Northern Norway here, Its cold as fuck! I'm not even a motorcyclist, but i'm a climber with a history of injuries and near death experiences so i'm glad i stumbled upon your videos still. Stay positive my nigga no matter what life brings.
@@johnengland8619 Chill out 5yr old. Man was being positive. Language or not you can clearly see its a nice comment. That's only a bad word in North America
If you can't do the things you love, then what's life for? You're a true testament to that and I'm glad to see you maintaining perspective. I watched a ride of the century video and saw a rider on a wheelie, dragging a foot and noticed that his leg was a prosthetic below the knee. I couldn't help but wonder whether he lost his leg while doing stunts on a motorcycle. There was a pro football player that literally died on the football field, for a brief moment. The moment that player was returned to good health, he was anxious to get back out there and play again. There are countless examples of people getting injured and having near death experiences doing the things they enjoy, and going right back to that activity as soon as they're able. I hope you do get enough mobility back in your arm to ride with both hands again, but happy to see you continuing to enjoy riding whether or not that happens.
Super happy i found your channel bro. I lost my right leg on my cbr 600rr from getting rear ended at a full stop. Blessed to still be here. The fact you still get up and ride is my motivation to get back out there. Keep up the content!
If you can, give a CanAm a try. A lot of us older riders who have knee problems find the three wheeled CanAms breathe new life into our riding careers because you don't have to balance the bike at a stop. I thought I'd never ride a 3-wheeler, but when faced between the choices of not riding or three-wheels, the decision became easy.
A general video about riding with one arm would be interesting. The bike setup, the physical differences and imbalances, demonstrating how gear doesn't fit, mindset, etc.
Hello, Dutch viewer here! I stumbled across your channel from your previous video, and amazed to see how you dealt with the past and present. A lot of respect and admiration for you, and not letting the incident effect you from going back driving. The Bible verse on your arm also feels fitting, and glad to hear God and family are with you! I'll be turning 24 later this year (here, when you are 24 and pass exams you may drive all bikes legally right away!) and planning to take lessons and getting my bike license, and seeing your videos just makes it more exciting! Your bike looks great fun, and the place you drive looks lovely. And for your questions, been pretty warm here. Had some colder days and more like 4°C most of time during the days, but like today around 7°C is really warm. For your content, like this video is really fun to watch and listen to your story, love the fun edits as well trough out! I hope you had a healthy and blessed holidays and wish you to a great 2025! God bless!
Hey, fellow dutchy replying your comment :D Goodluck with your driving lessons! I got mine last summer at last. good luck and go for it! have fun and dont let anything stop you.
Love how he is still laughing and making jokes and doing the things he loves need after the accident ❤❤ we all love you and are proud of your recovery 🩷🩷
1. I'd like to see you go moto camping with a Grom! How you would plan and pick routes that are smoother or less elevation. How to handle roads that do have some roughness. I'd like to see some rides with another Grom. 2. What can we do to sway you to get a jacket with elbow and shoulder pro? Poly ones aren't that expensive and once you have it, you'll hardly notice the effort to put it on. With asymmetric handlebar pressure even 3 mph turns over a low curb can make you more prone to front wheel tucks. Yeah, you don't want to hear it, but how about at least entertaining the idea? We can be stubborn too. You can cut one of the sleeves, tuck it and sow it, as well as one size up in the chest to accommodate the arm. There's full mesh ones that come with pro for warm days. 3. You can make a wide strap using a velcro closure to go under an armpit and over the shoulder to hold the socket firmly for bumps. You can even have it sown into the jacket pro you're going to get. :) Damn man, I'll pay for the custom tailoring to make it happen. Send me a paypal email for the bill. You're an inspiring dude.
Over here in the Netherlands it's around freezing temperatures almost every day.. watching you ride in a tshirt while its almost January makes me miss spring and summer so much! I genuinely can't wait until march/april so I can ride again without literally shivering. Keep up the content man. Love seeing how you can still do the things you love after the accident
I picked up some heated liners for my jacket, pants and gloves. They plug into an outlet I wired to my battery. It's a game changer. On level 3 (of 10), I was toasty on the highway in near freezing weather. $600 for a full set, but once you have it, you can't even imagine riding in the cold without it.
@@schrodingersmechanic7622 I did install heated grips a while ago and they serve me well! I should just invest in some cold weather gear and I'll probably be fine. Right now I'm riding in summer gear which holds up surprisingly well down to 7 degrees celsius when I wear a thick hoodie underneath. You won't see me riding when the ground is freezing anyways, just as a safety precaution 🥶
Dude, it's amazing to see you in the headspace after everything you went through. I'm healing from a minor surgery I just had (my first ever surgery) and seeing you push through something like this really is motivating me to keep my head up and start complaining less about the things in my life, you're inspiring
I’m proud of you because even after your accident you still continue to do what you love ❤ and you stick with that I love it 🩷🩷 not to mention you look bad asf while already looking cool your really an inspiration
Dude you're absolutely fucking crazy 😭😭😭 The fact that you kept up the passion for what you hit hard at even after something so deabilitating is insane. I'm insanely happy that you've recovered the way you did, also INSANELY happy that you just keep at it. Thank god you lost your left instead your right at the very least. I hope your ass stays well dude, it's fucking awesome how much you've recovered and how strong you've been through this. Keep it up!
Sucks that you got into such a bad accident, I'm happy you pushed through it though. I don't think I would ever be able to ride a bike without my arm, muscle memory would get me every time. I hope that you had a great Christmas. 3:07 In Canada around this time of year the average temperature is usually around -4°F with the coldest being -40°F, though it's generally been a warm winter so we're sitting around 15°F.
DBC…Daily Blessing Coming! I Want a Bike so Bad but YES, I APPRECIATE Your input and Advice on Riding, Always being aware of your surroundings and Hopefully I CAN Start being more Nice! Definitely NEED THAT TOO…..
Man keep it up bro this is crazy how you still ride the bike after your accident you mindset is super strong bro but I highly recommend you ride safe bro still having an life after losing a limb is better than just outright not being alive. Stay motivated bro
To all riders professionals,biggner or wanna be a rider in the future be carefull Life/accidents can change in one second no taking back So just ride slowly and if u wanna go fast be carfull and ride on roads u know without cars We love u nick ❤❤❤❤
First of all love the scripture on your arm🙌🏽💗 And for the weather question it’s like 40 in the morning and 85 in the afternoon (I’m in Texas btw, weather here is bipolar fr🥲) I just came across your other video and I like your attitude! Keep up the good work👏🏽
South Africa here! It’s about 23-27 degrees celcius here. Ug. Sorry that its hot where you are! I actually prefer the cold! Ride safe and keep pushing through and spreading the Gospel by telling your story. You are absolutely amazing and so incredibly strong for keeping being yourself and coming out stronger on the other side. May God bless❤️
-15 some nights here in New Hampshire. Because of this, I've just been skipping out on the winter riding but I suffered a similar injury in 2022 and it amazes me how fast you got back out there. Keep going my man!
@nckgti7 Yeah, I sheared my left arm on a Silverado at 100 mph and it sent me flying. Not the best day but in the end you just gotta get back on the bike and move forward.
Hi Nick, lovely to see you again, and riding! Right now is almost 1am in UK and we have 2ºC also misty. Sorry if my English is not correct, my mother tongue is Spanish, (I'm spanish xD) but I live in Manchester. I'd love to see more videos of you just riding, enjoying life and possibly advising us like you did with the white car.
Nice to see you on the bike again and having fun! wow you're sleeveless...I would've died in the cold. I live in the netherlands, and its 3c here D; your grom sounds awesome btw, and like I said in your previous video, it looks amazing too. have fun and be safe!
Props on you for continuing to ride man. I was in a motorcycle crash in early October my own fault coming in to a curve too hot. Dislocated my right knee and tore ligaments in my left knee. I love riding and can't wait to get back to it, but I don't know if I could with loss of function in one arm it's awesome that you are.
I just randomly found you in my recommended and Im glad I did I pray you heal bro and hope you continue to power through this time man hope you are doing well much love
God bless you my brother. I have so much respect for you. Never lose that hope, you’re a bright light in this world. Stay safe. God is always with you❤️🙏
Looks like you’ve been riding with one arm for way longer, amazing how used you got to this and the skills you developed! You’re riding looks so natural that I forgot that you ride with one arm during the video, I’m not kidding 😂 Currently -1 Celsius in Germany.
Situations like that, I always get in the further lane to avoid them if they didn't see me. Can't imagine having to react with only one arm. Be safe glad ur okay
I just found your channel man, and I'm so impressed with you. You're honestly very inspiring and uplifting. I love how positive and kind you are. I'm loving this content but I would also love to see more day in the life type of content from you, like your school and job type of stuff. I was thinking the raybands meta glasses might make for some cool content with you via voice control. Anyways have a great rest of your day hoss!
I watched your other video about how you lost the arm. I was thinking about that the other day as I was riding my motorcycle home. I tried riding with one arm and it was tough. Much respect
You talked about how hard it is to do things with one arm. Instead of talking about it, show us. Also, people like your honesty and personality. Keep that real always. Edit, can you talk a little about the hey you project.
Love it man. Just keep pressing on and that attitude will get you everywhere you need to go. On the topic of a jacket, find a seamstress and have them hem the arm off. You'd be surprised ho often they get requests from veterans for similar things. Funny enough its been low 20s for weeks and all of a sudden in Ohio I get three days in the 60s lol.
The thing for him is that he still has his bum arm, so the body has to be extra wide, while the one arm has to be normal sized. Don't know how much a seamstress can do for that without compromising the structural integrity of the garment.
I am honestly so sorry for you I hope you reach 100,000 subscribers soon I am really sorry that you lost your arm dude that is that's that's really bad
Indonesian here, it's hot in here, we don't have winter lol. Just found your channel from the previous video, it got recommended to me. Just wanna say you're awesome dude. Keep it up and stay safe man.
I live in so cal too. Noticed most people driving more lax around holiday time. Maybe people that don't drive as much or most work slows down and people aren't stressed. Had to drive to downtown LA Friday after Christmas. Left at like 5am and had the fast lane all to myself for nearly half the drive. It was awesome
Thank you for sharing more content and giving us the information about awareness about what to look for. I would like to say please make more content as much as possible reason for sharing that a lot of people want to learn from someone who has actually experienced a real life situation and your intelligence is vary captivating.
I've got a fellow rider in my area in a similar position. He got a rebel 1100 dct and just put the throttle on the other side, and linked brakes I believe. I believe that you should do what you love, don't let anything stop you. My left ring finger does not work, (I know it's not the same) but it can't stop me either.
hey Nick its maybe a bit generic but i guess id like to see colabs and being reasonably silly within those colabs, atleast thats whats popping in terms of motovlogs here in germany just a idea ^^ also its around 30 to 40 of the american temperature metric here in germany PS: also idea wise maybe a video about things that are hard to do dailying or riding a bike as a one handed rider that could be cool for others in similar circumstances to see and learn from, but also interesting to two handedriders ^_^ like and im shooting from the hip here but as a name for the episode and or concept im thinking of something like " Top 10 things i hate about riding as a Onehanded rider " again just a idea could call it anything really but, i liked the video stay as safe as you can and have a nice Day
bro you should look into automatic motorcycles or see if you can mod groms to do that. most of the time they come as automatic and manual so if you ever get bored of automatic you can go back to manual. automatic is really nice for doing long drives
Personally curious on what your next plans are in terms of making riding more comfortable, like a bike with DCT, the type of gear you would use, Figuring out blinkers, etc
I’m looking at the cb650r with Hondas e-clutch, or an xsr900 with it quickshifter and autoblipper (I’d still have to move the clutch to the right). I personally want to avoid dct or auto trans bikes because I enjoy the feeling of shifting gears. I’m looking for people out kits that can house the blinkers on the right somewhere… pants is not a problem for gear, but the jacket will take some finesse
A few months ago I hit a cone on the highway with only Vans on and hurt my foot pretty bad… nothing like your accident. Not going to lie, getting back on the bike and riding at night kinda scary. I’ve done it a few times after healing up, but it’s not the same. I’m not going to sell the bike and stop riding, hoping in time the trepidation goes away
It's freezing here in Germany. I shouldve driven more in the summer because now im somehow getting so much motivation to drive again. I drove a few times in the cold and its alright. But the fear of slipping out of corners is so real, im taking every one of them like a snail. My first little acident after two months of riding was exactly that. I slipped out on an intercection in Oktober at very low speeds (20 kmh). So yeah, i think my fear is justified
Good to see your still okay and positive i think life is all about punishment were here for a reason in the first place so anything not bad happening should be looked at like a good thing rather then just geting through normal life, i think we all need to be good examples of what everyone should be like riding only in a safe place where we check out the road surface first and find good roads on google maps that are safe and of course doing everything were suppost to in life and givng advice to anyone we cab help, is living in a way that works for all of us and we can all be like that and the world will work, it makes sence for us to all try and be like that as much as we can.
The gear problem seems like a tough one. I imagine many major brands wouldn't be trying to design for easy of fitting. I'm interested in what you're able to find that works for you. If there aren't many people riding with one functioning arm that also share this kind of information, it would make for a great resources for anyone that would have a need for it later.
Weather out here in Florida is well actually nice. Not a humidity kinda dude. People out here drive like a bunch of idiots. We had so many accidents out here over the holidays. So many people blow through red lights and exceed every speed limit lol. As far as video ideas it would be cool to see your riding setup. From my understanding your clutch and gear shifter is on your left and your brakes and throttle are on your right. Curious how it’s done for you. I talked with AI and got these. Video ideas: 1) Mental Health and Coping Strategies- Share your journey of dealing with your trauma and adapting through them with us. 2) Advocacy and awareness: Highlighting issues faced by people with disabilities for better accessibility and inclusivity. 3) Skill sharing workshop: Offering virtual workshops to teach adaptive riding skills or other life skills you’ve mastered. 4) feature stories of others overcoming similar challenges, building a supportive network. 5) Adaptive gear reviews: I think this could include possibilities of seeing what products could work for you, maybe even would you consider trying out robotic assistance in the future. 6) Maintenance and modifications on your bike along with riding tips and tutorials. 7) Daily life and challenges: how you overcome the challenges you see in your life now whether its getting gas at the pump to tackeling school work or family. 8) I like your words of wisdom at the end of the video its promotes awareness and I agree we are all in this together and no main characters, well not all think that lol. Also ChatGPT has that audio feature you can talk with that I did and it had some decent ideas. Great vid boss as usual!
Hey man, I got rid of my bike to get my house and now I want to get another one. Randomly got recommended your last video and It made me think twice about it.. Because I do have that "that guy" mentality I've been track riding a long time and I think that is why... but anyways happy I saw it because mabye I shouldn't even if I really want too because sometimes I cannot control myself. Mabye ill get a 600cc instead of my usually 1k. Also its cold af here in PA highs are 30 and lows are around 15.
3:15 am from india...the northern part...right now its a bit cold...your hands go numb if you ride without gloves...in about 20-25days its gonna get really really cold...like if you just go out of the your house on foot...your nose will be numb and red...your eyes will be watery
at least you only have to keep track of one glove also idk if this seems odd to do but you should decorate the left grip if you dont use it you could put stuff one it
shifting with the one-finger clutch on the right, the front brake lever is right below it out of frame, rear brake still works too (i use it if I'm stopped on hills)
Why not get rid of the arm completely? I might also opt for the skin grafts if I thought I may regain function in my arm, but if I knew it was going to be dead weight, then I'd probably ask them to amputate and leave my thigh skin alone. Did you have a hope of arm function, or just not want to part with your arm?
Strongest mindset ever😭, keep it up buddy
Thanks man, means a lot 🙏
You typing 🥵😰😥😓😅😅😅 @@nckgti7 y/n ??? Was you stressing when typing? (But genuinely stay positive, keep Hope, keep safe 🙏)
And at this point he also has the strongest thighs, thigh grip ftw

Thanks, bro! It's good to be back
I watched your other video about how you lost the arm. I was thinking about that the other day as I was riding my motorcycle home. I tried riding with one arm and it was tough. Much respect
You talked about how hard it is to do things with one arm. Instead of talking about it, show us. Also, people like your honesty and personality. Keep that real always. Edit, can you talk a little about the hey you project.
Noted for future vids!
Love it man. Just keep pressing on and that attitude will get you everywhere you need to go. On the topic of a jacket, find a seamstress and have them hem the arm off. You'd be surprised ho often they get requests from veterans for similar things.
Funny enough its been low 20s for weeks and all of a sudden in Ohio I get three days in the 60s lol.
The thing for him is that he still has his bum arm, so the body has to be extra wide, while the one arm has to be normal sized. Don't know how much a seamstress can do for that without compromising the structural integrity of the garment.
I am honestly so sorry for you I hope you reach 100,000 subscribers soon I am really sorry that you lost your arm dude that is that's that's really bad
Hey man I appreciate it, but it’s all good!
Whatever you do i dont mind i just subbed keep it talking keep it chill and we here for it
Stay strong keep it chill brother ❤️🤝
Thank you dawg I appreciate it
Love that your still riding and your style of content it really sucks that you lost mobility of your arm
Thank you. It sucks but I'm trying to make the most of it
@ hey at least you can still ride
Getting up and keeping it moving 👍🏿 Gotta live your life😊
Indonesian here, it's hot in here, we don't have winter lol. Just found your channel from the previous video, it got recommended to me. Just wanna say you're awesome dude. Keep it up and stay safe man.
Appreciate you!
Australian here, storms recently. But the heat isn't embellished when people call this place hell
w vid🔥hope u feel better with ur arm btw
I appreciate it man thanks for being here 🫶🏼
Man rotator cuff injury is the worst I had the same from electric skateboard in my left and in the same side I felt off on my supermotard .😅
I live in so cal too. Noticed most people driving more lax around holiday time. Maybe people that don't drive as much or most work slows down and people aren't stressed. Had to drive to downtown LA Friday after Christmas. Left at like 5am and had the fast lane all to myself for nearly half the drive. It was awesome
That sounds nice, man. Driving to LA is a huge pain. I'm always going to Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills to get follow-ups
Wait you live in Yorba Linda/ Anahiem Hillls?
I do!
Glad to see you riding, keep it up man!
Hey Denmark here its hella cold but no snow sadly, Keep riding and having fun!
Thank you for sharing more content and giving us the information about awareness about what to look for. I would like to say please make more content as much as possible reason for sharing that a lot of people want to learn from someone who has actually experienced a real life situation and your intelligence is vary captivating.
Noted! I'm learning to manage my time better to film, edit, and upload for you guys
YEET
I've got a fellow rider in my area in a similar position. He got a rebel 1100 dct and just put the throttle on the other side, and linked brakes I believe. I believe that you should do what you love, don't let anything stop you. My left ring finger does not work, (I know it's not the same) but it can't stop me either.
it won't stop us🦾
Hey dude, wheater is hot af as always here in Brazil, appreciate your battles my man, your will and power are an example to be followed.
Brazil!! Stay cool brotha
hey Nick its maybe a bit generic but i guess id like to see colabs and being reasonably silly within those colabs, atleast thats whats popping in terms of motovlogs here in germany just a idea ^^ also its around 30 to 40 of the american temperature metric here in germany PS: also idea wise maybe a video about things that are hard to do dailying or riding a bike as a one handed rider that could be cool for others in similar circumstances to see and learn from, but also interesting to two handedriders ^_^ like and im shooting from the hip here but as a name for the episode and or concept im thinking of something like " Top 10 things i hate about riding as a Onehanded rider " again just a idea could call it anything really but, i liked the video stay as safe as you can and have a nice Day
Really solid suggestions actually, I may do this! I'll be sure to shout you out too. Thank you :)
You're the man, Nick!
31 degrees farenheit and snow in sweden
Let's go bro. I hope everything it's going well for you! Keep it up!
Thanks brotha! 🙏🏼
the grom is so fye
This man is a legend
so are you going to amputate, somehow fix the arm, or just keep the dead arm?
Bro thats a great call out with the parked truck
bro you should look into automatic motorcycles or see if you can mod groms to do that. most of the time they come as automatic and manual so if you ever get bored of automatic you can go back to manual. automatic is really nice for doing long drives
Personally curious on what your next plans are in terms of making riding more comfortable, like a bike with DCT, the type of gear you would use, Figuring out blinkers, etc
I’m looking at the cb650r with Hondas e-clutch, or an xsr900 with it quickshifter and autoblipper (I’d still have to move the clutch to the right). I personally want to avoid dct or auto trans bikes because I enjoy the feeling of shifting gears. I’m looking for people out kits that can house the blinkers on the right somewhere… pants is not a problem for gear, but the jacket will take some finesse
@@nckgti7 have you looked into something like the honda adv 750?
A few months ago I hit a cone on the highway with only Vans on and hurt my foot pretty bad… nothing like your accident.
Not going to lie, getting back on the bike and riding at night kinda scary.
I’ve done it a few times after healing up, but it’s not the same. I’m not going to sell the bike and stop riding, hoping in time the trepidation goes away
Up in Canada it got down to -40/-45 fahrenheit this week
good vibes bro, youl get your arm fixed eventually... robo/bio/chip, whatever it may be 👍
I’m from South African homie, our December’s are during summer since we are in the southern hemisphere. We get 73f type days
73° is the perfect day
nice to see your doing good, thanks for the vid
It's freezing here in Germany. I shouldve driven more in the summer because now im somehow getting so much motivation to drive again. I drove a few times in the cold and its alright. But the fear of slipping out of corners is so real, im taking every one of them like a snail. My first little acident after two months of riding was exactly that. I slipped out on an intercection in Oktober at very low speeds (20 kmh). So yeah, i think my fear is justified
Good to see your still okay and positive i think life is all about punishment were here for a reason in the first place so anything not bad happening should be looked at like a good thing rather then just geting through normal life, i think we all need to be good examples of what everyone should be like riding only in a safe place where we check out the road surface first and find good roads on google maps that are safe and of course doing everything were suppost to in life and givng advice to anyone we cab help, is living in a way that works for all of us and we can all be like that and the world will work, it makes sence for us to all try and be like that as much as we can.
Do you find it challenging to maintain control during emergency braking at high speeds now?
Not too difficult as my tank grips help out a lot
hell yeah brother
love those little hondas
You do you ma boi. Maybe you can get a tighter arm strap to make it more comfortable on bumps, more rigid.
The gear problem seems like a tough one. I imagine many major brands wouldn't be trying to design for easy of fitting. I'm interested in what you're able to find that works for you. If there aren't many people riding with one functioning arm that also share this kind of information, it would make for a great resources for anyone that would have a need for it later.
Good point, it's not a common thing to talk about at all. But I'd love to talk about it a lot more
Love you man once I get my license I’m getting me a sport bike and i have learned a lot from you thank you man
Be safe out there brotha!
Oh you should figure out turn signals module on the right hand
Weather out here in Florida is well actually nice. Not a humidity kinda dude. People out here drive like a bunch of idiots. We had so many accidents out here over the holidays. So many people blow through red lights and exceed every speed limit lol. As far as video ideas it would be cool to see your riding setup. From my understanding your clutch and gear shifter is on your left and your brakes and throttle are on your right. Curious how it’s done for you. I talked with AI and got these. Video ideas: 1) Mental Health and Coping Strategies- Share your journey of dealing with your trauma and adapting through them with us. 2) Advocacy and awareness: Highlighting issues faced by people with disabilities for better accessibility and inclusivity. 3) Skill sharing workshop: Offering virtual workshops to teach adaptive riding skills or other life skills you’ve mastered. 4) feature stories of others overcoming similar challenges, building a supportive network. 5) Adaptive gear reviews: I think this could include possibilities of seeing what products could work for you, maybe even would you consider trying out robotic assistance in the future. 6) Maintenance and modifications on your bike along with riding tips and tutorials. 7) Daily life and challenges: how you overcome the challenges you see in your life now whether its getting gas at the pump to tackeling school work or family. 8) I like your words of wisdom at the end of the video its promotes awareness and I agree we are all in this together and no main characters, well not all think that lol. Also ChatGPT has that audio feature you can talk with that I did and it had some decent ideas. Great vid boss as usual!
Screenshotted to note down! Thanks brotha🤝🏼
"it's christmas and it's 80 degrees" bro lives in california, i'm calling it.
Hey man, I got rid of my bike to get my house and now I want to get another one. Randomly got recommended your last video and It made me think twice about it.. Because I do have that "that guy" mentality I've been track riding a long time and I think that is why... but anyways happy I saw it because mabye I shouldn't even if I really want too because sometimes I cannot control myself. Mabye ill get a 600cc instead of my usually 1k. Also its cold af here in PA highs are 30 and lows are around 15.
Good on you for realizing that you may not have full control over yourself if you hop back on a 1k. Take care man
You have a mental of a god bro, stay strong bro!!😁
It’s God who gives me the mental strength! But thank you!
@@nckgti7 yessir
out here in Florida its like 70 weather is awesome for huntin rn
stay strong broski❤❤
I will brotha thank you❤
the passion is admirable
3:15 am from india...the northern part...right now its a bit cold...your hands go numb if you ride without gloves...in about 20-25days its gonna get really really cold...like if you just go out of the your house on foot...your nose will be numb and red...your eyes will be watery
Sounds super cold actually...
Noo not the one armed bandit doing smoother rev matching than me w two hands. lol i gotta get out there and practice
😂😂
at least you only have to keep track of one glove also idk if this seems odd to do but you should decorate the left grip if you dont use it you could put stuff one it
It's freezing here in Canada, icy roads and sidewalks, i should start wearing ice skates to school, outside is a danger zone lol
i can imagine ice skating to school. sounds like a blast
love the videos brother, how come you use clutch when shifting up wouldn't it be easier without?
Yes, but the bike seems to like it better if I use the clutch
im curious about the shifting and breaking? how do you handle having to stop on a hill? youre killing it
shifting with the one-finger clutch on the right, the front brake lever is right below it out of frame, rear brake still works too (i use it if I'm stopped on hills)
@ oh dope man, glad you found a setup that works. Keep on riding 💪
Why not get rid of the arm completely? I might also opt for the skin grafts if I thought I may regain function in my arm, but if I knew it was going to be dead weight, then I'd probably ask them to amputate and leave my thigh skin alone. Did you have a hope of arm function, or just not want to part with your arm?
How do you adapted your bike to right now with only the right hand?
Video on this coming soon!
