    As much as I value this video, I think in reality if I was stranded somewhere with my bike alone then I'd just stare at the ground until I turned into a skeleton.

    "Pretty much anything that falls off of your bike can be wired back on in a pinch."
    Even as a superbike rider, I can vouch for this and wish I had heard this advice sooner. Had my kickstand bolt back out on a ride and lost the bolt. Kickstand bouncing all over the road under my foot and I had nothing to reattach it with. Thought that the safest bet was to cut it loose, hoping the sensor would still register the stand in the "up" position. It didn't. The bike wouldn't run, and I had to sit on top of the bike (nothing to lean it against) for 3 hours while my buddy rode back to get my truck and trailer and drive it back to me to haul it away. Lesson learned.

    Carry small bolts and nuts in addition to wire! I recall going down the highway and having the clutch lever bolt rattle out. Was saved by a farmer who grabbed a nail and bent it around to keep it set. Did another hundred miles before getting to a more permanent solution. It worked in a pinch!

    Note RE tourniquets: Even if you are fuzzy on proper technique, it's probably best to attempt the tourniquet if you're bleeding out. :) Having said that, just pack a CAT in the med-kit. Don't waste time using a strap.

    Every time I watch your vids bro, I’m bugged by one enduring conundrum: As a guy who has also always looked young for my age, What’s it like being in your 30s and still being asked for ID in bars?
    Thank you for sharing these tips.
    Another is to remember just how strong and useful duct tape is, and how readily its glued side sticks together. You can create a totally watertight seal this way. Fuel and oil will prevent it from holding, and heat will degrade it over time. But my Ford Mondeo has a gaiter of the stuff which I renew periodically.
    Ergo, air leaks on the inlet side can be fixed semi permanently using a combination of duct tape and wire around the inlet and carb or accelerator body. You can make gaskets from it too.
    Remove the cardboard core to save space.
    Ride safe, and beware of moose during the rutting season 😜

    The best 'save your life' mod is to bypass the kick stand safety switch so every time you hit a big pothole your engine doesn't momentarily stall. Also use a rubber band to capture your kick stand so the same situation doesn't cause it to drop on rough roads

    I added fog and driving lights as well as upgrade my headlight to 2x bright LED. The LED fog lights are connected to a controller that allows strobing the lights in different patterns. I use them in heavy traffic, only during daylight. Strobing lights at night are distracting and disorienting. I do notice few cars pulling out in front of me when they are flashing. Some people [in Thailand] use red and blue lights, but they are illegal. Better seen and fined; than dead and buried.

I "fixed" it with duct tape........4-5-6-7 times a month...A fellow biker told me to use electrical tape but not the dollar store shit (dollar stores where not a thing then but ya get the point). 4-5 yrs later I sold that bike with the first lot of electrical tape I used.

      it is illegal in most EU countries. just like the DRL bright leds if your low beam is on (that's the law). and of course you cannot switch off the low beam on modern bikes without building in an extra switch to change between DRL and low beam. (no, i'm not speaking of the super new bikes sold after 2015). i'm still using white DRLs though, because it just simply feels safer.

As soon as we started to roll down the shoulder of the road, it started raining like crazy. My visor was fogging up BAD so I had to leave it open. As I was getting my face pelted like crazy with huge rain drops, my dad was going to damn fast. I BARELY made it home in one piece. I burnt up my back brake that day as well as being scared to death. Shit was crazy. I dont recommend it.

      @tommy605 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is incorrect Newt. The highway traffic act specifies only flashing blue lights are illegal (as well as red lights of course) , and even then, it's not limited to police vehicles. Snow removal vehicles also use them. If the blue lights are on all of the time, or even under the bike neon/led accent lights, there is no current law against it. Many LED headlights appear blue and people even put in ones that are intentionally more blue. Not illegal because they're not flashing.
      Here's a link that explains it, and it has links to the actual government sites where you can check.

      I'm not familiar with Ontario legislation, but BC has a catch all section that says vehicles cannot be equipped with a light unless authorized by the regulations. Essentially that means any light on the vehicle has to be performing a function described in the regulations.
      The Ontario legislation lists this as an amendment that was to be enacted in 2017. It doesn't show whether that's happened to bring it into force. Notice it doesn't say anything about flashing or what direction the lights face:
      "Red and blue lights restricted
      (14.1) In addition to the lighting requirements in this Part, a vehicle described in subsection (14.2) may carry lamps that cast red and blue lights, but no other motor vehicle shall carry lamps that cast red and blue lights."

      @STho205 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mark Ukrainetz. Yep. I handed my wife a $2 whistle kit from Walmart for her hikes. It is a whistle built into a 2cm by 8cm dry tube, with a compass at one end, a mirror in the cap, and flint strips on three sides. The tube, I packed waterproof matches, five aspirin, some tow (tinder), some Band-Aids, some moleskin, a betadine wipe, and some string. She carries a knife so if the matches won't work, she can spark the flints. That is much more useful for the average offroader than the Canadian Survival kit, unless you plan to fish. Whistle is better than anything if you are run off the road into a ravine and now invisible.
      Look for them. I have one in my kayak, in my bike, in my car. I do live deep in a national forest on a treacherous road and have a real first aid kit in my car. Oh always, always carry a small LED flashlight.

You dont wanna lose a leg if its not nesesary, if the wound isnt that big just get cloth and apply presure till help arrives, if you lost a foot or something like that always apply the torniquete closest to the wound as possible sense you dont want to lose more leg than nesesary either... Hope this helps be careful on the road and always keep a phone nearby!

    A properly applied tourniquet will not cause an embolism or make you lose a limb. If you're in a position where you need a tourniquet you most likely won't be able to get all that rope off your bike. If you're concerned about having a tourniquet, buy a real tourniquet and add it to your first aid kit.
    Most all states in the United States it is illegal to have blue lights on your vehicle while on public roads. You would only be able to use them on private property.
    And as for the rest of your items to save your life why would you cut up your bike to store something. If you're that concerned buy a bag to mount properly.
