[@shadetreesurgeon]

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES! Catch the next part of our adventure In Cheyleesi’s video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp2ZhKZ-r9V7rMk

[@mazda3jdm]

Video is blank for me

[@lennycruz4558]

You've summoned the weird army 💚❤️🧡🌞😁

[@KickstandOptional]

Josh, I got hit by a car on my bike just over two years ago. Lost my left leg in the wreck. I'm just getting around to where I can start walking again, and am presently on the hunt for a cheap ass Dyna to get back in the saddle. Watching your videos has been a real respite for me, man. I can't express how much this channel has meant to me. A world of thanks from Mobile AL, Steve

[@gallimead]

Steve, I'm disabled with cerebal Palsy. It limits me to trikes, as I have little strength in my legs. Been riding for almost 8 years. Good luck.. and you'll get there.

[@kevinbarnbrook4728]

You two are an inspiration, well done for keep on riding.

[@KickstandOptional]

@Vitamin Speed wound up getting a twin cam Softail. It's rough around the edges but will make a good project.

[@lostontheroad2114]

The amount of amazing people I met on this ride was great. I will be riding with alot of them in the near future.

[@marcusdaniel9669]

That long lake was Klamath Lake... You would have to have turned right and climbed to 6000 feet to see Crater Lake! Well worth the trip if you get another chance I would definitely recommend it!

[@joshwright417]

Biggest group right I've ever been on is three people and it was like 50 miles. Although I have soloed multiple States, I imagine it's funner with a group.

[@theoldman8877]

I did a fundraiser motorcride for law enforcement wives , it was a little bigger . About 3000 bikes.

[@Kflan5621]

Depends on the group...

[@yosjoerd]

Imo 1 good friend is the best ‘group’ to ride with. Especially if the friend is the same skill/endurance level as you are. Big groups slow you down or force you to do stuff you’re not comfortable doing. Been on both sides😅

[@WolfchildPickit]

I’m 49 got my first bike back February. I put almost 4k miles on it since spring, it’s an 01 fatboy, no training just jumped on it and never got off. Changed my life. Great vids! Keep it weird!

[@Doug_Morgan]

After many years of only riding on the street I just went out last week and bought a DR650 dual sport. Last time I had one was in the late 80's. I turn 62 in a couple days and having the time of my life.

[@aussiebodie]

Two things I love about this video... the Jurassic Park recorder music over and the use of the tune that Million Dollar Bogan uses... I heard it

[@PierrePagé-s6z]

Josh, I love it when you turn to Chey and say “It’s me and you vs the world kid, and it’s a big world!” with the music background on top, it’s like a scene from a movie! Was it from a movie? And when you turn right on that street and you say it’s the wrong way, no, I think you were actually right the first time because when you turn around, parked cars on either side of the street are facing you. I think you drove up a One Way, Dude! Hahaha! 😉👍

[@rhoadsy]

FYI, the lake in the vid was not Crater Lake, and if you didn't ride up to Crater Lake, I'm sorry to say you missed out, Josh. It's an awesome view. Great vid, can't wait to see the rest of the saga.

[@turbomustang84]

Been to Crater lake but not since childhood... I remember massive amounts of mosquitoes LoL

[@teddyrimkus4549]

Hey man I just wanted to say your long distance trips always put me in a better mood lately I haven’t had my motorcycle for 2 months and that’s my only transportation, so life is kinda hard, but just wanted to say thx man for the awesome content and keep up being awesome 🤘

[@j.d.herman8373]

Man it’s cool to see you ride and react to my local roads. I’ll try to catch y’all next time you’re up this way.

[@GawgaCracka]

BRO U r exactly right, there are more bikers out there that will be accepting of another biker, than won't be in my experience, and I've been on some sort of 2 wheeled machine since getting my Motorcycle learners permit way back in the late 80's, rockets, cruisers, big ole baggers it doesn't matter to most of us what someone rides, we're all living the same dream....keep it rubber down brother, see U on the road.

[@Onewholovesrock]

Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. Something like 1900 ft. Deep. One of the deepest in the world

[@blackf350]

That was Klamath Lake, Crater Lake is the lake in the extinct volcano about 55 miles north west from there. Crater Lake is worth the trip to see.

[@michaelwest359]

I live in Eugene, 100ish miles south of Portland, finally healed completely from totaling my '93 Honda on May 3rd. I totaled a 93 Nighthawk (and a 2015 Nissan p/u tbh lol) broke 4 ribs, right collarbone and both bones in my left forearm pretty badly. Bought ANOTHER 93 Nighthawk 3 weeks after I got out of the hospital, this one needs some love before I go for any cruises, but soon. If I have to wait for next season then so be it. Did I mention I turn 70 this next April, been riding since I was 10, this was my first crash w/another vehicle, last time I wanna do THAT! Maybe we'll get to ride together next year! Can't keep an old biker down! Sorry I missed you....

[@jasonshortphd]

I actually just rode across Mt Hood and the rest of Oregon last weekend. Its a great ride. I ended up in Hells Canyon, awesome ride. But nothing quite like long distance riding.

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

This is exactly what happend with me man... I've always wanted a motorcycle, always. But after loosing a few friends on accidents it always worried me. I'd say three years ago I found your channel and you my man, made me say "Fuck it... you want it, you watch Shades videos with a smile on your face all the time, its time you fucking do it." and I did... I couldn't afford my dream Harley but gaddamit I got what was 2nd best to me... my Yamaha Stryker. So Josh, thank you for helping me see what I was missing and make the jump!! As I already mention in another video, if y'all mofo's are ever in my neck of the woods, and that's up in Montreal, Canada... beers on are me my brother!

[@c0dy1287]

I'm more of a sport bike guy but I always loved the look of those Strykers. I fear accidents too, but it doesn't stop me either. Instead fighting it, I made friends with the fear to help me stay focused and keep me alive. Yeah there's no helping things that are out of our control but I'm also much more afraid of reaching the end of my life with no stories worth telling and nothing to look forward in old age but a slow crawl to death.

[@croscoe333]

That's what I'm talking about! Riding definitely has its risks, but its worth it as you found out. Glad you're out there enjoying two wheels, my man!

[@jerem0621]

Josh, loved the video! I love riding my bike. I put it to work in my life. I check the mail, I go pick up stuff from the store. I’m making the motorcycle part of my life. Not just a Sunday Afternoon cruise. It’s a cheap $2500 Shadow 750 and I love it! I’m loosely planning long rides. Meaning one day I’m just gonna wake up and point the bike and go.

[@Sherry-jx9hs]

Crater Lake is an old volcano that collapsed and now is filled with water. Clear blue water but you have to drive into the lake from the highway but it is epic when you get there

[@edgejerry1300]

Need a big heads up before you come back to Oregon so all of us can ride up and hangout. I'm down in salem myself and wouldn't mind riding out for part of a trip. Good luck on the trip.

[@PLOOTO13]

That wasn't the Crater Lake ;) what you've seen was the Upper Klamath Lake I guess cause it's next to road 97 :)

[@murrelldooms7982]

You really have to love it when people get together and ride. Does not matter what you ride or how long you have rode. JUST THAT YOU CAN GO RIDE TOGETHER. ENJOY YOUR DAY.

[@ChuckPackwood]

I was Born in Washington State, and grew up riding around that area. Living in Tampa makes me miss the hills

[@Smokeinmebury]

I haven't been on a group ride. The only other rider I personally know is my dad, and his bike is in pieces right now being rebuilt. I could go to bike nights around Phoenix and meet people... But I don't like most people enough to put forth the effort. I've gone on a few 200+ mile trips myself thanks to you, for the indirect encouragement to not only buy a bike but to go on longer trips even if it's alone.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Even if it’s alone! I do plenty of solo trips, I like them just as much as group trips just for different reasons

[@philgman]

i had a couple dirt bikes as a kid but didn't touch a bike again until i was 43. been riding 10 years now and I'm on my 3rd bike. when I meet people who say "gosh, i'd like to ride" I say just get a bike and ride. Don;t wait, do it! And Oregon rocks! Those people be weird and fun! And the local herb is kinda ok, not as good as our local BC bud, but ok.

[@bybikenw7928]

That’s wild. I was just at that gas station in Lapine last month.

[@Silenttreatment1975]

Good choice and Charities I was abused in foster care in the seventies and eighties and it made things a lot worse than they were already. Foster families like that create serial killers. Another great Mission another great cause bless you brother. Charles

[@beardedcatguitarplus9485]

Great video man. I hear you on “get bike and get out”. Hahahaha I have four and still since I’ve started watching your videos sooooooo long ago I haven’t gotten any running. Honestly started collecting these old rusty bikes because of your channel. Didn’t have a single bike before then. I’m trying really hard to get one running so it’s rideable to try to meet up next time you’re in Oregon ( I’m in baker city, you two come out this way I’ll take you up to a dispensary that’s a fun twisty mountain ride ). Keep up the great videos and be safe bro. Thank you for your channel

[@garyhuddleston2763]

Next time yet in Portland have the locals take you out to the dalles,beautiful ride!

[@LadyTam55]

Be going on group ride Saturday for MIA/POW be the biggest one yet as over here when I take off its me and BB my chi. Just to go shopping it's 120 miles round trip or more. I hook up a small cargo trailer behind my trike as it's just more fun and saves money. My truck is a diesel so it likes to drink. Or someday I go up in the mts for lunch. Got over 11000 miles in a little over a year. So get out there and ride.

[@kaylera1]

1st group ride for me was well over 100 bikes for March of dimes poker run. I was smack dab in the middle. A bit nerve wracking, but ended up being fun. Those foothills remind me of heading East out of the Black Hills of South Dakota.

[@revjimmyjam3611]

I'm 41 and just bought my 1st bike (2014 Honda Rebel 250) at the end of June. I've wanted to learn to ride for 20+ years, and I finally pulled that trigger. NO REGERTS! Buy the damn bike!

[@michaelleiser9229]

It's such a trip seeing you in Bend. Just moved from Bend to AZ for MMI. Wish I could've been there to ride down with you and show you the good spots!

[@welshmotorcyclerides350]

If it's got snow on it it's a fricking mountain ...... You are so right about making friends through Motorcycles....

[@DonnyT744]

You're absolutely right Josh. Get the bike and ride. 200 miles in Oregon covers a ton of beautiful scenery. Also 50 miles in Portland can sometimes feel like 200.

[@ssmit80]

I liked your comments on age and starting to ride. I finally got my step das to start riding at the age of 63 a couple years ago. He's loving it now, and already on his 3rd bike.

[@markmcintosh7095]

I never used to worry about hitting deer until I got older. Now it crosses my mind. Fun channel you guys are the best channel.

[@vikingplumber9541]

Awesome to see a fellow Valkyrie rider in one of your videos! I walked away from motorcycles for 20 yrs, but when I found my Valkyrie 3+ years ago, I had to jump back in the saddle! I love almost all bikes, but the Valkyrie just has a special place in my soul... But seriously, It doesn't matter what bike speaks to your soul, just BUY THE DAMN BIKE!!!

[@TurnipGreen]

Love your videos bro! I learned to ride 2 years ago when I was 47. My first bike was a 2014 Fatboy Lo. No regrets

[@haneymoto]

Your adventures are amazing Josh. I feel like every time I watch one of your videos I'm adding to my bucket list.

[@patklemmensen1694]

if you get a chance to, ride over the 'Going to The Sun' highway (aka the Logan Pass) in Montana... been on it in a small car, it was quite the drive...

[@seanjenkins5861]

Josh it was a great ride with you and chey hopefully we can do it again soon

[@mikedanaher3413]

Nothing worse than a collision with a deer. Glad y’all got a room finally and got some rest. Wishing you both a happy and safe trip. 👍

[@TheFred1952]

That's 100% right. It is like you're a personal friend. Even though we have never met. You have an amazing personality. And so does Chey

[@sbassmonkey]

What are the fuzzy seat covers I keep seeing on your long distance rides?

[@honda200twinstar3]

Hey Josh great video as usual ..and what ya said about going out a meeting ppl .i have no problem parking the bike at a convenience place having a coffee ,and a group of bikes comes in or just one ,and ill stroll over and say hi, where y'all from ?and start chatting about their bike .. on a rare occasion ill get a not so friendly vibe .to witch ill just say you all have a great and safe one ..but most time everyone is friendly and reciprocates in the conversation .

[@okcpainter4057]

That's awesome man I love Portland my best friend lives up by Mt. Hood be safe have fun buddy

[@bikerbrian6452]

You just love those tall trees!

[@wcraiderevo8078]

Got my first bike, an 81 Honda 750 Custom when I was 37. Went across the country on it. Came back on a 81 Suzuki 850G. Do it, buy the damn bike! Go on trips, short ones, long ones. Currently have a 97 Heritage and 18 Lowrider...

[@miller4057]

I’m still talking about the group ride!!! Great day!!!

[@sharkboy_twentytwo8155]

Bend is gorgeous. I’ve had several Smith Family Reunions there. Several family members live around that area. Still don’t know how the hell I ended up in Texas. 😱

[@davidrose415]

It sucks the pre order ending tomorrow. I was going to order one but I don't get paid till next Friday.

[@TeddCookerly]

Dude I just met Dave the owner of the Valkyrie last week. He bought some pegs off of me for his newly acquired VRod! Super cool dude!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Nice!

[@mauricegardner4101]

Damn, what a trip! Have Cheyleesi install a Cardo, Sena, or other helmet audio setup. Much more comfortable than earbuds.

[@ChaseJasperDown]

Oregon is one of my favorite states to drive in.

[@treyr3592]

37 and just recently bought a 2014 C50T. I’m addicted

[@edwardvanvalkenburg3254]

Howdy Josh, been watching for 2 years only and I'm from a family of riders. Best Best video yet!!! I love the forgotten Angels as well!!! Rubber side down and Thank you Thank you for your passionate motorcycle life.

[@motorhead1884]

I did I bought the bike about 6 months ago 2000 buell thunderbolt s3t with the bags and under 22k miles when I got it. Best decision I ever made

[@victoryrider]

I'll be 46 next week. Got my 1st street bike May of last year. Only think I wish got it years ago.

[@joeblow8893]

Bro, I don't think you were at crater lake. It is a crater, and I belive if I remember correctly its the cleanest lake in the country! I live like 40 minutes from crater lake!!doing the annie creek run tomarrow!

[@TheRoadGlideRider]

Ride with friends. Ride alone. Just ride and enjoy! 🏍💨🏍💨

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Hope you didn't need what every that was in cup holder that flew out

[@WizardOfVolusia]

Those mountains are beautiful dude

[@CraigSmith568]

I didn't even know they made these in a 650 and I was around when they were new. Funny thing is I prefer to ride alone and I never listen to music when I ride. Just goes to show you.

[@appalachainrider5961]

Mom used to say, "Brass Ovaries!" Crater Lake on Mushrooms is a great combination.

[@wildphiljohnson5336]

I never go that way klamath falls to reno. If you would of taken a left out side of la pine and taken the oregon outback and then before alturas california and the fruit check you take the road to gurlach nv burning man it comes out fernley/fallon nevada. Could of made it easily to Tonopah to clown motel descent hour.

[@fistfulofgoldwing]

Aw, man! Y'all were less than a mile from the last Blockbuster on earth at that SmashBurger!!! Great video, loving this series....

[@Paul20661]

18:50 yep same :(

[@kristophertrout7328]

🤔 I hope the the State of Oregon doesn't use self incriminating video evidence of littering. (3:15 minutes) 😁

[@bassplayer2011ify]

The Hobbes pin is awesome.

[@motomike71]

Have you considered getting a Cardo in helmet communications system for your Bluetooth music? If you both had them you could communicate with Chey. Would have been good when she went down and you were around the corner waiting for her.

[@blueheelerfriend8450]

Good Times!! ❤👍🐾🍻🤗

[@throttleandgrind]

Been to Bend a lot. Never ridden on 2 wheels there. One day…. Bought my first bike in 25 years because of this channel and a few others.

[@wildphiljohnson5336]

I ride those roads alot the i live in Madras. Lake Billy Chinook riding is bad ass. High Desert only have to dodge occasional deer. That section going up out of warmsprings a paramedic from bend hit a bear on his motorcycle and flew into a on coming winnebago. Rip

[@simon2knine]

Here in the UK i would have to travel from the south of England to the north of Scotland 5 TIMES to travel 4,000 miles. This tells me two things...The UK is small... And that you and Cheyleesi are two badass bikers.

[@aarondassow3942]

You found the coors light Mountain

[@Fasthi1]

That's Klamath lake 😂 sorry but I grew up in Klamath Falls. You have to go west up Mt. Mazama to see Crater lake which you should because it's something you can't unsee! Interestingly enough Klamath lake is the biggest man made lake in the United States! Keep it real brother and ride on👍👍✌️

[@MrRourk]

They got Owls up there big enough to carry Chey off

[@jspeerpls]

its crazy to think what used to be in them valleys

[@verablack3137]

In the 5 years I have been riding regularly my single biggest problem is that I am always cold, and it blows my mind how you are able to ride these huge trips especially at night without a snow bib and a heated jacket lol

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Trust me I’m cold! I’m also just ill prepared and stupid 😂

[@MonsieurToffeln]

"there are fires everywhere... there is also burning man" xDD

[@Kevin-ns6ig]

Hey can anyone tell me the address to the p.o box?

[@blockocheese9730]

Fun fact: bend is the home of the last blockbuster. I swear Oregon is paying you to take off from their state

[@SportyRider]

Before I met my wife, I had saved to buy my first motorcycle. The girl I was with at the time talked me out of it. Thank God we didn't work out lol. When I met my wife, she already had a Sportster and didn't ride. It is now my first and only bike. I started riding at 38 and I have her to thank for it. I wish I had started many years ago and I know I won't ever regret a dime well spent on it.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I love this story :)

[@jimdiamondcoles]

I really liked the outro - it hit home.

[@davidvanbeek7761]

wagon south ...love it man. The motorcycle community you talk of is the same motorcycle community I have been around my whole life, sure its has been paved with rutts and potholes (dickheads) but cut from the same cloth and medical cannabis has a huge place along with this group of people just as much... So glad I found your videos big brother. Sending the most hugest vibes from Australia like ever!

[@bamills6771]

I have met 3 wonderful groups on Facebook to ride with. 1 is an off-road adventure group. I have a ride every weekend.

[@BillTheHarleyGuy]

hell yeah man i love watching your adventure videos , you know me, i love riding adventures from Michigan to Florida is always a great adventure. who knows maybe one day i'll make that Portland ,Oregon ride 👍

[@bigjohnstud3870]

If you ever come to smackover Arkansas hit me up!!! Lol!!! I'm 46 years old and started riding a year ago after watching your videos!!! You honestly inspire me and make me want to ride a motorcycle!!!!(:

[@Firestorm637]

Have you seen Mount Rainier, huge volcano

[@TheBurningDonut]

BRUH I just moved out of Bend and THEN you visit? My poor heart!

[@kk2into194]

The scenery is so majestic out of the city tho.

[@NicholasRoselliTravels]

So sweet ride on y’all

[@imperialcre8tive]

RIDING DOWN THE OLD I5..! CHECKING IN FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. NEXT TIME YOUR UP THIS WAY TRY TO RIDE HWY299 FROM REDDING TO HUMBOLT COUNTY NEXT TIME (EMERALD TRIANGLE) RIDE, LOTS OF SWIMMING HOLES. YOU SHOULD MAKE A STRAIN CALLED "SHADETREE OG" SOUTH FLORIDA OG X OREGON GRAPE. THAT WOULD BE EPIC.

[@grumpylang49]

At 47 finally got the bike. Now wonder why I waited. Got a Harley dyna super glide
