I ❤ I have been watching all of these. Not the best cinematography, but this is BY FAR THE MOST authentic cross country video l have seen! ❤

[@kellyharden9894]

Live for today because tomorrow is never promised. Great videos. 🏍️

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

I get it, for safety ya post backwards...I probably would too... but Lake of the Ozarks is only an hour away, I'd have put you both up and grilled some steaks or something. One of my favorite YT channels ever! Y'all are the best - love the series!! 👊😎

[@joymachinetheshow]

That would have been great! Thanks for the support, cheers!

[@joshfroese8033]

Tuk for the win 🏆

[@joymachinetheshow]

Absolutely!

[@erich.4305]

enjoyed the video. love to watch your videos with my morning coffee but discovered this at night and couldn't hold off to watch until the morning. Keep making videos, now that my bike is away for the winter I hope you continue to post videos. Your videos let me experience riding while drinking coffee sitting next to my woodstove. How many more videos will you have in this series?

[@joymachinetheshow]

Total for the series will be around 20! Great to hear that we are your accompaniment for morning coffee!

[@johnhall4445]

That’s right! “Who knows where we’ll end up tomorrow?” As our planet hurtles through space and time, the Joy Machine does the same on the surface on its unending search for a new vista! Ride Safe!

[@joymachinetheshow]

We love that, thank you!! ❤️

[@fabiopunk1661]

agree that too long days on the bike are not so good. it's better to save some time in the afternoon and wander around. I personally try to ride 300 miles max. take care

[@danielbarnes6025]

Loving the new series guys ,you have a different feel to your vlogs than others on KZbin and I like it ,your both very chilled out and just enjoy being on the road. Keep em coming !!

[@backroadmax2344]

Well said! I couldn’t agree more

[@joymachinetheshow]

Glad you like them, cheers!

[@simonwiltshire]

Just got to love this simple way of life, keep going guys, cheers for the videos.

[@twilightzone6917]

Great job guys keep The videos coming, hope to see you guys on the road someday, stay real, stay safe

[@mr.b3168]

Sure the rocky west is always touted to be the most beautiful part of a cross country road trip.... but The midwest is beautiful in a calm, serene way.

[@paulmatthews564]

Great ride this leg of your trip. Beautiful countryside. Nice campground. We used to stay at a campground in Myrtle Beach; and using their showers the water was never hot. I think it was just lukewarm from the summer heat of South Carolina. Great video.

[@joymachinetheshow]

Yeah the showers are often disappointing, but it's beautiful for sure! Thanks for watching, Paul!

[@Eds_PanAm]

luv me a snickers and pop tarts!!! LOL nothing like praying to the motorcycle gods! lol i've done that before.....

[@joymachinetheshow]

Haha totally - when you're that hungry sometimes a poptart can really hit the spot.

[@Eds_PanAm]

@@joymachinetheshow it can!! I'm also a big fan of the almond snickers. 😂

[@dragonclaw88]

you should def do a video on your bike!! maybe the history...how long youve had it..things youve changed on it...things you might wish were different...great old bike...id love to have it over all these new computers on wheels that are out now

[@joymachinetheshow]

Absolutely, we will try to do something like that at some point. Thanks!

[@jimmcgill7575]

GREAT STUFF, AS USUAL!

[@greaser_cycles]

Another great video. I can’t wait to see your next one.

[@ChaplainMike777]

You two are sure getting a great view of America! Those long days on the road and not finding camp until late happens. Yes, don't make it habit. Finding a place in the dark is the pits! LOL Loving your adventure. Thank you for sharing it.

[@b.c.hotrods1016]

Great video. Subscribing to see more. Cheers.

[@jwahrmund]

Thank you for the video. Makes me miss Nebraska and all over the Midwest. Cicadas and crickets are a beautiful song to sleep by

[@joymachinetheshow]

Absolutely agree, cheers!

[@LloydMayes]

I sure wish I could that, it looks like sooooo much fun. ❤

[@martykong3592]

[@kenbrendabaker7806]

Enjoying the videos kids! Nice to see our kids having fun on the road! Keep em coming. Maybe when I retire I will join you for a ride.

[@joymachinetheshow]

Yes please, pops!

[@РафикВасильев-ю9ц]

ЛАЙК !!! 😊👍

[@user-us1hx2cx3j]

You guys should keep on doing this - riding (of course!) and making videos. Here is why: there are a lot of people on youtube (naming no names) doing mc travel stuff who are just basically so full of themselves it quickly gets real old real fast. You guys and Itchy Boots are the truest exceptions to that phenomenon. There is no reason why you guys cannot evolve in a similar way that Itchy Boots did. If you look at her very first videos they were so primative compared to now. Sure, a drone seems to add a lot, as does editing and better sound equipment, but most critical (in my view, for what its worth) is (are) the personality of the people making and IN the video. You guys HAVE "the right stuff", as does Itchy (Norally). Compare, by way of interest, my countryman (although I live in BC now) Million Dollar Bogan to Itchy Boots. Consider the number of followers each has. It's all about personality and authenticity. Even vids about how YOU keep that old Evo going will be of interest to folks. Indeed, you guys have seriously got me shopping for an Evo again. So PLEASE keep doing it!!!

[@joymachinetheshow]

This comment was really encouraging, thank you so much! Itchyboots is great and it's nice hearing that you think we have some of the 'right stuff' that she has. We will keep on going and hopefully others also enjoy. Thanks again, cheers!

[@user-us1hx2cx3j]

@@joymachinetheshow there are so many gob smacking rides in Washington and BC...you have endless raw material there if you can find the time away from work to do it, which I appreciate must be a challenge. Not to mention old highways 1 and 101 down the West Coast which I rode (by myself unfortunately) in July starting at Port Angeles WA after catching the ferry from Victoria. Camped in so many amazing spots, and was blown away to see how generally deserted the beaches are until about one hundred km or so north of SF. Btw, I'm sure people would watch longer videos ( 25-30 minutes!) if you did them...the music is awesome and if my wife and I are anything to judge by, we really love the mental escape hatch you provide on a wintery day or a day we have to work or whatever. Keep going guys!!!

[@danielsouthern411]

How many miles does that Ole evo got on it.. luv the videos btw

[@1vmxracer]

Could you list the kind of video equipment you're using as well as what editing program?....thanks, ANOTHER great video.

[@joymachinetheshow]

For sure! We use Final Cut Pro for editing, and for cameras we use a GoPro, insta360 (on a stick) and a sony x3

[@DEATHMETALCYCLE]

Do you guys like the tent? Mine always has condensation in it

[@joymachinetheshow]

Yeah we are spoiled with living in a dry air climate so we aren't as used to condensation, but we sure do get it when we are in humid places. The tent can't be beat for saving space though and not having any poles is great for packing.

[@KADIAK_023_RUS]

🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸

[@Damon1864]

Another good one! About how many miles do you get on a tank of gas?

[@joymachinetheshow]

No idea haha we don’t track it though we probably should haha

[@fabiopunk1661]

[@joymachinetheshow]

We threw a temporary fix on it in a later episodes you probably saw. Cheers!
