MOTORCYCLES 101: for the girls (and guys but mainly for the girls) 

i don't understand why people think gear isn't cool, everytime i see someone in full gear i think they look so cool 😂

It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come!! I LOVE IT!! Keep going Vereena!!!

this is my first video of yours, and i'm already subscribed

how to be better at lane changing! (gauging if it's safe), and also how to start lane splitting! Thank youuu

Just got my first bike a few weeks ago and passed the msf course. I been contemplating this move for at least the past 5 years. I'm glad did. #XSR700

I love to see women participating in everything🥰

Your bike is soooooooooo cute!!! I adore that color. Every biker I have met IRL has been so welcoming. ❤ I'm a trans guy so unfortunately a lot of the stuff for the girlies still apply to me because a MAJORITY of gear review videos are fucken useless for me cause I'm a smaller person. 🥲 Like wow they rly don't care about women's safety, what else is new. My MSF course gave me the confidence to ride ! It was like $300 for me and they let me use afterpay on the website! So likeeee it's good & super worth! I just subscribed because u popped up on my recommendeds with this video. I started riding back in June! I'm 5ft2in so I'd look Forward to any gear reviews. I have a Honda Shadow Aero and I can flat foot it and it feels very comfortable and safe to ride cause it's a cruiser.

pls keep making this content!! i dont even ride and am too scared of crashing to try but my explore page is just motorcycle reels its so sick 🤍🤍

the constant pleading for the girlies to be safe when meeting new biker friends almost made me tear up 😭 the most compassionate heart.

As a girl rider, I agree fully with everything she stated: - don’t feel pressured with getting a bigger bike than you feel comfortable with. Better to lose money with an upgrade in 2 or 3 years and riding a bike you don’t feel comfortable with and have a bad accident or scare with irreversible consequences. - the bikes of the people who invite us are also a good indicator of their intentions or riding style. I’ve ridden more often with older men in big BMW GSs than fellow small displacement bike owners my age who show through social media what they ride (usually fully modded sports bikes) and how they ride (squids, barely any safety equipment). - don’t cheap out on equipment. It will save your skin and your life - don’t buy a bike just to ride with others. It took me a year until I felt that I could trust my skills and bike enough to handle the new things riding with others could carry - don’t buy a bike to save money, haha - check out for local trainings every year to polish your riding skills. I do it early with the local police and road authority and it’s an amazing way to start the riding season Open to address any other questions. Ride safe!

girl I could literally watch you talk about anything your passionate about because you can just see how genuine you are as a person

Hearing her talk about be careful who you ride with 😓... praying for you vereena 🩷 wishing you the speediest recovery😭

“It could be someone else’s mistake and cost you your life” 😭😭😭😭

Me a ("GUY") in the year of 2024 I think carrying pepper spray, gun, or pepper spray gun variant should be a 100% common sense move for woman to make....and for any guy to say that a woman is "doing too much" for taking those kinds of safety measures is stupid lol

Here’s a big tip to really emphasize-wear your gear. I do not care if you think it’s cute to wear a crop top and jeans or leggings or whatever. Do that off the bike. Please protect yourself on the bike. I see too many fellow biker girls who just wear like regular pants or worse leggings and then regular shirts and maybe not even a regular jacket (armored is the best anyways but more layers is better than none). You dress for the slide not the ride

Change can sometimes be the best thing, so excited for this new chapter/content

Fellow biker girl here! So excited for you to be doing female moto content! It’s rare and more ladies should definitely be a part of it if they’re interested. I started 2 years ago and love being a motorcycle gal

YAASSS i got my motorcycle license and getting my bike is on my goal list for 2024!!! thank you for the vid ily so much queen edit lol - im thinking about getting a yamaha r3!! im so excited to hear you shout it out as a good starter bike

Pink Tesla, pink motorcycle & 1 million subs on RU-vid. Vereena is blessed but we love her for it

Please don’t feel shy about posting new content as it’s seriously so exciting& different for us to watch!! I absolutely LOVE bike content and can’t wait for the bike vlogs where we get to join you for a ride😆 it’s making me miss riding bikes so bad though

Vereena, i hope you’re okay. you truly have impacted me & i’ve been looking everyday for updates about you. I love you , and hope everything is okay.

1:25 I think I can speak for most of your followers when I say we prefer to get content that makes you happy because it'll be the highest quality . When a youtuber posts stuff that they themselves dont even want to do but just do it because they think its what their followers still want, its noticeable and it becomes boring bc i feel like us watchers can tell when a youtubers heart is in it or not. Post whatever content your heart desires! This is your platform to explore and express yourself ❤ dont worry about those who choose to unsub, you shouldnt have to fit in a certain box just to please everyone. And people like variety its good to switch up content every now and then dont be nervous. This was a great video 😊

3 days course to learn everything about motorcycles! Here in Europe it's so hard to get a licence, after you have done the slow maneuver practice around 30 hours, and driven at least 600 km 30 to 40 hours in real roads with an instructor in a car behind you, you have to pass 3 tests (theoretical test, very serious and hard slow maneuver test and driving test in real roads), then and only then you get the licence. You will be amazed of new bikers here in Europe with the level of skills and experience they already gained before acquiring the licence. Keep up the good work and drive safe.

I was not interested in motorcycles at all but I love learning new things and mostly I love when people are embracing their passions 💜 keep doing you and show us what you enjoy in life 😍

i have always thought motorcycles n bikers were so cool and i’ve been stalling on if i could or since im short but vereena has helped me changed that! this is definitely a sign for me to start my bike journey next year!! can’t wait for all the future motorcycle content💗💗

i recently got my first bike and took a turn way to slow on the first day of having it lmaoo😭😭completely agree on everything you’re saying. you’re such a sweet soul, you’re so SMART and so beautiful. we love you so much V 💕💕💕 ty for looking out for the girlies!! women4women always

these old videos are eerie to watch now :*( i hope you can one day make a full recovery.

PREACHHH🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

I’m so happy for my motorcycle girlie 😻🫶🏾 your bike is so pretty!!! The pink and black, the little heart hoops on the back (I have no clue what those are 🥰) the kuromi sticker! The bike is literally perfect!! I remember watching the IG reels of you riding the black bike. You look like you were having so much fun! Can’t wait for you to post more motorcycle videos! ☺️💕

Thank you for the note about not letting people push you into a bike that is too powerful for you. You can always get more horsepower later when you are comfortable with a smaller bike.

For those that are worried about height, check your states laws about lowering your bike as well. CA doesnt allow it, but AZ does. Ive hurt my ankle riding in platforms & dont recommend it anymore 💚

Praying for you everyday Vereena ❤

I remember when I started & everyone tried to put me on a 600-1000. I’m so glad I didn't listen because my small bikes really taught me mechanics, more about bikes,& power differences.

Im devastated i just heardvthe news from Keisha and ❤❤❤❤❤ idk what to say but please pull through and come back. I had my daughter 7mo ago also have a son and i cannot imagine her parents pain right now. Their chest must feel like its on total fire 24/7. Please come back Vereena❤❤❤❤❤❤

HERE FROM INSTAGRAMMMMM

QUESTIONS 1.Because you've backpacked as a kid you obviously felt that familiarity with bikes but were there certain fears you had as a learner or newbe apart from the obvious? 2. When you finally bought your bike and was able to ride freely, on your first day riding out did you feel stupid or self conscious? 3. Hypothetically speaking; let's say I'm on a group ride with more experienced riders and they get carried away and leave me behind, do i, (a) try to catch up but carefully at my own pace if there is a meeting point, (b) stop and try to get in contact if i can, or (c) just go back home if i feel hopeless 4. For a new rider, do you suggest going shorter distances at first just to get more familiar and comfortable? Or is it a go with what i can handle typa thing?

Pepper spray?!, step your game up and conceal carry like the guys do

Oh vereena how much I’m thinking & praying for you! I hate that a passion of yours turned into such a tragedy :/ ❤️❤️

The end of this video hits so hard- we love you girl

I am about to turn 50 and just got my first bike, and I am all for girls getting out and riding! It's SOOOOOO freeing... I signed up for the MSF through our local Harley dealership as a birthday present for myself, and we had our online class and written test, then 2 days of on-bike classes before taking our test. I had started looking at used bikes to start out when I initially signed up for the class and was wanting something to just tool around on - I got lucky and found a friend who had a bike she bought her daughter to learn on, but her daughter wanted a cruiser. So we bought it, picked it up, and the next week I took my class. I have me a sweet little 2012 Honda CBR250RA that I absolutely love. I do tippy-toe on it (I'm 5-3 in cleats) and I'm taking my time. Keep riding, keep learning, and keep vlogging - we all need to see women starting out where we are so we can get that confidence to progress

motorcycles fucking suck. she is in critical condition after a crash that killed her friend. hoping she makes it through.

Wow it’s so easy to have the motorcycle licence in California! In Europe, you have to take a writing test, a dozen hours of riding lessons, a driving test on the road and another test testing your capabilities like slow riding, urgency braking etc.. and for the first two years having your licence you can’t drive a bike too big. (Like not bigger than 650cc). It’s a whole commitment, like I wish it was easier to get it but at the same time it’s a way to make it safer for everyone on the road so yeah :)

Watching this after her accident. Praying for you and your family Vereena! 😭

Did ya wrap the bike or painted it over cuz it looks awesome. + are the underglow light legal??

Praying for u queen ❤

i didn't know who you were until yesterday when i saw a reel of yours on ig with your pink bike, so ICONIC!!!! literally goals, i'm following you everywhere now lol. Pls do "how-to" videos for all things bike for dummies who are interested in bikes like me but have no idea what they're doing (literally how to ride, correct posture, foot positioning, different/changing gears, stalling, front/rear breaking, good exercises to improve riding, etc)

I’ve always wanted to have a Barbie bike since I was a little girl. This is really motivating me to start that dream.

Fellow newbie on a Ninja 400, and also 5'1", so this was a joy to watch. FWIW I'm of east Asian descent so I'm about 90% torso. I have these stumpy little legs and I can only get one tiptoe down, so I'll legit be lowering my bike until I have the balance/skills/coordination to be able to reliably pop a cheek off at intersections and not have it HADOUKEN me into the ground. Sports bikes like these are so top-heavy, when they tip they really pound you into the tarmac. Ask me how I know 🙃 It's heartbreaking but true what you say about there being creeps and weirdos on bikes just like every other interest, and women needing to carry just as much caution with them as everywhere else. There are so many brilliant, kindhearted, wonderful souls out there on two wheels but they're not the problem, and I wish other dudes understood that a bit better. Really hope this vid inspires more women and femmes to jump on two wheels though. All hobbies and interests benefit from more diverse enthusiasts participating.

just bought my first bike, a grom and looking for all the tips and tricks i can get

Just to say as a guy biker I can confirm some of my friends hit on new bikers just cause they want a girl with a similar interest However there are a few of us who just love watching noobs turn into a pro watching the process is just heartwarming

You must talk about Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I’ve never clicked so fast on a video before, love you and your bike girly 😩🩷

If you're short, I can't recommend the Honda Rebel line enough. The seat is only 27 inches off the ground, and the smallest one (300) is under $5K brand new and can get up to 80mph (albeit not quickly). If you're after something more "sporty", then get used to the tip toe. As long as you can put 1 foot down, you can ride it

this hurts to watch now, hope you pull through vereena

Ughh I was obsessed with motorcycles as a kid and it was my dream to ride. I think after watching your motor content I’m gonna try to get over my irrational driving fear and try and get my motorcycle license

I definitely want more motorcycle content!! I could honestly sit here and listen to you talk about motorcycles for hours. I’ve always really loved them and maybe hope to get one in the future.

this is so exciting! Thank you for making this, I can’t wait to get mine. Definitely been nervous about being a biker girly but this video definitely made me feel like it’s a safe space. Thank you!!!

Hi I love you, been here since you lived in your mom’s house. I’ve loved watching you grow up and slay.

I was with you until you said that gear is optional, at that point no. Gear is very important dawg. It's already fucking dangerous to ride even with it, imagine without it.

I want to know what kinda bike I should get as a beginner I want something fast enough for the highway bit definitely still beginner.... I wanna wrap it myself as well ❤

No way you went from taking rides with your dad to being the one driving. Im so proud been watching you forever. Live your live precious.💗

Oh vereena i hope you get out of the hospital soon😢

Do a bike tour pls!! Would love to know more details about your bike and how you decorated it to fit you and your personality!!

As a girlie who is struggling to ride bless your heart 💜

Not to be anti social, but I think one of the more common ways new riders get into trouble is by going on group rides too early, especially with long established friends who ride bikes. Too often those friends, because they've been riding with each other for so long, tend to forget you're new to it, (because you're just one of the friends they're used to hanging with), and they ride at a much higher skill levels. It's very hard for a new rider not to be sucked into riding beyond their skill level because they don't want to let the others down. Don't be afraid to tell them you're not comfortable enough with your bike yet to ride with them. Most riders will understand and respect you for that statement. So I think it's very important to ride by yourself for a good while, 6 months, a year, depending on how often you get out. Then start to look for group rides, if you like. Best if you find a group who always lets the slowest/newest rider take the lead and set the pace. If they constantly leave you behind, at the lights, in the twisties, etc., this isn't the group to ride with. Or, as some of the people here mention, ride with older people. They tend to be way more conscientious towards the newer rider and are just over all calmer riders.

GSXR600 was my first baby. I DID end up lowering it as im only 5"2...that made all the difference at stops and gave me stronger footing and control over the weight of my bike, making it feel much safer. no difference in handling. My second bike was a stretched and lowered gsxr- don't recommend that because the turning ratios were all screwed. I learned in Alaska where I was in the army and the military offered a free course- def don't ride without a course. I took it down to Miami when I moved, and it got totaled at a red light when some lady t boned me. Cities are sketch- so always be extra extra alert. Tips- Add drop bumpers ( in case you drop your bike you won't scratch your up all your panels ), & ALWAYS wear your protective gear.My second accident happened the *one time * I left vest at home, and I broke my collar bone, lower back, and rib that day. Also, trust your instincts.. I had an irie feeling when I was leaving the house that day but bypassed it...esp as a woman our intuition is strong. * also, loud exhaust is your friend .. add a custom one for safety- cuz these cars don't be looking for ya.

Vereena we need a video on how you’ve modded or altered your bike from stock ( wrap, decor, exhaust, etc) pleaseee

I ride dirt bikes and I really want to get a street bike, do I still need a lower cc bike to start? (I have a Kawasaki kx450 )

Im getting into bikes, and ive been looking for more gal specific adivce, thank uuu

Vereena is my fav RU-vidr, she’s so genuinely nice, smart and she’s beautiful, she’s queen !

make sure for gear your wearing a HELMET (most important) and gloves and boots at the start

Thank you for making this! I've been scouring the internet for videos to introduce the basics of riding and motorcycles, and it's sooo hard to find videos from girls and I think we have some specific experiences that are important to be aware of. Thank you!!!

I’m very beginner rider and omg! You are amazing person! Please, make more videos of your experience, studying or thoughts about bike!! You are super informative and helpful! Specially for girls.. on our language. 😭😍

I'm a fellow girlie who wanted to get into bikes because of the internet, but my mum is a nurse and my dad has a fear of motorcycles from his childhood, so it will have to stay a nice dream haha "while it is a form of therapy, it is not my therapist" is such an important sentence to say, it is INSANE how many people confuse the two. Riding is not therapy, it's a coping mechanism. If it were therapy, people wouldn't feel the need to go on a ride after a certain amount of time. Very good vid with lots of important info 👍 Be epic & stay safe y'all

Can you give us a deep-dive into your bike?? I love it, and i wanna get one in lavender 🥹💕

We miss you Vareena ): I hope you come back 😢

Man hearing she got into an accident is sort of scaring me away from bikes. Hope she makes a full recovery

i would also recommend pepper GEL to the girlies!!! doesn’t blow away in the wind n goes straight where you’re pointing it!!

It's a preferred mode of transport. I used to cycle to College about 6 miles each way. So soon as i was legal to ride a motorbike i got one, no brainer, the fun of being on a bike but no more pedalling!😮 I don't understand cyclists. Thank you Vereena.👏👏👏👏👏 Now Newbs in LA have someone to sit down and chat with. Tips. Tuck laces in, don't ride with shoe/boot laces hanging, they can wrap round the gear shift lever and prevent you putting your foot down. Just kick quickly to snap them, cheaper than fixing a danaged bike.👍 Don't ride with your visor fully open, a bug hitting you at 30mph is like a stone hitting your face! I park my bike in first gear, stops it rolling off the sidestand if some drunk falls into your bike, and stops an idiot wheeling it away. Keep house keys in your pocket, don't have a whole bunch of keys on your ignition key coz it can scratch paintwork and if you do a jump the weight can pull the keys out, then you'll need to go back and find them. I should make this number 1, gentle braking. It's not like a car where you put all your weight on a pedal, the bike is a lot lighter and just a gentle squeeze is needed even in an emergency. Please practice slowing down quickly. Just keep up with traffic flow and don't be going too fast too soon. ❤️+✌️

My little sister absolutely loves motorcycles and since I ride one, she’s always begging me to take her on a ride, but I haven’t really looked into age safety. Btw she’s 11. Is there an age requirement for riding with ppl? I js want her to be safe.

Just seen the insta post so excited much love vereena keep doing you love 💗 🩷

I got my motorcycle license last year and just started riding on my bike & im so happy to have found your video & channel!! ❤️

YAAAAAAS I've been waiting for this video. Looking forward to more bike vids

125 to start was enough for me🙌 😅 you gota have a death wish starting on a 600cc 😂

In my case being in MD, I took the Harley Davidson MSF course and it was 300-something bucks Friday evening to Sunday. The class in the evening was in-person and went over written basics. Saturday was the first day on the bikes and it was quite nice but overall the class was brutal due in part to the coach but due to his "hazing" I felt better prepared especially for heavy DMV traffic. To put into perspective we had about 20 people in the class to start... by the end it was just 3 people including me. Quite a few dropped out, some had mental breakdowns and some were involuntarily ejected from the class... any time someone dropped the bike or in one case, wrecked we'd have to sit there with the bike on, hand on the clutch until the coach returned which could be 40min. Overall it was very enjoyable. Due to various issues we fell behind and we had to do more learning stuff before we did our actual riding test. After the riding portion it was the written exam and if you passed, you received your voucher and all you had to do was go to the MVA and get the "M" put on your license! My biggest tip is dress comfortably! I made the mistake of having a BLACK motorcycle textile (Johnny Rocket) jacket at the end of September and it was hot and HUMID. I was sweating so much and uncomfortable... all you need for the class is long sleeves and boots that cover the ankles with some gloves. Wear a light sweater or something and flat boots. BILT makes affordable riding high top sneaker boots which I used and were great. The women in my class mostly had heels and it seems like a pita to shift or brake reliably. Also bring a LOT of water and snacks that aren't thirst provoking. Motorcycling is a lot more physical than I initially thought it'd be and that can take its toll so stay hydrated. I cramped up so hard... you don't have to lol. During the class REALLY focus on the slow maneuvers and try to get them down. As she said in the video, the bike will be harder to control at slower speeds - understand how to counter-balance and maybe even ask your coach for tips! As far as first bikes go, I got an Indian Scout Bobber and while that's over 1200 CC's, it was very manageable. Cruisers in general would be an excellent option due to their gearing and overall power or lack thereof... with the low center of gravity you can build up some confidence. Now I am looking for a bike for my wife who is about 5'5" or so - cruisers aren't necessarily the best for her if you're thinking of "out of the box" riding. Her feet can touch the ground but she can't really reach which isn't a problem if you just get longer bars. She sat on sport bikes and felt way more comfortable... you're higher up, sure but the bike can be easily lowered. The main thing is her arms could reach the handlebar and turn it without and discomfort or straining. As far as gear goes, invest in the gear you want the first time. I got some friends that recently got into riding and they got cheap gear that really didn't stand up to daily riding or they had major complaints and kept spending on cheap gear. Get something that is quality rather than buying junk that will eventually surpass the price of that piece of gear you want. She hit the nail on the head with safety though. Even as a guy, people have done some sketchy stuff and came at me for no reason. Be careful who you associate with and ride within your limits. Don't let people pressure you to go faster. This may be me being an introvert though but I really don't have people to ride with even though some friends do ride now (they aren't always about it lol). That said, if you're at a group ride, don't be afraid to dip if ppl get wild.

You’ve inspired me to start to ride when I get older! Thanks for the tips, and I will definitely be doing the course lol

Thank you for the video! I just decided i will take my biker license (I'm from Brazil so the process is hella different) but hearing your words as a female biker made me even more confident in my decison. I don't want to become a rider for hobbie, but I see many opportunities for me now in having one over a car specially reggarding traffic. If everything goes right, by the end of the year I will have my license and my motorcycle to be able to visit my family for christmas. I do have many friends with bikes so I will see if right after I got my license they ride with me for me to gain more confidence, as the road for my family town is some hours away. Wish me luck! Brazil's licensing process is a pain

B.A.D.D. Stands for B- bikers A-against D- dumb D- drivers Remember this lady’s

I bought a bright pink moped over a month ago and I still haven’t road it to work. I fell off it once already, so I’m kinda scared. Love your motorcycle. It’s so pretty. I love that shade of pink.

so real for talking about the consuming thoughts. I am so inspired by you but know I'm not at a place in life to start my bike journey, but I am so happy to watch yours. you're doing great and I can't wait for more videos!!

Ive been trying to hype myself up to get my licence because i wanna ride with my dad

In my country (Brazil) you HAVE TO take 20hrs of theorical classes about traffic, first aid, basic mechanics etc, and then a test, and aaafter the test you take a minimum of 20hrs of practical classes riding a motorcycle in a closed circuit, then another test and THEN you can ride a motorcycle on the streets! (same for cars!)

wait, but isnt riding rules and whats legal or not different in different countries?

The best point here is definitely not being pushed to a bigger bike early. You’ll notice the more you meet people the people that will try to push you to a bigger bike are often the riders with less skill and only care about speed. Ride smart, master skills, and only move up when you have out grown the bikes capabilities. Most riders accidents are riders trying exceeding their skills while riding bikes that exceed them as well. Big ups bike fam

The pink bike and pink car is iconic 💕✨ in love

You seem like such a wise girl. Great content, great tips. ❤ Subscribed.

Hey, I’m new!!! Can anybody give me an estimate on how much it costs to wrap a bike like she has it?

I DONT WANT MY COOCHIE TO HURT😭😭😭😭

Hey , beautiful bike . Get tank grips , it will help the coochie cramps lol 🎉😂❤

girly! you are going to change my life so much and you were so informative on things that i wanted to know. I love you so much!
