I think this 2 part series is going to ABSOLUTELY blow up. This is the best video I’ve seen from these guys ( and I’ve seen most :) the story line, pacing everything is top tier, felt like I was watching a tv programme and haven’t been that annoyed a video ended in a while. Bikes and beards FTW
@@BikesandBeards I don't know why they told you that you have to cover up or remove anything on the bike that says something about being Police because people have fully operational retired Police vehicles on the street everyday and as long as you aren't turning on the lights and sirens and pretending to be a Police officer and you aren't trying to pull anyone over or responding to any emergencies then you are fully in the clear and you can still have the operational lights and sirens on the vehicle for car shows and things like that
I know it's dumb, but having non-related maps was so funny to me. As always, love this channel and what you guys bring. You were a part of the reason I started riding.
God bless you boys. The way you guys interact with folks never fails to get me going somewhere between smiling to belly laughing everytime. I was in my local Harley Davidson dealership here in Vancouver (The Couve) BC today and mentioned bikes and beards while talking to a salesperson and everyone within earshot turned to me and smiled.
I remember when Trev's old man Fred ran the original shop on Broadway a looong time ago. We were cutting our teeth on chopping old Panhead police bikes back then. I'm living in Texas now and still riding my old '97 Road King as I close in on 70 years old.
From the clips around 10:30, you drove by my house. The 10:30 shot is going up the Alabama side of Sand Mountain. You then cut to comming down the Georgia side of Sand Mountain at 10:35. You are actually on the Trans-America-Trail at that point. It joins that road comming from the road on the right that just comes in to view as you cut to that random map. The next few shots are going up Lookout Mountain, about to pass Cloudland Cannion State Park. Just past that you would have met up with the Trans-America-Trail again for a few miles. Before you ended up in the city no one seems top know how to pronounce the name of. Some really good motorcycle ridings in this part of the country. You crossed two of the three mountains in the original 3 State 3 Mountain Challange bycycle race. For anyone wantings to know Jimmys Front Porch market is at 4320 Burning Bush Rd Ringgold, GA. Its actually just outside Chickamauga Ga and the Battelfield. Not really close to Ringgold, but anyway... They could have cut west at Jimmys then right on Lafayette road an went through the Battlefield. If you are just south of Chattanooga on I-75 type in his address an stop by. Its not to far off the inerstate an only 2 turns.
Yep. I ride over to Mentone AL or Cloudland through Summerville, Trion, Lafayette, Rock Spring and Nickajack Gap (reverse order of course). Sometimes take a right at Rock Spring and go up to Chickamauga and Lookout....then back through Ringold and Fort Mountain. I don't ride much in Chattanooga...drivers too aggressive for fun. When I pass your house I'll honk.
I live at the halfway point on I75 between Chattanooga (which I religiously hate) and Knoxville and have been wanted to spend a day or two riding down in Alabama. Y’all have any good places to recommend? Was kind of hoping to visit Barber in Birmingham and the US headquarters for Steyr in Bessemer and would like to have a cool ride on the way to and fro.
@@TheAsheybabe89 I'm in Gilmer County GA on top of a mountain just below Blue Ridge and the Tenn/NC corners, but do go down to NE Bama. Mentone is a good ride, Fort Payne and the road into Gasden with the causeway through the lakes above Gasden is very attractive...and a good place to overnight.
I’ve got a 2015 FLHTP, was a Milwaukee Police service bike. After bar change, controls, seat, lowers, etc. It’s the best, most comfortable Harley that I’ve had and have ridden HD for 22 years. And not to mention, I picked it up at a great price. Just returned from a 3K mile trip in 6 days and couldn’t be happier.
So hilarious! Loved the misspelled Sherf and Ponch labels. Not surprised you got pulled over wearing police-like uniforms on police-like bikes. Can't wait to see the exciting conclusion of this cliff hanger. Also that dude with the Peaches stand...so much free and valuable information to go along with your peaches....
The only time I tried any Georgia peaches, they were kinda dry and generally awful. And I live here. Can get much better in my former home state of Michigan.
I bought an ex American state trooper road king in 2012. It was 2 years old and has been a beautiful bike for 10 years. Never had any troubles with it until I hit a deer last year. Didn't total it. She's all fixed up now and runs like a dream. (I also love the solo, air ride seat) I love it.
You guys are nuts. I laughed so hard at the Sherf and Bolice stickers. Can't wait for part 2 of this journey. BTW, those are nice looking bikes. Hopefully won't take alot to get them road worthy again, comfort wise I mean.
Beautiful motorcycles. I would love to have a HD if not for its price in Vietnam. All HDs are doubled here. That's why to me, your videos are such a great source of entertainment. Thank you.
I ride vicariously through you guys. I enjoy all of your videos and just sit back and remember when I had the health and the money to do so. Thanks guys I really enjoy watching. I wish I were there riding with you guys. Keep up the great work.
I've had an 08 FLTP for almost 10 years now and it refuses to quit. It's done the iron butt multiple times and a full cross country and back. But yeah....that seat was the first thing to come off. Also loved seeing you guys ride through my town (Huntsville) and even stop at one of my regular gas stations!
Cool to see you guys in my hometown (Florence) . I haven’t been there in almost 2 years and I miss it. Watching you ride over the Patton island bridge was nostalgic, I used to ride my bike across that bridge all the time, O Neil bridge used to only be one pretty thin lane due to construction so it was a little sketchy because of the winds from the river. I need to go home
That’s cool. You guys got these from my home town. I’ve seen these exact bikes lead about 100 funeral precessions in my life lol. It’s cool to see you guys buy them and get some good use out of them. Happy riding!
Those "tall" seats are actually for a purpose... Believe it or not, they make low-speed maneuverability much easier, because your center of gravity is higher and your butt is better centered between the wheels. An added plus about those old fashioned solo seats (and I suppose the old Buddy Seats) is that for us old guys with arthritis, sitting up that high keeps our knees below the level of our hips... And that keeps the pain at bay for at least 100 or so extra miles. Yeah... They ain't for everyone. But I for one LOVE those things. Especially if they're the "air suspension" style... Makes it like a two wheeled Cadillac!
95 degrees? Those are rookie numbers. I ride my GS to work every day here in AZ. It's been over 100 for the last 8 weeks. Yesterday it was 108 and sunny.
I'm a huge fan. You guys do an excellent job with the product, vibe, and honesty with tons of knowledge. I love how you and your crew/family all have the same energy as you. I like that you stick behind your word and help customers out and stand behind your word. With that being said, I was wondering if you had a website of where you are listing your bikes for sale? Thank you for your time, and keep up the excellent work. I love the channel.
Sean Craig my wife and myself got struck by lightning we did not take a direct hit! It struck about 10 ft beside us went underground and ran up through our legs! It tightened up every muscle in my body I couldn't move! We were both okay we went to the hospital and everything was fine. But that was a hell of a thing to have happened.
@@BikesandBeards that's good possibility! I did go out and buy a scratch off card right after that because I was going to win millions! In my mind LOL all I've done was lost my money! Have a good day
I always wanted to buy a Ex-Police Harley Davidson Motorcycle. That was years ago. You just re-ignited that idea. I want one! Regardless of what you gentlemen say about comfort etc. it would be all good! Great video!
I'm a motorcycle mechanic, responsible for the local Police motorcycles, it is indeed a strange feeling when you ride a police bike in public, everybody drives just under the speed limit when you are behind them, and you find yourself scanning the cars around you. The power buzz is a bit worrying because it makes you realise how easily power corrupts. It takes a very strong man to have power and not abuse it. But, have to admit, enjoy every test ride because it's a test of me, as well as the bike.. ;)
Ha! I used to do almost the same as you in Buenos Aires. Exactly the same thoughts.... Curious, ain't it? Now I work as a HD technician in Germany..... HDS are something.... special. And even after all these years, I don't own one...... Every day I ride a different one!!😉😆
hahahaha when i got my crown vic police whip i felt like enforcing the law too!!!😅😅😅 but i swear i get from city to city much faster now!! and more people drive with sense around me!🤣 keep up the great work.
I had a 2010 police roadking,best bike I ever owned! Had to sell it for back surgery.I’ll get another. It only had 5000 miles on it,got it for $12000. Had 37000miles on it when I sold it…and almost everyone I’ve seen says police on air cleaner cover,and handle bar cover.that’s not illegal
@@educatedredneck7001 got it, ride like you’re invisible. I currently drive a 280z and get cut off because it’s so small it’s hard to see. I imagine it’s wayyy worse on a bike. Thank you!!
Good to see you again Shawn, I look forward to your videos any time I see a new upload. I love motorcycles and I am too hoping to get a motorcycle one day.
Had a C.H.P Kawasaki kz1000 police special, rode in a horseshoe trip from Cali to New York , full lights and kit and badges , it had 246,000 miles in the clock. It was put in a crate and shipped home to the u.k
When you thought you have seen everything, you stumble across that video. That humor caught me more than once totally of guard - geez my tummy hurts from all that laughing. 🤣
I had a 2000 Police model, It was the best harley I ever had drove it from 03 through 09. and 70K miles. A new seat is a must and a lowering kit improved ride. You obviously have much more money than this retired GI. A Lady T-boned me one afternoon after work. Miss that bike.
police in my country have the Fireblade bikes... but the interesting thing is that if u look on the side of the bike it's having a sticker from Coso racing.... police bikes are not standard... same as the old honda 750..it has an over drive gear and very high rpms
I have both a HD Road King and Kawasaki P13 1000 police bikes. There great. I maintained a police motor unit as a mechanic. I kept all of them like new through out their service.
Ouch, $20 to fill a bike, had that pain here in ATX while prices were high, at least it's down a bit now, just filled up for $13. I had to fill my F350 during the gas hike and it bought gave me a heat attack at $120......
Finally, someone has fulfilled my life long dream of riding a C.H.I.P.S bike around in police like clothes! AND YOU EVEN GOT PULLED OVER!!! Dude….I’m speechless. God bless Shaun, your living the dream. And your living my dream. I can’t wait for part 2!!! Idk if I spelled your name right
You are either crazy or brave. I'm a police officer who is motor trained and have been riding police bikes for 26 years now. I wouldn't touch a police Harley with a 100 foot pole for my personal bike. I know what they go thru. I certainly wouldn't trust one to get me from the Gulf Coat back to PA. Especially if the bike came from a city dept. An aquiantance of mine bought one recently and had to dump 10k into it to keep it running over the past 2 1/2 years. Craig's front end vibration issues could be a recipe for a "death wobble" pretty scary stuff.
The one I bought I ended up having a new clutch basket put in and having the bottom end rebuilt from where the oil pump exploded from the pinion shaft being out of balance. Something that is an issue in the 88 motors. Very common.
Be glad the PD used only tape to cover up. I worked at a H-D shop in the 1970's. We attended Los Angeles PD bike auctions. The Harleys had done only around 40,000 miles. They scraped off the police symbols and lettering wiith a putty knife leaving horrible scars in the paint. Ironically every one of those ex-PD bikes became a 'chopper'.
This is great!! You guys stayed in Decatur AL. That is my hometown and most of my family still lives there. Since you passed the Davidson Center I assume you were on I-565 which means you went through Madison and just over one mile from my house. I wish I knew you guys were coming through our area. I love what you do so please keep it going.
I know what you mean by wanting to pull over stupid drivers while riding these ex police bikes. I bought a police Norton commando Interpol back on the 70s.( I live in England.) It was great fun but also a pain in the arse as when you wanted to go for a good blast, the bloody car drivers would all slow down thinking it was the police behind them. The roads in England are very narrow compared to the roads there in the States. Love the video can't wait for part 2
Tell me about it! My ex-police Pan European was a pain in the arse everywhere apart from the motorway. People slow to 40mph on all the back roads. At least on the motorway, everybody who isn't in an Audi just moves over as I approach.
are these bikes reasonably priced? they seem like pretty nice bikes 5 minutes into the video. haven't finished it yet but they look nicer than i expected from used police bikes.
Hi there, I just bought the highway king and it has the solo seat, I’d like to lower it, no idea about adjustment to do so but saw your post on brackets, lowering 2 inches would be great, can you provide any more info on that? Thanks
How cool is this. Great work guys. I must have missed something though - why didn't the garage let you buy fuel unless you paid for other motorists fuel?
@@under3271 Ah that makes sense, Paying It Forward? Yes I'd seen them do that before, just the way Sean worded it sounded like they'd been singled out as dodgy looking. 😁
Im at the start and i always thought buying from a police auction would be a good thing because they would follow all manufacture maintenance programs.
All lical government vehicles are used until I become cheaper to get a new one than it cost to keep fixing the old one . The government fleet I worked on had 1200 vehicles under one ton rating on the road every day, averaging 290,000 when disposed of .
Township/state vehicles can be great. Police vehicles not so much. They get abused to within an inch of their lives and idled for hours upon hours. Take whatever the odometer says and triple it(maybe more... Maybe much more)
I watched some of your videos ages and and they were halarious been hooked since plus im a biker slash mechanic its always great to see what people can create outta spare parts!!!

you shpuld introduce yourself as "hey guys ! I'm List, this is Craig..and we bring to you....this..."
Had a C.H.P Kawasaki kz1000 police special, rode in a horseshoe trip from Cali to New York , full lights and kit and badges , it had 246,000 miles in the clock. It was put in a crate and shipped home to the u.k
You guys are hilarious. I don't know, nor do I care how you come up with this stuff. Just keep it up.
When you thought you have seen everything, you stumble across that video. That humor caught me more than once totally of guard - geez my tummy hurts from all that laughing. 🤣
feedback appreciated❤️👍
let's talk you are selected claim your winning package now 🎁🎁👌☝️☝️
Oh my goodness what a wonderful excursion you guys are on I can hardly wait until the very end of the next video be careful in that rainstorm
I had a 2000 Police model, It was the best harley I ever had drove it from 03 through 09. and 70K miles. A new seat is a must and a lowering kit improved ride. You obviously have much more money than this retired GI. A Lady T-boned me one afternoon after work. Miss that bike.
They take impersonating a police officer pretty seriously, no sense of humour.......love the channel, keep up the good work.....
police in my country have the Fireblade bikes... but the interesting thing is that if u look on the side of the bike it's having a sticker from Coso racing.... police bikes are not standard... same as the old honda 750..it has an over drive gear and very high rpms
If he's not the famous Jimmy Dean, he is now. 😂
This is the funniest but serious posting. You guys are funny. LoL, lol, lol 🤣😂
You guys are idiots, I mean that in the best way, and I love it! Wish I could act like a 13 year old again. Thanks for the laughs!
i wasnt going to say anything , but i was thinking the same thing,lol.
I have both a HD Road King and Kawasaki P13 1000 police bikes. There great. I maintained a police motor unit as a mechanic. I kept all of them like new through out their service.
Ouch, $20 to fill a bike, had that pain here in ATX while prices were high, at least it's down a bit now, just filled up for $13. I had to fill my F350 during the gas hike and it bought gave me a heat attack at $120......
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽 the stickers and cliffhanger had me dying!!
Wow. A whole 1.000 miles on impeccably maintained purpose-built long=distance touring motorcycles. Kudos!
Copy bikes are anything but that.
@@ChinaMonkeyUrumqi It's sarcasm bud.
Can't wait for episode 2, hope they get to ride North Ga Mtns , some great scenery /roads there.
Finally, someone has fulfilled my life long dream of riding a C.H.I.P.S bike around in police like clothes! AND YOU EVEN GOT PULLED OVER!!! Dude….I’m speechless. God bless Shaun, your living the dream. And your living my dream. I can’t wait for part 2!!! Idk if I spelled your name right
Haha we had a lot of fun until….. next episode
Bikes and Beards and it’s Sean
At 13:47, that's Cedric! He used to work at KWQC here in Iowa as the meterologist. Miss him.
You are either crazy or brave. I'm a police officer who is motor trained and have been riding police bikes for 26 years now. I wouldn't touch a police Harley with a 100 foot pole for my personal bike. I know what they go thru. I certainly wouldn't trust one to get me from the Gulf Coat back to PA. Especially if the bike came from a city dept. An aquiantance of mine bought one recently and had to dump 10k into it to keep it running over the past 2 1/2 years. Craig's front end vibration issues could be a recipe for a "death wobble" pretty scary stuff.
ohh no what did we get ourselves into
The one I bought I ended up having a new clutch basket put in and having the bottom end rebuilt from where the oil pump exploded from the pinion shaft being out of balance. Something that is an issue in the 88 motors. Very common.
One of the best motorcycles I've ever had was an ex DeKalb County Georgia KZ 1000 p I loved it
Be glad the PD used only tape to cover up. I worked at a H-D shop in the 1970's. We attended Los Angeles PD bike auctions. The Harleys had done only around 40,000 miles. They scraped off the police symbols and lettering wiith a putty knife leaving horrible scars in the paint. Ironically every one of those ex-PD bikes became a 'chopper'.
Can't wait to see how or what their repaint will look like.
LOVE your channel- but, a HeAT Wave?? 96 degrees? Alabama in the middle of August?? Really?? Love the Channel!!
You gave the Virago to the wrong person ! That was my Bike maaaaan , wth ! hahahahahaha
This is great!! You guys stayed in Decatur AL. That is my hometown and most of my family still lives there. Since you passed the Davidson Center I assume you were on I-565 which means you went through Madison and just over one mile from my house. I wish I knew you guys were coming through our area. I love what you do so please keep it going.
Dude that's crazy I live right where yall are at in Decatur lol.. I was probably home.
Next time yall come through hit me up
You guys are crazy. Awsome! Thank you 🤪
Was Craig shocked or did the guy walking give him the shocker?🤘🏻
Hahaha - 2 in the pink, 1 in the stink !
Excellent 🤘🏻peach man was straight 🔥😂
I know what you mean by wanting to pull over stupid drivers while riding these ex police bikes. I bought a police Norton commando Interpol back on the 70s.( I live in England.) It was great fun but also a pain in the arse as when you wanted to go for a good blast, the bloody car drivers would all slow down thinking it was the police behind them. The roads in England are very narrow compared to the roads there in the States. Love the video can't wait for part 2
very true
Tell me about it! My ex-police Pan European was a pain in the arse everywhere apart from the motorway. People slow to 40mph on all the back roads. At least on the motorway, everybody who isn't in an Audi just moves over as I approach.
Not gunna lie here. You guys did your thing on this video! Come over to NJ sometime
You could've bought muffins or croissants, but you had to get them doughnuts lmao
You guys are approaching top gear levels of entertaining. Keep it up!
are these bikes reasonably priced? they seem like pretty nice bikes 5 minutes into the video. haven't finished it yet but they look nicer than i expected from used police bikes.
Ive had 2 police harley's over the years, I love them.
To keep the solo seats on each I bought the 2" rear lowering brackets and they worked fine.
Hi there, I just bought the highway king and it has the solo seat, I’d like to lower it, no idea about adjustment to do so but saw your post on brackets, lowering 2 inches would be great, can you provide any more info on that? Thanks
When is part 2 coming out
Hell with the bikes, just the road trip alone w/friends is awesome 😎
Am I the only one baffled by the pumping-someone-else's-gas thing? I thought it was New Jersey where you can't pump your own
On road trips we pay for strangers gas. It’s a thing we do. Feels good to pay it forward
@@The_Bearded_Mechanic Very cool! Might have to give that a try myself
There going pretty good for something straight out of an auction, all the best to yous and your loved ones
How cool is this. Great work guys. I must have missed something though - why didn't the garage let you buy fuel unless you paid for other motorists fuel?
They have done this in a few vids they are just being cool.
@@under3271 Ah that makes sense, Paying It Forward? Yes I'd seen them do that before, just the way Sean worded it sounded like they'd been singled out as dodgy looking. 😁
Love this channel always brightens my day
Im at the start and i always thought buying from a police auction would be a good thing because they would follow all manufacture maintenance programs.
All lical government vehicles are used until I become cheaper to get a new one than it cost to keep fixing the old one . The government fleet I worked on had 1200 vehicles under one ton rating on the road every day, averaging 290,000 when disposed of .
Township/state vehicles can be great. Police vehicles not so much. They get abused to within an inch of their lives and idled for hours upon hours. Take whatever the odometer says and triple it(maybe more... Maybe much more)
I watched some of your videos ages and and they were halarious been hooked since plus im a biker slash mechanic its always great to see what people can create outta spare parts!!!
