1. Full throttle at all times.
2. Do hand gestures (like wanking gesture) to everyone
3. If you ride like a fool and you almost get clipped, make sure to break their sidemirror to establish dominance
4. Two wheel on the road is one wheel too many, not really needed.
5. Dont aim to become an old rider who's been enjoying their riding for years and years. Overrated. (see rule 1 again)
dont forget to complain about everyone being on their phones while driving, till weather forces you to take the car to work and now youre texting and driving too
Rule #5 means Gear is optional right?
Why wait for bad weather/car when you can install a phone mount and text/watch movies all while you ride
#6. Backwards baseball cap over helmet any day bro cmon look cool.
No drinking? In the 70s , a few beers , a joint, and hit of acid, getting on the R5 350 2 stroke Yamaha, and cruising the mountains, was a standard weekend. I forgot, people are weak nowadays!

Rip my boy gixxerbrah
I ride like I drive, pause at intersections and do not drive in blind spots. Has served me well thus far.
I'm not a big fan of really loud pipes, but some extra revs as you pass through a driver's blind spot can help.
Ride like you're invisible.
I live where lane splitting is legal and when I do it within our rules, drivers are generally very considerate. Often, they will scoot over a bit to give me more room. I try to wave and acknowledge driver's considerations and overall have no problems.
@thegunsngloryshow Cos I don’t wanna sit in traffic
@thegunsngloryshowwhy not, it's fun.
@thegunsngloryshow multiple countries/places deem it safe enough to legalize if you follow the rules
@thegunsngloryshow also being in traffic is riskier than lane splitting
In contrast, down here where it's not legal, I get VERY ugly looks, haha.
Dang...taking more shots at The Brah hahaha
Just having a laugh, we're buddies

I LOVE your vids and I gotta give you some credit Mr yammie noob...im a 53 year old lady. My youngest child moved out last year so I got a Mc. I've ridden on back for years(1%ol lady for like 5 years) so I thought I could just jump on and ride. Come to find out I learned nothing, zero, nada from riding on the Back lmao so I came to you tube. You and a couple others taught me to ride. I had little help from people I could touch...so now it's 2 years later and I got it down. I now can ride comfortably without the anxiety that comes with learning, and happily. Really I be smiling like a doo hoo riding down the road. Thank you so much. I ride her everyday and work on her myself and won't let anybody touch her(I got an 04 honda shadow 750) I'm fixing to put clutch covet and pipes back on and enjoy this weather today. Ty so much, I'll never go back!
I pretend I'm invisible... especially when rev bombing my GL1500 ;)
So much power for no valid reason 😅😂
Me too.
Surely the goldwing has the "classiest" rev bomb of all. Like a wealthy aristocrat slapping someone across the face to challenge them to a duel.
Revbombing is number two on “The Most Stupid Thing To Do” list.
Number one is falling of while doing a wheeley. 🤦♂️
i pretend im invisible and that the cop cant see me so they must be pulling someone els over
I’ve been riding (Got my first motorcycle or any kind of bike ) 3 months ago with no In person guidance whatsoever I had absolutely no clue about anything on a motorcycle and I learned strictly from your videos and am still learning a lot I ride nearly every day now and I feel like I kinda got it down thanks yammi noob
I stare, with a mix of quiet satisfaction and existential dread, as he yells it over and over again. I hear the words echo in my soul as his eyes drill agonizingly into my core. He hovers closer as his chanting stare blots out all other sensation, both external stimuli and internal feeling alike. I shiver and finally go numb, giving in to the terrifying reality presented to me.
"He's right," I say to my monitor and the empty room around me, "it is all a dream." The monitor stares back, glowing softly.

@@kjaubrey4816 😳
I can relate to the 'Don't Drink & Ride', although I've never done it myself. I've been on some benefit poker runs where most of the stops were at bars. Halfway through the ride, it was easy to see who had been drinking. I started waiting for everyone else to go before I fell in behind the pack. I didn't want to be near them.
Same here brother...I drank beer of root! 😀👍😋
@@kennethanway7979, I love a good beer of root, but I prefer the ones made with real sugar.
@@bobmarlowe3390 or real sassafras...
One of my first big organized rides we made our first stop. We hit that bar like a flock of locusts. Everyone grabbed a beer while the good people out for a nice weekend meal stared at us. I walked out got on my bike and left.
Great video.
Lane splitting is totally legal in Belgium, and is even encouraged. Cars move over in the left lane to create the space. I ride over 25k kms a year, estimate 8 to 10k lane splitting in the Brussels Antwerp area. I gain between 1 and 3 hours a day that way.
I don't know if noise saves lives,but i have gotten drivers' attention by revving my throaty sounding Harley at them!
Nice, another video to watch, months before even starting my license
riding is a real-life video game but without a RESTART
ATGATT, preferably high viz. "You can wipe off sweat but you can't wipe on skin."
You don't need a license to start riding a motorcycle.
I didn't have a motorcycle endorsement for like... 20 years.
Not really sure why I got one, either.
@@choppergirl unfortunately i do. Im from germany. That yall dont need a license is insane to me
@@sirprise9548 What do you mean... need? I'm an anarchist. You can't license a liberty. I put the key in the ignition, turn it, and my motorcycle goes. If the police state tries to hassle me, I whip out the sharpest razors of all. Words. With Germany's history, you should be acutely aware of what happens when one does not stand against the police state. And yes, we have an active police state here too. You have to chose, will you stand for freedom, or will you stand against it. I stand for freedom. I'm not a member of any country. You can't make a binding contract with a baby to abide by an organizations rules! Sorry!
If anything, you as a German have more than enough ammunition in words to use against the police state... just look to and quote Germany's history.
Papa Yam, you haven't recognized the glory of Keith Code and Twist of the Wrist!
Excellent comment and totally agree! I have Twist of the Wrist on DVD and watch it at the start of each new riding season. It’s gold. And hey, it’s fun to watch anything about motorcycles and riding!
@TylerG7777 ah a fellow man of culture! I'd be surprised if the Yamster hadn't heard of the all-time sacred scroll of 2 wheeled wisdom!
But in all seriousness, I watched these when they first came out and read the book and then did some coached track days on my first bike (Honda MC22 250RR) and was totally ripping round, the explanations and logical advice just makes it like a lightbulb goin off, it should be a requirement to sit through it and then have an exam on it to get a license!
still a really relevant book. really goofy video but you have to consider the time. it is funny to watch but still relevant
@jeffhdpd782 the goof is the gloriousness of it, and all the tips are still super relevant!
Texas here as well and I filter at lights everytime. Gotta hope that this changes. People are honestly pretty good about it.
Just took my 09 v rod out for the first time earlier. Definitely a good feeling, and love your videos man. It's also my first bike, and oh so happy. For reference I'm 6'-2" and 215lbs, so I can definitely flat foot it at a stop. Just need to get used to the feels.
Quite a few digs at Gixxer Brah in this one. lol
All in good fun, we're buddies lol
Well TBF Gixxer brahs tend to be the ones that paint the rest of us with the worst image
The gsxr bruh joke was wild
#6 - Just STOP it!! The squids that do it sound like an angry hornet (the little ones, not the 'killer' kind)! I laugh every time I hear someone over-revving! 😂😂
Good video Yam! Your videos were a part of my beginner journey a few years ago. Lane splitting here in CA is nice, but there are so many riders that continue to lane split at speeds that are flat out dangerous in addition to being over the posted speed limit that it creates cager animosity towards riders. Most people will actually move over for you and make it even safer when done at safe speeds.
If yammie got paid everytime he says "squid". Needs a compilation at this point
Got my first bike a few weeks ago. Really enjoying the content, thank you!
ride with experienced motorcyclists or bikers. learn more.
Love the facts at the end 🎉
I'm just letting all your videos play one after another all day at this point lmao. I'm about to get my first bike and I'm learning a whole bunch! Definitely gonna make a bunch of videos about my journey too. Thanks for inspiring me!
Dude, u r funny as Hell, and just as accurate!
Keep it goin!
The constant jabs at gixxerbrah is great lmao
You really went hard on this one.
whenever you're tempted to rev bomb, keep in mind the rest of the world calls it a rage rev.
the only bikes it's cool to rev bomb, are old two strokes, so that we can all smell that gorgeous Castrol R blue tinged smoke, as it fills your neighbours' houses in the morning :-)
Bro you literally nailed it with me n the rap sheet on a Harley
👍 Your writing is pure genius and thoroughly entertaining. ( Howdy from Florida 🤠 )
I am guilty of doing the occasional vroom vroom while sitting at a stop light 😅. But its mostly cuz my daughter loves to hear it lol.
I have a neighbor who likes to rev his car. I didn't realize how annoying it is until I've felt it myself.
Had a guy who used to do that near my dorm in college. Usually yelling "Okay, we get it, it's 2 inches long!" usually was enough to get him to stop
The clip after the outro reminded me of Michael Scott 😆
Been motorcycling for zillions of years and i am still learning
There is something wrong with me, I always laugh at the outros. Thanks man
Good point on lane splitting.
As a Coloradan, I can confirm that I'm only here to prevent "Extradition"☠️😂
Yeah me too. Once I saw him on our local news I knew they'd bring him here. El paso County jail sucks a** too
Jokes on you buddy! My Harley wont do anything close to 180! Ha!
Yammie has the best outros on TH-cam.
This one made me subscribe.
Revbombs and burnouts for Yammie 2024 🤘🤘
Why you gotta do Gixxer Brah like that? Three shots in one video. 😂😂😂
Also, non-assless chaps are leather pants
I ride into Comifornia for years and spilt traffic, I do i do it cautiously and not much faster than traffic is going, doing this I have no problems.
Squid mating call ! Hahahahahahahahahaa ! Awesome video
Sweet, got it...5 beer minimum on bike night brother. Got it 🤟🏼👍🏻
Looks fun.
Stay out of Daytona this week or you head will explode.
3:14 bro is just casually sitting next to my dream bike
Your best one by far....or was it? I could still be dreaming.
Good advice
@yammie I just bought a 2011 Yamaha FZ8.
I'm in Houston if you haven't ridden one, you need to
Casually igniting my inner schizophrenic at the end there, real classy 😂
Yammie; loud pipes DO save lives in deer territory!!!!!
I love the Yam
I think I will go to that park shortly
Bro, DO NOT end a video like that. 😂💀
Always finger fellow riders
“It’s not fault if you get extradited to Colorado” broooo 💀💀💀🤣
In the UK lane splitting is completely legal. We have a totally different mindset here as a lot of kids will ride a bike before moving onto a car. Cars are way too expensive and second hand, often come with problems. Bikes can be cheaper and a new bike is more reliable. People in cars still kill bikers but the whole biker thing is completely different thing in the UK compared to the USA.
top tier ending
the problem with lane-splitting, whether legal or otherwise is many see it as a ticket to confrontation... and while it makes the car driver look bad, if it is not legal in your part of the world, it just validates their anger and often gives license to others that know it's illegal to pick on motorcyclists that do it. All I do is wedge my tire between the two cars in front of me... that way if I do get hit it will be a glancing blow and I will go between the cars instead of into the one directly in front of me.
Yea imma keep lane splitting
@@slimfit767 please be careful.. in places where it's not legal (and likely where it is as well) people don't look in their mirrors while stopped at lights and may lane-change or attempt to without much additional warning.
@@adam346 yea its legal on my island.well we have two way traffic here so sometimes we gotta filter thru wen the traffic in our lane is too slow.
I am glad there are some who are not amazed and excited by burnouts.They are stupid and wasteful and require zero skill unless it is a slow or fast rolling burnout which requires more skill the faster you go.
Is there a reason motorcycles can’t just lane-split into the shoulder? I know when I lived in Mass cars drove right in the shoulder to pass
Rule 1: if a kid pionts at your bike with a smile, give them the limiter, that was us once
As a tow operator and a motorcycle connoisseur I second the dont drink and ride, literally every single motorcycle accident except for 1 or 2 involves alcohol.
Are the giveaways open to Australia by any chance?
As a Street squid. I agree 100% with this information.haha
I think this video if for new riders :)
I am an irresponsible citizen, yet I am an ethical squid.
I spend my free time, in my smoking jacket, swirling ice in my scotch glass, while I groom my ego.
I drink my tequila while watching cartoons!
Lane filtering or splitting is only legal in CA, you get caught doing anywhere else in the US, you will be given a moving violation and hefty fine. They care less if you think you going to hit from behind in stopped traffic.
How come you knew I fell asleep at the end? 😄
Where I'm living, motorcycles dominate all but the biggest the roads. We move to the head of the traffic at lights so we don't have to breath cager's exhaust.
Has yammie ever done a video on the gen 1 zxr10?
A little more info I started with a 650 cc cruiser it’s a Suzuki boulevard 2019 and I want a sport bike now
Vulcan S owners just caught a stray bullet😭😭
I enjoy riding my sons Vulcan S. It’s fast enough to be fun without being too crazy and great to be on when you want to chill and enjoy the ride. Something I don’t seem to be capable of on my MT-10.
I alway kick my leg out left ir right when I want to switch lanes in busy traffic
I ride next to my stepdad all the time , its cool we have a bit of a mental link that way .
Also if someone sits on your bike explain to them that you've ridden 10s of thousands of miles on hot summer days farting and sweating into that little cushion lol.
In Europe lane splitting is normal and in my country it's expected, cars move over to let me pass, even if I don't want to 😂
Outro goes hard
Good vloge broo , you are not ddLazy. 🏍
Can we get a video on how to properly use hand signals ? For example I use my left hand signal to turn left and I don’t slow down until necessary so I don’t get smacked from behind for slowing down too fast but when I use my right hand signal i slow down too fast when I take my hand off the throttle so I use the clutch to stay at the same speed using my right hand but I don’t know if I’m doing it right any tips for that would be great
You use your left hand for both right and left hand signals, google it
Ha ha try using this in the Philippines 😂it’s the old west with no traffic signals
The only rider I have ever dogged on was this one teen that was riding a thing with 2 wheels at dusk that looked like a small fully faired sport bike but had no brake light, turn lights, head light, or license plate. Like I get you gotta start somewhere but dude the bloated vehicles on the road aint gonna see you or feel when they run your ass over.
Fine, I’ll subscribe.
"Extradited to Colorado" lmfao poor gixxer brah
It's always interesting to see "Motorcycle Etiquette" videos where people talk about respecting other bikers when there is still so much hate for Trike riders in online motorcycle media. Especially on places like r/motorcycles and TH-cam comment sections. (edited for spelling and grammar)
hilarious extradited to CO ref.!!!!! Can I therefor be a Yammiie mini-nube if I ride a 2007 Yamaha XT 225 Serow? A total cult following....Maybe a spinoff channel suggestion, Yammie Noob Dual
Police are the standing army the founders warned about
2015 CB300F or 2022 KTM Duke 200 as very first motorcycle ever? Both for sale in my hometown on FB and having a hard time choosing. 40 years old and never drove a bike except a dirt bike for a few months and a bicycle about 20 years ago LOL. But really want to get into bikes and found those 2 that's close and cheap to me.
As long as you don’t plan on jumping on the freeway or interstate. It might get to speed, but it’s not going to have the power to pass or get out of sticky situations
yammie big fan from india
Fact: I just farted at the end of the video. There you go Yammy, I one uped you.
dat ending xD
11:24 fell asleep cause i was too tired 😅😅
Noti gang
If these things make me a squid call me squidward from now on
My favorite fever dream
I’m 56 yrs old and ride a BMW GS. Bring it on baby, I can take it. 😉
I ride a Zero, so i am already silent. Never made a difference from when i had an ICE bike... But I follow all of these rules routinely. I havent had an accident (that wasnt me fucking around) in 10 years+.
What's the bike shown at 10:48?
