Back out on the CB1000 I see.... As far as your topic goes, I'm doing my part (actually always have). Theses only fan girls are sad, even sadder are their "followers". Porn is damaging to your mind, body, spirit etc. IMO (call me a prude, whatever). People need to live in the "real world", the actual world they live in. Find a nice girl, enjoy being with a REAL girl, stop wasting their lives.

That road would be sweet to go down in a snowstorm. Truck of course

😂😂 I can make this pencil disappear,slam! 😮

I’m pretty inebriated, and that “I’m talking to you,” thing was pretty effective and troubling.

Don't let @603on2 lie to ya all. He's wearing assless chaps and no pants 😮 leopard print thong 😂... I remember that trail, no thanks haha

I think you are reaching the practical (winter) off-road limits for the Z! I drank two cups of coffee watching this one, just to stay warm! haha

I have decided to watch your cold weather riding videos while I am drinking hot coco in front of my gas logs. Why some may ask? Because I get cold as heck just watching you! I have lived far to long in the south for motorcycling myself below 50! haha

Nice, I've been riding in NC in the 20's-40's lately. I use an axial base layer shirt and their face/head base layer and I was surprised at how well it did with knocking down the wind blast.

Makes pipes loud again 🎉 cool vid bud

You'll have to video with it on the bike to capture the sound. I ended up switching my stock exhaust for a "black" stainless Leo Vince slip on, and I am very pleased with it (look and sound).

I been looking for an exhaust tip like yours where did you find or do you know what size inlet it is?

If it was 34 degrees I’d be out riding too. But unfortunately it’s been in 20s and teens at night for 3 weeks in a row. I need my wind therapy

Fantastic message! I always valued good friends as literally better than gold. Helping your fellow man (woman, or child) unconditionally is one of the best things a human being can possible do! God bless you sir! Merry Christmas!!

Well said. Give when ever possible. You can make a huge impact with a small donation. Glad to have good people like yourself in this world, call to call ya a brotha

Yeah keep em up man. Even if you just ramble, sometimes that's okay too. It's nice to have something a bit more organic compared to a lot of content these days.

You're already my hero for riding in the mid-30's! Heck, 53 degrees destroy me! I don't produce content for youtube, so my advice is not worth much, but if it was... Well, I would say don't try "too hard", but keep trying overall. I find that you come across entertaining, but MORE importantly honest! Topics I would suggest (that would interest me) is how you chose your bikes, your hobbies, your career, the place you life... The big drawl (for me) was the bikes you own and ride, but after listening to you I'm interested in learning more about what "your world" involves. I just want to wish you well, I look forward to your next "one"! God bless and Merry Christmas (almost... tis the season)

Kudos for getting that little guy through some of those sections! I love riding my Honda CRF250F on my trails here at home, off roading can really enhance a motorcyclist riders skill! Thanks for doing/sharing this fun video!

Cool video I like the off road stuff

That trail (old railroad bed) reminds me of a trail near me in NC called the American Tobacco Trail. Great for cycling, running, walking in my area. Can't help you with the heated gear question... my limit is 55 degrees and above, temperatures below 55 means I drive my car :) Loved video games back in the day (so to speak), I'm probably 20-25 years your senior. My video game obsession was the "Doom" era on PC in the mid 90's. I still like to play driving sims now and then, but my equipment is old original xbox stuff... haha Anyway, enjoyed the video... Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and yours this wonderful day!

Sad

This was a really good video... I appreciate your reflections on this topic! I am a Christian, and even despite the comfort my faith gives me, as a human being I often find myself feeling worried or depressed sometimes. I can't even imagine how desperate many people must feel, when they don't have God to lean on (actually they do, they just don't realize it IMO). Anyway, thanks for making this content... Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been riding this bike since September and I'm TOTALLY in love Going to fit an arrow exhaust soon and I'm looking forward to hear the real voice of this beast 🔥

I would never buy an African Twin for myself, BUT I would love to be able to ride one across Asia, Africa, South America, etc. Maybe as a part of a small group of fellow riders. I agree with you that for most "local adventures" a good dirt bike or On/Off road bike would be better all around I think.

300 to 650s are pretty good for a city commute. Put the city miles on a cheaper bike and you don't burn up at a red light. Other than that power on a bike matters less than your personality. If you are responsible and smart with OK skills a 600 or 1k is probably fine. If your 16 and think your hot shit you will hurt yourself on anything, much more on a 600 or 1k.

Hey Man! Enjoyed your video I ride a ‘22 CB1k black edition I live in northern CT we should link up for a moto vlog one day! I got it brand new as a leftover in ‘23 and I use it as my daily vehicle 9-10 months of the year I love it too!

59 yrs old purchased xt250 for very first bike, wanted to figure out where I want to go with riding, once I have more street exp I'll start doing more off road and go from there. 500 miles in I think it's a perfect first motorcycle to learn the ropes, and either just stick with the simplicity of it, or trade up to bigger ADV or street bike, or just go with 2 bikes. Great video though pretty much agree with most of your opinions, don't go big if you're first starting out, spend $4k-6k and get something new or in quality shape...and fuck what everyone else thinks it doesn't matter, if you're not riding for yourself you should not be on the bike in first place.

Nice video but overly used frick and fuk adjectives throw me off personally. You do you, but I thought Id drop my critique. They don't add anything to your content. Overly used F's remind me of the un-educated/un-polished rider and I know that is NOT your case. Im on a m109r and am thinking for documenting my rides and came across you title. I have a AZ to Calif trip coming and although I have 2 old Go_pro and just bought a Insta360 x3 for the trip and am very rusty at vlogging. Cheers!

Love these videos! The windy twisty roads lined with trees is great, and peaceful to watch! And even if you were sponsored by a tampon company… I would still be a subscriber haha!

Keep it up bro most channels nowadays are more of the adrenaline type shit (speeding,wheelies) so such laid back and down to earth vids like yours are actually relaxing and refreshing

Serious answer to your "Am I doing to much (content)"... IMO no, but most of the channels I subscribe to typically release 2-3 videos per week. Too much, depending on the circumstances, can get annoying. The biggest "turn-off" for me though is clickbait junk, that I hate. So, just DON'T DO THAT!!! haha PS: I did my part for ya.... told some people I know to absolutely not subscribe to your channel! ;)

Loved the content man! Your videos have good video quality and good audio. Clean cuts that flow really well together! And the roads you’re on with the changing leaves is phenomenal to watch! Keep it up!

Id beat the sh*# out of this on my 125 manual on the heaviest commute of traffic on a Monday morning at 8am Too big too heavy cant go slow unnecessary drinks like an alcoholic and worthless commuter. Its why we buy right. If riding is ur hobby ur sad and lonely

I do in fact like this video, therefore I am commenting... haha Seriously, I found your insight into doing Motovlog interesting and helpful. I was always curious about how much a decent setup would cost. BTW, the roads you were riding look great and your ride seemed really chill/relaxing. Ride safe and good luck with your plans going forward!

strap your seat belt on

looks fun!

Well said. Great to grasp the basics. 1) shifting 2) clutch engagement 3) throttle control But don't depend on it to teach you everything, sometimes it'll even teach you bad habits like locking up the rear tire every time you stop 😂 guilty 🤚🏽

I agree with the sentiment, but I've also seen one too many newbies not being in control of much more bike than they could handle. So dream bike or no, starting out on 200hp is maybe not the best idea. Maybe get a 100hp ebay special first, one you won't mind dropping. Then once you get some miles in, go whole hog. As for the judgement, take it from a scooter-bro, I just don't give a toss. But I also won't put their backpack in my under seat storage during a group ride. You want to be a hater? Enjoy your sweaty back. I still ride my 50cc scooter, the thing's been tuned to hell and back. To me it's just more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than it is to ride a fast bike slow. 50cc mean wide open throttle all the time and still get like 200mpg. I had a first gen C-Evolution as a commuter for years, traded that in recently for a fully kitted C-04. Which is ridiculously fast off the line. I used to have an Aprilia SRV750, which was fun, but I don't need a scooter that does 240kph. So I traded in for a Honda XADV750, but I could never get used to the DCT. I ended up trading it in for an ADV350SE with all the works. And it's so far been great fun touring all over the EU. I think it's one of the best bikes out there. Though having said that, I usually won't let motorcyclists ride my scooters. For the simple reason that at say 30-40kph they want to shift, and grab a fistful of rear brake. The more experienced they are the more likely they are to instinctively reach for a clutch that isn't there.

dig your videos bro, about to get my first bike after i figure this truck sale out. Still not totally sure what but it's nice seeing someone level headed talking about the options. ride safe man

Love my z such a fun bike

Learned to ride on a 125cc, then upgraded to a Mt07, I've been riding my MT07 almost for 2 years but Im a little too big and heavy for the MT07 to be honest, great bike a lot of fun and Im starting to look for an upgrade. I want a naked bike, mostly for daily and city ride, would you recommend me to jump from the MT07 to a BMW S1000r? I was thinking about a ZH2 because it's big but I dont think It's a smart move really.

RIp Fred and Peanut. 🙏🙏

I bought a 451cc bike then got on the highway, uphill with a headwind. bad juju went to my Aprilia tuono 660, it does everything I need.

I disagree on 650s because they're great beginner bikes and daily commuter bikes for city use. On an SV650 you can go from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and the low end torque is great for high-congestion traffic riding.

D*ck out = practicing throttle control and hitting the thumbs up like it's a stylus 👈

Just bought my first bike, '85 VF500F. Commuted on a bicycle for a while now and I'm tired of trying to race pickups uphill to turn left (weird bylaws here)so when I saw that up for $600 I had to have it

i <3 my DR-Z400(2k2 "E" style)... nobody throws shade cuz - its great for its class(lightweight single), kids and girls wanna sit on it cuz it looks cool in a vintage kinda way, low maintenance, very manageable size/weight/power for beginner, you can practice off road, you can go 2-up if youre both medium build (combined weight ~400 max? ppl tend to respring em for 2up over 300lbs, ive put 320 on the "E" sub-frame with cheap added pegs, it took it but i was very gentle on those rides) plastics are cheaper than paint if you do drop it (you can even sand small scratches flat and finish with 1500-3000 grit for shiney), you could go su-mo and "track" it if you wanted or full dirt track... or some technical trails... ive even seen stunt drz setups and one super crisp "classic" cafe racer style. the low end torque makes it a great city bike. according to wikipedia suzuki really made dualsport what it was with the dr350... coined the term, as they say. being that its an all steel frame she can take gettin hit be a truck and she'll dust it off after a quick radiator swap... you might not bounce back AS quick. ask me how i know. downsides are - youll need a tank upgrade to put down a lot of miles, you get about 90-110 usable miles per stock tank. 3.6Gal will get you 160+miles theres also 3.9-4Gal options and 4.5Gal up to as much as 7.4Gal safari tanks which you could get over 350 miles... if you dont mind the bulk and carrying 30lbs of extra fuel. wheelie by accident? dont sit too far back and cover that rear brake! removing the carb... grrr. but once youre used to it you feel like a mechanic. im looking at the gsx8r for a second bike... i think 75-85 hp is a good jump from about 40 hp, i dont need to do 150mph and all the electronics would be a world of difference from the fully mechanical drz. plus the 2 yellow bikes next to each other in the garage looks nice in my head... just need a garage now... and a house.

I agree with the thumbnail. Tiny bikes are terrible rabbit builders. I Started on a HD 883. Now I'm riding my honda vtx 13 and I'm in love. Been moding her a bit without touching the engine and I'm learning a lot

Not meaning to be insensitive but, I don't feel remorse for those stupid riders that put themselves in a position to end their future. But when they effect another party or a passenger because they lack respect and brains to know any better, I wish them nothing but an early, solo lesson/ramification.

Agree for the most part. I bought a grom as my second bike and ride it 4x as much as my other bikes. I do think the mini bikes have a place for new riders that want to learn the mechanics (clutch, throttle, etc.) on something light and not “scary” before moving to something larger. For learning to ride on the street I think you need something larger.

2001 Yamaha R6 is a good beginner bike
