- California To Florida on A Poor Man's Harley. Riding a Honda Shadow 750 ACE 5,000 miles from CA to FL. A longer version of my ride across the country spanning California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The quote from the beginning means Here be dragons from old maps meaning these areas are unknown so they would assume dragons occupied the space. I have other videos of me doing cool stuff and I have other trips planned for the future.

A lot of you are salty because I called it a poor man's Harley. It's a joke I am not talking bad about honda shadows in anyway. For a bike that was only 3k and got me across the country I've developed nothing but respect for the Honda shadow and hope to let everyone know how epic of a bike it can be.
Redbeard The Kilted Rider I like the Phantom.
Nothing wrong with the title. Cool video
Except there were no dragons. Unless I couldn’t see because I’m not worthy!!
I ride a honda shadow love it. They just keep going. Great gas mileage . Ride on be happy😎🏍🇺🇸
Nothing wrong with a Honda! If you were on a Sportster, you would have never made it past Kansas! It would have broke ya know!
Harley or not... the fact that you did it on a bike with the bare minimum instead of on a bagger or goldwing is freakin badass. That's what I'm talkin about.
I’m planning on doing another one up to Canada this time on a Harley sportster so I’ll see how it goes!
@@redbeardthekiltedrider5608 Heck yeah, man!!
Hell Yea!
I rode from Ottawa through Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and up into Newfoundland ( and back) on my Bmw 800st last summer.
Funny how how every Harley rider I came across asked if I thought my bike was underpowered... yet they all looked like they were just heading out for coffee.
What saddle tramp said👆
It really is a beautiful country isn't it. Doesn't matter what you ride, it only matters that you ride.
I'll drink to that
FourQed, you get it!!!!!!! Back issues put me on a Trike some years ago, about 2007. The wind, the open air, it's exactly the same! I've done trips since then of over 1200 miles one way. A rush to this day. Thank you for "getting it".
Even a moped thats missing brakes
@@supernova6177 if you dont plan on stopping lol
Amen!
Yep. I've ridden a bike across the country a few times and that is what it's like.
It's not as easy as anybody thinks. It's not as hard as anybody thinks. And it's more valuable than anybody thinks.
It's always different than expected. But it's a priceless memory.
I cycled the great divide back in 2007, epic memories,
I plan to attempt to ride across Canada with a few friends when I get my bike.....Can't wait
bre08005 I lived in Florida and ride motorcycles as my primary Transportation year round but I still haven't gotten to take a cross-country trip yet but I want to so bad
Hi,
I wacthed your this video.
I'm JAPANEASE,
living in TOKYO JAPAN.
First,
Thank you for your riding on japanease mede BIKE.
Many Americans say that
''You need Harley,''
''You need a bike with a larger displacement,''
I understand that there is such an opinion.
definitely,
Harley Davidson is a very good motorcycle.
I love too.
But,
Harley with a large displacement when riding in the United States
The difference with your Honda should not be so great.
For us,
The most important thing is
- KEEP ON RIDING -
That's it all.
I think so.
Because I do not understand English
Most of this sentence was translated by GOOGLE.
こんにちは
あなたはあなたのために外国語で答えるのに時間がかかったので、私はその恩恵を返すことにしました。
私もGoogleを使っているので、それがどれほど正確になるかはわかりません。
しかし、ビデオを見てくれてありがとう、そして今私はHondasを特に尊敬していることを知っている
私は乗り続けることについてあなたに同意します。ご覧いただきありがとうございます。
私はいつか日本に旅行するのに十分幸運であることを願っています、そしてあなたがアメリカを訪問できることを願っています
このメッセージにエラーがある場合はご容赦ください。
May the road come to meet you and may the wind always be at your back!
I do think the Honda fury is the best looking bike. Better than a Harley when it is stock.
I love my yamaha vstar 1100, Japanese make great motorcycles you people are definently doing something right ( hopefully wrote it so it's easy to translate )
Whatever, you squids love old Harley choppers.
Even Americans have a saying. " if you like working on motorcycles own a Harley, if you like to ride own a honda." Lol
And THIS is why we ride, for the open road, for the tacho needle touching red, for the bugs in your teeth, for the sight of strange places, for sunrise AND sunset in one day, for the ticking sound of a cooling motor and for the memories and tall tales told round a campfire. Aaaaah.
I believe I've got a bug for this. I'm planning on doing another big ride to Canada this May so i'll get another story under my belt!
And the women that show their boobs when we ride past.
theaussiegunnut - I agree with all except, here in Cal. There hasn’t been campfires allowed in over 10 years or so...
We also ride for the bendy bits -WHERE ARE THEY😳😉
Gary Bowen we don’t follow unjust laws. We’re good people but we live our lives free of paranoia from which laws we may be breaking and which we’re not.
Google says this trip would take about a day and a half to complete...this guys does it in 8 minutes. What a legend.
Much respect for making this journey on a 750 and no WINDSHIELD. Great accomplishment.
I agree No Windshield was Great
Full face helmet, better than a windshield. Do 5000 miles in a "Skid Lid". Now that's bikin'. Props for the 750 though.
I was thinking the same thing!
V v
When you wear a full faced helm you don't really need a windshield. I'm doing the same thing soon! Can't wait
you should have captured the state welcome signs as you entered
them :-)
I haven't ridden cross country since the advent of GoPros, but I have almost been run over more than once trying to get a picture of the bike in front of state line signs.
5000 miles in 10 days means 500 miles per day... you my friend are the winner of the Iron Butt award, no doubt about it. 🏍
500 miles a day, I think I can do that. Can a Honda Rebel 500 do that?
too fast, gotta be carefully
It is a great feat, however 500 a day is Tin Butt, Iron Butt is 1000. Still some real riding stamina. God bless the Shadow, my 1st bike and still have it alongside my other Hondas, Yamaha, and Vulcan. A Harley's envy. ;).
I read someone’s page a while back and he was describing going to California to Connecticut on a BMW back in 2001. In a 12 1/2 hour span he covered 779 miles of the story is anything to go off of. The way it’s told I could see it. Apparently he was so sick of it by then and couldn’t bring himself to stay in another hotel room that last night that he just kept going
Wow. That's like from Baltimore to Detroit 500 miles
5 thousand mile trip with no windshield you're a true man
One man, His Bike, and the Road......bro thats a dream! Respect! Go on Buddy! For all the men, WHO never can do this! Greets from germany
Most of us Dream of a trip like this , you sir have lived it .
It's about the journey !
I'll hopefully be reliving it again in May with my trip up to Canada on my Sportster!
A 750 is too small blah blah blah you need a bigger bike for long trips blah blah blah
Epic ride, man...all my respect!
I bet someone out there has done it on a 250
@@redbeardthekiltedrider5608 there is someone who did with a honda c90 from alaska to argentina 90cc
Complexi 😂 I knew there was some crazy bastard out there who'd do something like that! Does he have a youtube channel or anything because that's something I'd like to see!
@@redbeardthekiltedrider5608 ye c90adventures is his channel
I mean you can do it on a moped and people have done it one mopeds, and Groms too, but, to be comfortable on the highway you want a heavier bike to handle the crosswinds and enough power to cruise 80+ and pass people on your own terms so you dont have big rigs blowing by you all the time. Ive ridden on the highway on bikes that really shouldnt have been there and it was a bit scary at times, when a semi blows by you and the wind damn near throws you off the road you get a little tingle in your gut you know...
My older brother Addison use to say the whole motorcycle experience is in the saddle behind the handlebars.
How right he was......
He was very right!
Addison

No windshield....man, you're hardcore!
Planning on riding my sportster up to Canada this May without a windshield so we'll see how i handle.
I am a Motorcyclist and I respect everything two wheeled. It doesnt matter what you ride as long as you ride. You get all of my respect for making this journey and not only do you have the memories but you have beautiful video. RESPECT.
Richard Cardone This
Unless it's a scooter though
As a Harley Davidson rider all I can say is this video proves that it does not matter what you ride thanks for sharing your adventure
You might enjoy this feature length Film on what it is like to ride a motorcycle around Australia. th-cam.com/video/ep0gmY1d85s/w-d-xo.html
I will save this off to watch later in the evening. Looks wonderful!. At first I presumed it was one of Million Dollar Bogan's epic rides.
That was great to see! I've wanted to take the trip in the opposite direction, and it's great to know it can be done on a Shadow (I've got an Aero). Thanks for posting this!
I've stopped talking bad about Honda all because of the shadow. It's a super dependable bike!
Once again, I admire these guys who have the guts to take long trips...ALONE! Takes a lot of courage. Kudos!
I'm gonna be taking a longer trip in May solo, and hopefully it goes well!
@@redbeardthekiltedrider5608 wish you a safe road!
That's no poor mans bike, brother. I've rode a Hondas for 17 years and I'd never ride anything else. Harley riders say Honda riders are spoiled 😄. I wanna ride it, not work on it 😉👍
Just my two cents worth ride what you want just ride
No I like it cold and rainy when I ride. Dipshit.
rider how do you know you have to work on it when you've never ridden anything else? Don't talk down on any motorcycles giving the fact that all you've ever ridden is a Honda. I've never ridden a Honda so I couldn't open my mouth about it just because I hear people talk about either their good or bad experiences on one. Ride safe bro
Holy shit you can't even compliment a guys bike anymore with all these fuckin snowflakes looking to get offended by something totally inoffensive.
@@ModernGentleman well.... were all love or bikes. Can't we all just get along!....lol
In '77 I made that trip on my 305 Honda Scrambler. What a blast.
I did 5500 miles in 21 days on my Heritage. I called it a “Don’t live a life with regrets tour!”
Exactly
Great stuff!...It doesn't matter in the slightest which brand you are riding...a ride is a ride. I ride a Kawasaki VN900 Vulcan Classic..why?...because I love it. It has never let me down...
My wife rides a Yamaha V-Star XVS650 Classic...
Cheers
I did a similiar trip california to georgia and back on a Honda shadow 750 my man! I had a windshield tho hahha much respect will never forget it, best time of my life!
Honda shadow's are just awesome bikes
Great ride and video, love the purr on these things. It's a lot of bike for what you pay. I'll definitely get one soon. Thanks for posting
Only cost me 3k and got me across the country
You sir, are living the dream! Thank you for taking us on your journey. I'm determined more than ever to get my motorcycle endorsement. I MUST RIDE!!!
Great video. Very neat to see the change in landscape..... It would be cool if you had a little map down in the corner with you route and have your dot move as the video played, so we would know a little more about where the scenes were.... Still a fantastic ride. I hope you have many, many more trips. Thanks for taking us along.
Honda vs Harley .. ill take the Honda any day of the week ..
I've had both . I kept the Honda .
1/4 the price and 1/4 the maintenance issues. Japanese bikes all the way.
Well good for you.
650 Yamaha for me.😎
Back in the 1960's, 70's,and 80's, a poor man's Harley was a Triumph.
triumphs actually cost more in the 60s than a harley import fees and tax made them pricy
@@perfectfan2006 This was in the USA.
@@redrooster1908 yes..
Awesome video. I really enjoyed the camera angles and views you captured. Good music too. I have subscribed and can’t wait to see more of your content.
I put 30K miles on my Honda Shadow 600 VLX.
Anthony G
ive put 167000 miles on my 95 Harley roadking with no problems and still riding it.✌
my husband has 3 bigger road bikes as a daily driver he likes his 600 the most he likes the 4 speed gearbox his will go about 100 mph not bad for a 600
I am 71, retired and plan to do this trip on my KTM Super Duke R, I am ready, gassed up, pumped up, just have to ask the Mrs. If I can go, she dosen't like me riding solo, my best riding is done alone , wish me luck.
Nice video. Thanks for taking us along.
The goal is to do it again in May
Redbeard The Kilted Rider Excellent, the trees in California should be green and the scenery will be better,not to mention warmer trip. Are you taking a different route for a scenery change? I'm doing a partial route 66 run this June and joining some friends for some riding in Utah. This video just stoked the fire.
I like how you added flash photos to the end, nice job. Ride smart and have a great trip.
You're a Viking, bro!
I can only wish
It is pretty incredible... For us europeans we have to go to other countries to see different sights, but the US has it all in one packet
I work at a Harley Davidson shop. Over 90percent of or customer don't have the ball's to do this. You sir a a TRUE biker!
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Somehow youtube has brought me here. What an amazing adventure you had. Cheers from Brazil.
Raphaell Glau thanks for watching
When I saw the title I was like wtf? A harley can't even make that journey without breaking down. Then I noticed it was a Honda lol
@Wayne Smith nope. Not my opinion. Look up any reliability stats and you'll see Harley is on the lower end, below Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki...etc.
@Wayne Smith lol you're going to tell me "if that makes you feel better" after stating a fact then follow up with an emotionally driven and subjective opinion? That's funny. I actually like Harley's, too. Especially the new Fat Bob, I am not sure if their Milwaukee engines are also less reliable, I am strictly talking about Evos
Wayne Smith isnt Indian older. Yes they closed down a long time ago till Polaris but still thought they were older
Harley Davidson has been in nonstop production for 116 years for a reason. They've been in really bad financial situations but still. 116 years and still going strong. Idc how unreliable people think they are, they're doing something right.
@@Msalazar6sicVI lol......troll
I love these bikes. I had a Shadow Spirit and I miss it all the time. Such a smooth and comfortable ride. Also very affordable! 1500-2000$ for a nice used one all day!
I got mine for 3k and it was worth every cent
Epic. Thanks for sharing!
That is great to see good inspiration!👍👍
Just got a Honda CBR600RR, my ass is numb just imagining a trip like that on a sport bike.
exactly what i was thinking lol
I've had just about every brand of bike and the Honda Shadow is still my number one reliable everyday riding bike
Amazing journey! I'd luv to go on a ride like this. Definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing. :)
My Hat is off to you! This is an incredible journey I could only dream of doing on my bike.
Hey you can make that dream a reality regardless of the bike you ride. You just need the time planning and a little bit of lady luck!
Been riding a 99 Shadow 750 for 20 years. Kept saying I was gonna “upgrade” but I realized years ago that my experiences and miles don’t mean any less just because it’s not a Harley,Victory, or Indian
Please don't say "'99 Shadow 750 for 20 years" makes me feel OOOLD + I refuse to believe that 1999 is already 20 years ago.
I have a 98 with 39k on her
I've got a trip next month to Omaha on my 2018 road king.
I can't wait.
Dennis Morris
hope the mess is cleaned up before you get there. ✌
Hope ya have fun and ride safe
Check out the SAC museum while your there,
This is the best cross country vlog in my opinion no talking about nothing just the views and a glimps into your memories
I did it on purpose like that. A lot of people tell me I should vlog but I'd rather show and not tell.
Hats off to you Ma Lordship! Haha...Ride on Hombre!
ive had the same bike.. it was a great bike ..
nice vid too
I ride a harley bagger and a BMW1200 adventure bike. I would have taken my Beemer for that ride. Good job on doing it with what you had....well done
Glad to see im not the only one who will spread my wings out on a 750. 04 750 aero.
Dude, great vid very well done. Never boring,thanx.
Great video! That's on my bucket list to go cross country on motorcycle.
The best advise i can give is to just go for it with the right planning of course.
Me too....
68 people don't have and never will have any music, poetry, sense of wonder or magic in their souls
Really good man, a fantastic trip.
It isn't what you ride or the destination.. it's the journey my friend.. Very impressed, I have done this a few times and it is always been an incredible experience
Shadow 750. You mean the wealthy guys AERO 80 Scooter. Glad you made it.
LOL nice good one
Sick video man! I loved my shadow but I traded up for my dream bike lol Indian Chief DH I definitely am going to get another shadow and bob it out!
I almost bought an Indian but ended up with a Harley now after the Shadow.
America is so beautiful 😍 All the nature, looks special:) Great trip
That's a good workout for that Honda, you know you will make it there! That is pretty bad-ass, going straight up no windshield riding!
Man I've got so many questions, like how much did it cost you, fuel wise, food wise, tire change, where did you sleep, etc... Anyways, great video man, thanks for sharing!
I was wondering the exact same
The open rode, on an iron horse.
There’s nothing like it.
I am not in the states .But one ride I took on my 98 wide glide here in UK still sits in my memory .I rode home from Devon 240 miles to.my house one winters day 15 years ago in Very cold but dry January day .I thundered past Stonehenge as the sun set behind that ancient stone age monument.The sound of the Bike and the sight as I went past is something I won't forget .
Congratulations on your trip that was my first bike I ever had I recently moved up to a Harley custom. But I will always love the Shadow Ace.
Whatever motorcycle you're on is just bad ass to travel on and have videos,pictures man, I am so jealous of you. Way to go and ride on mi amigo, vaya con Dios.....😎
One Brazilian guy going to Alaska with a Yamaha CG 125cc...
The CG125 is a Honda, isn't it?
I wish him good luck
Be proud of your HONDA
Seems like an epic ride to me 👍
Legend ✌️
Why so much hate for HD, I bought a sporty and put 15k miles on it in first year of ownership I never really had any problems
I have a harley Sportster now to!
Those 750's run good. Plenty of power. Don't know why it is a big deal he did it on a 750.
Thank you I never got why people were so surprised that I did it on a 750. It felt like the bike was made for it!
Had a 1984 Honda Shadow Man has some good times on that bike boy do I regret getting rid of it hope someone's enjoying it the way I did
I had an 85 500. I miss it as well. It's still going strong!
A epic journey thank you for bringing me along you have bigger balls then I have great video hope the trip home was just as good
The only thing Harley has over any metric bike is the sound
don't forget the cost.
I got rid of my Harley I'm at the age where I don't even like the sound anymore.
Meh I love the sound of a Roadstar better
Harley Davidson's are available in so many categories and prices, they are wonderful if you just give them a chance I use to be a hard core Harley hater and shit talker, boy was I wrong, I regret my ignorance about Harley Davidson.
I will nvr own a different brand. And I came from bmw...
See....better than a harley,,and that bike will do it again and again ...great job bro,,,amazing memories eh?? I regret no video on some iv done as the memories roll around in my head still 🤝👍✌
jay katcher so will a Harley many times. Grow up.
My buddy had one of these. I rode it a few times. It's a very comfortable bike. A little under powered but I can see it being a great bike to soak up the miles with. A cross country ride like this is on my bucket list.
It’s definitely worth doing at least once in your life
The coolest video i've seen this year! thanks for sharing us !
Finally, am i right?
we waste our years working, all our lives.
Sockpoppet I’m always thinking that too. I should do something crazy like that, on a bike or a car go across country because life is short to be working constantly nonstop.👋
@@javyg4336 👋
We do the things we have to do, so we can do the things we want to do. I love my motorcycles, but work is the only way I can afford them. 🤘
Poor mans Harley?! What's a poor mans?; There's no such thing. *Gasp* I have those handle bars. *Quick inhale* I have those mirrors! Those controls look familiar. Is that? Is that a Honda Shadow? *Scrolls into description* Hey! It's a Honda Shadow. Fk yea. Good job my man.
Nice ride. Thanks for sharing. That's some good time in the wind. I've done cross country on a Harley, a Triumph 900, even a 400 Yamaha Special (seemed like a good idea at the time...you can't tell an 18 year old anything, btw). The bigger the bike, the easier the ride, but I don't regret a mile of any of it.
A Yam 400 special eh?
That would be the old air cooled twin. A buddy had one of those. A solid design that will carry a rider hundreds of miles per day.
Small bikes for travel? Check out Ed March, he rides a Honda 90 across continents!
His videos are a hoot to watch.
I've owned old GoldWing, Yam Venture, Yam XS 1100, PC 800, all great for big mile days but I had great long trips on 550s and 650 singles as well.
Craziest long day was 480 mi on a 77 Yamaha DT 400
2 stroke single. That thing surged so badly that you were forced to hold the throttle in one exact position for the entire journey. I won't ever forget that day. My '68 Triumph 500 with drum brakes, prehistoric Amal carbs and 3 candle power headlamp was a luxury ride compared to that DT 400! Hehe
Safe travels
So cool dude!!! Thanks for sharing this epic trip. I enjoyed watching your video. Your bike is cool even if it is not expensive as harley. My first bike was a honda xl 125cc, 1977 and it was a lot of great memories. Big up to you
Its a Honda! but a lot of heart!
Isidro Garcia Siles I always said that about the bike
Dude very badass. I did a cross country trip as well on a suzuki c50. Metrics make better quality bikes in my own opinion. Either way makes you feel free.
I've never felt freer
All respect from Brazil.
Keep riding.
Always will
Awesome!!!!!! I stumbled on this because I been riding a 2009 Honda Rebel 250 since 2015 and looking to upgrade to something bigger. Amazing travels and video.
It's on my bucket list. But I'll be on a 1500 Goldwing.
the Honda 750 is NOT a poor mans Harley Honda is the best most dependable motorcycle around the bike desevers more credit than that you better be glad you were on a Honda to make that trip
I completely agree it's just a joke a salty biker told me. Thought it was funny considering I bought the bike for 3k and it got me across the country and I was happy I got to own a bike like the honda shadow.
sl1950 sl1950
It really is a poor mans Harley dude.
Is It reliable....yea most are. Will it get you where you’re going? Sure.
But is it a Harley?.... no
It’s a “shadow” of Harley’s greatnesses.
Sell your Honda, buy a Harley and become a man. That’s what I did😁
Jason LeGris I approve of this message 🙂
cinnreds18 got a friend who owns 2 Harlesden but goes nowhere on them another guy I know has a scooter who travelled from Ireland to southern Spain and he the man .
don't need to sell my Honda to be a man don't need to follow the crowd , if you needed to buy a Harley to be a man youre in trouble follow the crowd boy
LOVE THIS VIDEO!
I have other videos like it
Beautiful music to set the mood for the exciting trip.
I thought a poor mans Harley was financed. that's a Honda.
Someone thought it was a Harley and when he realized what it was he stated calling it a poor mans Harley which is why I call it that
You stated a "poor mans Harley"? Why do you think the 750 Shadow is less of a bike than a Harley. As far as I'm concerned, the Harley would be a step down from any Honda.
It’s just a saying someone told me. People were surprised I was on a Honda and not a Harley and I agree with you about Honda being just as good if not superior. I ride a Harley now and I miss the Honda shadow and it kills me that I sold it. The best bike I ever had will probably be that Honda shadow. I also bought the bike for 3k so that’s why it’s the poor mans 😂
you have never rode on a great bike
The phrase is a tongue in cheek reference to the fact that a Harley-Davidson usually costs a little more than their Japanese counterparts. Don't be a ❄️.
@@ridethepace6005 I'm glad there is some one out there that is intelligent enough to get the reference.
Another misguided individual I see MrTurnone. There are those of us who can easily afford a Harley, but chose not to buy one for several reasons (I could write a book about it) but I won't go into that. Let's just say we don't care to jump on the bandwagon to be accepted by those who sing praise to the Harley gods and give a percentage of their income to the church of dealerships across the land. We just want to get what we pay for (Harley can't come close), want dependablity and reasonably priced parts for bikes that are easy to maintain. *You thought that everyone knew" Knew what? How Harley has brainwashed people into thinking that an over priced clothing store can also sell you a bike? Yes, they can!! Don't forget to make sure you bring your tube of Locktite along!
Loved it , everyone seems to think you need a larger Bike to travel and you proved it isn't the case at all ...........much respect !
I LOVED THE TITLE... and i loved the video, KEEP IT UP!
A true biker/rider doesn't make fun of what another is riding, as long as you're in the wind it doesn't matter, cheers stay safe
Ok, I'll admit I make jokes with my friends about what bikes they ride. They ride every kind of bike you can think of. The truth is its tons of fun to have friends that ride, no matter what they ride.
This video would have been much much shorter on a Harley 😆
@Estuardo
I'm going to be honest with you it's never crossed my mind, i did go to Scotland on my VFR 800 vtec and I did tour Europe on my Kawasaki zx6r (a super sport bike) and that was fine too.
@Estuardo
I will be honest mate I'm not keen on the style of most harley's and I always imagine the noise and vibration would grate on me after a while.... but I have never ridden one so I could be wrong.
good one 😂😁
Respect! Looks like it was a lot fun. Your bike is more than enough to handle a trip like this. I am old enough to remember when 750s were called “superbikes”, people think they need a big and heavy touring bike with windshield, stereo and grip warmers to do this, I bet you someone did this trip on a moped some years ago.
You could shoot the shadow and it would probably still run
Beautiful video, traveling on motorbike have something magic, I travelled with my brother all around my coutry, those are the best memories I have of him
