That’s actually genius. Today I got into the freeway and realized my jacket pocket with my money in it was unzipped! It took me a good minute to get the zipper up mainly because I couldn’t find it or get a good enough grip on it with my gloves on!
Also, been using toothpaste as an anti-fog for my scuba and moto gear for decades. Never tried H&S shampoo but toothpaste works amazing and doesn't seem to be brand-specific which is nice 'cause you can use whatever you've got laying around. Great tip on anti-fogging the lens though... definitely a must in cooler temps!
I wouldn't use that on plastic lenses. We use Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo. It seems to work well, it's gentle on the eyes, and won't scratch up the plastic. The one downside is that the film it leaves can cause glare from oncoming car lights at night.
True, I rode in the Philippines and the afternoon thunder showers wore fun, Year later northern Japan south to Tokyo. I had adventure gear on, temperature 60F and I assume the water repellant I sprayed twice on gear would work. Water repellant said great for camping or riding in rain. It may have worked walking in rain but riding 70mph at 60F seriously froze me to edge of hyperthermia. SOAKED 150 miles into trip I couldn't take it anymore and parked bike near train station. And took bullet train to Tokyo.
Hey, Ryan, you got the surgical gloves thing backwards. I've been doing the waterproof glove thing for years but put them on the outside. All you need is extra large gloves. Cool thing is when I speed out the other side of that thundering rain cloud to blue sky's I take them off and Boom, dry gloves still. I keep them inside the top of my helmet under the padding for quick access. Brilliant.
My gloves are already XL. NO WAY a XXL surgical glove (if they even make them) would fit over my thick gloves let alone last 5 mins of clutch/brake use IMO. Cheers!
i can see you now, riding along, zip lock flapping, hands frozen (although technically dry), squinting through the fog, to get some more shampoo and hair ties.
This was the first video I watched of Ryan and was instantly blown away by his way of explaining things. I've been a subscriber since. 👍 good job and keep up the good work, your channel has more than doubled since I subscribed
Dude, just wear the rubber mechanic gloves OVER your leather gloves. The leather stays dry (stitching will last longer), won't be any hotter, and the rubber will enhance the grip on the bars.
some sensors are triggered by my Honda Grom, other ones aren't triggered by my Geo Metro...... I doubt that adding magnets to an already ferromagnetic motorcycle will help as much as he claims
The reason that it would help is because sometimes the sensors aren't calibrated to pick up motorcycles. So having that extra magnetism will help to be noticed by the sensor.
tinyman520 not necessarily. There are times when my friend and I will be out riding (Fz07 and SV650) and both of our bikes together still won't trigger it.
hehe try to do that in France and you will receive a very expensive ticket within two weeks. Almost all traffic lights are equipped with flash cameras - even on tiny roads. So here you can get pretty much stuck for long...
Spoke to a civil engineer who works on those magnetic sensors... He suggested shutting off the engine and starting it again to trigger the sensor loop. There's more electromagnetic flux in the starter motor than any fridge magnets you're liable to keep on your skid plate... You're welcome. ;o)
@@yetrotagabundok3756 OR whenever next I get "stuck" at a light... I usually re-route a ride to avoid "the bad lights" including the ones that just take too long for my liking to "flip"... BUT whenever next I do get stuck, yeah... we'll try ALL the "pro tips" to get out of that situation without getting killed... AND three cycles of the light be damned, running a red sounds a little more like a death-wish around here. People don't pay attention for SH*T! ;o)
Better than mechanic's gloves are the plastic, oversized gloves you get at diesel pumps at some gas stations. Whenever I see them, I take a few and put them in my trunk. When it rains, I slide them over my gloves, problem solved.
Hate to say it but sometimes it leaves you no choice but to run them. I didn't think about the pedestrian button...but not all lights are equip with them
Purchased a motor cycle security keyed lock on ebay cheap price. Lock attaches through one of the slots/holes in your front brake disc/rotor. Has a high viz fluro yellow coiled string attached to lock, other end can be stretched & attached to your handle bar end near brake or clutch lever. Lock has an inbuilt motion detector/siren that activates if bike is moved whilst secured. Fluro yellow string really catches your eye when you approach from the front, sides or grab your handle bar, by that time the siren has activated. Cheers from 🇦🇺
Thanks for the magnet traffic light mod! I have three sensor lights between my house and the freeway which I used to sit at for 5-10 min @ 0545. This takes time off my commute and I already had the magnets on my fridge.
"Magnetic" traffic light sensors actually work on the vehicle's magnetic *permeability* changing the INDUCTANCE of the coil of wire imbedded in the road. A permanent magnet - no matter how strong - will NOT do that.. so .. (retired Electrical Engineer here)
Good tips! I've been using the glove trick, for years, when I work outside in the winter. I can get by with thinner gloves that way. I always keep a pair in my tank bag, with my 'frog togs', as a minimal rain gear set.
I not sure the magnet thing really works. I had magnets on my old bike and they NEVER triggered the lights. I even bought one that was supposed to trigger lights... Not so much. Love all your hacks, but I think the magnet one is sort of wishful thinking...
Get XXL latex(or nitrile) gloves and put them on OVER a fleece glove and you've got an excellent temporary waterproof and warm glove. If you put 'em on over moto gloves just be sure to not tear them going on and make sure the latex isn't overstretched in areas that will cause it to tear when you move your hand.
#2 : Rain proofing also comes with a bit heat resistance. If your gloves get wet in cold rain, your hands will get much colder. Getting wet on a a bike where you recieve constant wind is not a good idea. Not for hands, never for anywhere else...
Never ever use paper towels to polish your visor. It looks and feels soft, but it will introduce minute scratches to your visor. Always use a piece of cloth..
Or just run the light. Every time I've been pulled over for it, cops and maybe go back and sit at the light to prove it won't change. Which yes is an annoyance but it gives you that satisfaction of "see I told you so" on a cop. Probably should include look out for cross traffic.
Ryan, love the magnet on the bottom of the bike idea, very inventive! However.... be careful where you place strong magnets near where oil flows, as it can attract and hold any metals the engine is shedding (assuming components are ferrous) in the wtong spot - anywhere that is not the oil filter. Keep up the awesome vidoes, getting into a really watchable and professional groove!
Isn’t that why the OEM drain plugs are usually magnetized. To capture any ferrous shavings at the lowest point and before they have a chance to enter the oil filter?
instead of the mecanic gloves... sometimes you get these toilet cleaning gloves in ridiculus sizes so you can fit a normal pair of motorcycle gloves underneath them:)
Brother, in India we have a brand namely MT. Some of their helmets are Sharp 4 star rated but they are not different from other model. This may be to raise the price of model. Same helmets having different patterns. One is rated another is not. Please see MT helmets and review it with your expertise. The largest distributor of MT helmets in India is Spartanprogear and their distributors. It also very conspiring that they don't sell through Amazon also. Please check and review how they are inferior/superior to HJC, Bell, Scorpion, Airoh, AGV, Shoei etc. Regards Karan
Not clear on the glove liner you used, but the latex things I wear to clean chains, change oil etc do not breath. On a hot day, my hands are drenched in sweat...but clean. The stoplight sensor is looking for ferrous metal. Many of our bikes now have aluminum frames, making them invisible to the sensors. Our kickstands are still made of steel though. I always just kick mine down in the loop sensor. So far, so good. I like the parking brake trick, but still prefer a proper tank bag. Though if money were tight, that Ziplock would do in a pinch.
I Like the hair band for locking the front brake, but just had a thought. Those wrist bands for endorsing someone or cause, would they work better???? More visible and maybe more reliable (??). Another time to use it would be when plugged in and charging the battery. More than once I have started to leave the garage while attached. I can't test this now, but in a few weeks I will be reunited with my '03 Kawa Voyager and will check it out (over 3k miles away right now).
Some terrible advice here, if head and shoulders shampoo works on visors then why not cut out the middle man and coat our eyeballs. Sounds reasonable, or so I thought. Not only is the 5 minute wait irritating but the buffing out with a clean cloth is almost unbearable. However on a more positive note my vision is coming back and my doctor thinks I should make a full recovery.
Sorry, but from my perspective you messed up early on, using paper towels on the face mask. Someone should have told you long ago that 'all cotton' is what one uses on such things, especially plastic ones. Surely any hand soap with also do the job.
I know this is an old video but the latex gloves under non waterproof gloves is just pointless, sure your hands don’t get wet from the rain but you’ll have a wet glove sat against them and they’re not insulating anything, you still have ice cold hands…
Talking about magnets. If your motor bike as one of those oil filter cartridge style ones. You know the ones there black normally and screw on to your motor bike engine. If you place a magnet on to it somewhere it helps to take any small metal materials out of the engine. So when you next do your oil change simply take it off and place it on your new oil filter. There's also a small magnet on your drain sump plug as well. Which does the same job.
What about oversized rubber gloves over your regular gloves, then a rubber band around the wrist to keep water out there? I haven't tried this, but it seems like it'd provide better insulation than rubber gloves under fabric gloves.
These were great. I know you are a nice guy but...I don't know if it's your face or if it's your accent but you seem so damn smug! I know you aren't but every time I watch one of your videos i think about it lol Great content! Keep it up!

I use Rain-X windshield wiper fluid on both sides of the face shield. Works wonders. I'll be looking for some magnets for the street light sensors!!! Great idea!
+Rob Low not the Rain-X you have to wipe on and off like wax, the Rain-X debug windshield wiper fluid. The former will make the plastic face shield crack and specifically says not to use on plastic, where the latter is perfectly fine for both and won't harm your paint.
+Rob Low the Rain-X that you use like wax is highly concentrated and will de-laminate the plastic which makes it brittle, whereas the windshield wiper fluid is very diluted and is perfectly fine.
+Michael Sparks Rain-X now makes a formula for motorcycle plastics. I got caught in the rain last month and stopped by a local store to grab something that would help. It worked pretty well for me.
Much appreciated with the anti-fog tip. I use a pinlock myself, which is great, but that doesn't stop my internal sun visor from fogging up so I'm gonna try this out on it. Thanks again!
Use car wax... turtle wax, mothers wax, carnuba wax, etc... It works just as good and lasts much longer. Same process.. coat, dry buff and you're good to go!
luckless cope much much less than toothpaste or dandruff shampoo.. I've used turtle wax for years and never had a problem.. on many different manufacturers helmets as well..
being stuck at a set of lights is so frustrating. One set of lights a few years ago was so bad I could sit there all day and not get a green until a car pulled up an inch or two behind me. The one time I ran it after waiting for 8 light cycles a cop was coming down the road and he came after me! We went back to the lights and I physically showed him the problem and got out of a ticket.
I would like to point out that rainx makes a product, actually meant for car windows, but I'm pretty sure it will work on you visor, I haven't tried it yet I keep forgetting to buy a bottle but I do know it works on car window, that will also stop fogging, and at $4 it cost about the same or less than a bottle of dandruff shampoo.
Another good hack for motorcycles is if you go and get a coffee from the coffee shop, get a drink tray and you can put the drink tray in your side case and it will hold your coffee until you get to where your going.
I've used the second "hack" for quite some time now lol. BUT not for the purpose of a rain protector like you used it for. I use them just to keep warm on those extra cold nights riding home. Put them on then my gloves over those my hands stay nice and warm. Works great!
How about a surefire way to get rid of scratches in your visor? Seems that everywhere I go there is no stock for replacement visors for my helmet, because it's discontinued, despite the date code still being good.
A decent polishing compound and elbow grease can get the job done. *Sometimes*. Today's cheaper visors can't be polished at all, unfortunately. Let me know if you find something that works! ~RyanF9
Ryan - awesome vid. Give me a shout when you're down in T-DOT. I'd like you to meet my motorcycle extended family - all 200 of'em from Twisted Throttle Sportbike Riders haha!
Never happened to me, but it's possible. I keep tape in my riding kit - that's always useful for making a tight seal and taping down any flappy bits that could catch the wind. At least if it all goes wrong, you only lose a plastic bag! ~RyanF9
Electromagnetic field produced by a magnet to trip a light signal? I guess you dont know this is done by weight on the pressure plate in the ground or by a camera that’s attached to the light. Your tank scratching waste of time video can get off the internet now.
Not true, *some* are triggered by weight, some are triggered by imaging. The weight trigger is cumbersome and costly. But Hall sensor (EMI detection) is primarily what is used in newer roadways. Though as far as I know the imaging camera (light/UV detection) has it's own issues as well during the day for obvious reasons. But I agree that the magnet thing is likely BS does to the amount of generated field needed to trigger a change likely wouldn't allow those little magnets to work properly.
reminder cable 1$ on amazon! , map/phone bag(magnetic)10$(even less on amazon or try ebay) and the rubber gloves inside the gloves?!? have you actually used them? have fun with dripping wet sweaty hands inside your wet gloves.....
For the last step. You can just put your bike in first gear, move it all the way forward to remove the slack. Then put the kickstand. Since the kickstand can only move off from forward motion. :-)
great ideas! very glad I came across your channel. you are not full of yourself like many other motovloggers. plus I only trust skinny armed people.... we rule lol.... really we do
here's a cheap tip: You know those metalic key ring hoops? Put them on your zippers. Voila, you can now unzip while you have your gloves on :)
WWXXYY XXXWWYY his will be on the tank.
That’s actually genius. Today I got into the freeway and realized my jacket pocket with my money in it was unzipped! It took me a good minute to get the zipper up mainly because I couldn’t find it or get a good enough grip on it with my gloves on!
On my pants zipper
I highly suggest a tank saver if you do this. Or better, use a zip tie that wont scratch the paint.
Excellent idea !!!

@@eck0hcobra15 Stay safe scuba bro!
wouldn't that possibly scratch the plastic with all the little micro grains?
I wouldn't use that on plastic lenses. We use Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo. It seems to work well, it's gentle on the eyes, and won't scratch up the plastic. The one downside is that the film it leaves can cause glare from oncoming car lights at night.
Please, do not used dry paper towels (or other cellulose containing stuff) on your visor, you'll have it scratched.
Ur right use a micro fibre towel instead
I just made the same comment. Paper is wood based. This is why they never use it even for chrome polishing for example.
To add on to the bag hack, use freezer ziplocks. They tend to be thicker
#2, lol. your hands sweat like crazy with rubber gloves so why not just enjoy the rain bath, it works for me :-)
I ride in rain quite a bit... no gloves only t shirt jeans and shoes. As long as I'm headed home it is so refreshing. I get a huge adrenalin rush!
ha, ha, yep!
True, I rode in the Philippines and the afternoon thunder showers wore fun, Year later northern Japan south to Tokyo.

Ride something bigger than 250cc and you won't have that problem

+tinyman520 some of them aren't triggered by my car (Geo Metro, ≈1750 lbs)
I use a velcro strap to lock my front brake, more secure & great for parking on a downhill too.
If the light won't turn I usually look 2 or 3 times and then run the fuckin thing. It's kind of exhilarating actually hahah.
SharkGlide17 yeah if you're in a small town that knows about bikes, the cops wont even bother you if there was no oncoming traffic
I believe the law is (at least in my state) is that if it doesn’t change for three minutes, and it’s safe to go, you can run it.
Pharaoh Skylar this is true in New Hampshire also^
hehe try to do that in France and you will receive a very expensive ticket within two weeks. Almost all traffic lights are equipped with flash cameras - even on tiny roads. So here you can get pretty much stuck for long...

Same here i can only force myself to watch him once
I don't notice an accent. Is he Canadian?
2:14 Someone please help! I see it HS shampoo but... Djander, gander, jander shampoo?? I'm not a native speaker, I really can't get what he's talking.
"Dandruff " are the little flakes of skin that fall off . so dandruff or more appropriately ANTI dandruff shampoo.
Aha, thank you my man.
What's your "hack" for removing scratches from you shield after using a paper towel on your shield? Nice Tips.
Doogie G make sure the shield’s clean before you put any physical force into it, common sense. It’s not anyone else’s fault that you’re a nimrod.
@@rexroeder6617 amen
sensors in traffic light, jajajaja one universe of distance... here barely wornks....
Great stuff man. Been following you for awhile now. Really nice to see your channel growing.
Me when the head & shoulders hack worked

Well done. I scuba dive and we use baby shampoo in our masks to prevent fogging so I think that might also work.
Those little magnets aren't going to trigger the red light. Need a much stronger magnet like a neodymium one. FYI.
I use Rain-X windshield wiper fluid on both sides of the face shield. Works wonders.
I'll be looking for some magnets for the street light sensors!!! Great idea!
Rain-x shouldn't be used on anything except glass - it'll make your plastic visor brittle over time
+Rob Low not the Rain-X you have to wipe on and off like wax, the Rain-X debug windshield wiper fluid. The former will make the plastic face shield crack and specifically says not to use on plastic, where the latter is perfectly fine for both and won't harm your paint.
+Rob Low the Rain-X that you use like wax is highly concentrated and will de-laminate the plastic which makes it brittle, whereas the windshield wiper fluid is very diluted and is perfectly fine.
+Michael Sparks oh I didn't know that, thanks
+Michael Sparks Rain-X now makes a formula for motorcycle plastics. I got caught in the rain last month and stopped by a local store to grab something that would help. It worked pretty well for me.
Hair elastic to hold your brake on, on a ferry? Why don't you just leave the bike in gear?
astronauts use baby shampoo tear free on their visors in space. tru story
My bike has a plastic tank, too high for the magnets and I have no dandruff :(
Much appreciated with the anti-fog tip. I use a pinlock myself, which is great, but that doesn't stop my internal sun visor from fogging up so I'm gonna try this out on it. Thanks again!
Use car wax... turtle wax, mothers wax, carnuba wax, etc... It works just as good and lasts much longer. Same process.. coat, dry buff and you're good to go!
enemy4 2day Won't car wax scratch the plastic?
luckless cope much much less than toothpaste or dandruff shampoo.. I've used turtle wax for years and never had a problem.. on many different manufacturers helmets as well..
I use a pinlock myself, doesn't stop my glasses from fogging up!
I think we need Mythbusters on that magnet triggering traffic light thingy.
There has never been any reliable proof that magnets, no matter how strong, will affect traffic lights in any way.
☣droid☣ looks like the magnet have much power to disturb😂
being stuck at a set of lights is so frustrating. One set of lights a few years ago was so bad I could sit there all day and not get a green until a car pulled up an inch or two behind me. The one time I ran it after waiting for 8 light cycles a cop was coming down the road and he came after me! We went back to the lights and I physically showed him the problem and got out of a ticket.
I would like to point out that rainx makes a product, actually meant for car windows, but I'm pretty sure it will work on you visor, I haven't tried it yet I keep forgetting to buy a bottle but I do know it works on car window, that will also stop fogging, and at $4 it cost about the same or less than a bottle of dandruff shampoo.
Does it work as shampoo?
Kevin Weil would it actually work??
CANDYSKATER I bought it and put it on my helmet. It seemed to work for me.
Ammonia will damage plastic. Careful.
I would be worried about a neodymium magnet wipping my electronics data.
Does the shampoo trick work with tinted visors as well?
Yep. ~RF9
Thank you and love your videos, keep em up
A mouths a mouth...
Bro, you come across as very intelligent! Are you a physics or chemistry major? lol seriously! lol
those were actually good life hacks thanks!
Another good hack for motorcycles is if you go and get a coffee from the coffee shop, get a drink tray and you can put the drink tray in your side case and it will hold your coffee until you get to where your going.
This is a great idea for videos, I would love to see more of these types of videos. Keep up the great work there in Canada!
1:55 shaving cream also works btw (if u have no dandruff shampoo)
Do the magnets need to be a certain strength??
The stronger the better. ~RyanF9
thanks bud great video
i cant tell if hes serious on any of these.
has anyone ever seen a face shield fog up on the outside?
It repels the rain drops on outside
No. That's the thing about fogging windows. It only happens on the inside where there is higher humidity from breath.
Most these are bullshit useless
I've used the second "hack" for quite some time now lol. BUT not for the purpose of a rain protector like you used it for. I use them just to keep warm on those extra cold nights riding home. Put them on then my gloves over those my hands stay nice and warm. Works great!
Don't want any scratches... uses paper towel on plexi. : | Magnets tripping traffic lights... do you science bro?
How about a surefire way to get rid of scratches in your visor? Seems that everywhere I go there is no stock for replacement visors for my helmet, because it's discontinued, despite the date code still being good.
A decent polishing compound and elbow grease can get the job done. *Sometimes*. Today's cheaper visors can't be polished at all, unfortunately. Let me know if you find something that works! ~RyanF9
Il try the fog hack :) tnx
Doesn't the stator of a motorcycle create a very large magnetic field?
I've heard car wax on the outside of your visor is good for making water flush off your visor!
I use rainx on my visor and car windows works great
I like how you barely even blow on the visor after your H&S trick lol
Great ideas Ryan, looking forward to Part deux. When are you coming to Toronto?
Should be shooting a bike review down there in October! ~RyanF9
Ryan - awesome vid. Give me a shout when you're down in T-DOT. I'd like you to meet my motorcycle extended family - all 200 of'em from Twisted Throttle Sportbike Riders haha!
I'd be afraid the plastic bag would catch wind n fly off.. yes or no?
Never happened to me, but it's possible. I keep tape in my riding kit - that's always useful for making a tight seal and taping down any flappy bits that could catch the wind. At least if it all goes wrong, you only lose a plastic bag! ~RyanF9
Good Video but the magnets at stop lights is a stretch!!
Electromagnetic field produced by a magnet to trip a light signal? I guess you dont know this is done by weight on the pressure plate in the ground or by a camera that’s attached to the light. Your tank scratching waste of time video can get off the internet now.
Not true, *some* are triggered by weight, some are triggered by imaging. The weight trigger is cumbersome and costly. But Hall sensor (EMI detection) is primarily what is used in newer roadways. Though as far as I know the imaging camera (light/UV detection) has it's own issues as well during the day for obvious reasons. But I agree that the magnet thing is likely BS does to the amount of generated field needed to trigger a change likely wouldn't allow those little magnets to work properly.
reminder cable 1$ on amazon! , map/phone bag(magnetic)10$(even less on amazon or try ebay) and the rubber gloves inside the gloves?!? have you actually used them?
have fun with dripping wet sweaty hands inside your wet gloves.....
For the last step. You can just put your bike in first gear, move it all the way forward to remove the slack. Then put the kickstand. Since the kickstand can only move off from forward motion. :-)
great ideas! very glad I came across your channel. you are not full of yourself like many other motovloggers. plus I only trust skinny armed people.... we rule lol.... really we do
okay im from India, and that traffic light hack not only went over my head, it just went out of orbit and crashed into jupiter.
😂 Lol
is it me or does he look like joffrey baratheon from game of thrones
0:37 anyone know what watch he is wearing??
This one: www.fossil.com/us/en/products/grant-chronograph-brown-leather-watch-sku-fs5068p.html ~RyanF9
+FortNine Legend!! Thanks!
Yes it's a cheap watch from the pound shop which he has painted gold to look like a rolex
+Chris Shaw pound shop lol my local pound shop only sells puppies
+tinyman520 Nice one 😊
what's the motorcycle that's in the back?
It's a 2015 V-Strom 1000. ~RyanF9
+FortNine thanks
My V-Strom is just like FortNine's. So far 13,000 fun trouble-free miles.
Suzuki, Ducati copy. lol
I swapped my V-Strom for a 1200 GS.
Its so nice to see young attractive lesbian women telling us about motorcycle hacks, great video keep up the good fight #pride
I Be Trollin' They Be Hatin' funny
