Got me a Honda Fireblade from 2007 and she is so new in my garage I did not give here a name yet so if anyone has an idea :P ( My mom calls her Baronette but meh) I am a huge gaming geek on the Side so I was thinking of naming her Roach but not sure yet ^^
While I was out with my GF on my first bike (84 suzuki TS 185 ER) we stopped in at a coffee shop. While there an older gentleman sat at a nearby table. Seeing our helmets he started talking to us. Normally I would forget people's names straight away, but I ran into him a couple of weeks later and instantly remembered his name and called out. We became very good friends over the next 25 years. Sadly he passed away last year at the age of 88, and yes, he was still riding. That day in the coffee shop is one of the best memories I have of that bike, because it sparked our friendship.
@@chriscode6431 hehe, i would find that strange too if i were driving my bike and saw someone doing that :) later i would probably see why they did it but not at the moment itself
those are the best.. I mean seeing other riders doing crazy stuff instead of the biker's wave is cool as well. But meeting someone on the same model.. Oof. Especially if you ride something that isn't that common around your place.. ^^
I live in SOLID HD Country. Have seen 2 ADV bikes in the last 6 months and those were on I-95 going somewhere. Just bought a 2021 Benelli TRK502. Chances of seeing the same bike = absolutely zero. Will be interesting to see how the HD crowd responds...
I had a bird rip knock my windshield off my bars and like spin my helmet all crooked. Got a black eye somehow lmao. Then I added inspecting my windshield bolts to my pre-ride checklist.
I bonded with a cop that was on his motorcycle haha I was behind him at a red light and he waved me to come next to him so I pulled up and we had a little chat, pretty cool experience
I’m new to this channel, but I gotta say your charisma when talking about the truths and experiences of riding is so magnetic. Great content, thanks for sharing!!
Watch more motorcycle videos! Learn about situational awareness and stuff... please, just look for motorcycles on the road... we may look like badasses, but on the road, were super fragile
I saw a group of Harley riders on my way home today and I instantly felt so good when I saw them say hi to me I'm planning on getting a bike in about a year and it almost feels like I'm already part of the community! I can't wait to finally ride
@@traviskruse435 yup I have a job now! And I'm about halfway to being able to afford the bike I want. :) I'll be saving for gear and a good helmet as well. If you have any recommendations for women's or unisex gear just hmu. I can almost taste the bike by now
Whatever the weather forecast is, go out riding. Builds experience and confidence in some difficult situations, especially for new riders ^^ Just gear up correctly before going out. Wind if fun and so is rain to some degree!
Name: No Exagerate: nope Home mechanic: sometimes Jealous when driving: sometimes Shield up: Yep Sharing/teaching: Yes Socializing: yes, although I rarely meet other riders when out
I am 100% in on rule #3. Even though it is a scooter instead of a true motorcycle, knowing that there is no mechanic around for my brand put the pressure on me to step up, and the simplicity compared to working on a modern car helped ease me into the mechanical repair world!
Fixing my bike is like in a stage in dating "getting to know each other" cause you will do you're part learn the bikes issue and solution as much as possible to take care of it, to understand what make the bike tic and feel good and you will be proud that you did it and love you're bike more.
I live in a tropical country, I rode my bike every single day, on every kind of weather (I like it when it rains as the road become slippery and the tires often lose traction and sliding around everywhere)
I always wear a helmet, but I will occasionally go shield up with safety glasses if it is a nice day and I'm out on the dirt roads. But after a similar "bee in the helmet" experience and getting pegged in the face from a rock kicked up by a truck a little ways ahead, I now keep the shield at least mostly if not fully closed over 40 mph. Oh - and having a lit cigarette butt flicked from a car going in the opposite direction bouncing off my goggles when I was wearing my MX style helmet. That could have been really bad.
You should add on the project biker. I have reconditioned and restored a number of bikes since learning to ride back in 98. There is no better feeling than riding a road legal bike you have built.
Yeah I have never named a bike and couldn't be around anyone who did. People who name bikes are up there with Harley riders who buy the Harley jacket, Harley bandana, Harley gloves etc. because god forbid you don't know they ride a Harley even when picking up milk at the grocery store 😑 Even when I was a 暴走族 girl back in Japan I never named my bikes.
Feels like this is something ONLY 98% of Americans do😂😂 cars, bikes or whatever has wheels. Never heard anyone outside of America naming their bike or car, except Richard Hammond naming that old Opel Cadet Oliver.😂😂😂 Imagine a German biker naming his S1000 "Sally" or "Susan" 😂
I agree with all of these. Been riding just over 2 years. I have come up on some newbs and even a newb who went off the road on his new royal enfield. I like talking and helping and sharing. Also yes, my first bike is Black Betty and my second is Black Beauty. Both Hondas. Lol. Another good video. Thanks.
I named mine Sally Ride because I'm a rocket scientist and she was my absolute hero growing up. Coincidence in the "ride" part makes it even cooler to me.
The face shield thing is something you have to actually teach a passenger who has never ridden before. I was instinctively throwing the shield up at every stop and plopping it back down around 25-35 mph and I didn't realize my pillion was just riding the whole time shields down. No wonder she thought motorcycles suck and are too hot. Tell your damn pillion about the faceshield rule! I will never forget again.
100% true. Plus for a real biker one is never enough, you always think about getting more. And somehow bikers are like bee's, you will always end up with a group of bikers
Honestly, with about 3-4 years experience with bikes I've learned to diagnose most simple problems just by trying to start a vehicle, including cars. It's amazing how simple most things are and I've gotten some good deals because of dead batteries and dirty fuel systems. I recommend everybody do the basic maintenance on their vehicles because not only will it save a lot of money on repairs, think $50 for loosening a bolt and refilling some liquids, but it can also turn a really good profit when somebody thinks that their car is totaled because they let it sit and the battery died so they sell you a car for $200 and you put a used battery in it for less than $50 and now you have a perfectly running vehicle for less than $300... It really pays to know how to check air, fuel and spark.
I have been watching your channel since last year i finally got my own bike and going through your vids again I got a kawasaki kr 150 From South Africa
All this is interesting. I've been biking for almost 50 years and mostly by myself . There's all these things that just come naturally and now here's other people (bikers are "people", other humans are drones) doing the same things.
I started watching this channel while getting my a2 licens (i live in Denmark) and all the do's and don'ts helped me so much and made me a better rider
Went to an Arts Fair downtown Pittsburgh PA one yr. There was road construction nearby limiting the parking. No one was working so wife lifted up the caution tape and I backed in. Three hrs later when we came back! 8 more bikes All in a nice Row! Safety in numbers!!
I also have a shadow 750. I name all my bikes but couldn't find a perfectly fitting name for it. "Ekei" is the placeholder name. Character from a japanese video game, who was a fat bastard. Named it that because it is so slow.
While some people appreciate the attention. I would like it if people didn't scream at me to do a wheelie at red lights. I cannot do a wheelie and I can barely hear you over my helmet, plugs and bluetooth speakers.
Maybe the key here is "older 2 stroke".. Had my trusted Aprilia 650 for 4 years and it started up immediately every time even in sub zero. Loved that girl
"You paid how much for your Harley just to sit there?" This one.. literally all paying on my Harley and it hasn't moved in easily an year and a half. Lol
I've been watching the vids for a while. Always posting new informative content. Love it. You are kind of my guide to find the best first bike for me. Thanks
I love telling my fiancee things like "yea, I took a corner at like 60 on the way home" and once she gets a panicked look I'm just like "nah, not really"
I recently bought a Scorpion brand helmet. Average review for safety at the Sharp web site for independent safety tests, but it fits well and the price was good. It has a little lever on the left side to open the visor a small bit for ventilation, and one D ring has a piece of nylon strap hanging so it is easier to undo under your neck.
@@DadBodZaddy buncho888 I'm not so sure... I'd swear the intonation, pronunciation etc is Yammie's. It sounds to me like only the pitch has been lowered.
Rule number 6 i have seen when i started riding, I was sat in traffic as i wasnt too sure on filtering when another rider pulled beside me and told me to follow him
Face shield rules: get pin lock! Put some treatment on your glasses, otherwise your pin lock is useless (ask me how I know...!), keep it closed or you will kiss a bee or other nasty bugs (again, how do I know?), modular helmets are great imho. Help others. I once plugged a flat tire for a women stuck on the side of the road, she had been there 2 hours I was the first to stop! Carry plugs with you and a basic tools kit, at least on long rides. Zip ties are life savers!
i am newish rider, just ordered my first time pinlock, coz here in australia is never really cold, but this winter (its winter here) i am finishing late late at work and the face shield fogs out 2 out of 3 rides i did last week. so i order a pinlock. what do you mean about "put some treatment on your glasses"?
Agustin Morquecho anti fog treatment on your lenses. Pin lock is nice, but if the glasses fog up, you are no better off. One time I was on the highway, and my glasses were fogging up. I could not stop (too dangerous in the rain and poor visibility) and could not put my glasses in my pockets since I had my rain coat on. So I drove 20 minutes with my glasses in my mouth, to the next exit :)
@@nicflatterie7772 ahhh ok, didnt reallized he was talking about glasses in your face for your eyes, dont know why i thought about a way of calling the visor glass. itys my own fault as english is my second language. plust it was very late when i read it so i was tired and brain not really working. i do not wear glasses of any kind, my helmet have dual visor, and the pinlock is on order, didnt received it yet.
Number 3 is exactly me. When I was in college and dirt poor, I brought my car to a mechanic to do the littlest thing. Now that I have a little bit of money I thought I would just continue to pay people to do it when I got a bike. That did NOT happen - totally got sucked into DIY.
I would stay this stands true if you are currently close to other vehicles. However if a block of traffic is in front of you, I imagine it would be safest to maintain distance until they have spread or stopped. (California here)
The answer is yes. No further videos needed, but of course it would be a welcome topic :) Going a bit faster means you are never stuck in one spot or situation, and you are always looking out for your surroundings rather than just mindlessly following the traffic flow. Anything that helps your awareness is a major improvement in safety, as it makes you look further ahead and assess clear spaces on the road and merging cars etc. If all you do is follow traffic flow, you end up jus sheeping behind the guy in front of you, and you might lose your awareness, and other people might lose their awareness of your existence too. Better to be in and out of people's awareness span quickly. If you stay in one spot for too long, people tend to forget you are even there, and stop paying attention. You only have a short window where people are aware of your presence before you just become a part of the surroundings, so use that window to quickly flow through the traffic instead of staying in place.
Riding season? So far, my lowest ride temperature was 35 degrees, here in NC. It's supposed to be 30 when I leave for work in the morning. I've learned how to bundle. "Aren't you cold on that bike?" "Yeah...but I'm on a bike. So it's worth it!"
My BMW GS800 is nicknamed ‘The Lazy German’. Mostly as the throttle is a suggestion, and it doesn’t wanna start when it rains. It runs like crap until it’s ‘awake’... yep.

I love telling my fiancee things like "yea, I took a corner at like 60 on the way home" and once she gets a panicked look I'm just like "nah, not really"
I recently bought a Scorpion brand helmet. Average review for safety at the Sharp web site for independent safety tests, but it fits well and the price was good. It has a little lever on the left side to open the visor a small bit for ventilation, and one D ring has a piece of nylon strap hanging so it is easier to undo under your neck.
lmao my suzuki is called susie and my ex named her XD
I'm dying
Thanks for sharing, God bless you.
Wow, did you use some kind of voice-altering software? Sounds really weird.
Rettequetette probably a freelance voice artist he hired
@@DadBodZaddy why would he do that? no one was complaining about his regular voice. Did something happen to Yam?
Rettequetette it's Yams new sidekick. I think he is going to use him for voiceover videos only.
@@DadBodZaddy buncho888 I'm not so sure... I'd swear the intonation, pronunciation etc is Yammie's. It sounds to me like only the pitch has been lowered.
Rule number 6 i have seen when i started riding,
I was sat in traffic as i wasnt too sure on filtering when another rider pulled beside me and told me to follow him
Jesus I'm so lucky to see this on my suggestion just three seconds after it was posted, and yes, I'm looking for some attention.
And here it comes. You are welcome.
I like your honesty good sir
Shouldn't you be out riding, not waiting around for UA-cam videos? :p
bro you’re not a uncle you will young forever just dont get yourself self in accident we like you cause you’re alive
Face shield rules: get pin lock! Put some treatment on your glasses, otherwise your pin lock is useless (ask me how I know...!), keep it closed or you will kiss a bee or other nasty bugs (again, how do I know?), modular helmets are great imho.
Help others. I once plugged a flat tire for a women stuck on the side of the road, she had been there 2 hours I was the first to stop!
Carry plugs with you and a basic tools kit, at least on long rides. Zip ties are life savers!
i am newish rider, just ordered my first time pinlock, coz here in australia is never really cold, but this winter (its winter here) i am finishing late late at work and the face shield fogs out 2 out of 3 rides i did last week. so i order a pinlock. what do you mean about "put some treatment on your glasses"?
Took a Godzilla size dragon fly to the face at 35mph yesterday.. smh then the visor went down haha
Agustin Morquecho anti fog treatment on your lenses. Pin lock is nice, but if the glasses fog up, you are no better off.
One time I was on the highway, and my glasses were fogging up. I could not stop (too dangerous in the rain and poor visibility) and could not put my glasses in my pockets since I had my rain coat on. So I drove 20 minutes with my glasses in my mouth, to the next exit :)
@@nicflatterie7772 ahhh ok, didnt reallized he was talking about glasses in your face for your eyes, dont know why i thought about a way of calling the visor glass. itys my own fault as english is my second language. plust it was very late when i read it so i was tired and brain not really working. i do not wear glasses of any kind, my helmet have dual visor, and the pinlock is on order, didnt received it yet.
Number 3 is exactly me. When I was in college and dirt poor, I brought my car to a mechanic to do the littlest thing. Now that I have a little bit of money I thought I would just continue to pay people to do it when I got a bike. That did NOT happen - totally got sucked into DIY.
Video idea: is it safer to go a bit faster than traffic?
I would stay this stands true if you are currently close to other vehicles. However if a block of traffic is in front of you, I imagine it would be safest to maintain distance until they have spread or stopped. (California here)
I call it “applying positive pressure to traffic”
The answer is yes. No further videos needed, but of course it would be a welcome topic :)
Going a bit faster means you are never stuck in one spot or situation, and you are always looking out for your surroundings rather than just mindlessly following the traffic flow. Anything that helps your awareness is a major improvement in safety, as it makes you look further ahead and assess clear spaces on the road and merging cars etc. If all you do is follow traffic flow, you end up jus sheeping behind the guy in front of you, and you might lose your awareness, and other people might lose their awareness of your existence too. Better to be in and out of people's awareness span quickly. If you stay in one spot for too long, people tend to forget you are even there, and stop paying attention. You only have a short window where people are aware of your presence before you just become a part of the surroundings, so use that window to quickly flow through the traffic instead of staying in place.
Riding season? So far, my lowest ride temperature was 35 degrees, here in NC.
It's supposed to be 30 when I leave for work in the morning. I've learned how to bundle.
"Aren't you cold on that bike?"
"Yeah...but I'm on a bike. So it's worth it!"
My bike is “Traveller.”
Named after General Lee’s
Battle Stallion.
Named mine Betsy. After my 1st guitar. Thing was a clunky piece of cheap firewood so it fits on multiple levels 😂😂
Who is this narrator? No homo man but I liked your voice better.
It Jammmmie Jjjeee.
It's Pappa Yams gay twin, Jammie J
My BMW GS800 is nicknamed ‘The Lazy German’. Mostly as the throttle is a suggestion, and it doesn’t wanna start when it rains. It runs like crap until it’s ‘awake’... yep.

I couldn't in good conscience let your smooth transition to pube trimming go unnoticed. Excellent!
What happened to your voice?
