My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

Simplifying one’s life truly is the key
Less is more
Scotty you don’t realize how much your little tech tips help us riders that have got an older bike after riding newer bikes for ever. Derby cover tip going to help me with the shovel I just got. Derby cover leak at the bottom. Thanks bud you take care and ride safe. One day I hope to meet you on the road or at a rally.
Agreed. Wondering if that is my leak on my EVO Softail not the gasket.
Maybe i shoulda filmed the starter clutch replacement too. But im sure somebodys already done it.
It wouldn’t hurt Scotty. Never too old to learn. That’s bud.
All the best with the new Donkey.
Cool video. Better than watching regular TV. I don't know how I watched regular TV in the past without throwing up.
I havnt had a TV now for 4 years, 👍👍
That red bike is looking sweet.
Great to see the new red bike on the road!
is why l love my 94 FLSTN... so simple cheers mate
Trev it’s Anthony from your live the other day love you brother look forward to you getting the boat issue resolved
@@anthonymasluk2295 thanks mate cheers
@@hippytrev7452 your always welcome Trev glad you got a ride in aswell
I upgraded my boots after Moto Giant lost his foot. Between MG and my buddy, who got run over and lost his foot a while ago, I decided that maybe the universe was trying to tell me something.
Hey Scotty how's it going. A friend of mine has a 2001 twin cam same fuel injection has 96,000 me not one single problem. As you know it's kind of a hit and miss with them they're either good or bad. Hopefully yours will be a good one. Probably stop by and talk to you in Sturgis again. Have a good one.
Man that was so gnarly
@@harleyedwardson642
See u there Ed
I don't worry about safety, if the good lord decides that my time here has come to an end while I'm riding, I would feel blessed. It's better than going out while doing nothing or something you don't enjoy doing.
The Red Momma is sweet.
As ive mentioned before... the Old Mule...bekongs in a museum... please get in touch with Matt Walksler at Wheels Through Time.... the perfect spot for the Ild Mule....since its living history....👍😎👍
Keep the Faith....We love you...God bless you.....Thank you
Love the new bike Scotty. Hope it gives you thousands of miles of trouble free riding!
Me too
That bike is freaking beautiful Scotty! I've been looking at one near raleigh. A 97 that is having injection issues but they are only asking 4k.. looks a lot like that one
I already have most of the parts to convert this one. . .when the time comes.
Great video as usual!!
Great show thank you Scotty
Love Scotty videos
Good Looking Bike Kool breeze even tho its Hot Everywhere lol ..Ride safe !!!!
Hope all is well, Scott!
I don't have a "shop" but I have pretty much everything except the stuff to do the flywheels. I have a mini-mill, a press, all kinds of pullers, some specialty Harley tools, tons of stuff.
A man after my own heart.
I picked up a cot like Sid’s a few weeks ago. My whole 1 man tent fits on top of it. The tent floor always gets wet in heavy rains, so I’m gonna see if this fixes it. It’s real comfortable, been sleeping on it every night since I got it.
They can keep the new bikes. Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't buy a newer Harley. Too many modules.
New bikes are so awesome though I like getting a new one every 6 months or 8 thousand miles which ever comes first
Maybe I'm just getting old but I'd much rather hang out at the m/c shop than the rally...
Travel well, Scotty always nice to be riding a new bike or at least new to you, Godspeed
Come down to Texas in 8:46 October. Born free is a bad as chopper/camp out show. It’s always a good time
Glad to see you’re doing well man. I thought you might still be chillin in old Mexico.
To hot down there now
I like how quiet your new bike is. I had an evo Road King (93) long time ago. Kept it stock the whole time till i had to sell it because of a nasty divorce.
See ya at Sturgis
Fuckin u get for the fuckin u got i guess
Great video as usual scotty.....always a thumbs up from me man.
New bike looks really good 💯. Good luck young man.
Man am I lucky I bought a 1990 FLHS 34 years ago and still riding it 50,000 miles plus.
Another good video, Scotty
@ 6/7 mins in @ the Rally lot Old CooL Bikes
Besides the comfort of your old bike anything else you miss or it was time .
Anyway glad to see you on a new ride and always having great content..enjoy the ride as you know we are only here once.soake the most of it im not saying that to you thats fir sure lol..ok that's enough im out...ttyl
The Mule has a cam, 6 speed, Legonds shocks, cartridge forks, cut seat, and higher bars, and its all around simpler. Plus the history together. Things are always closer to your heart when u do them with your own hands. Even if its just a porch u built. A thing most modern riders will never know.
I got the new bike ONLY because the old one is beginning to ware out.
You can still delete the fuel injection on the twin cams.. the Swedish chopper builders have been using the twin cam and transmission in their builds for years now.. I know the first few years of twin cam it's easily done just like with a evo. Buddy has a 03 road king that he got rid of all the crap off of.
I don’t know how you do it Scotty and not getting tired of living on the road I’m glad the live on a bike lifestyle works well for you like you say it’s not for everybody
Takes a certain kind of insanity for sure. But its just such an easy life once u get the kinks worked out. That part can be a bit addictive.
@@scootertrampscotty I admire you mate love your videos I always look for them I’m glad your keeping the blue mule as a back up and your right about the electrics there overloaded with it I’d hate too see what my 09 has let alone a new bike and like you said you change a bulb or anything and it throws a code gone are the days of simplicity they should have left Harley’s how they were always ment to be makes me cranky anyways ride safe happy trails luv ya bro tc Anthony sydney Australia
I tad worried benn riding some 50 yrs its not like 20- 30 yrs ago ..distracted drivers in cages @ 67 Ride almost Everyday in Middle Ga
Scotty, you are in what we call the Art District of Asheville. And, as always, a great video, brother.
Nice workshop . Lots of room to move around. Loved all the graffiti riding into wherever the art gallry was.
Really glad you were able to find that bike. Sounds like a good deal for the way you get around. I have heard concerns about the early fuel injection for a long time. Hope it gives you a lot of trouble free miles.
I already have most of the parts to convert it. . .when the time comes.
my guru
Scotty if you get west in july come hit up the run to raton!
Yessir! Thanks for the upload scotty👊
Thank you Scotty
Great Video!
Solid vid Scottie. Thanks man
Great video thanks
Love your videos, take care m8.
Great stuff buddy. I enjoy these videos
Hope to see you in sturgis scotty
Come on then
Your new Bike looks almost Brand New
Love the ride as always, the bath in the creek, love the new bike, red and black being my favorite colors.. My shovel I had painted flat black... Oh and loved the graffiti at the Art Shop.....and your diet.. Happy trails, stay strong.. Peace out....
Very interesting about the bikes and i love the roads and countryside you have over their , like your new bike to lovely.
Nice bike 😊
Red Bike looks pretty good!
Got to have one of those filters!!
Love the new bike! It’s weird seeing you on a red bike😆
I ride a 2008, that’s to new for me but it was a good deal
I have a 2000 roaking with S&S super E and Daytona twintec twc88. It has tach system and adjustable timing. Ive had no trouble since then.
Love the new bike, great video as well. If your ever passing thru Tri Cities Tennessee near Bristol Motor Speedway give me a shout. Great place to relax.
Can u send your state, town name, and number for my records Dennis? I might be up that way pretty soon. STSnomadic@proton.me
You truly inspire me Scotty
I’m slowly working my way toward your type of lifestyle
I’ve got a 2011 Kawasaki vaquero and a 2013 victory vision
I have to decide which one to make the hauler
I personally started by just taking a lot of shorter, then longer rides before going home. Kinda stuck my toes in the water first.
Great Video. Especially interesting the last section about converting old Ultra to carb. I now own my Dad’s 96 Injected Ultra with 50k miles. Great bike but I’ve always wondered how hard to put a carb on it when that early style injection fails. Great bike to ride. I enjoy riding it as much as my late model. Thanks for putting that section in this video.
Super easy. Use a dyntec2000i ignition and coil, get a VOES switch and carb/intake at up. Take you a weekend tops
I haven't done it yet, but already have most of the parts. They tell me its expansive to buy all that stuff. I'm also told that getting a petcock in the tank is the biggest problem. I'll also use a stock ignition because every after market one I've used has ultimately failed. But that is a high milage thing.
Great video I just got another bike 2003 fatboy carburetor model I don't know how much of a difference there is in electronics between it and 97 wideglide so I have to learn it now .
Theres always a few differences. I had to learn em on this bike and it was only 3 years newer than the last one.
Good time
Evo’s are solid motors.
Sandpaper on glass to relieve high spots when possible. That's an old trick, but I'm an old guy! Ride safe!
These windshields are plastic
Are you still running the electronic ignition , my stock 96 Fatboy evolution melted and are discontinued so I’m going back to point system.
Sounds like the pick up unit in the cone melted. Thats normal. Doesnt affect how the thing works. U can also still buy those new. My first stock electronic ignotion lasted 337000 miles. Thats why i like em.
I'm from Brevard which is real close to Asheville. I'll have to check how to shop. 1:21
Since, you ride older bikes. How do you tighten the inner fairing wind deflectors? Mine has a large chrome piece at the bottom that doesn’t have grooves for a screw driver. What is the secret?
Not sure what you're talking about Chris, but those little plastic fairing deflectors just bolt on. That's all.
That bike is beautiful, sray safe and happy trails. Why dont you see if the harley museum would take your old bikes? They restore older ones.alot of prac er less ones as well,lots of history with those.and yours have history
Good idea. Be better unrestored though.
@@scootertrampscotty on historic ones,think they just get them running, dont think they change them much.i cant remember their utube name,they have alot of unusual bikes.just awesome,think they out east somewhere
Check out Wheels through time. They know bikes north carolina I think
There is one that pulls a semi trailer that's actually a house trailer.its beautiful
They just put up a new video
So 12” dominator miter cut bars would really look good on the new bike with some Memphis Shades hand guards added.
Everything i do to it will be strictly functional Brian.
@@scootertrampscotty hand guards keep the cold air off your hands once you put good bars on.I love mine I’ve had Joe put them on both my Harley’s.I too only do fictional
Not everyone is afraid.
😉🤙
👍👍👍👍
I take it the hard drive is toast?
Scotty. Do you ever go to east coast sturgis rally in little Orleans Maryland?
Never have.
Round the edges Scotty on the shield will cause a crack bro
That windshields shot. I gust hacked it off so i could see over it till i get another.
@@scootertrampscotty I would like to join you and try to learn a bit from you I’m in Florida maybe next time you come through
Hit the edges with a butane torch. It won’t crack after you do that
@@Nathan-je2cg
Used to spend winters in Florida. Not lately though.
👋😎🌈
Are you going to have your new motorcycle monogrammed? It’s a nice looking ride.
What's that?
Scotty don't scrap that hard drive. if you know someone who has a computer repair shop good chances they have software to recover what you think you lost. if not make sure before you trash it that you take a high powered magnet like a speaker magnet and run it all over it to destroy what is on it then trash it.
Please dont tell me that new bike has a magnetti marrelli shitty injection.that shit sucks. Mule needs to be in museum.
👋👋👋👍👍🏍️
This May seem like an odd question…. What do you get to eat at the grocery store. Is it something for a quick meal and or get supplies for a few days. I’m looking for practical ways to eat healthy when traveling on my bike for month and longer trips.
That's a tuff one. I like to carry a bag of cereal then get milk the night before. Canned beans sometimes. Roman & Tuna, stuff like that. Mostly it's just emergency food. Like if I run across a nice spot and feel like stopping early then I'll want something to eat, morning coffee, and plenty of water. Otherwise I eat out a lot.
✌😎✌
I'm the third to comment
Hey Scotty are you in Asheville now or was this video from a little while ago ?
I noticed that Jody sells klock werks windshields you should get him to give you a deal on one of those for the red donkey 🫏, as much time as you spend on your bike you will absolutely love that thing !
This was a month ago.
Not there anymore, but I'll just get a free take-off then cut it to the right size. Don't like those fancy windshields anyway. The swoopy ones distort everything when you look through them. Badly!
@@scootertrampscotty that’s the thing about the clockworks windshield. It’s not really made to look through. It’s made to look over and the way it’s designed it blows and redirect the wind up over you. You really should try one one time if I ever run into you I’ll let you take my bike down the road and try it. I love mine and I’m the cheapest bastard on the planet so for me to spend $200 on the windshield is saying something.
What kind of water purifier is that? Looks like a great addition
Grayl
they take a press cartridge. Each cartridge gives about 350 presses from what I read. Thinking about picking one up myself.
Filters out chlorine and fluoride (which used to be a rat and coyote poison) as well.
Im using that thing for all my water now.
@@peted2770 Sounds like a food filtration system
@@scootertrampscotty It's very important to drink chlorine and fluoride free water.
CZcams keeps notifying me of videos from a channel called demon row , but the push them under your channel to me
CensorCZcams sucks. We all hate them.
Scotty - tell me why you don't like FI?
I tell that in the video.
You ridin Red Donkey or Blue Mule to Sturgis?
Mule
Less car less trucks lol
For a man living off his bike with no brick and mortar, you sure stay at a lot of other people's brick and mortar. Is that age setting in?
I don't know. Had my tent set up in the shop. Still sleeping on the ground.
WHAT DOES S T S. MEAN ????
