that my friends is a man built of pure confidence.
Just an average day in Philly
So what bet did you lose?
There are things in this world that once seen can not be unseen. This my friends is one of those things. Consider yourselves warned.
I was warned, but I did not listen. Shame on me.
SMOFO CHUY I read your comment, and thought "it isn't that bad"... then the music started >.>
The bike washing scene made my day, you sir are a fun guy to be around.
I could have gone my whole life without seeing the wash portion...
...but having seen it, your life is now more fulfilled! -DrewZilla
EvilJ069 Me too that was just too much
Thank you.. ive read this comment before seeing what seen you are talking about.. im glad i now have preparation
Well, you can rest reassured that no amount of cheap beer and dancers with daddy issues will top that skit! My friend, you have seen it all, no need to have a mid life crisis.
Y’all are just jealous you don’t have the confidence of a real man. 🔥
Thanks Lemmy. You mentioned a few things that a lot of others didn't do. Like remove the seat and bring it inside. Drain the coolant. Informative video. Thanks.
These how-to videos are what made me discover RevZilla. Two full face helmets a jacket, and a year later, 'm still addicted to these videos. Great Videos Lemmy, and Great business model!
Thats a side of lemmy i never want to see again
+urmomsayswhat That's the only side of Lemmy I ever want to see again.
What are you guys talking about? **See's section** OH GOD MY EYES!! Where's the bleach?!
ROFL, best comment, thumbs up.
?
what do you guys mean
I live in the Deep South, winterizing is unnecessary yet I still felt as if I needed to watch this video. I was mentally asking myself why I’m wasting my time, until I saw Bike Wash Lemmy and it all made sense.
As always, Lemmy gives us some of the best content on the internet. Thanks guys!
I don't even live in winter places yet I watched this till the end just because its Lemmy
I love watching your videos, the informative and humorous nature of them keeps me coming back for more.
I've been winterizing my bikes for 7 years and I do like having my pitbull stands getting the tires off the ground preventing flat spots.
If you have a HD, it is safe to assume you can afford fogging oil.
lol right?
Jesse Szypulski I hijo the
maybe not .. to much spent on repairs allrdy :D .. if u had a Honda on the other hand :D .. more power to ya :D .. both personal and on the bike :D
It is official. Lemmy is the shit.
Oh man when you were washing the bike 😂 that was hilarious. Even though i live in Australia and never have to winterize my bike because it doesn't get that cold here and we can ride all year round, this was still entertaining to watch.
This guy is born to be in bike videos.
Hey Bro, I just want to tell you that I appreciate your insight in all this deal of motorcycles. Thank , man.
Thanks Lemmy. You answered my wishes from your how to oil Change vid. You guys are amazing.
I could watch Lemmy wash a bike all friggen day. I mean, DAMN....
Thanks for the video. I do have to say that the bike washing part............... a little over the top!!! Hillarious!!
Chris Palmer You want over the top? I'll give you over the top! Enjoy... -Hi-Viz Brian

What has been seen, can never be unseen!!!
I have seen parts of Lemmy that I cannot unseen... But as usual, great content and great info for us Canadians! Thanks man
Great video! You guys are awesome! As a beginner, it's super convenient to have a resource like this to point me in the right direction. Keep it up!

Lemmy, your the dude, another great tutorial, informative with a twist of Monty Python insanity. Eh, the bit with you washing the bike hurt my eyes but my wife seemed to enjoy it lol. My top tip for protecting my bikes over the winter is treating them with ACF-50, far better and less messy than WD40, works on everything - engine, chrome, cables, paint etc, all except the brakes. Unlike wax the stuff seeps into all the nooks and crannies to protect against any chance of the evil rust setting into those hard to reach places.

HAHA
stopdropandroll Hah! It's so true! -Hi-Viz Brian
Thanks for making this. very handy!
Taking the seat indoors seems like a great idea, which I am going to do thanks!
SoCal checking in and moving along...see ya later.

I love Lemmy in ways that would make most of you at least a little unconfortable...but...
Storing a bike outside with no seat and no cover in winter weather is a bad idea. While the reasons mentioned are good, the problem is that you'll have water getting into all sorts of places a) it wouldn't normally be, and b) freezing there. This can cause issues with electrical connectors, bodywork, all sorts of fasteners, etc. If your bike has to be outside in the winter, invest in a breathable waterproof cover, and make a point to uncover the bike at least once every couple of weeks for a day or two of clear weather, to let moisture evaporate.
lmfao OMG lemmy... that wash scene... you my man, are funny as hell.but such a great instructor. I'm glad I subscribed
7:20 oh no 😉
Best scene ever! Lemmy is the man!
Very nice video. Glad to click the right video straightaway. Washing part was quite funny though.
That 'wash and wax' threw me off so bad. Holy shit. I was laughing and crying at the same time. LMFAOOOO Lemmy why u do dis?
You’re like a Jason mamoa of motorcycles! Your page has helped me so damn much thank you!
living in Michigan the bike gets put up late October and back out April so good info on storage.
Dude. There are things I can’t unsee...
Yeah man. Concrete will suck the moisture out of tires bad. It will cause them to dry rot. It is an issue here in Ohio when we store our boats for the winter. Tires will be dry rotted in about two winters doing that so we put 2x6 boards under them or put the trailer om jack stands in front of and behind the wheels. I would definitely do the cardboard for motorcycle tires over the winter.
That wash and wax display was the best God Damned thing I have ever seen,,,well done mate 10/10 lol
I live in Florida but I still watched!!
As always, another great video from Revzilla
Jason Luke Thanks! Have a great weekend. -Hi-Viz Brian
Dude!!!! Some things just cant be unseen!!
Great video, guys. How about full brake maintenance video? Pads/fluid change, calipers check, pumping.
When you're done washing that bike can, I borrow that sponge to wash my eyes? 😲
😆
Very informative video. Thank you! I'm from Wisconsin and it gets well below 0 here.
Hey Lemmy thanks for the seat tip, never considered that..... My poor girl will mostly be camping out doors this winter....
I live in Virginia, since I don't have a garage just yet I keep my bike in Florida. While I don't get to ride it as often as I would like I do take 5 weeks of vacation a year. A friend of mine has a garage that I keep it in and he rides it to keep everything in check. We have a serious Harley shop going on, he has two 94's, my 90 and another friend has two other bikes stored there as well. Mostly because I have the mechanical abilities I brought a tool box full of tools down the keep there and he bought the air compressor and motorcycle lift. When asked if I was going to bring it to Va. my reply is when I build a garage I will buy another bike for Virginia, cause that's how I roll.
Good information however I use the fuel treatment on every tank, as you said the fuel breaks down and due to the limited ride time my bike gets I feel it's better to keep the fuel system treated all the time, I also only burn super in my toys. My jet ski's stay in Fl. as well and while it costs a little more at the pump, I feel it saves me more in the long run.
In closing let me say "DUDE THAT WAS SOOOOO WRONG" while I'm sure the "wash pics" were all in fun. You have no idea of the emotional scaring something like that can cause. While I'm not sure just how much moonshine it going to take to wash that image away, all I can say is cheers.
The washing scene was hilarious, although... I can never unsee it:D
Year Round Rider here🤙🏾 HippoHands and plenty of layers...I Ride all year here in the PacNW! Unless of course it’s snowing or icy.
Id visit that wash every day
Yeah boy scrub that fender 😋🤩
HELLO FROM SIBERIAN BIKERS MAN!
Thanks for video, you have great channel!
Great video and funny as well :D
Eduardo Carmona Lemmy is somethin' else. He's quite the character, hah! -Hi-Viz Brian
I'm glad I live in Florida, I don't worry much about this.
Christopher Dulong Jealousy is running through my veins ... -Hi-Viz Brian
Next winter I'm putting my bike in my sunroom .winter this year not so bad in NJ this year could get it in sunroom this winter season due to knee surgery .or maybe I'll put it in my living room so I can stair at it till spring lol
I hope you're up and runnin' again by now!
Great advice for a Swede like me! It's Winter 10/12 months here :D Hell it's snowing right now and it's May!
Great video! Funny and informative.
Really useful video. Main thing putting me off getting another bike is that i only have a drive and wasn't sure storing a bike outside was a viable option
What I've been doing for the past 20 years is just add the correct amount of Seafoam in the tank and run the bike until the mixture gets into the engine. then shut it off. You may want to shut the fuel off if your bike has a petcock. The tank should be FULL so it won't start to rust on the inside. An empty tank will start to rust from the moisture in the air.
Plug in a float charger (not just any battery charger, make sure it's one that maintains the battery without over charging it)
The I jack it off the floor to get the weight off the suspension and tires. Then I cover it with a large sheet to keep dust from settling on the paint and chrome.That's it. When the riding season comes around, all you need to do is turn on the fuel and hit the starter switch and you're good to go.
I live in SoCal. I’ve never done any of that. The only reason I clicked on it is because knowledge is wealth and his outfit looked on point.
I love you, man. That was the best.
Lemmy you are an American Hero
That was super helpful and funny!
hahahahaha I friggin lost it on the wash/wax part hahahaha
Great information. Thank you. Although, the motorcycle washing scenes are disturbing on so many levels. Can't unsee that.
I was not expecting that wash😂😂😂
I love this video it is informative and very funny
Fantastic video! Very informative and funny too, I really appreciate this guys :)
James Bailey We appreciate the love! Thanks, James! -Hi-Viz Brian
Wash and wax job had me fucked up lmao I love it.
Thanks for your guidance.
Your video made my day 💥
LLLMMMAAAOOO THIS LEMMY MADE MY DAY HAHAHA
Lol! Think my bike will put me away before I can put it away. My favourite thing about motorcycling is riding a motorcycle. Snow just makes it hard but the party don't stop!
Nice boots lemmy!
Pretty much do the same except I jack my bikes up off the ground with motorcycle jacks and get some clearance under the tires and lock the jacks on their safety bar. Then I wiggle some 4 x 4's under the frame. So the the bike os just touching them. Stays on the stands all winter.
So glad I don't have to worry about this in Arizona 😛
I live in Arizona and it's hard to ride in -10 degree weather and 4 feet of snow!
Flagstaff or Prescott I assume?
Ian Kitterman probably, here in phoenix you can ride year round except the couple of days we have flash floods
Funniest video you guys have put out!
My 2019 Kawasaki bike manual says to store the bike in the winter on boards under the tires. I've heard that concrete tends to leach moisture out of the tires and may cause cracking. So I'm going to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. I guess it can't hurt. Thanks for the info!
The best way to winterize is to not do it just ride the bike the whole year. Motorcycles are not toys that should be played with only when the weather is good. Heck riding in winter is a good teacher.
Thank you for making me laugh soooo much!!!
This is hilarious and informative!
I was not prepared for this
Thanks for sharing !
Great Video, Thanks for the tips. The wash scene was a little over the top Ha Ha.
jim r It was a lot over the top, hah! -Hi-Viz Brian
I heard that the reason for carpet or cardboard is to keep the cold from the concrete forming a hard spot on the tyre. Thanks for the video
By far the best video he has ever been in lol
iam in jersey and when i had my cruiser that snow was like acid so i dont know it leaving it naked is a great idea just give the bike a good wash and wax then cover it when the snow falls clean the snow off the cover so thst it wont melt into ice when it warms up
I'm from Florida and I died at the beginning! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 won't u just love this guy. Rewzlla the best👍
thanks really helpful 👍
I’ll be the guy sneakin in those rides when it’s dry 😄
Same here or just starting it once a week and letting it idle/rev it up some
7:20 What has been seen, cannot be unseen!!!
Shout out to Lemmy for doing the washing scene with a serious face
i love You Lemmy!
Don't own a motobike yet but there is some very good tips in this video!! :D
I almost die by laughter at washing part :D
the 7:20 mark just proofs the fact that you can't UN-SEE SHIT! I would have died a happy man not seeing Lemmy wash a bike doing his very best dukes of hazard/ Jessica Simpson impression......
one of the best and most informative videos i've seen about winterizing a bike... "Lemmy" though LMAO
7.20.... whaa... MY EYES! THEY BURRRRN!!!
0:17: Dude you are so right, about the coconut oil and no winterizing necessary. That being said, it is nice from time to time, to see how the other half live. LOL!
