Hello everyone! Welcome to my RU-vid channel. If you enjoy a small channel/ small town feel, you have definitely came to the right place. I pride myself with developing content that is relatable to the everyday rider. I will be uploading rides on my 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6-R. Typically, the rides will either be small group rides with a few friends or touring moto vlog style videos. I also have a 2020 Yamaha MT-03 which has been wrecked, but I am currently doing a rebuild on. The goal of the MT is going to be stunting. Most have found the channel via my crash. I do not intend on that being the peak of the channel. So come along for the ride and help the channel grow! It's going to be a fun ride so be sure to grab a chair and some biker friends and enjoy! Cheers
@timmit3579 lol some people don't understand and I've had a lot of people ask. You'd be surprised how many people haven't even operated a standard shift transmission and don't understand how it works. I didn't make the video for views I made it cause I have had people ask and figured it could be helpful.
Hey mate, glad to see you back. I was going to comment on the weekend to ask how you were going but didn't get around to it. I've not uploaded in a few weeks either. Been wet and cold here (it's winter here) so haven't been riding much because it's a pain getting rugged up like the michelin man and don't want to ride home in the dark when it's wet
@@boringkhaos i much prefer heat to cold. I went into a corner at speed a few weeks back, went to grab the front brake and my fingers were numb. Thankfully i was only precautionary braking, but still was a bit scary. It was about 40f. I've just bought some hand guards to attach to the bike to keep the wind off my hands. I'll give them a try whenever it stops raining. The rest of my body i can keep warm quite well. Hottest ride I've done was just under 100f and it was hot but ok. The worst bit is if you have to stop or just crawl along in traffic
I 100% agree with everything you said. I can say that I have put rubber gloves over my riding gloves and you would be amazed at how much it helps. Just because it keeps the wind off of your fingers.
@@boringkhaos I've trief nitrile mechanic gloves, washing up gloves and some thin fabric under my gloves (not all at once) but couldn't find anything big enough to go over my gloves. I tried plastic bags but they were too slippery. I bought some new winter gloves which helped a bit. The other part of the problem is that by the time i get downstairs, get the bike out from under the house and then get the last of my gear on, my hands are already cold, so the never get a chance to warm up in the gloves. I should get the bike out, then go get ready for work and be fully geared up before i leave the house
@mad082sss I say that too but I'm procrastinate too much. Lol. Try under the gloves. I think that's actually what I did. And now that I think of it it was those rubberized gardening gloves. They are like rubber on the outside and wool or some kinda fabric on the inside. It also helps I'm extremely warm blooded. And also takes no more than 10 minutes to go to work.
Hey just gotta keep your head up I was the same. I tore my quad when I wrecked. Then literally 2 days after I was able to get on we had a baby and it's just been unmotivated due to weather every since.
1000% had a pretty rough wreck. I didn't have motion in my knee for a few weeks. 2 days after I was able to get on the bike was in hospital and then it rained for 2 weeks straight. So motivation has been hard to come by. But I'm back now! Thanks bro!!
16:20 and 16:30 you keep moving your position to the left while entering a left turn, meaning you're going very close to oncoming vehicles, and after 16:30 you drift onto the other side. Have you thought about getting an instructor for an hour or two? Could be excellent content. See if it really makes a difference. Tip an instructor taught me was to look further ahead. That gives more time. That time you can use to be more aware of what's ahead, more time to position, be in the right gear, check mirrors, etc. You can see the road turning left but you don't need to ride the left of your lane, so close to traffic. You can practice riding center, riding center left, riding center right, holding each of those lines through corners. Just to practice you choosing the line, you being able to put the bike where you want it. Not just drifting. If you had known about this, maybe from instructor or videos/books (Road Craft UK Motorcycle Police Guide To Riding) then maybe you'd not have had this accident. However this was a relatively minor accident. It's a credit to you that you choose a slower bike, tried your best, was relatively cautious too. But it was clear to myself and other viewers that you couldn't corner well. Please consider hiring an instructor for an hour or two. Won't cost you much, and could really make a big difference to your life. Nice video. Good that you're ok and learning more.
Yeah I know it. I have corrected most of these things over the years. Thankfully nothing worse happened and I have enough people willing to help. I definitely have learned to stay in the 2 or 3 lp on stretches like this unless a long straight stretch I like lp1 that way I'm able to have a better line of sight
Man i aint fell of the earth, but I'm damn stuck on puttin them bars. I think i need new grips and the bar ends wont thread on either. Just hey man hows it hangin?
I got some rubber barends on Amazon and used those they're like a rubber one size fits all. Kind of like the universal freeze plugs if you ever used one. I also got grips from there but any of the 7/8 grips will work. Too bad you're not around here. I would love to help.
@@boringkhaos I found this video searching google images for “mt03 stunt bike” it’s such an underrated machine. First gear she comes up so nice. Would you consider getting that velocity stacks and a tune from 2wheel dynoworks?
I went from 350 2 stroke, 55 bhp, 150 kg, 330 lbs to a sports 600, 95 bhp, 205 kilo, 450 lbs. The extra weight was huge and made the handling much slower for changes of direction. Looking back I can see I was lucky to have had the time on the much lighter 350 than starting on a 600. Shortly after getting the 600 I accelerated briskly on a city street and a car came from a side road and turned into my path and blocked it. I baked hard, the car driver just froze, made no attempt to undo their blocking of the road, and i was able to brake, steer, slide the rear wheel accidentally, the front was steering safely to the side of the car, but the rear was sliding so it was still going in a line towards the edge of the car. I released the rear brake and it gripped and stepped enough for me to avoid the car. Way more power, acceleration and weight, which made it harder to get out of trouble. And a lot easier to get into it.
100% I upgraded to the 636 and was in the exact same scenario. I thought it was a learning curve just get used to it. After about a yeah I got the mt03 back and rode it a few times. It's not as exhilarating speed wise but the handling of the mt03 is amazing and very maneuvers very well
1:18 maybe a quick look as you're going into an intersection just to make sure nothing is busting through the lights. I ride in a city so we got taught to always check cross roads, junctions, because there's so much traffic. Looks like you have way less traffic, nice for you. Nice bike.
I am interested in this bike as a replacement/final bike for the 2002 BMW R1150R I sold to a more deserving owner...I am 65 years old and I would still like to ride, but I want something lighter & more easy to operate...This bike seems to be more to my requirements for a replacement bike...
This bike is amazing for what you are looking. It if very light and so easy to flip around corners and maneuver. It's tagged as "beginner" so there's very limited controls. It's the very basic. You get abs and lights and that's about it. It's nothing too much. The only downfall Is It's not overly torqued. But it'll do a little over 100. I recommend it to everyone
@@boringkhaos oh my first bike is an '05 Yamaha Vulcan 800 (cruiser not sport bike lol), I was just in a hurry to own something to get more practice on 😆 she is beautiful tho
dude, my first time on the dragon a few years ago I nearly wrecked on that same turn. It is the sneakiest turn (imo), not the hardest, but def the trickiest lol. Everytime I hit that turn I always get a little gunshy
It's so unnecessary but awesome. I went 58 tooth if I had to do it again I would try and find a 52 or around that. You run out of gear by the time the wheel is off the ground. My buddy can wheelie it in 3rd but he's about 100 pounds lighter than me.
I actually ordered a set off ebay and they got canceled 2 weeks later cause the guy said his dad died. This might sound scrappy but I don't know what that has to do with shipping my parts lol. I'm pretty patient didn't have to straight up cancel me haha
IMHO I would for a purpose built bike but just for commuting it's not necessary. My biggest debate is that my stock is damaged. And why buy oem when I can hit up ebay for 100 bucks
I wouldn't say I deleted it, haha. I more or less drove it around a few times, disconnecting sensors until I had a speedometer and was able to do brake skids lol. I'm pretty sure I ended up with the front sensor disconnected and back connected. Either that or vice versa. It was some trial and error to get what I wanted. As far as the bars go, it was simple. Just make sure to drill your holes for the controls otherwise they slide around. And you will have to cut a little bit off the ends to keep stock cable lengths.
For real! I'm thinking about customizing a hack job 12 bar and adding a support bar like a sissy bar somewhat like you see on cruisers. But I want to integrate it where I can do standing wheelies as I get better. It's in the thought process right now trying to decide what I wanna do. The initial idea was to completely hack it all off but there's some important stuff there lol
I 100% would get the mt03 again. I actually really still enjoy riding it. It's fun. It's super easy to ride. It's extremely forgiving if you get in a bind. It isn't so fast it'll get away from you. It's so easy to work on as a naked cause everything is accessible without dealing with all the fairings. Also God forbid you do wreck it, parts are crazy cheap.
@tas787 I'm sure there's other ways but I had to pay a dollar for an app on my computer and then learn how to process it. Then edit it in 180 change it back to 360 then upload it. And I can't do 180 and 360 in the same video it makes to flat 180 videos lol. At least I haven't figured it out yet
Don't recommend it Lol. I try not to but it's so tempting when there's a perfect gap and the cars are just riding same speed side by side. I wish we had more than 2 lanes on our highways here
