I don't know who you've been dating but the people I've been around prefer a lawn. shaved genitals equate to hours of itching, red bumps on every pore base, and full on shaved skin anywhere, tends to stick and demand breathing room. A bit of hair shows character, and shows you pay attention. none likes a wild hairy bush. all that stuck "crème", and not to mention smelly sweat comes from hair bases, in relation to the oil produced by hair. So don't shave your balls, clip them down within a millimeter, lower sweat, smell, and make your Odette look bigger.
Here’s how to enjoy your motorcycle as a noob: Wave to everyone on less than four wheels, pay no attention to if they wave back. Purchase a bike that you like (and can handle), and pay no attention to anyone who says you have the wrong bike.
Thats exactly what i am thinking. I dont think that supermotos are stupid, they are just stupid for me to buy, because i wont ever go off road, i dont like the looks and the stance you have on it
Can't tell you the number of times people try to tell me my CBR500R is heavy and underpowered. I have been eyeballing a nice used K1600 GT recently, maybe that'll hush them....oh there I go again talking about upgrades that will likely not happen. lol
maybe there is different. down here, "liter bikes" are prohibitive. so here i am. still enjoying my little 200cc. and i think i ride it more than lots of "big bike boys". some day, an upgrade will come. nothing fancy. something like cb500x or versys
A tip I can give: don't care at all if you do things that identify you as a beginner infront of other riders. Waddle at a red light, don't mind not using every inch of your tire and don't mind going slow. As long you are having fun, opinions of other riders are irrelevant and you will get more comfortable with your bike naturally.
Kelevelin, I couldn't have said that better myself. I ride my bike for my time to unwind and shed the fire department gear, I don't leather up unless it's cold, I'm not out to impress anybody.
@@charlesparr3296 I actually wear leather almost always because the thought of falling at 50km/h already terrifies me (and I've heard stories and they're not pretty). So to me it's the opposite: I have to stand tall when people want to belittle me for wearing proper gear on a 125cc. But displacement doesn't matter when you flip over a car or scrape over the asphalt face down at 70km/h. I'm definitely not out to impress anybody. I just don't wanna have my skin fused with my pants.
@@raipa111 well said hanna I have a fetish for small cc two strokes . But it's not how good you can ride its the car next to you who has to be good . I was on an rs 125 fp 1999 .she was in a big metal box on wheels . First time in years I had no upper body armour .four years of surgery to rebuild my left arm
2 down, every cycle i pass. First time someone threw this at me was 11 years ago and MAN idk why it felt so good. Its like, someone I didnt know was accepting me into the brotherhood of 2 wheels
I nodded to a guy walking out of a shop the other day because he had leathers on, the instinct is too strong. Only people who don't get a nod are f*cking uber eat riders -_-
Hey, I ride in full leather on the road too for the safety benefit. Dont make fun of that.... sliding on the pavement in leather is still way better. Talking from experience.
I have zero problem with anyone wearing full leathers in the street, over a person with no gear...as long as they are riding safe. Road rash ain't no joke, like you said. PLUS you need to break those bad boys in over time anyway, perfect excuse.
It is your personal choice, and probably he should not have mentioned that. But in all fairness, full leather is a bad choice for 90% riders. A proper set of riding jeans, a jacket, boots and gloves are way more convenient and flexible in terms of temperature and weather conditions. Safety wise, if everything is properly strapped, there will hardly be any difference between a street full leather and a "generic set". At least when we are talking sub light speeds. And it will be way more convenient for everyday use. Now, if you are riding in an actual sport, max safety race leather, that is a whole other thing altogether. But I genuinely have yet to see one outside of a track. After all, you can not confuse a real race leather with a generic "image" leather if you have seen people wear them at least once. This crab walk is unforgettable and hilarious, and both my mom and my girlfriend were laughing their asses off when they saw me coming back from our local track the first time. I wore my Alpinestars only a handful of times since then - super uncomfortable, back breaking on anything other than a track rocket and on an actual track. That is probably the worst $800 I have spent in my entire life.
I got rid of my VFR in oct 2019, started riding a CBR600RR last month. I have become a complete and utter noob rider again. It's humbling but humiliating at the same time lmao. I didn't realize 10 more horsepower and 100 fewer pounds would make such a massive difference
I think that's a generally flawed approach. It depends entirely on how you want to use the bike. Becoming a great cruiser rider doesn't mean you're going to be a great superbike rider. People should start on the bike they feel most comfortable with, and one that fits their intended riding style. I started on a liter bike, and I'm glad I did. It saved me money in the long run by not having to upgrade several times to reach the top, and used liter bikes aren't much more than used 600/750cx bikes. I spent many hours practicing in the parking lot and on the DMV training course when I first started riding. I would say that made me a better rider than most 250 riders who think they don't need to practice because, "It's just a small bike."
As a duel sport rider I can confirm, it looks kinda lame, but Damn is it fun off-road and even on-road, *it’s more exciting to ride a slow bike fast then to ride a fast bike slow.*
Yammie, as someone who has ridden since I was 5 years old, and am now 55, I can see that you get it. Riding is so much more if you can forget who got to the bottom of the canyon first, or who has the smallest chicken strip. Your mind is expanding rapidly Yammie, keep up the good work!
Best thing about the MSF course was getting to try out all the different types of bikes, I ended up going standard even though I wanted a sport initially because of how much more comfortable it was! Cruisers weren't for me, but it was fun to try them out! No bikes are dumb, they're all fun :)
Meh riding together is nice ive got a lot of friends riding and if the slower ones go in front then its really cool Backside needs to warn if assholes try ti overtake tho like literally if it was one bike sure have fun but 4 bikes carrying 4 to 6 souls ...
THIS!!! My NC750X DCT is often called a scooter by “real MC riders”... I have yet to lose a stop line drag against any vehicle not considered a sports car...😂
I love my r3, tops out at 113- 115 if I'm pushing it hard, plenty of speed for now and still able to maneuver easily so its all good. Only been riding for 8 months, eventually I will get a r6 or a gixxer 750 but after I enjoy my r3 some more
@@landonfolken03 I'm a chungus, so I'm not passing on the highway on my Grom, but I'm off the line faster than most vehicles with either of my small bikes.
Since I've begun the process this past weekend to acquiring my first set of 2 wheels by the start of this summer, this vid is absolutely clutch. Thanks, Papa Yam, for producing 2 years' worth of content that finally brought me to the breaking point of pulling the trigger on this journey.
I’m still stuck trying to pick my bike. I don’t have a chance to actually test ride any of the three. Yamaha MT07 Honda CB650R Ducati V2 Gotta decide by the end of March.
My Dad: Oh you got another one of those huh? Me: I know you literally hate my bike choices, and are basically disowning me. You wanna go for a ride anyway? My Dad: Is a frogs ass watertight?
You are so right about people overlooking bikes because of their numbers not being as "good" as a competitor. The GSX-S 750 is a victim of this. People say its too heavy and has no power in comparison to the others. But what they don't realize is that it handles amazing, has a great sound, and it still is chill just cruising too. Might I add the seat is very comfortable.
Im 19 and have my g35 and yesterday i finished paying off my 09 ninja 250r i know its small but im excited to experience what my dad experienced on two wheels even though i wont be racing a 675 daytona at a raceway but i just enjoy the street cruising culture.
Exactly. I never had leather pants, but when I still rode, I would hardly ride without a leather jacket. And I was sure happy I had it on when the car in front of me stopped while entering a freeway while I had looked to my left to see if it was safe to merge. The leather took the impact a hell of a lot better than my skin would have.
Yep I wear full Leathers on the street so when you end up on the ground in your tennis shoes and skinny jeans you're going to wish you had Leathers too just saying 😂
I learned to ride on a Rebel 250, got myself an FZ6 later (which I love and still have) but now I want an R3 also to learn fine control and extracting speed from riding something in which I am not the limiting factor to how fast I can go. Never let anyone shame you for riding small displacement bikes. It is so much more fun to ride a slow bike at the limit than to ride a fast bike well below the limit (applies to cars too)
Same here, my first bike was a Ninja 300. Rode it for three years then bought my new Z900. I have no regrets at all learning on the 300. I have a good friend that is a Harley knob and he gave me crP about getting the 300. Easiest way to shut down Harley knobs is to simply ask them how many times their bike has been in the shop the past year. Shuts them up every time 😄😄. Disclosure, not every person that owns a Harley is a knob, just specific ones, but, there are knobs in every brand.
As someone who has driven both 180mph cars and now a 150mph bike, i agree. Ive literally only hit 150 twice in my life. Both times in cars. And both sketchy as hell. The only thing i will say is that having the power on tap to go that fast does mean you can more easily avoid other idiots (because you're definitely in the idiot club with those machines in those situations). Other than that, there's really no benefit to having them. But i do love them.
Hi. I really like ur content man. I have been watching for almost two years waiting to get a bike and I’m finally getting an r3. I really appreciate the content and the beginner rider advice u have.
I’m driving a 105hp, 600cc sports bike now, I tested a 125hp Z1000 And I toured on a 45hp 399cc adv. All equally fun and awesome in different circumstances 😍 and driving a “slower” bike all out is super fun!!!!
Maaan I’ve done 120 on a 39 year old bike and had a blast but I loved riding my buddies scooter sooo much more. Hell I had a bigger smile then when I rode my buddies 05 zx6r (now mine)
i have textiles for the winter and leathers for the summer - i live in scotland so winters are cold and the summers are meh. just too warm for my winter gear but perfect for my leathers - the leathers most definitely are overkill for my 125cc sport bike but i find them surprisingly comfy and id rather have overkill gear than not enough
Yeah, I got taught no matter what you ride, road rash is road rash so it's generally a sensible idea to gear up, and that was by a dude who'd been biking longer than I'd been alive
@@cptsteele91 exactly what I was told. 30 mph is 30 mph no matter the bike had a 300 for a year rode with others to learn more on turns now on our turns I can finally keep up with bigger bikes without over pushing
I started riding about 2 weeks ago. Bought a YAMAHA FZ6R 600 cc… the first thing I said to my mom and dad was that “I’m not gonna break any speed limits till I get comfortable”. Apparently I got real comfortable in one week of riding…
I started riding dirt bikes on a farm barefoot when I was 12, I am now 50 and have not stopped since. My first road bike was a 50cc two stroke when I was 16, the day I turned 18 I bought a CB900.
I started on a Ninja 250. Got it for a commuter bike for work, ended up being my 7 day a week, zippy curved mountain roads 2-4 hour road trip having a blast with 74mpg, bike. Small, light unbelievable control and plenty of power for riding. So, it was hard to pop a wheelie with, but I didn't do wheelies. My next bike was a Suzuki Vstrom 650 and it's my all around, can go pretty much anywhere and pack a full campsite with me + a lady friend, bike. I almost bought a bigger CC sport bike. Glad I didn't. I almost bought a single seat Honda Rebel 600. Glad I didn't. I almost bought a Harley Davidson XL883 Iron. SOOOOO glad I didn't. Vstrom Dual Sport is the perfect bike for me, and I don't care what anybody says.
Got to love yammje noob. Kind of crazy that he taught me the majority of what I know about bikes. Sold my cb500f yesterday and bought a used suzuki sv650, couldn't be happier. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and fun
You can get decent riding jeans now that are AAA rated, same as leathers, the Kevlar is sawn into the denim and very safe (as safe as bikes can be) ride safe 😃
Very expensive, less comfortable for longer rides, might overheat you easily in warmer climates, and equally bad in cold weather due to lack of insulating options - and for street speed it's overkill (unless you get extremely unlucky). But I mean, if neither of those points are a negative to you then go ahead, high safety can never be a bad thing and who cares what we look like anyways. So many dudes (sometimes myself included) rock the exo armor thingies and look like the main character from Crysis lmao.
Dam yummiest always entertaining and sometimes informative. I been riding my whole life grew up in a biking family. On road off road. Never did the track thing. And the don't buy to big of a bike your first time out is gold. My son apon returning from deployment bought a 1300 bul and he is 5'4" and never had a bike. His buddy bought Harleys mostly sporty. And had to wait 2 months to receive his bike as the dealer sold his bike even knowing 2 years in advance of pick up date. And was paid for in full. While he was waiting I tried to talk him into a smaller bike( did I mention he is 5'4") and even said my friends a 600 crochet rocket is light nimble and wicked fast and will cause you to learn how to ride better as yout have to work the gears and not just twist the throttle. Long story short after dropping the bike twice trying to to tippy toe at a stoplight. And Harley could not get that bike to run right I went to 6 shops. Finally got a 600 and road the pics ot of that bike. Later he said I was right about the bike and he would have rather dump a dirt bike at full speed along the rail road tracks. Than admit he picked the wrong bike. Now a 1300cc bike is way to big for most first time riders and 600 is pushing it but a buel is a tall man's bike 34" seat height and no aftermarket lowering parts available and cutting the seat foam might get you 2" lower at the cost of your comfort. But when I said the bike was to big for him several people had said so as well and he was having none of that. So when I said it he thought I was commenting on cc size and I was but more importantly can't touch the ground flat footed with out exssive lean.
News flash: some people wear full gear on the street because of others around them driving like maniacs. Riding gear is like most "inconveniences", I'd rather always have it and never need it, than not have it once and need it.
Hey yammie, was always into bobbers, still am, but your channel pushed me towards supermotos, upon a bunch of searching, I found a 2012 husky txc310 with less than 2k miles! And I love it!

@@benson4u215 Thanks for the tip! When I got the bike the carbs were leaking. I painstakingly removed them, tore them completely apart and rejetted/rebuilt them with some fresh seals after I scrubbed all the parts down. She runs great now!
I’ve got a grandpa bike. 86 goldwing interstate. And yes, I am a grandpa. I love it. It don’t lean far enough to drag a knee, it’ll scrape the pegs though, won’t wheelie, it’s like a mini van on two wheels. Super smooth!!
@@dylank3333 I say cool, then go on my ride while they change the oil, trailer it to the OHV park about that time I am at the fish and chips place polishing off lunch over at the coast when I get the text.
Or construction zones. People whine about them but for me they are just opportunity. I like passing a hundred cars stuck because of construction. I know they're all watching me.
Yammie, when I brought my second bike the kid I brought it from was 18 and had brought the bike 6 months before at 17 (the bike was an sv650). He said he was on his way to buy a gsxr 1000 and I said it was nice knowing him.
A well ridden SV can surprise riders of much faster bikes on twisty roads. I feel sad for the people who dismiss them as a beginner bike, or a girl's bike, so will never know how much fun they are to ride.
@@weevilinabox It all leads back to being a beginner rider isn't always about the time you spent on a bike, but rather whether your bike mentality has grown or not. Many people with 5-10 years of riding are still beginner riders in terms of mindset.
@@alexanderwoolverton2813 your SV650 is on every top 10 bike list ever. No joke. My son bought a used one and I had to ride it home. It is probably one of thee best handling bikes of all time. The acceleration is pretty good and you can modify it quite a bit. Great bang for the buck and perfect bike to get good on.

LMFAO! I can relate to the first one. "I'll take it easy on my 600 mom, I'm not here to act like an idiot, I'm no dare devil". 10 Months later after purchasing my new 600, I'm already popping wheelies and trying to do stoppies! ✌
I like my chicken strips. Gives me peace of mind knowing that if I overcook a corner, I can lean farther than I ever have and still have a shot at surviving.
Body position, proficient trail braking and counter steering is probably going to be a better solution than using up chicken strip's in that situation.
@@wradford1 Is this the motorcycling equivalent of "Git Gud"? And again, say you do all those things and you are *still* coming in too hot? Answer, lean lower and put faith in the tires. Chicken strips show how much emergency lean you have yet to use.
@@UncleDon226 Yes, well when you git gud you realize that just " leaning farther than you ever have " if you " overcook a corner " is not the solution and may not give you a better " shot at surviving "
@@wradford1 "Shit, I misjudged my entry speed! Let's think... The tires show I have more lean angle left, so I can push deeper and trust the tires. WAIT SHIT! Some guy on the internet said that is not the solution! I guess I'd better ride off into the ditch then. Shucks." Youre a real genius, arent you mate?
Fun Fact: It seems all Macy's parade balloons were released from their (official?) introduction in 1927 until 1932 when one wrapped around an airplane's wing causing it to tailspin.

Great Vid. Laughing, agreeing, seen it , heard it, experienced it, said it. I still take lessons from professionals. I enjoy the track way more than the street. I take my purpose built R3 to the track often, the bigger bikes in my garage go out occasionally. By the grace of God. Im still alive. 😎
From a long time ago, in a bike shop pretty far away: Honda CB350 rider - it’ll do 120. Honda CB450 rider - I’ve had it to 140 and it was still climbing. If you wanted to hear some tall tales, you could ask any new rider how fast his bike was. The correct answer was usually, “I don’t know.” I had a 1972 CB450. It would go 90mph. If the speedometer was correct. CYCLE magazine did a comparison test with a CB450 and a CB500 four. They said the 500 would just touch 100mph, and the 450 would do 90mph. I don’t know if they were using the speedometers or some other means to check speed. I’ve got some brochures from manufacturers in the 60’s and 70’s, and they lied about performance figures too. The CB450 brochure claimed it could do a 1/4 mile in 13.2 seconds. Also - “my chain can’t be worn out; there’s plenty of adjustment left.” (Maybe a not-so-new rider.) And - “I outran a police car…” (This might have been possible back then, but not with a beginner.) I actually heard a small town cop say these exact words: “A friend of mine had a Triumph and he built a Harley out of it.” Maybe he meant “chopper.” That was 45 years ago. I didn’t correct him. I wasn’t that mean. Probably mean enough these days, though. Chicken strips - I remember hearing a few years ago about people putting used race tires on their street bikes, because after a pro wore the tires out, most the wear was where chicken strips should be. Don’t know if that’s true. I guess if you never rode in the rain…
For those who dont know, in the EU its law, your are age restricted to the cc size of the bike. Keeping you as a new guy alot safer, naturally if your over 25 you can just get a liter bike, but you still have to take riding classes and an exam. I used to think it was stupid, but those classes definitely helped me keep safe and understanding what to do and not. No one cares if your on a slow bike. You ride, your one of the guys.
Some/most bikes go faster than the person on them can comprehend. And when you say that they still dont get what your saying. Your doing a great thing with this video. Ego and attitude are gonna get good ppl in a mess of I told you so's from family and friends. -make proper choices

I bought a bike this weekend and did my MSF course. I’m happy. If I learned 1 thing this weekend from the course that will help me at any point I’m happy.
2:05 Says that going fast on the street is unsafe (and probably not the wisest choice) and simultaneously shows the perfect straight line to go 180mph without any problems
It's so fun because people are just like this, most of them just want to grab attention. I recently was given a 50cc bike as a present, and even tho it's slow, i made a couple of adjustments so now keeps up with traffic and i love riding it, of course i know i will probably upgrade in the future but i don't care about it. I come from a Bmx riding background and i've seen so much of this aswell. I'm very glad that riding a bmx has tought me so much about being humble and getting to know that the ones that brag de most, usually are the ones that enjoy riding the less. Stay humble and enjoy what your ride/ drive and just try to get better at it, for yourself only, not for the others.
I'm still shocked at the performance that my 19 year old 225 dual sport has. I ot that bike with the intention of buying something else for the street but it's actually plenty fast for me. (It's my first road bike)
Started off on an dual sport. Switched to a rocket. Switched to a cruiser. Switched to a “plain” street bike. And now finally back to a dual sport again and will probably be here for awhile.
Started with a trail bike, got a small, old UJM/cruiser, then a larger, older UJM/cruiser, then that bike's big brother, then a much larger, slightly newer naked Japanese, then it's smaller brother, then that one's older brother. Now have a tiny UJM made in India. Have also had a Vespa Sprint along the way. Next will be a modern clubman. People have laughed at a couple of my rides, their laughter merely proved they knew nothing.
This video was right on! Been riding on and off road for 35 years and started out small then slowly worked my way up. Best way to go! I especially appreciated the part about liter bikes (and above in my case) not being all that great on the street. My ZX14R is actually boring on my favorite twisty roads I can literally stay in one gear for almost all of them and it takes some of the fun out of the ride. Seriously thinking about getting back to my roots with something like an MT07 or even a DRZ400SM. Favorite bike back in the day was the 88-92 Honda Hawk GT650.
Yam, i agree with most of the stuff EXCEPT for the fairy dust. Never underestimate fairy dust! You could springle that stuff on a Harley Davidson and it would actually become a really good bike! okay maybe not.
Papa yammie, I scheduled my MSF course in 2 weeks and can’t wait to get my license, I’m going to turn 17 right before the weekend and glad I’m starting early
I decided to join the America Legion Riders, so I took an ABATE training course, when I passed, I took the endorsement to the DMV. The ALR's said I needed a 750cc or bigger bike to join. I got a Honda Goldwing fully dressed, it was a very powerful & comfortable touring bike, but it was too much bike to get back up, when it fell over while trying to turn around in a parking lot. Next, I got a Honda Shadow VT750, cruiser it has good power, it's not as comfortable as the Goldwing on long rides, but I can handle it better in parking lots. I am very happy with it. Being water cooled & shaft driven works great for parades.

@@MrMackAtack I ride within my capabilities. Only way I'm coming off is by getting hit. There are no cars where I ride so it's unlikely. Why, were you hoping?
@Michael Smith I live in the city. I ride in heavy traffic daily. Rush hour is insane. I just ride sensibly when it's not safe to go fast. Too many idiots on their phones, not looking when they pull out. The countryside is my playground. Its all about knowing the time and place. So I disagree sir. I'm always ready.
@Michael Smith 150mph plus on moorland roads says enough. 100mph plus in 30 zones occasionally. Form your own opinion. Most would say I ride like a prick. I'm far from a sensible rider, I just choose when and where. Stop trying to be an argumentative prick sir. It's unbecoming.
Yammie Noob: beginners trash other riders who don't ride the same way as them Also Yammie Nub: People who ride twisties hard but never go to the track suck and are beginners
I kinda have to disagree on the chicken strip point, yes it's good to have less lean angle on the street Yada Yada... BUT if you never have experienced higher lean angles then the chicken strip is not your margin for error, it's just your limit of how confident you are on a bike (with proper body positioning). you will not see a motorcycle rider magically gain the ability to use the previously unused part of their tire if they never used it before. Also the tire will wear unevenly making the transition onto the chicken strip less progressive as well as decreasing the contact patch. I'd say learn to use all of your tire safely at a safety course or on a track and then go out and see your chicken strips as margins for error.
I'll never get the whole "I'm upgrading next week" thing. I recently downgraded from a litre bike (for the exact reason Yammie described) to a Duke 790 and it's the best choice I ever made as a rider. Less power can be way more fun!
I’ve seen people with chicken strips after a full day of riding track. Some people can’t learn, either you have it, or you don’t. Also a majority of riders that don’t, ride really nice Ducati’s. You need to have a good friend who knows how to ride to help you. Not even a track day will make someone a level 2a rider. Find a fast friend and follow them and learn and ask everything. Twist of the Wrist watch it.

A bit of hair shows character, and shows you pay attention. none likes a wild hairy bush. all that stuck "crème", and not to mention smelly sweat comes from hair bases, in relation to the oil produced by hair.
So don't shave your balls, clip them down within a millimeter, lower sweat, smell, and make your Odette look bigger.
Don't worry. Man'scaped has clippers, and razors for your chin and armpits
Dude, I don't want your shit. I thought this was an educational channel not a pubic hair shaving infomercial.
Here’s how to enjoy your motorcycle as a noob:
Wave to everyone on less than four wheels, pay no attention to if they wave back. Purchase a bike that you like (and can handle), and pay no attention to anyone who says you have the wrong bike.
I did this without ever second thinking lol
Thats exactly what i am thinking. I dont think that supermotos are stupid, they are just stupid for me to buy, because i wont ever go off road, i dont like the looks and the stance you have on it
Can't tell you the number of times people try to tell me my CBR500R is heavy and underpowered. I have been eyeballing a nice used K1600 GT recently, maybe that'll hush them....oh there I go again talking about upgrades that will likely not happen. lol
maybe there is different. down here, "liter bikes" are prohibitive. so here i am. still enjoying my little 200cc. and i think i ride it more than lots of "big bike boys".
some day, an upgrade will come. nothing fancy. something like cb500x or versys
Alternatively, you can run over the one person that said you have the wrong bike
A tip I can give: don't care at all if you do things that identify you as a beginner infront of other riders. Waddle at a red light, don't mind not using every inch of your tire and don't mind going slow. As long you are having fun, opinions of other riders are irrelevant and you will get more comfortable with your bike naturally.
Kelevelin, I couldn't have said that better myself. I ride my bike for my time to unwind and shed the fire department gear, I don't leather up unless it's cold, I'm not out to impress anybody.
I'd sort of agree with this sentiment, but I ride like people are watching so as to avoid picking up bad habits like waddling.
This! 100% This.
@@charlesparr3296 I actually wear leather almost always because the thought of falling at 50km/h already terrifies me (and I've heard stories and they're not pretty). So to me it's the opposite: I have to stand tall when people want to belittle me for wearing proper gear on a 125cc. But displacement doesn't matter when you flip over a car or scrape over the asphalt face down at 70km/h.
I'm definitely not out to impress anybody. I just don't wanna have my skin fused with my pants.
@@raipa111 well said hanna I have a fetish for small cc two strokes . But it's not how good you can ride its the car next to you who has to be good .

as a new rider, the subtle nod that other bikers give me as we pass makes me very happy
Someone revved at me for the first time, I revved back it was a special moment
Yeah, the biker nod is a fun phenomenon, can often tell if bus drivers or truckers are bikers too cos they'll wave
@@cptsteele91 yeah I’ve also had a couple salutes, gotta salute back.
2 down, every cycle i pass. First time someone threw this at me was 11 years ago and MAN idk why it felt so good. Its like, someone I didnt know was accepting me into the brotherhood of 2 wheels
I nodded to a guy walking out of a shop the other day because he had leathers on, the instinct is too strong. Only people who don't get a nod are f*cking uber eat riders -_-
Hey, I ride in full leather on the road too for the safety benefit. Dont make fun of that.... sliding on the pavement in leather is still way better. Talking from experience.
I have zero problem with anyone wearing full leathers in the street, over a person with no gear...as long as they are riding safe. Road rash ain't no joke, like you said. PLUS you need to break those bad boys in over time anyway, perfect excuse.
Was just about to say the same.
My old textile motorcycle pant and some of my butt skin agree with that
Meh i like fabric, fabric never let me down
It is your personal choice, and probably he should not have mentioned that. But in all fairness, full leather is a bad choice for 90% riders. A proper set of riding jeans, a jacket, boots and gloves are way more convenient and flexible in terms of temperature and weather conditions. Safety wise, if everything is properly strapped, there will hardly be any difference between a street full leather and a "generic set". At least when we are talking sub light speeds. And it will be way more convenient for everyday use. Now, if you are riding in an actual sport, max safety race leather, that is a whole other thing altogether. But I genuinely have yet to see one outside of a track. After all, you can not confuse a real race leather with a generic "image" leather if you have seen people wear them at least once. This crab walk is unforgettable and hilarious, and both my mom and my girlfriend were laughing their asses off when they saw me coming back from our local track the first time. I wore my Alpinestars only a handful of times since then - super uncomfortable, back breaking on anything other than a track rocket and on an actual track. That is probably the worst $800 I have spent in my entire life.
That was the smoothest transition to a sponsorship ive ever seen, didn’t even see it coming.
I know right I was like I’ve never heard any bikers talk about shaving their man squirrel while riding.
I agree and whatever that sponsor paid yammie it wasnt enough. This dude is so entertaining you just want to listen.
Foreals. I didn't realize it was an ad until half way through it.
That's kinda his thing
Rather than buying a bigger bike to go faster, get better at riding.
for anyone who doubts, watch the vid of the dude on a goldwing throwing sparks on the dragon.
Invest in learning how to ride than investing in a bigger bike you cant ride.. soemthing like taht from MotoJitsu
@Titifo 1 Great, practice on that! You don't need a bigger bike to go fast, you just have to be good.
I got rid of my VFR in oct 2019, started riding a CBR600RR last month. I have become a complete and utter noob rider again. It's humbling but humiliating at the same time lmao. I didn't realize 10 more horsepower and 100 fewer pounds would make such a massive difference
I think that's a generally flawed approach. It depends entirely on how you want to use the bike. Becoming a great cruiser rider doesn't mean you're going to be a great superbike rider. People should start on the bike they feel most comfortable with, and one that fits their intended riding style. I started on a liter bike, and I'm glad I did. It saved me money in the long run by not having to upgrade several times to reach the top, and used liter bikes aren't much more than used 600/750cx bikes. I spent many hours practicing in the parking lot and on the DMV training course when I first started riding. I would say that made me a better rider than most 250 riders who think they don't need to practice because, "It's just a small bike."

Best thing about the MSF course was getting to try out all the different types of bikes, I ended up going standard even though I wanted a sport initially because of how much more comfortable it was! Cruisers weren't for me, but it was fun to try them out! No bikes are dumb, they're all fun :)

Dude your manscape advertising is brilliant well explained and funny nice one wish more adds were that good
“Just enjoy what you have” best line in the entire video
I wear full leathers on the street sometimes. Going to my first track day this summer.
You are so right about people overlooking bikes because of their numbers not being as "good" as a competitor. The GSX-S 750 is a victim of this. People say its too heavy and has no power in comparison to the others. But what they don't realize is that it handles amazing, has a great sound, and it still is chill just cruising too. Might I add the seat is very comfortable.
Im 19 and have my g35 and yesterday i finished paying off my 09 ninja 250r i know its small but im excited to experience what my dad experienced on two wheels even though i wont be racing a 675 daytona at a raceway but i just enjoy the street cruising culture.
Riding in full leathers on the street isn’t bad, it’s just cautious 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly.
I never had leather pants, but when I still rode, I would hardly ride without a leather jacket. And I was sure happy I had it on when the car in front of me stopped while entering a freeway while I had looked to my left to see if it was safe to merge. The leather took the impact a hell of a lot better than my skin would have.
Yep I wear full Leathers on the street so when you end up on the ground in your tennis shoes and skinny jeans you're going to wish you had Leathers too just saying 😂
I learned to ride on a Rebel 250, got myself an FZ6 later (which I love and still have) but now I want an R3 also to learn fine control and extracting speed from riding something in which I am not the limiting factor to how fast I can go. Never let anyone shame you for riding small displacement bikes. It is so much more fun to ride a slow bike at the limit than to ride a fast bike well below the limit (applies to cars too)
Same here, my first bike was a Ninja 300. Rode it for three years then bought my new Z900. I have no regrets at all learning on the 300. I have a good friend that is a Harley knob and he gave me crP about getting the 300. Easiest way to shut down Harley knobs is to simply ask them how many times their bike has been in the shop the past year. Shuts them up every time 😄😄. Disclosure, not every person that owns a Harley is a knob, just specific ones, but, there are knobs in every brand.
As someone who has driven both 180mph cars and now a 150mph bike, i agree. Ive literally only hit 150 twice in my life. Both times in cars. And both sketchy as hell. The only thing i will say is that having the power on tap to go that fast does mean you can more easily avoid other idiots (because you're definitely in the idiot club with those machines in those situations). Other than that, there's really no benefit to having them. But i do love them.
Hi. I really like ur content man. I have been watching for almost two years waiting to get a bike and I’m finally getting an r3. I really appreciate the content and the beginner rider advice u have.

I’m driving a 105hp, 600cc sports bike now,
I tested a 125hp Z1000
And I toured on a 45hp 399cc adv.
All equally fun and awesome in different circumstances 😍 and driving a “slower” bike all out is super fun!!!!
Maaan I’ve done 120 on a 39 year old bike and had a blast but I loved riding my buddies scooter sooo much more. Hell I had a bigger smile then when I rode my buddies 05 zx6r (now mine)
i have textiles for the winter and leathers for the summer - i live in scotland so winters are cold and the summers are meh. just too warm for my winter gear but perfect for my leathers - the leathers most definitely are overkill for my 125cc sport bike but i find them surprisingly comfy and id rather have overkill gear than not enough
Yeah, I got taught no matter what you ride, road rash is road rash so it's generally a sensible idea to gear up, and that was by a dude who'd been biking longer than I'd been alive

I started riding about 2 weeks ago. Bought a YAMAHA FZ6R 600 cc… the first thing I said to my mom and dad was that “I’m not gonna break any speed limits till I get comfortable”. Apparently I got real comfortable in one week of riding…
Proof that it is better to be silent have people think you’re an idiot than to say something and remove all doubt
(Paraphrased)
I started riding dirt bikes on a farm barefoot when I was 12, I am now 50 and have not stopped since. My first road bike was a 50cc two stroke when I was 16, the day I turned 18 I bought a CB900.
Damn, your feet must be worn down to the bone by now.
Bro that manscaped segue was smoother than a race track
I started on a Ninja 250. Got it for a commuter bike for work, ended up being my 7 day a week, zippy curved mountain roads 2-4 hour road trip having a blast with 74mpg, bike. Small, light unbelievable control and plenty of power for riding. So, it was hard to pop a wheelie with, but I didn't do wheelies.
My next bike was a Suzuki Vstrom 650 and it's my all around, can go pretty much anywhere and pack a full campsite with me + a lady friend, bike.
I almost bought a bigger CC sport bike. Glad I didn't.
I almost bought a single seat Honda Rebel 600. Glad I didn't.
I almost bought a Harley Davidson XL883 Iron. SOOOOO glad I didn't.
Vstrom Dual Sport is the perfect bike for me, and I don't care what anybody says.

why shouldnt you ride always in full leathers, its the most protective
a bit gay bro
Yes it’s safe but going at street speeds you just don’t need that level of protection. Somethings are just better left at the track.
You can get decent riding jeans now that are AAA rated, same as leathers, the Kevlar is sawn into the denim and very safe (as safe as bikes can be) ride safe 😃
Guys look sexy in full leathers, protective aswell 🤷🏼♀️
Very expensive, less comfortable for longer rides, might overheat you easily in warmer climates, and equally bad in cold weather due to lack of insulating options - and for street speed it's overkill (unless you get extremely unlucky). But I mean, if neither of those points are a negative to you then go ahead, high safety can never be a bad thing and who cares what we look like anyways. So many dudes (sometimes myself included) rock the exo armor thingies and look like the main character from Crysis lmao.
Dam yummiest always entertaining and sometimes informative. I been riding my whole life grew up in a biking family. On road off road. Never did the track thing. And the don't buy to big of a bike your first time out is gold. My son apon returning from deployment bought a 1300 bul and he is 5'4" and never had a bike. His buddy bought Harleys mostly sporty. And had to wait 2 months to receive his bike as the dealer sold his bike even knowing 2 years in advance of pick up date. And was paid for in full. While he was waiting I tried to talk him into a smaller bike( did I mention he is 5'4") and even said my friends a 600 crochet rocket is light nimble and wicked fast and will cause you to learn how to ride better as yout have to work the gears and not just twist the throttle. Long story short after dropping the bike twice trying to to tippy toe at a stoplight. And Harley could not get that bike to run right I went to 6 shops. Finally got a 600 and road the pics ot of that bike. Later he said I was right about the bike and he would have rather dump a dirt bike at full speed along the rail road tracks. Than admit he picked the wrong bike. Now a 1300cc bike is way to big for most first time riders and 600 is pushing it but a buel is a tall man's bike 34" seat height and no aftermarket lowering parts available and cutting the seat foam might get you 2" lower at the cost of your comfort. But when I said the bike was to big for him several people had said so as well and he was having none of that. So when I said it he thought I was commenting on cc size and I was but more importantly can't touch the ground flat footed with out exssive lean.
News flash: some people wear full gear on the street because of others around them driving like maniacs. Riding gear is like most "inconveniences", I'd rather always have it and never need it, than not have it once and need it.

2:12 that’s the smoothest placed advertising i’ve ever seen
From a long time ago, in a bike shop pretty far away:
Honda CB350 rider - it’ll do 120.
Honda CB450 rider - I’ve had it to 140 and it was still climbing.
If you wanted to hear some tall tales, you could ask any new rider how fast his bike was. The correct answer was usually, “I don’t know.”
I had a 1972 CB450. It would go 90mph. If the speedometer was correct. CYCLE magazine did a comparison test with a CB450 and a CB500 four. They said the 500 would just touch 100mph, and the 450 would do 90mph. I don’t know if they were using the speedometers or some other means to check speed. I’ve got some brochures from manufacturers in the 60’s and 70’s, and they lied about performance figures too. The CB450 brochure claimed it could do a 1/4 mile in 13.2 seconds.
Also - “my chain can’t be worn out; there’s plenty of adjustment left.” (Maybe a not-so-new rider.)
And - “I outran a police car…” (This might have been possible back then, but not with a beginner.)
I actually heard a small town cop say these exact words: “A friend of mine had a Triumph and he built a Harley out of it.” Maybe he meant “chopper.” That was 45 years ago. I didn’t correct him. I wasn’t that mean. Probably mean enough these days, though.
Chicken strips - I remember hearing a few years ago about people putting used race tires on their street bikes, because after a pro wore the tires out, most the wear was where chicken strips should be. Don’t know if that’s true. I guess if you never rode in the rain…
For those who dont know, in the EU its law, your are age restricted to the cc size of the bike.

@@PSYCHOTICSMURF happy you're still with us. Glad you were wearing some gear. Heal up and keep spreading the atgatt message! Much love!
Idk what it is about your vids but I just subscribed and am binge watching your content. Spot on with this one 👍
me in the begining: im not going to relate to anything here
*first thing in the video*
me: fck, you got me right there (i bought a 2005 r6 at 19 and said the exact same think to my mom)
the result? i crashed, and broke my leg
soooo.... listen to yammie, dont be stupid like i was 2 years ago, inexperience will kill you if you dont take your time to learn
That’s why I waited around 6 months after getting my license to get an r6. And my first bike is a VTX1300
@@klm2fm4 no matter the bike you get, always take the time to evolve with 'her' , some bikes will push you to do things that you dont know how to handle! Ride Safe
Man what's with those R6s? A friend of mine crashed on literally his first ride with it, and he has been riding for 2 years
@@alexreitler it’s faster than a lot of people realize. Especially coming from regular, and even most modified cars, the R6 is significantly faster and requires more of you to work. This is coming from someone with a Miata set up for togue
@@alexreitler i think its not the r6 its most of the sport bikes, its easier to fall
I LOVED this video, thank you. Also, This may be the best sponsor segue ever.
Dont be ashamed for your little bike
:me riding a 125cc bike livin my life🤌
Me too boyyyyy
Sayme love my lil grom
@@chrisbarham5373 Grom literally translates to "fun" in some language...probably
Exactly Chippi, I loved all my bikes from 50 to 1000cc, all great fun.
I bought a bike this weekend and did my MSF course. I’m happy. If I learned 1 thing this weekend from the course that will help me at any point I’m happy.
I don't even recognize this YammieNoob. He's born-again for sure.
2:05 Says that going fast on the street is unsafe (and probably not the wisest choice) and simultaneously shows the perfect straight line to go 180mph without any problems
Nobody does Manscaped ads quite like Yammie. 😂
Angry cops has some good ones too
I’m number 5 been busting that line for nearly a year, finally actually signing the deal this evening
2008**
It was a 2008 R6.... and for the record - I never lied to my mum. When she said “Have fun, be safe.” I told her you can only have one.
It's so fun because people are just like this, most of them just want to grab attention. I recently was given a 50cc bike as a present, and even tho it's slow, i made a couple of adjustments so now keeps up with traffic and i love riding it, of course i know i will probably upgrade in the future but i don't care about it. I come from a Bmx riding background and i've seen so much of this aswell. I'm very glad that riding a bmx has tought me so much about being humble and getting to know that the ones that brag de most, usually are the ones that enjoy riding the less. Stay humble and enjoy what your ride/ drive and just try to get better at it, for yourself only, not for the others.
I'm still shocked at the performance that my 19 year old 225 dual sport has. I ot that bike with the intention of buying something else for the street but it's actually plenty fast for me. (It's my first road bike)
Started off on an dual sport. Switched to a rocket. Switched to a cruiser. Switched to a “plain” street bike. And now finally back to a dual sport again and will probably be here for awhile.
Started with a trail bike, got a small, old UJM/cruiser, then a larger, older UJM/cruiser, then that bike's big brother, then a much larger, slightly newer naked Japanese, then it's smaller brother, then that one's older brother. Now have a tiny UJM made in India. Have also had a Vespa Sprint along the way. Next will be a modern clubman.
People have laughed at a couple of my rides, their laughter merely proved they knew nothing.
I love how smooth he his transitioning to Manscaped advertising 🤣🤙🏼 Smooth as my....🥜
This video was right on! Been riding on and off road for 35 years and started out small then slowly worked my way up. Best way to go! I especially appreciated the part about liter bikes (and above in my case) not being all that great on the street. My ZX14R is actually boring on my favorite twisty roads I can literally stay in one gear for almost all of them and it takes some of the fun out of the ride. Seriously thinking about getting back to my roots with something like an MT07 or even a DRZ400SM. Favorite bike back in the day was the 88-92 Honda Hawk GT650.
Me too Chris, 30 years I’ve been riding, I had a 50,125,250,400,600,750 then litre. It’s a great way to gain experience working your way up.
Yam, i agree with most of the stuff EXCEPT for the fairy dust. Never underestimate fairy dust! You could springle that stuff on a Harley Davidson and it would actually become a really good bike!
okay maybe not.
Papa yammie, I scheduled my MSF course in 2 weeks and can’t wait to get my license, I’m going to turn 17 right before the weekend and glad I’m starting early
Id love to actually meet the people who say these things from yams lists. It would be awesome
I decided to join the America Legion Riders, so I took an ABATE training course, when I passed, I took the endorsement to the DMV. The ALR's said I needed a 750cc or bigger bike to join.
I got a Honda Goldwing fully dressed, it was a very powerful & comfortable touring bike, but it was too much bike to get back up, when it fell over while trying to turn around in a parking lot.
Next, I got a Honda Shadow VT750, cruiser it has good power, it's not as comfortable as the Goldwing on long rides, but I can handle it better in parking lots. I am very happy with it. Being water cooled & shaft driven works great for parades.
I’m fun noob. I don’t have time to talk to other people I’m busy slamming into minivans 💪
My first bike was an ‘82 Honda CM450. My dad told me I looked like Herman Munster riding it lol. Year later I upgraded to a CB900.
People always tell me drive safe before I leave and I’m always like “I will” knowing damn well I won’t 😂
Nothing like set of smooth Balls on a beautiful riding day!!!! Thanks Yammie Jammie!!
Got a Suzuki Savage ls650 it isn't anything impressive but I just love bobbers
Giday mate , big shout out from Australia recently got my bike license and being watching your content for a few months mate love it your references your no judgement chill attitude to help bikers everywhere Going to hopefully get my first road legal bike soon an thanks to you and your content I’m already a much better rider on my work bike so cheers mate, an if you could ever do a review on a Suzuki gsx650f I’d love it, cheers again an if I get the chance I’ll show you my work bike for a laugh but hey it gets the job done an is heaps of fun
Still kills me when they don't wave back
If they're on 2 wheels with an engine, I wave, most wave back.
@@charlesparr3296 the vespas trick me sometimes 🤣
@@rambofan1 Yeah they are kinda deceiving aren't they.
@@rambofan1 But I still wave. Lol!
I wave sometimes, but other times I want to keep both hands on the bars cause the wind is too much
you are wise, great job, dont stop.
Passed my test 2 years ago. Bought a litre bike. Ride like a prick. Still haven't fallen off🤣
YET!
@@MrMackAtack I ride within my capabilities. Only way I'm coming off is by getting hit. There are no cars where I ride so it's unlikely. Why, were you hoping?
@Michael Smith I live in the city. I ride in heavy traffic daily. Rush hour is insane. I just ride sensibly when it's not safe to go fast. Too many idiots on their phones, not looking when they pull out. The countryside is my playground. Its all about knowing the time and place. So I disagree sir. I'm always ready.
@Michael Smith 150mph plus on moorland roads says enough. 100mph plus in 30 zones occasionally. Form your own opinion. Most would say I ride like a prick. I'm far from a sensible rider, I just choose when and where. Stop trying to be an argumentative prick sir. It's unbecoming.
Did you watch the latest fortnine engine oil video?
That's what she said
@@slow2K2GT thats what she said
I was called dumb for starting on a 1200cc cruiser. Never looking back yo. I love being able to have power when I want it.
Yammie Noob: beginners trash other riders who don't ride the same way as them
Also Yammie Nub: People who ride twisties hard but never go to the track suck and are beginners
Not the argument being made, please grow a larger brain.
Literally the funniest thing I've ever heard subbed for life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I kinda have to disagree on the chicken strip point, yes it's good to have less lean angle on the street Yada Yada... BUT if you never have experienced higher lean angles then the chicken strip is not your margin for error, it's just your limit of how confident you are on a bike (with proper body positioning). you will not see a motorcycle rider magically gain the ability to use the previously unused part of their tire if they never used it before. Also the tire will wear unevenly making the transition onto the chicken strip less progressive as well as decreasing the contact patch. I'd say learn to use all of your tire safely at a safety course or on a track and then go out and see your chicken strips as margins for error.
Spent 4 years with my DRZ SM. It was great. Now scout life
I'll never get the whole "I'm upgrading next week" thing. I recently downgraded from a litre bike (for the exact reason Yammie described) to a Duke 790 and it's the best choice I ever made as a rider. Less power can be way more fun!
My "first" bike was a Nighthawk 450 but it hasn't run as long as Ive owned it. I'm learning on a Shadow 750 and plan on dailying that for a while 😁
How has it been?
@@djpollo2474 the Shadow is a heck of a bike. Easy to control, enough power for a beginner...
I’ve seen people with chicken strips after a full day of riding track. Some people can’t learn, either you have it, or you don’t. Also a majority of riders that don’t, ride really nice Ducati’s.
You need to have a good friend who knows how to ride to help you. Not even a track day will make someone a level 2a rider. Find a fast friend and follow them and learn and ask everything. Twist of the Wrist watch it.
Damn, Yammie burned me at #7 🤣 (even down to the 05 R6 purchased before I passed my test!)
