Combine the tank bag and phone mount by getting a tank bag with the clear window and phone holder. You can carry snacks, extra batteries for your GoPro and other essentials. Or if you are in Flint Michigan like I am you can carry a backup gun and a bunch of extra loaded magazines. 🤣
I wonder how many people have wrecked and been thrown a distance from their bike and hurt badly and can't call anyone to help because they just happen to be riding alone in the twisties. Even if they're laying beside the bike it's likely the phone will be sent a ridiculous distance into the woods from the wreck. I've traveled the united states' and only ever read the road signs and showed up to my destination every time. Keep your phone on you. Trying to read a phone screen while riding isn't the best option for most anyways.
Phone mount yes, but not for the new iPhones. The camera gets broken due to the vibrations. I bought an OUKITEL WP5 off of Amazon to serve as my navigation. Just use your hotspot on your iPhone to the OUKITEL WP5. Then, Bluetooth from OUKITEL WP5 to your helmet coms for spoken navigation directions.
When I got my ninja 400 2021 model I promised I never get a back bag system a year later I'm running my bike with a bag system lol never knew how I rode with out one
As I got older I traded in my adventure bike with plenty of storage for an R6 with exactly none unless you count the half a cigarette I can fit under the rear seat 🤣
sport bikes can carry a lot get tank bag and a real back pack, did it for yrs I could go grocery shopping for myself single guy on a ninja 600 with back pack and tank bag. main thing on bak pack be sure it can hold small 8 lb bag of ice and a 6 pack, trust me on that one LOL

@@LuisAlfredo90 mt-07 is a nice “cradle to grave” bike that I recommend a lot. Easy enough to ride that you won’t instantly kill yourself but fast enough that you’ll never “outgrow” it if you keep the right mindset
@@talltale9760 haha I actually bought a lightly used 2018 mt07, plenty of personality and really all you “need” for the street especially for a new rider

A pair of sunglasses and a clear visor is the easiest day-to-night option, followed by a transition visor, followed by a helmet with a built in sun visor. All are good options, but I don't think it's ever a good idea to rely only on a tinted visor all the time. You need to be more versatile than that. Also, hell yes on the luggage. With age comes wisdom and a matched set of hard bags. Call me a nerd, I don't care. I can carry stuff, you can't. I win.
I've got got 30L panniers on both sides and a 55L TopBox. It is SOOOOO handy while travelling, especially if going for a picnic or ride with my partner. Before would have to carry a backpack. Now me and my partner can comfortably go for a weekend getaway with the panniers and topbox fully loaded and nothing on our backs or laps. Plus my partner can lean against the topbox as a backrest. Granted I do have the luxury of owning more than 1 bike, this is mounted on my ADV bike while my naked bike has nothing
I always had back pack back in the day had pare shield in it tinted for day if I rode into evening pulled over put clear one on. sunglasses a pain to get on and off in full face plus I could flip up tinted when refueling and going into store or if I need clear quick glance at something. Also had nice clothe and cleaner for the days when bugs were out in number. Good back pack is only thing I ever needed no phone holder or sliders or most of the junk guys use today. I was riding I needed bike gear and open road and gas money LOL
I rode to ride if i was staying over night or going to see family and needed luggage took a car. I am sport bike guy I rode for backroads and speed, did not need anything that back pack could not carry. anything else is weight and slows bike and kills handling and braking. Bike was my ferrari, fast and slick minimal things. if it did not make make bike stop or go better I did not want it. luggage is for cars not bikes.

Pro tip: make sure your trickle charger is rated for the correct batter type. Most standard chargers only support traditional lead-acid or AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries. If you have upgraded to a lithium battery (I don't think they come stock on any bikes yet), you will need the appropriate charger, ideally one that can toggle between both types. Also helps to invest in a battery with a built in jump starter for emergencies.
Triumph speed triple RS/RR, 2022 Tiger1200 and BMW S1000RR atleast comes with Lithium batteries from factory. I'd say many other top dick models from different manufactorers come with Lithium stock aswell
@@TheJunky228 it's really just a battery management system so the battery never over drains should you leave it on for an extended period by accident, and allows you to jump it with whatever is left over
@@Cthooligan oh ok, so not really jumping it but just making sure it doesn't overdrain to the point it can't turn over the starter. that sounds like a nice system, something I'd kind of expect most to have these days. as for me, I've got a kickstart 😁
Yammie, I love the channel but would like to have some consideration for an old guy like myself. I am 65, have a Zook Burgman 400 and have had a small stroke but just wanted to keep riding. With the automatic transmission and the hand brakes, it works for me, however, some of the content is a bit more sportbike oriented. Just asking to keep us other guys in mind from time to time.. I live outside of the Austin area and would love to meet up to join a ride with you and the others, at some time too.
Regarding the photo chromatic visor, a cheap DIY alternative that I use is putting insulating black tape on the upper part of your visor, so it acts like a sun visor. For a more aesthetic finish, you could use paint instead. Works like a charm.
I have 3 sheilds dark tint light tint and clear change them as day goes. back pack is great for carrying spares and other nice junk like a rag for bugs with some cleaner.
My iphone camera’s got ruined by using a phonemount on a motorcycle in 30 minutes because of the vibrations. I used a Rokform kit. Much regret. Use with caution. For me: never again.
I went full dad with the glasses I wear while riding. I have a pair of full on prescription safety glasses complete with polycarbonate transition lenses... best piece of kit I purchased in a long time
I’m a Wisconsin rider. Me and one other got at work have our bikes in the parking lot from the first rain of the year (that washes all the salt off the road) until the first snow off the year. Heated grips are a must. We both use the bike master brand. I think they’re about $50/60 and work great. You do have to remember to turn them off otherwise you’ll kill your battery.
Okay so watching this video made me come up with an invention idea and if anyone wants it, go for it. Basically its a hand warmer and a tampax pad combined so its a hand warmer that sticks to the seat of your bike right near the crotch area. This earea has many major arteries flowing near it meaning it is an amazing place to heat up when riding. This would be a cool cheap alternative to seat warmers.
I guess because people messing with their phones while driving just wasn't stupid and dangerous enough, they invented phone holders for motorcycles. You really don't need your phone when you ride. It is just a distraction. No, you don't need your GPS. You are not Noralee, your boots don't itch, and you are not riding anywhere you need turn by turn directions. Get over it, you hipster doofuses.
transition/photochronic/photogray visors shields are not all they’re talked up to be. depending on conditions, transition periods can last several minutes during which you may see ghost-like shadows in your visor. Your visual depth of field (sense of perspective) may also be flattened or otherwise distorted. The conditions in which these things happen include tunnels, street lights at night, and shady country roads. Even overcast sky can cause distortion in what you see through a transition visor. Essentially, any time the light is not uniform, even a little bit, your transition visor is going to transition, or at least try to.
Well i prefer Motorola two way radios over any other Bluetooth device Radios looks more cool professional nicer and better of you add a whole kit like PTT button on your bar and speakers mic to your helmet and wire it all up it's like a motocop
I don't need a throttle lock, because all longer rides are on highways with 70 mph+ speed limits, and for my little 250, that's throttle all the way open lol
What if you bought a craiglist special that runs great but doesn't have a working speedo? A gps speedo is a handy solution. Plus it will be accurate unlike the optimistic factory speedos. Even if you've got decades of driving experience there's no comparison in speed feel. No TH-cam video will teach a baby squid what 75 feels like on a bike. And in most cases to someone new 45 on a bike feels like 75 in a car, 85 on a bike is mach a billion.
I have a Chinese replica of a Ninja 300, I love the bike, it’s great for learning but the speedometer is way off. So I got a Rokform mount, I use a speedo app that is accurate (tested in my car) makes me feel more comfortable learning. Im a chick with anxiety and I was wondering why ppl were tailgating, I was going about 35 in a 45 and didn’t know haha
NO, do not get a transitional visor. Your retina opens and closes dependant on light but a transitional visor opens your retina without giving you UV protection. Do you remember how people laughed at Trump for looking into an eclipse? Yah, same thing except every day. Eyewear needs to be polarised when tinted.
I live in the frozen wasteland of North Carolina and yeah, trickle charger. I've had my bike for 2 years and both winters I've had to replace the battery because it's been hopelessly flat, even when it barely gets below freezing for a couple months
phone on handlebars. bs. bad idea. and of course thats no. 1 on the list from a millenial vlogger. of course! gotta have my phone screen up while driving/riding. (smh) just as bad as cagers. cant live w/out their phone in front of them at all times (distracting them). Oh, I can make n take calls on my bike just fine, and get voice gps, listen to music from it, or tune in on FM all in my sena 10c pro. and a camera too. had tried the phone on bars or somewhere but can u make n take calls on it?. w/out running a earplug and leaning over shouting at it, or wiring a mic also?. can u see it on sunny days?. isnt sunny days damaging it from heat?., yes. isnt it's fragile little circuit board an solders being vibrated at a high frequency and absorbing all the shocks from the bumps ?., yes. dont they fall off sometimes... any mount?., yes. certainly any fall over theyre going flying or smashed or both. u probably crashed cos u were diddling with the dang phone, so lern and buy a new one for a grand. + new fairings grips levers, helmet jacket boots gloves and very possible ER room visit. jacket pocket, backpack, even front jeans pocket would be better if u must take it along. I CAN make take calls but I never have answered one or made one riding. I ride to get away from screens and life and stress, I dont even listen to music, or wear earplugs. I want the full visceral experience. nothing else.
You know yammie is so helpful and funny and creative about his content and needs millions of subs but I’m glad he doesn’t because when people get that famous then they kinda become unreachable but their fans
Throttle lock? Is that a real thing? Sounds super dangerous lol at least with cruise control it auto turns off when breaks are applied. I wish my bike had CC.... and by CC I do mean 1000 more CC's
Number 8 - ever heard about blende/shutter, that basically works like mechanically foldable tinted visor? I personally have photochromatic glasses, and they fucking suck.
If you find yourself taping together something that used to be your turn signal more than a few times a year you might consider something like bark busters. They also save your hands if you go down hard.
So for #2. Do I need to buy one for both my helmet and my girlfriend helmet on the back of the motorcycle? Or do I just install one and we both connect
LOL helmet gloves jacket and pants and boots 5 must have accessories, the 6th a real riders class a racing class. Those are first 6 things every street rider needs the rest is BS and fine but not needed, just wanted. I never had any of the ones on the list of his 10 ridden for decades the gear and class was all I needed to ride anywhere any time from a 10 mile blast to fats one real stop for rest ride from alabama to miami and back on a ninja 600. Not one thing on his list did I need for any real ride, all great things but must have is total BS. gear skill and bike is all that is a must have
Everybody in the world must have an extremely bright phone that they can see in the sunlight. I know my samsung sure can't. Kind of leaving a phone mount useless. I put in into my tankbag. Just another thing to take your concentration off the road.
Phone mount is the dumbest thing on this list. If you wreck your bike and you cant get to your phone then what?? Phone should be in your front pocket! Get a dedicated GPS if that's what you use your phone for.
I wish you would stop with the crappy meme photos and get straight to the point dude same with the excessive incessant talking along with the pictures trying to be funny. Give the list and stop milking the minutes on the video for that ad revenue.
Don’t mount your phone on the handlebars, the vibes will kill the sensitive electronics, esp. an iPhone and you risk becoming distracted by the phone at a critical moment.
Came to say the same thing. If you care about having a fully-functioning camera on your phone, don't mount it to your bike. Over time the vibrations will destroy the stabilisation/focusing components. I'd rather get a dedicated satnav than have a potentially broken camera.
when I bought my vstrom I threw the catalog on it. I wish it had cruise control as I haven't found a throttle lock I like after trying a few types. The best investments I made in accessories though is heated grips, heated Corbin seat, the hand guards, and a center stand. As well as almost everything else on the list. It's a great bike for sure but that being said there's no way I'd want bags on my z900. it's all about the riding you'll do with it
The only issues are reliability can be hit and miss and parts availability when something does break. I would buy something from one of the bigger manufacturers just to make sure you aren't stuck buying parts online and waiting for weeks for them to arrive when something does break. There is one dealership within a few hundred miles of me and it is 2 hours away. Your area may be different but here it is an absolute no just based on that factor.
Hey!!!! Cooks Corner! I live right around the corner from that place. It's awesome! If you are ever in Orange County, CA you have to stop by and check it out.
All good suggestions, but i guess i don't really use any of them. I ride scooters so no real handlebars, they are under plastics. I have been using strong velcro for real long time with and old phone for a speedometer. I have a cheap mount on my tmax i too Took the plastics off to do so. Only use that with gps if using though. I live in the midwest and have never used anything heated, and i ride until very late in the year just before the first major snow forecast. I am paranoid about that battery drain. Larger snowmobile gloves or latex gloves under normal ones. My current helmet has a flip down visor, good to know they have color changing ones though. My tmax has a tender wire hooked up i never use. I take the batteries out every year and no good access to plug at moment anyhow.
@@StrawDragon Or the dude might not like dealing with changing gears. A Tmax isn't some weak 50cc scooter. Hell my daily rider is a 550cc scooter and it's way more practical for that than my track bike. Bikes funner of course.

Combine the tank bag and phone mount by getting a tank bag with the clear window and phone holder. You can carry snacks, extra batteries for your GoPro and other essentials. Or if you are in Flint Michigan like I am you can carry a backup gun and a bunch of extra loaded magazines. 🤣
Yep not only is that practical, but it may also save your phone camera by transmitting less vibrations.
how do you intend to use your pistol though? Just pull in the clutch and coast or are you left handed?
@@ChrisG1392 Good question. Maybe he has cruise control.

Essentially, any time the light is not uniform, even a little bit, your transition visor is going to transition, or at least try to.
Yammi Noob clearly has good taste in music, clearly being a casual Chopin enjoyer
Won't a phone mount shake most phones image stabilizers in there cameras to peaces
My vote goes to the electric vest/jacket Best MC investment to extend the riding season IMHO And this is a good list
Yammie always teaches me the best way to spend all my life savings👍
your cool fact at the end, i would like to see you guys use your excess bubble wrap and make an accent wall for videos. maybe try painting it XD
I am upset at this video because you didn’t insult me and my choice in bikes.
Well i prefer Motorola two way radios over any other Bluetooth device
Radios looks more cool professional nicer and better of you add a whole kit like PTT button on your bar and speakers mic to your helmet and wire it all up it's like a motocop
I do not think "essential" is the right word for most of these... more like "very nice to have"
To sum it all up. Buy a bagger and a lock, got it.
I don't need a throttle lock, because all longer rides are on highways with 70 mph+ speed limits, and for my little 250, that's throttle all the way open lol
LOL
The handle bar phone mount has these motorcycle TH-camrs in a chokehold. Especially as a beginner you should not be looking at a phone while riding.
What if you bought a craiglist special that runs great but doesn't have a working speedo? A gps speedo is a handy solution. Plus it will be accurate unlike the optimistic factory speedos. Even if you've got decades of driving experience there's no comparison in speed feel. No TH-cam video will teach a baby squid what 75 feels like on a bike. And in most cases to someone new 45 on a bike feels like 75 in a car, 85 on a bike is mach a billion.
I discovered a free frameslider first time I got on a bike, my ankle
All of this stuff is not necessary. The last thing I’m worried about while I’m out on the monster is what’s going on on my bloody phone 😂
I have a Chinese replica of a Ninja 300, I love the bike, it’s great for learning but the speedometer is way off. So I got a Rokform mount, I use a speedo app that is accurate (tested in my car) makes me feel more comfortable learning. Im a chick with anxiety and I was wondering why ppl were tailgating, I was going about 35 in a 45 and didn’t know haha
NO, do not get a transitional visor. Your retina opens and closes dependant on light but a transitional visor opens your retina without giving you UV protection. Do you remember how people laughed at Trump for looking into an eclipse? Yah, same thing except every day. Eyewear needs to be polarised when tinted.
I live in the frozen wasteland of North Carolina and yeah, trickle charger. I've had my bike for 2 years and both winters I've had to replace the battery because it's been hopelessly flat, even when it barely gets below freezing for a couple months
phone on handlebars. bs. bad idea. and of course thats no. 1 on the list from a millenial vlogger. of course! gotta have my phone screen up while driving/riding. (smh) just as bad as cagers.
cant live w/out their phone in front of them at all times (distracting them).
Oh, I can make n take calls on my bike just fine, and get voice gps, listen to music from it, or tune in on FM all in my sena 10c pro. and a camera too.
had tried the phone on bars or somewhere but can u make n take calls on it?. w/out running a earplug and leaning over shouting at it, or wiring a mic also?.
can u see it on sunny days?. isnt sunny days damaging it from heat?., yes. isnt it's fragile little circuit board an solders being vibrated at a high frequency and absorbing all the shocks from the bumps ?., yes.
dont they fall off sometimes... any mount?., yes. certainly any fall over theyre going flying or smashed or both. u probably crashed cos u were diddling with the dang phone, so lern and buy a new one for a grand. + new fairings grips levers, helmet jacket boots gloves and very possible ER room visit.
jacket pocket, backpack, even front jeans pocket would be better if u must take it along. I CAN make take calls but I never have answered one or made one riding.
I ride to get away from screens and life and stress, I dont even listen to music, or wear earplugs. I want the full visceral experience. nothing else.
You know yammie is so helpful and funny and creative about his content and needs millions of subs but I’m glad he doesn’t because when people get that famous then they kinda become unreachable but their fans
Heaving the phone mount is dangerous actually. All it takes is just a split second...I saw examples. So no, it is not must have.....
Throttle lock? Is that a real thing? Sounds super dangerous lol at least with cruise control it auto turns off when breaks are applied. I wish my bike had CC.... and by CC I do mean 1000 more CC's
Number 8 - ever heard about blende/shutter, that basically works like mechanically foldable tinted visor? I personally have photochromatic glasses, and they fucking suck.
If you find yourself taping together something that used to be your turn signal more than a few times a year you might consider something like bark busters. They also save your hands if you go down hard.
I hate free advice. Especially if it's sound advice. Absolutely chaps my ass when it's spot on, life changing advice. Nothing irritates me more
So for #2. Do I need to buy one for both my helmet and my girlfriend helmet on the back of the motorcycle? Or do I just install one and we both connect
"Say your out on the road listening to a novelization of wild hogs" ... Dammit how did you know ? 🤣🤣 Fucksakes yammie 😂
LOL helmet gloves jacket and pants and boots 5 must have accessories, the 6th a real riders class a racing class. Those are first 6 things every street rider needs the rest is BS and fine but not needed, just wanted. I never had any of the ones on the list of his 10 ridden for decades the gear and class was all I needed to ride anywhere any time from a 10 mile blast to fats one real stop for rest ride from alabama to miami and back on a ninja 600. Not one thing on his list did I need for any real ride, all great things but must have is total BS. gear skill and bike is all that is a must have
Everybody in the world must have an extremely bright phone that they can see in the sunlight. I know my samsung sure can't. Kind of leaving a phone mount useless. I put in into my tankbag. Just another thing to take your concentration off the road.
For the bagger haters, 1/2 this list doesn't apply to us Daddy Baggers.
Phone mount is the dumbest thing on this list. If you wreck your bike and you cant get to your phone then what?? Phone should be in your front pocket! Get a dedicated GPS if that's what you use your phone for.
I wish you would stop with the crappy meme photos and get straight to the point dude same with the excessive incessant talking along with the pictures trying to be funny. Give the list and stop milking the minutes on the video for that ad revenue.
Don’t mount your phone on the handlebars, the vibes will kill the sensitive electronics, esp. an iPhone and you risk becoming distracted by the phone at a critical moment.
Came to say the same thing. If you care about having a fully-functioning camera on your phone, don't mount it to your bike. Over time the vibrations will destroy the stabilisation/focusing components.
I'd rather get a dedicated satnav than have a potentially broken camera.
7:12 I searched for a photochromic visor for my helmet which is a Shark Spartan Carbon but I can only find ones for Shoei helmets 😞
#2 comms: why comm system as opposed to wearing AirPods which can be used for music, communication etc?
Me: don’t get offended
Yammie instantly: you probably wear suspenders
Me: shit
Pay attention the road, pull over and check your phone if you’re not sure where you’re going
Kind of funny. Those neon lights under your bike, they are a illegal mod in my country. Lightmod on the helmet is also illegal sadly
Dude love your videos but can u change the background music please get some form NCS or sum
Ayoo im a one wheel but this will help. Trust me. I'm going to super glue two of them together. Give me week I'll tell you if I'm alive.
Transition glasses are just as functional 😂😂😂😂 why carry multiple pairs 😅
How dare you give me good advice. I LOVE IT!!
humans messed it up the first time, Do it again , Does not matter who, or how many, You kill. Just as long as you get what YOU Want
Too much trying to sound clever and funny to the point I didn't want to watch any more of this channel.
Would a sena outrush helmet be able to take the place of a com system like cardo? Or is it more helpful to have one or the other, or both
my god papa your a genius these are so helpful and just a good idea
No phone mounts work on my CBR-125R damnit
Come in from recess looking like Neo from the matrix. So fucking funny 😂
What is the accessory in the right of the thumbnail ? The one with the additional buttons ?
I'm offended by free advice. 😤
Thank you for this.
I like the content but WAY TO MUCH FILLER TALK.
tooo fkn funny- lotion, Buccees rukes!! great advice YN
Why do you play classical music in your background? It is annoying.
There ain't no motorcycle mounts for a Samsung z fold 3 :(
Would a ninja 250 be a good starting bike?
I have a sena spider rf1 and i can barely hear my music. any suggestions?
What’s a “No-kia”? Is that an american version of a “Nokky -a”?
when I bought my vstrom I threw the catalog on it. I wish it had cruise control as I haven't found a throttle lock I like after trying a few types. The best investments I made in accessories though is heated grips, heated Corbin seat, the hand guards, and a center stand. As well as almost everything else on the list. It's a great bike for sure but that being said there's no way I'd want bags on my z900. it's all about the riding you'll do with it
I’m looking for a good heated coffee cup holder… Yammie store got one?
Yes that’s exactly what it looks like when I don’t have heated grips
"early April Midwest riders". Me riding this year is February in Michigan
Something to add would be an air compressor. Small battery powered if you have a place to store it
what do people think of hyosung gt125r?
Got one myself, personally think its great, not as fast as things like the YZFR, but handles nicely and is relatively smooth
The only issues are reliability can be hit and miss and parts availability when something does break. I would buy something from one of the bigger manufacturers just to make sure you aren't stuck buying parts online and waiting for weeks for them to arrive when something does break. There is one dealership within a few hundred miles of me and it is 2 hours away. Your area may be different but here it is an absolute no just based on that factor.
I brought my clutch lever on my 2019 r3 and it took almost 2 weeks to get a replacement because of shipping and it having to come from Japan.
I was about to buy a bike this month, nice timing!
Hey!!!! Cooks Corner! I live right around the corner from that place. It's awesome! If you are ever in Orange County, CA you have to stop by and check it out.
How about a satellite emergency communication device?
All good suggestions, but i guess i don't really use any of them. I ride scooters so no real handlebars, they are under plastics. I have been using strong velcro for real long time with and old phone for a speedometer. I have a cheap mount on my tmax i too Took the plastics off to do so. Only use that with gps if using though. I live in the midwest and have never used anything heated, and i ride until very late in the year just before the first major snow forecast. I am paranoid about that battery drain. Larger snowmobile gloves or latex gloves under normal ones. My current helmet has a flip down visor, good to know they have color changing ones though. My tmax has a tender wire hooked up i never use. I take the batteries out every year and no good access to plug at moment anyhow.
This video is for motorcycles, not scooters... :) So doesnt apply to those who like the wind on their vag...
@@StrawDragon Or the dude might not like dealing with changing gears. A Tmax isn't some weak 50cc scooter.
Hell my daily rider is a 550cc scooter and it's way more practical for that than my track bike.
Bikes funner of course.
