Dude, you deserve so many more subscribers. You're answering so many questions I have (and used to have) with all of the topics
All good things in time... And a lot of hard work.
ThisLifeRiding I hope you can turn this into a fulltime job mate. By the way, do you have ANY plans for upgrading? Not that I mind the ninja 300, not at all. But it's usually inevitable for long time riders. Maybe something like a 500 or ninja 650?
You're new here aren't you? lol.
Mmh, ATM, no. I think I would love to get additional bikes but I don't think I'm getting a more powerful bike any time soon. I would love a DRZ-400 and some type of smaller cruiser but other then that, no. I started on an 1100 cruiser, so the Ninja 300 was my upgrade... to something more manageable.
Or you can ride a GSXR and then you don't have to worry about gear! lol. good video though, that is a common problem for me as well.
... Not sure I see the connection but thanks.
He was alluding to the fact that most squids = gsxr riders lol..
yeah. just a play on the stereotype that "gixxer" riders always seem to be wearing flip flops and shorts lol.
Haha, cool.
I mainly want to know where to store it if I go somewhere like Walmart.
SharkXOmega he put his gear in his cart.
I work in a large supermarket and I always leave my gear upstairs in the computer room. It's only a very small room with 4 computers in, but I work nights as well so that really helps because the computer room is generally only used by day staff so it's always empty. The lockers in work are too damn small anyway to even think about fitting even some of my gear in there.
The most annoying thing I find is when I'm going the gym. They have two sets of lockers - one by the main entrance in the open and in the changing rooms. I have to walk across the gym (it's pretty large) to get changed in the locker room, then walk back out across the gym to the entrance because the lockers in the locker room are too small to store my bag, motorbike gear and helmet, lol.
The struggle is real.
I'm 19 and I want a ninja 300 how much would the insurance be I live in texas
No sure, I would suggest getting a quote from your local insurance provider.
Bryan Bro You can get a quote online from any larger company. I suggest getting local insurance (avoid the larger companies) because its usually (not always) cheaper. I'm in CO so I couldn't tell yah numbers sadly but it should be less than 100$ a month. If yah can pay for the entire year its usually a lot cheaper than monthly payments. But there are so many variables it mostly lands on your driving record. I've been looking into it and if you do a msf course (150-300$) than insurance will usually be a little cheaper because your showing that you want to ride safely.
$25-$50 a month, if you pay the year in full you will save more
Just got a 300. I've been enjoying your vids, your one of the better moto vloggers on yt. Thanks for the vids!
Ninja 300 has a helmet hook (two actually) under the pillion seat. I always put my gloves in the helmet and hang the helmet from the hook. Needs to be a double d-ring system but keeps the helmet locked and you don't need to carry it around
I live in the Midwest and ride almost everyday except when either salt or snow is on the ground...I sold my car but we still have a family car for the wife and kid... The biggest issue I have is when it is in the teens to the mid thirties the bike never gets up to Temp and runs rich causing a fumy exhaust that gets on you.
The question is: at work, where do you change your clothes from motorcycle gear to working clothes?
With all the money you saved riding the bike you probably should or could get a new r3 or maybe something bigger.
Haha, I could get something bigger, but who says I want to.
hey Johnathan. I'm keen to get a bike but hardly even know the basics of riding. where should I start and how? also to past the test what are the essential things to know?
Best place to start is take the local MSF course if you are in the United States. Training is the best place to start because you will learn how to ride, get your license, and meet some cool people who are also interested in riding. Training will start you on the right foot and make sure you have all the right skills to stay safe and have fun. It will also help you choose your first bike as you will be better informed about riding and what you might like. Training is the best place to start.
Honestly I just carry my jacket around all the time and throw it on my seat. My bike has a hook under the seat for my helmet. I just wear the rest everywhere. For work, employers are required to give you a place to put your personal belongings. Just throw it in a locker or break room or office. Only time I carry the helmet is when I might rain cause I like a dry helmet to put on. Only thing questionable in this video is how it cuts down travel time. When I ride over driving my car I give myself 5 or 10 extra minutes for gear on and off plus I let my bike warm up more cause carburetor.
Nice info. I hadn't considered adding time for putting on or taking off gear. I usually do it while walking in our out of a place. In other words, no extra time is taken because I do it int he same time someone would walk tot their car. I realize that is no the same for everyone. Also, I have the tendency to move through traffic more quickly on my bike then in a car. Thanks for the info and feedback man. Very helpful.
No pants or boots?
Sliding thru the notifications First!
Nice dude.
you could also buy a helmet lock to
Ahhh the woes of riding a sportbike or any stripped down bike for that mater. LOL I have had saddle bags & tail bag, or a trop case, or panniers & top case, or with the maxi-scooter a huge under seat storage + top case. Thing is with the bikes I ride I always have somewhere *on the bike* to store my gear. But I can understand how many face a dilemma of where to put stuff if they don't have on bike storage. Great vid man! Have a safe and wonderful week!
Thanks.
3:10 (close up) I don't know. I'm not a woman. LMAO
Hahaha
I really hope you got a bigger bike by now.
thnx for the video btw and i appreciate ur time to share ur knowledge man
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Since its been a while riding bikes for me my son is interested in getting a bike so I am thinking 2 bikes did my research and its going to be 2 2017 ninja 300's white for me and blue for him. Sorry I digress Have you done a gear vid yet I like the what your using what to look for? Maybe a vid on the jeans jacket gloves boots that type of thing. Great stuff I am relearning a lot.
I have a really old gear video. Here is a link: goo.gl/zfkdvB I will probably do a new gear video here soon after I do my new jacket reveal.
Interesting subject to talk about. Wearing the appropriate gear for your situation helps a lot. If you've nowhere to get changed then wear overtrousers and not full leathers etc so you can take them off and keep your clothes on underneath. Takes a bit of planning sometimes but thats half the fun!
Agree with LeanderRandom's comment that u deserve more subscribers.
Haha, thanks man.
How do you deal with the extreme hot weather in AZ Summers withou car?
dude where did you get your jacket & the helmet? both look dope!
good video & topic
Not taking a shot at you just curious, but you know the ninja 300 has a built in helmet lock under the rear seat, right? I never carry my helmet with me, it stays on the bike.
Does it keep the helmet from getting stolen? I'm asking seriously because I am new too
The supermarket is one of the worst places I've found to need somewhere to stash your gear. Too hot to wear it. Need your arms free, so can't carry it. Not safe to leave it on the bike in the parking lot. I tend to meet up with someone there who has a car and put my gear on their backseat while we go into the shopping centre.
KiLL3RK10wN I try to do the same. just can't trust people but I see a lot of people who just leave their helmets sitting on the bike. I just deal with carrying it an wearing my jacket
I just stick my stuff in the shopping cart. That seems to work fine for me.
What if you are visiting a waterfall or something , which you need to park your bike and need to walk like for 3 or 4 km , what will you do then?
i thought of taking a bag like tank bag or some other bag.
Throw over saddle bags might not be a bad idea.
Hey man! Where did you get your jacket? Been meaning to take a look at Cycle gear for some new gear but haven't got around to it yet.
This is one of Cycle Gear's generic summer mesh jackets. It was a gift. I don't recommend Cycle Gear's stuff though. Built is like the Great Value of the motorcycle world.
Great topic and nice tips & tricks! My biggest annoyance is if I am off on a day trip and want to stop at a scenic spot and do a little hike. I only have use a tailpack-20 and a cbr250 so no much in the way of storage space lol. Great vlog/editing & you have the knack to keep the engagement up there. I actually wear my A* SMX6 boots to work and they are really super comfy, even given I am on my feet for up to 6 hrs. I added gel cushions for some extra height so that may help with the comfort. Cheers!
Cool man. Have you considered getting some throw over saddle bags that could fit your gear? Give you a place to stow it on those hikes.
ThisLifeRiding yes totally! That is an excellent idea and really one I should definitely do 👍. I travel "light" but the gear sure takes up space! lol
No joke.
thx for the tips. you know I've been riding for yrs. I haven't rode in 5 yrs but all those urs I never wore a helmet. I told u I'm getting a ninja 300 in a few weeks. and my wife wants me to wear a helmet at least. my argument is this it is uncomfortable you can't see very well and hear . I know it can save your life. and since it's been a while since I rode people have changed especially since smart phones and distracted driving. what do you think about modular helmets . me ND a buddy rode for yrs. in the summer we wore shorts t shirt sunglasses. I know it's not safe. but a helmet to me Is a problem.
Mmh, Modular helmets are fine. Here is a video that might reflect some of my considerations about should you wear gear. goo.gl/IbB8Md
Your wife and brain will thank you man!
Good tips! Havent started to actually take the bike for any errands but ill keep an eye on where to stick my gear LOL
Nice, thanks man.
You weren't doing skids while there was a service where you? Lol
Haha, hope not.
this has just opened up my world to where to stow my stuff.
Haha, cool man. Glad I could help.
an my college I typically see people leaving their helms on their bikes.
Most bikes do come with some form of helmet locks nowadays.
Why not simply hem your jeans? It's a fairly common practice and is inexpensive.
Haha, I have rocked the roles up pants look for years now. Haven't seen a need to changed yet. Plus, small secret. I actually sowed them by hand so they stay rolled up.
Fair enough.
Good advice, on my Kawasaki 650 I can lock my helmet on the bike
I can do the same on the Ninja but the Arizona sun is so harsh here. I think it would ruin any helmet left outside for long.
Have you ever been chased down by someone wanting to run you down or run you off the road?
Not on purpose. I have been forced off the road a couple of times on accident though.
I have only been riding for 3 months and I have already had someone try to run me down on my bike. I guess I have to GIT GUD to avoid them more thoroughly. Lane splitting helps quite a bit though. I always hated VW Beatles now I have an excuse.
always beneficial, see you tomorrow thanks
Thanks dude. See you on the live stream.
amen to keeping an extra pair of boots at work
No joke.
Im gonna be just like you one day!
Cool dude. Can't wait.

+Lance1445

ThisLifeRiding ya I'm not sure

Do they? Its been a long time since I've been i the school system my friend.
Am in the 11 grade and they don't have lockers just for pe do not for books and stuff
Hmm, times keep changing.
Yup
Can you do a video on the top things that annoy you about riding?
Thats easy. People who ask me to make videos about about what annoy me about riding. ;) Good idea. I'll add it to the docket.
