Deep discussion on today's video... keep it going at yammienoob.co 🔥
Whos Hunter S Thompson? XD
@@rapidicus6487 Gonzo Journalism! I liked him, suicided a few years ago😢! Google him, lots of stuff worth looking at!
Yammie Noob: I wonder why motorcyclists have a bad reputation?
Also Yammie Noob: Let's see if my Turbo 'Busa and H2 will break the sound barrier on the highway...
Nah I rather watch spites channel
@@moosecat he doesnt push eirthir of those bike hard enough to be a problem.
I got a flat tire on the freeway, some rando stopped by with his truck and took me and my bike to a shop. Wouldn't accept any money from me.
Whitney managed to make it past 2 mins before she started talking about dick an balls. I'm so proud of her, she's getting better at this
Hahahahaha 🤣 sup spark
Only a matter of time before she gets her own channel too ! 😂
@@williamcb78 she does have her own channel
I have never seen this Whitney before, is she always this annoying? I am out of here.
Two minutes too long
The sad part is, there are a lot of riders that ride as though they are 100% exempt from the law as well as invincible. There are literally TH-cam channels based around riders that mob 130mph+ through traffic daily as well as run from police.
the goat guy, and ‘gsxr brah’ are good examples. It’s entertaining but you wouldn’t catch me doing that kinda stuff
@@camp_moto_asmr I agree it's entertaining for sure but I hope those guys can find another way to make content. You can only dip out on Johnny Law and take risks at 170mph street riding at 10/10ths before bad shit happens. Badkittytime just died like last week, in the words of Ja Rule "Life Ain't a Game"
Its fun to do it but anyone who does has to accept that anything that happens to them when they are breaking the law is their fault alone.
The average driver is far worse.
Sport bikers have the worst reputation, and perhaps for good reason. I rarely see squids on cruisers and never see them on ADVs. Your statements about HST’s writing are interesting, and the first I’ve heard that don’t gush all over him.
Yam: "I am a safe rider"
Every 2nd Video: Yam doing a deep triple digit highway pull
Yam not that long ago: Almost died while going flat out on the wrong side of a public road
I only got mad getting cut off one time because they had a “ look twice save a life motorcycles are everywhere “ bumper sticker.
Yeah but there is a difference between looking and seeing. When I’m in my F150 especially I’ll miss small cars and motorcycles sometimes even though I’m looking as much as I can. When I ride I just assume that nobody sees me ever.
Just goes to show that people make honest mistakes, not to exclude yourself.
I started on a R3 and now ride a SV650S. Whenever I come to any kind of intersection where there is a car that could have pulled out on me but they didn't I always try to give them a wave. I obviously want to thank them for seeing me and waiting but I also hope to give them a nice perception on motorcyclist. Maybe they did have a squid on the highway cut them off while weaving at 120mph through traffic, but I hope that they will also remember the nice motorcyclist who gave them a wave for stopping and waiting and they'll be more open minded to those who ride
My advice to other motorcycle riders: Get proper motorcycle training, get proper gear, get a bike that fits you best, ride below your motorcycle ridding skills, Observe, analyze, execute with high precision and most importantly stay away from cars all the time.
I like to say my riding style is surgical😂
So flipflops with tread plate hot glued, bicycle helmet, wife beater, basket ball shorts, learn from uncle terry who hasn't had a license since 82', get a grom even though I'm 6'3, stare at my phone the hole time, be casual, tailgate.
Mostly it can be said that any subculture within society gets up the nose of another. I’m a cyclist in the UK, believe me, at least as a motorcycle rider I get the odd person who realizes I am not only going to work like everyone else but also taking up less space and therefore making other peoples life easier. As soon as I jump on my bicycle I am all of a sudden dehumanized and unanimously disrespected by other road users just for being there.
subcultures! Yup. Even in push-bike circles. I used to x-country/downhill a lot and would get sneered at by roadies (cyclists) when I was on the road with my hardtail mtb. As for motorbikes, I think most normies think of them as widow-makers. Heh.
Cyclist on the road are annoying unless they have their own lane
if all cyclists here in the UK followed the rules of the road there would be less hate, unfortunately the majority of them don't, congratz on being cyclings 1%er.
"More Nerds on Bikes" needs to be on a full range of clothing items.
LOVE, LOVE this!!❤️ Definitely keep sprinkling this type of content on the channel! All my fellow riders have moved on from riding and have left me a solo rider. This is a conversation I would definitely have
Yammienoob 12-2-2022 "I ride pretty safe." Yammienoob last week "I'm doing a 60-170 pull on my turbo Hayabusa on this public highway during the day on camera."
I thought the same exact thing. Literally biggest hypocrite 😂
@@S1KMassie enjoyable content, but the hypocrisy makes him lose credibility
It depends. People will think what they want to think. If you drive a big truck, people can and do perceive you differently depending on where you are. In Texas and Oklahoma it’s pretty much expected. In big and dense coastal cities, you can be get perceived as a redneck country bumpkin. With bikes, I think it depends more on how you carry yourself. In today’s culture, the squid without gear riding 2-3 times the speed limit and getting angry at the car pulling out in front at no risk to them is remembered more than the guy riding invisible.
It's like every day I hear someone make a rude comment about how some dude driving a truck must have a small pee pee. Then in the next breath they'll say they support body positivity and think shaming people based on how they're born is wrong. People are terrible at examining their own biases and recognizing their hypocrisy. Most are "sheep" unfortunately, ignorant, surface-level intelligent, and/or extremely cognitively imbalanced or dissonant (figuratively myopic, intellectually strong in logic but only barely able to create or recognize social cues, or vice versa)
As a newer rider, it was the gatekeepers that were my worry. Like many hobbies they are the clear minority, but that small group is loud. The nicest people I have met this year were on bikes, but also the biggest douchebags I met this year were also on bikes.
I really hate when you're lane splitting responsibly at a slow rate of speed and somebody decides to try and either open their door or try and move into your lane splitting so you hit them or wreck
Lane split at a speed that you only have to react to lane changes.
"We'll be your freind no matter what" Are you sure? I own a Royal Enfield
RE will be next bike.
@@tshadow6 I just got my continental gt 650 and I love it so much, it’s such a good bike
I have always liked this opinion I once heard regarding driving that said "isn't it funny how everyone driving slower than you is an asshole and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac?"
I think this translates in many different aspects of not only driving/riding but almost everything. If I see someone speeding (not even crazy fast) or aggressively moving through traffic, I tend to think WTF are they doing? But then that might be me and any other given day. I think this "bad behavior" is normal for enthusiasts whether it is cars, trucks or bikes, but in North America since bikes are not a common form of commuter transportation it means most motorcyclists are also enthusiasts which means there is a higher percentage of them "doing bad things" by why we are all judged.
Yammie Noob: I wonder why motorcyclists have a bad reputation?
Also Yammie Noob: Let's see if my Turbo 'Busa and H2 will break the sound barrier on the highway...
I do enjoy these fireside chat style videos Yam.
I love this new format, it's like the view. Yam is joy behar
More couch talks please. This was dope.
love this type of video, should do a sportsbike comparison in every engine class, 300-400cc 600cc and 1000cc. should do all the notable brands kawi, yamaha, suzuki, honda, bmw, aprillia, ducati, etc.
ty for this amazing video papa yam!
I live in a state that has no filtering or splitting and when the traffic is at a crawl or a standstill of course I’m going to go through, slowly, and the hate towards me and my brethren is palatable.
So why do those things that piss off other motorists?
@@RARufus I think they see it as rude because you're "cutting in line". What they don't understand is that we can't cut the line. We aren't even part of it.
Yammie: I see a guy doing a buck sixty on the highway fly right pass me. What’s he doing?
Whitney: he’s being siiiick
That fucking got me 😂😂😂
"More nerds on bikes" id buy that merch
yammie is so well versed, its honestly impressive how he is able to articulate effectively with an extensive vocabulary. scholar yam!
In the riding season where I live, there is a guy who rides by my house every morning at 7:10 AM. My alarm is set for 6:45. He is my snooze button so to speak lol! When I hear him go by I know it’s 7:10 and I gotta get and hop in the shower. Sometimes I wonder if I’m someone’s snooze as my bike is pretty loud as well haha!
Bro. Hunter s Thompson that wrote fear and loathing?! I guess we've come to the end of our 5 day, 127 hour yammienoob video binge
Some motovloggers have a bad reputation for firing their friends
hahah bagging up "he's bein' sick, so freakin sick" haha. great video
I had a chick come up and ask me for my number right before I got on my bike. I think it offers a sense of bad boy-esk energy. Younger women tend to like them more so than older women. But I think the rider is more important than the bike at the end of the day
I really appreciate and enjoyed this discussion
recently I lane split to the front at a light and guy in a 2001 Honda CRV went crazy cursing me out. I was on Trident and it sounded like he threw a rod trying to match my speed cursing me the whole way out his window. as I accelerated into the setting sun, last I saw was a thick cloud of grey smoke as he laid on the horn yelling
I have to know. Where did you get that painting from? Somebody please tell me😮
Every time I ride or go to my dealer to get maintenance done there’s always a rider saying ride safe. I like that. It’s like this instant connection that we have. I’ve met some harley guys that get enthusiastic about the younger generation becoming riders. Their main concern is how some people go over 100 and might not make it because of the possibility of one simple mistake could end it all. I know my honda navi is technically a scooter but I get a lot of compliments on it and it helped me with the basics such as counter steering and throttle control.
Good content, thanks. Interesting chat.
From my perspective as a non rider, people that ride motorcycles gain an automatic cool factor. It’s just cool. I think it’s dope. The only time I’m actually annoyed is when the obnoxious Harley bro hauls ass through the neighborhood at 3am.
"I ride pretty safe" after his near death experience
With my Duke 890 R (no cat and w/o DB-killer) everybody automatically thinks I'm an asshole. The upside is that almost all cars move out of the way preemptively when they hear me coming lol
There is definitely a perception out there that people who ride motorcycles are in some way “not normal”. What is funny is the response from some people when they see that “normal” people do ride, and in the case of a group I ride with, we’re all health care professionals. When we meet “normal” folks on a ride and they find out the group riding are doctors, nurses and health care executives, the look on their face is priceless. They truly have a hard time processing it….
I too am a healthcare professional. Wish I could ride with you guys and gals.
Hell yeah yammie I’m with you on that! “MORE NERDS ON BIEKS” -Yammie Noob
where can i find that valentino rossi wall art photo hanging in the background??
This isn't only an American thing. I live in New Zealand and it's the same here. Non riders here say the same/similar things that you guys are talking about. I was thinking that maybe you guys should ride in other countries and do videos of it. I've ridden in few countries and each has its own quirks but generally all the same. Bike people are bike people no matter what country they live in. It's awesome.
I am from the US, but I live in Thailand. I can probably count on both hands and feet the number of "non-scooter" bikes I have seen. when I am out driving, either on my scooter or car, my goal is to look for the scooters with multiple people on it, the most I have seen was a 3 generation bike.... granny was driving, mom on the passenger seat. the two oldest kids were standing on the floorboard in front of granny and mom had the baby between herself and granny....yes folks, that was 5 on a scooter....
I've seen similar in the Philippines on scooters.
Peak Asian.
Having ''The Perfect Vehicle'' right next to me on the shelf and suddenly seeing it here in the video too 🤔
Interesting chat for sure 24.15 totally sums up motorcyclists - they have formed a tribe of mis-fits. luv it.
her comment about adv reminds me of the new roadhouse remake. a dude on a ktm890 adv is being rowdy in a salmon polo, like what????
Hey yammie, this has nothing to do with the video but I have a problem. In July I crashed my moms bike and I broke 2 vertebrae in my neck and back and both of my shoulder blades. My problem is getting over that hurdle of riding the bike that almost killed me again. I’m not afraid of the bike, I’m afraid that I’ll be stupid and make the same mistake again. I love riding dirt bikes but there something different about being on the road instead of trails that I can’t get over. Any advice will be appreciated.
When I started to get into your videos, and you mentioned the rule of saying hi to other riders that pass by, I though that was so weird, because where I live, if we were to say hi to every rider that we see, we'd be saying hi every 20 seconds
I have fallen in love with Naked bikes, I used to like fully faired bikes, and people would ask what I rode and they would always say OH like they were disappointed, then proceed to tell me about someone having a harley, i’m 52 i’ve never owned a harley and I probably never will, just not my thing, but I don’t knock anyone for what they ride, it seems older people think harley’s are the sophisticated riders, but gimme sport or naked all day everyday.
The last two times I got pulled over by law enforcement, the very first thing they said to me was "thanks for stopping". Since when has it become optional, not to pull over, when prompted to do so by the proper authorities. (of course, asking for a friend)
It not that it became "optional", it's that most squids on supersport bikes ran and either go away or got un-alived. I once got busted doing 80 in a 55 on my R1. Sheriff deputy saw me and flashed his lights. I pulled over, took off my helmet and waited a solid 2 minutes for him to come. The look of relief on his face was priceless. He thanked me for stopping and I said "You got me fair and square." His biggest concern wasn't me violating the speed limit, it was my safety due to risk of crashing being higher and that's why he thanked me.
26:10 bro you break the speed limit basically every other video.
I am 56. I have been riding since I was 14, so people have always seen me as an outsider. I do not consider myself an average rider. Average riders ride when it is sunny and 70 degrees and little traffic. The only vehicle I own is my bike, and that is and was a choice. I just feel better on a bike.
Agreed. I have a truck but I ride a bike unless I have a specific reason to drive the truck. Heavy rain or snow/ice on the roads, truck. Need to carry something big, truck. Otherwise I'm on the bike.
🤔 I ride different kinds of bikes lol I totally agree u got to ride like no one can see you 🤦♂️ right now my daily is a zed400 and I ride a klx 250 on the street sometimes ( no sport bike atm 😬) but I haven’t noticed much difference in how people treat me depending on what bike I am on 🤷♂️ sometimes I get cut off or pulled in front of regardless of what bike I am on ( except one thing I have been pulled over more often on a sport bike)
@13:10 - LMAO; reminds me of my neighbor who hated my car due to my exhaust to the point she keyed it, but the road and area our condo is in is car/bike culture central and have supercars drive by the place multiple times a day 🙄
"Why are you riding these oil leaking smelly machines around?"
Said the man riding a 4 legged animal that pisses where it stands and takes 12 pound dumps whenever it wants.
I drive a dual sport, i was once cornered by 3 golf carts (I live next to a public lake) and they were claiming i, along with my "friends" was doing donuts in their yards.
They show me the video and pictures, which was clearly teens on 125cc pit bikes. I'm 32 years old; standing at 6'3 and 230 pounds, upon reviewing the video that it clearly was not me or my bike i was let off.
But the reputation of those kids have clearly put the locals into blind rage into blaming anyone and every one into accusing all Bikers of the crime.
Haven't read any of Hunter S. Thompson's work, but Johnny Depp was hilarious playing him in Fear and Loathing.
Hunter wrote the book. You should read it better than the movie
@@pucknhusker9426 I'm sure it is. Just haven't had time and I've got too many books already in the queue
Hi Yam, those that have never ridden also have built in preconceptions. They don't relate to the psyche of a rider.
And its not my fault that the busa can't be beaten from the lights🤣
Cheers mate
this video has inspired me to make my own riding videos
Ride like no one sees you ever is the best advice!
Im part of an MC in the UK and most of those guys flip the fuck out if a driver does something wrong, some even flip out while driving themselves saying what if I was on a bike xD
the way I see it is if you are riding in a way that makes it difficult to judge or see its your job to be ready for something every single time
The Yam + Whitney dynamic is excellent entertainment. Y’all are doing great keep up the good work.
Also, 4 wheeled vehicles are envious about motorcyclists' ability to filter in slower traffic to get in the fr9nt or just avoid a stoppage.
Yea, we have a bad reputation, due to bad apples. But, alot of us do alot of good things. There are alot of charity based groups and rides. Patriot Guard Riders, BACA, Rolling Thunder/Rolling To Remember, and many others
as someone who has ridden a handful of times on borrowed bikes, I see someone on a bike and think "uggghhhh, I NEED one, i just dont have 10k to through at a bike and gear right now"
In Malaysia we use mostly underbone bike just because we hate the traffic to much
Yam, you’re in Austin! Thought you were in Canada.
As long as we are on book recommendations, check out "Why We Drive" by Matthew Crawford. It talks a lot about wrenching, riding, automation, safetyism, and lots of other topics with insight.
Man Unfortunately Australia has the same hateful outlook on motorcycles. Everyone here perceives motorcyclists as a danger to society and treats us as villains
Its also seen differently in America because we dont have the restrictions the rest of the world has. If youre American you can get whatever you want. I think thats awesome.
That carpet is such an optical illusion
I live in an area where you really only see groups of Harleys with the normal racket they make but no drama. Only see one or maybe two sport bikes together. No real stereotypes. I do think it has to do with population and ability to ride all year. I ride a MT09 and don't think I've seen another one around yet.
The couch isn’t working. You look like the teacher separated you two.
Dude I live in fuckin Daytona Beach lol and most locals park their ride when the streets are filled with a bunch of non riders riding motorcycles
I live off Mopac in Austin. My goodness around 11 pm to 4 am you can hear dudes blowing through gears. Sometimes it's one dude or a group. I don't mind but wth.
it's the same thing in the car community. Everyone that just likes to hang out and talk about cars get a bad rap because of all the takeovers now. social media has definitely ruined most communities now.
pls actually do yams literary hour because i cannot wait to argue with you about it
Agree with much of what’s been said here. I ride responsibly most of the time, ATGATT, a Kawasaki Z900RS and an MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR. Complete nerd who loved tinkering with mechanical things since I was 3 years old. Also own a bunch of fun German cars. And no tattoos. Happy in my enthusiast worlds.
Ill tell ya what Yammie, id rather take my kids to a "bike night" to look at the bikes, than around the yahoos with their lifted F250S, with exhaust stacks thicker than my leg.
Yam's literary hour needs to happen though for real.
The Yammie Noob book club!
The random group of teenagers on hawk 250 amazon motorcycles that are pulling woolies while swerving through rush hour traffic with no plates, no gear, and even drive into oncoming traffic while laughing and flicking drivers off. Those are the people who are remembered. Ride safe guys!
when i see a big group of harley’s i honestly just think they’re dorks. when i see someone on an r9 driving 80-90 (flow of traffic on the turnpike) with a t shirt and a backpack i think they have a deathwish. when i see a dude on a honda or a guzzi i think they’re probably a father.
Thumbnail is sick though 😂
Just like the retro slugbug game, in which people slug each other anytime they saw a vw bug, there should be a game called "Count the motorcycles. High score wins!" that cause people to start looking for mc's to help increase mc awareness.
I love episodes that Whitney is in They're my favorite She's hilarious 😂
I was a bit bugged by some specific dirt bike riders a few years ago. A couple of kids of a family that owned the gas station down the road from me, the family owned a whole strip of land, the kids decided they wanted to do dirt bikes, so the family rented a Bobcat and made a track for the kids. I mean that's friggin' awesome right? Except the kids were on the track ALL THE TIME, like 12 hours a day, every day, all summer, like 500 feet from my house. It was even more irritating than the HD crowd riding along the scenic road that our house is up against (sometimes almost 100 bikes in a pack taking minutes to go by)
Here in Spain we have the European AM -> A1 -> A2 -> A licenses progression. So real quick for those who don't know it. For a reference, you can drive cars when you're 18 (with the B license). You can get the AM license with 15 and drive 2 strokes 49cc. So you can see young little future squids outside highscools on that. With 16 years old you can get the A1 license, and it gets you up to 125cc. Here you can encounter from (again) future squids on a GSXR 125 from a lot (and I mean a LOT) of adults going to work and trying to save some money on parking and gas. With 18 years old you can now go to the A2. No cc limitation, but power instead. Maximum power output of 35 Kw (which is around 49 HP). Now right here is where you start to find some enthusiast. Yeah some people are still commuting saving some bucks on a limited 650cc but I would say maybe half of them end up falling in love with motorcycles. Now for the last one the A license is just "whatever bike". But in order to get it you need to posses at least the A2 license for 2 years. So this system is supposed to "reward" progression and dynamic learning. It kinda works and also it doesn't but that's another whole different story. My point is: 1000cc here? Full A license. That means you're an absolut motorcycle freak enthusiast (normies see them as "nothing bad against those people") or just a street Rossi. However there's PLENTY of enthusiasts who just do their weekend rides and enjoy, but the minority of street squids poppin nooners and revvin that inline 4 straight piped Gixxer are a real "inconvinience" for the rest of us. However it is true that it kinda is like tattoos. But slower. People are getting used to see the rider as an interrogation like "it can be whoever I don't know". But I do believe it's gonna get some years still to get to that point. But we are doin pretty good I would say. Drive safe guys.
I will procure myself down the road so that I may matriculate myself in greatness.
1. Yammie Noob literary hour! Yes!
2. More nerds on bikes merch, please!
3. How do I connect with more women bikers, so I can ride with them?
Whenever I mention I ride bikes in Australia it’s kind of frowned on by “normal” people. Which is frustrating because this shit is fun.
Don't you love the "Temporary Australian" thing!! 🙄
I don't fit in to most of these categories. If any of them. I ride a foot-forward cruiser (not a Harley), I'm not a member of any MCC, I don't wear a cut, I wear an open face helmet and textile armour, I ride purely for pleasure (I'm professionally retired so have loads of time on my hands), and apart from funeral/wedding/prom escorts, I ride solo. Usually.
The funny thing is people love to see my v30 magna, I have never been harassed or had people be apauled to be in the presence of my bike, but I live in a small town in north Texas I think is has to do with the area that you ride/live in.
when i ride, idgaf about what anyone thinks. they're not me and I'm not them.
Lmao it goes from 9 mins to 27 mins or sum. Shit like that on the what discord thinks section lmfao haha epic
My grandmother tells me about her stepson who ran out in front of a car and got hit every single day. Still hasn't stopped me from riding motorcycles though 7:06
this is a interesting stuff...
why other people's bad manner have to count on me?
even I am just riding safely, being quiet with a stock pipe, and enjoy myself?
24:28 Didn’t needa be called out like this 🤣
19:50
Every time I see a pack of Harley riders, I don't think of lawyers and doctors. I always think of the old movie wild hogs.
