I actually have some to add to this for once. One day I was all chadded up on my Ducati with full race leathers on. And a kid was in her car seat with the window down. She was mesmerized by the bike and I gave her a fist bump. She was so excited to get some love from the power ranger on the red sport bike. I will never forget her face, one of my favorite moments on a bike.
I smiled when I saw this :)
Exactly. I always try to get the kids excited. A hand wave, a silly look, a controlled burst of speed, something.
I've been on a highway many times to have a small child starring at me while I'm doing 65 next to the cager. A small wave of the hand was all it took to get them excited. Or I'll rev, only on request by a kid in a parking lot or something.
When you ride a motorcycle people think you're a bad guy.
Kids, on the other hand, think your a good guy and wave to you.
It makes me wonder why this is.
I always get waves from kids at crosswalks. Totally makes my day. I'll see a kid with a bicycle, point to his/her helmet and say "cool helmet!" That usually gets a shy smile as a response. I'll see a kid staring at me on my bike in a parking lot and ask the parent if the kids wants to blip the throttle.
Yeah... same here.
I use to wave to kids in the cars or school buses that look to my bike, an old Nightster (very nice one).
Planting the seeds for a decent future :-)
"When was the last time you saw a motorcycle in front of a psychiatrist office?" Well yesterday when i rode my motorcycle to my appointment XD. But seriously, getting my license and my bike really helped me recover from some bad times!
One of my closest friends recently passed away in a motorcycle accident. His name was Diogo too. Ride safe man
I always ride to my appointments too! Ive definitely used my bike as a coping mechanism
totally! riding is helping me recover from depression, it has become a big deal in my life
That's the exact reason I've decided to get back on two wheels after 26 years. Riding was one of the few things available that helped my depression.
Hello Diogo S. Yeah a bike can really mellow someone out, think of how History
would have been if Hitler rode a SuzukiM90 around Germany, his woman Eva
Braun with her boobs pushed into Hitlers back, after riding all day, go to the
Hoffbrau pub and have a few pitchers of Germany's best beer, go to a hotel and
swap clothing with Eva and have some hot sex, I mean who could feel crummy
about that?
To be honest I don’t feel like I’m part of any community. I never talk to people about riding. I love riding but I like the freedom, independence, and accessibility to reach remote places. Lone Wolf.
When people say they are a lone wolf it is the cringiest shit ever.
Given that wolves live and hunt in packs I never really got that expression. 🤔
🙄
Yeah lots of assholes out there can't just have fun with their hobbies, they use it to define themselves and who they associate with, it's pathetic. Just because I like riding a bike on a nice day does not make me a "biker" and want to hang out with other "bikers" 24/7 to talk about bikes.
Big Green ARHWOOOOOOOO!!!
When you're out there on the road, be an ambassador for our people.
Well put!
OUR PEOPLE!
This is such a great way to think. We should be looking for opportunities to be awesome to our non-riding brethren.

I often argue with my mother about this after I started riding 3 years ago, about whether or not that guy on the bike is being an arse or not. An example. We were on the freeway following a guy on a bike (Ducati Monster), he downshifts to pass the car ahead.
Car was moving about lanes, generally being an inefficient driver. Bike was lound and my mother took offense, to why he was passing for no reason. (car in front was being a jack wagon) which on a bike could be dangerous as you all know.
We end up arguing about motorcycles, how safe, unsafe they are. How we have too many
unresponsible riders, and to be fair this guy was wearing his Nikes on the freeway.
Now of course mom won this argument, because you'll never win a battle with your mother...
gemini232003 LOL
gemini232003 and anniversaries! Don’t forget about those. They’ll never forgive you.
Look kids, the incels are trying to communicate with each other!
Because people are such bad drivers, they rarely understand why motorcyclists act the way they do. Stuff which car drivers do all the time is super dangerous for motorcyclists and they just don't understand, because they don't care. Then they get upset at the behaviour they've caused... You see it a lot sadly, although some riders aren't considerate of others too.
@gemini232003 Oh yes, the only thing we understand is sales and anniversaries. I can see that the only thing you understand is cheetos and your hand.
Considering I rev bombed my high school a while back, I get it..
You and me both brother
I wheelied past it on my dirt bike in the dead of Canadian winter my fellow degenerate, rock on
A friend of mine and his friend did two "glory laps" around the school yard on the last day when everyone was taking pictures of each other. That was fun
Ive got a grom so no one even considers it a motorcycle or takes me seriously
Lmao
The Grom is one of my favorite motorcycles to ride around the city! I ride it around the city more than my Ducati Panigale V4 or the Victory Kingpin. What matters is how you feel when you are having fun and riding.
I think legally, it's considered a motorcycle, but it doesn't have the power to hit highway speeds. Why not upgrade to something more capable? At least get something with 300 CC so you can hit highway speeds so people would at least take you more seriously?
@@joemann7971 ooh i love my grom, its not a highway flyer but its definitely a ton of fun. Wouldn't trade my grom for anything. I will get another bike, but the grom will probably always be the most fun thing ive rode. The grom is what it is, youve got to know that when your buying one. I dont take myself seriously when i hop on it and i love it.
@@smallbobcat08o.g.47 You don't need to get rid of your Grom. You could have multiple bikes. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting a Grom just to goof around.
“Gas station Ads annoying” I agree with you on that 100%.

another reason: most of mc gear isnt designed to be washed frequently .... we stink ;P
Timothy Nguyen yeah, I got some seriously dirty looks when I walked into a Hilton in Spokane covered in dead bugs and 18 hours of road grease and heat (crossed part of North Dakota, the entire state of Montana and the top of Idaho in a day). I smelled like BO and a bait shop. I didn’t even get out of my gear, I hopped in the shower and just stripped off whatever was finally rinsed enough to call good as I went. My gloves were sticky with bug guts for a week after that trip, despite my best efforts. X-/
@@DrTranofEvil before you wash it. put it in vinegar and don't use fabric softener when you get to washing it

The new incredibles movie the mom be hittin some crazy nooners and twisties on a naked 1000
I don't think it's a liter bike, maybe it's the performance equivalent of such, but Elastagirl's bike in the movie was specifically described as being electric.
You're 100% right in this video Yammie. There are behaviors that paint us in a bad light. Some of it is perception and media bias, some of it is legitimate actions by riders. I"m quickly getting over the crazy street riding and idiotic decisions on liters. Lucky to never be hurt, but damn, it just gets to be a tired world of constant posturing, and it's tiring. Just want to enjoy riding, the experience, that's all.
R. Matthews This is an awesome comment, man
It’s funny. Being profiled throughout the 70s, 80s and part of the 90s for riding Harleys and being a “biker”. I though crotch rocket guys gave motorcyclist a bad name. Ive since learned that we ALL can give motorcyclists a bad name. The word “ biker” has been so over defined, and scrutinized that now I just say I’m an “ Old Fat Bald Guy w/Cane” on a bike!
Great monologue Yam Master!
That's the thing, as the Yam pointed out, they remember the bad examples because the bad examples stood out.
People bitch about bikes passing them on the road, "they came out of nowhere"... dude, we've been behind you for miles! Check your damned mirrors! (Which is why I've mounted headlamp modulators or bright LED's on every bike I've owned).
Really enjoy the classic moto vlog with a positive message 👍🏻

Glad you like. Love you channel man. I'm the bike less bro at this point. I'm back and forth between G310R and R3. Sometimes I think, why not do like the yamster and just get both?
@@joseph-ow1hf as someone who bought his first bike 2 years ago (sv650 of course), I wouldn't recommend getting 2 bikes so similar in style and power. You might be bored after a year or two and know better what really fits you then.

I don't hate bikers... When I am driving in my truck I actually smile and wave at them when I see them and make sure to give them as much space as possible. I admire bikers since I'm saving up to buy one.
This is an amazing video. Chill, slow talking, and relaxing. I'm pumped you're riding my next bike! Well, almost. Mine will be a 300. But that's all I can handle at the moment. Great video!
I am a Texan and a rider. I have lived abroad for years now. As far as I can guess if I moved back home I would be the outlaw just for doing things thats normal around the world.
Everyone in every culture will hotrod and exploit their vehicle if they have the personality to do that.
So I have seen it in many places and with many vehicles, actually bicycles in most places.
The problem is the US, especially Texas, is super car centric.
If a bike does anything that the steel box cant do its wrong. They get mad and argue that it is against the law, I did as well.
Some do look at it as criminal, but for me and many, we were mostly just jealous we had to sit in traffic and they could slide by, like cutting in line.
Dumb stunts on the street are one thing, but for me and those i knew what we were mad at was the things we couldn't do
I'm also in Texas, and 90% of sportbikes here do dumb shit. They cut between cars with a foot to spare. They ride around on shoulders. And worst of all, they speed so fast, when you look to change lanes, they aren't there one second and there in your blind spot the next.

My parents tried to keep me away from motorcycles. At 16 (I live in Germany), I was not allowed to make the license. At 18, neither. Well, I took it for what it was. When I met my husband, he showed up for our second rendez-vous with his XT 350 (at least it looked like a motorcycle) in full gear. My parents were shocked (haha). I have to admit this made me love him even more. When we were married, he took me to driving school, and half a year later I bought my first motorcycle. Well, I always did what I really wanted. Next year our daughter will start (at 16 with a 125 cc). We explained to her that driving a motorcycle is just dangerous, and that she should always be aware of that. Otherwise, we are looking forward to her getting her license and first bike.
Hey Yam, love the channel. This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. I have always taken the approach of being an ambassador to the sport of motorcycling. I want people to view us as responsible citizens. We’re moms, dads, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who love going from point A to point B, on two wheels. I have had a few close calls with wreck less individuals while I was in my car. Passing on the right, splitting lanes, (I live in NY, it’s illegal here) flying passed me, inches away, at triple digit speeds! Those behaviors do not instill us into the hearts and minds of Joe & Joan Lunch Bucket! Complying with the rules of the road, being courteous, being respectful. Setting the proper example that allows the four wheel public to see us in a much more positive light. One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. Let’s all do our part while we’re out there doing what we love. Your behavior and example might just bring a new enthusiast into the sport. Thanks Yam! Great topic!

They hate us cuz they ain't us. 🤣
Immediately post WWII 1945 to 1950s in the UK motorcycles where the most affordable form of personal motorised transport for everyone. Cars were expensive. So lots of "normies" would have a bike, for transport. They still had a bit of an "oily" image.
However in the UK by the 1960s cars had become affordable for the masses. As I understand it for our USA cousins, cars became affordable somewhere in the 1950s.
By the mid 1960s in the UK anyone who really wanted a car quite often had one. The motorcycle became the preserve of those who like the element of danger. This coincided with the rise of the "teenager" and "youth rebellion". Marlon Brando didn't do bikes any favours with his "Wild One" film. In the UK we got the "cafe racers".
Bikes have always had a bit of a dangerous image, for obvious reasons, and all of us who ride must at least like the increase in danger, even if we're doing road legal speeds.
One of my car driver friends who I've known for decades, since we were 7 year olds at school, really tried to talk me out of getting a motorcycle. He hates motorcycles.
I think the current "normies" attitude to bikes, is well bikers are all a bit bonkers for wanting to do it. Motorcycle racers are looked on as clinically insane ( possibly a bit of truth to that ).
Some car drivers don't like bikers filtering.
Why does motorcycling have a bad image ? it really is a combination of factors.
Anyway, I don't care. I love riding my motorcycles !
Black Widow and Captian America ride in the movies.
Tippcraft 98 also bruce wayne in the dark knight or jason stathams character in the expendables
Only problem is all except captain America are "badass" image
@@benmiller6599 explain, I dont see what you mean. Capt used his bikes to go over and past everything from a Nazi Barricade to a Helijet, Black Widow was honestly used as a Harley promotion. She showed off the Livewire and honestly that scene in Ultron seemed like it was just a commercial, Batman is the only one on a fake motorcycle. The ducati Jason had and the custom chopper that Sylvester had were the only ones used as a prop that wasnt the focus of the scene. And I'm not trying to fight you, this is just my POV and I'd love to see yours.
@@benmiller6599 dont get me wrong though I ride myself and love seeing the motorcycles though
@@Pheonixcrafter007 He means everyone except Cap perfectly fits the stereotype of a degenerate bike rider because they sit outside the image of a clean cut normie for various reasons
Been watching you for like 6 months and just realised I haven't subbed yet haha just got a 2019 ninja 400 abs today!
I'm a Harley guy, but a ninja 400 is on my short list of next bikes to get. It just looks like a lot of fun. Congratulations!
It’s my main source of transportation in the spring, summer, and fall
Am I the only one that laughed at dude’s sick apex
was hoping someone would notice :)
i noticed and that had me dead
I think poor knowledge is a big attribute to the hate against bikes. I've noticed, when a regular person meets a car guy, there's a concrete level of understanding. Like the parts, the safety appeal, and how cars are just more appealing to the Majority.
While I think talking about it like this is a fantastic way to show the rest of the world that we aren't what the majority thinks we are, I think we're always going to be at a disadvantage because there's always going to be those people that call us "people with a deathwish" or "adrenaline junkies" or any of that shit, Which is such a shame because I've always taken the time to inform "normies" about what bikes are really all about.
Some of us out here only ride and don't own a car, just saying. A motorcycle can be a toy as well as a serious mode of transportation.. it's a commitment and rain gear is expensive but we are out here living our lives
I agree, motorcycles are considered daily transportation in all Non-western countries, which is the majority of the world. It's such a joke that the very people who are trying to shove global warming down our throats are the same ones who haul their fat asses around on ZX14's just for the fuck of it, going from burger joint to burger joint. Needless to say, I choose to keep to myself; I don't associate myself with motorcyclists.
When i get it it'll be my secondary source of transportation. People are just not smart😒😒😒.
I finally bought one of these, 2019 CB650R. My first motorcycle was a Honda, after years of Harleys and Ducatis.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda!
I think people are honestly jealous that we are having fun and they just don’t understand it or can’t understand. They don’t understand the rush, the community, the therapy, the danger and just think it’s being stupid.
"Glorified toys"...apparently yammie wants to fight me.. Lol
After months of watching motorcycle videos on the internet, I finally got my first bike!
Its a tiny cc sportbike..with only 25HP..a KTM RC 200.
But where Im from its more than enough (Im from the PH) and I love it a lot!
I love the attitude and swag that comes with being a motorcyclist. I love answering questions in the check out line because I’m carrying a helmet. I love pulling up at a red light and seeing the little kid pointing out how cool my motorcycle is, I get it, I’ve been there, always wanted a motorcycle, now I get to be that image. I’m guilty of not always being a “proper” motorcyclist but I will say, there is nothing more relaxing and therapeutic than tearing through gears and enjoying the wind in your face(vents). Wear your gear!!!
i really enjoy the uncut footage of the riding with talking over it, u should make more of these kinds of videos, very therapeutic
Awesome video on my birthday. Thanks 😼👍🏼

I try to give a good impression on the road. If a car moves over to let me pass I give them a thumbs up. small act but stick's in their heads
Doing the speed limit with that bike on a long open road like that is taboo
yah well... cop at the beginning, cross traffic all over the place, this was filmed in Austin after all....

I live In finland. Here the stereotypes are either a 15yo with 50cc supermoto doing wheelies like it's nobodys business, or a normal sensible adult who owns a motorcycle.
The 15yo squids get all the hate, but most of them don't even know how to wheelie and ride pretty safe. The stereotype says they are the antagonists, the rebels, the spoiled "daddys wallet" kids and the hooligans. There is this culture of making "ykä" videos. The videos always include a group or a lone rider and old people complaining or yelling at them.
At least on TH-cam, way too many riders act like the road is theirs
I live in Montreal, Canada, I'm only able to ride April-October. When spring hits and I'm on the road, I believe people get frustrated seeing my winter dormant machine on the road. I'm not into speed, and never cut people off, but the acceleration benefits of a bike really pisses off some drivers.
Same. I'm in Alaska so riding season is short. I agree our ability to move seems to irritate people regardless of how soft we take it. Even small displacement riders seem to get dirty looks.
My other issue is the "Carbon footprint" section, electric cars and bikes simply do not function well or are not an option for everywhere. Electric and hybrid electric cars have a very hard time in our -30° (often colder)temps, as much as I would love to ride most the year, Im not a big fan of frostbite 😂

Don't you even try lecture me on riding in cold weather. I have been riding a bike in -13°F (-25°C) doing my job.
If you want someone to teach you somethings you don't know noting about. Don't call them a idiot or stupid.
You can just fuck off… bitch…
Batman did some pretty dank stuff on two wheels.
If your worried about what other people think your already in trouble , show respect you will get respect , very simple
Several people I know: I kinda want to get a bike but I dont really know what to get, I dont want a crotch rocket.
Me: a bike similar to mine gives a really easy and comfortable position to ride, puts you over the bars so you feel in control. >shows them my fz07<
Them: I dont want a crotch rocket.
But.... 😩 never mind.
so this video was shot before putting the aftermarket exhaust on ninja .
Regarding the loud ads at gas station pumps: they usually have a mute button, but they're unlabeled. Just press each button of those buttons on the sides of the screen, and eventually you'll find it.
I've been riding for almost 30 years and I have no idea what a "dank nooner" is......
12 o'clock wheelie. That mythical one-wheeled maneuver where you 'almost' fall off on your ass.

Quoting a known drug addict might not be your best strategy my dude
Ben, might want to learn a bit more about Ms Jett
If I can imagine any chick in the world being in a bike gang it would be Joan Jett😂
avengers: captain America and black widow rode a motorcycle.
i know right.. basically. if a movie needs to make a guy look cool.. Have him ride a bike.

As a trucker that has driven 2.7 million miles in 18+ wheel cages, I can relate to having to work much harder to keep a good image.
Those movie bad guys are why I liked motorcycles lol
Tom cruise: “Am I a joke to you?”
There's a gas station near my house that has a word of the day on the pumps. Love it.
John wick drives a motorcycle
When I ride to work, people are excited for me. Dudes (and gal's) I don't even know are nice with comments like, "So jealous, that had to have been an awesome ride in" etc.
It is very easy not to be an asshole, it also helps that co-workers tell me I have this glow when I get to the office. It disappears only to reappear when I grab my gear to leave. I guess I just come across as just loving to ride, which helps sell the, "nice guy just enjoying life".
Edit: as a dad I get a kick out of kids in the car next to me giving me the rev sign. Quick easy rev and you've made the kids day with a finishing thumbs up to them. My son loves it too and likes it when timing works out and he and his mom (wife) are able to follow me the last couple miles to home.
Will Yammie noob become Yammie Boomer after he becomes a father?
I think this is my favorite type of video. Just uncut, riding and speaking the mind. It's cool and simple
This was recommended to me right after a mongols me documentary I was watching, thank you TH-cam gods
I'm a nerd who just bought a Vulcan S :)
Pretty sick looking bike. How are you liking it? I shopped it against the Bolt before I got the Bolt.
Hmmm.. Interesting.. "giving them away for free...every dollar you spend gets you an entry to win."
A lady completely FLIPPED. OUT. on me yesterday because I lane split into the front of a red light. Now, I only do this in very safe situations. In this case, I wouldn't even call it lane splitting because she was the ONLY car at the light. I went around using the one turn lane and got in front of her with plentyyyy of room. In no way at all did I affect her safety, time getting to destination, I didn't do wheelies. But she honked, kept getting on my ass going 60!! (I'm on an r3, so she didn't have a hard time catching up when I wasn't accelerating.) We got to the next light and she was honking and yelling, going absolutely nuts. I just don't understand that kind of thing. Sometimes I think they should include the fact that a biker being in front is SAFER and doesn't affect you in ANY way at a red light. I did yell back one sentence, flipped her off. I should not have done that. I do kind of think I should have just sat there in front of her crazy ass while the next light turned green. But, no reaction is much more ideal. I guess I just don't get it, with people like that. There was no reason to be mad. Oh well
I live in Cambodia. Every time people see me riding my Z1000 with Akrapovic full system to work, they think "Eww, a ganster! Get away from him." I like the get away part tho. LOL
They hate us because they don't have the balls to saddle up basically Mama's boys who never grew up. In the perfect world I believe everyone should at least try riding once it will change your life.
Hate us cause they ain’t us
Is that CB 650 going to need new tires by the time you give it away?
Usually the second button from the top on the right side is mute for the gas station ads.
Hey yanmie the buttons surrounding the gas station pump screens usually include a unlabeled mute button give them a push and it’ll shut up those gas station advertisements
