@@_levandre_Oh, I can answer that from experience! My AirPods are crap for wearing under a helmet because all the noise cancellation is active, aka done electronically. I have Jabra 75t’s that have both active and passive (they literally plug your ears lol) and they work fantastically and I can still hear the bike and my music great. They don’t work for phone calls though, the mic gets fucked by the wind noise.

As a newer street rider (dirt for years) One piece of advice i could give to everybody it to please learn to ride in the rain, obviousley not a huge downpore but from basically light mist to a nice rain so you arent caught off gaurd if it starts to sprinkle on the way home if you're caught out. its better to learn sooner and be "comfortable" in rain or on slicker roads then only ride in the bone dry and be caught way off guard. Stay safe out there guys 'n gals.

@Igor7800 Год назад

If you commute on your bike , you will automatically learn how to ride in the rain :)

@markreynolds9888 Год назад

As a former Naval Aviator I can attest to the fact that wearing ear plugs actually helps you hear BETTER in a noisy environment. They block out all the background noise - engine, wind, etc. - and let you concentrate on what you need to hear. Having said that and having worn earplugs EVERY time i flew, I still have significant hearing loss at 68Hz which is the frequency my aircraft's engines put out. Spend enough time in a noisy environment and you will have hearing loss. You will just have less if you wear earplugs.

@RossGoneRogue Год назад

Adding to the beginner vs "advanced" bikes, I came into motorcycling and was told at MSF that 250s or maybe 500s are the biggest you should ever go to start, but they didn't explain the difference between sport bikes and cruisers. I ride a 750 Shadow which is a "big" displacement engine for a sport bike, but I've done about a 6-7 second 0-60 on my bike. A 750 sport bike is probably more on the range of 3 seconds at that size. Cruisers are like the pickup trucks of the bike world and I thought I was doing bad getting a "big" 750 for a first bike.

@mikeglick3886 Год назад

Amen brother! I started riding street in 1986 and didn't start wearing earplugs until 15 years ago. My ears are shot, after ridding well over 250,000 miles my left ear is destroyed. Sometimes it gets so painful with them in I have to call it a day and head home. Summarily surfers get what's known as surfers ear. So if you are a new rider listen up ware earplugs and don't suffer when your older.

@crazyeyez1502 Год назад

I absolutely agree with the ear plugs. I started using them years ago when i was communicating 35 miles to work one way at Interstate highway speeds (70+), with a halfface helmet. Now, i work in a different place, and my commute is way less and back road speeds (55mph limits), the wind isn't has bad that a pair of Bluetooth ear buds actually help out alot with the wind noise.

@RoadRage810 Год назад

When it comes to improving your skills, I started riding in 1978 and try to do something every year to improve my riding. A course, track days, a challenge, something, anything to keep improving. If you don't think you can improve or have room for improvement, sell your bike because you have no business riding. That is the thought process that gets you or others in really bad situations.

@raduababei8947 Год назад

I think that these are the best Motorcycle videos in the world! I have been watching since I was 12 because my dad had 2 Suzuki´s with a 750cc engine when i was 3 and he put me on one of them and that started my passion for these. now i am 15 and I was at BMW and got a feel for some like the RnineT GS and instantly i fell i love with these beasts!

@Chambers_90 Год назад

Earplugs, the unsung hero of biking gear. My instructors didn't tell me, but I found a blog post that mentioned them. The most I'll do without them is half an hour, and that's maybe twice a year at most? I won't go out on the bike without them as a general rule.

@theaces18 Год назад

I havent been riding for 2 full months yet and I already ponied up for a pair of custom plugs. After my first foray on the highway I noticed that my ears felt stuffy like I'd been to a concert. I did my own research after that and decided to get earplugs. I'm really glad I did

The biggest annoyance as a beginner and improver on bikes is the crap winter weather which doesnt allow you to get as much practice as you want. It def slows the learning progression. I feel rusty getting on the bike after not being able to get out even after a few weeks.

@sebastianocornelio9774 Год назад

You hit a VERY important issue with wind noise. I went to ENT and Allergy and had them make molds of my ears and then the labs make them a perfect fit. They’re made of a silicon like material. They cost $250 but last years if you don’t loose them. The generic one size disposable are garbage. As soon as you turn your head to look for traffic they come out of the canal or fall out all together. Bikes cost $6k- $30k+. Factor in $250 with the bike. I have tinitus and partial hearing loss and it sucks! It’s possible i was told I may eventually loose my hearing permanently.

@McLarenMercedes17 Год назад

your helmet also produces a lot of noise with its winglets, so in case you still don't want to wear earplugs (which I HIGHLY recommend to avoid tinnitus which cannot be cured) make sure the unnecessary holes are sealed and do not produce even more noise.

A good helmet also reduces wind noise. I always believe that the more expensive ur bike is (hence faster) the more expensive ur helmet should be. The main diff with these helmets are for the most part wind noise. At a certain point helmets all provide the same protection but better noise cancellation goes side to side with price

I wonder how good noise canceling earbuds would work for riding.... they suck for half helmets because the sound of the wind rushing past them is very loud even at only 40 km/h (about 25mph or so, i don't know, I'm Canadian). i got a set of concert earplugs from my local music store. They let you hear the music cleanly, just at a lower volume, so it should be good for riding, too!

As far as coolness, I'm 99 v star 650 being bobbed and airbrushed gets a lot of attention.

Question about the ear plugs what if I'm someone who really likes to listen to music can I still use ear plugs but still hear the music in the helmet or speakers on the bike itself.

Funny story; I forgot to put my earplugs in before a race 😂😂😂 Just leaving pit lane, I already wanted to pit straight back in 😂… then I hit the back straight… and I knew I had to keep the tyres warm so I pinned it. Let me tell you something; I had an SC Project end can (emphasis on the “can”) and a header-back pipe. From 9000 to 13000 RPM, it was excruciatingly painful…….. FROM 14000 TO 16000 RPM!!!!……. It’s like my bike flipped a switch and said “I am going to make your head explode now”. Literally, the change was easily noticeable at exactly 14000 RPM. Now obviously I didn’t have enough time to take my helmet off and put my plugs in on the grid. So I’m sure you know what’s coming next 😂… Everyone revved their bikes up ready to launch, and then the lights went out…………. BRO!! I. Wanted. To. Die. I genuinely thought there’s no way I don’t go deaf after this. Then we all reached the back straight as a group, with our bikes all around 14000 - 16000 RPM and I was just waiting for the moment where I’d suddenly hear nothing. But that was the longest race of my life. I struggled to concentrate from the noise, my lap times were all over the show, and it was just a nightmare. My ears were ringing for a week straight, no joke.

Hey YB do a video on the weird things some people say when they come up to you at a corner store or anywhere you post up! But mainly at a crackhead store! Especially in Austin man! Omg! So many weirdos!

Having swapped both factory tires on my first bike for S22's... I feel vindicated in having no money 🔥

I have a 1970's honda dirt bike im currently working on restoring. I have never ridden before would you suggest that be a good starter bike?

Bro I just bought ear plugs last week. I have a 2019 R1 with a werkes exhaust so it’s very loud. Idk why it took me awhile to get plugs.

My MSF instructors called it the "Law of Gross Tonnage"; where the vehicle that weighs more will win. He noted that car drivers ignore this sometimes going against 18 wheelers and you can easily see those results; now imagine that, but everything weighs more than you. Doesn't matter if it's a Prius or a F-150, 4 wheels weigh more than you, and ignoring this law is a easy way to the ER.

Cool points, I agree but you didn't mention gear. Many motorcycle riders don't start with good gear and another thing is bike theft, that is one thing that shouldn't be overlooked.

@CB500Xoo7 Год назад

Had mine for a little over a month and got a Rev’it jacket with protection and working on other things like good gloves etc. I an worried about theft too.

@tjey379 Год назад

@@CB500Xoo7 you are better than me, it took me over 3 years to start buying dedicated gear, but as for theft I have extensive experience in that. One tip on theft is don't ever lend your bike out (no matter what sad story they tell you ) I have had two bikes stolen like that.

@CB500Xoo7 Год назад

@@tjey379 well glad you got around to gear. 💪. That’s interesting for the theft part, sorry that happened and I’ll keep that in mind for sure. I found the revit jacket on offer up . Looking into gps tracking device. Amazon has these yellow reflective arm bands for joggers. They have Velcro at end so rapped them around passenger grab bars. Safe ridin dude and thank you for your response.

I DUNNO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING BUT LOUD EXHAUSTS NEVER HURT ME!!

Great video as always. Regarding the "zen" theory and not competing with cars: If I have a chance after someone cuts me off or causes a dangerous situation, I try to pull up next to them, have them roll down their window, and calmly explaine what happened. In most cases, they didn't even know that they did what they did, and are apologetic. This make them see bikers as a real human, and may change their awareness in the future. Throwing ball-bearings or pennies out of anger just creates more problems. Be a "Dude (Lebowski)" out there, and it just might save a fellow rider. Enjoy the ride, get home alive.
