A great tip for everyone is to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE wear your gear. A helmet is most important but not enough. I see Ryker UA-camrs wearing only a helmet and maybe gloves. Even though three wheels increase our stability it is still a motorcycle. We aren’t in cages and if a collision or mishap happens we are getting knocked off the bike just like our two wheel cousins. Full gear (helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, boots) is even more important at highway speeds. I ride on the highway daily and only go one exit down and still wear full gear. Even though it’s one exit an interchange is involved so a lot merging on and off highway traffic throughout my commute. I know the gear is uncomfortable but that’s only temporary vs. prolonged or permanent discomfort. I enjoy watching you guys and want you all in one piece in each video.
Sweet! Thanks for the extra tips.Those will all be super helpful with getting people more comfortable with riding on the highway. Feeling as safe as you can be is big on confidence 💯🐭
I have seen 2 youtubers wearing gear head to toe
Good solid advice. Not only that, but I really liked how you illustrated the advice with real highway ryding. It’s many years since I first ventured out onto the highway but I still remember how it seemed such a daunting task at the time. You managed to get the information across while at the same time showing that it’s not as scary as you first think. 👌🏻 Ryde Safe Brother 🙏🏻😎🏴
Thanks for the compliment! I'm going to start commissioning you to write my video description details 😅! You do a better job than me with explaining what I'm trying to show, You're a real homie 💯👑.. I'm waiting for that next Border Ryker video tho, I need my big green views! Stay cool
Thank you for good and practical advice. I am in Los Angeles and have a 2019 Ryker 600. Lot of your advice is very valid, here, too.
"Practical" ..YES! That's what I was going for, Thanks! And thanks for stopping in from way out in Cali 💯🐭
How's the 600 handle the freeways for you?
@@WhiskeyToro Not sure if directed toward Gamini, but my 600 handles well, I don't think much about it really. I recently upgraded to the stage 3 Elkas and I'm pretty smooth on any road these days now 😎
Great vid and all good advice. The first day I brought my Ryker is when my three wheeled experience began. And I had a 60 mile drive home on the interstate with no other side road options. I kind of parked in the granny lane at 65mph the whole way. I hated it when those semis blew by me.... :)
Keep up the good work.
Haha, Wow.. You really got thrown into it! 🔥 I got lucky when I picked mine up, No highway time til like the third time I rode it. Thanks for checking in!
I’m about to have this same experience Saturday but only like 30 miles 😂 😂 I
Good tips. The first couple hundred miles I had to consciously tell myself to loosen up the hand grip and relax a bit. In doing so it help me become one with any darting around the bike was doing..
For Real tho! I gripped the crap out of the handle bars the first time I passed an 18 wheeler, I wasn't expecting that hard push 😅. I got hand guard shields like you now, so my hands are even more chill these days 😎. You're new video was a fun ride!
Great common sense video Thank you
very very nice video, thanks for all the good tips. you're the man!
Thanks, Toby! ✌️💯🐭 I Appreciate the shout!
Awesome advice, I am in NorCali and I can’t tell you how many people seem to hate motorcycles. I ride with a big distance in front. If there is someone driving too close I switch lanes and let them go by then jump back into the lane that way they may think oh man I was following too close. This is great advice, yes I slow down so others can see me and always get out of harms way I try to stay in the middle lanes. Keep up the good content🙏
Big following distance is key for sure I believe. It sounds corny but I say, "..You can't hit what isn't in front of you.." 🤓 Thanks for watching!
I saw that post on FB, quite a bit of great info. Glad to see you do this video.
Thanks for the shout! 💯🐭 I might catch you in the FB group then!
It's the wind here in Florida. That wind on the water is no joke when it comes to the highway
I bet! 😮 ..Thanks for dropping in, Omar! ✌️💯🐭
Great video! Really good tips.
Thanks, man! There's way more but just wanted to voice the main ones that help me be cool with it 😎. You got a good Highway Riding Tip to share..?
Great job on the vlog
lol, I was like hmm this looks like Texas, and his accent is similar to mine... @2:10 Whataburger.. TEXAS CONFIRMED..lol
Haha, ✌️😁 #yeahdawg , Thanks for watching! #TexasRykerFam
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ALSO.. I have a video of me installing some new aftermarket hand grips dropping at 9pm tonight. Some sweet MotoGP ones, Italian...😉🏍💨🏁
EXCELLENT Video! Still have yet to conquer the freeway here, but have no qualms now about getting caught in the rain. Perspective, good judgment, awareness & being able to react efficiently is everything. Are the hand wind deflectors added onto the guards or is it all one piece? I have the guards... Ps: you took me out with the 🤥 comment. 🤣
Haha, yeah.. I was like "..Please don't get closer to that truck and make me look like a fool on here.."😅. The wind deflectors on the guards are a separate piece you put on. They look funny but I dig how they work..
I’m thinking about testing driving the Ryker
That'd be a fun experience for sure! ✌️💯🐭
Hopefully I get my ryker this year but driving on the highway I am extremely scared of that !!! Blowouts from 18 wheelers all kind of things being in the road people not paying attention to the traffic slowing down!
Nothing wrong with taking your time and waiting til you feel comfortable on your own to ride the highway, 👌😎. You'll be confident in your "court vision" after a while and you'll jump in with ease when you're ready. 💪💯🐭
Man your headlights are amazing looking like a helicopter chase when you was behind your budy there lol
Haha, YOU'RE RIGHT! 😆 ..and he is kinda the person that would have a helicopter chasing him at night..🤔😄
ThrillMouseMoto 😂😂😂😂😂 I know thats going to be me
🚨🚁💨
Don’t know what part of Texas your from but I live in Wichita Falls and I go to Dallas a few times a year. Holy crap driving through Dallas is insane. I try to drive defensively but people drive crazy there. I’m sweating and wore out when I get to where I’m going.
Sounds like Dallas for sure! The traffic there and the construction on roads to there are a drag.. Im super cautious when traveling thru, 💯🐭
Great advice .... for me I'm literally gonna jump on the highway 5 mins after I leave the dealership!!! Going straight to 80 mph ......
Haha, You're ready, Dawg! 💪💯🐭 ..You've definitely been tapped into the Ryker world enough to be a pro on your Ryker before you've even touched it! 😅 You're already PRO!
That looks fun I want one
They're a blast, Diego! 💪💯🐭
I’m torn now , never had a motorcycle but wanted to have one , I love the idea of 3 wheelers , I bought a slingshot but it feels more like a car I’m think to sell it and get a ryker
Definitely different, but having BOTH would be nice too! 👌😁 ..Thanks for watching, Mido! ✌️💯🐭
@@ThrillMouseMoto you are welcome, I loved your video brother , keep up the good work
I am concerned about the lack of speed on highways. In Nj 85 is the normal and I would feel vulnerable if i could not speed up at 85 just to get out of the way
80 is the speed limit here on our major highway and I can hang. I don't really get a chance to pass anyone though since my max is pretty much 87mph. ✌️💯🐭
Great advice. I currently ride a Yamaha XMAX 300. I mainly ride backroads. I have rode a couple hundred miles on the freeway at once and find its ok, but I am really reviving at speeds at 70-90. Thinking about getting a Ryker 600 for touring. Do you think you could tour with your Ryker 600? Or are you revving way to high at speeds around 80? I realize a Spider would be better for touring, just more money than I want to spend. I have seen you ride a friends Ryker 900, is that a game changer on the freeway or not that big of a difference.
I'm pretty happy with my 600, 💪💯🐭. ..Check out the video playlist on the channel that shows us taking our 600s on a 1200 mile round trip to New Mexico! ✌️😎
A windshield helps a lot for highway riding
For Sure! I'm going to start slapping one on mine for the long rides 💯🐭
This is one of my biggest worries when I get my ryker here in Georgia there's a lot of trucks on the road
You'll be good! Make sure your Ryker is sitting comfortable and you'll be ready when you need to be! 💯😎
@@ThrillMouseMoto thank bro I can't wait man it's almost that ime for me to pick one up
I know here in Dallas Fedex trucks act like they own the road
@@CRUZCONTROL YO! ..You're in Dallas..? You should hit me up, we're going to be shooting around there tomorrow.. Riding out to Waxahachie..? ..That how you spell that..?

I was on a major highway a few days ago and a partial blown semi tire was kicked up by the vehicle in front of me. Zero time to react. Hit the front corner of my vehicle. If i would have been on a bike, it wouldn't have been pretty.
Good input, Marshall! ..When I drive my car in perfect weather conditions I keep a certain following distance from the cars ahead of me. When it's dark out or raining I increase that following distance. When I'm on my Ryker I increase it even more. ..There are definitely certain road conditions and hazards that just don't fly too well with being on a motorcycle compared to being in a car, so we find ourselves taking certain precautions and stepping up our awareness when on a motorcycle. I find myself not as lax on the motorcycle than in a car and have an increased "street vision", 👀💯🐭. ..or I like to imagine I do, 👍
@@ThrillMouseMoto very good point. Stay safe 👍
just got a rally last Friday and the dealership was 45 minutes away.. had to immediately hit the highway lol
45 MINUTES! 😅 MAn, you had to be pro quick then..! One person told me their first drive from the dealership was in the rain.. 💀
got caught in the rain Wednesday lol yesterday was the only time I've drove my car since I've gotten the rally.. 493 miles put on it in a week
@@CRUZCONTROL Nice, I did a long 5 hour trip my first weekend I got my Ryker 😅
I know that feeling… I took the long way home! To avoid highway!

I took the training course and passed on driving and written test. Is their a delay on the throttle? Our Rykers we used couldn't go past 25 mph
No delay on throttle on my 600, 👌💯🐭
was this a voice over or mic?
I’m more concerned about cars behind me. My Ryker 900 sport 2024 stops on a dime. No other vehicle can stop as fast.
Are you ever gonna get a windscreen? :)
It's on the list! I promise my wind will be screened at some point in a ll this 🌬
Hi guys it's mason from McDonald's in Alamogordo new Mexico

Is it harder riding at night because you have less light coverage
The biggest difference when riding at night that I see is that your reaction time to what's in front of you is limited to how far your headlights reach. When driving at day I can see a tire re tread piece (..those old bits of tires that fall off 18 wheelers on the highway) from way a head of me since it's bright out and my eyes have a good reach ahead at what's coming. ..But at night time I'll only be able to see it once my headlights spot it and I'll only have that limited time to react. This night time issue might actually be worse off the highway since atleast on the highway there's lamp posts that light up the lanes some. So county roads and stuff like that will just be straight DARK at night, haha. With like deer and little animals that'll mess your Ryker up bad since the clearance is so low.. This is all where the headlight upgrade was important for me on my Ryker. Yo..! Good question ! ..I wish I mentioned this bit in the video.. Thanks for stopping in 💯🐭
Did you mention how much room for improvement there is on protective gear? Instructional videos should lead by example when you want to give credible advice to others, at least in my opinion. Shorts, Tshirt, no gloves... As the saying goes: "Clever riders protect what they want to keep."
That's a great tip too! The feeling of security you get from wearing all the gear you're comfortable with should definitely help riders feel better about getting out there on the highway their first time for sure 💯. Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to appreciate the channel! 🙏
@@ThrillMouseMoto it’s not simply about the “feeling “ of security but actually providing it to your body. Proper protection and good protective gear is the first thought before stepping on the bike. One mistake is all it takes, and not just us do mistakes but the cars around us too. Protect the limbs you want to keep. Wearing no protection doesn’t save you from others. You’d seriously reconsider your careless approach after your first fall of a moving bike when you see what the environment does to your body without protected arms or legs.
@@ericn471 That's all great stuff too, Thanks! We're too lucky to have subscribers that drop good knowledge to fill the comments up like this 🙏. See you on the next one! 💯🐭
What's the top speed for the ryker?
🔥🔥
AND WEAR SOME FREACKING GEAR SO YOU DON'T GET HURT.
Thanks, Andres! ✌️💯🐭
Dude! It's ironic you are making videos about riding safety. Where is your protective clothing? No gloves? No jacket?! Glad you at least have a helmet.
Glad you're glad, big dawg! Thanks for watching, ✌️💯🐭
This shit lowkey dodgy one mistake and you’re in some trouble
Hell yeah, Thanks! ✌️😁
