"Growler Batter" 🤣🤣 You guys should have so many more subscribers. The content is so much more fun than all other motorcycle channels. I only started watching you guys a few months ago. I watched all of your budget bike challenges and they have kept me entertained during this shitty lockdown.
How I lost my job working for “The Lady Boys Of Bangkok” Some years ago I got a part time job doing night shift security for the Lady Boys of Bangkok stage show. It was a rather easy job as all I had to do was sit outside and watch the modular event venue over night which had a stage, bar and table seating for the audience. It was all set up rather plush inside with wooden flooring, fancy carpets, velvet curtains along with other types of chic decor. My only task was to prevent anyone from entering the venue over night, especially anyone trying to sneak in to cause mischief as the the crew would set up the stage and room each night before they left ready for the following days early show. On one particular night I thought it would be a good idea to bring my big Rottweiler dog along with me to work for a bit of company. All was well (or so I thought) and I headed home the next morning to go to bed. Later that day I was abruptly woken up by my phone ringing, it was my manager who started screaming down the phone at me that I was “seen in work with a big dog” I quickly tried to apologise for my lack of judgement in bringing my dog to work but before I could finish they screamed “YOUR DOG HAS SH!T ALL OVER THE VENUE AND THE MATINEE SHOW HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF YOU!” As it turned out, my very own dog had sneaked inside the venue that night without me seeing him, caused all kinds of mischief including having a good play with some of the props and eating his way through a big box of cheese and onion crisps at the bar then emptied his bowels everywhere, generously scattering it throughout the entire venue (bad case of the scoots). When the staff arrived into work that day they initially thought it was me who had carried out this absolute rampage on the place until one witness reported seeing the dog. Needless to say, that was the end of my career with the Lady Boys of Bangkok and event security in general. #whyarai If at that time I could’ve owned a superb Arai helmet I would’ve got a motorbike sooner and rode to work instead, forcing me to leave the dog at home and thus avoiding the whole “Sh!t Show”
I went to bed one night, and noticed from my bedroom window that some guys broke into my garage and were nicking my bike. I phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and I said "No". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that I should simply lock my door and an officer would be along when available. I said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my garage. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then I hang up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at my house and caught the robbers red-handed. One of the Policemen said to me: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" I said, "Yeah, and I thought you said there was nobody available!". #WhyArai
So the irony of tracks with noise limits hits new levels with a track I have near me in Arizona. They have a 96dB limit, which is rather difficult with stock exhausts, especially the Ducati's I have. Here's the ironic part, this track is right next to an Air Force base that has F-35s, which are incredibly loud!!! Fun episode guys!
I have to do that too RE the test. Its ridiculous. Not been able to get a booking for mod1/2 tests since covid hit. Even when the restrictions were laxed, the examiners barely went to work, and the instructors had too many people they needed to get through.
Back in 2007 racing in bemsee/MRO, myself and Mike booth was stood on top of our friends camper watching at Pembrey... and boothy thought it would be funny to spit a big greeny on his dads head who was stood below.... NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH IN MY LIFE 🤣🤣🤣
Story time: Once I was going through the attic at my grandfathers house after he passed away, we found many old relics which were amazing to see! He was very reserved about his younger days living in germany so we didnt know alot about him, only what he and our grandmother told us in their later life, after a few hours of digging we made a great discovery! He was an electrician! He must have kept his uniform, it was very smart and had two lighting bolts! #whyarai
Love this show. Would like it more if you can do that 'segmentation' thing where you give links to the different topics along with HH:MM for each topic. Would also love to see you switch wigs in the intro when you each say one word. Would prefer AGV over Arai, but they are also good helmets. Cheers!
Chris, about the diet: the key is to realize that the urge to eat junk food comes more from an emotional need than a bodily need. You should see eating healthy, whole foods as a gift to your body, feeding and fueling it, while junk or 'comfort' food gives your body lots of work and not much nutrition. So if you're saying you don't enjoy your diet now, change your perception of what food is and what it's there for, you'll be happy any time you get a healthy meal because you'll know it's the best choice on all levels. Then you still might want a unhealthy snack or meal once in a while, and it'll be totally fine to do that because your body is stronger and well fed in general. Good luck!
Gents..... drink your water! One thing that made a big difference to my weight loss is making sure I drank plenty of water... if you don’t your body retains it and will cause your body weight will wobble all over the shop. Keep up the good work!
There once were a couple of motorcycle journalists who offered to give out a helmet of the winners choice from the best helmet manufacturer Arai. Some guy asked #whyarai ? Well Because of them being the best of course.
Mr Grumble... dear god, do you crack me up. I've missed your vlogs, but thank the jizz gods, you've now given us these videos. Much needed laughs - I thank you and your co-host.
Its probably not the light hearted, pube joke riddled story you were looking for, but this Autumn my brother and I both passed our full motorbike tests together after being on an A2s for the last 5 years. This means I can now ride my dads Bonneville which he left to us when he died of cancer in 2019. Ive been using a Biltwell helmet whilst riding my old 400, but think I'm gonna need an upgrade to a safer lid for the big bike! Thanks for the many chuckles during lockdown lads! #whyarai

Short Helmet related story; my wife purchased my first motorcycle helmet for me prior to me getting my first bike, 2 years ago, a Schuberth S2. She purchased it for me for my birthday and thought she was getting a great close-out (discount) deal at a local SoCal mom and pop shop. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to her and I, the helmet was 4 years into its shelf life and motorcycle helmets have a 5-year replacement interval (due to material structure in the helmet innards degrading overtime) regardless of if they're used or not. So I'm, currently, riding with a helmet that is 1 year past its life expectancy. Moral of the story, I could really use a new helmet that is not expired....as to which helmet I'd opt for the RX-7V in Diamond Black #whyarai
So there I stood in the carpark of the range. As I donned the last of my bike gear to brave the winter temperatures making sure the piercing winds couldn’t get to me. I looked over at the van parked beside me, a big transit with the guff stickers that only campers have. It was swung carelessly across three parking spaces. What a knob I thought. I pull my helmet on and in the corner of my eye I see the van has started rolling forwards. With the wheel turned it is slowly careening towards a lovely little Astra. Being the good person (or idiot) I am, I decided to throw myself infront of the van before it did any damage. I pushed against it with all my newly gathered lockdown mass and managed to stop it just in time. Now you may think that I am garnishing this with a little artistic flair but it was honestly just a few centimetres away when I stopped it. I pushed it back a few more centimetres and then realised I'm fucked. Now I can’t move or the van will roll into the car, nor am I strong enough to roll it any further back. I call out across the carpark to the man counting heads going into the store. There is a que of onlookers with their glazed lockdown expressions… nobody comes to help me. The trusty hand sanitiser man called the licence plate over the tannoy and a Polish couple rushed outside to their rolling home being held at bay by a sweaty biker, initially panicked but then relieved there is no damage. The driver gave me a socially safe gloved fist bump and was on his way. The owners of the Astra will never know the heroics that took place that fateful say. I guess what I’m saying is not all hero’s wear capes… some wear Arai. #WhyArai
My wife doesn’t believe me to this day, that I had my helmet nicked right in front of me, as I chatted to a mate in Kennington? I had to go and buy a new one, so I could ride home. #whyarai
The thing that confuses me the most about the uk motorcycle licence is that you take the theory test, you know the one about understanding the signs, lanes, position and all that, before the level 2 test. Even if you have already got a car licence. No need to take a theory test to ride a 125 though. So anyone, from anywhere, at age 17 can do a days training, buy a 125cc bike that can get up to 70mph/125kmh, get insurance and ride on the public highway.
Some gash news this week but my Nanna made it funny!! Long story short I gets a message saying “hi love it’s your Nanna, your grandad has died lol” whilst I though this was some kind of sick joke I called her and she thought it meant “lots of love”😂😂 #whyarai
I took my Wife to a night club. There's this guy on the dance floor giving it large, break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works! My Wife turns round to me and says "see that guy, he proposed to me 25 years ago and I turned him down" I said "Looks like he's still fucking celebrating" #WhyArai would have come in handy for what followed ⛑
Keen to support but always miss the boat on the Merch! Gutted. Any additional Rosso Hoodies to come? And any plans to ever do a re-run of Jizz drip tees? Love the content and you always deliver. Despite the budget differences, your hard work and passion delivers a product up there with some of the big mainstream stuff. Thanks for the laughs. Best motorcycle channel going.
I need a helmet to protect myself from all the beating I get from my dad. I ran away from home but if he gets to me only an Arai helmet would save me #whyarai. JK, Long story short. I wanted to do my motorcycle license since forever now but my mom would not let me. Right now I am doing an MSc in Aerospace engineering and I have managed to get enough bursary money to finally do my license and get a bike and decent equipment after I graduate. The helmet would help alleviate the burden of buying expensive equipment but if I don't win I get everything anyways. Here is the story: 2 months ago one of my good friends finally got his license and purchased a Transalp. In his description of the Instagram post, he asked who to name his bike. As a joke, I wrote down Bridge co*k, Because it's going to bridge the distance between his co*k and some fresh punani, as one of his most important aspect in life is to meet new hot chicks. He liked the name a lot and to continue the joke I have made a logo: imgur.com/fq1sN0n that turned out not that bad. Since we have this logo for this very exclusivist bike group made out of 2 guys, the only things I need are the bike, license, and the equipment so the helmet would help me get started. PS: Long time fan, keep it up with the good work. #whyarai
#whyarai picked up my new R1 got to the set of traffic lights at my home town. Pulled up to the lights with a big crowd of people stood in the park opposite. Thought “I know let’s go big off the lights” while waiting for the lights to change green I notice sticker on the lower section of the fairing near my right foot. For some unknown reason I thought it was a brilliant idea to reach down and remove the sticker. I bent down to remove said sticker and leant past the point of no return and subsequently fell head first off the bike. Dropping the bike smashing my helmet into the tarmac and then I couldn’t lift the bike up. I looked like a right knob! Gents competition aside the lockdown show is amazing!!! Thank you ❤️
#WhyArai I was watching this episode of the lockdown show and saw the Fat Chat pass by again. When I saw this again I started to doubt myself. I am going to get my amateur racing license at the beginning of April but due to the Lockdown and all that ordered Japanese food I have gained quite a bit. Now I just tried on my helmet and suit but it is now too tight. I hope that I win the helmet because I think that the Japanese are also responsible for not fitting my own racing helmet anymore!!Thats #WhyArai
Viewer from the US here. "Smart" motor ways sounds like a quick way to get americans to tear down a capitol building. Love you guys keep up the great work as always.
My mate once caught someone in a stairwell laid on the floor, panicked, dragged them off the floor thinking they had had a heart attack (nice guy, shit paramedic). Turns out the poor lad was praying. Thats #whyarai
Little anecdote: So a couple of years ago I've passed my MOD1 (I believe you guys call it) on the A2 license. 1 week after I did, the Dutch government decided that one could go for A (full) if you are 21+ as of 1st of November, premises is you have to ride A2 bikes for 2 years and it will automatically turn into the full license... I could then choose to redo MOD1 again for A full (which is exactly the same as on A2), so I flushed +-€100, or just take my MOD2 on A2 and be able to ride, and have my A exam again in the future. Guess who became 21 on November 1st that year... AND now still has an A2 license.... To date, no governmental institution in the NL can explain to me why they cannot simply turn my A2 license into A full after 3 years #WhyArai Loving the show guys, keep it up!
(A)t my first track day, I learned that. (R)acing is a warm feeling like no other. (A)drenaline was pouring out of my body. (I)t also happened to be brown. #whyarai
Fell off my bike last October. I'd always wanted to have something in common with a celebrity. Now I've got a skid mark on my helmet, just like Tom Daley. #whyarai
I’ve just got financed up to the eyeballs on a new GS, just to piss my neighbours off because they want another bratty kid. I’ll need a new helmet for when they damage mine with bricks #whyarai
I just got a bidet this week. I think I finally figured out how to properly use it without feeling like a water jet is sawing me in half. I think I understand what all the fuss is about. #whyarai
Went out for my 1hour daily lockdown exercise, A lady walking my way with stunning thighs, Gave it my all and with my surprise, She stared to see my helmet arise, I took it out with the hope to Mesmerise, She scream so loud at the sight of my Nolan which was a little oversize, She said with a helmet that size, where is my Arai, I cried and said there too expensive to buy That’s why I need my shiny new Arai #whyArai
One fine sunny summer morning I decided to take the stunning KLR to work. It was set to be a glorious ride, but wait where's my phone?! It was left haphazardly upstairs so I had only one choice and went to retrieve it. On the way back down the stairs I took a tumble, which let me make good time on the descent but I wouldn't recommend. Thankfully I had all of my riding gear on so I was able to hop up and dust myself off free of any injuries! The ride after such an event was truly phenomenal. You know what they say, all the gear all the time. #WhyArai
I once rode in an abandoned train tunnel with my versys. Made it halfway through only to find out that the end of the tunnel was filled with a meter of water. With no way to turn around due to the cramped space. I ventured on and waded through the water, keeping on the gas as to not hydrolock the bike. I made to the last 100m before I hit a rail, lost the front, and dumped the bike into the water. I then proceded to drag the bike out and lay it on its side to drain all the water it swallowed up. After 10 minutes I gave it a start and it started like brand new. Thanks Kawasaki I'm sure this would be covered under warranty! #whyarai
I used to have a BMW GS that I loved, I rode it everywhere and affectionately named it the "Nazi Tractor". One day on the way home after a small bit of 'front wheel lift' it went into a tank slapper and threw me off. Thankfully I was okay and the bike was still rideable if a bit tatty from then on. After the accident though I never loved the bike in the same way, it made me feel uneasy and I no longer trusted it. In the end I gave up on it and traded it in. A few years later I stopped at a cafe with a mate on a ride out. Some commotion was kicking off in their kitchen and we realised the place was on fire. We both legged it out as the room filled with smoke. We got outside and my mate realised he'd left his new Arai lid under the table. I went back up to the door, took a deep breath and sucked all the smoke out of the room, allowing him to dash in and grab his prized lid. No one could believe what they saw, they were coming up to me asking how I did it "Oh that was easy" I told them "I'm an ex-tractor fan!". Even more miraculously my mates lid was totally unmarked from the blaze, a true testament to the quality and that is #WhyArai
I've just turned 19 and built my first bike, now I just need to save money until I'm 25 for my under 20s insurance, and spend any helmet money on a nice juicy growler so two old codgers wearing wigs can stare at my muff for amusement and make me feel like I've achieved something substantial. That's #whyarai
I went through the A2 licence shittery. When I did my mod 2 test for the unrestricted A licence at 21 years old, the examiner took us out of the test centre car park and we rode a few hundred yards before he said to me down the intercom; "I can see you're moving up from an A2 licence so basically today we will go for a spin down some country roads and you'll have an unrestricted licence at the end of it." Obviously, this particular examiner was sound and might have been an exception, but for me the whole experience did prove that the second test was (and is) pointless... but, as you said, it's all about the MULAR for the UK gov...
The format and production value of this show is spot on.

How I lost my job working for “The Lady Boys Of Bangkok”
Some years ago I got a part time job doing night shift security for the Lady Boys of Bangkok stage show. It was a rather easy job as all I had to do was sit outside and watch the modular event venue over night which had a stage, bar and table seating for the audience. It was all set up rather plush inside with wooden flooring, fancy carpets, velvet curtains along with other types of chic decor. My only task was to prevent anyone from entering the venue over night, especially anyone trying to sneak in to cause mischief as the the crew would set up the stage and room each night before they left ready for the following days early show.
On one particular night I thought it would be a good idea to bring my big Rottweiler dog along with me to work for a bit of company. All was well (or so I thought) and I headed home the next morning to go to bed.
Later that day I was abruptly woken up by my phone ringing, it was my manager who started screaming down the phone at me that I was “seen in work with a big dog” I quickly tried to apologise for my lack of judgement in bringing my dog to work but before I could finish they screamed “YOUR DOG HAS SH!T ALL OVER THE VENUE AND THE MATINEE SHOW HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF YOU!”
As it turned out, my very own dog had sneaked inside the venue that night without me seeing him, caused all kinds of mischief including having a good play with some of the props and eating his way through a big box of cheese and onion crisps at the bar then emptied his bowels everywhere, generously scattering it throughout the entire venue (bad case of the scoots). When the staff arrived into work that day they initially thought it was me who had carried out this absolute rampage on the place until one witness reported seeing the dog.

Would you take an optional super test after 1 year of passing, that was much harder, but allowed you to do 80 in a 60 and 100 on motorways?
took me a moment to realise Boothy by the mattress had a phone in his pocket and not a rocket in his pants

Some gash news this week but my Nanna made it funny!! Long story short I gets a message saying “hi love it’s your Nanna, your grandad has died lol” whilst I though this was some kind of sick joke I called her and she thought it meant “lots of love”😂😂 #whyarai
It does.

LOL to your family
I’m old enough to remember when television was this good.
I finally saw Boothy's famous alley last weekend. Only cost me a cheeseburger. Boothy's such a nice lad, too.
The normal tariff is a chicken mayo... but a cheeseburger will do. If it's a double. Anyway thanks, you're nice too xx
Good to see Boothy excited with what appears to be a lob on.......
I took my Wife to a night club. There's this guy on the dance floor giving it large, break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works! My Wife turns round to me and says "see that guy, he proposed to me 25 years ago and I turned him down"
I said "Looks like he's still fucking celebrating"
#WhyArai would have come in handy for what followed ⛑
Keen to support but always miss the boat on the Merch! Gutted. Any additional Rosso Hoodies to come? And any plans to ever do a re-run of Jizz drip tees? Love the content and you always deliver. Despite the budget differences, your hard work and passion delivers a product up there with some of the big mainstream stuff. Thanks for the laughs. Best motorcycle channel going.
I need a helmet to protect myself from all the beating I get from my dad. I ran away from home but if he gets to me only an Arai helmet would save me #whyarai.
JK, Long story short. I wanted to do my motorcycle license since forever now but my mom would not let me. Right now I am doing an MSc in Aerospace engineering and I have managed to get enough bursary money to finally do my license and get a bike and decent equipment after I graduate. The helmet would help alleviate the burden of buying expensive equipment but if I don't win I get everything anyways. Here is the story: 2 months ago one of my good friends finally got his license and purchased a Transalp. In his description of the Instagram post, he asked who to name his bike. As a joke, I wrote down Bridge co*k, Because it's going to bridge the distance between his co*k and some fresh punani, as one of his most important aspect in life is to meet new hot chicks. He liked the name a lot and to continue the joke I have made a logo: imgur.com/fq1sN0n that turned out not that bad. Since we have this logo for this very exclusivist bike group made out of 2 guys, the only things I need are the bike, license, and the equipment so the helmet would help me get started. PS: Long time fan, keep it up with the good work. #whyarai
Same as in Australia , top speed in Australia is 110 km/hr .
His phone reacted when it heard the word "Blower". Interesting.
#whyarai picked up my new R1 got to the set of traffic lights at my home town. Pulled up to the lights with a big crowd of people stood in the park opposite. Thought “I know let’s go big off the lights” while waiting for the lights to change green I notice sticker on the lower section of the fairing near my right foot. For some unknown reason I thought it was a brilliant idea to reach down and remove the sticker. I bent down to remove said sticker and leant past the point of no return and subsequently fell head first off the bike. Dropping the bike smashing my helmet into the tarmac and then I couldn’t lift the bike up. I looked like a right knob!
Gents competition aside the lockdown show is amazing!!! Thank you ❤️
Svartpilen? Sounds like an Austrian market haemmorhoid suppositories brand.
two motorcycles from Massimo Tamburini in the background. Well done gentlemen. My respect.
#WhyArai I was watching this episode of the lockdown show and saw the Fat Chat pass by again.
When I saw this again I started to doubt myself. I am going to get my amateur racing license at the beginning of April but due to the Lockdown and all that ordered Japanese food I have gained quite a bit.
Now I just tried on my helmet and suit but it is now too tight. I hope that I win the helmet because I think that the Japanese are also responsible for not fitting my own racing helmet anymore!!Thats #WhyArai
That's a damn good reason to win this Arai haha!
Used to have Zards on my 1098 years ago, loved them, and a nice change to the ubiquitous Termis.
Neil's man cave is AMAZING!!!
I need to seriously up my game to make my cave anywhere near that. Amazing.
Mine isnt neat but i make stuff in there with me lathe and miller...lockdown bling..!
Have you ever tried the very rare, elusive Ginsters spicy meatball slice? They seem exclusive to motorway service stations - try one
Because when I said to the Mrs ‘put ye helmet on you’re going through the headboard’ she didn’t have one. #whyArai
Thinner grip on the throttle? Isn't it the thicker grip on the throttle?
I thoroughly enjoyed your performance on the masked singer as the dragon Sue, sad to see you go home. I even guessed it was you! #WhyArai
Viewer from the US here. "Smart" motor ways sounds like a quick way to get americans to tear down a capitol building. Love you guys keep up the great work as always.
My mate once caught someone in a stairwell laid on the floor, panicked, dragged them off the floor thinking they had had a heart attack (nice guy, shit paramedic). Turns out the poor lad was praying. Thats #whyarai
Little anecdote: So a couple of years ago I've passed my MOD1 (I believe you guys call it) on the A2 license. 1 week after I did, the Dutch government decided that one could go for A (full) if you are 21+ as of 1st of November, premises is you have to ride A2 bikes for 2 years and it will automatically turn into the full license... I could then choose to redo MOD1 again for A full (which is exactly the same as on A2), so I flushed +-€100, or just take my MOD2 on A2 and be able to ride, and have my A exam again in the future. Guess who became 21 on November 1st that year... AND now still has an A2 license.... To date, no governmental institution in the NL can explain to me why they cannot simply turn my A2 license into A full after 3 years #WhyArai
Loving the show guys, keep it up!
(A)t my first track day, I learned that.
(R)acing is a warm feeling like no other.
(A)drenaline was pouring out of my body.
(I)t also happened to be brown.
#whyarai
Thanks for cheering me up guys. Needed a good laugh! And Chris, 'wank stain' is without doubt the best derogatory term ever uttered. Brilliant!
I rode to Olivers mount from Leeds in my shark helmet and a problem 'arai'sed i was completely deaf #whyarai
Coxy's growler is basically growler docking
Fell off my bike last October. I'd always wanted to have something in common with a celebrity. Now I've got a skid mark on my helmet, just like Tom Daley. #whyarai
😂😂😂 get this man a medal
Moby on the left Bollock, Heston Blumenthall on the Right Bollock, and a Charlie Chaplain waving his cane on top.
My helmet was stolen and I got laid off so I don't know when I can get a new #whyarai
I know everyone always says this but you guys are absolute legends! That is all
After falling out with the wife, she damaged my little old helmet. Now I need a new one to put my cheesy head into #whyarai
The mattress is still there ???
It looks like someone was using it
I’ve just got financed up to the eyeballs on a new GS, just to piss my neighbours off because they want another bratty kid. I’ll need a new helmet for when they damage mine with bricks #whyarai
I just got a bidet this week. I think I finally figured out how to properly use it without feeling like a water jet is sawing me in half. I think I understand what all the fuss is about. #whyarai
Went out for my 1hour daily lockdown exercise,
A lady walking my way with stunning thighs,
Gave it my all and with my surprise,
She stared to see my helmet arise,
I took it out with the hope to Mesmerise,
She scream so loud at the sight of my Nolan which was a little oversize,
She said with a helmet that size,
where is my Arai,
I cried and said there too expensive to buy
That’s why I need my shiny new Arai #whyArai
😂
One fine sunny summer morning I decided to take the stunning KLR to work. It was set to be a glorious ride, but wait where's my phone?! It was left haphazardly upstairs so I had only one choice and went to retrieve it. On the way back down the stairs I took a tumble, which let me make good time on the descent but I wouldn't recommend. Thankfully I had all of my riding gear on so I was able to hop up and dust myself off free of any injuries! The ride after such an event was truly phenomenal. You know what they say, all the gear all the time.
#WhyArai
Both of you, just remember; muscle weighs more than fat! You must be getting buff...
I once rode in an abandoned train tunnel with my versys. Made it halfway through only to find out that the end of the tunnel was filled with a meter of water. With no way to turn around due to the cramped space. I ventured on and waded through the water, keeping on the gas as to not hydrolock the bike. I made to the last 100m before I hit a rail, lost the front, and dumped the bike into the water. I then proceded to drag the bike out and lay it on its side to drain all the water it swallowed up. After 10 minutes I gave it a start and it started like brand new. Thanks Kawasaki I'm sure this would be covered under warranty! #whyarai
When i was 14 i was polishing helmet with my headphones on watching hairy Karen 3 only to turn around to see a cuppa and my washing folded #whyArai
Heard that “story “ many times...Don’t know Rick...sounds fake to me......
20:00 thought James was installing a horn there
As I'm allergic to ED medication (Viagra, etc) I need to trick my Grindr dates with another kind of hard, shiny helmet in my profile #whyarai
I used to have a BMW GS that I loved, I rode it everywhere and affectionately named it the "Nazi Tractor". One day on the way home after a small bit of 'front wheel lift' it went into a tank slapper and threw me off. Thankfully I was okay and the bike was still rideable if a bit tatty from then on. After the accident though I never loved the bike in the same way, it made me feel uneasy and I no longer trusted it. In the end I gave up on it and traded it in. A few years later I stopped at a cafe with a mate on a ride out. Some commotion was kicking off in their kitchen and we realised the place was on fire. We both legged it out as the room filled with smoke. We got outside and my mate realised he'd left his new Arai lid under the table. I went back up to the door, took a deep breath and sucked all the smoke out of the room, allowing him to dash in and grab his prized lid. No one could believe what they saw, they were coming up to me asking how I did it "Oh that was easy" I told them "I'm an ex-tractor fan!". Even more miraculously my mates lid was totally unmarked from the blaze, a true testament to the quality and that is #WhyArai
I've just turned 19 and built my first bike, now I just need to save money until I'm 25 for my under 20s insurance, and spend any helmet money on a nice juicy growler so two old codgers wearing wigs can stare at my muff for amusement and make me feel like I've achieved something substantial. That's #whyarai
Found this channel today and I’m already loving it
I’ve just spent 10 minutes trying to write a short story, I can’t write for shit so give up...the end #whyarai
Good Julian Ryder impression!
I love the Busa. The new one has cruise control. I can’t have more than one.
I went through the A2 licence shittery. When I did my mod 2 test for the unrestricted A licence at 21 years old, the examiner took us out of the test centre car park and we rode a few hundred yards before he said to me down the intercom; "I can see you're moving up from an A2 licence so basically today we will go for a spin down some country roads and you'll have an unrestricted licence at the end of it."
Obviously, this particular examiner was sound and might have been an exception, but for me the whole experience did prove that the second test was (and is) pointless... but, as you said, it's all about the MULAR for the UK gov...
Lightweights (or not so light), I’ve lost 13.6lbs now since 11th Jan. Dieting is shit so I always get to target weight asap!
