Awful & Awesome Motorcycle Gear - How to Spot the Difference 

wtf :D

LMAO

I’m dead hahahah

However short that may be lol

quality

Emrys dude wow

DOT stands for "department of transportation" here in the states. And yes it's an outdated extension of bureaucratic inefficiency, you'd come to expect from a United states government agency.

@@JohnTheRevelat0r You're a researcher working for biased companies, not a valid source

@@EazyDuz18 ah, good ol' "liberal is biased", according to your totally "not biased, open minded" head...

yammie disagrees

This Channel shits on Yammie noob

Best channel on the internet for motorcycles

@@n.jurenic yammie sounds like a drama channel.

Yammie is great, but the content at F9 is just in a different league. I wouldn't compare them, but I still enjoy both.

This was three years ago. Just checking in. You ok bud?

I think he's not

I think he happily upgraded and didn't need to watch any more of these videos :)

Rest in pieces buddy

R.I.P.😓

Great work guys. You just made it easier for new riders to sift through the jargon. Love your videos.

Yep. It was very well done. Happy subscriber here.

I also agree!

Excellent video. Sifting through the b.s. the companies tell us to what really counts. Hats off to you. I guess Canadians are more honest and tell it like it is, aaaaaa.

Seriously, I love these guys

Well I am a super mechanical engineer and I 100% disagree.

I'm gay

They never did anyway. ~RF9

Hey, if manufacturers can't take criticism and adjust appropriately & TRUTHFULLY, then they don't deserve to be in business. Thank God for people like Ryan and FortNine.

@@FortNine and thats what we want , thats how we get good information and not what the markerting dept wants them to say

That should be normal. Sad it isn't.

As I understand, it's the whole point, the channel is unsponsored except by the store itself (FortNine).

@Ken Mason huh

@Ken Mason ah ok got it. Almost flew off a GSXR 600 today on I95 from a pothole

@Ken Mason wild!

@Ken Mason by saying “highway bars”, do you mean “crash bars” ? Assuming so, I can’t understand how they would have prevented the PD officer from getting “launched” after T-boning a car …. you’d expect him to get launched from that sort of impact with, or without highway (crash) bars.

@Ken Mason Highway bars and crash bars are the same thing. Their main use as far as I know is to create a buffer between the tarmac and the motorcycle so that a rider's leg won't get crushed under the bike. So I think you might have been right in saying that it was a budget justification, because they won't stop you from getting launched like a hot potato when you hit something hard enough to travel 60ft lol I could be wrong though, I'm no expert

Ollie K. What's not to believe? They're just a retailer, whatever you choose to buy, you're still buying. Plus it makes them look good.

@@gwot I think they're just trying to make the customers buy most expensive stuff. And i dont deny that all this kevlar, carbon, goretex etc. is good, but is it SO good or SO better than others to pay such a money for it?

To explain clearly what I mean: for example a jacket with goretex membrane (removable) costs 50% more than jacket with other membrane and 3x more than jacket with no membrane (european market). Instead you can use a rainsuit for 1/10 price of a goretex insert, which is good, but really not so perfect (practicaly tested). So if u have an unlimited budget to spend for that fancy fabrics it's ok, but otherwise...

...if dino's were just imaginary

Angel Lawless beat analogy ever

Angel Lawless that show actually slaps

This is very apt.

MCrider Hi MCrider I see you watch FortNine as well! love your channel too, you've been a huge help to me as a returning rider!

@MCrider I can say the same for you.. 🙂

Apparently only the best watch the best ;P

There's an endorsement:-) love both u guys videos

MCrider, FortNine and CycleCruza. These 3 are the best

Period

Well I worked in powersports for well over 17 years and this is hands down one of the worst videos I've seen

You're probably right.

They're all the people who have the helmet he was making fun of... and have been telling all their friends "It's the best helmet made... and only paid $99 for it!! I'm a REALLY smart shopper!"

Just the bad ones

The dislikes are from genuinely informed people.. “Ece offers less impact attenuation” That is misleading. Ece helmets are more flexible/less hard then Snell helmets (Snell mandate higher tolerances for penetration and thus require thicker and harder shells to pass), these means Snell helmets are heavier and stiffer, making Ece helmets lighter and softer, more flexible, meaning they ATTENUATE impacts much better, this leads researchers to believe Ece helmets are better because they absorb and attenuate impact forces to the brain, which statistically account to the majority of head injuries to riders, unlike penetrating sharp objects that account to a very little percentage of injuries, which makes Snell helmets a little out of focus, because in trying to be very strict about making hard and thick shells, they have made their helmets heavier (which is not good in a crash) and harder (which attenuate less impacts and transmit more forces to the brain). Fourtnine should get informed before misleading people

Right I was wondering the same, cause how can anyone be salty for safety! I agreed

MotoJitsu is also good for just straight quality of instruction on safe riding.

Even better than tv shows.

Yep, we're working on it. ~RF9

royal enfield himalayan pleeeaaasssee! Seems like a lot of bike for the price but would like to see it put through your paces

no no royal enfields. They'd never leave the parking lot without losing some nuts and bolts.

Ducati Multistrada 1260 please !

I second the Him-ah-lee-un!

*That's* the saying I was looking for. ~RF9

I prefer the NewsRadio version: " he spends all his time in the basement tying flys and neglecting his personal hygiene." Advice given to a Canadian, no less (Phil Hartman) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dPy6lYeH1XQ.html

Dammit, Bloody... I've told you to stop stalking me when I'm out on the boat! Around town is fine...

everyone has purchased a junk helmet...that's how you learn...go for a $200 plus helmet and check the specs. i like scorpion bc they are cheap and well rated... Thank you for wearing a helmet these guys in the u.s. wear baseball caps....so dumb. I like my track rated helmet

Even a DOT helmet is better than no helmet 🤷‍♂️

@@208Concepts It's my only consolation ;(

Dude I swear the Chinese are ruining EVERYTHING !!

I've read that it's actually a myth. That there's no official China Export mark but there's plenty of products that mark themselves CE while they're not or products that misuse the mark so that the spacing is wrong.

CE garments will be tested with the Darmstadt machine moving forward. It spins at a certain speed (~25 - 120km/h depending on the rating level) then drops the fabric samples onto concrete until they stop. The point of wear-through is detected by an electric current running through a metal plate behind each fabric sample, I believe. It's pretty cool!

i think mips has been covered in his other video search for 'What's Inside the Best Motorcycle Helmets of 2021?'

I prefer NIPS

Same here

Mooze Ahmad , I keep thinking the same thing. I want to give back and show appreciation with my patronage but being in the US, I keep getting rerouted to RevZilla lol.

Or meth, in which case, he'll no longer be hungry.

Don't teach a man to fish and you can eat fir a life time. He's a grown man. Fishing isnt hard.

Give a man a fish, and he'll probably tell people he caught it, and sell tickets to the place where.

@@FortNine …. FUCKING EH ?

ML - He IS a great teacher. I learn a lot from him and I've been riding since before Ryan was a twinkle in his father's eye!
