Test riding the cheapest motorcycles I could find at the Harley Davidson dealership. Just because you don't have a lot of money doesn't mean you cant get into motorcycles! Till next time y'all, keep it weird #shadetreearmy - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
You definitely found a niche by featuring these “affordable” machines.
Nice job 👍
Hell yes! I love this part of your channel. I wish we could get bikes this cheap in NZ. Keep up the good work.
You guys are practically part of the essential working squad. You provide entertaining for us so we don't go f*cking insane. Ride safe guys!
Your cheapest bike vids are some of my favorites. Definitely shows that theres a bike out there for anyones coin level. Ride hard and keep it weird brother
"The Anal Intruder" 😂🤣 keep these used motorcycle vids coming, i love them!
I crawled all the way into the comments for this one. Thanks. Lol
Shadetree riding a VTX1300 OH HELL YEAH!
John McGregor he would love the 1800. I have a 08 F1 and I love it. Torque monster. 1300 or 1800 Great bikes !!!
Great bike..i own a 2010 vt 1300 sabre has the vtx1300 engine, i bought it brand new and besides tires and batteries have had not 1 problem with it. Honda reliability borders on the supernatural..
You and flip are Essential Services, ride on brothers 🤘🤘
I just bought my self a 2002 Honda Shadow VLX 600. It had only 6200 miles on and got it for $1000. Absolutely love it not to mention being only 5’2 it fits me pretty well lol.
You got a great deal. A friends wife has exactly the same bike,just called and talked to them when I saw your post, She has over 80k on it, rides it all over, been to sturgis,phoenix and most of the rally's in between.
q Q that’s awesome man! I plan on riding to hell and back with the bike lol. This is my first bike and I plan on keeping it awhile.
Great bike...will run forever..
I drive truck. I've been even more busy since all of this virus stuff started. Don't pay attention to the peanut gallery. Social distancing doesn't mean that you have to sit on your couch and not move for months. Some people just don't have common sense.
Amen to that, I'm out everyday, virus free!!!!
The people that keep nagging about this subject drive me nuts. I guess they are stupid and assume we all are! Common sense isn't common anymore!
Arnold's Terminator movie bike. " A nine year old's fantasy to ride on a Fatboy, doesn't actually sound right"... Indeed Lol
Damn that's dope for $500. You could clean that up REAL good.
Yea it’s a sick bike. If it runs that good for $500 I’d grab it and make a project out of it
I doordash in my spare time on my ultra limited in order to pay for it.( figuring out how to carry drinks was the tricky part)
People look at me kinda weird when I pull up on a fully decked out bagger.
But hey, it’s paying for itself, and I’m out riding my bike at the same time. So it’s a win in my book.
I’ve got a 2007 VTX 1800 with 57,000 miles. Freedom 2into1 exhaust. Absolutely love it.
I’m borde out of my skull, so this is just what I needed.
Stay awesome man!
You do the same brother
A buddy that lived across the street from had a vtx 1800 and you are right they sound awesome. Whenever he pulled in his drive across the street his exhaust rattled my windows!
Y'all are "essential employees"...essential for the mental health of your viewers
Stupid
Every time I watch your channel i get jealous because there is nothing as cheap in California i love watching the channel
Hell that $500 bike would be worth it just to have something to chop up and customize for the practice. I looked at a LOT of VTX's before I settled on the Valkyrie. I have the VT750 and they are all great, almost unkillable machines. Only reason I didn't go for one is the Valk was newer with lower miles. Now that I have another bike, you've inspired me to turn my 750 to a custom/chop project. My 'essential service' HVAC job is now furloughed for at least 2 months, so I've got a little more time on my hands. Be safe out there. Much love from Washington, DC.
Brother you are keeping ppl sane... thanks for your time and effort in making the videos
3000 grand for that electriglide can’t beat that
These are my favorite videos that you do, the " bikes for all price ranges" is really inspiring. If I had seen something like this years ago, i'd have been riding sooner
All you see on the roads in your videos are truckers. They deserve some love. Without them this country would be crippled. If your a trucker thank you SO much ❤❤❤
In the state of Washington motorcycle riding is listed as an approved outdoor activity as long as you are not in groups of more that 10 people and are practicing social distancing while getting gas and at stops etc...so put the hammer down!
Man i like your videos, after this virus il get my licence for a bike i love the lifestyle :D keep the videos coming (hi from Croatia)
Get it, it's over! Jebem ti Corona!
I'm a Harley fan boy who spent 17 years in the motorcycle business. Metric dealerships. Those kids used to rag me all the time about my Harley. That Glide, how could you spend 3 grand on a 21 year old bike? I would tell them the better question is aren't you impressed that a 21 bike still holds a value of 3 grand...
So you are saying you should buy a $22,000 HD because it holds it value much better than a $12,000 Metric Bike .. You lost me there.. Must be Common Core Math ...
Harley's will be a dime a dozen when their old Fart Owners start dying off..
@@mikeskidmore6754 us old farts we're like baebae kids we don't die we multiply ....
@@mikeskidmore6754 people said that Harleys would be a "dime a dozen", aaaaalllll the way back in 84, when the Evolution came out. People said the prices would drop off. (Yes, they were expensive then.) My uncle bought a brand new, 84 Softail, four speed, kick and electric start. He complained about the price. The Shovels, Pans and Knuckles dropped off a little bit. But they all rebounded. So I guess we will see. If people weren't buying them, the prices would reflect it. (On the used market.)
@@JMNeely 💪 might rattle apart like our Harleys but we dont die
There are plenty of old non Harley bikes that are worth 3 grand or more. The price of the used Harleys has fallen off quite a bit over the past 15 years or so. Now that production is high and the new bikes are good the market for the older bikes isn't there. You used to see 10 year old Harleys going for nearly the price of a new one. While the new Harleys are very nice it's still funny to me they're so expensive and yet still look like the same bike that's 20 years older.
What's heartwarming about that first bike, is that you know someone traded that in and got himself a nice new shiny bike and is out somewhere right now riding it with a big grin on his face. :)
Screw the comments. Ride that thing. I'm riding mine.
Such a same that Intruder is that rough I owned a 1998 and it was a beast and would out run Harleys..the gas tank under the seat makes balancing a dream..all in all great bikes..$500 is a steal
FYI, I've worked at a Harley dealer as a service advisor, parts associate, parts-to-service, etc., so I can speak with some authority. $1,000 to rebuild the engine in that '99 Electra Glide Classic is realistic in parts if you're doing the work yourself, but there are a couple to a few specialty tools that will push that number out a bit. In particular, there is no way around specialty tools for cam chest service. Beyond that, I can honestly say, I have a regular customer who has a 2008 Twin Cam Electra Glide Classic with 177,500 miles on it and he has **NEVER** had to have any engine work done on it. Let me restate that, just in case you missed it - this guy has a Twin Cam Harley Electra Glide with basically 180,000 miles that has **NEVER** needed anything beyond routine maintenance on the engine and he bought it from my dealership BRAND NEW in 2008. Keep up on routine maintenance on ANY motorcycle, INCLUDING a Harley-Davidson and it will be a reliable bike for longer than you realistically need it to be. On a separate note, that VTX1300 is an awesome bike. On ANOTHER unrelated note, a large part of the reason you felt like you were sitting ON the Electra-Glide instead of IN the bike is because it has a Badlander seat on it. It's hard as hell and feels like sitting on a piece of flat board, but some people prefer that, especially if you have sciatic nerve pain. My mother had sciatica. No buéno.
For my money, I'd also buy the '99 Electra Glide. Hell of a bike.
Man, I wish there was a dealership where I live that sold bikes that cheap.
im in San Bernardino . not here
They'll delivery to your door, maybe xtra bucks.
San Diego . not here. Cheapest bike I have found in San Diego is 9 Grand I was a hoe 3 Road King. 3 Grand damn bro I got that shoot me that bike
Was just looking for the new video, now it’s here. HELL YEAH
My man 🙏🏻
Man you just keep the good vibes coming! Sale on motorcycles?!
Yes I am in fact still working, your rad bro
The upright riding position you love on that Electra-glide is the reason I bought my 2018 FLHTP. Love that seat. Love these reviews. Thanks!
My first and current bike is a VTX1300C with 43k miles on it. Love it but that stock seat is only good for about 50 miles of comfort. It sounds so good I want to keep it when I finally have the money to get a nice bike.
Mustang seat makes a world of difference. I can ride for 8hr now on my 1300r.
Love watching your vids man. Still working construction in SD and when the weather permits I take out my 98 Honda VT1100 spirit. Keep healthy and keep uploading awesome stuff!
Thanks for the videos my man! Watching these lets me forget about the problems going on in the world for a while. Stay safe and hope you and yours are doing well.
Love these videos. Just shows you can ride for cheap. Thanks for putting this together!
Love your channel and videos, keep em coming brother
Please keep making these videos. I love seeing the affordable stuff. I really dig the fat boy.
At least when you go to work you can officially go to work with a smile
I found a used 1998 Yamaha royal star tour classic, for 3000 bucks, drovit a hour and half home!...and whats special about it is that it only has 6000 miles. my dad has a royal star with 50k on it...loved the way the 4 cyl sounds...you can find GREAT deals out there people! go get on 2 wheels, thank you for the video!
Thanks Josh. I always enjoy the videos. You and Flip stay healthy a be safe! A big old wave from NY!
I have a vtx 1800 and it's an absolute monster, I fell in love the first time I rode her
Nice to see you caught flip trying to put a helmet on over his snap back haha
Great video as always, that 3k classic is a killer deal.
Man I'm looking to get a bike here soon you literally make my mood great thank you for making videos man they are so intriguing to watch. Keep up the great content man
love my harley... but make no mistake... there are a LOT of metric bikes that are damn near bullet proof.
its true that when you ride a harley, you KNOW you are on a harley.....
and yes, there is an enormous harley community...
i even agree that there is something "spiritual" about riding a harley...(a lot of it being the unlimited customization)
make no mistake though... metric bikes are NOT junk. dollar for dollar, mile for mile, a metric bike is a better bang for your buck most of the time.
As I live in the birth place of the harley I know this feeling all to well. Imagine to no surprise that's almost all I ever see.
Exatly.
Nothing wrong with a metric bike. I think the experience is definitely different as a harley is a unique ride. That ride is why I have one. But yeah you can get a decent metric bike for a good deal. I say whatever gets ya on two wheels is a good bike.
@@tardisrider25 I love your outlook. I wish everyone thought like you did instead of bashing eachother
@@kevinharris7054 Yeah I don't understand why people have to do that. It's fine of you prefer a certain bike or even if you don't like certain bikes. But you shouldn't have to put someone else down to feel better about what you do.
Love cheap Harley’s! I remember when you could get a mint shovel head for 2-3000 about 10-15 years ago
Keep bringing these videos Shadetree Surgeon! Keeps us sane in these crazy times.
Good man Josh thanks for a showing us a bit of sunshine and motorcycles !
Love your videos man. Hope everyone is staying healthy!
I dig on your videos of all those used bikes you have given me some great ideas thanks
Thanks for making this video. I love they give you special pricing for us. I'd love to see it be a (more) regular thing on your channel. I've got a twin cam bagger right now. If I didn't I'd be having Burts ship that thing to me now. I love content that makes hobbies accessible and breaks stereotypes. Keep up the good work. I'm buying a pint at your bar when its open and I'm in FL.
Love these videos, cant beat a good quarantine project to keep you busy. Thanks!
Again you are the main reason I recently purchased a 95 Electra Glide Standard. I had to rebuild the carburetor right off the bat but man do I love her. Thank you for doing what you do brother. You and Flip stay safe out there.
That 21 year old Harley is awesom!
Rode a VTX 1300 for about a year before moving on to the Heritage Classic. It was a great bike and $2k is a smoking deal. Lots of plasti-chrome, but a bulletproof engine. I like the apes on this one too; mine had beach bars. I’d lose the bags and extra lights but keep the highway pegs. I like gettin comfy down the road. I did run out of gas once and pushed a 1/4 mile; ya, it sucked. Nice vid!
Being not able to ride here in Bavaria, your videos are the perfect entertainment. Thanx so much for keeping on make these. Drive safe and stay healthy. Ciao.
TheBavariaBulldog
great videos man! Keep 'em coming!! Ride safe man!!
I wish a shop around where I lived had deals like that. Something cheap I could put back together and mess around with.
My second bike and my favorite was a VTX1300c. Big mag wheels, drag bars and a big single carburetor - can't go wrong. Just light enough to rip around the city and great on the highway. Had it for 2 years before it got hit and totaled. In those two years I replaced the back tire, replaced the clutch cable and did oil changes. Not bad for a crusty $2k bike (and this was a few years ago when bikes sorta had value!). Will definitely get another one before they all get too old
LMAO!! “The old gynecologist-chair-position, right there.”
I dig your approach to making videos that are more realistic for the average human bean! Your attitude is priceless, enjoy the videos brother. Congrats on full time youtubin, good for everyone. Can't beat doing what Ya love for a living. Glad you and everyone is alright after that wild close one the other day. We need ya out here especially during this apocalyptic journey we call life.
Take care and be safe!
You’re essential worker making these videos to keep us entertained and not have the men in the white coats take us away. Us meaning me.
Most wholesome motovlogger on the tube dude
Happy Easter everyone. One more great show today in the can
These is the best content you put out there.
Man I'd gladly have any of those bikes just for the noises they make alone - even the $500 Anal Intruder sounded amazeballs......wish we had places that sold bikes like that on this side of the atlantic...enjoyed that as ever SS - ride safe over there and keep well!
I’m always amazed that there aren’t more used bikes for sale over there. Hope you’re safe too manb
@@shadetreesurgeon All good thanks - My daughter had the virus two weeks ago which was scary, but all good now....thanks for replying, great to hear from you!
Happy to hear she recovered!!
@@shadetreesurgeon ...not as happy as me I can assure you! Was close for a while....
@@shadetreesurgeon Shadetree surgeon on Road Glide owners only have moods you are really weird I didn't like that video I like Road Glides
“Waving back to the chameleon paint job” lmaooo😭😭
Keep making vids! It's greatly appreciated and very entertaining!
I’ve been watching your channel for a little more than 2 years , always fun! 9 yr old fantasy on a fat boy!! That’s some funny shit!! Thanks dude
That Electraglide is $5000 now according to the website
Edit: never mind, I just finished the video where you said to mention you for the special price
The end of the video he states you need to call and tell them he sent you for the price...
Im looking for my first bike and these vids are super helpful. Your awesome just subbed!!
Dude, you got me cracking up 😂 at 4:15 am. You are hilarious 😂Enjoy your new full time job.
Sometimes the cheapest bikes are the most fun. It gives you time and money to wrench and make it your own!
Heard about your channel threw other motovloggers decided to come on over.....The only regret is not looking into you sooner! great content! +1 sub!
Love it when u do these videos! Ride On!!👍🏻
Good video, Josh. Happy Easter .
Shadetree!!! I love your channel dude!! Keep it up, your content is TOPNOTCH!!!!!
Gynecologist chair... Priceless! I did buy a Honda RC 51 once and my wife was mad as it had a solo seat. I told her I would put pegs back on it and give her a ride. Well it had high pipes so her legs had to go far wide so she wouldn't get burned. We both laughed at my contraption that was now a two up bike. She did NOT want to ride it but I MADE the promise and I DID the work so she rode on it basically around the block, laughing our ass off! When I got her back she said it felt like being at the gynecologist office! Thanks for the flash back.
Had a vtx 1300 and I loved it
My new fav show! Great stuff!
Hey man. I bought my 2005 vtx1300 with 2900 original miles on it for $3800, and I love that bike! I’m 5,10, 270lbs and the bike is perfect for my size and weight.... and like you said, seating position is super comfortable!
Great video hope you guys get through this corona times ok and get back to bartending love the videos
Those are great deals you rode, and thanks for keeping us all entertained. Hey, you're providing a service to us so we don't all go nuts, you're essential now.
Sick deals brother! All incredible deals especially that beautiful Electra Glide!
I sense that what I'm watching is kind of an extended ad for Bert's H-D and the reciprocal agreement for that Road King Special you ride - but I don't care. You are amusing and fun to watch. I'm diggin' it, as you might say. Get a contact with them!
Honestly I could do this at any dealership, I’ve done similar videos at Tampa Triumph as well. But yes, Bert’s is good to me so I choose to do it there, there’s no contract forcing me to though :)
Love these affordable bike vids dude. God it must be so cool to be able to ride year round
I think you missed your calling. Shadetree Cycles has a nice ring to it.
This idea really needs to be revisited. I would ride my happy ass down to Florida, have my bike shipped back home, drink a beer with "Swamp Wizard", buy a bike, then ride my new bike back to Ohio.
First bike was a vtx 1300 and it was awesome. Kinda wish I still had it in the garage. Great video man. Nice to see someone that will ride bikes that are not worth a years salary. I believe that is why Harley sales are down. They have forgotten the population that made Harley. I’ve ridden the livewire but why the hell would you buy one when the competition is half the price and have been doing longer. Ur my favorite man. You listen to hank Jr and If you don’t like hank you can kiss my ass.
"Get off my case!" Well said. Things like this bring out the inner Stalin in too many people.
Things like this? you mean the 750,000 known people who have a virus or the 37,000+ who have died? Florida is up to almost 27,000 reported cases, Just keep being stupid
@@asyouratty13 Yes, things like that. What's your point? I would have greater trust in elected officials were it not for them saying things like "Never let a good crisis go to waste," and the attempts to pile on non-Covid-19 related bennies onto relief legislation. But, hey, if you want to give up your rights to appear virtuous and caring, have at it. Just don't expect any credit from me.
Did you know the Bill of Rights says you have the 1st Amendment right to peaceable assembly, period, no matter what executive order a governor declares? Google "Supremacy Clause" and "Incorporation Doctrine."
@@BegoneJonah your statement "Things like that" gave me the impressions of a minor, who cares type of thing, whatever, keep alive
@@BegoneJonah Amen! I'm with you the sheeple give up their rights easily and you never get them back! Common sense isn't common anymore!
People bitching about him being out really rather amuses me personally. If you have a problem with the man being out, why the hell are you watching his videos? That is literally what he does is makes videos about riding which involve him riding..... duhhhhhh.
Awesome deals! Thank you for sharing.
This vid earned a subscriber, keep up the good work.
Shadetree, thanks for keeping the videos going. Don't listen to the nay sayers. I personally, would rather take my chances with the Whuhan, than loose my freedom. Living is better than just existing.
That intruder would make a great donor bike @ $500.
You could cut the thing up and go nuts building whatever you wanted, with no stress.
My riding course got canceled due to mandates, super bummed out but watching you videos have been through the day and building up excitement for when we can do the riding course. Thanks all the way from N. California😁
Great video! I was surprised the second I got on the Beast with how comfortable it was.
I own a VT600 Shadow that has about 60 thousand miles and it still kicks ass. Hart tailed and all.
Damn ya'll got all the deals down there. I really wanted that Voyager you rode a few weeks ago
Man, Ive had my license for over two years and haven't bought a motorcycle. I keep watching your videos dreaming of the day. If I had a garage, Id have one by now but If I can get one on the cheap, I wouldn't mind parking it outside. haha
You and flip should be super hero's on bikes, you guys are awesome
Bert's has some fantastic deals. It's a win win, because you get to ride some different bikes and they get to show off some great deals.
