    I own 5 motorcycles. I've decided today that I am selling them all. I have no one else to go riding with and the small city I live in gets so boring driving around by myself. I went from loving the whole motorcycle thing when I started back in 2014, to having no desire to get back on one again not even one month after starting to ride again this spring/summer. For all you still riding, ride safe out there.

    I like your video's and just feel like commenting a few words for each tip. I think it's 50/50 good and bad.
    Feather the clutch and drag the rear brake, wash your hands with gasoline, cool stain fighter tip (if it works!), that's a great way to capture good audio, cardboard to keep the chain and any goo off the ground, great advice for fast-looking selfies, GP shifting... OK, super creative gopro mount reuse, hats, gasoline on a rag cleans grime off everything.
    Thanks for a slick 10 minute video!

    Hey great video! One caveat though, I used to run my SnapBack through my belt loop all the time. Then I upgraded to a 2018 R1. The rear fairing started to get scuffed from my hat bouncing off it at high speeds. Just something to look out for.

    I posted the GoPro and sand paper tip under previous video. I'm glad it worked for you as well.
    For the tip #4: a $5 digital stereo voice recorder from China. Hit "record" on both, tap recorder against GoPro few times (to easily match audio tracks in post) then what you did - wrap it in a small towel (so it wouldn't bounce) and put under the pillion. Works great. You get stereo recording of traffic for free and it works well with footage of passing something that emits sound.

  • @DeusRides
    @DeusRides 4 роки тому +3

    Great video, as always ! Here is a quick hack too. When the holes in my license plate started to brake from vibration, I used the sticky 3m adhesive from the GoPro to hold it in place and it did not only kept it there for years on my cbr, but also absorbed a lot of vibration from my fender eliminator. So, now on my s1000r , I out some in the back just in case. If your country gives you shitty license plates made out of tinfoil, and ask you to pay for a replacement WHEN you lose it, the this might work for you. Also works to fix it to the under tail without fender eliminator for extra clean look. But that is illegal.in most places.. lights and other stuff apparently are required... :)
    Love the video, super fun. Cheers!

  • @DanteYewToob

    Funny thing about the shifter tip:
    My first bike has a reverse N-4down shifter, and when I switched to my sisters motorcycle she gave me as a gift I never once mis-shifted. I got so used to mine, but after 10 minutes normal 1-N-5 shift became perfectly normal too. I now have a third motorcycle and I switch between the three a random and I never have issues with forgetting.
    Although, one huge caveat is that my first bike is a 125 urban supermoto style bike, my sisters bike is a 250 cruiser, and my new bike is a Versys 300x ADV Touring bike... so most likely I never mess up because each bike feels entirely different.
    Still, I'd say if anyone wants to try it... GO FOR IT!
    I absolutely LOVE my reverse shifter and I wish every bike I own and plan to but would shift that way. A simple tap to shift up is much faster and easier, and then having your toe under feels more natural when braking and slowing. It just feels more natural in my opinion. I'm sure at least a few people will love it and keep it too.

  • @PierredeCur
    @PierredeCur 3 роки тому +9

    About the reverse gear: I come from the time when it could be that way - and also on the other side - and it was a pain and dangerous, so I have a better solution: a double lever shifter with a heel shifter. It also has a collateral benefit for those of us who ride on the ball of our feet: we only have to lower our feet to shift down and it does not force you to learn a new way of shifting that could cause errors. I know this is something that's usually for cruisers and slow bikes, but you should really try it.

    Yes, I'm 3 years late, but @1:28 the dish soap works best if you do not add water until after you rub the soap into the grease for 5 to 10 seconds. The you do not need sugar or salt for abrasion. Dawn dish soap is by far the best for cutting automotive type grease and oil. They used it on wildlife after the Exxon Valdez accident.

    I use plain kerosene to clean my bike chain. I soak it for 5 minutes then brush off the remaining gunk using a used toothbrush. I use a bottle scrubber with a wire handle mounted on a power drill to clean the sprockets, using the same kerosene and a little soapy water.
    Love the GoPro audio jack.

Usually, on a ride I have to get a little dirty. Pull the soap out( most people have a bit of water for you to rinse, or use a bit of grass), and then wipe the remains on the inside of your pants cuffs.

    Cleaning tip, if I may- when in the Navy, I did ordnance on the F-18. Cleaning the gun and more was filthy. I found that then, and later in life- the product that got me dirty, also helped get me clean. For example, in the squadron, the can of clean lube sprayed on my dirty hands, helped to quickly get me clean.. And clean motor oil, cleaned my hands after changing my cars oil! 😎😁.

  • @maxlutz3674

    Thanks for the effort. I think I can use a hack or two. For greasy hands it pays off to plan ahead. Hand creme (do not use your GFs super expensive one) applied to the hands before starting the work keeps the grease from clinging too much to the skin. Deer tallow for car door seals or special products (biker glove) help too.

    Connect a mic to your phone for much better audio, use a trrs adaptor, a lavalier mic and an app if needed, I use Hi-Q Audio Pro, I do my maintenance vids this way. Or use a dedicated audio machine like a Zoom H1 many cheaper ones will do great audio too, especially with an external mic. I've also used these methods for my helmet cam too, but mic and mic placement is always key and as you most likely know, a right pain to get right, and any changes to any element (mic, it's placement and even a knew helmet) can cause a load of stress and test after failed test.

    laundry powder works better than dish liquid, plus it also has the added ability of telling about all the new love bites (cuts) you got while working on bike
