So Yeah, This Happened!! • A New Harley In the Family! | MotoVlog 323

[@rb9998]

So true Shawn, every time I get a new bike, I end up riding it home in the rain. Still I love living in the PNW.

[@camouflage962]

Man... I am enjoying your videos.... so soothing.... thx for your efforts to share

[@jayputt7212]

just want to thank you and the "Mrs."...I've been watching your vlogs for a few months and finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2019 Spyder F3 Limited in July...it is my new work ride (80 miles roundtrip)...loving every moment...keep having fun and ride safe :)

[@Billimus1]

Your bike is beautiful 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 I’ve got a 2018 Sport Glide and I agree. The new Softails are so awesome. Congratulations on the Slim

[@jimwortham8634]

I can't believe I hit a button to look at a new Harley LOL LOL

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Jim!!

[@darrenwalsh6965]

Stunning looking machine! If I was in the market to buy a Harley I'd get this one, and in the same matt black. Enjoy the ride! Cheers from down under!

[@59kiel]

I’m an engineer for Union Pacific and that’s my route I’ll keep an eye out for you!

[@andrewedmond7738]

Good looking machine Shawn. Damn, I wish my wife would tell me to go buy another bike!! Great video as usual brother, and congrats on the Slim.

[@ArizonaRE]

The softail slim is really the only HD that catches my eye, very nice bike B-)

[@Doug_Morgan]

Again congrats on the new ride Shawn, she truly is a beauty.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Doug!!

[@glasgowharleyrider]

That m8 just purrs , and the take up looks impressive. Oh my

[@gustwowheeling7337]

That Softail Slim looks and sounds like it is all business, good stuff Smoak.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Gus!!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Shawn, I love seeing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest on your Rides. If I owned the Softail Slim I’d be riding the wheels off it.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks man!!

[@ncgirl535]

Hey there. Enjoy your videos. Harley Moon rider directed me to your channel. Absolutely love that bike!!

[@jhashmi2011]

funny how i have been looking at the 2018/19 softail slim! Great video. Love the about town ride.

[@TonysGarage]

Bought a 18 slim last year. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Great video!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Tony!!

[@crjmoto]

Nice ride! I worked up there a few months last summer, stayed with the nice people @ 10:05 lol

[@williamtaylor874]

Nice you deserve it enjoy my friend!

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

That is one nice bike Smoaks. Looks like it rides and sounds great. Makes me drool a little. Kelly is a good woman for doing that for you. 😎😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@Toni62R]

Bike, trains and great nature - you are a lucky man ! (And great video again)

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Toni!!

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Wow nice! Those M8 Harley's are bad ass.

[@elithegreat6463]

The little woman did right by you👍❤️, on letting you get the Slim. And the girls at that photo shoot were probably thinking, “Who’s this guy offering his Bike” 🤔🤨😂😂

[@ShawnSmoak]

Yeah she did..! I'm kinda thinking I may spooked those gals... Thanks!!

[@Mr12hollywood]

That is an awesome bike brother.enjoy, happy for you!

[@laurelv03]

Love your soft tail slim!!!. It is a classic looking motorcycle. Ride safe enjoy!!!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks!!

[@HooMeye]

Beautiful bike.

[@bigjames6719]

Nice new bike thank you for sharing be safe ride safe out there ❤️🔥👍🏍👊✌️😎

[@IsleofManbyDrone]

Good luck with the denim black. Had a denim black street bob! Soft as hell. Sneezing would scratch it. Harley even said it was meant to look shit when I tried a warranty claim. Sold the bike due to the paint. Will have a Harley again but never any kind of denim

[@ShawnSmoak]

This is my 3rd Black Denim Harley and I've had 100% fantastic luck with it... My Iron is over 6 years old, and the Street Glide Special survived a brutal 10 day Yellowstone trip - I was not kind to her. They always clean up easy and look absolutely flawless. Several friends (one with a Street Bob) have the same story to tell... Sorry you had issues with yours, that sucks! Thanks!!

[@HaXaW5150]

Smoak, I've never met a train stalker before. LOL!

[@tonyacehawk]

Hey Shawn....I love your videos.......commentary and all......but for us that have trouble falling asleep.....how about a half hour video of that sportster sound running down the road. Or better yet....crank it up....take off and just keep rolling for awhile. :)

[@steveh4564]

The Slim is the 1st HD I ever took a real interest in, the very first time I laid eyes on one. Although it’s a little small for me, it is responsible for my currently owning a HD (RKC) after a lifetime of metrics. Gorgeous timeless motorcycle. Enjoy!

[@ianasbiorn8657]

What a gorgeous Motorcycle!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Ian!!

[@daringeorge8812]

Nice bike. I enjoy your videos.

[@markhenry192]

I love that sound of the M8 starting up, such a cool sound. Beautiful bike Shawn. I rekon I might get one at some point in the future but I am torn between the slim and the lowrider. Thanks Shawn. p.s; kinda brave of you to ask those girls if they wanted to use the Slim for their photo shoot, but I think you may have freaked them out a bit lol!

[@Mr12hollywood]

Happy thanksgiving to you and family.

[@3percentmick705]

I've got a 19 slim also except in wicked red denim. Love mine too!

[@nobullziggster4070]

Cool ride brother...

[@albertosbrolla8424]

That’s a sharp looking machine! Great ride and saw a train! Does this bike have cruise control? Thanks for the ride!👍

[@ShawnSmoak]

No cruise control, but I don't care about those kind of things... Nice, but not necessary. Thanks Alberto!!

[@Love4boost]

I wish I could afford to bring home a deluxe to share the garage with my street glide

[@sebastianlaczewski63]

Biuty! That steering bar!

[@markfraser6307]

Nice bike love seeing the america countryside

[@garysmith9918]

Cool ride>>>>I was stationed @Ft Lewis back in the early 70's>>>great riding except come wintertime>>> :-)

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Gary!

[@shawnz6913]

Have Kelly try a Yamaha vstar 250. It is an amazing smaller bike!

[@NaYawkr]

Notice the roads never subjected to freeze-thaw cycles, so they are smooth. In New York we have patched, pot holed, endlessly defect loaded pavement everywhere. Also how few other vehicles he passes, not like NaYawk.

[@timothytmusgrove]

Hmmn, after watching that Indian Chieftain Dark Horse 116 cu.in video that is what I thought you'd end up with? But, the heart wants what is wants. Enjoy the ride...it's all good....

[@DeBa1226]

Bro, I’ve always loved that bike. 23 1/2” seat height, lowest riding HD.... where in Oregon did u land this bike? I always thought I’d put the HD Nostalgic Grips on the bars, lower the back about and inch and a half so that rear fender comes down over that rear tire a bit more and maybe some Vance & Hines staggered exhaust.

[@vintagetrk]

Love your videos. It is so gorgeous where you are.Are you in washington state? I am seriously considering moving to Washington just from watching your rides I love the rural areas and it seems like you have alot of cool roads out there.

[@ronpettit3200]

Does that need the heat shields on the motor

[@mohammedamin9198]

mine is 14 slim.... and I love it🥰

[@ShawnSmoak]

Cool..! Thanks!

[@joebouscaren1]

Like your videos, watching several on the R Ninet variants confirmed that I would like an Urban GS which I just purchased. You seem very positive on all the machines you ride: Harley's Beemers and Can-Am's. Your "soft-tail slim" is in some ways similar to the Urban GS. How would you compare the two?

[@brianheffernan8982]

I just traded my Heritage Classic in for a Softail Slim. Mine is matte white.

[@rrpstpie]

Have you thought about getting Kelly a Honda grom just to get her use to two wheels on the street?

[@brianblair7852]

You should have your wife ride the slim. I might be easier for her to handle do to it being lower slung and if she beeds more help have her look at the ride like that a pro videos it has helped me out tremendously happy trails

[@Robert-oq3ul]

Daggummit!!

[@ScratchBabble]

Good Lord that's a great picture. Is that the Hero 7 Shawn???

[@ShawnSmoak]

It's actually my old Hero 5 Black... I was using the Hero 6 earlier on the SGS BDay ride (on the daily vlog side), and just swapped to the 5 for this ride. I keep my Hero 7 Black in a vlogging mode, as it became about 20% unreliable for motovlogging after the last update. Not even GoPro could figure it out... But as a handheld, I can catch it whenever it locks up - no lost ride footage this way! Lol Waiting for the Hero 8!! Thanks Scratch!

[@55dennie]

Do ever wish you had gotten the 114? I’m in the market for a new bike and love the Deluxe, but thinking about the Lowrider S with the 114. I know the 107 has all the power I’ll ever need, but I don’t want my bike to be obsolete in a year either. Just asking your opinion. Thanks!! I have been a fan for many years.

[@adam6ism]

Very nice

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Adam!!

[@petertrapani8701]

Shawn thanks for the cool ride on the softail. What’s nice about a Softail it has that old look Harley but modern technology but still has that mechanical feel to it just like my heritage softail people at a light will ask me is that from 1960. Be Cool and Ride Safe🏍🇺🇸

[@TJRohyans]

I had to watch just to see if you were still gushing over it like you did when you brought it home on the daily vlog. You toned down a bit... just a bit. LOL! I don't blame you though, some bikes just do that to you I suppose. Peace and love.

[@ShawnSmoak]

There was a lot of gushing I cut out... Sometimes I get tired of my own self going-on about it. Lol Doesn't mean it wasn't there, it just hit the cutting room floor... But inside, I just want to go on-and-on about it, as I'm sure in love with this gal!! Thanks TJ!

[@TJRohyans]

@@ShawnSmoak, LOL! You're too much! Love ya Brother!

[@foxglove8836]

Nice looking bike, Have you been on any trips this year ?

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks! I did, in mid July... Here's the Plat List: kzbin.info/aero/PLodT_lQ80C6xU2dz_wqj2LMytjD7B60FI It was a ton of fun!!

[@DeBa1226]

By the way... you gotta subscribe to our brother... Jersey Nick Moto.... great content, this guy rides three Harley’s everywhere, loves our community, even vlogged his riding all lower 48 states, just an overall great guy... Jersey Nick Moto... he’d love your content too.

[@ronpettit3200]

Do you still have your Iron

[@ShawnSmoak]

Oh heck yeah..! They may end up laying her to rest next to me... Lol Thanks Ron!

[@ryanbruneau1197]

Shawn have you ever ridden the fatboy and if so how does it compare to this bike? Thanks and congrats on your beautiful softail slim!

[@fatguy8067]

The Slim is awesome, slowly becoming my Favorite, but then again do like the SGS & Iron, oh Crap. Apparently, Rob's no longer at Northwest HD, cause You dealed with Joey. I wonder if You've been seen by the same Train Engineer a number of times over the last few years and You're standing there and waving, with a different bike each time, like the different Spyder's, BMW's, all the Harley's, the DR and Ryker, that You've had as demo's or the few that You own. He's probably thinking this Dude, is gotta be Rich or related to Bill Gates. Thanks for taking Us for the ride.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Lol, never thought about the same engineer passing by..? I wonder... Rob got a job outside of the motorcycle world a couple years ago, something he couldn't pass on. Sure miss him being there! Thanks!

[@Hondadctrider]

First thing I would do is get rid of the shiny stuff.

[@ShawnSmoak]

I've seen too many that have done just that and the bike's shape style gets lost... Becomes a shapeless black blob. Cool if you like the full stealth look... Lol Thanks!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Ricky!!

[@Hondadctrider]

I'm just to lazy to polish the chrome, lol.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Chunkymonkey7 - Lol..! Man I hear ya there!!

[@GopherChoker.]

👍👍

[@dmmaid7917]

Love it Shawn...

[@3percentmick705]

You're what's known as a foamer to the railroad
