Would love to watch some longer videos of your adventures! I feel like I just can’t get enough, and we definitely look forward to taking a camping trip on the bike now thanks to you guys. Keep the good content coming, maybe a 30 min video some day???
From what I seen. Caleb and Nika of Joy Machine are my favorite Harley riders. They are the true Harley riders. If you both decide to go on longer trips, try to go on a Harley Davidson.
great video! my wife and I are Italians, we live in Boston and we have a son who lives in Tacoma, Washington, we are enjoying watching your videos. we just bought a suzuki intruder volusi motorcycle and we are riding a lot. we just haven't camped yet! keep making videos we are here to watch you!👍
i have been watching oodles of adventure bike /tour bike videos as I am planning to cross the world and back...Most are from single guys of all ages, or single gals of all ages,some famous, but very few are from young couples, and also just exploring around home / state..nothing heady, not a big ADV, but an old hog, with a guy who has a passion for old bikes, and his lovely funny girl who loves riding and nature and filming..its great..refreshing
Thanks for the kind words! We are so happy to be out exploring together for sure. Glad you've been enjoying the vids and we will try to keep them coming.
:) LOVED IT! THANKS MUCH for sharing! You are 2 BRAVE souls for going into the water! I had to LOL as an old friend that introduced me to the mountains and trails here, would dunk in the cold water too... Great old friend and Swede for sure :) ALL THE BEST and Cheers from other side of the mountains! :)
@@joymachinetheshow my wife and I are enjoying them immensely, thanks. We are right now planning a short trip on our bike by ferry from Vancouver Isand to the Port Angeles area, in no small part inspired by your mc adventures!
We will probably share more about us in a video at some point. We have been married for 8 years now, and we met in high school. Thank you for watching!
Happy Anniversary. Great Video. Love the scenic rides. Too bad about the smoke at the first place you went, Diablo Lake. It looked like a beautiful spot. Pretty little towns, places to explore. The River looked nice but it did look chilly even on the nice day. I'd probably go in after a couple rum warmer uppers. LOL.. Awesome stuff. Keep it up. Thanks a lot. Love the adventures.
Thanks so much Paul! Yeah it was a great short trip. We will likely try to get up there again next year, hopefully when it's less smoky. Thanks for kind words and for coming along on our adventures!
Nice ride you were on. Before the pandemic a group of us from Mount Vernon, would ride to Winthrop, have lunch , walk around then ride back to Mount Vernon.
fun video, great scenery. I love watching these here in cold Connecticut when it's too cold for me to ride. As someone who has ridden for many years and just started wearing full protective gear I would suggest it. No judgment , ride your own ride make your own decisions. For me I found having a motorcycle specific jacket it is nice not only for the protection but for having vents so the jacket doesn't balloon. Just my experience. Enjoy your rides, be safe, and thanks for making fun videos with beautiful scenery.
Thanks for watching! We have some good leather and Nika has kevlar jeans but when it gets so cold we make exceptions for comfort. Thanks for the thoughts and kind words!
Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for the videos! I love what you are doing, you guys have absolutely nailed it! Love the style, scenery, sound of the bike rolling down the road and the low key vibe. Keep it up! Can't wait for new videos. Ps I know it's not the case (and just cos ur filming and turning to do so) but I like to think that Nika always rides on the bike side on, like a surfboard or skateboard rider, plait flying in the wind lol. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Happy Anniversary! In all my years in the PNW I do not think I have spent any time on that highway. In 2023 I am going to take a few days and explore that area. Diablo Lake is a 300 trip from Portland so it's not that far away. You know, at the viewpoint, what I could see through the haze was beautiful. Nika does a wonderful job of filming the riding the scenes. How many times have I ridden keeping an eye on my shadow. Great video once again. Thank you!
watching this a second time while I enjoy my morning coffee. I am looking forward to Joy Machine making more videos in the future. Probably not likely but if you are ever in Connecticut I would gladly show you some good motorcycle roads here. Peace.
Hi Calen and Danika. Hope all is well and you had a great winter. Just curious as to when you will taking you next Joy Machine adventure. Now that winter is over and the weather is warming up; time to get the adventure machines out. Not rushing you; your adventures came to mind the other day when our neighbour had his machine out. Take care.
Hey guys.. hope you had a good winter.. wondering if you are going to be doing some more videos this year? I sure hope so.. all the best to you and thanks ❤
Bravo 🤍 these vids are simply magnifique! In my opinion the smoke was a beautiful surprise giving the footage a golden hue of times gone by juxtaposed with your bright youthful spirits. Breathtaking scenery 🏔well done 💚👌
Great video! I live in Chelan and have done that loop many times. I have kayaked Diablo Lake and Ross lake above it and have ridden it on my motorcycle. If you are looking to see a lot more of what was shared in this video you definitely need to drive or ride this loop in northern Washington State. Oh and Calen and Nika I love your name for your channel the Joy Machine. It is definitely that for me.
Your channel just gets better! After each episode I go out and work on my Super Glide with renewed effort. Thanks for another great look at Washington state! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
It has been such a long time since this installment! I need my Joy Machine fix! I hope you are both ok and it’s just bad weather keeping you from posting a new episode. Best regards!
15$ to fill up, I put 25$ in my road king here in pa. Love the channel guys. I'm a new subscriber, love to see more videos from your beautiful state...ya, that evo is pretty damn nice too...lol
Holy smoke! I nearly died when Calen said, "I don't even fish"!!😳 The 2 best things in the world is motorcycling and fishing, even better if you combine the two of them! Better get a couple of telescopic rods and appropriate licenses pronto 🤣 Happy anniversary, thanks for sharing your trip, love that countryside 😀
You seem to get these videos just right. Watching this as a Brit feels like watching a cowboy movie, very ummm old west i suppose. Thanks and happy anniversary (not sure what for but hope it was a good one).
We are in Washington so buried in snow for the last couple months. Don't worry though we will be back making vids soon as the snow melts. Thanks for watching!
wow - beautiful roads! I'll keep that area in mind for a future tour. Calen, why not wearing a leather jacket? Without going for full protections - which are uncomfortable to wear, no matter what they say - a good simple leather protects from the wind without flapping. Also, it provides a wide thermal latitude (comfort range)
Yeah we highly recommend! Usually Calen does wear leather but when it gets down to near freezing temp he has to wear alot of layers and can't all fit under the leather. Thanks for watching!
Happy anniversary amigos!!! Congrats to both of you! Your adventures never disappoint… what a beautiful road and scenery!!! Those small old towns looks sick too! Still thinking you both are from another planet hahahaha swimming in those cold rivers down there like if it’s still Summer!!!… Keep it going amigos!!! 🍻🍻🍻
hey! when will you return with the new videos of the tours and camping? Is it already spring or is it still cold like here in Massachusetts? we are waiting for the new videos stay with God and good routes! 👍😁👍
Haha yes we are spoiled with beautiful scenery here. There are forest fires burning nearby causing all the smoke. We have another one on two bikes planned soon too!
My girlfriend passed away before we could do a camping biking trip, and thencovid hit and then I nearly bit the dust from a blood and bone infection. I'm just now getting back to living a little more again. Unfortunately everyone I rode with has either moved away, stopped riding, or passed away. If yall come through Eastern North Carolina an spend a couple of days or more camping out(or in a camp ground).. say like doing a trip down the outer banks or just passing through even, can I tag along on my Beemer? Just want to do it once. Just not by my self.
That 's a real rough go, sorry to hear about your girlfriend. I totally understand - it's not the same camping alone. We will keep that in mind if we get out that way, would be great to have you along!
@joymachinetheshow thanks I appreciate it. I was just about ready to give up, but you folks make it look easy and fun. With my luck I'd get attacked by Bigfoot, or something. Lol.
Your videos are really refreshing compared to the high number of wankers making this kind of stuff! (you guys and Itchy Boots are the most watchable for my wife and I - I think because you guys and Itchy just communicate the pure joy of riding without the self conscious whining, wanky philosophizing and blatantly bogus drama that many others seem to devolve into!). I guess no video for a while due to the seasons, but if you guys make them I think its fair to say we (and I mean by "we" LOTS of motorcycle nuts out there) WILL watch them! (like Itchy's!). Be really great to see something from you guys soon, even if it's just about the challenges of wringing every second you possibly can out of the riding season - even with that ol grouch winter breathing down our necks!Keep doing it guys, it's really good shit!
Itchy boots is great! We love getting out and adventuring and we are so glad that you enjoy coming along for the ride. We already have lots of camping adventures planned for the spring, as soon as the snow melts!
@Joy Machine thanks! We are definitely looking forward to you guys (and Norally!) coming back soon. Btw we rode a (then) 20 year old Evo HD Superglide all over Canada and the US - against all expectations literally one of THE most reliable bikes we've ever owned, so really love seeing your old Evo! Wish I hadn't sold it!!!
Always enjoy watching. Double thumbs up.
As a fellow Washingtonian and bike rider love the trips through Wa 😎
Gorgeous Riders, awesome machine, beautiful landscape.
It was a pleasure to watch.
Many thanks!
Won't be to long and you two won't be doing those dips in the water. 🐕🙋♀️🙋
Haha that is for sure!
Happy belated anniversary!! Beautiful views!! 🥰

Cool to see you still riding in rocktober... that smoke is crazy... can't believe you got in that water in October lol
Great scenery!
Nice video my friends
Thanks so much!
Great video as usual, I think you have got the length of them just right. You seem a good couple, look forward to more videos 👍
Thanks so much! More to come for sure.
Enjoying all your vids. I think we all would like to get to know how you two met, your story. You seem to make a good couple. Thanks.
We will probably share more about us in a video at some point. We have been married for 8 years now, and we met in high school. Thank you for watching!
Awesome ride and great mountain view from room. Also good job , speedo works again!
Thanks for watching - agree it's a beautiful spot. Cheers!

What a great time. Good job on the swim. I’d have gone in with you.
We will be doing that together pretty soon! Can't wait to see you.
Nice ride you were on. Before the pandemic a group of us from Mount Vernon, would ride to Winthrop, have lunch , walk around then ride back to Mount Vernon.
Sounds like a great day! Hopefully you can pick that up again next season.

Hahaha that is such a great image of Nika riding - that's totally how it feels! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment.
Hahaha side saddle riding.. lol
AWESOME AGAIN,DONT EVER DEVIATE FROM WHAT YOUR DOING!
Thanks Jim - we will keep at it!
I love this channel. Plenty of riding.

Todos Santos looks beautiful, we hope to get to Mexico on the bike one of these years! Thanks for watching!
Great trip....glad to see you got your speedometer fixed! :)

I too would love some longer videos from y'all!
Really enjoy them & keep on putting out your videos.
Keep the rubber down
Aiming to do some longer ones in the future for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you , once again that was a great video ! You really do have some very scenic country over there and some great roads to ride 👍
Thanks for watching!

Seeing this late since I took a break from checking over winter - thanks for checking in though! We are excited for another year!
I think a vintage BMW airhead is more Nika's style. 😉
We actually drove by one last weekend and it looked amazing!
Happy Anniversary!
Hey guys.. hope you had a good winter.. wondering if you are going to be doing some more videos this year? I sure hope so.. all the best to you and thanks ❤

You two seem to be having a great time together, you seem to remind me of me and my wife when we were younger, love watching your adventures
That is great to hear, thanks for watching!

We feel a bit like we are in an old western movie sometimes on these trips! Thank you for watching!
Where have you guys been? Looing forward to Hearing how you are and what you have been up to.
Hoping to head out on the bike again in the next few weekends, just waiting for the weather to warm up! Can't wait.
I work for the Town of Winthrop.
Really cool town - we enjoyed it alot!
Been missing your fun videos where are you guys?
We are in Washington so buried in snow for the last couple months. Don't worry though we will be back making vids soon as the snow melts. Thanks for watching!
Love the videos. How do you video or edit your videos with very little wind noise. Love to hear the motorcycle
It’s tough to get rid of wind noise, we are constantly battling it haha
wow - beautiful roads! I'll keep that area in mind for a future tour.
Calen, why not wearing a leather jacket? Without going for full protections - which are uncomfortable to wear, no matter what they say - a good simple leather protects from the wind without flapping. Also, it provides a wide thermal latitude (comfort range)

Always encouraging - thank you Fernando! This ride was really cool with the old town and smokey views. Glad you enjoyed and we will keep them coming!
@@joymachinetheshow yessssssss!!!!! FTW
hey! when will you return with the new videos of the tours and camping? Is it already spring or is it still cold like here in Massachusetts? we are waiting for the new videos stay with God and good routes! 👍😁👍
Very soon! We keep trying to go but then it snows all over again. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. Thanks for watching!
great video i felt like i was on my motorcycle too , how cold was that river??
Very cold! But was refreshing when you got out haha
Nice vid guys. So do y’all know what the general elevation is your in out there?
Where we stayed at Winthrop is about 1800' and diablo lake is lower at around 1000'. Thanks for watching!
Lol $15 fill up... that's what it cost me to fill up all this past summer. 2002 BMW R1150RT.. 6 gallon tank high octane.. lol.
Any new videos coming up ? Hope all is well.
Waiting for the last of the snow to melt, but aiming to be back out on the road in a couple weeks!
@@joymachinetheshow good to hear its just the weather. Stay safe.
I'm pretty sure Nika is a german name- is she german? BTW my wedding reception was in Winthrop...Massachusetts 🙂
It's short for Danika actually! That is funny we kept seeing restaurants in Winthrop MA when we were looking for a place to eat haha
If you two lived in the corn and bean fields you'd be so, so very depressed. Expected NIKA to be riding her own bike. Smoke or fog??
Haha yes we are spoiled with beautiful scenery here. There are forest fires burning nearby causing all the smoke. We have another one on two bikes planned soon too!
Hey what happened to videos?
We will be back out again when the weather warms up!
Brrrrrrr... lol
