      Fellow Ninja 300 riders share a common experience. We relate as the little Ninja 300 is hard to describe. I don't commute on my 300 and keep it for quick rides around town and urban areas after dark. It's a fun plaything and that's all it needs to be. I have other motorcycles for commuting or going touring but I still return to my little 300. The stock exhaust is a plus as the bike doesn't attract attention when it's got a full head of steam up, perfect for hooning around in stealth mode.

    my advise is to leave the channel up ... reason is you have a lot of helpful info out there that will help new riders and inform people on how to do things. you are an inspiration so keep that out there for others that are looking

    • @ThisLifeRiding

    • @Desh681
      @Desh681 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, absolutely please keep this channel up. Your videos and your personality are incredibly inspiring to prospective new riders like me.
      I've had my eye on the Ninja 300 (haven't got it yet) for about a week before i saw your videos, but if i hadn't; your channel _will_ have gotten me into the Ninja 300. You are just so positive about that bike and everything else.
      You are also one of the few people who has only a bike for commuting, and has stuck with the 300 as your main; something that is almost universally non-recommended by so many.
      For me, your Vblog is a little similar to moving to a completely non-english speaking country (like Japan), as opposed to just visiting, which so many recommend. It's a whole another experience between visiting for a while, and taking a leap to move somewhere like that; just like you who've taken the leap to get only a bike, and inadvertently inspiring thousands on the way.
      When you decide to visit your channel in a while, there will many new bike riders that have come about because of you; remember that.

      Same here :( I just discovrred it a few weeks ago. Today i just clicked on his videos tab to see whats new, and now I'm watching this video and I'm getting pretty sad. Hes part of the reason I chose a ninja 300 as my first bike. I love his enthusiasm, and the knowledge he shared. I just hope hes doing okay in life, whether hes riding a bike still or not. I really really apreciate his videos and knowing there isnt any more coming may or many not have gotten some tears out of me. I cant confirm or deny that one.. :/

    I saw this video when it originally came out but I never left a comment. I don’t know if you will see this but I would like to say thanks, you are one of my biggest inspiration to get into the world of motorcycles. Namely my interest in starter bikes, the Ninja 300.
    You influenced me a lot in my decisions on safety gear, defensive riding, tips, all kinds of topics you’ve covered. This summer I’ll actually be getting a Ninja 300 Winter Test Edition, and I don’t believe I ever got to say thank you for the inspiration.

    Man you have no idea how much you have taught and encouraged me these last few weeks. Got my Motorcycle license a few years ago and decided this was the year I’d buy my first bike. Didn’t initially know where to start and after research kinda fell in love with the ninja 300 before I ever even seen one in person. Watching your videos has made my decision to buy one even stronger and has gave me so much more confidence in perusing my goal to own and ride a bike safely. Even months after you have gave up moto blogging your videos are still helping people to this day. Your time making them will touch many and possibly save lives. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!

    It was definitive fun while it lasted. You did have some pretty informational videos and have most likely helped many people with their own bikes or even persuading them to get a bike. I'll have to add my two cents on saying keep the page up, as I'm sure it will still provide information to new or beginner riders. Best of luck to you, hopefully things turn around soon with the financial living paycheck to paycheck. I know that life isn't fun. Hopefully I'll bump into you on the road sometime, stay safe brother and hydrated on the roads!

    I just subbed and was looking through your videos and found this one. You had some really good content and I really enjoyed watching your stuff. I wish you well with your life, bud. I hope more people can find your videos and learn some stuff from you.

    Hey man, I just got my license about two weeks ago and about to purchase a 2014 kawasaki ninja 300 SE just like yours. I think you have really great contents here, I've recently started watching and it's been very helpful on deciding what bike to get and all the considerations that go into a motobike. Wish you the best my man, hope you can continue to make videos for fun one day.

    Sorry to hear it didn't work out the way you hoped. But leave the channel up. I only watched a couple of videos but I've been enjoying them (and I'm not even a bike person, lol), so I intend to watch more. Looks like there's a lot of good content to be found too. Also, you seem like a genuinely good, interesting, and funny person. So here's hoping you'll make more vids, even if they're not on a bike.

    Ah, geez. I knew exactly what it was before I clicked on this.
    I believe that you should keep the channel up. Your videos are extremely helpful, and has helped me with the Ninja 300 I am looking to purchase. Because of you (and obviously more research but mainly you), I feel almost completely ready to buy my Ninja and I think I know almost everything I could possibly know about the Ninja. Of course, I may not know EVERYTHING, but most of it.
    You and other motovloggers inspired me to begin riding and I’ve fell in love with it. Do what you want to do, but keep up the channel. It’ll help other people learn about the Ninja 300 and other bikes. Thank you for all the inspiration and information you’ve given me. ❤️

    Hello, I'm David (20 years old) and because of ridiculously high car insurance rates due to my driving record, I'm purchasing a ninja 300 next week to use as my daily commuter. I just moved into the Goodyear AZ area about a month ago after watching your videos. Watching your vlogs has given me a whole new perspective on riding. I was certain that because of my high car insurance it would be impossible for me to find a job and be able to get there outside of living in a major city. Now I know it's not a crazy notion to use a bike as a primary vehicle. As an aside I'll say that just following your channel gave me the crazy idea of moving from Long island NY all the way to AZ, but more importantly, your videos gave me the courage to ride and brought me out of a very dark and somewhat depressing time in my life by showing me that it was still possible for me to have transportation without slaving at work for an insurance bill. If you still get on here to read the comments, I know it may be confusing to you as to why.. but just know that your personality and positivity about life and riding was enough to ACTUALLY REALLY help someone going through life on their own journey. And I'm sure you've helped many others in ways I couldn't detail. Thank you, stay riding, maybe I'll see you around.

As you have always told me...you do you man. Good luck and please, please consider doing it here and there for fun. There is free editing software out there and people like you and your personality so don't worry about hours of editing. We just wanna know how you are doing. Good luck man!

Please do not feel like this was wasted time, I only discovered this channel a week or two ago but ive watched everything, You are by far my favorite motovlog channel as me and a friend are both looking to get into riding (got our learners), and we both want ninja 300s. your channel has provided us with an abundance of tips and advice. not only that but laughs, entertainment, and good vibes! You have helped us more than you could imagine and from what i notice, lots of others! so i think i can speak on behalf of all of us up and coming riders who stumbled upon your channel, by saying thank you. God Bless

    TLR, I’m just getting into motorcycling and haven’t even bought a bike yet. I honestly just found out about you recently and I know I want the Ninja 300 so when I saw you had it, I watched all your videos. Because of you you taught me so much and inspired me to “Just Do It!” Don’t be afraid and just go for it. You taught me almost everything and I think I speak for all newbie bikers out there that you are one of the most best people to learn from. I wish you the best and hope you get back on your feet soon. Life isn’t worth it if it sucks all day everyday. So go fix your life, make it what you want it to be. And I guarantee everyone will be waiting for you when you come back. *insert biker wave here* Good luck brother!

  • @scottyh1509

    Some good content on this channel for new riders, this is my take on some of his mistakes:
    -Find a motorcycle mechanic in your area, dont rely on a dealership for repairs.
    -Get a ninja 300 w/ ABS if you are going to ride on public roads.
    -If you plan on putting 15K miles/year on your vehicle and you are single/have a small family...get a used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Good used examples will run you $9-11K but if you maintain them well they will deliver 3-400K miles, so they are a much better value than a bike. Also, more comfortable/safe/room for passengers/etc. Bikes make sense as commuters if you are doing 5K miles or less/year.
    -If a bike is your main vehicle learn to wrench. The engine and components are easily accessed, less high-tech to deal with compared to a car.
    Not dissing the guy, just that there is always more to learn from someone else's mistakes.
