I don't know who you've been dating but the people I've been around prefer a lawn. shaved genitals equate to hours of itching, red bumps on every pore base, and full on shaved skin anywhere, tends to stick and demand breathing room. A bit of hair shows character, and shows you pay attention. none likes a wild hairy bush. all that stuck "crème", and not to mention smelly sweat comes from hair bases, in relation to the oil produced by hair. So don't shave your balls, clip them down within a millimeter, lower sweat, smell, and make your Odette look bigger.
Here’s how to enjoy your motorcycle as a noob: Wave to everyone on less than four wheels, pay no attention to if they wave back. Purchase a bike that you like (and can handle), and pay no attention to anyone who says you have the wrong bike.
Thats exactly what i am thinking. I dont think that supermotos are stupid, they are just stupid for me to buy, because i wont ever go off road, i dont like the looks and the stance you have on it
Can't tell you the number of times people try to tell me my CBR500R is heavy and underpowered. I have been eyeballing a nice used K1600 GT recently, maybe that'll hush them....oh there I go again talking about upgrades that will likely not happen. lol
maybe there is different. down here, "liter bikes" are prohibitive. so here i am. still enjoying my little 200cc. and i think i ride it more than lots of "big bike boys". some day, an upgrade will come. nothing fancy. something like cb500x or versys
For those who dont know, in the EU its law, your are age restricted to the cc size of the bike. Keeping you as a new guy alot safer, naturally if your over 25 you can just get a liter bike, but you still have to take riding classes and an exam. I used to think it was stupid, but those classes definitely helped me keep safe and understanding what to do and not. No one cares if your on a slow bike. You ride, your one of the guys.
I decided to join the America Legion Riders, so I took an ABATE training course, when I passed, I took the endorsement to the DMV. The ALR's said I needed a 750cc or bigger bike to join. I got a Honda Goldwing fully dressed, it was a very powerful & comfortable touring bike, but it was too much bike to get back up, when it fell over while trying to turn around in a parking lot. Next, I got a Honda Shadow VT750, cruiser it has good power, it's not as comfortable as the Goldwing on long rides, but I can handle it better in parking lots. I am very happy with it. Being water cooled & shaft driven works great for parades.
Started off on an dual sport. Switched to a rocket. Switched to a cruiser. Switched to a “plain” street bike. And now finally back to a dual sport again and will probably be here for awhile.
Started with a trail bike, got a small, old UJM/cruiser, then a larger, older UJM/cruiser, then that bike's big brother, then a much larger, slightly newer naked Japanese, then it's smaller brother, then that one's older brother. Now have a tiny UJM made in India. Have also had a Vespa Sprint along the way. Next will be a modern clubman. People have laughed at a couple of my rides, their laughter merely proved they knew nothing.
I have been riding for about 2 years now so I’m still real new to it. But I’m getting there but I’m also super happy to be riding my little Honda monkey it’s super fun and I don’t really need anything bigger for now. But hopefully in the future I can ride more and more 😊
@@MrMackAtack I ride within my capabilities. Only way I'm coming off is by getting hit. There are no cars where I ride so it's unlikely. Why, were you hoping?
@Michael Smith I live in the city. I ride in heavy traffic daily. Rush hour is insane. I just ride sensibly when it's not safe to go fast. Too many idiots on their phones, not looking when they pull out. The countryside is my playground. Its all about knowing the time and place. So I disagree sir. I'm always ready.
@Michael Smith 150mph plus on moorland roads says enough. 100mph plus in 30 zones occasionally. Form your own opinion. Most would say I ride like a prick. I'm far from a sensible rider, I just choose when and where. Stop trying to be an argumentative prick sir. It's unbecoming.
Im 18 and im Finishing building a scrambler from a chinabike. Megabudget but also pretty cool little off-road capable machine. 230cc‘s and a whopping 15 horses but she can cruise at 60 on the highway and is plenty o fun.
I love when non motorcyclist talk s*** when they find out that my ninja is a 400. "You're too big of a guy for that", " it probably can barely go on the highway", "what couldn't handle a 600".
#7, i have an electric, i make the motor noises myself. #6, my other bikes, one has pedals, the other's built to run on some wicked trailer tires, they're bias ply, they count. #5, i'm upgrading next week, with a trailer hitch. #4, dual bikes, yah, i dream of ralleye, see, i have my oil lamp ready to rub. #3, no clue, i'll be down the back roads looking for apple orchards and them gigantic red delicious apples. #2, i'll get around to converting it to run on steam some day. #1, i used some black shoe polish to make my tire look like it has chicken strips. my dream bike is a bmw k1.
The comment you made about scooter riders is great I live in italy I am 14 I see vespas everywhere and I am actually able to get one and a liscense at 14 in italy sadly only for 50cc
Im a noob.. and as noob as noob noob can be.. fresh out the packet and still crispy. Starting on a 150 Big Boy scoot and dont give a hoot. Dont plan to exceed the speed limit. Dont plan to have my brains splattered because i want to show off.. two weeks into riding.. the gentle nods from other riders on the pass.. fist bumps at traffic lights for joining the club from bad ass riders monster riders.. thats the part that makes me happy. Im still free even at a slower speed. Noob and proud of it 😁
I remember when I started on a 1982 RG250 two stroke all I heard all the time was “nice rice rocket”. 25yrs later it pls a $20k collectable. Ps if you haven’t felt bang on a two stroke rocket, ya haven’t lived. Had more fun on that the a GSX-R 750.
Im glad i haven't made any of these newb mistakes. 😑 I know Manscape is a sponsor but i got one for someone as a gift and it wouldnt take the code at the time for the discount. About 3 months later i got charged like $15 for a replacement head i did not order. I specifically did not sign up for the auto option. I had to contact and cancel it. Then, its a trimmer not a shaver so it won't make your balls smooth. Not unless you go at it with a razor after. Now i do like the light on the trimmer but after the first one i got for someone as a gift, i decided not to get one for myself. Sorry.
I’m extremely new to riding motorcycles, just got my bike about 2 months ago, and I guess I personally, am very content riding the speed limit on my 250cc rebel lol. I know I get looks for it on the road, but despite having a rebel, I am 1000% not a rebel lol
I said the same thing when I had my 78 camaro with 4:10 gears. "You need to take it easy and quit beating on this thing man.". Never happened lol. I don't think there was a day I drove that car where I didn't send it at least once. I am sure my neighbors HATED me lol.
Only a moped rider or a complete fool rides without leathers. Wow, you're so cool in hospital, having a skin graft and blood transfusion. I wish I was that great.
A tip I can give: don't care at all if you do things that identify you as a beginner infront of other riders. Waddle at a red light, don't mind not using every inch of your tire and don't mind going slow. As long you are having fun, opinions of other riders are irrelevant and you will get more comfortable with your bike naturally.
Kelevelin, I couldn't have said that better myself. I ride my bike for my time to unwind and shed the fire department gear, I don't leather up unless it's cold, I'm not out to impress anybody.
@@charlesparr3296 I actually wear leather almost always because the thought of falling at 50km/h already terrifies me (and I've heard stories and they're not pretty). So to me it's the opposite: I have to stand tall when people want to belittle me for wearing proper gear on a 125cc. But displacement doesn't matter when you flip over a car or scrape over the asphalt face down at 70km/h. I'm definitely not out to impress anybody. I just don't wanna have my skin fused with my pants.
@@raipa111 well said hanna I have a fetish for small cc two strokes . But it's not how good you can ride its the car next to you who has to be good . I was on an rs 125 fp 1999 .she was in a big metal box on wheels . First time in years I had no upper body armour .four years of surgery to rebuild my left arm
2 down, every cycle i pass. First time someone threw this at me was 11 years ago and MAN idk why it felt so good. Its like, someone I didnt know was accepting me into the brotherhood of 2 wheels
I nodded to a guy walking out of a shop the other day because he had leathers on, the instinct is too strong. Only people who don't get a nod are f*cking uber eat riders -_-
I got rid of my VFR in oct 2019, started riding a CBR600RR last month. I have become a complete and utter noob rider again. It's humbling but humiliating at the same time lmao. I didn't realize 10 more horsepower and 100 fewer pounds would make such a massive difference
I think that's a generally flawed approach. It depends entirely on how you want to use the bike. Becoming a great cruiser rider doesn't mean you're going to be a great superbike rider. People should start on the bike they feel most comfortable with, and one that fits their intended riding style. I started on a liter bike, and I'm glad I did. It saved me money in the long run by not having to upgrade several times to reach the top, and used liter bikes aren't much more than used 600/750cx bikes. I spent many hours practicing in the parking lot and on the DMV training course when I first started riding. I would say that made me a better rider than most 250 riders who think they don't need to practice because, "It's just a small bike."
Hey, I ride in full leather on the road too for the safety benefit. Dont make fun of that.... sliding on the pavement in leather is still way better. Talking from experience.
I have zero problem with anyone wearing full leathers in the street, over a person with no gear...as long as they are riding safe. Road rash ain't no joke, like you said. PLUS you need to break those bad boys in over time anyway, perfect excuse.
It is your personal choice, and probably he should not have mentioned that. But in all fairness, full leather is a bad choice for 90% riders. A proper set of riding jeans, a jacket, boots and gloves are way more convenient and flexible in terms of temperature and weather conditions. Safety wise, if everything is properly strapped, there will hardly be any difference between a street full leather and a "generic set". At least when we are talking sub light speeds. And it will be way more convenient for everyday use. Now, if you are riding in an actual sport, max safety race leather, that is a whole other thing altogether. But I genuinely have yet to see one outside of a track. After all, you can not confuse a real race leather with a generic "image" leather if you have seen people wear them at least once. This crab walk is unforgettable and hilarious, and both my mom and my girlfriend were laughing their asses off when they saw me coming back from our local track the first time. I wore my Alpinestars only a handful of times since then - super uncomfortable, back breaking on anything other than a track rocket and on an actual track. That is probably the worst $800 I have spent in my entire life.
As a duel sport rider I can confirm, it looks kinda lame, but Damn is it fun off-road and even on-road, *it’s more exciting to ride a slow bike fast then to ride a fast bike slow.*
THIS!!! My NC750X DCT is often called a scooter by “real MC riders”... I have yet to lose a stop line drag against any vehicle not considered a sports car...😂
I love my r3, tops out at 113- 115 if I'm pushing it hard, plenty of speed for now and still able to maneuver easily so its all good. Only been riding for 8 months, eventually I will get a r6 or a gixxer 750 but after I enjoy my r3 some more
@@landonfolken03 I'm a chungus, so I'm not passing on the highway on my Grom, but I'm off the line faster than most vehicles with either of my small bikes.
For a second I literally thought one of the things beginner motorcyclists say is “I don’t need to shave my nuts, they’re beautiful the way that they are.”
Heh, yeah I was thinking I’ve been riding 50 years (wtf!) and I’ve probably said all that shit at some time or another....uh, except the balls thing...🤣🤣🤣
My Dad: Oh you got another one of those huh? Me: I know you literally hate my bike choices, and are basically disowning me. You wanna go for a ride anyway? My Dad: Is a frogs ass watertight?
me in the begining: im not going to relate to anything here *first thing in the video* me: fck, you got me right there (i bought a 2005 r6 at 19 and said the exact same think to my mom) the result? i crashed, and broke my leg soooo.... listen to yammie, dont be stupid like i was 2 years ago, inexperience will kill you if you dont take your time to learn
@@klm2fm4 no matter the bike you get, always take the time to evolve with 'her' , some bikes will push you to do things that you dont know how to handle! Ride Safe
@@alexreitler it’s faster than a lot of people realize. Especially coming from regular, and even most modified cars, the R6 is significantly faster and requires more of you to work. This is coming from someone with a Miata set up for togue
Best thing about the MSF course was getting to try out all the different types of bikes, I ended up going standard even though I wanted a sport initially because of how much more comfortable it was! Cruisers weren't for me, but it was fun to try them out! No bikes are dumb, they're all fun :)
Exactly. I never had leather pants, but when I still rode, I would hardly ride without a leather jacket. And I was sure happy I had it on when the car in front of me stopped while entering a freeway while I had looked to my left to see if it was safe to merge. The leather took the impact a hell of a lot better than my skin would have.
Yep I wear full Leathers on the street so when you end up on the ground in your tennis shoes and skinny jeans you're going to wish you had Leathers too just saying 😂
i have textiles for the winter and leathers for the summer - i live in scotland so winters are cold and the summers are meh. just too warm for my winter gear but perfect for my leathers - the leathers most definitely are overkill for my 125cc sport bike but i find them surprisingly comfy and id rather have overkill gear than not enough
Yeah, I got taught no matter what you ride, road rash is road rash so it's generally a sensible idea to gear up, and that was by a dude who'd been biking longer than I'd been alive
@@cptsteele91 exactly what I was told. 30 mph is 30 mph no matter the bike had a 300 for a year rode with others to learn more on turns now on our turns I can finally keep up with bigger bikes without over pushing
Meh riding together is nice ive got a lot of friends riding and if the slower ones go in front then its really cool Backside needs to warn if assholes try ti overtake tho like literally if it was one bike sure have fun but 4 bikes carrying 4 to 6 souls ...
You can get decent riding jeans now that are AAA rated, same as leathers, the Kevlar is sawn into the denim and very safe (as safe as bikes can be) ride safe 😃
Very expensive, less comfortable for longer rides, might overheat you easily in warmer climates, and equally bad in cold weather due to lack of insulating options - and for street speed it's overkill (unless you get extremely unlucky). But I mean, if neither of those points are a negative to you then go ahead, high safety can never be a bad thing and who cares what we look like anyways. So many dudes (sometimes myself included) rock the exo armor thingies and look like the main character from Crysis lmao.
Yammie, as someone who has ridden since I was 5 years old, and am now 55, I can see that you get it. Riding is so much more if you can forget who got to the bottom of the canyon first, or who has the smallest chicken strip. Your mind is expanding rapidly Yammie, keep up the good work!
News flash: some people wear full gear on the street because of others around them driving like maniacs. Riding gear is like most "inconveniences", I'd rather always have it and never need it, than not have it once and need it.
you know yammie, when it's 30 degrees F I'm gonna zip up my two-piece leathers and put on my wool underwear and i don't care if anyone thinks I can or can't run lime road in 7 minutes ;)
I like my chicken strips. Gives me peace of mind knowing that if I overcook a corner, I can lean farther than I ever have and still have a shot at surviving.
Body position, proficient trail braking and counter steering is probably going to be a better solution than using up chicken strip's in that situation.
@@wradford1 Is this the motorcycling equivalent of "Git Gud"? And again, say you do all those things and you are *still* coming in too hot? Answer, lean lower and put faith in the tires. Chicken strips show how much emergency lean you have yet to use.
@@UncleDon226 Yes, well when you git gud you realize that just " leaning farther than you ever have " if you " overcook a corner " is not the solution and may not give you a better " shot at surviving "
@@wradford1 "Shit, I misjudged my entry speed! Let's think... The tires show I have more lean angle left, so I can push deeper and trust the tires. WAIT SHIT! Some guy on the internet said that is not the solution! I guess I'd better ride off into the ditch then. Shucks." Youre a real genius, arent you mate?
Since I've begun the process this past weekend to acquiring my first set of 2 wheels by the start of this summer, this vid is absolutely clutch. Thanks, Papa Yam, for producing 2 years' worth of content that finally brought me to the breaking point of pulling the trigger on this journey.
I’m still stuck trying to pick my bike. I don’t have a chance to actually test ride any of the three. Yamaha MT07 Honda CB650R Ducati V2 Gotta decide by the end of March.

I'm still shocked at the performance that my 19 year old 225 dual sport has. I ot that bike with the intention of buying something else for the street but it's actually plenty fast for me. (It's my first road bike)
@@dylank3333 I say cool, then go on my ride while they change the oil, trailer it to the OHV park about that time I am at the fish and chips place polishing off lunch over at the coast when I get the text.
Or construction zones. People whine about them but for me they are just opportunity. I like passing a hundred cars stuck because of construction. I know they're all watching me.
Yam, i agree with most of the stuff EXCEPT for the fairy dust. Never underestimate fairy dust! You could springle that stuff on a Harley Davidson and it would actually become a really good bike! okay maybe not.
Ive kept my carbs clean and oiled by using some lucas fuel conditioner (like seriously thick syrup) it helps lube everything up plus a tank of 93oct took 11months to go bad
@@benson4u215 Thanks for the tip! When I got the bike the carbs were leaking. I painstakingly removed them, tore them completely apart and rejetted/rebuilt them with some fresh seals after I scrubbed all the parts down. She runs great now!
LMFAO! I can relate to the first one. "I'll take it easy on my 600 mom, I'm not here to act like an idiot, I'm no dare devil". 10 Months later after purchasing my new 600, I'm already popping wheelies and trying to do stoppies! ✌
You are so right about people overlooking bikes because of their numbers not being as "good" as a competitor. The GSX-S 750 is a victim of this. People say its too heavy and has no power in comparison to the others. But what they don't realize is that it handles amazing, has a great sound, and it still is chill just cruising too. Might I add the seat is very comfortable.
Yammie, when I brought my second bike the kid I brought it from was 18 and had brought the bike 6 months before at 17 (the bike was an sv650). He said he was on his way to buy a gsxr 1000 and I said it was nice knowing him.
A well ridden SV can surprise riders of much faster bikes on twisty roads. I feel sad for the people who dismiss them as a beginner bike, or a girl's bike, so will never know how much fun they are to ride.
@@weevilinabox It all leads back to being a beginner rider isn't always about the time you spent on a bike, but rather whether your bike mentality has grown or not. Many people with 5-10 years of riding are still beginner riders in terms of mindset.
@@alexanderwoolverton2813 your SV650 is on every top 10 bike list ever. No joke. My son bought a used one and I had to ride it home. It is probably one of thee best handling bikes of all time. The acceleration is pretty good and you can modify it quite a bit. Great bang for the buck and perfect bike to get good on.
I learned to ride on a Rebel 250, got myself an FZ6 later (which I love and still have) but now I want an R3 also to learn fine control and extracting speed from riding something in which I am not the limiting factor to how fast I can go. Never let anyone shame you for riding small displacement bikes. It is so much more fun to ride a slow bike at the limit than to ride a fast bike well below the limit (applies to cars too)
Same here, my first bike was a Ninja 300. Rode it for three years then bought my new Z900. I have no regrets at all learning on the 300. I have a good friend that is a Harley knob and he gave me crP about getting the 300. Easiest way to shut down Harley knobs is to simply ask them how many times their bike has been in the shop the past year. Shuts them up every time 😄😄. Disclosure, not every person that owns a Harley is a knob, just specific ones, but, there are knobs in every brand.
As someone who has driven both 180mph cars and now a 150mph bike, i agree. Ive literally only hit 150 twice in my life. Both times in cars. And both sketchy as hell. The only thing i will say is that having the power on tap to go that fast does mean you can more easily avoid other idiots (because you're definitely in the idiot club with those machines in those situations). Other than that, there's really no benefit to having them. But i do love them.
Hi. I really like ur content man. I have been watching for almost two years waiting to get a bike and I’m finally getting an r3. I really appreciate the content and the beginner rider advice u have.
I started on a Ninja 250. Got it for a commuter bike for work, ended up being my 7 day a week, zippy curved mountain roads 2-4 hour road trip having a blast with 74mpg, bike. Small, light unbelievable control and plenty of power for riding. So, it was hard to pop a wheelie with, but I didn't do wheelies. My next bike was a Suzuki Vstrom 650 and it's my all around, can go pretty much anywhere and pack a full campsite with me + a lady friend, bike. I almost bought a bigger CC sport bike. Glad I didn't. I almost bought a single seat Honda Rebel 600. Glad I didn't. I almost bought a Harley Davidson XL883 Iron. SOOOOO glad I didn't. Vstrom Dual Sport is the perfect bike for me, and I don't care what anybody says.
Yammie Noob: beginners trash other riders who don't ride the same way as them Also Yammie Nub: People who ride twisties hard but never go to the track suck and are beginners
I grew up in dirt bikes so dual sports were a go to and I got a crf250l for my first on road bike. It’s been good almost put 1500 miles on it and I’m ready for a xr650l 😂
Fun Fact: It seems all Macy's parade balloons were released from their (official?) introduction in 1927 until 1932 when one wrapped around an airplane's wing causing it to tailspin. There was generally a reward for those who found and returned the balloons. Also, really love your vids. I'm watching because as a father of 5 in his mid 30's, I'm due for a mid-life crisis and looking to buy my first bike; probably something like a used 2019 Kawasaki Versys-x 300. Cheers!
I'm a still a noob rider. Got my permit in August of 2020 and a day later an MT-07. After putting 3600 miles on it since I purchased it, I can honestly say I have no interest in a liter bike. The MT-07 has plenty of power and being in California getting 55+ mpg is nicer than the 30s to mid 40's of a bigger bike with 91 being over $4 a gallon.
