I was paralyzed after getting hit from behind on my bike. I’ve been in a wheelchair for 42 years. It’s not about breaking your leg vs getting killed. I’m living the in between. Please wear your helmets. Saved my life.
Ronaldo Hyde I ask people if theyd play football without a helmet!!
@@ronmarvicsin7709 That's completely different. Football is continual head knocking. Crashing a motorcycle is a once in a lifetime thing. But still, be prepared!
the full face helmet saved my face when I crashed, the whole front was scratched. I keep it as a souvenir now
Justin Paul I wish I had kept mine. Glad your safe.
@@ronmarvicsin7709 it's called rugby 😁
My favorite quote related to this subject
Motorcycles are not inherently dangerous
they are however extremely unforgiving of inattention, incompetence, and stupidity
I was more like if u need this video u better not ride a bike.. also i wouldnt trust in god to keep me safe on the road i dont believe that helps in any way.. just driving safe gets u a lot farther.. also the reason i dont own a bike anymore.. plus we have a lot of bad weather over here.. bikes are more for the summer months.. and thats when u see al the road warriors come out.. blinkers still on halfways on a 10 mile straight.. most of these people driving older bikes with older tires.. and not handy enough to maintain it themselves.. thats also where most accidents come from.. people get a licence.. then dont drive a bike just like 1 time every year.. they make 1 mistake and dont get to tell about it.. cars are just more saver.. and less fun..
@@larsvegas1505 which has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said
This was initially said about Aviation. I fly and ride haha
There is a thin line between bravado/excitement and living.
As an Italian guy, i totally agree on the exquisitely American saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people". That's right. It's not like you leave a pistol in the drawer an by night it wakes up on its own and goes around town killing people. You need somebody to operate it for that to happen. Well, i came to the conclusion that the same can be told for motorcycles. And cars and many other things
Sean, you say it like it is.....good advice to all.. I blew a back tire on a CB750 many years ago at 70mph and was able to slow and stop safely without going down, thank the Good Lord.
I'm a Christian bike rider as well, been riding since I was 16, I am now 66. I appreciate the fact that you speak out about the Lord and your faith. I also enjoy watching the informative videos to help us think about things we DON'T need to just take for granted.
Wtf does religion have to do with motorcycles. Lmao.
@@theenzoferrari458 what does your rudeness have to do with riding motorcycles???
@@donskelton7298 what does your ignorance have to do with commenting?
@@theenzoferrari458 We’ll take the inspiring messaging of the Bible over the whining and complaining of agnosticism/atheism every time
@@theenzoferrari458 Do you laugh in an outburst like Kamala Harris? Aspiring cackler and chief? Faith and religion have everything to do with everything, unless one is a ignoramus.
Riding motorcycles is approved in the Bible. Joshua in the Old Testament rode his Triumph throughout the land.
And the cagers were
"all in one Accord".
@@charlessmith3492 😂😂😂
riding distracted is an important note, I had been riding for years already, pulled over to take a call one day last year about a promotion at work and being on a shortlist, i was very excited and not thinking straight, went to pull back onto the highway, glanced back doing a head check as the lights were changing too quickly, while there wasnt anything in my lane in that 0.1 seconds i looked, a car moving quickly merged into that lane as i turned back and took off and i got hooked on the side of his car as i pulled out.
He wrenched the wheel in the opposite direction and it pulled my Vulcan 900 Custom sideways, throwing it down on top of me with a full tank of gas landing just below my right knee, crushing my tibia into about 12 pieces.
i was back riding within 6 months and can still ride just fine but i cant walk far anymore and im 27; its not a mistake I will ever make again.
Pay attention, be cool, calm and collect, if you feel you didn't get enough information take the extra half a second and do a second head check when pulling out, don't feel like you're holding up traffic when it might save your life.
I way that crazy
Did you get the promotion?
One of the big reasons I love this channel, and Bikes and Beards channel is because you guys are born again Christians. My sister and I are both Christians, and we were talking about riding motorcycles, and she said it is dangerous and I shouldn't ride for long trips. I told her that when God want me he will take me, but he isn't going to let me die before He is ready for me. Not that you should be stupid, but still I believe He will protect me as long as he wants. Love your channel.
Good word of wisdom. I have over million miles on motorcycles and close to 60 years of riding. I am preparing my next adventure, first thing replace my 4 year old tires from date of birth. I always have an instructor coach me every time with a new motorcycle for me. I am an retired MSF instructor, being teaching since early 70’s and still learn new things, every trip. Speed is not what I look for, it’s the adventure. Keep up the good work. Keep the sunny side up.
I started watching your channel because of "words of widsom" Im a missionary I live in Mexico been riding for about 7 years but nobody taught me so been trying to learn as much as I can about riding.
Caring about people is good character and a great business model.
You guys from srkcycles are my point of reference, i devoured all your videos, and you just had a huge role in helping me deciding which bike to buy as my first one at the age of 33 right one month ago. Enthusiastic owner of a 1990 Suzuki Intruder 747 here, thank you for everything you put on UA-cam, big hug from Italy, over.
Don’t forget to raise your kickstand. I’ve known a few people do that one, be careful of hot pipes. And ride like everybody is trying to kill you. Those tips also help
SRK did me a solid and paid to replace tires on a Triumph Tiger Explorer I purchased in the spring. The tires on the bike barely passed state inspection and Sean immediately offered to get the tires replaced with my choice of tires. I will most likely purchase my next bike from SRK.
You missed one. Don't rage on the road. The road is a melting pot of vehicles and driver experience levels. Not everyone is a pro driver so calm down. If someone cuts you off just let them go. They're in your life for those 3 seconds and then they are gone. Its not worth raging over it. Stay safe out there people.
Charlie-Tango Motors well said. That’s my problem. Then again I was in the hospital for six months , most of that spent in traction. I got back on the road BUT the memories run deep.
I live in Texas and for most of the year all you have to do is step out the door and you are at risk of getting bit by a rattlesnake. Praise God and Christ and take it day by day and cherish each moment you are given
Great advise, it’s amazing you make videos like this and just not trying to sell motorcycles much admiration. God Bless Sean.
Great that you are sharing your faith...so scarce these days. Blessings brother, loving your channel. T
Watching your videos has not only made me a better rider, but also a better driver. I'm now more aware of other vehicles potentially entering the highway, I look to the extent of vision when passing, and employ other of your tips in the car and on the bike. You're doing well, at least by me.
From the Dire Straits song Once upon a time in the west, “you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force.”
One can be right, to the point of being dead right.
Excellent conversation Sean. Continued success in all you do.
Gotta run, it’s 68 riding degrees outside in Arizona.😎👍
Way to share your faith. Thanks for the encouragement and information!
Great video! I didn't often check my tires when I was a new rider, and I ended up riding with a flat front tire and almost wrecking. It scared me so much that I almost sold my bike. Now, I always check my tires before riding. 🙂
This channel is by far one of my favorite. Honestly surprised you don’t have a billion subs 🧐
Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos just bought my first bike , must have watched all your videos at least twice , valuable information thanks.
Thanks for posting! I immediately paused the video and went out to check my tire pressure. It’s a new bike Yamaha Eluder and now with 3100 miles I checked the tires. They were both low rear at 23 and front at 25... supposed to be 41 psi cold.... oops. Thanks again! I’ll be checking more often.
I'm on a raider now..love it, but have my eyes on the Eluder..love it!
Steve Kiray Digging my Eluder! It’s so comfortable, and fun!
Going 70 miles an hour and your front tire blows, crazy scary! Somehow, someway i kept it up. Scariest experience ever in the 30+ years of riding. Funny thing is no signs of why. Newer tire n tube and right pressure. Eye opener for sure!!!
God bless you brother, keep up the good work. Keep riding
Good video. I started riding in the 70s, took a short break in the 80s (raising kids) then got back in in the 90s. Took the rider safety course in 95 to get the insurance discount. Best thing anyone can do and was free in PA, back then anyway. I thought I was an expert rider, not so. I began working on becoming an expert rider after taking the course.
Bikes or cagers, tires make all the difference in the ride.
This past April I bought my 2006 Stratoliner, it had 3900 miles on it. The tires looked great, told the seller it needs new tires he said I was crazy to buy new tires. I rode it home, not far, replaced the tires with the same brand and model. It was amazing the difference in the ride. Always check the tire dates of manufacture when buying a bike or car. They may look good but age is their enemy. Ride safe, thanks for the tips.
Love the content and tips etc..thanks for another great one!!!!Indiana love and blessings as always brother!!
God loves motorcyclists ;-) Greetings from Poland
Thanks for helping to keep us safe, healthy and smart!
I have quite a lot of experience on just about every type of motorcycle, but I still always look at videos like this to make sure I am always doing everything right. And I think every other rider should do the same no matter the experience.
New riders seem to neglect the fact they don’t know anything but think they can do it all, always encourage new riders to learn before they learn the hard way.
That is the max of my knowledge today, ride safe and try to keep it on 2 wheels.
Love your videos. So much knowledge being passed along!
Good vids my friend, I recently purchased a grom clone. First street bike I’ve owned ever. Last time I rode I was a kid on a dirt bike. Easily 22 yrs ago. I’m not a big dude either and the grom fits me perfect. I wanna 190 swap it sometime soon. I want the 190 to keep w traffic and the 5th gear for cruising speeds. I’m almost 40 now and I’m def over racing. If I wanna go fast I got my srt for that. I’m in pa as well Erie to be exact. I’ve put 50 miles on it already and I love it. Today you better keep you’re head on a swivel. I usually think everyone’s out to get me before I leave. That way I’m watching everyone closely.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the heads up on Riders-share. I just rented a Super Glide in Phoenix for a ride with my Dad. We hit the 191 devils highway . Best ride ever with my 78 year old Pop. Thanks again.
he's 78 and still riding? that gives me hope
Enjoy your videos Sean! Praise the Lord he has you doing some good work out there and living life. All good safety points and I would add practice emergency braking on your bike to see what an emergency stop feels like and consider not riding your motorcycle or being ultra vigilant riding on holidays due to intoxicated and distracted drivers out there.
I'm a true believer too! If I lived closer to you, I'd be purchasing a bike from you.
GOD Bless you, and your Family.
Love this vid. Don’t live life being scared. Use ur head..... well said. Thanks
Ecclesiastes, 7:17, "Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish : why shouldest thou die before thy time". It's my thought here that a person can shorten their days ; however it's still as you said in the hand of God of the when. Great video!
Thanks Eric Bana, great tips. 👍🏻
Good info Shawn.
Safety and being aware of your
surroundings at all times by being
a defensive rider is key.
But I'm not sure I should subscribe.
You didn't answer my question
regarding whether or not you have
those gloves in the gauntlet style.
Do you have some that covers around
the sleeve of your jacket to prevent cold
air in winter & bugs up the sleeve in summer?
Great advice, thank you God bless. Love your videos. Vietnam era Berlin wall vet 👍🇺🇸
Been riding these bikes for the past 39 years ........
Trail bikes age 12 to 17 slow, safe, fun
Motocross Bikes age 18 to 22 Racing on a track.... landed wrong from a jump and broke collar bone....
Street Sports Bikes..... Age 22 to 33 The speed, the cars and trucks, wet pavement, lane splitting, 100MPH + etc. Sold the street bike, only 1 crash...
Trail Bikes ( Honda XR 250 ) Age 34 to current. Riding the dirt trails, camping, fun, low speed.
So I'm back on a trail bike were it all started !!!!!!
Great video. The Green Mike quote “Get busy living or get busy dying”.
Quick question. Where do you find a used motorcycle’s worth.
Thank you in advance.
3 of these have caught me out. Only been on bikes just over 2 years. My 125 had the chain jump off because I forgot to check its adjustment. Bought my gsf600s second hand. Ended up doing a mile home on a flat back tyre. Recently got a tiny bit too relaxed. Missed a pothole and ended up under the bike needing help getting it off my leg. Luckily no serious harm from any o these but just proves how easy things go wrong.
Another great video, thanks for the info.
You nailed it brother! Thanks.
Great information. Well done video. Barry
Great vid pal! brakes may have been worth a mention too!
It’s not about what you ride ,,, it’s about how much you enjoy the ride 2005 Honda GL1800 trike and I love it.
You definitely did not talk me out of riding motorcycles.🤠 However I am still thinking about buying the Honda Navi. 🇺🇲
Love your channel, so interesting, I'm in the UK, was always riding bikes up until 2010 when my Son was born then sadly it had to go for a people carrier, (Already had two girls) I am in my late 50s now but, would still like to ride again one day, God willing. I found this to be an interesting and informative post. I had a friend years ago that had the coolest Triumph Bonnervile 750 hard-tail and he had a cut down chain guard to match the 'stripped back' look of his chopper. Unfortunately on a ride out one of the days his chain broke lose and went completely through his thigh, breaking the bone and tearing the muscle, not to mention the hole it left. He had to be put in an induced coma for a week because of the shock. He did recover, but always had to ride a modified bike with footboards, (that he hated) and a hand gear change. Last time I saw him before he sadly passed away he was riding a modified Yamaha cruiser with shaft drive :-/ He admitted it was down to a loose, badly maintained chain. Anyway, that's my story, please keep up the great work and the wonderful posts. And may your God ride with you.
as always good advice to keep in mind. Shops looking plenty full. still trying to get more bikes?
Cool video bro! Keep em coming!
I watch almost all your posts and I really enjoy them very informative and I live in central Pa and I think I’m going to come to your shop to buy a bike maybe you can help me get one that fits me I’m old ,63 and haven’t had a bike since 1977 so I think I’m do, no matter what bike shop I go in it’s all about selling a bike ,not necessarily helping me find one that will fit me just selling one
All very good points. 👍 (i keep a foot pump in my saddle bag.)
Ugh, drooling over the 2013 Versys 650 on your webpage... 🤤
I have a very low mile 1981 cb750 Custom....it still has its factory original tires. Great tread and not dry rotted, just old, heh. I picked it up with only 4,800 miles.
Picked up a completely neglected bike from a college kid, chain broke when I was at the top of a mountain, 26 miles from the nearest anything. Walked it twice.
As far as danger, ensure your horn is working, and put the loudest one possible on it. I have air horns on my cruiser. Saved my life several times.
I have been riding for many years on a variety of bikes, do consider myself very defensive, and always alert however, every time I "saddle up" I have the mindset that my bike is pre-ride checked as if I just bought it and never, ever allow anything to distract me!
I've experienced the scenario where a chain left a hole in the crankcase on a 1970 Honda ATC 90 due to excessive slack (someone else was riding it, but I was riding with him). Not only did the chain bind up around the drive sprocket, but when it bound up it didn't break so the rear axle locked up completely and both rear wheels sheared off the axle. We eventually got that ATC running again, but it involved buying another ATC 90 for parts and swapping the rear axle in. We also added a spring tensioner on the chain - the factory tensioner requires the rider to set the tension manually and the idler arm only works on the bottom of the chain. The tensioner we added in its place worked on the top and the bottom, and used what are basically skateboard wheels and a spring, and they kept the chain at basically zero slack until the chain was so badly worn it should have been replaced long before.
I'm thinking about buying a Vulkan S 650 in the future. How often should you check your chain's and change tires.
Ge fastest Indian is one of my favorite movies. A man and his dream almost went unfulfilled. But, when he comes to America he meets some very nice people who in there small ways all contribute to his victory. My favorite part is when he meets a bunch of kids on a beach and blows them away with the speed of his bike. Too cool!
Great advice... awesome channel.
"If your goal in life is to not die", it is 😄, good video, thanks for the tips.
you're right where you say, check tire pressure cause you won't feel it when it's bad, so true so true
The "go into a room "comment was a really good analogy!😉
Honestly, I would buy a bike from Sean before I buy from anyone else. Mark my words, when I buy my next bike, Im coming to you brother!
Good stuff man. God bless!
Here in Louisiana due to covid only way to get an endorsement is through a MSF course dmv no longer does any skilled driving test.
Great tips here for the first time rider!
Good information brother God bless you
Gods plan seems to include YOU driving ME nuts with the driving motorcycle when we RIDE motorycles.
That's why God's plan is also all about loving your neighbour, no matter how annoying they might be lol
I don't want to criticize this guy cuz I like him but I hear that DRIVE word also
Does his use of the word drive cause u to have less pleasure riding motorcycles or something?
Well you drive it cochese as it’s a drivers license ya wanna get super technical you operate it you ride a horse as it’s only directed by you and drive a bike car boat etc
Exactly!! Hence the slogan " live to ride". I've never heard anyone say, live to drive.. It seems to be an American thing to say, like " Canning vegetables and fruit when it's clearly getting put into glass jars not cans 🤔.
Sound advice. Also, in terms of tires....you are much more likely to puncture or pick up debris in a tire that is worn or under inflated.
That's what I love about my vtx1800c, tires might last 2 years if I baby it, 1 year if I ride it like I stole it.
Love it bro: tips are cool.
@Srkcycles i need advise please.
New to motorcycling, 6ft tall, 39 athletic.
I am looking for a bike for a while and fall in love with an 1981 Honda cb750 custom
It got to dings in the tank
Its ,blacked out'(exhaust,side panel and smaller rear blinker)
It seem to be in good shape considering that.
Seller and my self are in TX.
Apparently he is flipping bikes and got the bike from Maryland.
Can you give me some info about the bike and what would be an acceptable price?
Ty
Thanks good tips.👍🏼
As a former long-haul truck driver the first part of your video is what we would call a pre-trip inspection. It's something you do every time at the beginning of your ride. For truck drivers it's mandated by federal law to do a pre-trip inspection and and inspection at the end of the trip. Truck drivers are fanatical about their Steer tires. If it has a Nick or pinched in the sidewall I don't care how old it is it's getting replaced before that truck moves again.
Great video Sean....
Hey Sean! I bought some Tank Straps. 2 sets of them. I haven't used them yet, but I'm gonna try it your way this time,. I l let you know how it goes.
Great post bro!
Thanks very much. 🙏
Great advice.
I love you brother. God Bless You! RIDE ON! I will too!!!! When God wants me He'll take me!
I just bought a Yamaha Vstar and it would fight with me on the corners which I thought was really weird. Found out the front tire pressure was very low. You’re right. On a motorcycle tires are EXTREMELY important.
Love your videos. Wish I was in Pennsylvania, it’s so beautiful there. But I’m stuck in Texas. Where we ride in the winter and hibernate in the summer.
I know what you mean. Some Days in the Summer your Tires will Melt.
@@joeybobbie1 👍 yep. I ride only at night in the summer, just to keep the bike well oiled.
Life is risky. Choose to do what you love, and manage the risks involved in the doing. The data shows that good riders can reduce their risks in riding. Never (!) ride under the influence, match your riding behaviour to the circumstances (i.e., traffic, speed, weather, surface), maintain your bike and don't ride outside of your skillset. It is more like flying a plane than driving a car, IMHO, which means that not everyone will be capable of safe operation, and being a safe rider takes more effort than being a safe driver. Accept that, and you will be ok.
That's the most common sense comment I've read for a while well said and very true...one more bit of advice I would give dont ride with other riders who go way too fast and try to keep up , as you say exceeding your skill level and putting your life at risk
Great video! I guess maybe I'm the only one, but I find the background music distracting. Really like your videos none the less. Great job 👍
Maintain your chain very important. Mine snapped and rapped around my rear indicator light. God was looking after me that day. Stay safe do your checks. Peace
Good words brother! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Great video all around God bless
My Army Term - Situational Awareness. When riding, I am aware of things happening around me, behind me, and alongside me. I casually scan the horizon, check my peripherals, glance at my mirrors....especially when I am stopped at a light....give myself enough room to move ahead or out of the way if a car comes up too fast behind me...always in first gear....ready to move. My sportbike was pretty balanced...when stopped, I could balance myself without putting my feet down at super slow speeds. I am a new rider (3 years of riding experience).
My chain snapped and took out indicator gaurd locked wheel because i was stupid enough to fit new chain and sprocket kit with the spring clip so now always use rivet clip will save lots of trouble
Good advice.
Thx Sean!
Good points mate.
Great advice! However, if anyone here in PA wants to hone in their motorcycle skills, the only thing you will invest is time. PAMSP offers free Basic, intermediate and advanced riding courses. Pretty awesome deal considering other states charge for it!
I was born in 1960. Since '64 I have ridden 2 wheelers and never stopped unlike almost all of my friends who started driving cars stopped riding bicycles, I have NEVER stopped the bicycle riding, including in winter in Michigan and Colorado, these skills transfer to the motorcycle, think about what can happen, know your limits, the limits of your mechine and the limits of conditions, including if you can be seen!
Loved it!!!
All of this video was good advice.
