So Van, it seems as though you read the post/message I left you after watching your previous video. It had more to do with you replacing or “not” replacing Isabelle’s bike. I appreciate you addressing the dangers associated with motorcycle riding, not glorifying it. 2021 is a dangerous time to ride, especially with the number of people texting and driving and/or blasting the thump thump music. Not to mention the amount of traffic these days. Inattentive driving is rampant and only getting worse. I Wish I could talk you out of replacing your woman’s bike, but that’s between you and her. Hopefully you’ll make the right choice! Take care.

@JimsEquipmentShed 3 года назад

@@marcusortelius8375 I got most of my speeding out of the way in my 20’s and 30’s. Back before the states were reciprocal. As long as you paid the fines, nothing came back to roost. So instead of three speeding tickets in a year and you are out, it was pretty much as many as you can afford when you are out of state. Pennsylvania was my favorite for that, they had billboards meant to scare you with the fine listed next to each speed in 10mph increments. No math required, I could just peg it up to the highest speed I could afford. ;-)

Slight correction from a spirited former motorcycle safety instructor: About half of all motorcycle accidents involve the use of alcohol on *SOMEONE'S* part. It's not always the motorcyclist who is drunk, though admittedly, drinking and riding motorcycles are very much culturally intertwined in the USA.

And when one got home from a Party lots of germans of my age used to switch on their TVs when they couldn't sleep and watched this show and it's the most calming thing ever.

@mayunkaluthantri114 3 года назад

Just reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance, I have a feeling the Spirited man in this video has read it. When I first read it, last March at the start of the first Lockdown, I abandoned a long-term plan to buy a Royal Enfield and bought a little, 24 year old Honda CD90 that had been loved and treated well. Bought her in the hill country of Kandy Sri Lanka, drove her 200 Km around the hills and then back to the capital of Colombo then packed all my things on the little CD90 and moved to quiet costal town another 200 or so kilometres away from the capital. She hasn't let me down once. I don't have the money for a bigger motorcycle and little Kali Kitten isn't great for long-road trips, but I ride her daily and wouldn't trade her for a soul unless of course it was a another Spirited man or woman. Thanks for this Van. Life is rich.

@ezza_t 3 года назад

I've lived in Berlin go the last 10 years where I no longer had the need to own or drive a car, and where I now only ever use my bicycle to get around. In the last couple years a small desire has been building up inside me to go the next step and buy a motorcycle. But I've sat on the fence about it for the very reasons Van mentioned about how dangerous it is. But I gotta say, watching this video has really fuelled that wish again, in a big way. It just looks absolutely liberating and total freedom. So I'm not sitting on the fence anymore. Tomorrow, this spirited man is going to buy himself a motorcycle. Thank you Van

In August of 2020 I cleaned her up, rebuilt the 4 carbs, only to dump her in the neighborhood on the maiden voyage just around the block due to an improper screw setting. An amateur’s mistake. The minor road rash on the arm, scar from the exhaust through the pants above the high boot, a few scratches and dents on the bike, and a bruised ego aside this spirited man will tame the beast and ride again.

During that time, I experienced road rash during my one fall at low speed into slightly gravelly mud. I experienced great joy driving across the countryside. I learned that it is much cooler when you pass through a patch of trees. It was a learning experience I will forever treasure. I am not a motorcycle man, it turns out. I do appreciate why there are motorcycle men, and women, and always try to watch out for them.

But on the 30mph nugget, its different, you can go 30, but 23 is nice too, no rush, the small plate indicates you cant go fast, cars pas you, and you just, get a break from the day.

So much fun and gear shifting in 5 mins in my old 5-speed Scirocco.

I make it a rule to wear the highest level back protector then armoured jacket over it then an air bag vest over it too and a neck brace all hi viz. And install third party 2021 safety tech add ons to my mirrors and the rear. Always utilizing safety technology. Its better to have 4 eyes than two.

I had a Honda 125 as a teenager. My parents rode bikes. Thanks for the film.

Wonderful Van, thanks. Please release the 20 min version Maybe as a quad split (or tri- split) screen? Like timecode 2000? Even if they don't sync up! Thanks!

And remember kids, always wear the proper motorcycle protective clothing. When you disobey road signs and speed limits the likelihood of having an accident does increase dramatically. Happy motoring.😳😮😬👍👍

I actually got a big fat ticket once for stopping like at 9:54 & 10:43. Officer said to qualify as a "complete halt", cycle had to come to complete stop and I had to put my full foot down, heel-sole-toe. Fought ticket, lost, big fine, reduced happiness.:-(

Got my first motorcycle last year, a v storm 650, love it... I live in Quebec, nice small mountains here, not too big, just enough to get the views and the twisties were all looking for. Nice Neistat modified bike by the way!

Great video but man that cornering body position makes me nervous

In the beginning it seemed pretty dull, but once the motor talk started it was awesome. And I´m not even a rider. The only bad part was the downplaying beforehand :)

I am one of those who should not get a motorcycle. Enjoyed the onboard view from the safety of home

Two days before this video, I fell off my motorcycle and fractured my wrist which required surgery. But it won't stop me from riding a motorcycle.

idk why but watching your movies gives me a feeling that everything's going to be ok... eventually but the journey is something worth keeping. thank you -from someone unwell but improving. my name and image is not a image of myself but a escape i guess sometimes seeing yourself go down hill makes you see something though I wish I understood
