1 day to build the bike, 2 days to test it and then we took it on a 1200 mile road trip to barber vintage festival. Pretty good for an ol Yamaha xs650. Hope you guys enjoyed this one, it took a lot of work! Keep it weird y'all #shadetreearmy
"florida man accidentially grows a shock absorber on his butt after riding 1200 miles on an hardtail"
lol
They call those hemorrhoids
Lol. That’s pretty funny.
How bout a polinodal cyst on your tail bone?
No shock absorber pants on any rod
Me and a brother of mine who passed away got drunk as shit and ate pizza at that same place one night while we were in airborne holdover. Fuckin good times RIP Snapp
WOW, I can't even go 50 miles straight on a hardtail 'without stopping and giving my bony ass a rest; dude you a BAD ASS. I bow to you..
Honestly man, I stumbled upon this video by accident. I watched the entire thing and half way thought the video I just had to put a pizza in the over and crack two beers while I watched the rest of it. I'll deffinately watch more of your channel and in case you see this comment, I want you to know that I really enjoyed it.
That’s an awesome compliment my friend, thank you!!
Every time you start that chopper the exhaust barks “HELL YEAH!!!”
Just came back and watched this one again! Still just as good as the first time I watched it a year ago! 😎👊🏼
This mic is amazingly good
Later this month my friends and I are flying to Florida, buying motorcycles, and then riding back to Utah
Nice job Josh!
In preparation for my own XS650 build I came looking for inspiration on RUclips and found myself disappearing down the rabbit hole with you. Just finished binge watching the entire build series over the last two days (it's 2022 now so I don't know if you'll ever read this).
I spent the last 6 weeks of Covid shutdown building my bobber (1988 HD Evo Softail) so I too have been trough the torments of learning as you go and just love the way you've been able to share those trials. We all have those moments and those feelings of frustration and exasperation, self doubt, triumph and thankfulness as we persist.
My only critique that might be worth anything. is the damn order you've got the playlist in. It's backwards! I had to select each video in turn rather than just hitting the "play all" button. Oh, and I never found episode 22 (or anything numbered after that). After the suicide shifter was fitted, next thing you were picking up the tins from paint. I'm sure they're in there somewhere, but as a reference guide and a playlist, it sucks. I hope you'll go back and catalogue the series. It really is excellent and if you want to inspire as much as you say you do, a couple of hours doing so will be appreciated by many that come after me. It's all well and good watching Indian Larry, Jesse James or Billy Zane do their thing (and I do that too) but to add garage builds to the mix like LnspltBlvrd and your good self have done is where most of the rest of us reside and brings the ideas of building into the realms of us mortals.
The white board $$$ tally also disappeared fairly early on. Did you ever keep that running or complete it? Never did find out what this beast cost you or (in particular) what welding the hardtail on came to.
Well done on the build. That thing is fucking knarly, man. I tip my hat to thee.
I cant convince my riding buddies to go on a road trip the most i can squeeze out of them is a 100 miles in a day
Ugh, no kidding. No one wants to do a 12 hour ride anymore. :(
Daniel Peters same. I mostly ride alone. In a group there’s always somebody that “has” to be home by noon. Somebody always needs gas. Somebody always has some excuse to being late to the meeting spot and so on. People suck. 100 miles is just getting started
@@thereve your exactly right lol
That’s why I’m so lucky. My wife and I ride and hit the road every weekend. She’s only had her bike for about a year but no more trying to find a group to go.
@@shiptime8108 mine wants a trike maybe I'll start looking for one.
Hey scruffy Murphy’s was my go to spot when I was in tank school. Lowkey miss some of those nights
I love the sound of that motorcycle
This what we do local . I need to get out on the road again. GREAT VIDEO I enjoyed it !
Love the mag sticking out like my triumph but the other side
Such a positive guy love your videos!!!
I’m glad your bro was ok
I really enjoyed the ride along lol you are a treat.
God bless America!
Subbed. What an awesome video and person
None of these guys in the comments have ridden with rabbit ears and it shows lmao
I like your gloves. Can you possibly let me know what kind they are? Thanks
A dumb question:Does counter steering work on these handlebars? Lol
Who did the music while you were going through the show? Thanks.
I just fail to understand why there are so many thumbs down for this clip?
🇺🇸 👍🏻 Very Entertaining Video ‼️
Hope he is ok
No clutch?
I live 8 miles from Silvermoon Tavern. Yall must not be far.
14:29 what bike is this?
you're a bad ass just for riding 1200 miles with those handlebars
@paul beenis - no, sweetheart. It means you got balls. It means you have guts. It means you're not afraid.
@@d.s7741 I COULD ride with those handlebars. but I wont. just stupid tbh
@@d.s7741 yeah having the guts driving such an ugly ass bike with those handle bars
If you think riding with those handlebars are badass, you probably deserve to stick to a grom
And looking at those kids bicycle handgrips from the 60s for 1200 miles is just ,well just scary.
“His bike isn’t old it’s just shitty” words of a wise man
look who's talking
After market ignition and carb and who knows what else ? Nothing original about this.
Yeah, that's why Harleys of any year and condition are worth something.
Lol
When I was younger I made the run your making and many others. Sometime alone, sometime with a gal on the back, sometimes with friend or two and others with my dad riding next to me. Slept on the ground at night and rode all day long. My bikes have sat in a shec for few years because the needs of my kids, work and agings parents always put them too far down the list. Sadly I list my old man last year and the last time I rode was next my best friend at the front of his funeral procession. Thanks for being who you are and reminding me of who I was. Enjoy it while you can! Life is too short to miss having a little adventure. If you are ever in Wesley Chapel and need a pick up, loaner tool or a shop to wrench in hit me up.
Some of my best cross country treks were alone. Instant new adventures...
You amazing person
Sorry for your loss brother
Dude I’m sorry for all you had to go through
Pop ride with us. I carried his ashes in my saddlebags. No regrets here when my kids finish growing up me and the wife will buy a geezer wing and hit the road again. Have fun guys.
No one:
Absolutely NO ONE:
The handlebars: / \
:DDd thanks for the laughs dude
They arent any worse than 18” ape hangers.. actually that bend was pretty standard back in the 70s and 80s
I'd prefer handlebar size of my shoulder
Shut up, that shit is annoying.
Stop the “no one” comments.
My father came home from Vietnam in 1968 to nothing. His parents thought he would never come back so they sold all his belongings. He had a 1968 BSA and rode it from Michigan to Alaska to work on the Cook Inlet on an exploratory drill rig. His story’s about the trip and the work are epic. Wish he had a go pro camera in those days.
that might be the coolest shit ive ever heard
Legend.
If you're starving, a gas station hotdog will save your life. Just sayin'
Or end it.
And you know this...man!!!
just stop by Gas Station Encounters and steal a fresh sandwich or ten _ she gone !!
And then you are leaving a trail of shit behind you
I call them Death Dogs lol
I did three states in 1972 on my chopper, my back was never the same.
And you been pissing blood ever since.
@@dutchvanderlinde3256 haaaaaaaaaa! Yea, I remember one day I lifted my ass to late over railroad tracks, I think I broke some teeth.
timmy tool try chiropractor they might help
@@dutchvanderlinde3256LOL I was only 20, but I took a beating for sure!
@@bingobandit lol!!!!!!!!!!
Is there anything more "American" than building your own bike, then going on a multi state road trip with your friends? Fkn epic! Well done brother, you checked off alot of goals this year. PS thanks for doing this in one video.
Also stopping at 5 places for beer along the way
It's cool but not uniquely American to go on a trip on a home made jalopy.
garage built bikes rule!!!!!
@@rvyyvn drinking and driving is illegal dude
Wish I lived in the USA
Its watching stuff like this which makes me want to have friends lmao
i feel you
Not many millennials have friends.
@@Balithazzarr im way to old to be one of those bud.
@@SirJimOfBob how old I'm 35
@@Balithazzarr hmmm turns out I didnt really know what one was Ive just looked it up and yeah id be classed as one.
I sold my last motorcycle in '87, thirty some odd years later, you've just rekindled an old man's fires.
WELCOME BACK BRO! RIDE ON I'M A YOUNG MAN AT 67 SO MAYBE ONEDAY WE CAN CHUGG A FEW BEERS BE SAFE! RIDE ON
Got married in 84' ...promised my new bride to give up riding, for her peace of mind. Thirty years later got back on a bike and been riding again, since 2014...I'm 63 now. Keep on riding, my friend...life's too short.
1989, here. Wish I still had the F7 *buzz bomb.*
@Geezer65 what kind of bike did you end up getting?
@@grabagatakaflacotaco1606 - Will eventually be a 4 cylinder Goldwing. money, money, money.
A ride like that after just finishing up a motorcycle, you sir are a legend!
It was a roll of the dice but it worked out lol
Yep!
@@shadetreesurgeon where is the clutch lever
@@brandonhenderson2960 looks like a foot clutch and jockey shift set up, cool looking but not for me
Brandon Henderson it's absolutely the only way to ride!
Ya gotta try it sometime. Jockey shifting feels quite natural, and is not as fightening as you may think. I've taught many of my buds to ride 'em
40 years for me on jockeys. (does that make me old??) :P
This dude is so damn friendly. Gotta love the energy that he emits is just wholesome goodness. Haha subbed. 🤙
Bikes do that, just like guns seem scary till you're at the range. Or really generally it's hard to be mad when you're doing your hobby.
Dude great view with this camera. I felt like I was sitting in your beard for the whole ride. 👍
“We got drunk and the cops showed up...” I couldn’t be more proud!
80 miles out of a tank of petrol. Jeez, my bladder holds more than that! Well done. Only way to test your bike is ride it👍
Style before function. Gotta look good at the side of the road when it breaks down ;D
3:06 I almost had a stroke on how relatable that early morning going to have some fun feeling is
Me toooo.
I need friends like these.
All my long distance bike trips are solo missions
you happen to be in cali?
same i hate long trips alone you get bored and fall asleep
Mike Adler same i usually fall a sleep while driving
I wish i had friends
I know what you mean. I'm in NY and I have driven in rain and 10 degree weather. Yet my chicken shit boys won't ride to Daytona with me. It gets hotter as you keep going wtf they want.
To quote a wise man: You can go anywhere you want on anything you want. Just how far, fast, and in how much comfort is up to you. And the difference between disaster and adventure is in the attitude. Great Vid!
This is literally my dream. Road trips with the boys, drinking beer, getting hammered.
Follow your dreams Kristoffer...before its too late and they get too far away...Follow them while you can...
@@lwc2009 thank you for that advice.
I just bought my first Harley Dyna Low Rider 1689cc bike last week for my 52nd birthday. We need to check these things off our list before it's too late Kristoffer... You're NEXT!
Yea but unfortunately guys like is probably do t have the time due to complaining wife and not full of cash
As my dad would say if your getting hammered and riding a bike your a fucking idiot!
Dude I just found your channel. It’s awesome. I love the fact that it’s real world shit and not 50k baggers that a normal guy can’t afford. Thanks for keeping it real!
This man knows what he is talking about
Keep the Japanese bikes out of this child
Shadetree,
I’ve watched this episode three times and it never gets old. This is the essence of what riding is all about; friends, beer, good times and the road. Hope to one day build a bike of my own. Thanks for inspiration.
Alcohol has absolutely nothing to do with riding. And if you think it does you're the worst kind of rider there is. Putting yourself and your whole group in danger just so you can feel cool.
@@billhedrick17 It isn't about alcohol and riding, it's about riding somewhere and consuming alcohol.
@@PotatoeJoe69Yes sir if yer a real man you should be able to have 1-2 beers and still be under the legal limit 💪
I love your videos man coming from Texas all walks of life watch your videos
that handlebar is like me riding on a scooter as a kid only using the steering pole and not the handlebars.
THE LEGEND
SHADE TREE
This made my day. I totally get it.
No cup holders, stereos, GPS bullshit! Riding with friends and kicking it old school.
10-4
Apart from the go-pro on his head and the smartphone strapped to the headlight....
@@andrewfurniss8944 if it wasn't for that, we would not be able to "tag along" , now would we?
but he’s got gps on his bike... and he’s riding with headphones in...
Man those bars look so uncomfortable.
Brian Emery they are
But so cool
@@gagetheraccoon2044 they just remind me of an old bicycle. But I guess it could be considered cool by some. I know I liked stuff that I don't like anymore.
Filip lahoda I only like them on certain types of bikes. Looks really good on that bike.
@Eddie R Well everyone has opinions... imo, they look cool but no one really cares what you or I think lol
I think I’ve seen this video probably 5-10 times. It’s such a comfort video. Due to financial issues, I had to sell both my motorcycles and haven’t rode in a few years, but every so often I’ll come back to this video to kind of be reminded of how amazing riding truly is.
"1200 miles one-handed"
Ayyyy 24:44 the off the ranch theme music.
Hope y'all know who that is.
Corb Y gotta love Matt
Corb Y brings a good feelin
Fuck yee
I thought it was Sister Golden Hair...
Yesir
Great Vid - but a phone mount on the front of an aircooled old skool chop is just too much cultural cross over for me !
Dude I thought about that 😂
Holy shit there are almost no cars on those roads. I envy that.
Also, I think those old machines just work better when they are used. Like, if you don't use them they get all crappy, don't start and throw tantrums.
Awesome trip.
Very true
Its true, carbs gum up after a while of just sitting. Batteries can go dead if there is a drain on the battery, oil rings, seals dry out.
Ya they're also straight as a fucking arrow 🤣
dmaxcustom keeps the tolerances in check! Theses motors are built pretty loose since they’re air cooled and stuff will get stuck and settle weird if they aren’t regularly cycled around and expanded and contracted
That thing would be pretty much undrivable on busy roads or anywhere else that requires frequent gear changes.
I love seeing more than just Harley Davidson even though I ride one I also like riding my dirt bikes
The vintage bikes, the scenery, the music, the friendship and journey looks so f’n amazing! 🎸🤟
Y'know, I put a message on here a while back, moaning about how heavy your content had become on the chop build. Coz it didn't interest me.
You put up a civilized, calm explanation of why - time available/day job/deadline etc.
So I (kind of) stuck with it. Albeit reluctantly.
But HEY! You did it!! Watching your personal triumph and happiness made all those hours of watching you polish and fettle stuff worthwhile.
Good job lad!!!!
Sense of achievement well earned.
(Just to be a little bit grumpy, I still hate that bike, it totally does not do it for me - but that matters not one single fuck, flying or otherwise - it's YOUR bike, built to YOUR dream. You loved it, hated it, built it then got to know it on the road. As you Amurican folk like to say -Awesome!!)
Great job fella!
24:48 I though it was a toy motorcycle on the store of the shelf.
Me too! At first I thought that it was packages of toy bikes, stacked up.
I knew I knew that bike. I saw y'all riding through columbus. Absolutely beautiful crew of bikes. Keep up the great content!
"character building experience..." yep and friends being there for ya. way to go.
I’m from Grand Prairie Alberta Canada great video really enjoyed it. I’m 67 years old. Makes me want to go out there and do it one more time.
Bikes, beers, and bro's. You're going to have a great time. Jealous!!
And then STDs
Just passed my bike license last weekend, haven't bought a bike yet, but this video is straight up inspiration!
Hell yeah man get it 😎
Just dont let anyone tell you what bike to get. You need to find something you will be comfy on and wont be bored on. Ride on brotha
Did you get one? I want to go get my licenses
i got a bike no liscense n no classes cause of the corona but fk it i ride go for it man!!!!
Update: Got one, love it. Haven't had any accidents yet, feeling confident and my skill is increasing with every ride. It is true freedom.
This is what America is all about. Adventures with your family.
God I can't wait to get a bike, I have been dreaming of getting my first harley for so long now its finally gonna happen this coming summer
I hope you are finally riding that Harley you've been dreaming of!
@C .LaFlames huh
Did u get your bike??
Did you get the bike? How are you liking it?
Give us an update bro!
These guys are heart with their different motorcycles on the open road
And everyone told me I was crazy for doing 2500 miles on a stock 05 sportster. Love it Josh you're a badass
I want that bike. That blue and the 70s vibe I'm in love.
Get in line, pal!
@@dutchvanderlinde3256 yeah the nerve of this guy 🙄
who needs to see smug mugs on expensive machines .silverback on a shed built for me !well done big guy😁
I couldn't be the only one expecting to hear "KICK IT!" In the intro, I'm so used to hearing it after the guitar
Rayden Kreps you definitely aren’t 😂
😂
Everytime I hear that intro I'm waiting for the Beastie boys to say "kick it!"
I was going to comment that, i guess great minds think alike.
I love how josh was talking about all these badass bikes you get to see at fests like this but i guarantee there were several people who looked at his chopper thinkin “damn you don’t get to see that every day”
6:43 - There is something magical about kickstarting an old school chopper! Love it mate :)
Seth Rogen bro?
I just bought my 1st bike and can’t wait to have adventures like this with my friends
Fantastic!! Having watched this bike build and all you’ve been through.... I’m really proud of you man! That’s what trips were like in the 70s early 80s! Well, except no one wore capris while riding Ducatis LOL 😂
Gonna be completely honest. I thought you were doing a wheelie for the first 3 and a half mins of the vid
😂
Ridin bikes great friends good times that’s what it all about man 🤙🏻
Take the Rocket to Sturgis next time. I'm curious how that beast eats up the miles.
I've watched this video like 3 times and I enjoy it every time. Makes me want to get on my bike and go some where.
Phenix City, Alabama. Not Fenix 😂 gotta defend my hometown
Living the freakin dream dude, living the freakin dream.
Love this vlog, thanks for having us all along on your epic journey.
That is the very definition of a great time. On the road with friends, using motorbikes, and good weather - to die for.
So cool to see this from you starting this build all the way through this trip. Thanks for taking us all along.
4:48 I think he tried to clutch
Looks like a great time. I’m in need of a good road trip myself
A trip you will remember forever on a bike you built that's priceless!!
"I need a port-a-jon and a beer... in that order..." 😂😂😂😂
Love how the carborator is just out there
Cold air induction for sure.
You hardcore weirdo you made it. My hero.
It's always the first or last 5 miles where shit starts going crazy!
Anyhow, awesome trip! Thanks for sharing with us!
I'm not really surprised that the engine made it , Those engines are awesome and will run in just about any condition, It is surprising however that the rest of the bike made it and that you made it on that F-ing seat , Great video I really enjoyed it, Thanks.
Hey man! I live in Pelham Ga and I seen y’all at Aden’s getting gas
Epic as FCUK! BADASS journey. So freaking cool building this and taking this journey. There ain't enough bread and peanut butter in this country for all the jelly I am. Great content
The group of friends you have are amazing, I'm truly envious. Thank you for the time and effort you put into every video, and the entertainment you've provided since the beginning.
I love this kind of video. You have customized a bike to make it your own. It's much more "cool" than anything you can buy off a showroom floor. I need to do this. My bike won't be anything like this, with endless possibilities, some imagination and ingenuity, you can have your own custom rolling art. You have a masterpiece.
Thanks man :)
