As a cyclist and a biker, the positive vibe of your crew and respectful road interactions both ways made me smile. Nice vid and riding guys.
We're all just out there trying to enjoy the same stretch of road and it was pretty funny
NgoMoto PITTY!!! not one of you guys didn't clock his speed! NEVERTHELESS! he was going some. That last vehicle just ahead (truck) the driver was DELIBERATELY!!! driving like a TOTAL PLEB! 😡👎. 💩head to be really honest. Not letting the cyclist pass ( knowing he wanted to pass) Quite amusing to see a cyclist not only keep up with motorbikes but pass you lot. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
honestly if i was the truck driver i would be really sketched out to let someone pass me on a bicycle doing what looked like 80kph on sketchy windy roads. it would have been amazing to see him pass the truck too, but way to dangerous
If he's really wanted to pass, he would've gone on the left. You want space to maneouvre in that situation. I've passed cars on windy descents on my bike before, and there's no way I'd look to their left unless there was a MASSIVE shoulder.
It's also worth pointing out that by sitting behind the truck, he's getting something like a 20-30% efficiency increase at fast descent speeds. Chances are, he was just having a look around it, and while that doesn't change the fact that the truck was blocking him, my bet is he was just getting a bit of a rest from chasing motorcycles.
Cedrick Gousse dang. How fast was that?
“Uh oh Stan he’s catching us!”
“What? We’re going 55!”
As a cyclist, the mutual respect gives me joy and hope. Keep on being awesome!
The reason cyclist don't get the mutual respect they crave is because they always act like they own the road and everyone should get out of their way. They also don't give a shit if they ride 2, 3, 4 wide on a narrow mountain road holding up traffic behind them.
TJ yes, ALL cyclists ALL act like they own the road...
I was just up on Glendora Mt Road yesterday and as I'm coming around a corner two cyclists were just chilling in the middle of my lane. I damn near had to lay the bike down because of those fucking idiots. My blood was boiling to the point where I had to just leave otherwise I was going to do something really stupid. Fuck all cyclists.
TJ, ever heard the phrase "expect the unexpected"?
People like TJ are the whiniest fuckers on earth. He went to fast around a corner, then he had to leave because he wanted to assault people. He's the common denominator but it's everyone else that's the problem.
You know that bicyclist was SO happy about this! :) This is why I like motorcyclists, I always feel they are our 'big brothers' on the road. At least the cool ones, like these guys!
DFTA (Don't Feed The Animals) bicycling suck ass think rules don't apply to them on the road
Archie Bunker Chill down, old man.
Archie Bunker
Shot in the dark: you're a right voter.
Archie Bunker Bike paths in America suck. They’re pretty much always gravel, or if they are pavement they’re never maintained. The only bike paths (besides mtb trails) are more geared towards families/very casual riders, so where should people who actually want a challenging ride go?
ThePursuit OfSymmetry
He would't if he was able to see behind my whole reasoning. But he is not.
As a cyclist myself, putting in the effort to catch a draft like this is so much fun...he was probably loving every minute of it! What a great ride
Hes got the legs for sure
ZZ Top were in the three trucks, they were filming their new retake on Legs.
Nah, you'd be surprised at the speed gains when you're behind anything that's bumping the wind for you. Especially if it's downhill. Even with MTBs on flats, you could go 70+ Kph for 10s of kms no problem.
Noi Jadis Cailleach You're saying you could do 45 mph on a mountain bike??? Good luck m8
I'm saying i did. Also, it's normal with those conditions. You could ask anyone who does XCs, not those who only do mountains.
It's downhill. Just with that factor alone, you could be freewheeling with a roadbike at 50Kph. Just give it a little spin and go 10-15Kph faster. If there is a lump of object hitting the head wind even if it's 15 meters away and not directly in front of you, you could surely feel how much less power you need to push your speed some more. DH just made it 3x easier.
Coolest motorcyclists on TH-cam, wish everyone could get along like this.
Thanks! It would be nice if we could all just respect each other
Most bikers are cool and respectful of other road users, sadly the ones that aren't get all the airtime and give the rest a bad name.
Shows how ignorant and ignorant you all are here: the motorcyclist called the truck driver a dick for driving safely and obeying the laws of the road. Have a good trip to the morgue, fellows.
Owe you blokes a beer.
My kind of people, it aint what you ride that's important, it's THAT you ride!
Ride free
well said
It's HOW you ride rather.
Ride on brother!
mulgerbill Exactly mate. What every road users attitude should be. Live and let ride. Respect and well said. 👊
mulgerbill, agreed. It kinda grinds my gears when fellow motorcyclists don't give me the "biker wave" when I'm on my motorized bicycle, which they NEVER do. If only they knew how awesome my bike is... I put a lot of time, effort, and money into it, and now it goes 40mph, and it's only a 48cc. A statically super-charged little monster. 😅 $30,000 dollars of automotive school knowledge, and it all goes into my bike!
When I traded down from a 955 cc Triumph Sport bike to the smaller Yamaha R3 my rider buddies laughed at me. After three years of me riding with them they don't laugh now because I ride just as fast as I always did. I just can't ride 160 mph (but then I never did).
These are the type of people you wanna encounter during your commute / workout.
SUV Tropics those are the type of people you want to encounter through life 😎
Yeah a biker that can't hear a horn and is completely oblivious to his mirrors.
Her: Baby come home
Cyclist: I can't darling, I'm cycling!

I ride both type of bikes and this video made me smile :) The attitude of the group, the respect.
Henrik Rónai I don’t ride any bike but I do my best to respect the road. I live in the mountains and love all forms of travel!! 🇨🇦
YouDontKnow uhm... What...?
YouDontKnow
As a neutral 3rd party that couldn't care less about the bicycle vs motorcycle flame wars, I confidently announce you bad in the head.
I have been riding pushbikes for 63 years now and motorcycles for more than 50 of those also. I have met many nice people on motorbikes, in cars, in trucks and in buses. I have also met some ratbags. Nice people remain nice people no matter what they are doing. The other kind just ruin everyone else's day.
I'm a biker and race bicycles... we are way more similar than a lot of people think. Two wheels is two wheels! Nice to see the mutual respect!
used to ride bike in the black hills every year back when Sturgis started getting big, never had a problem with guys on motos; cars- that was almost always a headache.
Thats the way i see it. They are our big brothers on two wheels but have an engine. They take the some of the same risks we take.
You mean their engine aint hidden like yours? ;)
The person riding the bicycle is the engine
As a cyclist only I share with you bikers the same mutual feeling. We are exposed to similar threats on the road.
Its fun and games for the cyclist until the next climb. lol
That's where you earn the downhill fun and get the power.
Andreas Hoppe those bikers probably will pull him up lol
See, that is what most disciplines involving bikes are about. You get to have incredible fun going downhill but you have to earn it with climbing.
So the goal in cycling is the same as in real life - earn fast, spend faster :)
The endorphins from such a fun downhill will help pull him up the next hill, as well as all that energy he saved sitting in the draft for such a long time.
earn fast and spend faster? sounds a recipe for debt
Serious kudos to you fellas. Respectful decent road users. Well done :)
this bike crew is so cool, love how they give way to the cyclist. salute
Several years ago I was around Morrison, CO coming off a steep hill on my Harley. I was running about 45 to 50. I had a cyclist over take me. It was pretty cool to see. I kept up with him for awhile and then backed off. It was awesome.
Awesome video! Bicyclists and motorcyclists are all in the same boat when it comes to cagers. They don't see us, don't hear us, and can easily ruin our day. You guys showing the love is pretty awesome!
Right, like that one biker who's absolutely oblivious to his rear and doesn't check the side mirror once in a while and doesn't even respond to his mates honking.
Um the dude was literally on the motorcycles rear wheel forever. Guy was not checking his mirrors or responding to horn honks. Not the guy i wanna be on road with. What if one of his buddies had gone down or broke he wouldn't have noticed till he noticed he was alone
95% true whereI live. We have twisty mountain roads that are shared with weekend warriors on sportbikes - - hence cyclists avoid the mountains on weekends. Some of the younger guys treat the cyclists like road pylons to slalom.
When you cant afford a motorcycle but you still wanna hang out with your homies
The crazy thing is, a lot of high-end road bicycles can be more expensive than a new sport bike (e.g. Trek Madone 9.9 = $16K cdn, Honda CBR600RR = $14k cdn)! Add on things like quality pedals, saddle, and something like a crank-based power meter and you can be pushing $18k. Hell, a good set of aero carbon wheels alone are $3-4k (which all high-end bikes come with)! The high-end bike market is getting stupid to be honest. :)
LOL actually a high end road bicycle costs just as much or more than a brand new sportbike...
Hammie my mountain bike cost more than a lot of used cars on the roads. I mean no disrespect towards you but that’s not a Walmart bike. The cyclist probably paid a pretty good penny for it
Hangover Gang unless it’s used :)
Digitalfiendscom it doesn’t have deep wheels nor does it look like disc brake so hey that takes off a good grand or two lmao
Mutual respect, nice job. The cyclist actually appeared stuck behind the trucks as well. At a 5-8% downhill grade, a cyclist can easily do 80kph and even 100kph+ with good wheels, gearing, tailwind or a draft from a motorcycle or truck. I am sure he was grinning from ear to ear hanging with you guys and thrilled you let him through.
Ride On!! 👍👍
You guys are awesome! My interactions with motorcyclists have usually been positive. I had one guy wave me around him on a very fast and twisty descent. Later he told me that he enjoyed the way I attacked the curves, and he figured if I could make it on my bike, he could make it on his motorcycle!
Oh, really fab. I've been a racing cyclist for 50 years and I've always admired out motorbike friends for their mastery of scary technology and comradeship!
That cyclist must've been turning at least 53 x 13, RESPECT!
As a cyclist I admire your good spirit and attitude. I feel good knowing I have other two-wheeler comrades on the road :-)
If only all road users were as switched on and respectful as you guys. Ride safe. Respect. 👊
Greet video and even better attitude! It is very refreshing to see and hear people being kind and stoked for others. Thanks!
These motorcyclists are tremendously good Sports ☺
I love this video, this is great to see, I think he is actually a professional rider out on a training run.
Great respect from you guys and even greater how you got your mate to move over.
Big love from here!
I love it! As a long time cyclist and newly qualified motorcyclist !
Back when I had a 12-speed Huffy as a kid, I got a speeding ticket on it going down a steep long hill on a highway. The motorcycle cop said I was going 65mph in a 55mph zone. He pulled me over at the bottom. This was 1976, before GoPro/handy cams. -)
TQQdles™
good vibe posse!
As a cyclist and a biker, I can say that cycling is so much more fun than biking. You feel the air on your body, you feel your body, you enjoy the workout, you can smell and listen to nature. Food tastes so much better afterwards...
I haven't touched my motorbike since one year already. You should try it. I very much appreciate your respect for the cyclist, that's really cool! There are lots of bikers who go at full throttle when they're directly next to a cyclist, and most of them like noisy exhausts for some childish reason.
It's a fact the biking is better sorry buddy
This is the "Two Wheeled Life"
Motor or not there is and should be respect for anyone on two wheels on the road
I want this guy on my team, I love riding down hills and passing vehicles. his guy did a good job on the straights
You guys are great - wish all motorists were so courteous and considerate!
Probably the best motorcycle riding and etiquette I’ve ever seen in a video. Except for the friend not paying attention lol . No excessive speed, sharing the road. Good stuff!
I can understand the mutual respect. The bikers and cyclists are equally vulnerable to outside forces. The cyclist is fearless. Great vid.
One of the best videos I've seen in this month.
Motorcyclists saved my life when I wrecked my road bike on GMR
the most positive video of bikers. having fun and being chill without feeling the only way to do so is overtake every vehicle you can and bully your way through traffic. I don't ride, but I can really appreciate this - there is a sense of intimidation, sometimes, when I'm getting surrounded by a group of bikers. stay safe.
great attitude you have, as cyclist on Sunrise, Palomar, etc... I'm very appreciative, fun when we all work together on the road. THANKS !
The *RESPECT* you show... thumbs up 👍
Love this video - saw it a couple of years ago and just found it again. So cool to see a friendly group of riders.
A lot of people seem to be saying that the truck was blocking the cyclist but honestly I think the cyclist just wanted to stay behind him. If he passed those other cars he'd lose the draft and be unable to maintain that speed as the road leveled out. Plus if he passed that first truck, he'd end up being sandwiched between two vehicles, which is a bad place to be. I can understand wanting to pass the motorbikes to get the better draft but I don't think he wanted to pass the trucks.
I think that truck convoy was cyclists crew or something. You can see that truck at end is carrying bikes.Also I doubt that this guy would be training up there solo in that gear.
Yeah there were two trucks full of bicycles so I bet they were associated. In any case, passing the truck would not be a good move since there were another tel trucks in front of that one. As a cyclist, I'd rather have my own space behind three trucks than be trapped between two trucks in front and one in back.
Totally agree. Since there was no shoulder/bike lane, it would have been very dangerous to pass the vehicle on the right. I think that the vehicle in front of him was someone he knew.
as a cyclist and motorbike rider i enjoyed every second of this ! i once clocked 102 km/h on my garmin gps going down the backside of the stevia pass on bike
I’ve done this on bicycle before. The motorcycles finally caught up and gave me lots of props. So satisfying passing motorized vehicles on bicycle especially when it’s not on a downhill.
And people say cyclists are slow lol
He was definitely flying
Not slow just a 1:10 hill
How fast?
8 thousand dollar road bike 🚴♀️
@@King-kc4tq Hahaha. I bet you can't ride that fast even if you ride his bike. Bunch of professional keyboard warriors. Keep talking.
Well done guys, letting him pass.
If a cyclist is going fast enough to overtake you, you should probably get out the way
Two wheeler gang! Coming from a current cager and cyclist and one day biker thanks for being an example of what road users should be like. Safe travels 😎
This is awesome, the way you guys handled the situation was the best 👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with the sentiment here, great respect shown by you guys towards the cyclist, awesome to see. Nice vid, thanks!
The truck is not actually blocking the cyclist. The cyclist is drafting it.
Totally did not think this was possible! So much positivity. Much needed in todays social culture. You guys are awesome!
A couple of years ago I was in my car and followed a cyclist downhill for about 5 kms, I was going as fast as I felt comfortable. Big wave at the bottom of the hill, I'm sure he was stoked to have comfortably outperformed me! I was impressed.
And the moral of this story is, don't be like Mike when operating a motor vehicle.
He definitely shouldn't be on the road if he doesn't check his mirrors like that.
@@Krytern maybe he did check them, but was too proud to let the cyclist pass...
FlyingShazbot correct! Mike needs to re-take his riding test.
“loud pipes save lives”
@@lolshark99b49 - So what are your thoughts about helmets? ;-)
damm i miss my cycling days , long distance and upward hill climbing were all i needed to get those Abs
Love the respect ... thank you. As a biker and motorcyclist this restore faith in humanity
Cool to see the positive attitude from you guys. I wish my experience with some bikers as a cyclist was so positive! Keep it up. Mutual respect is what keeps the roads safe.
As soon as mike pulls left, he loses the draft... lol. you guys were so cool for him
Hehe... we're all just up there to have fun
This is a great video! Yeah you were all very cool. For some reason, when I cycle, I think motorocyclist hate me more than car drivers. Good to know there's some good ones out there; makes me rethink my perspective.
David Ward
You're right. We do.
+David Ward those who hate you envy your leg power. Those with self confidence give you respect.
Not envy. Pity.
2 wheels good. 4 wheels bad! As a cyclist I always get respect from bikers. Never a close pass, never an insult. I've even had the 'nod' from bikers. I guess you guys appreciate what it's all about. Freedom. Live and let live.
RelentlessC2C is that an animal farm reference?
RelentlessC2C 4 wheels bad lmao that's why we hate cyclists they think they are above cars
We are.
+MortarRiding cool dude, take your kids to the grocery store on a bike
Wait, you've never seen a bicycle making a grocery run with a lil kid on the back? You need to get outside more often!
Loving this video and the positive chatting. As a cyclist it's nice to have fun with other roadies.
What a great attitude you all have. Heart warming!
Leader says "watch ur right" ...Biker stays on right lol...great video guys
Wasn't on coms
Yes, to be fair, we weren't able to sync comms with Mike, due to having different brand comms. So he could hear anything we were saying.
Yeah I noticed that too. The cyclists should have passed the bikers on the left.
Just like traffic.
that wouldn't be necessarily safer, Tim
NgoMoto aside from him not hearing the literally constant blaring horn. You might want to get him out of your crew before he does something stupid. Really does show you how bullshit the whole “loud pipes saves lives” idea is.
great vibes here. you guys rock!
Thank you!
As a cyclist this is awesome. I've had several positive encounters with motorcyclists and long may they continue :)
Having ridden both, i applaud your cheery attitude. Could do with few more like you guys.
You guys were real cool not look down on him and especially terrific to cheer him on and appreciate his efforts. Me personally, I was scared shirtless watching him draft the pickup truck while thinking about his lack of stopping distance.
...and why would they look down on him?
I am not so sure the cyclist was really wanting to pass the truck but was certainly being "towed" by the slip stream. He would be following close but not center because following that close you want to hang at the side to give yourself a quick alternative should the truck suddenly slow. There would be little point in passing the truck as he would be stuck behind 2 more each being a significant obstacle to safely pass. I would feel more comfortable staying back with motorcycles and just easily maintaining by having the large truck break the wind.
Kudos to you bikers for letting him through and enjoying the spectacle. Really good to see 👍 As a cyclist based in the mountains, we appreciate this sort of behaviour.
Beautiful to see everyone on two wheels getting along! :)
Cyclist to motorcyclist : I m about to destroy his whole career
Thats was a great watch! Thanks for this positive vibe and respect towards the cyclist.
Yeah gravity and draft is your friend as a cyclist. That and nice guys like you.
That was awesome. You guys rock!
I think it's very cool that the motorcyclist see it so relaxed and leave it in place! I am also an 🚵driver and unfortunately I have often bad experiences. We are both on two wheels and are often deliberately overlooked on the road! That's why I think cyclist and motorcyclist should treat each other carefully and respectfully! Nice too see it can be funny too
That was a lovely video
Reminds me of the movie breaking away, when Dave passes the semi driver
Thanks for the positive actions towards the cyclist! As one, I genuinely appreciate it! It's always great to get a wave back from the motorcyclists when we are out on the road! Thanks again for sharing the video!
This wins the internet, along with positivity of the narrators,,,, thankyou for the up lift
I hate the attitude of motorcyclist and car drivers towards cyclist in the UK it's at a very low level. Thank you for this..
And what about the cyclist
Paul Austin which one are you car driver or biker? Lol
i did notice that for sure...the one draw back to being confident no one has a gun
DeadHead. Wait till you try road cycling in South Africa. It's like playing Russian Roulette. In comparison, I find the attitude of U.K. motorcyclists and car drivers towards cyclists almost divine.
When u never miss leg day
Last year, I was on a flat to slight downhill on a suburban street on my bicycle. A guy on a Kawasaki Ninji pulled up beside me and asked if I wanted to race...I said hell yes and started cranking...he kept his front wheel just behind mine so I could "win". People on the sidewalk were laughing...as were the two of us. He gave me a thumbs up and went on his way.
THANK YOU for your respect of this awsome rider. I RESPECT YOU ALL because of your actions on this video. God bless you.
Me on an everyday basis drafting tracks cars motor bikes very cool motorcycle dudes are always so kind and let me on there draft lol
That was first time that's every happened on any of my rides
It takes cannons for legs, and balls of steel to even attempt. That's why. I've done it with my partner, on her Suzuki, but in 40 and 50kmph zones, and that's when she knows what I'm doing.
man power 💪🏿
I’ve 2 carbon road bikes and a Z1000, this is such an ace video to see the brotherhood of us all 👍👍👍👍
That cyclist is probably in a serious training ride. Thanks for being so sport guys!
A shame the truck, with bicycles attached no less, intentionally blocked the cyclist. Brilliant video and great respect.
Thanks!
Cycling and motorcyclist here. Lane-sharing and passing on the right are generally illegal for all of those good reasons, Disregarding these laws creates a dangerous road hazard for EVERYONE in the vicinity. They almost always protect us smaller vehicles but we have to follow them, too.
cyclist are the ones allways screaming about leaving enough space when passing. The lane was to narrow, and there was a double yellow, so the bike couldn't have passed safely anyway.
no I think the cyclist was more confortable behind the truck he was very faster and with that speed he will encounter the drag force..to avoid this problem he used a thechnique which called "slipstream"
Actually it is called drafting.
ROAD BIKES are awesome and fun and can reach 60 and 80 km/h
you bikers should really try it!
#egyptian_cyclist ;)
Motorcycles are also awesome and fun and can reach 225+km/h in a corner, you cyclist should really try it
i know bro i already adore them :D
The best is to ride a motorcycle AND road bike too. Believe me, I would never give up either of them. It's two different worlds. Cheers from Hungary, hope all people behaved like u on the roads! :)
My road bicycle is broken & only reaches 20 km/h. Make sure you don't buy a broken one like I did.
60 or even 80.. I have dreamed about speeds like that. Unfortunately every time i go faster than 50 kph, my ride starts falling apart. Maybe one day i can afford to buy enough loctite and glue my Harley strong enough.. ;-))
Great video you guys! Thank you for respect and enjoy the cyclist effort!!
Loving the 2-wheel respect. You rock, NgoMoto!
3:30, cyclist is actually drafting the truck saves energy
Yes, and you get a pull along effect. Better on big wheelers. Videos for it, don’t have to pedal and can do the speed of the vehicle in front.
And is deadly foolish a thing to do when your vision is 100% blocked.
Really?
th-cam.com/video/lnYp4srEooI/w-d-xo.html
Seriously, what he's doing is plain stupid.
Awesome, thanks for Vids of our teammate. I will post to FB page. facebook.com/MonsterMediaRacing/
Glad you liked it. Just people enjoying the same piece of road.
Glad to see you guys being so cool! Respect for my fellows on 2 wheels!
as a cyclist, it is so much fun to catch a draft on bikes, specially when they are also cruising, always respect our bigger two wheeled brothers on the roads
how fast were you going guys. great video. I bet the cyclist was having the ride of his life.
That guy is nuts going uphill and taking over bikes and cars I cycle to work 4 miles there 4 miles back everyday for past 5 months and am literally out of breathe going uphill after a few minutes let alone that kind of speed on a road bike
Jax ...... They are going down hill....not up hill
oh haha mb i was sleepy af when i typed that thats not that impressive as i thought then xd guy prob has like a $2k+ bike to be going that fast still
Jax a light bike will help you going up hill, but coming down, a 300-500 dollar bike will do just as well, the extra weight going down is no penalty
i mean pro riders with expensive bikes can go up to like 70-80 mph+ my gravel bike i have which i use for work i think the fastest ive gone is about 40-45 mph downhill and it was £750
Drafting on a downgrade. Not that hard to get to 60mph drafting a vehicle. Down a hill, what a sweet ride.
Thanks, guys, for being so cool about it.
You guys are awesome!! Respect!!
The motorcyclists were being held up by the cars in front (which is why they were going at bicycle speed) and the cyclist overtook them all on the inside. Dangerous and illegal - which I'm sure would have been repeatedly pointed out if it had been the other way round.
ushoys Cyclists have to stay on the right side of the road and must overtake right idiot! Learn the rules before opening your mouth dumbass
Are you really stupid? If a cyclist drive 20 miles per hour on a flat road where other traffic can drive 45 miles and there is a double yellow line it means they can't overtake the cyclist in your eyes and have to stay 30 miles long behind it creating a lot of angry people behind them? Cyclists are slow traffic normally and must stay right and because they use little space they can and must overtake on the right side and won't pass any illegal lines.
You can pass cyclists on a double yellow, you just have to do so when it is safe for both the car and cyclist and you have to give them at least 4 feet of space from the side of your vehicle. That is the law here in PA at least.
It was definitely not the normal or advised way of overtaking traffic, but everyone knew what was going on (excepting Mike - which actually just proves the point). That said, back when bicycles and horses were the only thing on the roads (remember that rhe first paved roads were built for cyclists), these rules weren't established and wouldn't be until the far more dangerous motor car was introduced. Almost all road rules today are implemented with cars in mind regardless of all other traffic.
Like it or not, being a cyclist is an exercise in bending rules (saying you can't run a red light doesn't do anyone any favors when traffic lights don't change at all for a cyclist anyway, 1 example). This was an example of respectful and safe road use, even though in 99% of circumstances (and I say this as a cyclist), he ought to be admonished and this behavior is never to be encouraged.
Ignoramus. Bikes can use any part of the lane in California.
Mike is not a good rider. I wouldn't want to group ride with someone that oblivious.
Dude has serious God given talent. To maintain control of that bicycle is very difficult at that speed given light weight and very this tires. Amazing. My hat is off to that cyclist.
This is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. Love ya guys ( no homo )
