So glad I found this channel. This is motorcycling at its finest! Not a fancy touring bike that blocks the wind and the whole purpose behind riding. You two, the bike, and the open road. No better adventure and bike trip!
I don't know. Just something about watching real adventure videos is far more entertaining than a blockbuster Hollywood film! And you guys make some very stylish nostalgic videos. Simply awesome!
You have the best bike right there to learn when you make parts your making it yours don’t be afraid there lots of help out there great vid guys really like the real life stuff I’ve been on those Rhodes they never get boring
Great video. Sure hope you two keep making these super good stories. These bring back a lot of memories of 50 years on two wheels. Best times of our lives for sure. By the way, I’ve owned several Harley’s over the years including 3 Twin Cams. Still have my ‘96 Evo. Trust me, the Evo is the best engine Harley has ever offered. So easy to work on even if you’re not a trained mechanic. Lots of how to videos out there. Have you ever been to the U.P. of Michigan? Lake Superior has endless miles of lonely beautiful beach’s. Safe travels.
Well done! I took your advice and headed for Beaver Lake Campground, but ended up driving right past it (thought it was farther down the road). I found a place called Boneparte Lake Resort, which definitely wasn't stealth style camping, but a cool spot nonetheless. I also cruised on over to Bodie, which is a great, but brief, stop. Did the North Cascades Loop, which I thought would take longer than it did (only took two nights, partly because I came back on I-90 instead of HWY2). Now I have more time, so I think I'm off in the direction of Forks. So much awesome terrain in Washington - I was in the mountains, desert and the plains all in a day. Thanks again for the tip and ride on.
Hearing about your trip makes me want to go back to that area and explore Bodie and other places we did not get to see. I am going to look up Boneparte Lake Resort. Sometimes resorts are just what is needed after a long ride. Enjoy the ride and thanks for the update!!!
Just saw your channel this morning . I like the camping and your bike. You two remind me of me and my wife 40 years ago when we were dating and first married. I had a stripped down ‘76 FLH set up a lot like your bike. At 64 I’m still riding and camping. I’ve been doing it too long to quit.
Im 70 and still ride and boonie camp my wife will go only if motels are there thats ok when you want comfort. Ride safe i also ride an 1990 evo softail great bike
With the angle of the bike you get less indoor space on the high side, might work if we had just one person but with two we need as much room as we can get haha. Thanks for the input though, we appreciate it. And thanks for watching!
Calen, I appreciate that you do so much work on your own ride. My first bike was the same, including making my own sissy bar! I have to ride six hours to the Ozarks to ride in scenery that is more than simply cornfields. So, I'm corn-field green with envy of those of you in the Great Northwest....ahhhh and cold, clear water, too.
1999-2000 Evos had bad main bearings. No recall. Harley only agreed to fix at its expense if they failed. Mine did in Pinedale, WY. I limped the Road King to Rock Springs where I had to buy a new bike to return to my home in Oklahoma. Dealer said it would be 2 weeks to repair because of Sturgis traffic. Check your bikes history. Check your bike’s history. If your main bearings have not yet failed, keep this in mind as you travel. God be with you both. Your videos are superb. Thanks.
I've been waiting for this video for a while. I'm glad you let us know more about your beautiful ride. I love seeing all the places you get to ride in our state. I'd love to get together and ride to camp before the dreaded winter season. Keep them coming and ill keep watching.
I think of those Evos as the end of a long line stretching back to the first Knucklehead in 1936. 1948 came the Panhead and then the Shovelheads. The Evos share that single cam technology. Your bike is the last year before the Twin Cam came along. I had a '91 Heritage, it was a great bike. Maybe I should have kept it... At any rate, thanks for the great video. Good job gearing up in the leathers with good boots and gloves.
Beautiful Areas you visited. Thanks for the info on your bike. Pretty cool. Great that you can do some of your own maintenance; adjustments, customizations. No mechanical ability in my hands. Love the cool rivers and mountain scenery. Awesome video again. Safe travels.
Thanks a lot Paul. It took me a while to learn some mechanical stuff but it has helped that my brother is a mechanic and someone who I can bounce stuff of in that regard. Thanks a lot for watching! Cheers!
@@joymachinetheshow Yes, I hear your brother is a great mechanic; good one to learn from. Your videos are great to watch. I got to get watching the next one soon. I am a little behind. For some reason I am not getting or missing notifications when your videos are out. Haven't figured it our yet. No biggie; I find them using the old fashioned search method. LOL.
@@paulmatthews564 Thanks Paul! hmm i'm not sure why that is, maybe I dont have the vids set up right for notifications or something, I will see while posting the next one if their is a way I can ensure notifications on my end.
@@joymachinetheshow I mostly use my Mac for watching videos; doing emails and other things that I can see easier with. I find the Phone harder to watch; especially when I don't have my glasses on. I am trying to check to see if I missed some setting for notifications as I watch the videos through safari n the Mac. Also logged into UA-cam on my phone to see if that helps with notifications.
Good day to you! I am a HONDA Cross Cub senior rider from Japan. Enjoying camping and touring and upload video. This is so nice adventure video! Awesome! Have a nice day my friend!
Очень красивая природа и дороги! Отличное путешествие! После просмотра видео появилось сильное желание сесть на харлей и уехать на несколько дней) Спасибо за видео
Love the introduction to your ride. I’ve been very curious to know more about it I’m considering a evo softtail classic myself......also for the love of god get a fishing rod!...every episode I’ve seen so far one of the other of you has mentioned it!
We kept trying to get one but they were always out of stock haha - we will definitely have one this next season though! The evo softtail has been a really great bike for us for sure. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoying the series. Note you switch between a self standing tent and the lean too bike tent (Able Brown?) I'd be interested in your thoughts on both. All the best!
Thanks a lot Mathew, glad to hear it. The self standing tent is made by a brand called Poler. It seems to me high quality, doesn't get wet around the edges or anything, has high quality tent poles, and is very easy/quick to set up. However, it does not pack nearly as small as the Abel Brown so it is pretty well impossible to bring on a long motorcycle trip while riding two-up on the bike we have. For shorter trips the Poler is great. The Abel Brown packs nice and small for motorcycling and is great for longer trips or anytime you want to save space. It does not take up much room in a side bag. Set up is easy, fits two people romantically (lol) with room to spare for some valuables. Does get damp from condensation on the inside at times, depending on the weather. I hope this helps some. Cheers.
Just found your channel. Love watching you two. I do similar adventures in Europe. Love riding in the USA. Love the music where can I find Daniel Kehlers music ?
Yeah this is something that can be a problem. Usually in established campsites they won't let you bring bike off the parking spot in Washington so we bring a different tent for those but for dispersed camping this one is great for us. Its pretty tight with two people but does feel cozy!

So true Floyd, lots of resources out there. Thanks for checking out the video!!
Very cool to see you guys riding and camping. This is how motorcycle camping should be.
Just on point for motocamping content, folks! You're nailing it.
Keep it up. Ride safe!
Thanks Jonathan, really appreciate hearing that! Cheers!
It’s so cool 2 See you kids again. No place like the northwest. Thank you for the video.
So fantastic, this is how biking 🏍was in the 70s
Appreciate that thanks!

Another great over night camp video ! You have a nice Harley and a nice Lady 👌
Thanks very much David!!!
Love the bike. Again just beautiful scenery in your area.
Thanks a lot!! Yeah, we sure do like it here so far.
Very kind with your neighbors. Nice video
Thank you Alessandro!!

Hey thanks very much, we appreciate the kind words. Cheers!
@@joymachinetheshow sláinte!
Living the dream !! Smart to use that coaster under your side stand. Waking up at night burried under your own bike while sleeping is not so funny
Haha our thoughts exactly!

Im 70 and still ride and boonie camp my wife will go only if motels are there thats ok when you want comfort. Ride safe i also ride an 1990 evo softail great bike
Just a tip! Camp off the high side of the bike! It’ll keep rain water and dew from dripping and running into your tent/camp!
With the angle of the bike you get less indoor space on the high side, might work if we had just one person but with two we need as much room as we can get haha. Thanks for the input though, we appreciate it. And thanks for watching!

Ahhhh, where the Foss meets the South Fork Sky. Love your adventures, been to many of those spots!
Oh awesome - yeah there are some great spots out there!
What amazing me they are young and smart , how many young adults u see nowadays use a map lol , good video's love the evos
Thanks Kevin, haha far too kind. Thanks a lot for watching the videos!

Great vid, I need to learn to make it more simple for camping. Have a 22 road glide. Love to get an evo for a second bike.
Yeah the Evo is great for camping trips for sure!
Great bike Great couple .
Thanks so much for watching!
Great vids loving the vib. Can I ask one thing? Can you feed your leather.Boots and jackets, please.
Thanks for watching! boots and jacket were bought used so not sure where you can buy.
I Just picked up my first Harley 🤙🏼
Congrats James, what model did ya get? Enjoy!!
Wonderful
Thanks mom!
A Walmart got a collapsible fishing rod it claps so download it'll fit right in your Saddleback I love it
Noted - we will have to pick one up for next season!
Nice ✌️
Just found your channel. Love watching you two. I do similar adventures in Europe. Love riding in the USA. Love the music where can I find Daniel Kehlers music ?
We have the link to his channel in newer videos in the description, thanks!
Cool young people...
how do yall like that tent with sleeping two? ive been looking at it but im not sure I will always be able to put the bike on the tent pad
Yeah this is something that can be a problem. Usually in established campsites they won't let you bring bike off the parking spot in Washington so we bring a different tent for those but for dispersed camping this one is great for us. Its pretty tight with two people but does feel cozy!
💯
Thank You!
How’s sleeping in the able brown tent? I have looked into for myself and the gf, but the inside 80x42 seems to be really small
Haha it is definitely pretty close quarters, no problem for a single but with two people its pushing it. Love how small it packs though!
trip amazing bro
greetings from indonesia
Thanks for watching!
You sure do have better scenery out there than Ohio.
One neighbor is better than many of them 😂!
Is that a able brown tent ⛺️, which model?
Haha totally! It is Abel brown but an older one, maybe 5 years old now.
@@joymachinetheshow same with mine, old..
Bike name pls❤❤
