- Welcome to Joy Machine, a motorcycle adventure show about camping and enjoying nature on two wheels. In this episode, Calen and Nika's plan to explore the ghost towns of northern Washington is "kiboshed" when their motorcycle has an unexpected break down that leaves them stranded on a lonely back road. However, the road was not as lonely as they thought and before long they were back on the road headed towards their campsite where they would sleep under the stars with only blankets and each other for comfort.
Thanks for watching and consider subscribing to catch the drop of future episodes.

Some highlights for me: Nika showed us the planned route on a map, Calen’s morning walk while Nika sleeps, and dropping campground fee into the old rusty box slot. And of course, the abandoned house. Nice, helpful man reminds us there are good people everywhere.

Hey Victoria, thanks so much for checking out the channel and for your wonderful comment, it really means a lot. I appreciate the feedback too, I too prefer the rawness of it as well. We miss you, looking forward to seeing you soon!!
I've always heard that if a bird crapped on you it was good luck......well I guess that went out the window with the bike and all. Glad you got it fixed. Love hereing the loons.With the fuel prices the way they are, we are parking the truck and fithwheel and getting the bikes out. We are gearing to head south to Big Bend Texas in November and then along the coast down to the Keys. Safe travels. 🐕🙋🙋♀️
Haha yes I wish it was lucky haha. Ya those loons were so cool. Taking the bikes sounds like a good plan, sounds like a fun trip in the making. Have a blast!
Love when you show the route on a paper map.
Calen and Nika these videos are great! I agree with others that they don’t need improving. You have a unique style to them and it’s spot on. Thank you for taking time to create and share the content.
Thanks a lot Tim, it's our pleasure. That is really helpful feedback. We appreciate it.
Another Great Video. So much beautiful scenery. Great people out there willing to help out when one needs it. Keep up the great travels.
Thanks Paul, sure are many great people out there, agreed.
The loons probably had a nest close buy and you where getting to close for there liking. Very nice video!
I think so too - thanks for watching!
p.s. just found you, enjoying your “learning curve”. I’m 75 and have camped from my bike for a good few years. Enjoy, it will get MUCH better.
Love the capturing and editing! Yall broke down in the perfect place, super cool that guy helped yall!
Thanks very much! Ya we were thinking that too just how perfect it all worked out considering the chances, really couldn't believe it. Was such a cool guy!
loving your channel, and thanks for the longer video.
Hey thanks a lot Eric!
Bonjours superbe vidéo , gros bisous du Nord-Ouest France Normandie 25°😘😘😘😘
Hey thanks so much! All the best to you! Cheers.
Very pretty Country. Bike sounds good too
Thanks Bob, agreed, yeah so much beauty here in the US.
Cool repair. Good work.
Thanks Tom, yeah glad it worked out in the end.
I’ve followed many motovloggers over the years. Many from the beginning and now are very prominent in the field and corporate sponsoring.
You will be blowing up soon I have a feeling.
No matter what be true to yourselves that’s what’s important. You have the skills in film and editing. And you are living many peoples dream.
First video , will be pouring over your content .
Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! We really appreciate the encouragement and positivity. I agree, being true to ourselves is most important and something to be aware of no matter what happens. Thanks for watching BigDan!
Great vid guys
Thanks a lot Floyd!
If a guy cleans bird poop from your head, yeah, that's love. Enjoying your vids... and the accents????... near Quebec / Ontario border I'm thinking.. and the adventure never begins until you strap the bike down on a ferry, even if for a simple river crossing..
haha Thanks Richard! We are Canadian (from central Canada, prairie provinces). I did not know our accents sounded that strong, well done.
Nice people around you .Keep safe on the road..
Sure are, we were lucky! Thanks very much, you as well. All the best!
Gorgeous country. Love the old school paper map. Only stopped using them a few years ago myself. Update on bike on instagram?
Sure is a beauty, agreed! Ya we thought we'd bring a paper map just in case no service and lone behold it did come in handy once er twice. I will post an update on it on their shortly. The new HD progressive shocks are installed and feel nice n stiff!
Great video guys keep them coming. Be safe out there.
Thanks a lot for the encouragement Ray, will do! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Really good vibe. Im from ontario now in BC. Sickles are the best!
Yes they are! Thanks for watching.
Great scenery Wyoming offers you and great raods to ride. Yes I like your content, it is pure and really basic for bikers,. And if something happens there is always help ...!
Thanks Tim! I have not rode in Wyoming but hopefully will someday!
@@joymachinetheshow Hello Calen, actually I meant Waschington state where you were touring , is als great. The US scenery is great over there plus of course Idaho and Wyoming. All are on my list . Last time I was in the US i visited Arizona, Texas and California.. Cheers from the Netherlands..
@@timschouten4671 Hey Tim, I have heard great things about Wyoming, it is on my list as well, same with Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. That being said, the Netherlands and other parts of Europe are also on my list. I have never been. I have wondered about renting a Triumph or something over there and touring a bit. Switzerland looks cool too. Cheers!
@@joymachinetheshow The countries of the Alps are great..very goed roads with nice twisties and breathtaking views….
I would like to advise you to rent a bigger touring bike like the one you have or a road king or even a BMw All good for two up riding…
@@timschouten4671 Thanks for the tips Tim, I would love to do that one day.
I just started watching your channel again today. I appreciate your spartan style. Anyways, I live in Western Washington and ride an Electraglide. I love my big fat seat and bags...lol...but I just love your bike! I've been to a lot of these same places you've shown us here...but it's funny so many I've never seen before. I have seen that ferry on the map but never taken it. And Govan? Wth? Who'd have known that was just off the highway. This trip musta been early in the summer it's so green...great videos you guys. So glad that suspension popped back into place...❤❤❤
Oh awesome - yeah WA has so many beautiful spots for biking and camping! North of the ferry was a really beautiful ride, lush forest and beautiful landscapes. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
Another great video . 👍 love that Harley just the way it is 👌
Thanks very much David!!
I have just started watching your rides I love how you both make happen . I have gone back to the start and I am loving it.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for showing me where my next ride will be! I was thinking of heading to Montana in August, but I'm not sure I'm up for it and this looks perfect. Plus, it's a part of the state I've never seen. I was literally filming my screen with my phone to capture some of the map shots. I'd love to know the name of that campsite if you happen to remember it. Glad your bike got figured out, but those issues generally result in the best stories, right. It's amazing how helpful total strangers are when you're on a motorcycle. I think if everyone rode a bike the world would be a better place. Ride on. 🤙
Hey thanks for the awesome comments! I am really glad you found some of it helpful. The campground is called Beaver Lake campground, it's on Chesaw road. So much to see up there, we can't wait to go back to that area again. There are supposedly some cool ghost towns in that area too, one called Bodie for example, we just didn't get to it because of the breakdown. Montana sounds amazing too, have a blast with wherever you choose. I agree with everything you said, you meet the nicest people on a motorcycle for sure. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing your videos with us.
Hey, thanks for watching them.

You guys put up some really good stuff - simple adventures are the best. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! Will do!
I really enjoy your channel. I am from British Columbia Canada. Been on all the roads your showing, if you ever have a chance go to Troy Montana and you can camp right at the bar for free it’s a old biker bar . You won’t regret it
Thanks for the tip, that sounds great! Montana is on our list for sure so I'll remember that. BC has some great riding too, we hope to get up there as well at some point. Thanks for watching!
WOWWWWW!!!!! really enjoyed this one... The scenery of those roads is amazing!!! . Glad you manage to fix the hawg! Keep it going, this is only getting better and better! Ride safe! Best greetings from Los Angeles!
Hey Fernando, thanks a lot for watching and for the great comment! Appreciate the encouragement. Have a great weekend in LA, cheers!
:) JUst re-watched this and realized you are FAR from Manitoba 2 Wenatchee? ::) LOVE YOUR Shares and Videos as a retired old biker and CDN:) ALL THE BEST TO BOTH OF YOU! Cheers! :)
We are a long way from Manitoba now for sure! Thanks for watching!
always waiting for new videos)))
I appreciate it, thank you!!
Great filmin n sound.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Breakdowns, while not always fun, make for awesome stories. What happened with your shocks? Were they just totally worn out?
Completely agree! Yes just worn out I suppose, so I took them out the other day and installed HD progressive springs. I will be giving those a good test shortly.
Over here, a bird pooing on you , we say (I suppose to reduce embarrassment) its good luck.
maybe we could have a bake sale to get you a set of modern tires for the bike 😆
Haha 🤣
Love the videos. Man that bike sounds so sweet! What HD is it ? What motor? What pipes?
Its a 1999 FLSTC, evo motor, and the pipes came with the bike and don't have an identifier. Thanks alot!
2:06 Oh yea! Two OLD NON-ELECTRONIC BIKES. I can picture it now!!!! ....What if one was an old airhead BMW, EVEN? Can get 80's airheads pretty reasonable, and they are all great bikes, with a low center of gravity...it's what makes them great scramblers.
I like those BMWs and they do seem capable.
@@joymachinetheshow Check out the R75/5's and up. I see them going for a couple grand sometimes, still running fine. I'd like an R85/5. When I find the right one, I'm buying it.
@@DetroitMicroSound Man, so classic. A couple grand seems like a good price.👍
@@joymachinetheshow YT seems to be deleting my responses to you. 🤷🏽♂️🤔
Can you share more about your motorcycle? Was it a family members? How did you get into motorcycling?
Yes, good idea, I will share more in one of the videos sometime, but the motorcycle is a 1999 Harley Davidson, FLSTC (softail classic, evo motor). I bought it used off craigslist after moving to the states. I got into motorcycling because my brother (a big engine mechanic) was into it, so it was a way to connect with him mostly, then I grew to love it myself.
@@joymachinetheshow That's awesome, I can see it's not all original, and some customization has been done, all good, just saying, alot of character. It looks like many good times were had on it before you purchased it. I do also see many more good times will be had by you. Ride safe. Thanks for sharing!
@@jvfarm7792 Oh ya, the bike was stock when I got it, save for the air cleaner and maybe exhaust, and well used that's for sure. Thanks a lot, all the best to ya!
Hello, just stumbled onto your channel. I’m new to motorcycling, what are you riding? Thx from BC !
Hi there - I see you already found the bike details on the other vid. Thanks for watching!
Looks like your speedo's broken, eh?
What year is your Harley? How many cc. How many miles can 1 liter of petrol drive?
it is a 1999 FLSTC, 1350 evo. Gets between 40-50 miles per gallon I think.
Nope! It’ll be same as Govan ,Glasgow ,Scotland. Pronounced Guhvan , not GoVan. . 👌🏻for my penny-worth. 😉
There is no speedometer. What the speed you are going?
Yeah, we got it fixed in later vids
Bird poo happens.
Sure does!!
