Intro Song: :Getting Dirty" by Silent Partner from Free TH-cam Library
Cycle cruiser new year resolutions is to cancel his turn singles
cruza*
+edgar soto He also spelled it singles not signals
+Brock Gibleon
I spent from 2:05 to 3:25 of this video telling him to turn off his indicator...he didn't listen to me
I hear chinese indicators are cheap ?
TURN SIGNAAAAAAAAAL!!
it cringes me everitim
I noticed it too. He had it on for a long time. :)
i couldn't handle it. i had to skip the beginning of the video...
Hook that signal relay to the horn. Beep...beep...beep...😂
i swear im losing my shit over this but this happens to me fairly often
TURN SIGNALS!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHH!!!!
+MrGoldenFoxHD I was about to say
+MrGoldenFoxHD THIS!
Drove me crazy!
Love the fact that you still make videos for folks looking into getting a motorcycle. Keep up the great work!!
All excellent points. When you're new to riding, you don't know what you don't know, so I made a few equipment errors, but I asked other riders for advice. A co-worker and long time Harley rider said to get a good rain suit. I later got caught out in a rain storm of seemingly biblical magnitude and was so glad I had a decent rain suit.
First helmet was off the shelf that seemed to fit. After a while it sucked. Current helmet was professionally fitted and is perfect, but costs almost $500, but 100% worth it, especially on long rides. All good advice CycleCruza. I wish everybody a safe ride out there.
I bought my helmet 4 years before I could afford my scooter
dedication
that's cool
Was it a Chineeeeeeeeeeeese Scooter?
+dapster Lol, hell no, got me a Yamaha.
Okay. I was only kidding around cause when CC says Chinese Scooter he says it like "Chiiiiineeeeeeeeeese Scooter!"
Here is what the video recommends:
1) Get a dual sports bike
2) Get good gear even though they are expensive,
3) Get roadside assistance.
You just got your 10mins of your life back.
dont be a dick. this is his living . sure, you can sum it down into those bullet points, but people would rather know the reason why, and all the ifs ands and buts about it.
You're setting cyclecruza up for a real fucked up day man!
We come here to listen to Cyclecruza talk, even if it is for 10+ minutes. He’s funny and insightful so I don’t mind.
Did it annoy anyone else when his indicator wasn't knocked off 😂
am i the only one that got annoyed that his fliker was on the whole time?
No
didnt even notice
Agreed, it's annoying
.
Cyclecruza just deinstall the turn signals, because you confuse people more than anything.
Deinstall... Wow, and apparently there are three more just like you. Stay home on voting day. Stay off the roads too.
dutch971 So can you tell me how your day has been in spanish? Or in Danish? Or in Arabic? If you're perfect in all languages.
Some people are just so sheltered that they don't understand english is not everybody's first language. just let him be a fuckboy.
Id0n0thate Um, well, if I spoke those languages, I damn well could. It shouldn't be that damn hard to figure out how to "uninstall" something. Google can be helpful...
Best Nooby bike tip ever: Get Good Gear. There is NO better recommendation. Gear is everything!
Buy your gear first...excellent advice. Too easy not to realize how much decent gear is, buy a bike and not have the money left for the gear.
AAA - been a customer for years, they are the best though a bit more expensive. I've tried coverage that comes with new cars or via insurance policies, their tow mile limits are very low and they take forever to show up. AAA gets there in a reasonable time and they are a very customer oriented company too.
good dealers wont let you take a bike home without a helmet and gloves
I live directly across the lake from you, and I find your videos extremely useful!
people made fun of me because I told them that I couldn't buy my bike because I spent all the money on gears and I needed to wait, they thought it was stupid, glad to hear you gave us the same advice I was doing, I knew it was the smart choice! :)
I don't normally comment, but I honestly think C.C. Is my favorite TH-cam motorcycle enthusiast. Plus his videos are informative and funny
Yeah a good gear is very valuable and will save your ass literally :D
I trust you... I know you found that out too 😁... Completely agree, I feel naked without all the gear on... Makes me want to push the bike rather than ride it...
I love how this dude presents his videos!
Good points. I agree. I think if you have no prior motorcycle experience a dual sport is definitely safer and easier to learn on. Even if you have prior experience a small dual sport is just awesome to have. There are days when I would like to jump on a sport bike and go for a blast but now, after having my CRF 250 I wouldn't want to be without it. It's just too much fun. The other day I was thinking about all the bikes I had in the past. I missed so many days of riding because it looked like it was going to rain. Then it didn't..... With my dual sport I ride anyway. It's a dirt bike. If you get it dirty you don't have to spend a week cleaning it. If I decide I want a sport bike or another cruiser, I'll definitely keep my dual sport. I don't know how I lived so long without one.
+Jerry Coon I feel the same way. Actually, I think I would sell my cbr1000rr before I'd sell my wr250r. I like having both but I love the ability to ride both on and off-road. These bikes can take a beating and you don't have to keep them pretty like a sportbike.
+CycleCruza Yeah exactly! They are just easy to ride and they aren't big and bulky and cumbersome. I would like to have a big bike again though. Just a nice weather bike. Wait til you get the mods on that WR... you will be just as excited as you were when you first got the bike. I think I'm almost as excited waiting for the video! haha. It will be really awesome for you to find a place where you can ride off road in the woods or trails or a gravel pit or something. Eventually if you're riding offroad you will drop it. That's how you learn though. You try things that you're not positive you can do. Sometimes you surprise yourself and nail it and other times you don't make it the first time but you learn.... I think I had my CRF about a week and I dropped it in a muddy rut. Just brush the dirt off, straighten the mirrors out and get going again! LOL
as usual another great vid.You should put all your stuff on DVDS and sell them as a set. I ride Harleys now and tell everyone that I know rides to check out your vids.Like I have had to have told some ,doesn't matter what the guy rides.He knows his shit.Stay safe this season and keep the rubber on the road brother.
IDK why but I always laugh so much when you leave your signals on and then you notice and go "BAD CYCLECRUZA!" And hit your arm lol
I like your advice on buying gear FIRST. We all just wanted to get our hands on that hot new bike more than anything else, but honestly, do you really wanna wait a week to get gear - the same week when you are just figuring out how to ride?
To be honest, I have other motovloggers that I prefer more, but you were one of the 3 that I watched when I was deciding to buy a bike. Your straightforward advice is great for the noobs
Love my XR650, you Ride good on the Streets with it, and you turn into the Woods and have a Blast there aswell. Depending on the tires of course.
"Buy your gear before you even got your bike! "
The wisest words I ever heard from you, and I know what you're talking about! ;-)
Watch those indicators, don't cause others to give you a fucked up day by not cancelling :)
+CycleCruza Gear is by far the most important thing for a rider, 3 years ago i also found out the hard way..... When coming back from school on my 49cc dualsport (max cc's allowed at age 16) i got hit by a car, my bike was completely wrecked and i broke my knee and bruised my lungs. after that i was taken to the hospital by ambulance and straight to intensive care because my lungs where shutting down for unknown reason. but after a few weeks it started getting better and it wasnt life threatning anymore. now nearly 3 years later my lungs are good again but my knee still hasnt fully recovered even after multiple surgery's and over 2 years of hard training.
The lesson ive learned:
Just a helmet, gloves and jacket isn't enough. wear good protective pants too!
i did have a real good quality helmet that my dad gave me, it took a hard hit too, the screen ripped apart and the mehanism for it shatterd also all around it had multiple marks, but my head was perfectly fine (exept for being low on oxygen due to my lungs) also my jacket was perfectly fine, it was a good quality jacket, i still have it now and wear it occasionally.
My normal jeans where completely shredded and my shoes got a beating too but luckily i was wearing my workboots that day, and not my sneakers.
SO DONT SAVE ON GEAR.
That sucks and I hope your knee gets well but I'm wondering, how did you get a bike and legally drive it at 16?
+jon123marshall in texas you can get a motorcycle endorsment at age 15 but you will be limited to only 250cc until you are 16 then you can get any bike.
+jon123marshall Thanks man, i live in europe, here you can get a license to ride a bike with 49cc max. And your full license at 18 years, but that has been changed now at 18 you can have 125cc max and at 20 endless cc but only 35kw and at 22 (or 24 if u dont have the previous license) you can ride any bike.
+DutchMastermind Okay, does the same type of restrictions apply to cars?
1AmericanInAsia No, you can get your car licens when you are 17 and then u need to drive with someone that has the license already or you can just wait untill you are 18 and drive on your own. (no power limit, only not all ensurances will insure you car if you have high HP and low age)
Agreed! Don't be cheap when it comes to gear.
I want a motorcycle. F#!K.
• give me your bike lol
• your mom?
me too
Just buy one guys, do it now
Loving that 60fps 1080p!
5:56 My Excuse to my parents, to get sick looking gear. Just replay this over and over and tell them, "yeah see this guy knows what hes talkin bout" xD
ok, so it was time for me to renew my AAA coverage anyways and after seeing this video, i decided to look into this RV coverage. actually, AAA has a specific add on just for motorcycles that you can add to your existing coverage. so thanks to this video, i went on and renewed for another year and added the motorcycle coverage for $35 more. also, as a AAA member, any purchases you make on motorcycle superstore will get you AAA points. points that convert to $$$ you can use to reduce your AAA cost at next renewal. thanks CC.
Very well said, proper gear is very important. Better safe than sorry;)
Make sure to wear all gear, including pants. My broken leg cost me close to 50 grand in hospital expenses which insurance covered. And that was without scraping my leg. Expect a bill of 100 grand if you really mess your leg up with no insurance.
Damn. That sounds painful man.
very true i got all my gear first then i got my motorcycle, i kno it felt very unusual the first week when you have amazing gear but no bike LOL but when i went to the dealersip... i came out like a BOSS! on my new bike! :D
paras nath singh yeah I bought my jacket like 6 months before buying my bike and..... I used to wear it imagining I was on my bike LOL
I'm glad I followed this advice.
one of the biggest newb no no's is not wearing good riding boots(i see a lot dipshits wearing normal footwear).. if the footwear doesn't have ankle protection and heel/toe protection then you can risk never walking again, or atleast for a long time.
I did the same exact thing with the helmet. Cheap helmet, two sizes too big. Lucky I never went down as that thing probably would have popped off. I found out now a Medium Icon Airmada fits me perfectly and I love the styles.
I just found your channel and I've got to say.....I'm broke my first bike will be a 600 not sure which make but I do appreciate all the advice you have given for a noob and will remember that when I buy one and thank you for doing what you do your the only channel that I have seen with this many tips
Holy crap!!! Grammar; punctuation and basic sentence structure for fucks sake!
Daniel Fronefield f4i!
I remember my first self-inflicted accident, when I hit the deck (landed on my back after being launched from the bike) I remember thinking "that didnt hurt, thank god I was wearing the proper gear"
Had I not been wearing leathers I may well have caused some minor injuries.
Welp I'm doing good on your 3 things >.< Started on my current KLR 650, my Rev'iT pants/jacket combo comes in the mail tomorrow(been riding 4 months though with no leg protection, and cheap jacket), only been riding for 4 months so don't need to replace my helmet anytime soon and it fits perfect. I saved up for like a whole year to buy my motorcycle + all my gear, and I'm satisfied as hell, I don't need road assistance though. My step-dad and grandfather both have trucks worthy of putting my bike in the back. Loved the video though :D Took my EBATE class and loved it, learned a lot. Keep up the great videos.
+DeeKay Cool but get motorcycle pants ASAP! Your legs and hips take a beating the most if you go down. Get these pants and thanks me later: cyclecruza.com/agvlthrpants
Best of luck!
CycleCruza comes in the mail tomorrow or the next day. cant wait. theyre also waterproof/thermal lined. Also got heated grips coming with them. plan on riding through the winter as long as the roads arent wet
DeeKay Nice! Ride defensively and stay safe!
CycleCruza You too man!
CC, why would you replace your helmet every five years unless you head size changes. Also, another thing you could do if you start over is install self-canceling turn signals :-)
I believe helmets 'wear out' after 5 years.
+Banana Split I disagree with this because their are too many variables in play that will degrade the helmets lifespan. There are only a few real, measurable reasons to replace a helmet: 1. The helmet was involved in an accident where it was damaged; 2. The owner grew out of the helmet; 3. The owner wants a new helmet due to technology changes or the owner no longer has a need for the helmet for what it was intended. That is pretty much it. Reasons for normal wear and tear on a helmet is so vast that it can not be considered a true measurement for helmet replacement.
+1AmericanInAsia valid points. I don't ride, but I'm sure I read it somewhere.
+1AmericanInAsia the styrofoam padding expires
+tiehut Come on guys. Styrofoam has a life span of over 5,000 years if it sits in a land field. I really doubt it will degrade enough in 5 years while it sits on a shelf in a garage or closet in a home under great air conditioner that it warrants replacing a $500 helmet.
The reason helmet manufactures say replace the helmet in 5 years is because they want you to buy a helmet every 5 years. They will stop making replacement parts for the helmet to force you to buy a new one. Again, the materials will not degrade to the point of it being not usable after 5 years if a person rides his bike 2 times a week from Apr - Nov (no riding in the winter). Replace it after 5 years of normal use is just not correct because normal use may be different for each person. If you crash a helmet, you should replace it. That is a must. Like I said, there are just too many variables to put a non-use policy on a helmet after just five years of use. The engine of the motorcycle has more ware and tear than a helmet could possibly have. Are you going to replace your engine after 5 years of use? Hell no.
I have 237,000 miles on my 2006 car and have never had to open the engine. I have taken great care of the car and have changed parts at required intervals. Car dealers hate people like me; someone that follows the maintenance plan and change parts that are not on the general plan. The same goes for a helmet. Take care of it, wash it correctly to keep it clean to reduce the chance of bacterial growth in the helmet. Change the interior pads at regular intervals, ect. Your helmet will last much longer than five years. If you want to change it because it no longer fits or because you simply want a new helmet because technology changed, then let that be the reasons to change it. If you crash it, change it.
I totally agree with the road side assistance! I have had AAA for 30 years. I had my kids cover on it too when they started riding & driving. I go on alot of long trips on my bike & with my boat & truck. It has save me & my kids many times over the years. Its well worth the cost. One tow can cost as much as a few years of AAA coverage.
7:10...not gonna lie that's exactly what I'm doing. I already have a helmet but won't end up getting a bike at least until Summer. Congrats on the 100k btw, make sure TH-cam sends you your shit lol.
The prices for the bike are higher in the summer. You may be able to save a few thousand if you purchased it now.
Here's my problem, I'm saving up now so I can pay a decent chunk of it off.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who forgets to turn off my turn signals
The problem with starting out on a dual sport is that you don't really see the similarity between the riding posture of one of those when you're going to upgrade to a supersport or a SBK. Most people don't like the sporty seating posture on these bikes and they won't transition from sitting upstraight to leaning over onto the handlebars without having comfort issues.
You can get a supermoto (:
great video, man!
I was in a motorcycle accident last year I had a Honda CBR600RR and it got totaled I was riding on the highway my back tire didn't have good traction and it gave out from under me the tail ripped off I had multiple broken bones
Once I get good I hope to ride out with you!
wow great video! wish i would have had this when i started out
Indicators again!! :D
If you live around friends and you break down the first thing I'd ever do is call one of them to see if they could come bring a trailer or my trailer from my house to pick me up. I wouldn't walk my bike miles on a hot ass day lol.
I got all my gear, I replaced all the armor with new armor instead of what came inside it. than I got in the basic rider class, next I'm taking a street riding class.
than I got to find a way to get a motorcycle, with a abs system on it. i want to get a r3 so bad.
@CycleCruza - it makes me nervous when you ride with your hands off the bars!
Matt McNeil bikes just kinda go straight unless to tell them otherwise. if you look up some highside wrecks sometimes the bike will just stand up and keep going.
Yup, like when we used to ghost ride our bicycles when we were kids.
I was thinking more of the reaction time to go from hands off bars to hands back in control of the bike. If a critter ran out in front of you, you would travel quite a ways in the half second it takes to get back in control of the bike, depending on your speed of course.
You may have lightning reflexes, but you travel 45 feet in a half second at 60 mph. It could make the difference between stopping / avoiding and having to pick up a bunch of broken plastic off the roadway.
This is just for discussion's sake BTW, not trying to criticize unduly.
Matt McNeil agreed, I dont like taking more than one off. preferably leaving the throttle/brake hand on.
I'm pretty new though
I will be starting on a 300 mainly because I've never ridden a motorcycle and don't want to have to pay a lot for it including insurance
Good tips! Nice car at 7:36. :)

+cyclecruza i really want a supemoto the drz400sm but im short im 15 verily turnd 15 on November 30 but since im only 5'1 and inseam of 29'2 i fell like i wana get a yamaha yzf r3 really awsome bike i want to start on it because i can get the fell of a motercycle and get the balance so when i get a supermoto ill be able to keep on,on one foot but im only 15 so i still will grow but im impation to start cause at 15 and a half you can get licence here in TX
+chiripas Romero Get an XT250 or TW200. I'm 5'2" with a 27" inseam and i am comfortable with both bikes. Been riding the TW for 3 yrs
+Albert Tran thanks man that was really helpful do you know the seat heigth on these bikes?
+chiripas Romero the R3 is a good choice, as it has a low seat height & easy to handle. I ride an asian variant which is the R25. Good luck & welcome to the biking world :-) Stay safe
+chiripas Romero seat height is 30 inches. I only have a slight issue with it at stoplights. What i do is either scoot my butt to the side about an inch or lean the bike down to one side a little while balancing it by place foot pressure on the outside peg.
my first road bike was a dual sport 2008 KTM 450 exc-r. bought it new and loved it so much. regret getting rid of it, but it's a terrible street bike. uncomfortable, bad brakes, low power, fast tire wear, bad gearing, unbalanced wheels.
i like it when you suddenly change the video from the yellow bike into that motorcross bike and that background sound too , when the video change it just feels like "surprise b**ch"
AAA now has Roadside assistance for motorcycles. thats kind of new
that car was standing in the other lane..is that considered dangerous situation in US ?
that blinked light is killing me
Hey CC! Can we expect new T-shirts recently? I'd like to buy a couple!
Thx
Cycle cruiser im 15 stay in india love you videos i will buy a cbr600rr jst 2 more year and im almost 16so yaa too years thanks for inspiring and your videos are being wathed in all parts of yhe world even india thanks for inspiring us peace out
****CycleCruza's Recommended Videos**********
Go to my motorcycle Video Playlists here:
cyclecruza.com/my-videos-2
You should watch a safety course. One left turn from those cars would be the hard way to learn.
I have a question. How much does that roadside assistance cost? You could probably take that money and put it up, and then just pay for the tow. I own a truck and trailer so I could call someone to get it and come get me, unless I'm like way off somewhere, I guess it could be worth it. But even then it's limited to 100 miles, so prolly not worth it.
I could of gone and took a dump and came back to this video to see that the turn signals are still on....
here in canada you have to buy all your gear before you can take your safety course so you pretty much do need your gear first hah
It's the same in Florida too. But the gear is only required by law for a certain amount of time (like a year or so) and for certain ages.
I dont know where you are, but in Quebec you don't. I saw kids with tshirts and running shoes during my class.
No you dont, i took the ontario safety course in jeans and a hoodie
Thanks to you and a few other TH-camrs, you helped me be a successful first time rider (some mistakes ahhahahaa but who hasn't made a few "oh shits")
Things I'd do different now: quit yaking on for 5 seconds and turn my indicator off so other road users don't have a fucked up day
friend of my brother fell down with 20 km/h wearing levis jeans.
guess what happend.
the fu**ing fibers of the jeans got into the wound/road rash on his legs, now hes in the emrgency hospital and they have to get every single one of them out.
Awesome videos, I`m looking to buy a new 300 Ninja. All your videos are giving me a lot of great ideas about riding. Waiting for some money ha ha, only a matter of time. Im trying to decide if i should travel down to the states and pay tax coming back but that seems unlikely since our dollar is low =p.
Cheers and ride safe
A dual sport in the US must be what the rest of the world call an 'enduro'.
New sub here. CycleCruza I've been riding for a few years now. I've looked all over TH-cam and you are easily my favorite channel for motorcycles. Unlike most, you don't go overboard with all the undeserved hyper ego bullshit. You actually have riding skills. That poser Night Rider could learn a lot from you.
+moonlitphantasm Hey thanks for the sub! Take care!
ty for new rider talk got my bike cbr 250rr no one to ride with after about 4 months laid her dawn going about ten mph broke the shit out my left leg tib fib hill foot shatters of bone all in my leg , keep in mind her was my only vehicle no car so I road eavry day in rain ta night all that no gear new t know y they call me squid my leg was like a tentacle.lost my job my bike and after a year and 7 surgery's I still have no bike can burly walk and all I think about is ridding . so all u new guy's liens up learn all u can do not stop learning all u can or I can loose your leg job fam and your bike it ant Werth it .all I think about is ridding I think it is true freedom and life lived .so ty brother and keep making videos if it hellpes even one person it was Werth it
David Deerlona you obviously hit your head too cuz you can't type for shit
HEY CC, YOUR A KOOL ASS DUDE TO LISTEN TO ON YOUR VIDEOS, IF THE WORLD HAD MORE DUDES LIKE YOU IT WOULD BE A FUCKIN NICE PLACE AND EVERYBODY WOULD BE HAPPY AS HELL!! Lol
Yeah that blinker was bugging for a minute lol
How do you take your right hand off the throttle without the bike slowing down? Throttle lock or just adjusted that way?
From 0:24 onwards it was like a first person GTA
Road side assistance? Bitch please I got a Triumph! ;)
Great Vid...I started in 1982 with a Honda XL250 dual sport. Great bike..about 70mpg.....moving forward to 2002 bought the 1100 Shadow Sabre...Great ride....Moving to 2014 Bought the Goldwing and KEPT Shadow....NOW....I want a Honda 250L Dual Sport...You are right...Cannot hardly find them used, at least around my area! Have always road with good gear. I do not understand some riders that buy a $25/$30K Bike and wanna bitch about spending $500 on gear OR wear a $10 Novelty Helmet! I have road side assistance...Road Hazard Tire coverage AND Extended Warranty on my Ride! Great VLOG.
I'm wondering... is it possible to learn to drive motorcycle without previous bike experience (of course in proper driving school)?
those look like draggin' jeans? I love mine.
Hey cyclecruza,,
Man I love your video's bro,,because of you and your video's
I now have a WR250r and just bought a ninja 500r ( because I'm new to sport bikes )
I have been a nurse for 30 years and was burnt out , riding these bikes has brought me back to life bro
quit my job and am taking the summer off to ride and have fun,, just wanted to say thank you brother,,
Watch all of your video's ,,,,liked ( thumbs up )
I got Suzuki GSXR1340, like starter bike)
I got good gears for that... but I'm not planning to kill myself))
Shud I sell that bike and get something smaller? or just try it out?
I have been driving the dirt bike for 10 years 250cc.
Want to hear your opinion man.
Hopefully I can find a good deal on a DRZ400s by the time I'm ready to buy a bike. I was definitely going to get gear first so that after I get my endorsement I can ride on friend's bikes until I can get my own.
Good plan.
Banana Split Just trying to decide if I want to take the time to find a good early 2000s bike or if I can handle the maintenance on an older (cheaper, but reliable) bike.
Great advice. I couldn't agree more especially when it comes to investing in good gear. Sure it's expensive. But how does that compare to your life or even serious injury? I have leather riding pants and kevlar jeans and I wear CE armor (knee and hip) under both. Personally, the armor that comes with a lot of these jeans tends to move around too much so I have my own separate armor that I wear. Works great and doesn't move.
Again, great advice man. Ride safe and have a great 2016!
wow hopping a fence youre so rebellious 😂
Yeah my 2014 klx 250 s is kind of a pain because it's carbureted, but is great on and off the road suspension wise and the transmission is very smooth, I really like the bike

Indicator left on for a while !! :-0
May I also recommend buying wet weather gear put it in a waterproof bag and strap it to your bike with a cargo net. New riders are forever getting caught in unsuspected rain storm underdressed.
I don't know where you live but in the UK you always ride with waterproofs... And somehow I still manage to be soaking wet ( can't afford £500+/item gear )
+AJHD I'm UK too, whenever I do British Superbikes me and my dad take waterproofs and knick a load of waterproof gloves from a petrol station too hahah
6:50 I'm just imagining the car behind him, what the driver thinks when he sees someone waving and shaking his head like this... someone is talking to himself xD
People behind you must think you are insane for waving your arms out constantly xD i just can't help but think about that xD
Cycle Cuza pls sent your any unused bike to me man.... I ride crazy but not yet earning cruza yeah my broh.... Have a good day hahahaa
I bought my gear before I got my bike not the super best quality but I got a helmet for like 170 1300 DOT approved Jacket has all the body armor in it cost me about 200 and gloves were like 35-40 dollars so you can get some gear that'll last you for 400ish and its all you need...yet to get pants I have boots ...BTW I PICK MY BIKE UP TODAY CycleCruza thank you for all the vids man been watching em im taking it slow starting on a CBR500R I feel like that's a good bike for me I don't need a high top speed and its still got decent torque WISH ME LUCK MAN! RIDING TODAY for the first time
I wish I would have pulled the fairings off too, To late now but I am never selling my bike anyways. I agree with the gear deal. A lady pulled out in front of me 4 1/2 months ago. I am waiting on going into surgery right now. I have collar bone broke in 6 places 3 ribs separated from sternum, 1 cracked rib in back, two torn tendons one 1cm the other over 50% tear, and more, but no road rash and I recall sliding backward on my stomach for at least 25 feet. Gear does not make you invincible but it will save you a ton of misery. Every piece of gear i was wearing was either tore or scraped or bashed. But other than internal injuries not one scratch on the outside. Currently unable to motovlog, the injuries and the snow on the ground. Looking forward to next season though.
CycleCruza, I love your videos! I've seen hours of them! You got great points, great safety tips etc.. But I see you riding with your indicator on so often. And that makes me sad, because you might end up gettin a FUCKED UP DAY! Or giving others a FUCKED UP DAY! By doing so. Not paying attention to what you're doing, is a bigger kill-factor than alcohol! Atleast in my country, and I'm from Denmark, so I'm a viking.. We drink like we got terminal cancer.. So please, a friendly request from me.. Don't put your own or others safety above vlogs. By not paying attention to what you do! Besides that, respect from Denmark! :)
Take an empty Styrofoam coffee cup and roll it in an arc across a table until you figure out how camber thrust causes it to turn. How can two different diameter circles attached to each other both turn one revolution at the same time? Notice that your motorcycle tires are rounded and not flat bottomed like car tires. Take a freshman calculus and physics class. Position, velocity, acceleration and mass are the business of Sir Isaac Newton and every motorcyclist. A light bulb is not just going to go off in your head and you will realize that the forces acting at the contact patches of your tire add in vector fashion, not linear (grade school) fashion. Braking marker, corner turn in, apex and corner exit are just positions. Easy, easy, easy.
Three years ago when I was a new rider, I went down (high side) I fucking landed on my head 😁 of course I was wearing my helmet that shit saved my life and I was kissing that helmet every fucking day, for that reason I went and bought the expensive helmet that I could afford. Like you said gear matters so it's quality. Note to myself and fellow riders: Never ride without proper gear, it save lives. It does and I know it! Ride safe mate
At 0:21 I thought you were going to take a piss on the fence! 😂

See that the thing, you didn't say " The right hand can be an ALTERNATE" hand signal. Its not the proper way to signal. Everything ive read from the link you sent me says its acceptable but 9 times out of 10 you shouldn't use it unless view is obscured from other drivers... You said its how you signal and its NOT. If your viewers are younger children come correct and explain yourself. Your thorough on everything else, why no that... Like i said , kicking around lookibg for trash videos
