Pls stop advertising progressive they tried to charge me 2000 dollars a year just for a 600 cc
Number 1: Don't be a twat....Especially to scooter riders who are also riders and don't deserve some 5 times a year tourist that only rides when the sun is out giving them grief.
I'll stick to safety insurance low rates and honestly 500 a year for my bike with full coverage as well
@@brokeandtired me in a nutshell lol I own a 2021 peace sports 150cc it's not a highway bike but I like it
Yammie says that no one cares that you ride a bike, but I literally had a girl hitting on me cause I walked into the dental office with my helmet in my hand, she legit said, "Oh you ride! It's a nice day to be riding. You wanna take me on a ride? Beach and margaritas?" I'm a new rider amd didn't really know how to respond to this so I just said, "There's no beaches in Oklahoma😄"
smooth XD
:-D
Smooth AF 😎
Lmao I mean, I've definitely had a few girls want rides and at gas stations I'll catch them staring... but I think most of that's because my bike is sexy as hell. Has nothing to do with me 😆
@@josiahm6690 don't feel bad mate. It's a fundimental law of the universe that a rider will never be equal to or greater than the sexiness of their ride 😂

Even the Autobahn had speed limits (in certain places

@@jeroldpickard947 😆 I love it!
hahaha nice one bro, when I visited your country I was excited to go in the autobahn man, it was fun.
I must share it somewhere.
Guys, after a year and a half I'm finally getting my first bike (duke 390 2018), and I can't find the words how much I'm exciting!!!
Congrats duude!! I'm really happy for you. I got my first bike last year and i can't forget how exciting it was. I would stay up all night watching reviews about the bike I'm about to get and nothing beats the feeling of finally having it. The duke 390 is a great starter choice too
Absolutely fantastic choice for a first bike. I got an R3 as my first and im almost 30. Seriously you will be out riding your friends with 600s within a few months. Take your time, learn that clutch work, and take a course. Cheers.
Enjoy mate enjoy
Congratulations! Now go have some fun.
Congrats fam! They are sick to see in person!
I know no one cares that I ride but I’ll be damned if I don’t talk about motorcycles to everyone I meet. I’m gonna convert my non rider friends or die trying 😂
Hey me too I don’t shut up about bikes lol
Hell yeah! I've convinced 3 so far! Haha
Even my two year old is gonna ride, hes always asking for a motorcycle 😂
I am a convert now also attempting to convert the unconverted.
Haven’t even started riding yet I get my bike next week, and I’ve already gotten 2 people looking on cycle trader at bikes lol
I actually LedOL at “ No One Cares”. New rider here and quickly found this out 😒😆
I care 💗💖💞💕
Was going to say no one cares Except us other riders we got you.
Nobody else may care for the most part; but I still flex my beginner bike every chance lol
I also found out that it doesn't attract girls either. :c
@@PW.6060 idk about you but I've definitely pick up a few chicks just cause I had a bike 🤣
11: Be honest to others your skill level. 99% of riders understand and are helpful. I started riding at 41, dual sports. I let people know I was a noob. Never had an issue. I was lucky after beginner bike, my budget was good enough to afford KTM's. Just let people know, yes, I have a fancy bike, but I am a novice. Now ride Harley's also. Same thing, let them know, I love riding, but I am not the guy doing 80 in the twisties. If other riders are going to give you shit, find other riders. I find the better, more experienced riders are the most accommodating. Ex pro motorcross racers, helped me the most and would hang back with me. Put your ego aside
@@PetrolJunkie I ride with a great group on the street also. I ride in a pack regularly and same thing, I am honest and no issues. The one or two on dirt or street that try to act badass, I put them in their place. I may not be a great rider, but after 20 years in the Marine Corps infantry, I don't put up with that shit.
Ego kills. You're a smart man. 🏍🏍✌✌
Be honest with yourself about your abilities.
I'm a noob...at 70, I take it easy, focus on improving my skills, consistency (I hate it when my teacher say "WTF was that!)..my local surface roads are always packed but the toll road that runs along the pacific ocean is never busy...never...so nice to open it up without dealing with traffic
KTM is fancy? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Going on a trip no matter the bike is so true. My lil CBR250R handled a 2,000 mile trip like a champ. Everyone said I was crazy, but I literally had 0 issues. Just make sure its up to date on maintenance, and you're off!
I just bought CBR125R. However I don't have my license yet so i haven't ridden it anywhere far. How's your back? Wasn't it uncomfortable? I know that 125 will be even slower but in Poland u can't ride anything bigger than 125cc 15HP till you're 18
@@dealpl-ug8yi Well it was my daily at the time, so I was very used to being on it and carrying a big backpack. That being said, it was just fine the first two days, but the third I had a lot of discomfort down south. Having some wind breaking pants would have fixed that I think. But if you're making stops to see things, then I'd think you'd be fine. It's the straight up traveling all day with just stopping for gas that will get ya lol
Dude I'm not going to lie, you boys have single handedly made me need a motorcycle in my life. Thanks for the new auto-related addiction. Have a safe season boys.
A good and bad thing to become a part of. Good because it's awesome. Bad because holy cow, where the heck is all my money.
Finally got my first motorcycle yesterday and I have been riding it so much. It is great and the rush/adrenaline/kind of scare and exposed feeling is incredible. Definitely staying safe, but holly crap the feeling is amazing.
Damn, a Progressive sponsorship?? This channel's really blowing up
I've never dealt with them myself, but a couple shops I've been into have had signs that say they don't accept Progressive for whatever reason. Not sure why, didn't ask I was paying cash
and it's so close to 1 million now
@@lompy529 THEY'RE GONNA TURBO THAT BUUUUUUSA
yeah but i don't respect the blatant lies. nobody is getting motorcycle insurance for $79 a year.
@@steve8846 actually
If it’s just liability it can be less! I actually pay around $50 for just liability on a 600cc Honda from the early 2000s. Really depends on location, habit and what you’re riding of course. Do some digging, maybe complete the basic rider course for your state (some insurances offer discounts for completion) and you could probably beat my rate honestly. That being said… if you choose to do liability only and you drop it, yah fucked.
I put learning how to ride and getting a motorcycle endorsement on my "Bucket List" and my first bike is being delivered this afternoon. Bought the Benelli TNT 135 just for fun! At 60+ this should be interesting (eye roll).
I also got the beneli for my first bike I hope you like it as much as I do.
I am curious how things turned out.....
The no one cares flute cracked my ass up forreal. Lol. Haha 😂
I thought he was joking but now in Georgia a month later ITS A SECRET MONSOON SEASON it's been raining every single day without fail FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS
My Sunday is now complete! Shadetree Surgeon, Filp NA, Cheylessi, Weems Motor Co., topped with Papa Yam 🍠. Ahh yesss!
Personally, I don't get why that obsession with "you'll never keep your first bike","you'll get bored of it" and number 10 being "think about your next motorcycle" in your first year I don't even see this as healthy knowledge. I've rode many bikes, cruisers, sports and dirt bikes, I got the A license (I live in Europe) so I can ride whatever the power a motorcycle can have, and do you know what I ride? A Honda Cb250 nighthawk, a bike that doesn't pass 140km/h and it's been my ride for 4 years, being my first bike and I don't even got started to get tired of it. Motorcycling is not about being capable of passing every car at 180km/h or doing dangerous maneuvers to keep that adrenaline rush, those are the things that kill riders, for me, riding is about freedom, enjoying the scenery, feel the wind and enjoy the ride. If you fell in love with your first bike and you enjoy it, don't let these type of UA-camrs contaminate your mind saying you will change it because that might not be the case, even more so if you don't have a good amount of money per month. Just enjoy your ride and be happy with your bike for as long as you can and don't let anybody tell you shit like this because it's not a good way to introduce people into motorcycling
I completely agree. It doesn’t make sense to me, why there are so many superficial and subjective things on this list. In fact I think there’s only one or two things that are valid for new riders. Preforming maintenance, and learning more advances maneuvering techniques. I don’t have a bike yet, but I plan on getting a beater first so I can learn to work on it and not care about dropping it at lower speeds in a parking lot. In that scenario, I do plan on getting the bike I want after I have a bit of experience but that seems reasonable. For all I know, I might fall in love with the beater I get because of the work I’ll put into it lol. Anyway, greetings from America! Stay safe out there.
Great advise bro. I just started out, 21 MT03. Im 46 with a wife and 2 little ones that need their daddy around. I was bit by the bug late and my wife didnt want me to ride. After 3 months Im just starting to have fun with my bike. The bike is plenty fast and enjoyable. I don't know if in 5 years will I upgrade or sell it and call it a day. Or just keep it forever. I know someone who had a close call and said thats it, sold his bike after 1 year. U just don't know. Ride safe!
@@joeyp4196 well stated JP! I’d rather be a safe rider and ride for my life than be dead in 30 seconds due to me wanting an adrenaline rush. I’m curious about your driving system in Europe. It seems like it could help us out a lot here in the states. Still haven’t gotten my first bike yet, but I might be getting a gold wing soon (at least to practice on, but that’s another tangent). I’ve been driving my car like a bike. Over the years I’ve done this, I’ve realized there needs to be some kind of reform of our traffic laws in general. People are real blödmann. Stay safe out there talk to you later.
Bought a turbo busa as first I feel like the power is enough why would I upgrade
Can’t wait to start riding. Thanks for keeping me informed papa yams!
Loved how motivational these Tips are, really ebjoyed this vibe!
Talking about you dont need a special bike for road Trips. I have done a couple of road Trips across germany on my little 125cc and it was absolutely Great. Yeah, I would have probably been more comfortabe and quicker on a bigger bike, but seeing what you get to see is what its really about.
What 125 was it?
The way u integrated the sponsorship was beautiful 👌🏾
Great advice on doing some maintenance on your bike is a great call. It is a great way yo keep an eye on parts, making sure it is working properly, knowing when it isn't or something is about to go wrong. Great way to kind of bond with the bike
I've been watching this channel for about 5 years, and I just got my first bike. I feel like I know everything with 0 exp thanks to these vids lol.
OK, 43 years ago today, I started a 2200 mile ride from NH to Colorado on my 10-speed Raleigh Grand Prix bike; so it really doesn't matter how big your bike is. If you can "pack everything you need and nothing you don't need", you can get where you're going on just about anything...
4,5 Stay off the highway. You'll see a lot more by staying on smaller roads. Highways are for going from A to B as fast as possible in a car or truck, not for traveling on a bike.
I use the OSMand+ app on my phone for navigation and I configured it to avoid highways when motorcycling. I have a small adventure bike, and highways are not my idea of adventure.
@@Liberty4Ever Getting blown of the road by 18 wheelers and inhaling exhaust gasses ain't fun either.
@@darkiee69 - When riding small dual sport bikes on the highway, when semis pass. I always felt like I was being sucked under them. If I wanted to ride on highways, I'd get a BMW RT, or maybe a Honda Goldwing.
Damn right.
Awaiting delivery of my first bike, I’m stoked 😁😁
Getting my first bike because of you yams almost have enough saved up thank you for all the quality content
I bought my first motorcycle a few weeks ago. Already thinking about what I’m going to get next 😂
Haha I'm the same way. Love my bike, but I'm definitely going to want something with more storage capability later on down the road
Great list Papa Yam. Haven't done the track day yet. Really should. Can confirm a 300 is fine for long trips. Put over 20,000 miles on mine before upgrading. Still have that n300 and it still runs like the day I got it.
Loved my motocamp trip from OKC to the Twisted Sisters in the hill country of texas. Was a crazy fun 5 days. I plan on going on many more motocamp trips this year. But I also love to jump on my friends sport bike and twist the throttle.
Hey yammie just bought my first ninja 400. I’ve been watching u for a long time and I’ve been dreaming about hoping on my first street bike/sport bike. I get it in a week and ur videos are the only thing that keeps me alive😂😂
gg
Congrats. You are gonna have a ton of fun!
"Cowboy Yam doesn't exist he can't hurt you."
Cowboy Yam: accent intensifies
I'm in round Rock and you're right. Weather has been crazy.
Oh well. I just got my first motorcycle in South Korea. I’m 35 years old and I did a big trip of 450 km for the first time and it was amazing. I will never change that experience of joy and fear. Now I have the bike for about 2 months. I will like to expand and get more technic before I get a 660 (Aprilia sr660). Thanks to your Chanel I got the guts to do what I did.
Keep up the amazing videos
I'm old. I started riding minibikes as a kid. Got my first "big" bike at 17 (Honda CB750). In my 30's, a guy I worked with noticed I was still making rookie mistakes (I didn't think I was making any). He asked if he could show me a couple of things and in about 20 minutes, he changed the way I ride. When he was a young man, he was a State Trooper (I believe ND) and he had qualified as a motorman. He was also an instructor. That day changed riding for me from being a basic mode of transport and some throttle therapy to a way of life. So, I would respectfully disagree. Practicing in a parking lot is the best way to increase your skill level and that can save your life. I'm 45 now and still hit a parking lot every week just to practice. It gives you a warm up away from traffic and serves to spot potential mechanical issues before they become a major problem. It does not replace the experience you get from riding in traffic, but it helps make maneuvers second nature so you can concentrate on more important issues, like the jack ass about turn left in front of you.
I’m in Houston so I feel ya. Rain everyday for the past 2 months. Was finally clear, took bike out now rain again. Now I’m sitting here watching this in the gym waiting for the rain to pass 🙃
Seattle sends its condolences✌
Gettin new bike this month! Thanks for the content
I'm going to be getting a bike within 2 months. Halfway through next month I'm taking my safety course. I'm Soo fucking ready and excited.
I still love watching videos on beginner tricks even though I finally upgraded to a big boy bike I’ve only been riding 4 years and I still watch all these as there’s always more to learn
Idea: So you want a CBR Fireblade.
Just got my first bike and my licence and really needed a video like this.
I got my first bike yesterday Yammie !!! its a small 50cc supermoto because of laws in my country but its unimaginably good fun.
Treat everyone on the road like they don’t see you. I bought my first bike last year may 19th. (R6). Loved every minute of it. On April 27th of this year I had someone pulling a trailer cross 3 lanes of traffic on me. I hit the trailer dead center. Totaled my bike. Ride safe.
Love the list! I did them all in my first year, track day was exhilarating. I'd add a #11, do a dirt bike school. I did and got a whole different perspective on riding. Really useful for me was American Super Camp by Danny Walker.
Great Video!!
It's been the same in Houston.
Either it's a mansoon or a hot southern summer
You rock Yammie
After learning to ride in a field last year. On a suzuki boulevard s40. Today I took my 2020 790 duke for a 65 mile trip. On back roads in wisconsin. It was a blast and even stopped for a some food.
That sounds like a 65 mile adrenalin rush.
@@fallinginthed33p got lost for most of it. Still learning this bike so.took it easy. But did open it up when I could. Learning to take better lines in curves was fun. And figuring you can take a curve at the speed limit is exciting and new. It was fun all around.
@@shawnrobinson1452 Getting lost on a motorbike isn't being lost, it's just exploring the neighborhood 😋 A big Duke sounds like a lot of fun in the twisties.
@@fallinginthed33p it probably is fun. But seeing as I'm still learning. I'm not pushing my limits and taking my time. I'm sure the bike can handle more then I can throw at it. I know I had fun though.
Track Day !! Boomer on a Harley and the track day was without question so much fun . What an experience , awesome!! Rode 600 miles to get to the track
You got me good on the weird monsoon season we've been having
I got my first bike last week and just started driving it. I can agree on the point that no one really cares about my new bike except me.
I can already imagine the looks I'll get showing up to the track with my Yamaha V Star 650.
Don't worry about that, lots of people go on cruisers
@@Dangerwiggles for real? My new scout bobber wouldn't be out of place?
man i started on a vstar 250 those were the days banging through all the gears and hitting 45 enjoy that bike brotha ride safe
You always come through for me yamms
It has been raining for weeks here in northern georgia. I feel your pain.
+1 on the track day. Regardless of what bike you have, take it to a track and see for yourself. Tons of fun
I’m more of a buy your forever bike right away. I bought a road king as my first bike
I got an Indian Scout for my first bike, I figured that it would last me a while.
Oops. Hit post by accident. Think Triumphs still nice but I can do a lot of performance and appearance mods and still take a really long trip for less than a late model Bonnie. The Interceptor especially at its price and reasonably solid design and execution looks like a solid deal.
And ideally we will get two. Mine, with my wife on the pillion, and our son on the other, with camping gear strapped to the sissy bar.
If I am missing some other nice set of wheels about 500-800 cc and a chunk below 500 lbs (not more than about 200 kilos) that doesn’t look weirder than the next bike please add your suggestions. Also anybody have knowledge or experience about tuning the Interceptor, especially the S&S big bore kit, exhaust, cam, or suspension please add your comments. Or perhaps you will like the idea for a YN video v
Still love your channel all the way from straya mate big shout out keep the good content comming yam bro
Just started riding a month ago! Love my 2000 Honda Valkyrie!
I just bought that KP200 from amazon, I've got almost 2,200 miles in 2 months and still going strong
Got my first bike! Loving it!
That ad placement is smooth
It even works in the same situation. For example, when everyone else left, you're the only one left. Sometimes it even works with the same noun. When your alarm clock goes off, you probably turn it off.
Yeah I just finished the msf brc course. Never went above second gear. Good practice for slow speeds, but not practical for the street
Getting my liscense in a week and hopefully getting a 2021 ninja 400 too..im excited
You can tour on a 250cc. Some people will think your crazy but going cross country is a worth while mission.
Went from Omaha Nebraska to Pike's Peak on a Zuma 125 scooter, the most memorable trip on 2 wheels I've had so far! Highly recommend an underpowered road trip, makes you have to be flexible and improvise a lot
good point about track:)
All good ideas 👍
Appreciate the videos. Finally taking my riders course this weekend so I can get back on a bike after 20 years away! Very excited about it.
Same here brother it's been 20 years for me as well.
I’m 55 and have been working on motorcycles for over 40 years. When I bought my 2014 FZ-09, one of the first mods I did was to install a fender eliminator, which required significant disassembly. When my then girlfriend/now wife walked into the garage and saw that brand new motorcycle with less than 1K on the odometer in pieces, she was like “what the literal f*** are you doing?” Telling her I’d been doing this since I was 14 didn’t really seem to reassure her much. I said, “Wait until I get the exhaust, K&N air filter and Power Commander…that’s going to be major surgery…”
Sweet yam🤙🏼😉
I'm buying my first bike this Saturday! I settled on a 04 victory vegas!
Got a Vitpilen thanks in part to the cool info on this channel. I’m waiting on an RS660 because like you said it’s an addiction...thankfully one that makes me a nicer person
Thanks, Yam, for another vid I can watch instead of working. You don't need a huge engine to make a long trip on a bike. People regularly make trips in excess of 1100 miles on a moped/scooter with a 110cc engine - that's just in Viet Nam. Small engines rule Southeast Asia.
Weather is about the same here I’m TN lately
Was out riding the hill country around Austin today…..was glorious. Albeit the roads aren’t technical sooooo not a lot of leaning into corners.
I'm 18 and just got a first bike. Taking the msf this week and dying to start riding wish me luck. Been watching for a while Papa yam
My first motorcycle gets here today!💗
New rider here, its an awesome experience.
You can bike trip ANYTHING! My Buddy used to come visit me in New Orleans from NAS Pensacola to party for weekends on an R6! I've personally ridden an XR250 across Costa Rica no problemo.
Sweet elementary school recorder add in. Love your vids.
That last cowboy thing was epic.
My first bike is a 765 cc 3 cylinders 2018 street triple RS …. Changed my life bruh.
Just got a KTM 390 adv. My first bike and looking forward to taking it out on the road and finding some trails
I am a wide guy late 40's. Got my permit and bought a New Suzuki S40, new driver on a street bike. Off-roading during teen days don't transfer to street experience. Relearning pretty much everything. Mirror only showed my shoulders. Bought a pair of bar-end mirrors. Rode 50 miles and parked it. Next day would not start. I checked every fuse, wire, new battery. Roll start and off to the dealer. Took dealer 30 seconds and a giggle to fix. I touched the clutch safety connection under the clutch lever.
Im going to buy my first motorcycle today!!
Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Just started riding a week ago. Bought a new 2021 zx6r 636 and absolutely love the experience and bike. And haven’t dropped the bike yet
I'm 64 and have not been on a bike in about 40 years. Only rode a couple of time then. Looking forward to buying a bike and will keep this video for reference.
Just got my first bike.2007 GSXR 750.Learning to ride is awesome.Always wanted a bike and now I finally have one.I know Yams its not a turbo Busa but its a starter lol
Seeing American insurance costs makes me laugh here in Ontario I just got a quote this morning for 8300$ a year 😂
I bought a super cheap Yamaha R1 that needed tons of work. It ran, but not well. Today, I tore the entire bike down (with a little help from a friend) and I'll be rebuilding the engine, putting a newer wiring harness in, newer dash and switches and a newer ECU with a power commander. When I'm done, it'll be practically a brand new bike and I'll know how to work on it. Next up - learning how to ride like a pro.
If you’re in western Canada and looking for a nice trip, look at Banff and/ or jasper, the Okanagan and/or Kamloops, and drumheller
Not a Motorcycle rider but just bout my first ever scooter, witch is also my first ever vehicle i've ever riden. And i also learned how to ride it on the spot (its pretty easy) and rode it from Rotterdam to Tilburg (about 4 cities over) over the span of 6 hours. Fun times!
Been riding for more then 2 years, got my first bike last year, still not thinking of upgrading, loving my little MT03! (Also ride tiny Honda Benly 110 my scooters for work)
Getting my first motorcycle tomorrow.
0:18 totally me with an earbud in an takin’ up a WHOLE lane!🤣🤣
I’m in Temple Tx and I remember all that random ass rain lol
Damn thats crazy!
Reaching closer to finishing my first year and already wanting a new bike. I didn’t believe what people said at first but it’s true. You will want a different bike. I’m looking at light weight baggers and lower CC sport bikes
Thanks Yam.
