2022 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Austin, Texas | DGR 2022
My first official group ride for DGR 2022! I rode with my husband and our friend for the 2022 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Austin, TX on May 22, 2022.
There were about 75 riders in ATX. Dressed up dapper on our vintage and classic style motorcycles, we started in East Austin, rode through downtown, around the Texas Capitol, then back to where we started. It was a blast!

I've been riding motorcycles since 2013. My first bike? A little tangerine-orange scooter. Over the years, I've owned several motorcycles (some I've since sold) but am currently riding three - a 2013 Suzuki TU250X, 2009 Buell Lightning XB12SCG and 2020 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. I've learned a lot in my motorcycling journey, but have so much room to grow! Come along for the ride as I explore the open road on two wheels, chat about my experiences learning to ride and being a woman motorcyclist, get my hands dirty with motorcycle maintenance and modifications - and more!

Like it have a 24 gti sprayed the little side covers that are silver to matt black have loadd off mods done to mine its british racing green 11:53
Do you know what type of seat that is? Mine has a saddle and a pinion seat. I am looking for a good bench seat for my TU250X
Love what you did with the back of the bike. That licence plate wouldn't fly with the authorities in my country tho T_T
I'm looking for a bike, because my Honda Shadow is just a bit much for me! And like you said, the honda feels like it has more control over me, than I do over IT. Which makes me nervous. I'm trying to boost my confidence, and I rode this bike for a motorcycle beginner course, and it was SO EASY. Thanks for sharing this video and it's still helpful 4 years later :). Pretty much sold me on buying this bike lol
Does it help performance in any way? Trying to add the same mod too but concerned it won’t help performance too much or not at all
Fellow GT 650 owner - I purchased the same side mount license plate bracket from Dime City but the mounting hole was much larger in diameter than the actual axle nut....how were you able to correct this? It looks like you have a custom nut adapter on the axle nut.
Hi, i have got the 2024 year model and the latest led bar end lights from motogadget and the motogadget relay , the flasher relay comes with just a single red and then a black wire not sure how to use it any references ?
We didn’t use the Motogadget relay, so not sure and don’t want to give you the wrong advice. We ended up buying a relay from Amazon ($10 or less) and replaced the stock relay with it, and it’s been working just fine.
Just bought myself a 12scg I get to drive it 8 hours back home through the Ozark hills of Arkansas. EXCITED!!!
Amazing! Enjoy it!
@@JoyonaBike I did.
I went on a 5000 mile road trip and saw the first gp race back in the united states after 23 years at laguna seca in 86 it was awesome should have brought more fluids but i still got lots of pics at the cork screw corner 9 an 10
Mark marceez
Fyi… If you simply unscrew it, the inner bar weights will easily slide right out.
The bike sounds great!! I'm looking at getting an Emgo exhaust, iIwas just wondering is the one you have the 19" one or 17" there seem to be a few different options.
Clockwise and anticlock wise? Because i want buy cap to insert fill that side mirror hole. I dont want rain or anything inside
Ray D owner of a hero blue, 2009 600 mile never down, scg 1200 lighting, and she is, my arm candy, feels my love, and she don't let's me down, Lord can I have a girl friend like that.??
Wow great review, there is a song called she's got the look, but I'd say she's got the vibe, yea
This was scary at first. I thought you might drop it. You are 5'9"ish? I have an 08' 1125r and an 07' firebolt xb9r that I put the scg forks, tripple tree, and monoshock on. The difference in height makes the firebolt much more comfortable to ride. Glad I saw this video today it made me smile to see fellow buellers.
I’m actually a little over 5’3”. Sounds like you have a couple of sweet rides! Thanks for watching and ride safe.
@@JoyonaBike well damn you did pretty good. I'm 5'9 and I feel like I stole my big sisters 10 speed every time I'm at a red light on my 1125r.
Beautiful cafe racer GT 650! Thanks for sharing your mods.😊
Thank you!
I have watched your video and like it very much.
Glad you enjoy it!
Im totally with you on riding in cold weather, having gone past my 30's any temps below 50 degrees just aint where I wanna be on two wheels and I used to ride when it was basically freezing out. Did hit black ice once on a highway off ramp on my current Yamaha Stryker but the event didnt register until I was punching in for work, thank God it was just the rear stepping out a tiny bit but it gripped right after the baby fishtail. Breathing that cold air on a ride just aint in me like it used to be. My first motorcycle was an 06' Kymco Venox 250cc which is basically a Taiwanese Honda Rebel and damn it was the most fun sh*t ever then I thought I was ready to "upgrade" to a bigger machine only six months in... Long story gets longer here lol, so Im on my current Yamaha Stryker and found that I was just terrible AF at low speed turns , u turns and turns from a stop I was almost gonna quit. Then I clicked on a RideLikeAPro video and they talked about rear brake control, and that literally unlocked a new interest in riding motorcycles and thank God I found it. Well thanks again for the video, have a blessed weekend and hope you ride alot and ride safe. New subscriber here, I got some youtube videos but its been at least a year since Ive put up new stuff.
i miss having ridonkulous mpg and mid foot controls on a motorcycle, these tu250x's were what we rode at motorcycle school and I thought they were fast at the time
Can't watch, sorry i hate your voice.
I have tuned zx12 and buell 1225rc. I love kawasaki for speed. But to 120 km per hour buell kicks ass kawasaki. And in cornners buell is better than every 600 But powerslide is easy to make and is scary as fuck.
Good to see a novice female biker do some diy mod work, well done! I have a question for the Buell owners world, I'm considering buying a Buell but here in the UK it is difficult to find a good one as they weren't sold in large numbers here. So, I've found a really nice XB12SCG 25th anniversary, and it's not too far away. Before I go any further with it though, as it's the lower version, would it be ok for a taller rider, I'm just over 6ft? And one more question, are there any known serious issues with the motor and trans that I need to look for? Thanks.
Great re
Not Clucky u as got to make it happy
I'm not mean just factual, I love my scg, she,s great all stock, she,s going to museum if I can help it. Sad. NOT
Look behind u on tinny mirror S scared
That's because to many mods mines all stock and less nan 600 miles
Were S the ass end??
Bad ass looking bike, very noice
love Buells, thanks for the video!
just got mine installed but, dude! how do you keep them clean. they are fingerprints magnets then you try to wipe it off and it just smear all over.
Get heated grips, recommend Oxford. The blood in your hands is heated and the heat is circuated throughout your body. They require 4 watts for for both grips. Ed March had them on his Honda 90 going thru Canada in the winter. Your TUx can handle them.
Where in texas was that location somewhere in the hill country how does it handle the idiots texas highways
Beautiful and what a bike in 250cc. i love this bike alot. but unfortunately this bike is not available in our country.
9:17 "Let's see, what am I missing..." your turn signal indicator
😉
Here in the UK you can also remove the rear indicators as the bar end indicators can be seen from front and rear ;)
your buell xb12s is 395lbs and the 1125 is 375 lbs so....
Part number? Thx
I have just get a Buell Lightning longxb12ss
Thanks for sharing!
My first bike was a bandit 400 that probably weighed about 350 pounds. My second bike was 145 hp modified Ninja ZX9. It was much easier to ride. And a big heavy Harley with a low seat height was the easiest to ride.
Took some miles off the clutch.
Sportbike. 1 s
No woman ever complained about more vibration!
Too late now but you can cheaply get a wiring connector kit for under $20 and make it plug right into the existing harness.
Rotax Helicon is a beast. I have the 1125R with Buell Race ECU and Barker muffler…..FEROCIOUS! Just found your channel…..love the white CR……Joy you rock! I find my 1125 very well balanced and easy to control at slow speeds…..hope you do as well!
3:53 what an idiot - riding with absolutely no protection and straight at the on coming traffic - an accident and blood bath waiting to happen !!!
Are you here?
@@JoyonaBike it was. My ass hurts. 😆 did you take any pics?
Will you be attending this year’s distinguished gentleman’s ride?
Yes, in Austin! Will you be riding in this years DGR too?
@@JoyonaBike yes I will. I’ll be on my Indian.
Very helpful. Have not received an answer from Germany yet. Can you explain what "Extension" Left or Right, or what they refer to as "Cultivation" means for the bar end turning lights? Thanks much.
