My name is Mike or NVA as the channel name says. Just a guy with a Road Glide Special that wants to make some videos. As new parts come along I will be sharing the install and my thoughts about them. Will also be sharing some rides and thoughts along the way. Thank you for stopping by!
Every video on your RU-vid channel looks great, and I know you are struggling so much to increase video views and increase subscribers, and channel monetization, but not getting any results. I think your videos are great but if you SEO your videos properly and use high search volume ranking keywords. and make interesting thumbnails you will get better results in no time. I can help you to increase your RU-vid video SEO score and promote. I am an SEO Expert ang graphic designer Thank you Best regards
Welcome, back, Mike! Good to see you! I ride with my neck covered and sleeves...I had squamous cell skin cancer on my neck two years ago. Not fun. We have some of those shirts Reeltree maybe is the brand...they have SPF in them. Got ours at Wallyworld...that looks like a great shirt!
I have been shopping for a new jacket. Tried on a nice one the other day. Would keep the arms covered and offer some protection in case of an accident.
Yes, it has been a while since your last video. when it is hot outside, I usually wear those long sleeved fishing shirts, depending on how long I plan on being out. Since I always wear gloves, it helps prevent tan lines around my wrist.
That's the kind of shirt I'm looking at. Trying to keep it tucked under my glove to avoid that line. Haha. Just opposite of having a white ring because of my watch. 😀
I spray sun block on my face and neck, but everything else is covered... after my last m/c accident, my wife was insistent that I wear gear all the time - and she'd foot the bill for stuff I was comfy in and would wear all the time. Now, I have several jackets for different temps, including a Bohn Airtex shirt for super hot days. There's no abrasion resistance, but it has impact resistance ... and bonus, it makes me look like an out-of-work Power Ranger. Normally I wear a mesh jacket though. I find it quite comfy, even up into the 90s.
Sunblock is a good idea. This new shirt has a hood. Haven't tried putting it up under my helmet yet. I've started looking at mesh jackets too. They would offer a little more protection than a thin shirt in an accident.
@@NVARider I highly recommend mesh jackets, especially with built-in armor. It's not heavy to wear, but the benefits of no burn AND impact/abrasion resistance? Can't beat it! :D
I wear the sun blockers myself. I’ve got 6 or so of them. Once my tan gets good,around late May, I switch to tee’s. But I do still rotate to them. They are comfortable. Good to see ya out riding.
It’s like 1% clubs forget they’re in the real world. I average 7-10,000 miles a yr. Personally I just ignore them. It’s not like you’re going to have an intellectual conversation. Or decide world events. The forks in the roads serve a purpose.
I used to have it mounted right in front. Seemed like people were seeing too much of the dash. Getting a new helmet soon. Might set that one up with a couple different mounting locations for some variety. Thank you for your comment. 🤘
If you wearing a baby blue t shirt and a HJC helmet, brah your not 1%er material... Fvck them clubs seems like dudes wanna bow down to these criminals....
I am so sorry that you have been dealing with all this. I appreciate your courage to share your story with others to keep the topic of mental health out there. It's a great message to check in on folks, as you never know their struggles, and sometimes, small acts change people.
Man, that's just sad all around. I'm glad you shared it - that to me, is the first step in healing. Talking about it. I wish more people would reach out and say something when they're feeling that way. We all bring something to the table, and sure, someone probably deserves more, but it doesn't mean they don't deserve you too. Ride safe, man.
Very touching piece, my thoughts are with your family. I'm of a generation that is expected to plough through too. Two wheel therapy wins every time. Ride safe Pal
I’ve been riding with some younger folks recently. When they’re with me, they’re pretty sane, but I know a couple of them are not sane all the time. It scares me, but at the same time, I have tried to explain to them that they are not invincible. “Don’t be that guy!” Is exactly what I’m telling them. I am to constantly harp on my son, but the rest are on their own, and I can only wish them the best!!!
It is what it is. Let people ride their own ride. If you want to speed? Cool. Want to run from cops? Great. Want to cruise the speed limit? Fantastic. If I die because I lost control at 180 that’s a possibility I’ve accepted. We all make it sooner or later.
As long as riders don’t endanger any other people or families on the road idgaf how fast they go. It’s not my life. Most motor cops by me in Arizona all go faster than traffic; 50-55 in 45 mph zones and 80 in 65 mph zones. Looks like your in the country but in big cities it’s very different brother.
