Now that was a ride....you guys are living in a beautiful part of this world, thumbs way up on this one.👍👍👍 Just loved every minute of it....the dual vlog, the ferry, the bridges, the coast, man just loved it.👌😁
On my week long trip. I went from front royal VA to Roanoke VA on the skyline drive and blue ridge parkway. As I got on the brp they were laying new chip seal. My spyder was not happy but got through it unscathed. Toady I did Roanoke VA to little Switzerland on the brp. Beautiful, even had a black bear appear on the road, before running off. Wildlife and spyders, lots of fun.
Perfect day with beautiful skies, scenery and weather. Thanks for taking us along. Hard to tell but it looked like the fall colors were already starting to show. Can't wait for more. Ride safe.
Morning y'all, what a fabulous little day trip guys. I can tell you both are getting rest with the little vacation. I've gotten to the point that when I take time off I don't do much traveling unless it's the big holidays during the year. For me to get home from Kansas to Louisiana it's a day long drive, nearly 12 hours if I push hard and minimize stops. On a bike, to do it comfortably, would take me two days each way I think. Well Shawn got my MSF rider course scheduled, just waiting for the confirmation. If I get the next available date it'll be October 2nd thru 4th. If I successfully complete it I'll have my certificate to take to the license office for the endorsement on the 4th, my 54th birthday. Happy birthday to me huh! Getting excited now. Well, you and Momma take care, I'll see you guys tomorrow. God bless. -Rob
Shawn and Kelly that was the best video just seeing the ride and the water. I went on a 4 hour around trip ride yesterday went to Ft Gaines Ga then back down to Lake Seminole Ga over south to Panama City Fl back home to Dothan Al and 90% were back roads on my Low rider was great to just take a break from the crazy Ambulance service and ride . Again Shawn this video was great and thank you and Kelly for taking time to make a great video!
Perfect ride/Day/Harley. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing. Man this video makes me want a Road King. I'm waiting to see what Harley offers after the new year. Take care.
Hard to believe I can stand on the Columbia in Canada and it heads all the way down to you in Washington/Oregon Shawn!!! I wish you could have the snow from the winters and I could have your weather mountains are beautiful but man the winters are getting longer as I get older ☹️☹️☹️
I said upright and your wife finished with between the lines. You and I have bridge issues and it gets no better with age or time. Get across safely and QUICKLY. Heavy on the quickly😱. You two have done your duty to peeps and country so stay safe and try to peel off the rip👻
Gotta love a road trip to the coast. I always look forward to your dual vlogs. You guys have a blast. Not to mention catching video evidence of Sasquatch! Lol. Fantastic video. Take care you guys. 🙏🏻😎🏴
Hi there Shawn and Kelly It's so good to see you both out having a great time you both work so hard, days like these are good for the soal we loved the ride out thanks so much take care see you tomorrow 😀 👍 🇬🇧 Rob and Lynne.
I've been watching your channel for a lil.bit over maybe couple years...The 2 videos that are the best is this one and the trip to Crater lake... Not that the knowledge you share in your other vids is not good on the contrary you cost me money and I fricking love it because I do stuff I didn't know I could...After my injuries in the Service that is... Thanks Mr.Smaoks and Mrs Smaoks... Really thank you!!!
Nice ride!! I'm from NM. Love taking the ride out towards Portland Oregon and Washington going over the John Day bridge is scary, If you come to a stop. Haven't been out there in years. May have to grab my road king or the Street Glide and go for a long ride. I got to do some fishing in the Pacific and the Columbia river. Had a great time out there. Not too sure if I want to go out that way right now, with what's going on out there. Good video. Thanks for sharing. From, New Mexico. Stay safe and stay blessed. Keep your knees in the breeze! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙✌
When I visited riding buds out there, they used to always ride right up to the front of the lines for the ferries. The bikes got on first and got off first. I always thought the people on the left coast treat us sicklists way better than they do in my neck of the woods.
Lol, I always think about if the ferry runs aground, our bikes will be the first to hit the drink... The silly things we think about..! Lol Thanks saddlebag!!
Oh yeah! What a day trip! That's the kind of trip a motorcycle is made for, especially one like the Road King! You need to add a GoPro to Kelly's helmet when you two are riding together, so we can get views that you can't because you're concentrating on the road. (Of course that might add way too much footage to your already heavy workflow, but it's a thought) Peace and love.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful coastal ride. Your channel is one of the best on YT. Long-time follower from the other coast, Cape Cod. Keep on roll'n!
I always stop at the rest stop before crossing over to Astoria. Dismal Nitch is its name, think the naming had something todo with the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Shawn and Kelly, I really do enjoy your videos. And this one I can watch again and again. I live in Colorado now, but I went to high school late 70s/early 80s in Shelton, there up the 101 from Olympia. There is much I miss from Washington. Lots of beautiful scenery. Lots of water. Just gorgeous on a sunny day. Looking forward to (hopefully) you doing a trip up in the Olympic Peninsula someday. Would love to take that ride also after I get me my own Road King (thinking next year). 👍🏻
Bigfoot has a name, it is Darrell at least according the Progressive insurance TV commercial! lol I would not have any trouble walking over that bridge.
An epic ride! Love the scenery, the ferry. So envious of the roads in your part of the country. We have them here in Alberta as well, but sadly, I have to ride for four or five hours to get to them, lol. Well done, Shawn and Kelly :) I shall continue to ride vicariously through you!
Welcome to Goonies country, never saw the sign. Looks like lovely country around there. Y'know if you stand on the point and look out into the Pacific, just turn a bit to left and on a really good day you can almost see Oz :)
Nice ride! I've had 3 Road Kings in the past and want another now. The prices have gone through the roof though. Even used ones at my local dealership are ridiculous in price. Hoping to find one for a fair price and get back out there! Safe travels!!
When I ride 12 miles around the block after work in the Northern Virginia's (DC Metro) nasty traffic, I giggle and smile :) Cannot even imagine what "that kind of ride" do to my soul. Love VA, but hate the traffic, congestion and the Worst drivers on the universe especially DC and MD tags!!! :) There is not a single State Trooper or Cop to be find since the Riots, so people fly by you 100 mph on the beltway at 55 mph zone (not kidding). If you're doing 55 to 60, you are dangering your life!!!
Great video as always, how do you like the road king compared to your slim? I know they are two different bikes but I’ve heard great things about the new softail frames....
Man you are still a kid at heart. Thats how you stay young. Im glad to see you and the lil woman having some quality time.
Thanks Walter!!
Great road trip! Thanks Shawn and Kelly for taking us along!
200 miles on the new seat, it must be comfortable! Thanks for the road trip to the coast!👍
that was a cool road trip. you've not done one of those in a while . an the ferry was a cool add on to it..
Thanks Andy!!
Now that was a ride....you guys are living in a beautiful part of this world, thumbs way up on this one.👍👍👍 Just loved every minute of it....the dual vlog, the ferry, the bridges, the coast, man just loved it.👌😁
Thanks a ton!!
Great trip , i have the pleasure of living by the sea in a little Cornish village called polperro , 👍👍 thanks for the video 👍👍👍

Great video, good choices of destinations and not a train in sight....Carry on you two....
Guys what a beautiful ride!!! Thank You so much for sharing your day trip

Shawn and Kelly, my favorite route to the coast.
Be safe,

I love those bridges! They have torn down all of ours years ago. They were much much smaller, those are gigantic!
Good video, you make it easy to watch a 27:47 minute video !!!
Perfect ride/Day/Harley. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing. Man this video makes me want a Road King. I'm waiting to see what Harley offers after the new year. Take care.
Very nice trip , and perfect camerawork 👍👍👍👍

Nice I tried to follow on Google earth but couldn't find that Ferry crossing beautiful scenery.
Search for Wahkiakum County Ferry... Here is a wikipedia link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahkiakum_County_ferry
Thanks Graham!!
I have just bought a 2003 ultra classic. I need to get some riding lessons and away I go. Very very nice video.
That looked fun. Love to take my LR on a trip like that. Thanks guys
You should..!
Thanks Mark!!

My home stomping grounds. The oddest thing about Oregon is the gas stations have to fill your tank up for you.
Hi u2 well earned rest indeed great ride great great ride😎🤣✌👊

That was a great ride, makes me want to do another road trip up to the North East here on the other coast.

The toll booths were taken out in 1993, quite a while ago.

Tha was epic!
Wicked cool video Shawn!
Hi there I enjoyed the video. I'm curious what type of trunk you have? I'm looking at a Road King in early 2022. Cheers!
Man that was a great ride 😎👍
Thanks 👍
Great video Shawn, would you rather do that on the Road King or the GS? Cheers bud
Neil Bradshaw - Either would be fine, but the RK is considerably more comfortable, especially with a passenger..!
Thanks!! 👊
hello did you get week of has the shop close due to covi19
Nope, just took some time off...
Thanks Dale!!
TheSmoaksVlogs ok 😎 cool
Great video as always, how do you like the road king compared to your slim? I know they are two different bikes but I’ve heard great things about the new softail frames....
Nice video
Any shock or suspension upgrades on that bike of yours yet?
Nope, she's completely stock and working great...
Thanks Jeffrey!!
😉✌️
did i miss something
How much does it cost to ride a fairy now days
It was $4 for a motorcycle...
Thanks David!!
