I just had to replace my windshield because I was getting constantly slammed with wind buffeting. The windshield that came with my bike was a windshield in name only. I got a Puig windshield and it's a totally different experience. They actually test them in wind tunnels. I don't know how you ride without one. Things will pop up off the road and hit you.
@@ariesmarsexpress I get crazy wind buffeting with my Puig, which is the main reason I took it off. It maybe wouldn’t be so bad if I got the smaller windshield but ohhh wellll :) lol
Ha interesting comments. I do hear wind howling sounds, but wasn't sure if it was actually my windshield. Cause I feel like it's hitting me on the chest instead of the head/or helmet.
Desert season?! That sounds like fun! I’ve always wanted to ride a dirt bike…maybe some day👀 it’s the “getting the dirt bike to places that you can ride it” that seems like the hard part for me lol. Love the “OOOoooO this is noiiice” I say that all the time 😂
Haha! Yea logistics can be a problem. Or you can get a dual sport and go both on the dirt and the street! (that's what my fiance has) but most dual sports are too tall for me :(
@@itsmissy_xo yeah that would be fun too! They are always so tall though😭 have you seen motoikandi? She has short girl riding tips, but it definitely does not look easy lol
@@gaabbiio Oh I haven't seen her, I'll have to check her out! Looks similar to the tips Doodle on a Motorcycle shares :) I've tried to sit on my fiance's full-size dirt bike, and even with the "short girl tips" I'm quite literally too short LOL unless I start/stop standing off the bike (which hey.. I may practice)
Always enjoy your videos. You can buy a nylon mesh laundry bag and wash your gear in that. Remove armor, turn jacket inside out and wash on gentle cycle. I've had good success with that method. I like the Rebel 500, looks good in yellow.
I'm sure you know all this cause I think the CRF100 had same options but you can get the YZ-RM and SX 85s in large wheels or standard sizes.. 17"/19" front and 14"/16" rear. You probably had 19"/16" on your CRF? it would be a bummer if you find one you want to buy, just to find out it has the smaller wheels on it.. My nephew races a 2023 YZ85 that thing hauls ass! I get on it and I'm like😮 Whoa! You will have a ton of fun on whatever brand you get👍👍
Yes! The CRF100 came as a 19/16, but it had a low ground clearance so the seat height was only about 30". The small wheel SX85 and YZ85 both have larger ground clearances so even the small wheel 17/14 has a seat height of 33". A big wheel in those bikes would be almost the same height as a full sized bike (35") and I'm just too short for that unless I lower them (which I'm hoping to avoid!) I've been doing a LOT of research on them haha and I definitely wanted a big wheel until I found out they're so tall! Being short isn't all it's cracked up to be LOL
@@nikisaunders2634 its ok haha a lot of people get it mixed up. splitting is when you're moving between cars that are also moving. filtering is when you're moving between stopped cars. :) Both are legal here in California, but right now I'm only comfortable filtering. You'll get there!
@@999fedora where I live, it is wayyyyy too hot to ride in the desert in the summer. Like 120 degrees lol. Plus some desert vehicles are restricted to certain times of year. The end of October to May is prime weather for the desert.
Unfortunately in California any bike built for off-highway use can't be converted into a SuMo unless it's specifically a dual sport bike... 🙃🙃 But, I was looking at dual sports like an XR150 or TW200 but they wouldn't be fun on the street or on the dirt with their lower CC and crappy suspension lol I need to keep up with my fiance on his KTM 500 EXC-F!
@@ep6606 I'm not really a Kawi or Suzuki fan lol but those are full size bikes anyway and I'm too short for them unless I lower them, which I don't want to do
You can never have too many bikes! I have 3 in my garage and still find myself shopping for another, always looking for the perfect one.
@@ipdjbt gotta have options, lol!!
only issue try to maintain insurance and rego among all bikes :( 2 bikes is already too much to afford these days
@@polartsang thankfully dirtbikes aren't required to have insurance and registration is dirt cheap :)

@@ariesmarsexpress 😂😂 modern problems require modern solutions
I removed the wind shield on my Vstrom 650 because of severe head buffeting. It worked! No buffeting and no more wind howling sound!

Chill vlog, nice sceneries.
Thank you!
Yeah that wind is not fun to ride in. Especially when you’re going for miles. I like watching your videos.
Agreed!! Thank you for your comment!
Nice lane splitting 👍 dig that camera angle.
Thank you!

Ooooofff nice lane splitting 😮
Technically just filtering, I haven't moved up to splitting yet lol but thank you!
@@itsmissy_xo oh hang on... wot exactly is lane splitting then ... You looked Awsome filtering, think it will be a While before I have th confidence

@@itsmissy_xo aw yeah I get it now ... well happy filtering , I'll let you know when iv achieved either of the two 😆
are u able to install a windshield on yours?
Bees like yellow.

@@itsmissy_xo
Actually, with your helmet, black jacket, and yellow bike, the bees probably think you're one of them.
@@HAMILTONPROVIDEO bahah! Yea, maybe!!
where is your windshield?
Lol I took it off weeks ago. I hated the amount of wind buffeting i was getting behind the windshield
I'm still not clear what "desert season" means. Can't you ride in the desert year round?
@@999fedora where I live, it is wayyyyy too hot to ride in the desert in the summer. Like 120 degrees lol. Plus some desert vehicles are restricted to certain times of year. The end of October to May is prime weather for the desert.
Ouch! Too hot for me. Its 90 F here for the last couple of days and I just stay home.
Cheers!
Get a super moto!
