Thank you Chris! I've been riding over 40 years (I'm 47) and have over 600'000 miles on 2 wheels and counting. Riding bikes has been one of the best parts of my life.
@@christophermichaels Chris...as you can tell...you have tons of youtube fans here...and im one of them. Unlike them i lived in Athens GA from 1999 to 2006. I moved up to play music full time and tour as often as i could. Do you play music at all? Just curious! Thanks for another great video brothah!
I think my favourite part of the whole story is the awesome folks who offered him shelter or help fixing the bike that's some true good human spirit in action there
I love this mans stories. He reminds me of me ive never smoked a cigaret or even drank a beer but transported a kilo of cocaine in my truck un knowingly just trying to help someone. I always get myself stuck in odd situations i have nothing to do with.
Nice, I just got a 84 vt700c for 120$. She’s dirty dirty and needs everything but a new motor and plastics/metal trim type stuff. I look forward to working on her for a while and then maybe gaining my own worthy story ❤ thanks guys! Crew and cast!
"I know it's anticlimactic, but it's a drug deal in a ghost town." I don't know about anybody else, but you're a true story teller, I'd listen to you read a phone book, and it'd still be captivating.
@@somenygaard embellished or not, it's just a story. A good one. Did you hate all the bedtime stories as a kid because they weren't real? What about movies and TV? Only watching documentaries? It's entertainment, take it for face value if you enjoyed it and move on about your day.
@@iamthecheese2737 It’s being told as a true story and that’s what makes the stories told on this channel so entertaining, for me, there is a difference between something like this and a children’s “bedtime story”. I didn’t lie to my kids about Santa either.
Hi fellas. David, I really appreciate you believing in me and Some, I can assure you that all of my stories are all true. If I was making them up I'd make myself sound a little cooler rather than always getting chased or breaking down or having my car trashed or my wife at the time being mad at me for putting us in some dangerous situation. I promise that these stories all happend the way I told 'em,. I've been fortunate to have lived 47 years of a very exciting life. Thanks for watching!
now that Matt Farah has finally showed up, I think its time for me to update the list of Automotive UA-camrs and personalities who should come to VinWiki soon 1.Goonzquad 2.B is For Build 3.Cleetus McFarland 4.Samcrac 5.Emelia Hartford 6.Edd China 7.Doug DeMuro (he appeared on Ed’s 100th story) 8.Richard Rawlings & Dennis Colins (former cannonball record holder) 9. Rich Rebuilds 10. Overhaulin cast member 11. Finnegan and Frieburger 12. Andre from TFL 13. Pimp My Ride cast or someone whos been pimped. 14. Larry Kosilla 15. Hoonigans cast 16. Mat Watson & Alex Kersten 17. The Straight Pipes
Really Richard Rawlings? Buddy agreed to a competition with roadkill where he was gonna drove and the car was a stock chassis and he comes with a full tube frame chassis car and didnt even drive🙄😂
It's always a great day when a new story from Christopher shows up. Not sure why but Doug got me into this channel and Chris has kept me entertained. Just such a chill dude with some wild stories. Sorry Ed. You have some great stories and always love listen to you but you just can't hold a candle to Christopher.
@@willbennett7508 why? He reminds me of that character from In living Color that Damon Wayans played the convict that uses big words incorrectly. He parks cars, c'mon it's not like he's working on the Manhattan project.
Hell man, I put 110,000 on a 2008 GSX-R 750 in a year, and I live in the Midwest. I bought it brand new and rode it every day, rain, shine, and even snow a couple of times. Dirt roads? Hell yeah, I took that thing everywhere, didn't even own a car, that was it, and without fail, every weekend I took off on it all weekend and put at least 1000-1500 miles on it every weekend not to mention my normal use during the week. I'd probably still have it except it got stolen and I kinda took it as my sign that it was time to give up riding.
Id have to say that Ed is my favorite to hear stories from just because of his voice, Chris is in second. Hes always hot some crazy interesting stories. Rabbit is third for me.
His little Cannonball reminded me of an experience I had last spring. I live east of San Diego and decided to take a trip up the cost in my old rusty af Buick Lesabre. About a week into the trip I woke up in Seattle with no money, I decided to non-stop drive all the way down the west coast. I did it in about 18hrs.
That gravel road they went up, must've been Titus Canyon road, its about a mile away from the street with the decaying stone buildings, there are a few small ghost towns like Leadfield out there, which is actually where the picture of the metal shack was probably from, I just did a drive through that road and further down theres a super cool slot canyon, cool how its in a VinWiki Story now
He is a great story teller and has a whole lot of them! I am a little impressed with how often he seems to have walked very close to BIG trouble, but still have never really got burned. But yeah I love Chris' videos
Thanks Donjear. I've certainly had my share of bad luck but those aren't very good stories. I do consider myself fortunate to have had so many close calls and escaped unscathed. I've had people tell me that I must have a higher purpose. I'm still looking for that purpose and maybe its just telling the stories of these experiences to y'all. If that's the case, extra thanks for watching!
Awesome video VINWIKI thank you! This man always has some good ones! As a blessed life long biker certainly seen and experienced my share but a drug deal in a ghost town..... tops! Feels like it could be an episode of scooby for sure! 🤘TEXAS!!!
As soon as I saw the title I just knew it was going to be this guy 😂
Frs i love this guy💀
For real bro this guy is Amazing
Fr 😂
My absolute favorite vinwiki guest
Came to the comments to say the same!
Saw the title, IMMEDIATELY knew it was Chris...
Same!
Same. I was ready
He seems to get into a ton of drug situations for someone that supposably never partakes
Same!
Lmao me too
“You’re going to a drug deal in a ghost town?” “Like is this an episode of Scooby Doo?” 🧐😂😭
Lol Scooby and Eldoopo
*Your future ex-wife's lawyer thanks you for guaranteeing she will get the kids and house in the divorce.*
@@1nvisible1 It wasn’t that bad
I think it's the accent mixed with the incredulity that makes that line so great :)
@@J4ygotskrilla *Bump it up in five years. 5:1 he's divorced and this video was presented during the dissolution.*
For a guy who doesn't partake, he sure has a lot of drug stories
I don't partake either but I have a couple crazy stories somewhat like this. No native americans or ghost towns but otherwise similar.
Right?!? 🤔🤣
cause he wants to hang with the fun crowd , most folks are scared to , nobody cares if you partake or not as long as you're genuine
Oh he doesn't partake - this guy drove the length of California to intercept a group that had his "camping stove and first aid kit". Right . . .
Ever heard of don't get high on your own supply?
how is nobody mentioning the fact that this guy put 150,000 miles on a motorcycle? that's some serious dedication man
Thank you Chris! I've been riding over 40 years (I'm 47) and have over 600'000 miles on 2 wheels and counting. Riding bikes has been one of the best parts of my life.

this guy "im not into drugs" also this guy "i have 100s of drug stories"
If he's telling the truth its because he's an artist and those circles get wild
@@GetOffMyLog true, about like actors, always around that stuff so always have good stories
I mean he's from GA so I don't doubt it
By far one of the best story tellers on VinWiki.
I see the video's title and instantly think Christopher. Yup I was right...
Chris has some incredible stories. Makes me wanna be more adventurous
"Diamond's Driveshaft Service" :rofl:
Thank you for noticing mamarine! That shirt is on sale in the Vinwiki store if you'd like one of the first run! Thanks for watching!
store.vinwiki.com/products/diamonds-driveshaft-service-tee?variant=37814605316275
I noticed it too! One of the best shirts anyone can have.
@@christophermichaels Can't wait to grab one of these
Ahahahahaha that shirt is great. I saw the Scout story video about Diamond before this video and cracked up at your shirt.
This is the sequel to Wild Hogs that Disney is too much of a wimp to release.
Lmfao
You know it's this guy just by the titles. And you're never disappointed.
Man Chris has the BEST stories. He's the kinda guy you want to just sit down and have a beer with and listen to all of them.
I swear these titles seem like clickbait but its always true or even toned down
Chris is a awesome story teller.
Episode 1 of our Car Trek Christmas special released yesterday. Episode 2 comes out at noon Eastern today on Tavarish's channel.
Bett 👀
Boring....
Yup, I knew who this was the minute I saw it.
"I had gone from ventilation to Oven Mitt." 😂🤣😂
So pumped for another one of his stories! My favorite guest by far 🙏🏽
Saw the title, “Hey it’s going to be a Christopher story!”
I think my favourite part of the whole story is the awesome folks who offered him shelter or help fixing the bike that's some true good human spirit in action there
Last time i was this early, Tavarish thought purchasing burnt cars was a good idea
He hasn’t changed his mind...so that doesn’t say much
Me: Reads video title - "Oh hell yeah, it's got to be a Christopher video!"
this guys the most entertaining dude ever!!
Let’s goo another Christopher episode
I love this mans stories. He reminds me of me ive never smoked a cigaret or even drank a beer but transported a kilo of cocaine in my truck un knowingly just trying to help someone. I always get myself stuck in odd situations i have nothing to do with.

Chris' stories are always my favorite. He should write a book about all his adventures
been hoping for another listen into the Saga of Christopher Michaels! Thank you!
Ed is the reason I started watching vinwiki videos, but Chris is one of the greatest storytellers around.
Man I didn't even have to start the video to know who's story this was gonna be 😂 this guy is a freaking legend!
Can a series come to form like: "Adventure time with Chris"
Christopher has had such great stories and looove the way he tells them
"I know it's anticlimactic, but it's a drug deal in a ghost town."
I don't know about anybody else, but you're a true story teller, I'd listen to you read a phone book, and it'd still be captivating.
He sure can tell a story, they all seem highly embellished to me.

Always love a story from Chris!
"Diamond's driveshaft service" you either know or you don't.

I only watch certain vinwiki stories. Chris has some of the best ones I ever heard
Saw the picture of Chris on the Motorcycle and clicked faster than an LP640
It's always a great day when a new story from Christopher shows up. Not sure why but Doug got me into this channel and Chris has kept me entertained. Just such a chill dude with some wild stories. Sorry Ed. You have some great stories and always love listen to you but you just can't hold a candle to Christopher.
We need more of this guy
And less of the Steve Urkel valet parking dude, no disrespect
@@philmakris8507 ah nah I like him
@@willbennett7508 why? He reminds me of that character from In living Color that Damon Wayans played the convict that uses big words incorrectly. He parks cars, c'mon it's not like he's working on the Manhattan project.
Best story teller ever I swear. Knew from the title just like the rest of comments said. So awesome! My man needs to write a book
As a Northern California resident myself. The description of the kind helpfulness of strangers is truly spot on.
I had a good feeling about this one. Christopher is one of the best!
I only come to this channel for his stories and Rabbits
I love how his sweatshirt says “diamond’s driveshaft service” lol
I swear none of Christophers videos are ever a dull story 😂 love this guy
I think christopher is my favorite vinwiki story teller. He is great. More more more please. 🙂
from ventilation to oven mitt.. lol
Best guest ever I would love to sit down and drink a beer with this guy and hear all the story's
He put "almost 150,000 miles on this bike"? I've never heard of anyone putting those kind of miles on their bike. Pretty amazing
Hell man, I put 110,000 on a 2008 GSX-R 750 in a year, and I live in the Midwest. I bought it brand new and rode it every day, rain, shine, and even snow a couple of times. Dirt roads? Hell yeah, I took that thing everywhere, didn't even own a car, that was it, and without fail, every weekend I took off on it all weekend and put at least 1000-1500 miles on it every weekend not to mention my normal use during the week. I'd probably still have it except it got stolen and I kinda took it as my sign that it was time to give up riding.
Knew exactly who was telling the story from the title 😂😂😂. Love this man
"They did their trip and I did mine" lol
I hope Chris has many more stories. He is amongst the best of VINwiki story tellers.
I feel like everyone involved was buying... lmao
The title told me right away it would be Christopher!! That was great!!!
probably the best story teller ever, thank you Christopher
I had to look you up because Chuck Norris said that you were a bad ass😂
The 'Diamond's Driveshaft Service' shirt 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely love christophers stories!
Love this dude so much y’all just need to a spin off channel with him
This guy always has great stories,
One of my fav tellers on this challenge.
Certainly peak Christopher Michaels!
Christopher Michaels, Rob Pitts and Ed Bolian.....absolute GOATs of automotive story telling. Fact.
Gotta say. This guy’s videos are always a win.
Definitely the best story teller ever on the channel
I need one of those shirts!! If you don’t know who diamond is you’re missing out in a good short story
LOL I saw the title and knew it was this guy. Love his stories.
Id have to say that Ed is my favorite to hear stories from just because of his voice, Chris is in second. Hes always hot some crazy interesting stories. Rabbit is third for me.
Only after rewatching some of his older videos do you realize how wild that California motorcycle trip was.
His little Cannonball reminded me of an experience I had last spring. I live east of San Diego and decided to take a trip up the cost in my old rusty af Buick Lesabre. About a week into the trip I woke up in Seattle with no money, I decided to non-stop drive all the way down the west coast. I did it in about 18hrs.
You're a magnet for those situations
Something about the delivery of "They were pretty excited, they were gonna meet up with some girls they had... contacted..." just sends it.
That gravel road they went up, must've been Titus Canyon road, its about a mile away from the street with the decaying stone buildings, there are a few small ghost towns like Leadfield out there, which is actually where the picture of the metal shack was probably from, I just did a drive through that road and further down theres a super cool slot canyon, cool how its in a VinWiki Story now
This is one of my favorite story tellers!!! Today will be a good day!
Love the International Harvester hat!!!! Haven't seen one since I was a kid.
Diamond's driveshaft service, she'll get you in gear.
Best part about this is his international harvester hat
Another epic story with Christopher love to listen to his stories
He is a great story teller and has a whole lot of them! I am a little impressed with how often he seems to have walked very close to BIG trouble, but still have never really got burned. But yeah I love Chris' videos

Well there goes 13 minutes of my life that I will never get back
But do you regret it
Awesome video VINWIKI thank you! This man always has some good ones! As a blessed life long biker certainly seen and experienced my share but a drug deal in a ghost town..... tops! Feels like it could be an episode of scooby for sure! 🤘TEXAS!!!
Man, that episode of Scooby Doo with the ghost town drug deal is one of my favorite ones.
Christopher never ceases to amaze!
Chris stories are GOLDEN
I figured it had to be Christopher when I saw the thumbnail and I wasn’t disappointed.
This guy is becoming one of my top favorite story tellers !
I was always told you will meet more friends with a Harley then a Honda and that holds true we would have never left a soldier down
I swear, Chris has the best stories🤣
This guy needs to be a spokesman for Dos Equis.
This guy needs his own channel just for story telling.
This guy tell the best stories.
I love this guy. Entertaining AF.
Yea we gonna need a consistent story time with this guy lol always good stories
I don't know if Chris is the best Vinwiki storyteller, but he's my favorite
I love that I can identify all these places in Death Valley, highly relatable and another level of the story experience.
Title led me to believe it was him, and it was. I love how the titles are very synonymous with the storyteller
Chris is probably my favorite story teller on VinWiki, along with Doug and Rabbit
fun fact rabbit has his own channel you can go watch
@@HKaftermath yeah! I'm a subscriber
This guy is my favorite person on the channel
