Tennessee is known as The Volunteer State, a nickname some claimed was earned during the War of 1812 because of the prominent role played by volunteer soldiers from Tennessee, especially during the Battle of New Orleans. Before the war of 1812, Tennesseans also helped in the fight for Texas Independence Following Davy Crockett down to San Antonio. They all died at the battle of the Alamo in 1836.

I had the headlight thing happen on my CBR. I was pulling out of my work parking lot in the middle of winter. As soon as I backed out of my spot the headlights (both hi and lo) quit but everything else worked. After some troubleshooting, I found the problem. Honda, in their infinite wisdom, routed the headlight wires through the start button to kill the headlights when you crank the bike. The wires broke their solder joints and it was apparently a common problem. I fixed it twice over the following year and it kept failing, so I bypassed it entirely and added a manual toggle switch (comes in handy to turn the lights off when I'm in the middle of working on my bike with the ignition turned on).
This year (2019) I took my 1986 Honda Shadow from Maryland to Sturgis for the yearly Sturgis meetup. I paid 1600$ for the motorcycle and it made it approximately 3000-4000 miles bringing me back home to where I started. Except for a 400$ pre trip inspection and fluid change I barely spent a dime on the bike. I don't know about Harley's but I'm confident that affordable motorcycles especially Hondas can take whatever you put them through.
Hey man. You probably won’t see this but whatever. Watching your videos is the reason I bought a bike. Started on a buell blast I bought for 1k. Got comfortable around the cagers and bought a Harley. Joined b.a.c.a bay bridges chapter and now I’m helping kids, because of your videos. Keep up the content, it really makes a difference and I’m the proof.

Sean, Sean, Sean. I can’t believe you didn’t do a walk around inspection on the bike before you left. You know, lights, turn signals, brake lights, tire air pressure, oil level etc. Oh well, experience is the best teacher!
Hey SRKcycles. I recently went on a Motorcycle trip. It was all good we'll, until my stator decided fry itself. I was left stranded over 300 miles from my destination. Couldn't get a tow to my destination, so I used what you said. Called up a shop and said that I was a traveler. And you know what?! It worked!!! They put me in front of the line and came ASAP to pick up my bike even offered to tow it to my destination. Thanks Sean you're a lifesaver. You're videos are some of the best.

Yes prayers are all way s good . Me and my family are going thur a bad situation right now and we need all the prayers we can get . That some one is doing us very wrong . It s the hardest thing we have had to go thur. Its over the courts giving these 2 little grils that we took in and had the grils for almost 3 years and they did not want to go back home with their corrupt parents . If you want to hear more just let me know . It hurts me and my family so much .
@@jrrains the judge ask the parents if they would let us be a part of the grils life s and the mother said yes . But it has been almost 5 month since we have seen them . This is not good for the grils . The parents should know that its not good to keep the grils from seeing us. They never get to go to church any more . We always took them to church with us . I have so many Christian friends that have told me that God has a plan for us and keep the faith . Knowing the kind of parents these grils have I do not belive that God wants the grils with them . We were always good to the parents to let them see and talk to the grils and now this is the way they are doing us . I donot see how they think this is right.
@@rickeybullington68 not that I'm hoping for it or anything but keep close tabs on the parents (social media or other means) why did they turn over custody of their kids for? Drugs? I only ask because I think you or someone could catch them doing something nefarious then file am emergency petition. They'll slip up at some point document all you can And pray about it.
Not a bike. But I put flashlights into the tail lights of my 82 dodge pick up to get home 400km after they just died. Bought a set of fog lights to use as headlights and wired quick lol. You are a true McGiver and I was laughing my ass off to see this. 20 years ago and you brought me right back. Thank you :)
Awesome trip I'm glad you made it Sean. Being out there on a bike after dark with no lights on a highway that's some scary stuff brother. I'm glad the man didn't pull you over and write you a big fat ticket. Take care of Sean that was an awesome video. And thank God for that Harley dealer for getting you back on the road Sean
Came here in a 'midlife' crisis wanting a bike...but wasn't expecting scriptures...the great engineer knows how to pull his children back...God bless you brother....thank you
Me and 2 of my buds were on a road trip in Ohio, and GPS was supposed to be taking us to our hotel. We got off the freeway and drove through a bad neighborhood. When the GPS said, “You’ve arrived at your destination”, we were at a cemetery at the end of a dead end street. 😳
Dude, you always have happy happenstances happen (rolls off the tounge nicely, that does) while on your trips. God definitely looks out for you, Sean. Love you guys! Hi from Texas!
I actually have family in Lancaster out in the country with the Amish folk. Maybe I'll stop buy next time I'm out there and you can sell me a bike to ride home on! God bless y'all.
Good observation. Watch a few speeches by the Pope and add up how many times he refers to God (hardly any). Everyone is afraid of appearing to be a religious nut. Even the Ayatollah never mentions Allah when talking to the international media. By contrast, the Hamas leader mentioned God 7 times in a 3-minute statement.
I took a 1600 mile trip from Seattle down to California to see the Red Wood trees from a bike this year. It was AMAZING. 5 days I will never forget. Get out there and do the big trips.
Please, I rode to Alaska from Georgia and back on a 100k Harley (1993, it turned 100K in Alaska), then in 2010 road the same Harley with a Watsonian Cambridge sidecar to Alaska and back again...the bike is in my Garage and still runs fine. Piece of flippin' cake.
I bought my old baby Myrtle new back in 1979, still my dayly drive ride. She's got about 650,000 miles on her. I strip her down & rebuild or replace parts every ten years or so. That's due this winter. In 40 years on my Iron head, I've had my breakdowns and rear flat tires, ect, but it's part of sharing your life with your bike. I hope to get 50 years out of her before I die, at almost 63, I need a rebuild on me, lets hope both of us make it to 2029. Nowdays, it's a young man's world. I'm just living in it. Peace. Strick.
Sean, I subscribed when I discovered your channel by chance on YT. I'm slowly catching up to all your Videos. I'm happy and proud I did. You are one of the most honest and generally good persons on the medium. I'm not religious, but your captions of the Bible are always on point. I wanted to say thanks for you being you, Brother. That's all.
I thought taping torches to your bike when lights die is standard for a true biker!??! Good job Sean! Practical, cheap and it works. Nothing wrong! God Bless
Too bad I didn't know about this trip when it happened...Sean rode right past me. I live exactly half way between Winchester, VA and Harrisonburg. Wayne Cycle Center, where he stopped for oil I used to go to all the time back when I had my Kawasaki Vulcans. Awesome to see!
Yeah, I could see checking crankcase oil just to make sure it didn't leak out of there too. But buying more oil it was obvious he didn't know they're two separate reservoirs.
Wanted to let you know that your scripture reading has touched more lives than you could ever imagine. Here in San Diego we love you and hope the Lord blesses you abundantly and eternal. Amen.
I doubt you'll see this cause this is a 4 year old video lol but I NEED you to know I've been binge watching your videos and your spirituality and Bible verses are really doing a lot for me. I need to pray more. I need to give thanks more. I cherish and appreciate everything all the time, but I need to give thanks more. I need to talk to God more. Thank you Sean.
Winchester Va .. I rode a 750 1973 Honda in March of 1988 From Kingston,Michigan to Wichester Va and then a week later back to Kingstaon Mich . My brother lived in Winchester and I went to visit... When I pulled into the garage at 1 am in Kingston Mich after riding nonstop and my hands were so cold I had to slide them off the ends of the grips before I could get off the bike ... on my way back to Mich I saw the welcome to Michigan sign and as I crossed in to Mich..it immediately began snowing .. and snowing ... I will never forget that trip.
Wrong war guys! The name came from guys volunteering to help the guys fight at the Alamo in Texas. The Tennessee guy's were headed up by Davy Crockett.
I live about 30 miles from Dahlonega,great little town! I have been to Frazier’s Harley many times,even back when it was called the cycle barn in a barn.Next time take a bike with lower miles and save yourself a lot of trouble. I have been riding since I was 17 and the best bike I ever owned was a 2001 Kawasaki Drifter! Great sound with Vance and Hines long shots ,beautiful bike and extremely reliable! I have had many bikes but this one was the best!
Smart move man! And the light trick always worked for our boys on Roadkill! Great work Sean! Great episode. Life's a journey. Not a destination. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Thankful to be a subscriber:)
I have 102,255 miles on my 2007 Ultra Classic. Had to fix minor front & rear lighting issues around 90,000 miles had to replace voltage regulator around 98,000 miles. This Spring (April 2020) I plan on attempting the Saddle Sore Challenger, 1000 miles in less than 24 hours, riding west from Denver through the mountains halfway into Utah and back. I have confidence in my Harley it feels strong in the mountains, I should get another 50K miles out of it before I rebuild the motor... Thank's for making it clear that a used bike isn't used up, and the value proposition ;-)
Thanks for sharing your road trip. My favorite part was when you meet the man that won the Dyna. Was it coincidence or Divine Province for that. Of all Harley Davidson dealerships, you took your motorcycle to where he works. The Good Lord is watching over you. Cheers from Austin Texas
Amen to your prayer. Every time I see you riding a bike encourage me to buy one. I stop riding a bike because my wife didn’t want to die, hehehe but now she wants to ride with me in a motorcycle. May God bless you brother. Keep up the good faith and keep on posting this great videos. From San Diego, Ca
When a dealership finds out your a traveler they give you special treatment, you got that right. CHA CHING. I had an 86 Wing, 136,000 mi, changed a stator out, and the usual wearable items, no problems. Cool ride, be safe out there.
I much rather be "bored" with my dependable 12' Yamaha Raider S that I bought new last year that I bring to the dealer to check every year before riding season that I usually just jump on and take off than a bike I have to fix to complete a ride, but to each their own. I much rather enjoy the exhaust sound, my playlist on Spotify in my helmet, the scenery, and the weather than worry about finding what's wrong, then finding the parts/shop to fix it so I can make it home, but to each there own. Ride safe
I love that you are a man of god. Motorcycles are in my blood. Your channel has gotten me back into them. I live in New Jersey but back in 2007 I lived in landisville pa out by your shop
You really are blessed by someone. You drove with oil leaking on your rear tire with no issues and just happened to meet somebody you gave a bike to so they could help you out of a jam.
Thank you so much for this channel. You inspire me and motivate me. I’ve been able to overcome depression and anxiety thank to you. I’ve been brought closer to God thanks to you and rekindled my love for motorcycles. Ever since I lost my close friend in a motorcycle accident September last year I haven’t been the same. That is until I found your channel. Again thank you. I’m saving up to buy a bike from you and get back on two wheels. Thanks again for being my inspiration and motivation.
Sorry to hear about your friend. But you may want to reconsider buying a bike from someone who doesnt even check his own lights before a long roadtrip. Sounds pretty irresponsible to me. Ride safe always!
Dude awesome to hear you visit GA, hope to get the chance to meet you sometime. Come hang at Brother Moto. Appreciate you being a witness for Christ and all the insight on bikes - looking forward to talking about business experience.
Not to put down folks who keep it local, but as one who takes long solo rides regularly two things: The Harley tourers can do 100k with no problem. I put 110k on my ‘05 Ultra Classic before I sold it and it ran perfectly and didn’t use oil or anything. Also, long rides are tons of adventure and while occasionally stressful (like finding a campground in unfamiliar places), but you get a sense of accomplishment from having put yourself out there and handling whatever comes up. Hope vids like this inspire folks to expand their horizons a bit.
Aside for the troubles, I’m super envious. I have always wanted to make a trip like that with my father (he used to ride when I was growing up, and I’m just now learning about bikes). I don’t know if we ever will, and that bothers me.
When I first met my wife, our first trip together was an impromptu two day ride through the Smokies on my 1996 Virago 1100. One of those magic moments when everything went so perfectly that we couldn't have planned it any better! We will remember that forever!
Don't understand why the big Viragos get no love. I've had a few. Maybe it's because they're too dependable, too quick, too comfortable, too long lasting, & just too good. Kinda takes the "adventure" out of having a bike I guess.
@@jackandblaze5956 I absolutely love my XV750. Looks great and goes well, easy to work on, handles brilliantly and just puts a smile on my face at any speed. Makes more power and torque than a 1200 panhead. That said I'd kill for a panhead, I love pretty much all bikes, especially V twins, and I'm desperate to get a nice old Harley
Video starts off with a Bible verse and the trip starts off with prayer. Awesome stuff! First video I've seen from this channel and you have my sub. Great video, made me want to get out on the road myself and tear up the road.
As of now im a student at MMI HD. Love your channel and you helped me make the call the go and fallow me dream thank you. right now saven up and working as a full time waiter just to get some WIND THEORPY i cant wait.. thnx you soooo much and keep it up.
Took an awesome 2,000 mile trip last fall from Maine to South Dakota. Many others have also taken trips, and you are correct - everyone should do it if at all possible. The only downside is that people might get tired of hearing the stories so often.
You need to stop by Knoxville Tennessee during a home football game... that should partially answer your question why Tennessee is the volunteer state. Go Vols!
I live in southeast Alabama 9 miles from the Georga state line and 90 miles from Florida in a tiny town. We have lots of beautiful country roads to ride on. Great road trip video.
Hey man I love your vids. And we are the volunteer state cause of the war of 1812. The nickname originated during the War of 1812, in which the volunteer soldiers from Tennessee, serving under Gen. Andrew Jackson, displayed marked valor in the Battle of New Orleans.
@@ZeroSkillAtGames The correct title is privateer. There were actually government licenses issued for privateers to attack the vessels of the enemy bringing in supplies.
How about we check the bike out to know that things actually work before we ride instead of depending on some mythical sky daddy to keep us safe from reality. Religious are like six year olds...
@@TheSoloAsylum Well when you consider the alternative that everything came from nothing and we evolved from single cell pond scum it really seems pretty reasonable. Especially when you consider Darwin himself said we should find thousands of intermediate species and we haven't found anything conclusive yet! But hey you do you... if I'm wrong then so what? If your wrong well have fun in hell for all of forever.
A few years ago I saw a video you posted about a 900 Ninja (one of my dream bikes) How great to find you again. Thanks for making the effort. God Bless..
Hi Sean just found the channel and spent the last 3 days watching everything 😂 Just a side note as to what you mentioned right at the end about dealer prices and although I do agree with you cost is still a massively prohibitive factor in owning a bike ( or any vehicle for that matter) I am in the UK and the cost for me personally is somewhat out of reach due to being a mature student, but seeing how you have resurrected so many cheep bikes ahs given me the inspiration to tackle a project over the summer in hope of finally getting my first bike Keep up the great video's Travis
As a 40-year trucker, let me recommend to you and all your fans a pre-trip inspection.
I did that and I believe the lights worked when I left

@@jrrains the judge ask the parents if they would let us be a part of the grils life s and the mother said yes . But it has been almost 5 month since we have seen them . This is not good for the grils . The parents should know that its not good to keep the grils from seeing us. They never get to go to church any more . We always took them to church with us . I have so many Christian friends that have told me that God has a plan for us and keep the faith . Knowing the kind of parents these grils have I do not belive that God wants the grils with them . We were always good to the parents to let them see and talk to the grils and now this is the way they are doing us . I donot see how they think this is right.
@@rickeybullington68 not that I'm hoping for it or anything but keep close tabs on the parents (social media or other means) why did they turn over custody of their kids for? Drugs? I only ask because I think you or someone could catch them doing something nefarious then file am emergency petition. They'll slip up at some point document all you can And pray about it.
Not a bike. But I put flashlights into the tail lights of my 82 dodge pick up to get home 400km after they just died. Bought a set of fog lights to use as headlights and wired quick lol. You are a true McGiver and I was laughing my ass off to see this. 20 years ago and you brought me right back. Thank you :)
Awesome trip I'm glad you made it Sean. Being out there on a bike after dark with no lights on a highway that's some scary stuff brother. I'm glad the man didn't pull you over and write you a big fat ticket. Take care of Sean that was an awesome video. And thank God for that Harley dealer for getting you back on the road Sean
This has been fun to watch. Becoming addicted to watching your videos!
Awesome we really appreciate that
Came here in a 'midlife' crisis wanting a bike...but wasn't expecting scriptures...the great engineer knows how to pull his children back...God bless you brother....thank you
If you have stopped riding a bike for a number of years, or worse, have never ridden a bike, please don't. For public safety.
@@kostis2849 really?
@@wilE6764 Sure. Doesn't it make sense? Tho it's easier to balance than a bicycle.
@@kostis2849 i had a Yamaha years ago..and wish i had another now..miss riding
@@wilE6764 Are Yamahas that expensive where you are?
Me and 2 of my buds were on a road trip in Ohio, and GPS was supposed to be taking us to our hotel. We got off the freeway and drove through a bad neighborhood. When the GPS said, “You’ve arrived at your destination”, we were at a cemetery at the end of a dead end street. 😳
🤣🤦🏻♂️
That '66 or '67 Bus was owned by a true VW enthusiast and driving it like it should be.
Dude, you always have happy happenstances happen (rolls off the tounge nicely, that does) while on your trips. God definitely looks out for you, Sean. Love you guys! Hi from Texas!
Ah Texas my birth state
I actually have family in Lancaster out in the country with the Amish folk. Maybe I'll stop buy next time I'm out there and you can sell me a bike to ride home on! God bless y'all.
Yep, I’m a Native Texan too. 👍👍❤️
Thank you for starting your trip with prayer. Most folks seem to be embarrassed to speak of Jesus publicly.
Good observation.
Watch a few speeches by the Pope and add up how many times he refers to God (hardly any).
Everyone is afraid of appearing to be a religious nut.
Even the Ayatollah never mentions Allah when talking to the international media.
By contrast, the Hamas leader mentioned God 7 times in a 3-minute statement.
They get embarrassed that is h hilarious
You know this video was actually very fun and entertaining to watch. You should do more videos like this of your long distance motorcycle trips 🤙
The lights are hilarious. Whatever works... Lol lesson learned.. better preperation next time fuses, spare bulbs... GoPro battery etc.
Yeah. I don't know why he didn't check the fuses and bulbs, then buy some at the truck stop.
@@RayfordRaySiegel i figure he spent way more on lights then a pack of fuses....
@@wayneslawncare9274,
I carried fuses in my jacket, and extra 1157 bulbs in my bags.
I took a 1600 mile trip from Seattle down to California to see the Red Wood trees from a bike this year. It was AMAZING. 5 days I will never forget. Get out there and do the big trips.
Please, I rode to Alaska from Georgia and back on a 100k Harley (1993, it turned 100K in Alaska), then in 2010 road the same Harley with a Watsonian Cambridge sidecar to Alaska and back again...the bike is in my Garage and still runs fine. Piece of flippin' cake.
I bought my old baby Myrtle new back in 1979, still my dayly drive ride. She's got about 650,000 miles on her. I strip her down & rebuild or replace parts every ten years or so. That's due this winter. In 40 years on my Iron head, I've had my breakdowns and rear flat tires, ect, but it's part of sharing your life with your bike. I hope to get 50 years out of her before I die, at almost 63, I need a rebuild on me, lets hope both of us make it to 2029. Nowdays, it's a young man's world. I'm just living in it. Peace. Strick.
Road trips are always an adventure and i would say riding at night with flash lights taped onto the bike definitely fits into the adventure catagory.
Sean, I subscribed when I discovered your channel by chance on YT. I'm slowly catching up to all your Videos. I'm happy and proud I did. You are one of the most honest and generally good persons on the medium. I'm not religious, but your captions of the Bible are always on point. I wanted to say thanks for you being you, Brother. That's all.
My mom was born and raised in Georgia, always will have a soft spot for Georgia
I thought taping torches to your bike when lights die is standard for a true biker!??! Good job Sean! Practical, cheap and it works. Nothing wrong! God Bless
I've always had a great experience with Harley service departments. Reasonable prices and fast service
Sarcasm at its best
Too bad I didn't know about this trip when it happened...Sean rode right past me. I live exactly half way between Winchester, VA and Harrisonburg. Wayne Cycle Center, where he stopped for oil I used to go to all the time back when I had my Kawasaki Vulcans. Awesome to see!
oil leaking out of primary and than he checks the engine oil lol good thing he sells bikes and doesn't fix them
k bee I was thinking the same lol
Ya I got that.....
always a good idea to check engine oil... im sure if he doesnt keep fuses, he doesnt have torx sockets to check the primary oil
so what's wrong with checking engine oil? If I was in his place I would have checked tranny oil as well
Yeah, I could see checking crankcase oil just to make sure it didn't leak out of there too. But buying more oil it was obvious he didn't know they're two separate reservoirs.
That was cool that you prayed my dad would pull over and we would do the same thing. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Wanted to let you know that your scripture reading has touched more lives than you could ever imagine. Here in San Diego we love you and hope the Lord blesses you abundantly and eternal. Amen.
Noting like Georgia! Born and raised in this great state and the bike riding is great year-round.
I doubt you'll see this cause this is a 4 year old video lol but I NEED you to know I've been binge watching your videos and your spirituality and Bible verses are really doing a lot for me. I need to pray more. I need to give thanks more. I cherish and appreciate everything all the time, but I need to give thanks more. I need to talk to God more. Thank you Sean.
Winchester Va .. I rode a 750 1973 Honda in March of 1988 From Kingston,Michigan to Wichester Va and then a week later back to Kingstaon Mich . My brother lived in Winchester and I went to visit... When I pulled into the garage at 1 am in Kingston Mich after riding nonstop and my hands were so cold I had to slide them off the ends of the grips before I could get off the bike ... on my way back to Mich I saw the welcome to Michigan sign and as I crossed in to Mich..it immediately began snowing .. and snowing ... I will never forget that trip.
Tennessee volunteered the most during the war as far as soldiers and supplies.
So Tennessee has the biggest traitors, nice!
@@i-vlog1994 we we’re all treasonous traitors to Great Britain get off your pedestal
@@ApkStreetGlide Who cares about Great Britain.
Wrong war guys! The name came from guys volunteering to help the guys fight at the Alamo in Texas. The Tennessee guy's were headed up by Davy Crockett.
@@1980bwc finally someone with brain cells.
I live about 30 miles from Dahlonega,great little town! I have been to Frazier’s Harley many times,even back when it was called the cycle barn in a barn.Next time take a bike with lower miles and save yourself a lot of trouble. I have been riding since I was 17 and the best bike I ever owned was a 2001 Kawasaki Drifter! Great sound with Vance and Hines long shots ,beautiful bike and extremely reliable! I have had many bikes but this one was the best!
Thanks my friend for this channel.
Thank you for watching
It’s good to be good in life Sean what comes around goes around👍🏻✨
Smart move man! And the light trick always worked for our boys on Roadkill! Great work Sean! Great episode. Life's a journey. Not a destination. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Thankful to be a subscriber:)
I have 102,255 miles on my 2007 Ultra Classic. Had to fix minor front & rear lighting issues around 90,000 miles had to replace voltage regulator around 98,000 miles. This Spring (April 2020) I plan on attempting the Saddle Sore Challenger, 1000 miles in less than 24 hours, riding west from Denver through the mountains halfway into Utah and back. I have confidence in my Harley it feels strong in the mountains, I should get another 50K miles out of it before I rebuild the motor...
Thank's for making it clear that a used bike isn't used up, and the value proposition ;-)
Thanks for sharing your road trip. My favorite part was when you meet the man that won the Dyna. Was it coincidence or Divine Province for that. Of all Harley Davidson dealerships, you took your motorcycle to where he works. The Good Lord is watching over you. Cheers from Austin Texas
Amen to your prayer. Every time I see you riding a bike encourage me to buy one. I stop riding a bike because my wife didn’t want to die, hehehe but now she wants to ride with me in a motorcycle.
May God bless you brother. Keep up the good faith and keep on posting this great videos.
From San Diego, Ca
When a dealership finds out your a traveler they give you special treatment, you got that right. CHA CHING. I had an 86 Wing, 136,000 mi, changed a stator out, and the usual wearable items, no problems. Cool ride, be safe out there.
2:45 -> Refreshing to hear someone do this on UA-cam. Great vid!
Love these videos. How boring it would be on a perfect new bike.
So boring
So boring being able to ride whenever
I much rather be "bored" with my dependable 12' Yamaha Raider S that I bought new last year that I bring to the dealer to check every year before riding season that I usually just jump on and take off than a bike I have to fix to complete a ride, but to each their own. I much rather enjoy the exhaust sound, my playlist on Spotify in my helmet, the scenery, and the weather than worry about finding what's wrong, then finding the parts/shop to fix it so I can make it home, but to each there own. Ride safe
But it does make for great UA-cam content. ;)
@@RossMalagarie, I feel the same when I decide to ride my 09 raider
I did the cross country trip 2 years ago . I went from my home of Hamilton, Ontario to Alamosa, Colorado A trip I will never forget
Small world stopping at Frazier's HD where you gave the guy the Harley.
I love that you are a man of god. Motorcycles are in my blood. Your channel has gotten me back into them. I live in New Jersey but back in 2007 I lived in landisville pa out by your shop
Glad to hear it
Beautiful Road King ! Just goes to show Harley Davidson is a good bike when maintained.
Did you miss the oil leak?
Marco deRossi that can happen on anything... most of the time a motorcycle is junk a long time before a hundred thousand miles lol
@@jimmyjam3172 or the lights dying on him and endangering his life?
I love watching these kinds of videos from you you have to do these more
"Shawn?"
"dad?"
that killed me xD
16:47
Sometimes I say that when I look in the mirror.
You really are blessed by someone. You drove with oil leaking on your rear tire with no issues and just happened to meet somebody you gave a bike to so they could help you out of a jam.
Thank you so much for this channel. You inspire me and motivate me. I’ve been able to overcome depression and anxiety thank to you. I’ve been brought closer to God thanks to you and rekindled my love for motorcycles. Ever since I lost my close friend in a motorcycle accident September last year I haven’t been the same. That is until I found your channel. Again thank you. I’m saving up to buy a bike from you and get back on two wheels. Thanks again for being my inspiration and motivation.
Sorry to hear about your friend. But you may want to reconsider buying a bike from someone who doesnt even check his own lights before a long roadtrip. Sounds pretty irresponsible to me. Ride safe always!
Love your faith brother. What an example you are to me. Keep it up.
Dude awesome to hear you visit GA, hope to get the chance to meet you sometime. Come hang at Brother Moto. Appreciate you being a witness for Christ and all the insight on bikes - looking forward to talking about business experience.
Not to put down folks who keep it local, but as one who takes long solo rides regularly two things:
The Harley tourers can do 100k with no problem. I put 110k on my ‘05 Ultra Classic before I sold it and it ran perfectly and didn’t use oil or anything. Also, long rides are tons of adventure and while occasionally stressful (like finding a campground in unfamiliar places), but you get a sense of accomplishment from having put yourself out there and handling whatever comes up. Hope vids like this inspire folks to expand their horizons a bit.
Aside for the troubles, I’m super envious. I have always wanted to make a trip like that with my father (he used to ride when I was growing up, and I’m just now learning about bikes). I don’t know if we ever will, and that bothers me.
When I first met my wife, our first trip together was an impromptu two day ride through the Smokies on my 1996 Virago 1100. One of those magic moments when everything went so perfectly that we couldn't have planned it any better! We will remember that forever!
Don't understand why the big Viragos get no love. I've had a few. Maybe it's because they're too dependable, too quick, too comfortable, too long lasting, & just too good. Kinda takes the "adventure" out of having a bike I guess.
@@jackandblaze5956 I absolutely love my XV750. Looks great and goes well, easy to work on, handles brilliantly and just puts a smile on my face at any speed. Makes more power and torque than a 1200 panhead. That said I'd kill for a panhead, I love pretty much all bikes, especially V twins, and I'm desperate to get a nice old Harley
Good video. Just rode my 08 Ultra Classic from Jacksonville, Fl to San Diego, Ca and it has 94k on it. Keep riding!!
Heck yeah
How did that trip from jax go? I live in lake city.
It was intense haha. Only stopped for gas and once in Sonora, TX to sleep for a few hours. I was blessed with good weather though
I know Frazier's really well. It is awesome you were there. Great job on all your vids.
Video starts off with a Bible verse and the trip starts off with prayer. Awesome stuff! First video I've seen from this channel and you have my sub. Great video, made me want to get out on the road myself and tear up the road.
Hey thanks
As of now im a student at MMI HD. Love your channel and you helped me make the call the go and fallow me dream thank you. right now saven up and working as a full time waiter just to get some WIND THEORPY i cant wait.. thnx you soooo much and keep it up.
Davey Crockett and the TN Volunteers gave their all to defend the Alamo....
Took an awesome 2,000 mile trip last fall from Maine to South Dakota. Many others have also taken trips, and you are correct - everyone should do it if at all possible. The only downside is that people might get tired of hearing the stories so often.
"get used to it, woman." :-)
Ye Wilde Ryder 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤟
Brother this video makes me smile every time I watch it. I appreciate you sharing this trip with us!
You need to stop by Knoxville Tennessee during a home football game... that should partially answer your question why Tennessee is the volunteer state. Go Vols!
I live in southeast Alabama 9 miles from the Georga state line and 90 miles from Florida in a tiny town. We have lots of beautiful country roads to ride on. Great road trip video.
Hey man I love your vids. And we are the volunteer state cause of the war of 1812. The nickname originated during the War of 1812, in which the volunteer soldiers from Tennessee, serving under Gen. Andrew Jackson, displayed marked valor in the Battle of New Orleans.
I'm a decendant of a Legal pirate of the War of 1812 :) Love the knowledge.
Thanks for the info. That’s awesome I knew there was a good reason for it
@@ZeroSkillAtGames The correct title is privateer. There were actually government licenses issued for privateers to attack the vessels of the enemy bringing in supplies.
Stretch Man ty for the clarification
Riding through the mountains must have been awesome. Looking forward to doing that sometime soon!!. wicked video guys
Next time this happens just treat it like a Panhead and have extra quarts of oil in the saddlebags. Add oil when necessary!
Just set up a drip transfusion.
Ears pricked when he said Winchester, VA. I never hear my home valley mentioned online. Makes me happy.
My church has a saying. We sat. Pray First Then Ride. Feel free to adopt that for you and your channel.
How about we check the bike out to know that things actually work before we ride instead of depending on some mythical sky daddy to keep us safe from reality. Religious are like six year olds...
@@TheSoloAsylum Well when you consider the alternative that everything came from nothing and we evolved from single cell pond scum it really seems pretty reasonable. Especially when you consider Darwin himself said we should find thousands of intermediate species and we haven't found anything conclusive yet! But hey you do you... if I'm wrong then so what? If your wrong well have fun in hell for all of forever.
krp 2793 yes.
A few years ago I saw a video you posted about a 900 Ninja (one of my dream bikes) How great to find you again. Thanks for making the effort. God Bless..
Thought he was gonna use the flashlight to figure out what was wrong with the bike. That was amazing!
Hi Sean just found the channel and spent the last 3 days watching everything 😂
Just a side note as to what you mentioned right at the end about dealer prices and although I do agree with you cost is still a massively prohibitive factor in owning a bike ( or any vehicle for that matter) I am in the UK and the cost for me personally is somewhat out of reach due to being a mature student, but seeing how you have resurrected so many cheep bikes ahs given me the inspiration to tackle a project over the summer in hope of finally getting my first bike
Keep up the great video's
Travis
no I don't tape lights , I put a damn fuse in like your supposed to
Like your what?
Your prayer is almost word for word the prayer i say when I ride. God bless and stay safe!
