Can u please go to down town mobile Alabama pls for Mardi Gras
pls do a face reveal
Was the restaurant as good as the San Clemente pier?
Yoo bro I feel like I can see your face at the beginning did you do a face reveal? Just looking out for ya
Have you ever totaled a borrowed bike?
I grew up here in Fort Myers and lived there majority of my life before moving near the mountains of Oregon 7 years ago. I haven't been back yet since the hurricane. Thank you for the video, its gonna be hard for me coming back and no longer seeing so many places that I grew up around. My momma lives just 3 miles from Fort Myers beach, I'm so grateful that she made it through the storm alive. Thanks again Brian.
I lived there for a while
Hell yeah another Oregonian
@@HbombMoto Lee County is where I learned how to ride on 2 wheels! Being that I'm in the mountains now, I ride mainly dual sport/adventure bikes but I sure do miss sport bikes!
@@erics2890 Oregon is an amazing place to be, especially if you ride bikes! I'm over in Central OR, just outside of Bend. Cheers
Blocking the right of way as he passes you perfectly fine with space and no trouble
Facts😂 I don’t even see any cars in that parking lot either
Yep on Camera. Thats why he just rolled right away... He realized "oh shit.. wrong one to fuck with, if this guy knows his rights I might get in trouble"
he's just a miserable asshat
That's what I'm saying. Bro drove past him while telling him he's in the way. He also wasn't on the road, he was in the sand next to the road.
We should open a resturant like that here at home and call it "Wheelies By The Lake", and have some stunt riders performing in the warm months to intertain the croud, and ofcourse bangin' music!
I have no idea who we is, and I have no idea where your home is, since I am a stranger on the Internet, but I agree!
@@eriklarson9137 I concur.
@eriklarson9137 since Brian is from Chicago and there's a big lake next to it, I'd say around there
i use to live in sanibel with my parents luckily for them they sold the house 3 weeks before the hurricane and moved to Sarasota our house was on 15 foot stilts and the first floor still got submerged with water it was insane.
Holy crap 3 weeks before!!!!!
From Ft. Myers. A big problem with Ian was that power was lost in a lot of places, including mine. We went to bed thinking Ian was hitting more around North Port. Without power and the masses of people bogging down 5g, we honestly had no idea the storm was rolling over us directly. We just couldn't access radar. It wasn't until trees were getting ripped out of the ground that I looked at my kids and said the storm shifted and we are in it.
For a lot of people that have never been in a hurricane, sure it sounds scary. I mean, it isn't a walk in the park. But really it is the days after that are the worst. Cutting your way through all the broken trees, no power, sleeping in the Florida heat, people fist fighting for gas. You see the brotherhood of man during disaster, and that is there is none. It is everyone for themselves. Luckily Publix opens nearly immediately and still accepts debit/credit cards and sometimes they have ice.
this is honestly so true abt hurricanes
Elena was when I became a prepper. Everyone at the last second buying everything out. Plywood. Food. Water. Gas. Etc. Watched my dads dock float up and then down. Elsewhere. Almost sailed the Sunfish down the street. Did go skim boarding. Opened the windows and cranked the stereo. St pete beach. Made the best of it😊
Hey brotha man, I was an essential worker doing security in the days following Ian, it was absolute chaos. The grocery store that supplied the locals on the main strip of FMB didn’t reopen for almost a year. It was a real hassle for anyone to even get basic necessities for a long while after the storm. Thanks for showcasing this area man! I’d love to be able to talk about it more with you because there’s so much that people don’t know about what happened on Sanibel/Captiva Island and the surrounding areas.
My aunt worked on sanibel, we visited the February before Ian got to see it and then went back the following February, so surreal all the damage that happened.
mike the good ole florida man
I've never been there. Thanks for the ride along.. 😅 I just love that you can get a rental, anywhere and throw it around like it was home 🧩
Any time!
5 years from now Brian on his bike thinking “wonder what Mike is doing today?”
I used to live there that’s crazy how bad it is . 😢
Ayyyyy 239 represent!!! Never thought Id see you make a video in the city I grew up in. I hope you enjoyed your time there brian!
i grew up going to fort myers every year and when it got hit my families never gone back so seeing it your videos a little heartbreaking seeing the restaurants and shops so empty and quiet.
watching out of port charlotte! we didnt get hit as bad as fort myers but it was still chaos. i was working in the big hospital during the storm and the weeks following felt like a warzone with the amount of people coming in. glad you got to come down and do a video tho! love the content as always
I was just in Clearwater, Florida the day before that Hurricane hit. Thank god we made it out🙏🏽🙏🏽rip to those who lost their lives and hope those residents and businesses recover fully💯
The building you went in and showed the picture of fun rentals is the shop I worked at in high school and is the reason I got into bikes nothing left now
Yeah Ian really did a lot of damage to south florida. Theres still even super expensive beach water businesses that are still doing construction. One of my buddies lived near the water, there were boats in the middle of the roads, in houses, on houses. It was truly crazy. Plenty of insurance companies fucked people out of their houses and not covering for loopholes and shit. Thought I had saw you when I was out riding lol. Preciate you brother. Hope you have a great rest of your day :) (if youre still here and want to ride id be down)
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life. Born and raised 1/2 my life in Delray/Boca Raton, then the past 20 years I’ve been in Port St . Lucie, if there’s anything I have big respect for and don’t have any interest in provoking any natural disaster it’ll be the ocean. My best friend was living Sarasota and he left came back to PSL for the storm, even us here on the east coast had some serious wind and rain definitely not as bad but it was pretty strong
Man last time i watched hoodeats was like ages ago, just came back and I have to say the quality is amazing, relaxed riding, telling some history, talking with locals and popping some wheelies. Love it :D
My parents have a place inland Ft. Myers and we have been going and staying on Ft. Myers beach for 20 years and my dad had been there since the 80s, first guy to run parasailing on that beach. Sad to see the devastation, couldn't bring myself to go see the beach this Christmas. My biggest fear is it will be rebuilt but will be completely corporate owned, with Margaretville already reopened, I see most of the land being bought up and turned more into a completely different beach. Ft. Myers beach definitely had a unique small old beach town feel prior to the hurricane and I really hope it comes back. I know some iconic places like the cottage is trying to reopen under new owners but a lot of the original owners of the famous spots are selling, and I can't blame them.
Thank you for showing my home state. I love FL
I'm originally from Plant city Florida. Some of the storms, we had were terrifying. So sad to see the damage.
Yooooo it’s so cool to see you out here in south FL. Love your content bro! 🤟🏼
This reminds me of what happened to my town of fort McMurray Alberta on 2016
Hey. Just wanted to clarify something for the viewers that was mentioned about Margaritaville. The original Margaritaville is in Daytona Beach and is now a chain of resorts. The construction of the one in this video started a couple of years before Hurricane Ian. Originally, Fort Myer's residents did not want it because Fort Myers was a chill beach town and residents thought, because of the size of the resort being built, it would be about all Margaritaville and no longer about the quaint beach town that it was prior to the hurricane. Now, it seems that this resort may be a lifeline for the area, bringing tourist back to help out the other businesses that are still hurting. So contrary to what Brian said about it being torn down by the hurricane, it was under construction when the hurricane hit and recently opened a portion while the rest is still under construction. I live about 2 and half hours away in SW Miami but we stay on Estero Blvd in Fort Myers every summer because it's family friendly, unlike south beach, and Miles of white sand and things to do for the kids.
Yeah I grew up in Hollywood and the Margaritaville they opened up down here on the beach was unwanted as well. I can’t say how good or bad it was for the city, cuz the tourism has always been strong here, but it’s definitely changed the Broadwalk and in my opinion not for the better.
I don’t know how true it is but the 50 cal bullet on the antenna is to show people that we do carry. At least that’s what my father told me and he had one on his so I just assumed it was true.
i think this fz is the same fz my friend salem (RIP) brought with us to the florida keys. what gives it away is the sticker on the front fender, the stickers on the wheels, the bar end mmirrors and all the skull stickers on the white plastics. the stickers on the white plastics are a little different so im assuming someone went down on the bike and he put new stickers on it. anyway, cool to see we rode the same rental bike!
brian having mirrors 🤣
I’m not use to that
I rented that exact bike out of Fort Lauderdale in December 2023. I turned it to 40,000 miles on the 7 mile bridge. NWI 219
What app is it on
Yo I'm nwi 219. That's crazyy
Knockin on that door to 1 mil 👀
Dude my parents were just on the beach all last week! I wish I had gone I could have seen you riding. Wild!!
born and raised in fort myers. that bridge that goes above the gas station you showed in the beginning of the video is maybe 3 miles away from the beach. i got stuck there three days after the storm trying to get to my old job to check out the damage and see if i still had a job to go to. so much sand and debris washed up and i couldn’t see how bad it was till it was too late. had to leave my car there for a few days before a tow truck could get to me. it’s heartbreaking to see the only home you’ve ever known and all the people in it, fall apart. thanks for making this entertaining while still showcasing all the death and destruction done by ian
edit: i kept watching and it’s so cool to see you enjoying my town. i had my 12th birthday dinner at the restaurant you ate at haha. love it!
I was there a few weeks ago. It is still pretty crazy down there boats still submerged. Ate at the same restaurant lol
Ya I was not expecting that tbh
Fort Myers was a beautiful place 20+ years ago. A lot of things went wrong there and now it is a dump.
I worked and lived there for hurricane Ian, never been more heartbroken about what i saw that no one else knew about
Holy crap, insane to see the lingering effects still after that massive hurricane. Glad houses and buildings can and will be rebuild but may take a while still till it's all back in a rebuild state.
I'm from Chicago, but live down here in the town over from FTMB. Cool to see you in my neck of the woods.
didn’t realize we already had the big brother license plate readers around our state, gotta round up the tag boys and put and end to that waste of taxpayer dollars by turning em into art
You ain’t lying
So weird seeing it like this since I went on vacation the year before the hurricane
watchin at work, it’s dope you can still ride in the winter. love the vids man 🤙
A good friend of mine lives in LeHigh Acres he says Fort Myers has its fair share of issues for sure.
I live in lehigh. And yes your friend is correct
you know what. i can relate to those people. my apples were blown off my tree and i had to drive away in my corvette.
I was there when it happened. I got a video from the top floor of the hotel I used for shelter. The water was 20 ft high. My sailboat sunk and wasn't found for 5 months. Job was completely destroyed. Lost everything. It was great 👍🏻
Devastation from natural disasters is crazy, on a lighter note, glad to be here for a hood eats while it’s live 🤘🏻
One of the craziest rides I've ever been on is after this really bad storm on My sports bike and just looking at the damage
Loved this hood eats, im on fz07 as well and my favorite restaurant you ended up at, crazy!
Had an MT07, sold it for a FZ09, I do miss the wicked sound of the 07, but the 09 is just so much more fun.
@@sircovfefe8858my dads got an mt09 that I ride sometimes that thing is a blast, not ready for that kinda power though
Born n raised in florida on the coast. Moved up to near milwaukee a few years ago but regret it. Riding out the hurricanes is no joke tho and rebuildings not quick
bought my first bicycle in that one shop you were in that was destroyed. Gotta be careful going into those empty houses though some people can be very defensive. Stayed in estero during the storm and grew up on the beach
I like how you said it’s chicago meets the beach, reminded me of when a friend declared Corpus christie is Texans meet the beach, spurs on your sandals 😂
I thought I recognized the area but I was like no no way then I saw the fort myers bridge and was like dam he’s really going over my home town it was sad watching and seeing everything gone no more pier view hotel or gator bites at the restaurant across the street no more henna tattoos it’s so crazy to me that this happened
We appreciate you giving attention to the destruction in Florida fom the hurricanes!
Just bought a Sportster 48 yesterday, my first bike! Been loving the videos, hope you come back to MI this year so I can meet you.
Hey man i love the videos and i respect everything you do for the moto community, i can't wait to get a bike. Thanks for sheading light on the rough areas and giving us more history then some of my teachers. Keep it up man!
Was in Clearwater, Florida when Hurricane Ian hit, thankfully was just south of getting hit with anything major.
Like you, I was vacationing there but was to visit family - one hell of a visit ngl 😂
Respect from the Islands!
That FZ just needs to be maintained better, 41k miles should be nothing for these bikes..
Awesome video brother! Stay safe out there man, you’re one of the few good genuine humans 🤙🏼
You gotta friend in Venice Fl bout a hour north of Ft. Myers!
RIP Jimmy Bruffet
Nice to see these fz’s 07 lasting 40ks
very similar sights to the jersey shore after hurricane sandy. Its been 12 years now so everything is 99% back, but it took years and years for things to not be visibly destroyed. Multimillion dollar mansions sat collapsed on their properties for years
holy shit dude just seen you bout to hit a million subs.
Grew up in Fort Myers, used to work at the Nauti Parrot which was completely destroyed in the last Hurricane
Love the videos Brian! Keep up the good work!
A funny thing with Hurricane Ian i have Cousin who name is lan
He like to say that hurricane lan was he's Fault
I live in fort myers
Im glad you are okay man
i live 30 mins west of chicago and bought my first Grom 2 days ago can’t wait to ride “lean back”
Man, sad to see my favorite vacation spot is still wrecked. It is getting warmer up here in Chicago though.
Grew up going to fmb for spring break and moved down right after the hurricane it’s so different so sad
hey brian, been watching since your how to wheelie a stock 600 video, love ur vids man❤
Kinda wished I would have gotten a FZ/MT07. Got the 09 instead but I would like to get a 07 this year. I just think the 07 sounds really good with a exhaust. Both bikes are cool but the 07 is a must lol. Thanks for sharing 👍
right next to the building with the turtle on the side there is a food truck that used to be a little well known restaurant called "The Heavenly Biscuit" it was really good breakfast! I highly suggest there for a good breakfast! the owners name is Tyler and he is such an amazing individual!
you should come to tampa sometime 🙏❤️
I grew up in fort myers my whole life even my fiancé my fiancé lived on the beach and she went to school at the school on the beach and now it’s Gina some of the shops u saw even the sea turtle one we went into and shopped u made me cry cus I haven’t been back since it happened
I WAS LITERALLY IN THAT SPOT U WERE IN WHERE YOU WENT ACROSS THE BRIDGE
Nothing but respect for you, man .Keep up the hood eats 🫡
i love watching while eating noodles fr sh hit different
i still live here. that gsxr at 4:40 is ridden by a lady in her late 50s early 60s😂
Answer to the antenna at the beginning… it’s because our radios don’t work😅😅
its so crazy to see it all like that i was their about 6 months to a year before huricane ian happened, it took us like an hour just to cross that bridge
Brian you the man!
im waiting on that mill
It's neat when you actually make video and I recognize the place. I lived there in 2017.
I was lucky to have my house built on 15 ft stilts. When we came back to the island, we seen water markes 14 ft high. Thanks for the video.
i was at my house during the hurricane its was crazy to say the least. seeing what happen to fort myers beach really sucked i grew up in this area and am still here but we all where really upset, all the destruction that happen to the area was shocking my brother worked down at the beach and his job was gone nothing but sand was left after that day crazy very nice video though
he drove past my grandparents house at the trailer park for old people next to that putt putt place, i lost my grandma in 2019, reminded me of her
They will come back as great as ever. Americans will come back stronger than ever. God bless the people of Florida. God bless America🇺🇲💪
Been a while since I’ve checked in. Awesome unique content as always. ❤
I was just there! BonitaBills by Fort Myers beach has the best shrimp in the world man 🤙🏻
I have a good friend who lives there and there was not a spot on the island that wasn't covered in water in 2024 still destroyed sad to see.
Hell yeah, FZ Brian. Great video stay safe brother.
Ahh so this is what you did when u rented my bike😂😂😂😂. Glad u took good care of her! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You really need that collab with Danny Duncan, shock the world Brian
Love your videos man keep it going🦾🏍.
The difference is that destruction was caused by a storm from nature. Chicago and Detroit was destroyed by people. Ft Myers will be rebuilt and thrive again. Not sure about Chicago or Detroit.
Great video as always ❤😊
Yo welcome to my neck of the woods I live right outside Ft. myers
I don’t know you can rent bikes that’s so dope
Hood eats 69 on the fz gotta love it
Those houses must have very high insurance rates!
❤ Ian was definitely the scariest hurricane I've been through.
