I feel like I go through the stages of grief when I realize I am going to be riding in the rain. Denial, telling myself maybe I will get lucky and only get a little sprinkle. Anger, that I will have to make a compromise and wear some rain gear or bring a change of clothes and plan to find a dryer for my boots. Bargaining with myself about maybe not riding and calling off work or taking the car. Depression that its going to be a bad day. And then acceptance that the rain doesn't feel that bad. Good luck with your next bike, you deserve it.

i watched a few of your vids this one got me to sub keep it up lol im getting a bike next month and youtube sent me to u lol

Lost or damaged footage is so frustrating!

Can’t imagine using anything other than a modular helmet, it’s so convenient. Also, I got a Bilt mesh jacket from Revzilla and I love it! Great air flow, great protection. (I’m cheap. I bought a summer jacket in December and got it for half price. Lol!)

Ride safe! 🫶💯

Just wanted to let you know your chill vibes bring me peace. It is nice. Have a great day. 👍

Just found your channel. I'm going to be getting my first bike soon! Im so excited. Are there any beginner tips i should know? Im going to get full gear. Is there anything else i should know before hitting the road? Love your content.

Just discovered your channel. Love your attitude and chatter! (and the fact that you listen to NPR) Have fun and stay safe!

I pick on myself all the time. Perfectly fine! Your language caught me off guard and I'm for it! 😂

Windscreen: Is that aftermarket? If so, did it reduce the buffeting? Love my bike, but the turbulence at 75mph is so unbearable and violent.

From having done some therapy when sh*t was going sideways, I've learned that most of the time, the one with personal problems mainly needs an ear. Advice given, most of the time, won't be taken. One-liner advice are the worse ("just gotta take it one day at a time" -- "oh, please shut up"). But an emotion expressed is a relief for one's mind. I've learned that telling a similar experience you've been through, how you reacted, and what the results were (positive, or negative, or neutral). It makes people feel less alone in their problems, and just that can be reassuring. Makes them feel more normal to be living through some tough times. The trick is, the emptying of the heart must be do to the right person, with the right words, at the right time. I actually told a friend yesterday I'd listen to them another day as I wasn't ready to listen to them at that time. Aurora (the singer) said it best in her song "The River": "You can cry [...], Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?" After you've expressed feelings, you tend to feel good, because the feeling is no longer bottled up, boiling, and waiting to explode. As for professional therapists themselves, I've encountered 2 kinds. Pop-Psychologists with tips and homework that typically fail to do anything and cost too much. My sister has had one giving her Buddhist Mandalas in a colouring book asking her to complete 5 of them during the week, telling her it should help her calm down. The problem is that homework and a short time to do a meditative exercise with a deadline, is actually more stressful. Also, Buddhist will sandpaint the Mandalas over the course of days or weeks, as part of a meditative practice, and then brush away the results of their painstaking work to symbolize the unimportance of it in one's life. A thing which pop-psychologist don't think about with their colouring books. Disconnecting from the end result, concentrating on the journey that brought them there, and letting go of it as not important for what is to come. And then there are good psychologists, those that help you discover things about yourself... by yourself. Things have more weight and impact when self-realized. They are more there to ask questions to keep you thinking and talking. Expressing things often helps you mind sort things out. My favourite mental health tool I've been using for about a decade... I don't know it's name, but I talk about it in one of my videos. It's all about the feeling of control (and knowing what you can and cannot control) and about perception (which you can control). - Step 1: (no control) Something happens in life. - Step 2: (control) You have a choice of what you tell yourself. - Step 3: (no control) From what you tell yourself, you will have an associated emotion. - Step 3: (control) From that emotion, you have a choice of reactions, of what you will do or abstain from doing. - Step 4: (control) You act upon that reactions, meaning you actually do what you're telling yourself you're gonna do. - Step 5: (no control) Consequences, others react or not to you, good or bad things result from you're reaction. - Step 6: (control) And this is the important step... retrospect. Look back at the sequence of events, dig deeper inside you to identify your words-to-yourself, emotions, reaction, etc. If the results were mostly negative, look at the things on which you do have control. Maybe you need to try to tell yourself something else to get a different emotion. Maybe your reaction is off-kilter and needs adjustment. This exercise needs to be frequent, and it will be difficult to take control over the things you can control. After a certain age (~27), our brains are hard-wired and programmed for life, so practice will help hack it and re-wire it. Gotta get out of the comfort zone. Gotta force yourself to do things you do normally do. Finally, adjusting what you tell yourself to get a different emotion is a way to adjust your perception on life. Perception if the lens filter we put on to view the world around us (cognitive dissonance). If your filter is negative (Step 2), everything that follows is affected (Step 3s to 5). The more you practice changing this, the more your perception of life will improve. ~~ Everything you've done and lived through has made the person you are today. You may not like certain things from your past, but there's nothing you can do about that. The only thing you have control over is what you do from this point forward. To paraphrase Gandhi, be the change you want to see in yourself. ~~ Sorry about this long-winded comment.😅 Mental health is an issue of importance to me, so I tend to empty my heart out about it.❤‍🩹 Take care!🛵👍 EDIT: Cool intro! LOL!

I have no problem with people telling me their problems, which many people do, but here is my thing. If you ask for my opinion about what to do and then you don't do it, then f don't come back crying when your life is still f' up. Also, and this is particularly true of women in my life, don't come to me telling me a list of your problems and expect me not to come up with ways to help you fix it. If you just want to vent, there are 900 numbers for that and they charge for a reason.

Disagree.

As a night owl, I miss the 24 hour Wal*Mart and Harris Teeter... Ice cream runs are over...

I laughed way more than I intended too here. First video I have seen from you and I'm your newest sub. Good stuff and hope you continue to feel better. Just got over my own bug this weekend. Waste of a good weekend I will say.

What kind of bike Do you have?

Amen. Wish it was in my state.

Where I live lane filtering is legal but of over 30 Kph lane splitting will get you a dangerous driving charge.

Always filter at lights, split only to escape danger

As a rider for over 50 years mostly Harley Davidsons, You are not going to last very long driving around with your attitude. People will intentionally hit you and leave you where you hit the pavement! Please re-assess and adopt higher safety protocols.

Lane splitting is stupid, I've seen too many get greased when somebody randomly changes lanes. I've gotten clipped and watch em eat guardrail. Situational awareness will keep you safer than lane splitting.

When EVERY conversation tends to be “venting”… sometimes it can be a chore. I miss the version of my friend that I could play games and laugh with for longer than 5 minutes and not have it turn into a therapy session every. single. time.

This video looks cool for some reason, just a chick on a bike at night. Good audio too I like the background noise too!

real

I got pretty lucky with the friend group I found, we can talk about personal things and people actually listen. Then a minute later we are calling eachother slurs again😂 I think thats the ideal friendship. As early 20yr old dudes its not like we get too deep everytime we hang out but its nice to know that if you need to it will be respected. I like the video concept, I could see these doing well🙌

Its the fox running across the road while you are at a stop light lol @5:45

Pretty good mario, here we go. Your last video was the first one I've seen. I watch a lot of motorcycle and scooter stuff so that may be why. Weather is just now getting good. The last two cars I had were about 2 mph slow (saturn sl2, and ford escape. Current car (gmc canyon has an accurate speedometer now. I'm not sure about my KLR 650 because I don't want to mount the phone on the handlebars. That dollar general looks like it is matching some of the other lots on that street where they are not square to the road. Some places have code that specify new buildings must face a certain direction to be built. To aid with city planning.

CHICKEN!

I have only seen one female rider in 6 months of riding every day outside if moto events. I need to find me one.

How in the hell do so many people have the money for Camaros

Well i'm glad your last video blew up cuz i'm vibin

The easiest way to switch your brain to celsius is to change your home thermostat to it. I spent 5 weeks in Changsha, China and my brain switched to it. Fahrenheit to celsius isn't like sort of remembering how to convert from kg to pounds, it's more like I am comfortable at 25, sweating 29, and dying at 33. lol

HELL YEA BROTHER WATCH FOR GRASS CLIBBINS GOBBLESS

What kills me is they are the same company. Its wild.

Temu shipping is like a week lol

Feral scooter vlogs indeed

Literally have to get a ram mount or a quad lock those are the only ones that rly work

Gosh, I wouldn't trust a phone holder on my bike unless it held it on there with glue.... hope you managed to get it back!

Printers yay! 😂

lol that thumbnail

I didnt know that America sold a London bike. In London they use PCX all time.

Which height and/or model number is that? I just bought a new PCX and can’t decide which height I should get.

Izzy Adventures ❤️

Happy birthday bro Hope u had a good day

happy bday

When someone comes yelling at me for something that I don't care about or something that they're wrong about, it makes me smile. It's fun hearing all the projections people fling on others cause it shows what insecurities they've got. Have fun scootin!

I think its just mostly their parents disapproval of motorcycles in general is a huge stumbling block.

Thanks, can you release a video discussing some of the reasons why you should speed in a school zone soon? It would be good to help viewers make an informed decision on the pros and cons

“Ooof” 😂

'Zoomer' I like that
