MY FRIENDS KEEP DYING ON MOTORCYCLES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- This season, like every motorcycle riding season was full of statistics. These stats included 2 people I met and became friends with for a short time. Unfortunately the reality of dying on a motorcycle is one we have consider every time we go out and ride. But it doesn't make it any easier - especially when it happens to people we know.

TLDR: Your videos literally saved my life.
Hey man, I wanted to thank you for your videos and the message you send. I ended up pulling the trigger and buying a bike but thanks to a random video of yours that was on my recommended page, I decided to get a full suit and the best gear I can get, and then spend the remaining budget on a bike. A drunk driver ended up slashing across the freeway into me while I was doing 90 and sent me flying. If it weren't for the gear you recommended I wouldn't still be here today. The message you're promoting and the videos you upload really do save lives. At least you know for sure it saved the life of one 18 year old kid and I want to thank you for that. Keep doing what you're doing and take care of yourself. Cheers.
This made my day. Thanks for sharing fam and I’m happy you’re safe!
Legend mate. Similar thing happened to me too, not that extreme. Glad you're okay
No worries. Keep up what you're doing and thanks so much. Take care@@adobomoto
@@freddieparrydrums yeah i was lucky as hell. walked away with a broken collarbone, fractured my right tib and broke fib, and fractured my radius. But nothing permanent or life threatening.
This is the reason i dont ride past 9pm around 7 to 8pm is when clubs open people are drunk by 7:30pm and gets worse till 4am where the road is filled with drunk drivers. Same thing almost happened to me in my car not my bike and glad your safe. Ride during the day the night is scary.
Started riding when I was 19. A childhood friend and I got our bikes for the first time. He died within six months in a brutal accident. Two years later a casual friend died on a bike. A guy down my street rode drunk and smashed his skull. Survived but was acting weird the last time i saw him. A riding buddy lost his toe low sliding into a corner. Many other incidents I witnessed firsthand.
22 years later I'm still riding and never going to stop.
The great filter of those that become RIDERS and those that move on happens in the first few years.
Wow! Finally, someone said what should be said! Everything I have ever owned and driven has been fast. My first bicycle, 5 speed Stingray. My first car, 67 Buick with a 430 big block. A string of bikes 750cc - 1200cc. My main bike now is a ZL1000A1. The temptation is always there. But I too have lost friends in cars and on bikes. I am always being pushed by people to give it hell, but refuse to give in to their pressure or my need for speed. Play it safe, have some fun, but don't ever let your guard down. I will see my friends soon enough.
This is the biggest reason I got off the street. Had too many people pass away and get hurt and I only rode for 10 months. I bought a dirtbike to stay on 2 wheels and ride track and woods. It's still dangerous but I don't have to worry about all the other people on the streets but still get my fix for 2 wheels.
If you want to go truly fast, sign up for a track day. You will get your fix of "The need for speed" and believe it or not, you will be much safer. No cars, no cops, no kids, no bicycles, no oncoming traffic, corner workers to warn you of trouble, and an ambulance 30 seconds away if you do fall off. *Extremely* unlikely to die on a track day *and* you are going *much* faster than you can continuously go on the street...
Feel ya on this. My family worries about me after I had a wreck. Totally unscathed from it but its still tough. Havent lost anyone yet but it does worry me sometimes. Riding is just too damn precious to let go
You know Abe, I didn’t like you too much at first..(Gsxr hater😂) but after watching your content, especially this video, I’ve had a change of heart. You really are a good man who hates Gixxers 😂 be safe out there my non squid brotha🫡💪💯 🏍️
Literally why I just sold mine. I ride off road, single track trail riding and also have had a couple of Indian on road bikes. Sold the Indians simply because peoples ability to maintain focus on their driving and not their cell phones these days is at an all time high. I can be responsible for my own variables in the woods.....I can't for some guy or girl liking pics on IG and slamming into me just trying to go to dinner with my wife. All my road bikes were sold.
I'm almost 60 have been riding since 78. There is 2 kinds of riders, those who have crashed and those who are gonna crash.
How was your first crash ?
About to subscribe cause of your moms with the magnifying glass 😂
Nope. Never lost a biker friend. Attended a funeral for an 82 yr old family member and biker the other day, it was old age. He had Ducati’s. I don’t associate with anyone who rides like a moron on public roads - we don’t know each other. Speed is overrated - life’s a journey.
Love your family man. keep them close because before you know it you'll be separated and it will never be the same again. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
how to SWERVE On A Motorcycle while an opposite vehicle comes in wrong side when you are cornering at high speed ? ‼
Notice how it’s all highway deaths. How about not driving on highways? It’s really not rocket science. 😂
Best thing about isolating yourself, no one fucking cares, they'll never know where your body is.
Rip 🙏 go doing what you love
I've ridden for 7 years and haven't lost a friend or even had one get injured... that's because I haven no friends to ride with 🥲
going on a ride tonight, ride safe
I rock geico. My experience was a bit different. I got railroaded by a drunk driver. Geico legit handled everything with my attorney. They even sent me all new gear and a new helmet. The other guy was uninsured and had no license or assets. I didn't have uninsured motorist on my insurance, but Geico honored it anyway. I had almost 500K in medical bills and only paid out my deductible and the ambulance fee. It was expensive, but I didn't even complain. The guys in the ambulance (shout out to Care ambulance los angeles) were amazing.
That’s awesome man! I called for a tow truck, they said they were sending one, it never came - no phone call or anything the next day. Like it never happened
@adobomoto that sucks. Experiences may vary, it seems. Been with them now for about 15 years. We also have AAA as a backup, they have several tow companies that are exclusive to them in the area as well. If one doesn't have availability, the other should.
@@adobomotothat's most likely the tow company's fault. They can be pretty sketchy especially with motorcycles. They are dispatched by the insurance companies and are told where to go with the number on file. It's unreal how easy it is to click complete on the tow apps without even having to input pictures or times. I used to work for a wrecker service and not everyone there was trustworthy to say the least.
How much per month do u pay
@juarbecorbin77 I have 2 cars, and a 1967 shovelhead harley full coverage. Just over 2k a year.
Just lost a friend with over 30 years of riding experience and even has been an instructor for 15 years…. But sadly…. No match for the drunk driver that came across his path..😢
RIP Saverio. Ride on in Heaven..
my youngest son is 24 and had been on a motorcycle since he was 4, just like his older brother, and just like me ( now in my 50s ) a month ago he got clipped by the back of a semi trailer that swerved into his lane on the highway while on his bike. he hit the pavement at over 80mph and was lucky to have not been run over. he suffered a shattered femur and a broken foot and some road rash. His gear saved his life. as a life long motorcyclist, many friends and family have not been so lucky. Keep your head on a swivel and be safe out there, everyone.
Truck drivers have been riding too long on that " if you can't see my mirrors I can't see you " BS.
they need 360 sensors and cameras to be made mandatory.
It's ridiculous that kind of heavy machinery is allowed to run at those speeds with such flaws in its designs.
A cost of $400,000 per child, wondering how you paid? How you say, “your children” You didn’t pay, I paid for them. They’re mine (make the money & do the math)
@@Van-vh5sz the hell you on about?
@@Treacherous_Onehe's probably on the meth
@yingyangorca4124 I'm a truck driver, and your statement is very ignorant
My grandma got diagnosed with cancer in August. At first they said it was nothing and then she went back and they said she had stage 4 cancer. She was contemplating going through Chemo or not, she was saying its just a waste of money and stuff like that. She ended up changing her mind and now she's doing it, 1 appointment at a time. She was saying regardless if she makes it or not she got God on her side. Hope everything works out with your Aunt and hopefully she beats it! Fuck Cancer
Thanks for sharing fam. We’ll fight it to the bitter end
@@adobomoto yessir wishing for the best!
Stay strong guys. My grandpa got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer about a year ago and we thought that was gonna be the end but he stayed strong and went through the chemo and is now cancer free. Miracles truly do happen. God bless
Yeah, f@ck cancer! My mother died 5 days ago from cancer! I hope your grandma fights it and you get many more years with her!
Not sure type of cancer, but look into radical change in diet, to include cutting sugar completely. Mileage may vary.
Real shit bro. Im 26 and have already lost two friends, one who was only 20. Be safe guys, no one needs to lose a best friend
Just got my first bike today, cfmoto 450ss. Excited and scared at the same time I'll be honest. One foot in front of the other is the name of the game, I take delivery tomorrow. Wish me luck 🤞 👊
Thanks for the confidence...I guess.
Ride safe don’t speed too much brother. I’ve started riding for 5 months so im a new rider too
Congratulations!!
Ride as though you are invisible, and anyone who CAN see you is TRYING to kill you. You will be shocked how many people will try to kill you with their cars, but you can do this. Just expect it.
Been riding a year bro, shit gets wicked. Stay aware and stay safe bro. Btw where did u order from that you can take delivery??
I've put 100,000 plus miles on two wheels... Before cell phones. I've been a Cop for 35 years now and have literally scraped my fair share of people who ride like morons, and people who ride safely, off of the road. The vast majority of the motorcyclists I see body bagged are idiots driving like complete assholes. Guys like this UA-camr are needed. Thanks for being responsible with your message, you're saving lives.
This is all rules I TRY to live by. I dress for the slide, not the ride, and I KNOW I'm a new rider, so I don't let peer pressure rule my judgement. Be safe, and have FUN, family.
Statistically speaking, sadly it comes with the territory.
Wear your gear and there's a time and place for everything. Do all you can to better your chances.
🤙🏻❤
Stay safe riders.
Absolutely
It does but we can still try to ride dangerously in the safest way. If you're gonna pin the throttle do it in a straight that you know has no roads people can pull out from for example. We all gotta be careful and know the stakes, and plan the ride
Facts. I don't know what's the stigma around not wearing gear. Having a striker vest, helmet and gloves is not good enough. Wear gear not for yourself, but maybe just so your loved ones don't have to deal with a closed casket ceremony 😢❤
The joke is, you can't ride dangerous and be safe at the same time. It's like not wanting to be wet but wanting to be in water. If you want to go fast, go to a track. Doing it on the street doesn't just risk your life, other people don't necessarily want to die from your hands.@@LSB44446
Amen
I've actually recently decided to get out of riding after 19 years. Just isn't worth it anymore. I appreciate you sharing a message like this with new riders
I've been thinking about it after riding for about 2.5 years. I'm young, already been hit by a car, and have lost friends. I have a zx10 and pairing that with my love for adrenaline I wonder if I can realistically stay safe.
Why did you decided that?
im wondering the same thing
@@morphreynard6764a lot of it has to do with noticing that drivers in my area have gotten very bad. That and a canyon ride in which a buddy of mine had to take a 2.5hr detour to get home on a 100 degree day because they closed the road due to a rider dying
That specific day took a lot of the passion out of canyon riding for me, and finding out recently that a neighbor of mine died in the canyons a few months later all just kind of made me decide it’s not worth it.
It’s a shame. I love my Panigale to pieces but I don’t itch to ride it anymore
I guess I should add that I have been down also with a gnarly accident in 2008 that I was lucky to walk away from. Took me a minute to get back into it after that one. Needed to see a chiropractor for a year to treat 14 dislocated vertebrae and 9 dislocated ribs. No broken bones and could’ve been much worse if I wasn’t geared up
I absolutely love riding whenever I’m on the bike. But the thought of riding just doesn’t enter my mind anymore
Love your videos man. I definitely feel you loosing buddies. Can't wait to get rid of my Harley and get back on a sportbike man.
Not gonna lie, mototubers don’t speak on losing friends/death on 2 wheels enough. You hear about it, but they don’t stress how serious this 💩 is enough. I kinda understand why, it’s hard to talk about losing people and nobody wants to watch sad content all the time but I don’t think people understand how easy it is to leave on a motorcycle and not come back home. I’ve lost 4 people I knew this year, 1 being a very close friend. It’s to the point where I don’t push people to get a bike anymore, if they chose to ride I commend them but I don’t try to influence people to get one if they’re on the fence. When I lost my friend it took me a few weeks to be myself on the bike again, that’s another thing motovloggers need to cover, coping and getting back on the bike after losing someone
most ppl realize how dangerous riding a bike is. The first thing ppl say when you tell them you want to ride a bike is that it's a death trap. Its riders themselves who undermine how serious it is.
I would never encourage a person to ride a motorcycle. I don't want to have to deal with the guilt if something happens to them.
I have been riding on the street since I was 16 years old and I'm 57 now, I have had 2 accidents all this time, both not my fault. I have also done track for 10 plus years, and NEVER crashed. Things I do to help me stay alive and out of trouble, my dad made me ask every old rider we say, what his secret was for staying alive, I still do this today. I never ride with more than 3 to 5 man groups. I have had so many friend crash when riding with 10 plus guys. I never ride beyond my comfort level every time I go riding. I never let my ego or hormones get the best of me.
I've been riding since I was 12 and now that I am 62, I believe in practicing situational awareness and always be scanning the traffic ahead, behind, and either side of you...
Started riding 5 years ago in 2018. Best years was 2019 and 2020 riding season. So much fun and adrenaline and excitement.
Then 1 friend died from a motorcycle accident year 2021.sad..but ok move on,I still love riding. Then I witnessed 2 crash incident..ok..scary
.Then one of my closest riding buddy also died from a motorcycle accident year 2022. That sucked the whole enjoyment of riding for me. I still ride but the vibe is not what it used to be.
All I can say is ride safe everyone. Bike Life is good but there are more things in life than riding. Stay safe.
I’m sorry for your losses brother, just know they would want you to keep goin for em. The joy you had those times may be gone BUT there’s more to come much much more joy to come. Godspeed brother. Please ride safe.
You always teach me something. You should keep on doing vlogs. I see your numbers growing. Your shorts help a lot too.
I still haven't lost anyone in my riding group but I can't imagine how painful it would feel when I already feel pain for people who lost friends from theirs :
Part of the reason I ride is for my friends who died riding. I know in my heart they wouldn't want me to give up the one thing that we love to do because of them. I miss them and I think about them every time I get on my bike and I feel them riding next to me all the time. I never get on a bike without at least a helmet, gloves and riding jacket. Ride to keep the good memories of your friends alive.
I dont ride, Ive had 6 friends die on them, I dont wish to die so I bought a car. Owe none of them were racing, they were in simple accidents, one guy just lost a leg being rear ended at a stop sign. I told my kid if they ever ride I will disown them, dont even bother coming home or calling on holidays...bye. Waiting for the hateful comments lol, note Ive lost people and I as non rider have the ability to look at things clearly
Your mom is a national treasure and she needs to be protected at all costs
my best friend has been dead 1 year this oct 6. feels like yesterday we were in his garage dreaming up places to go and milestones to hit together. cherish your friends if you have them and take lots of pictures together.
Just had my first crash on the way to work, had all my gear on and still got a broken arm and totaled bike. Happy that I was able to walk away but i'll keep riding after I get better. Stay safe out there. #pinoy
Rest up man 🙏
Bummer man! How'd you do it? I spent the first couple months this year stuck at the house healing for the same reason. About to get back on 😆🙄
@@gabrieltiso8537 I was going about 50 or so (normal traffic speeds) on a one lane road so i was the oncoming traffic. Wasn't at a light or anything so the lady had stopped in the middle to turn on a side road. She had totally stopped then decided that she would turn last minute leaving me no time to react. Most I could do was the emergency breaking procedure/swerve with what little space I had. Ended up colliding with the back end of the SUV taking off her bumper and sending me flying. Happened literally outside of my neighborhood. Good way to start a Friday am i right? Lol. Got the surgery scheduled this week then court next week since she wants to challenge the ticket since cop made her 100% at fault. Can never be too careful, but thats not gonna stop me !
@@anonymousgaming. will do tyty
@@LoloAJ_ dang well sounds like you at least saved yourself from hitting the car directly. Wish my story was that cool. I simply low sided on cold pavement one December night with my brand new tires. Learned that lesson the hard way. Had to wait two weeks for surgery since I didn't have health insurance 🤦♂️ lol
Lost a buddy back in July and lost another one a few days ago shits rough man hope y’all ride and stay safe ❤️
Progressive Insurance knows exactly how much to charge GSXR riders.
1. BMW S1000R $1200/year full coverage.
2. Suzuki GSXS1000 $300/year full coverage.
3. Suzuki GSXR1000 $2500/year full coverage.
4. Kawasaki ZX6R even higher...
My dude got a sponsorship from a big company now! Coming a long way
Wouldn’t be here without you guys supporting the videos
This is why my main is a car. My bike is only for fun weekends. Reduce the frequency, reduce the chances. Plus gear significantly helps when it does happen.
I do the same, dont ride so often, but then again i think its a bit lying to yourself because its still risky 😂
I highly support and recommend your videos. I know to you its also mainly a revenue stream and sometimes the videos are a bit cheesy BUTTTTTTT you're doing an amazing job at educating new and current riders. For that, you have my support always from toronto, canada. 🎉
I am a Cancer Survivor. I have one of the worst cancers you can have. T-Cell Aggressive Leukemia. I fought for a year to live and I am in remission. It led me to try riding and I'm so glad I gave it my all. I learned lessons that no person could teach me. And it gave me the opportunity to become a better man. So if you or anyone else you know needs to talk about it with someone who's been through it. Reach out to me. I'm here and so are many other survivors. We stick together.
I also was inspired to be a little more outgoing due to your enthusiasm. While still wearing 1300 worth of Kevlar every time I ride.
Thank you. I'm ready to pay your kindness forward.
Replying to my own comment to get it more traction. Thanks algorithm.
Love watching your vids and reels. Always looking daily for the next one.
Appreciate it fam
Love your videos man. You keep it real. And hit on the hard hitting things when we know it's hard to do. And on top of that you bring him some comedic relief as well. Much respect to you and your style. More of this is needed around the world.
2005 was my last ride on the r1 I had. Gear was key me coming back home. I was 17. Last time even got on one was in 2012 had rode down the street and parked it. People dont pay attention and half are driving toasted. Good info stay safe.
I’ve been riding for 10 years I’m 28 I have a 21 S1000RR and let me let the new riders in on some shit, if you ride like an asshole expect things to happen almost daily. Used to be me until I turned 25. Now when I ride I just chill unless there’s literally nobody around…
I’ve only had 1 person almost hit me this riding season the other day by not paying attention, back in the day when I was reckless that was at least 3x a week. The road is not a racetrack or a prepped surface, things can and will happen if you ride recklessly.
Keep the rubber side down and don’t let people push you🫡 also shoutout from Reno, NV 🤙🏽
Honestly the risk is what makes me hesitant. Sucks the coolest things in life are the most dangerous. Im 19 and know im bound to make stupid decisions i just hope i don’t make one that kills me lmao
The risk should, but it can be minimized with proper approach. Many start on the street, instead of some years in the dirt first. The learning curve for mistakes, that will happen, are cheaper on a dirt bike. This will allow learning valuable motor reflexes that need to happen without though when something goes bad on the street that you would never get starting on the street. Once you move to the street, track days are where you learn performance riding, NOT the street. Master braking skill first, never ride speeds faster than you know how to emergency control brake...Some solid advice, if you do jump.
Preach dude. RIP to your friends. As a favor please make sure my uncle Ray rides safe!
I almost died on a motorcycle i was hit by a drunk driver.I woke up in the hospital with a broken jaw 3 lost teeth broken leg and a broken collar bone .They found my teeth in the helmet in the foam . Please be careful riding and pay attention to your surroundings.
STOP RIDING STREET BIKES!! Dude seriously get your friends to stop riding street bikes, you can only have fun in the triple digits on the highway with a street bike! Get a supermoto bro! Everyone needs to buy a supermoto. Get one for your mom, for your kid. Supermoto can cure depression! Prevent suicide! Supermoto can save the world bro
Your Mom is a riot. She always makes me smile when you have her on.
She's so cool and funny !
Had a bad crash Last week, still in hospital. I am happy to be alive but my Right leg is completely fucked. Will have a lot of surgery in the Next few months and need to learn to Walk again. To be fair i really loved riding my bike but i will Never again. Not beeing Able to Walk for 1-2 years is Just Not worth it in my opinion. I have a feeling that the Next crash will be my death so i wont buy a New bike.
I understand the passion Guys but remeber it takes one second for it to be over. Ride safe ❤
progressive is kinda cool, but they wanted nearly $800 a month for insurance XD (full coverage) I have one speeding ticket ever, (37 in a 30 btw) I contacted them and they said that was the correct price XD I went with a smaller company that gave me $184 a month (I have a 2022 Ninja650 (non abs)
I live near you Adobo.
Lost a homie in on i5 in the tunnel by the hospital in Seattle in July and didn't touch my bikes for a little over a month.
Condolences bro
It’s not me.
It’s the drivers.
I quit. I will never ride the street ever again and I don’t miss it at all. I love my kids, being with my wife every morning and will never trade one millisecond of that for “fun”.
It’s not even close to being worth it.
Hurts man, lost one of my best friends on our favorite road a couple of weeks ago. Still almost doesn't feel real. Ride safe friends, you have no idea how much you mean to those around you.
Humble rider for sure. I just had to sub. I’ve been wanting to ride since 16 and now I’m almost 32 and in the process of looking for my first bike. I’m sure if you set boundaries, you will be fine.
Most of the professional riders don't ride on the street and I know of some that don't even have a motorcycle license. Take it to the track if you want to have safe fun and enhance your riding skills.
Just learn how to ride..?
I *REALLY* appreciate you pushing gear! I see far too many squids out there blasting down the highway at high speed wearing jeans and t-shirts. My friend Maxy (Formerly of Max Wrist) was the one who told me to NEVER ride without full gear. I bought a track suit at the same time I got my ZX10. I've never crashed, but I can say I did everything possible to stay safe in the event I do crash. RIP to your friends who lost their life.
BROdobo!!! Hahahaha Always big ups for that inside look at motolife, frfr fam! But yo! For that gloves on, kicksta up, and fully committed but...frikkn keys in the pocket?! Thats what flight tags are for! I always have a flight tag or wrist lanyard on each of my moto keys my guy! But here's an added tip brobro: When pocketing your keys leave the flight tag slightly sticking out of whatever pocket you stuff them in and BADABING-BADABOOM! No need to remove the skins/gauntlets, fam! YW, think nothing of it. And, flight tags make keys far harder to lose track of when the shuffle turns into struggle. Keep ripping them lanes on two wheels, ya know, It's a Vibe! Stay blessed and always, Ride Better Than Yesterday! One Love, Two Wheels bromigo! Nyoom Nyoom is Life Yeeeee!
I had just recently lost a friend of mine on a r1 sadly, thank you for your information and videos over safety and tips. Stay safe everyone you never know when it could be your last ride.
I lost my leg earlier this year in a wreck. Ripped off on scene. Terrible experience but let me tell yall even if your doing everything right. The chances are still never 0.
Sorry to hear. That’s brutal. What happened if you don’t mind me asking?
I lost mine last year. Was also dismembered. Right leg, above the knee.
Absolutely right. The best thing you can do though is minimize the risk, and that's mostly common sense.
what happened if you dont mind me asking?@@darryl1351
It’s not sport unless it’s on a track. It’s transport if it is on a public street or a hobby if you’re riding recreationally with friends (but still transport).

lost my best friend/riding buddy 28 aug 2023...rip bro
My sister is fighting cancer right now and man she is hitting them lefts and rights atm. I have lost a ton of people in my life and I have not touched a motorcycle in over 20 years and only rode a couple of times, got back into it and was looking for that bike. But I am almost forty which means I can not recover as fast as the young bucks so I got a starter 250cc bike, I know what my next bike will be but I figured giving myself time to set some muscle memory of the low end speed riding before I attempt to get a missile on two wheels!
I know going vroom is amazing but there is always a time, place and safety must always take priority. If your in a parking lot not able to get above 7-15mph there is always less risk but 120,140,200mph? You have to at some point use common sense.
Kuya, what do you think about the new Aprilia 457 that’s coming out! I’m thinking of getting it & trading in my CFMoto 450😅 I just got my CF450 not to long ago but & im 4 payments away of paying off the bike already. I know I already have a good feeling that I won’t feel any power difference other than the torque, plus the seat height 😅
Defo not worth imo. If all you want is electronic gadgets with no more go, then sure. But I'd upgrade to a 120 horsepower bike next.
All to familiar. I had to be helicoptered off the highways to a shock-trauma. A drunk guy in a heavy old American car took me out at highway speed... there was no escape, no time to react. A full face helmet saved my live. I was always an advocate for the full face lid and at the time helmets weren't required by law. Remember, no mater how good you are, there are always no-win situations. Get the best safety gear you can afford and always wear it.
Ride safe and good luck!
I just bought a Yamaha R1 Rn12 after riding a R3 for the last year. It do be rippin. Stay safe out there folks ✌
You are crazy... stay safe
Here in PH I have a mindset of "no matter if the motorcycle is 150cc or 1000cc we still meet up on 20kpm speed limit because of traffic. It's better to be safe than sorry.
3:23 malunggay or moringa(murungai) is just a spinach native to indian sub continent
just bought a 2008 yamaha r6 cuz of your channel, i’ll ride safe.
almost lost a leg last year in a freak accident
to be honest I always crash on the dirt and off road and theres a risk of serious injury
but I couldnt comprehend getting hit by a car Im so averse to any car
I am shocked when I see when I see videos of people who ride bikes theyre like all up challenging cars and shit
it is fucking ridiculous
I understand people like GXRBRAH who ride like this at 180mph and get entertainment out of it
even if I think riding that way is stupid I see why hes doing it
but the amount of people who put themselfs at uness risk at 60-80 by trying to ride near cars
is insane to me
I know its a possibility that I could get hit by a car myself
but Its much less than a lot of people that ride, and im not even a good rider.
never gone down or even really come close on the road
doing everything I can for it to stay that way
Ride safe bro. Pray before riding
You too brother
'' no prizes at the end '' ....and his bike has no Side Mirrors. nice bro

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD why some people are willing to risk their life for the sake of looking cool. Especially here in the philippines...
What's the point of looking cool while riding if you cant even ride anymore cause you're paralized/dead.
My self imposed rule is safety over style. I've had so many "kamote riders" intimidate me by revving their motorcycles (125cc and above -- ESPECIALLY those in the 125cc - 160cc categories) when passing by me or at a stop light and then immediately zoom fast away from me... all for the sake of looking cool in front of me and others.
They're so insecure about their motorcycle (or their PP) that they ALWAYS had to show off and/or prove themselves to compensate ...
I'm not here to race you, I'm here to go somewhere. Hopefully not where you're going. Leave me alone lol.
Then they start crying and asking for donations the moment they get into an accident because they cant afford the hospital bill despite the fact they CAN AFFORD all those motorcycle mods they installed....(for our foreign viewers, that is VERY COMMON here in the philippines)
So its either they bought those with borrowed money (dumb) or they're cheap motorcycle mods (also dumb)
And in both cases, its a lose-lose. Either Borrow money or save up money to look cool while also keeping the bike robust, or cheap out and risk the bike's integrity
Former case: If you get into an accident, you now have to pay the hospital bill (+ the money you owe if you borrowed some)
Later case: You bought cheap stuff and you suffered the consequences
TLDR: I hate people who show off for the sake of showing off.
Wanna increase your chances of surviving a crash and actually walking away with little to no major injuries? Then buy and wear a freaking airbag vest. The technology has only been out since the 90’s and the best riders in n the world wear them while doing 180mph plus on the track. They have what is considered to be the worst crashes and most of the time get up and walk off the track. Ask yourself is Your life worth $600.00 because your don’t want to look uncool wearing it? News flash you should’ve wearing full gear anyway. Do you Like walking and feeding yourself vs having your mother wipe your 25 year old ass forever? Then get a freaking airbag vest and stop fucking around in traffic! There are excellent riders out there who can do it all but odds are that ain’t you, it sure is hell ain’t me.
Get the damn vest and wear it over your gear that should already have armor in it. When doing dangerous things nothing is ever 100%, each piece of this safety gear is to mitigate injuries. Used in conjunction with each other as well as smart riding skills and sound life choices your odds will be better than average rider regardless of their experience.
I’ve made a ton of videos on mine, i even have an airbag backpack
@@adobomoto That’s good to hear. My statement was a general one and not directed towards you. I just came across this video and your channel today. I will check out your content for sure.
I don't like tiktok or shorts but your shorts are funny ngl xD Having your mother put your Aprilla on the rear stand was eye watering funny xD Just hearing your mom and you laughing that is so infecting, I just join it xD
I’ve seen it said in forums before, but first time I’ve heard it said on UA-cam. Every rider should hear it. “THERE’S NO TROPHY”. The street can lure you out of your comfort zone quickly
You and your mom have the same laugh, heartwarming. Great video
Gotta say I started on a Vespa '74 P200. Wasn't a couple decades till I bought a 929. Tried a few other CRB's and a GSXR 750 till I realized I didn't need all that power. Now I ride an XT500 & a SV650 and pass SB's in the twisties on both.
No judgment....just what worked out for me.
I gave up riding, it’s too dangerous, not worth it. It seems like I was having a brush with death on a regular basis. Roads are horrible here, deer and elk everywhere, people on their phones everywhere you go, there’s a point where you have to be self aware enough to just give it up.
An acquaintance of mine got paralized from the waist down because a car overtook another car in a blind corner and crashed frontally into him. He was just on his commute.
@@Tony.795 I’ve seen some wild stuff over the years, fortunately most of it was from the safety of my car
I love your videos bro. I first watched you video on TikTok and it was awesome! Ride safe always kababayan! 😁
You and CycleCruza are my favorite motovloggers.
I always leave a big cushion of space, never pass on passenger side and if I feel uncomfortable going through an intersection i tap the horn.
Rip stay strong bro life will it u hard and it will get better
Go to track if you want to speed 😊
I wanna see that ducati on the road
Ironic that this video is displayed on my homepage as others that watch MaxWrist also watch.... 😂
I'm a motor deputy. So, I am on-call for fatal/major injury collisions that happen in my city. People need to stop purchasing and riding bikes they cannot control. There are too many people who ride way over their ability level, especially on public roads, where one 80 year old lady can not see you and kill you, because you're going double the speed limit. Even if someone pulls in front of you and you're going straight, we can and will put YOU at fault if you were going too fast, because you lose your right of way by going too fast.
Need to tell your homies to stop riding on the road without a license too. We get that all the time. They don't even have a license but are riding with their buddies, who are riding like assholes, and eventually get into a situation they can't recover from and crash. Even if you have had a license for a long time, don't use the public roads to push the limit...
Trust me, I understand as someone who rides a bike for a living. I also have my own personal motorcycle. But I don't speed over 10-15mph over the limit on streets, but yeah I'll go 90-95 on the freeway if traffic is light.
Just wanted to say that because I've seen a lot more dead people due to car crashes than the average person. It's not a good sight when your body is in 30 pieces. Wear a full-face too...
Unfortunately, it's the idiots on UA-cam and instagram etc, who are causing the vast majority of these death by pretending that riding like a twat at 160mph through rush hour traffic is "cool" and what the fraternity expects a rider to be.
The skills of riders now have been falling for years, they just don't understand about riding. You have to be alive and in good shape to experience the thrill of riding, not living 10/10 all of the time
RIDE SAFE EVERYONE
Ride safe at 100mph
💯
no is safe on a motorcycle speeding or not say ride smart
Slow down everything.
The limits. Are. Go the dam speed limit.
I stopped riding when I had kids.
