Just watched your vid, you basically covered most of what I learned over the 40 plus years of riding . You are very wise but you still have plenty still to learn. Could be I’m a slo learner LoL.

My parents are the ones with anxiety.Ive been riding daily for over 40 years and owned over 20 bikes and they still shake their head in disgust and say stupid stuff like "don't get killed on that thing" and I say stupid stuff like "okay, don't get hit head on and killed by a drunk driver on your way to the grocery store"or "don't slip on a bar of soap and break your neck in the shower" yet they still do it every single time without fail!

How tall are you?

What did your dad make of you two eejits?

I was lucky enough to take my full test directly at 21 back in 2008 and jumped straight on a 600 sport bike, great fun but looking back I probably took more risks than I should have having that much power available, but I did pass my driving test at 17 so at least had good road experience by that point which made a difference being able to see situations almost before they unfold. Automatic licence promotion would make sense, but maybe the concern is somebody not riding (or even driving) and just waiting for the time period before jumping on something big, then getting a little carried away (easily done especially at that age at least for me!) and with no road experience at all end up hurting themselves or worse, but if there was a way to prove you've been riding and gained experience during those 2 years I think automatic licence upgrade would make sense

i do like the looks of the new tracer but am not sold on a semi auto gearbox, sounds like it will take away took much fun of a motorbike ride, i may be wrong!

That’s your next bike 🏍️! It looks lush

Car drivers 🤪🤪🤣🤣

"Without further ado." ... Ado's further 🙊🙊🙊

Never mod out you're first bike. Its a waste of money. You're going to grow out it within a season. Everything for motorcycles is expensive, so get yourself a slip on exhaust and save the rest of that money for you're next bike. Also, mods aren't going to increase the resale value (no one cares) and considering how much you have done many dealerships wont take it on trade in if its heavily modded. Oh, and don't buy cheat amazon parts. Especially when it comes to controls or protection. You're regret it. You get what you pay for.

Sometimes I cycle on my no gears bicycle, its easy to maintain and you dont spend any money on it. You just lock it up and go into a building easy. But im gonna see if I can get a Dutch bicycle when my motorcycle isnt used. There are Dutch style roundabouts in UK now where you have to give way to cyclists by law. I like firearms hobby iv got a few air airsoft sport guns at home.

Trust me, you won't go over the speed limit on a Royal Enfield Classic 350. However, does my face look bovvered?

I don't like it when I need to scratch my nose, sneeze or cough. Or when my nose runs. Young people will start riding motorcycles again when they can no longer afford cars - just like in India, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan. Or like me. I'm 66 and mainly got a motorcycle again because it is cheaper and has a better fuel economy than a car. It also reminds me about the days in the seventies and eighties when my girlfriend and I toured all over Europe on my £800 Suzuki GT550 with an old tent and old sleeping bags. Good times.

Re bike tests, I passed my test at 17 (around 50 years ago) bike tests were easy back then, could I pass these days, very unlikely, I feel sorry for the complicated procedure and expense todays riders have to endure, still believe it to be a money making scheme, anyway ride safe Ella x

a lot of these are actually pluses :))

The speed is something you do get used to - and it isn't the ability to accelerate from 0-100mph (on private land obviously) in about 7 seconds, its the 40-70 in the blink of an eye that gets you every time and puts such a grin on your face :D I don't mind the getting ready at all, because once its done - you're riding and thats why we do what we do, the feeling of riding. The security, well - if you worry about the kind of people who steal stuff, you'll never have anything you like, so just do what you sensibly can to make your bike less attractive to the dregs of society and get good insurance! I'll be honest, my bike is still standard - with the exception of a tank protector and a tailbag. I bought it because I loved it from the moment I test rode it, it doesn't need changing (I won't pretend I don't think about it though!) Depends on the weather? Wimp ;) The only time I won't ride is in snow or ice. I hate the salt - my girl can't get rusty, but as long as you wash the bike off after a salty ride its all good. Meets are fewer, but I'm lucky and as long as its not raining - most people I know are still using their bikes.

Hi , slightly off topic. What clamp are you using on your GoPro360 and how does it fare at Motorway speeds attached to your windscreen ?? thanks.

easy to break speed limits without realising? it doesn't take long to realise that once we reach 3rd gear, we need to slow down again... and yes that's just leaving an intersection sedately. Once I was maybe two weeks in to riding a 250, I found myself needing to get clear of a driver that obviously has never had a driving instruction in their life... I had dropped down to second because they were hesitating and being erratic with movements. so when I had a clear escape path I used it... and went from 30km/h to 70 just like that, in the space of a second, I was past, clear and free... but doing 20km/h over the limit... That stayed in my head for days! it was quite shocking how quick it was when the throttle got opened the whole way for the first time!

Are you American? Why do you say "on accident" "addicting" and "a bunch of". You're either American or you need to spend less time on tiktok. In case you're unaware the correct terms are "by accident" "addictive" and "loads of".

Excelent points.

There is only one down side to motorcycling it's called car drivers

Had two bikes stolen. Was found in a river. The one was set alight.

Part 2s are _so_ 2016 UA-cam... All the kids are doing Tier lists now. C'mon TTB!

2:08 agreed, in a car i can text, drink a redbull, vape, change station and daydream at the same time... Just messing, i dont vape

There’s a lot of negatives about biking but if I could go back I’d do it all again but I’d stay at home on the days I crashed or got nicked 😂. Joking aside the real obstacle is cost, I’ve said before - you have to crave what bikes offer because on paper it makes zero sense to choose one over a car. Once you’ve fadged around getting licences etc it’s not even cheap anymore. I think you posted on Instagram about trying to get an insurance quote on a ZX4RR a few days ago, a bike designed to appeal to younger riders. If you can’t even get a quote then what’s the point of it all?

Good to see you ride in the winter. Good on you. So do I. Most people shove their bike in the garage and get into their nice warm cars!

Bikes stored in my house locked & alarmed (Liverpool)

Defo addictive. As a semi retired old guy I don’t need to commute so just ride for fun. Time flies by and seem to be filling up every few days. Not keen on the cold weather! Ha!

The ice this morning made me think should i get a car and i thorght nah cars are for Pussiholes

Great points! Thanks for sharing

Was drawn in by part one and not wanting the other half to attempt her A1! As much as I want her too lol. Nice clear content 👏

Hi...personally...I always keep my bike gear in the same place and use the time putting it on as a pre-bike exercise.....extra bends and stretching. Same with getting the bike of the garage/lock up etc...then ready to go.

Thank you for not cutting out the gaps between words in your speech like some people do between every single word (so annoying).

Almost rode past my house in this one! Used to be great bike meets in Morcott too until the pub changed hands. Good points raised in this one, biking can be tough, it's gotta be a passion for sure.

On the point of being followed, I live up a cul de sac and it’s quiet, I was out on Halloween and I had just gotten home and put the bike in the back ready to lock up and I had an alert on my door cam, some little scrote no helmet and no plates on a dirt bike was using the bike light to scan the gardens and driveways at the top of my street where I live . No doubt I was seen pulling into my street and I live at the very top of the road so 100% was looking to see if I had parked on the drive or to get an idea of where it was . Put me on edge, even now I stress every morning that it is still there, I had bumped up my anchors just in case after my lambretta was stolen last year so at least I have a little more to fall back on . Great vid though matey 😄

Another good video! On the subject of cold weather, it was -4 this morning 😬My wee heated hand grips and winter gloves didn't stand a chance! Hopefully yours fare better. Like you, still planning on riding through the winter months but definitely not enjoying as much😂 Stay safe!

You ain’t kidding about the cost of biking. I got into biking later in life. Although I’ve had my full licence for 20 years, I didn’t buy my first bike until 5 years ago. I dread to think how much I’ve spent on biking… at my last count I now have 5 motorcycles jackets!! When I come across new riders and they say “I only need 1 jacket”, I look and smirk. I think to myself, let’s meet up in 12 months and let’s see how many jackets you now have…, 🤣🤣🤣 Great posting. Says riding out there guys & gals 😊

Best thing is, in just over three weeks time the days start getting longer. Heated vest wired to a battery tender cable is the way forward for doing the miles in colder weather, pair that with your heated grips and you're good to go. Keeping my fingers crossed for you getting a clear, dry riding day

Top tips Tip Toe! 4k subs and rising! Great content, encouraging for all those interested in motorcycling. Especially the youngest . Keep going.

I definitely get that ecceleration (and losing time in a positive way) ,from a 125 to a 750, with a 350 in the middle. I had to comment early on as it struck a cord, lol 😆. Thanks for sharing, and see you on your next adventure 👊 🤙 🤘 Oh, and p.s. Saturday should be a good day for a ride, Long Mynd for me and a 100 mile round trip 😊

zx-4rr is the one girl.

Same thing in a car always assume everyone else is a horrible driver, which they are. But u crash a car your fine… a motercycle not so much

is 3000$ a good price for a 2015 ninja 500 second hand good condition

oh boy they might not see me but they can def hear my 2 stroke at 6k rpm behind em

Just like anything on 2 wheel's anticipate the worst and 99% of the time you can avoid an accident.

too much... gotta be thinking at least 5 step aheads for other people..

As someone who cycles (amongst other modes of transport) I get that!

Great bike. A little tall though. I've always had the opposite issue actually. I can never find comfortable cruisers because they just don't allow me to ride without my knees being up to my chin.

Tiptoebiker whats your height ( the lady’s). Thanks.

People frequently just aren't aware of you. And yes, there is the occasional w@nker that just doesn't like bikes. Ride as if you are invisible to others and your surrounded by idiots is my advice.
