake to Papa Boos! Thanks both of you!! Safe travels with rubber side down!!
What an epic journey, pounding out the miles with a forcefulness like Odin’s hammer! Way to go @arabh0ney! What a trooper, and smarter than Josh to avoid most of the rain.
This video made me appreciate the roads I ride on every day. Being from Pennsylvania all the roads look like the West Virginia roads that you were in love with.
Both states are back road joy.
Shawn Bauman we did a ride from PA during quarantine when WV lifted restrictions on dining. Never even saw a highway. All backroads. It was pretty awesome.
Every long ride I have been on like that it always seems like it rains on the way home. Thanks for bringing us along, Josh. I used to live in Lockport, NY, it was bitter sweet seeing the falls again.
You & Jess make me appreciate the motorcycle community so much better, I have been riding 40 years, riding sport bikes in the quiet cocoon of full face helmet & leather. 2008 I discovered my 1st Harley Sportster handles like a sportbike, amazing torque, dual disc brakes rubber mounted engine, 1/2 helmet & focus on the enjoyment of the ride. Motorcycles are about joy 🤩 and the very reason you ride with all your senses wide full open, not just the machine and cocoon you inadvertently put yourself into. Thank you HTW, for bringing out the joy of riding sharing your true passion for our sport.
As a welder of 35 years I moved to work wherever I wanted to ride and moved to the Front Royal Va area for 3 years. Had easy access to West by God Va and Western Maryland. Awesome riding man
I'm glad you made to the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of my favorite rides.
Dude, your first video that popped up in my youtube feed was your trek from Tampa to Vintage Fest at Barber in my neck of the woods. That one had me hooked. I loved that video and ones like this keep me coming back. You’ve got one hell of a positive outlook on life, man.
yea, these vids are my favorite so far, trips with meet ups, friends coming along for the ride and interesting events along the way. and the simple joy of riding two wheels, fantastic!!
When you commented on the tunnels I was thinking that I hope you got to go through some of the ones on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Then there you were! I was on the parkway several days ago. I never get tired of that ride.
I guess that after a million miles in a semi truck, I think a lot of mesentery for granted. I often dream of riding my bike over there. And in Florida too. I live in Idaho, There are a lot of really beautiful places over there. What's the best ride that I have ever taken was through the Redwood Forest in Northern California. And then Up the Oregon coastline. I know that it seems like it's on the other side of the world, Florida feels like that for me when it comes to my bike. but if you've never done that ride, put it on your bucket list. Great video Brother. Wish I was riding next to you.
Some good motorcycle roads in Idaho, just have to drive there though!
I’m about six hours north of the Smokies and it’s by far my favorite place to ride. I did the Blue Ridge from Asheville to Cherokee in June, as well as the Dragon, Cherohala, 28 etc. breath taking!
When I got my first bike the salesman told me one phrase that has always stood out in my mind, and around 13:45 you reminded me of it again Josh. "There are 2 types of riders in the world. Those who have fallen, and those who are going to fall. So why be afraid of the consequences?"
My experience, when a bike is wobbling on the front wheel in a turn, there is too much weight on the back. This lightens the load on the front and gives the wobble.
That was an amazing journey. You did something totally random and it comes over really well over 2 episodes.
Great work . A Classic .
From southern West Virginia head north on I-77 & take US Hwy 19 to I-79. Absolutely gorgeous. Didn't do it on a bike but a GMC Jimmy with the Far & Away soundtrack playing. Foggy until the sun hit. It was a serious wow moment for me back in around 1990.
Just have seen this video today,I live outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, it really is fun riding around here, inspires me to do trips like this one. Because I can also,nothing really stopping me,just need to arrange some time from work!
"Things i've done on camera" is a loaded statement
You're a bloody hero, mate! All credit to you. Congratulations from the UK, for completing an amazing adventure, against all odds.
This series is by far my favorite of your content. I have a 1200 Goldwing as well and had the front end wobble. Fresh tires and All Balls steering head bearings helped a lot. These bikes are underengineered for the backroad trips as you said. Still a beautiful ride! Thanks for taking us along!
North Carolina is terrible on two wheels at night. But not just two wheels it sucks in a car too. The rain just makes it worse dear lord. I love your channel man. And your videos! I hope when I move down there I get to run into you at some point. I love riding in the mountains back home though. Getting to hear someones outside perspective on it makes me wish I hadn't grown up there and got to experience it. Not that I had a bad life there but I just feel like I don't get to enjoy it the same way you did. But man those views are gonna be something I miss. Keep living life to the fullest man you're the best and I'm glad you shared this with everyone!
Honda's are fine if they're dripping oil...it's when they stop dripping .
I've got an 82 Wing that doesn't leak a drop. I had 2 CB750 4s that never leaked.
Your mistaken for Harley’s...
Yep, ive owned a lot of hondas over the years.
Not one of them leaked oil. Uncanny reliability.
My 750 Shadow ACE never leaked a damn thing. And I beat the hell out of her. The speedo went out, the turn signal switch broke and at least one of the carbs went bad but she still ran like a champ and never leaked oil, gas, or coolant. My Lowrider on the other hand leaks primary fluid even after I had the gasket replaced.
If its leaking oil then you know there's still oil in there lmao
Way to go man!
As someone who has also crushed a lot of miles on a 40 year old bike, kudos. It's a whole other kind of fun lol
Absolutely Amazing Brother! Memories you'll have forever. We truly do live in a beautiful country if you take the time to look. And to make it even better, on a 30+ year old GoldWing, basically trouble free. That's why I love my 85 Interstate. So happy you took us along on this epic journey!
What a fantastic trip man, and two of my favourite UA-camrs in the one place 😁 one of your best videos to date.
I'm in Scotland, here weve got the roads, we've got the scenery but the weather's not always hospital, makes it all the more special when the sun's out and you get to ride through the mountains.
I'm a simple man.
I see a Shadetree video notification, I immediately click it.
I appreciate you 🤘🏻
So many emotions! I have to say I have loved this whole trip. Can’t wait until you head west!
Thank you my friend, you’re an inspiration
Dude, I love your enthusiasm and general love of life. I live in SW Virginia and I take for granted having the Blue Ridge Parkway in my back yard. Now I got to abandon the yard work.....and take my old FXDX for a 200 mile loop. I enjoy riding 45mph on the parkway and just relax....like you said "going slow on a slow motorcycle"!
Loved this video, love Her Two Wheels. You guys are awesome. Sometimes when I just need a smile or some laughs, I can count on you to bring them to me. I appreciate you, and all the hard work you put into your channel. You rock dude
Now you understand why we love the mountain life
Absolutely
I haven’t done it on a bike but eastern Tennessee has some amazing roads that you would love, highways, back roads and high over looks that you can see for miles.
I watch most of your videos but this one was somehow one of my favourites. Your energy and love for life is contagious. Your trek through the Blue Ridge Parkway was indeed gorgeous and the fact that you felt the need to stop talking through while on that road, shows your reverence and understanding of what beauty is. By the way, I ride a 2018 Goldwing DCT Tour and will be heading through Tampa on my way from Virginia to Key West. It would be amazing to meet you at some point.
I've had my head down working on some projects for the past month , so I didn't get to see this until now. As a West Virginian, I am so happy that you enjoyed our roads (even though the Goldwing didn't lol). If you and some friends ever find your way out here again, I will happily offer to put you guys up for your stay and point out some awesome backroads for you to take on! Just... don't plan on coming back through between October and March of any year, because then you'll have ice to contend with on top of the leaves and grass. Ride safe!
Dude just imagine riding with him and sitting in the back just enjoying something „high octane“... really happy for you two ✌️
Go to the east side of Charleston WV and ride the backroads following the river... best roads to bike through and lots of small coal mining towns with all the ambiance you could hope for.
Good job Josh.
I've been through exactly where you were about 40 times, and brother it got prettier every time.
Glad you made it safe & sound.
(and good job to your passenger.)
The stories and memories you have made on this trip are worth their weight in gold! My wife and I made the decision a couple of days before Sturgis to go up for the weekend. Left at 5:30 Saturday morning and came back home Sunday night😂bout 1300 miles round trip. . Not the smartest thing we’ve ever done but it was a ton of fun!
If and when you do this again, take I-40 through north Carolina and Tennessee.
If you thought west Virginia was nice you'll fall in love with I-40.
Imagine going all that way and you forgot to throw the ring into the volcano.
Watched part two, Asheville my childhood home town. Know exactly where you came out of the BRP into Asheville. And know the weather well lol. I enjoyed your adventure and thanks for taking me along. I posted in first video so I will keep this one short. I really really enjoyed these and your attitude. Didnt get to meet Jess when I came thru Ohio in August but hope to next summer when I head back. I have friends in Tampa as well so dont be surprised if this dude hits you up on day for a handshake and cold one! Stay safe and keep that energy and vibe flowing!
Grew up in SW Pennsylvania, loved the hills, tunnels and bridges! Been in Central Florida (east coast) for nearly 40 years now, and even though the terrain here is not nearly as scenic, I could never move back north and give up year round riding! Loved the video, looking forward to the next time you wake up and impulse ride another 3000 miles!
"On a wing and a prayer" yeah.. But that wing is a gold wing.
Some amazing beauty in W. Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and N. Carolina!
This video and the other one inspired me. Couldn’t take the bike, but finally got off two days in a row. Grabbed the truck and took off on a 16 hour trip to Tennessee. The road is freedom, and the bike is the key, but just getting out of here helped blow off some steam.
Man, love this !!! Making it my bucket list to go on a ride and have meal and a beer with you and HER two wheels. Love the channel
You should stay in Fayetteville WV and ride the Fayette county back roads. You won’t be disappointed!
I once did a trip from Fort Lauderdale up to Victoria BC, Those memories have stayed with me the last 30 + plus years , I'm happy to have those memories and I'm sure in years to come you will too Shadetree.
You’re a NUT! Did that ride in reverse ( New York to FL and back) but took 9 days and hunkered down in a hotel for Sally. Didn’t go on an interstate until I ran out of mountains in GA so I was REALLY happy to see you get off them. I couldn’t agree more. West VA is gods gift to motorcycles. And call me a h*mo but the only way I could explain the blue Ridge Pkwy was magical. Wish I knew you were out there. Would have kept my eyes open for that awesome purple goldwing. Keep up the great work!
Girl on the back needed some sort of rain suit to keep the wind from going through her clothing. Made the mistake of underpacking once on a bike trip and was freezing my ass off. Finally put on my rain suit and it made all the difference in the world.😬
Now do the exact same trip on road King Kong and compare lol great content man
Great video shadetree. Beautiful roads make you feel alive. Arabh0ney is awesome. This video helped me with depression. Glad you made it back safe. What an adventure
Very nice video trip.I live in the mountains of VA, on the border of WVA, and I have taken my '81 Goldwing Interstate on all the roads here, from I-81 & I-77, & on all the backroads to visit friends and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a great handling machine anywhere I ride it. I have done complete rebuilds of the suspension, carbs, cables, brakes, and other wear & tear items to keep the original handling and performance. Just sold it last week to make more room for the next project bike, and I will definitely miss it until I get a replacement.
I just wanted to say, great job exorcising that electrical gremlin man!
That is why I left Florida and moved to Tennessee it's just so beautiful here
Yes it is I love it here
I been a trucker for over 20 years. If the rig’s was pulled over coz of the rain and you kept going…. You got some balls brother. Keep up the good work and keep the rubber side down. Love the channel
I rode through the Blue Ridge Parkway on a 1950 Panhead EL with an S&S stroker kit in it about 15 years ago. Straight drags on a Pan in all those tunnels. COOL!
Those wiry beard hairs thrashing around in front of the camera give it the old school reel to reel feel. Just need some vintage war footage and we've got ourselves a creature double feature!
I’ve never watched a premier before when it actually premiered, cool. But not as cool as your ride. Nice.
Just catching up on some of this. I live near, and work in, Asheville. This is a place that is just absolutely amazing to ride. You came off the BRP on Town Mountain Rd. There are so many roads in the area just like that coming off the Parkway. Come back and spend some time, you will not regret it. Great video!
Glad to see the Buffalo Wing made it! I agree what a beautiful ride I definitely need to visit my cousin in North Carolina and my uncle in Tennessee after watching this!
I just hope that if I ever meet Shadetree Surgeon... he talks like this in person too.... WHAAATSS up DooooooDDLLLEEEEEE yoouuureeee PSYCHOOTICCC 🤣❤️
Jess & Josh in one Video... can YT get any better than this???
I know this video is a bit old but Josh man your personality is infectious. Can't get enough of your content. Keep it up brother.
I love that as your Chanel grows, you stay the same, no change in who you are. I am happy to be a part of this growth. Stay weird man, I love it!
