For someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, riding has been the most amazing thing that's somehow allowed me to find a way to do something that fully engages me physically and also mentally in a way that let's me just shut off those parts of my brain I'm fighting and just be in a moment without my own mind yelling at me. My favorite moments have to be seeing little kids staring at you in awe and the smiles that they have after giving them a wave or rev, it's truly an incredible moment seeing that joy and wonder they have.
This is me too.
Dude I agree 100% and always felt the same with my ADHD
BIG
I rode as a kid and loved it. Now - like you - it saves me for a few hours here and there where I can focus on nothing but what I’m doing. It provides peace.
I love this i am trying to get my wife into riding i think this may help
"I wanna keep this one until it explodes. And it's a KTM, it can be next week or ten years." - Spite
You got a real good chuckle out of me on this one. 🤣🤣🤣
That should be a slogan for a meme contest on the next podcast
I think it was a post on reddit, guy said his tclock for the KTM is the judge the size of the puddle underneath it.
Laughed harder than I should've 😂
My ktm 2007 250 xcfw simply refuses to blow up and it definitely should have by now with the way I ride lol
I'm 61 and I'm finally on two wheels, I've somehow made it this far after a couple battles with cancer as well as a few other deadly illnesses.
I retired last year and after getting my licenses and completing the Learning Curves Motorcycle Course this summer I have already put over 5,000 klms on my Mechanical Steed . Two days ago my throttle cable snapped on the hwy but I made it home to Hamilton down the backroads at 10 klms per hour . Lolol. My first ride was 55 years ago sitting behind my Uncle Dana when he picked me up from school , I had to wait 55 years to finally ride my own , it would take days for me to say why I love riding but I'm old and I don't have the time left to explain so get on a bike and feel the feelings yourself to understand.
Remember to always do your best to keep the dirty side down .
Well done you😊
@@richardsears5297 Thanks Richard !
That's an awesome story, I'm 58 and returning to it after 40 years. Good luck Lloyd, stay healthy and keep following your dreams my man.
@Vladimir Putin it's a little 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 that I picked up for $1,200 , it only had 8,000 miles on it when I put it on the road 2 months ago and now it's got just over 11,000 miles .lol. Sadly my throttle cable snapped while riding on the highway a few days ago and now I'm on the search for a new cable so I can get back riding before the snow hits .
@@RacerXdBrother Thanks AC , I remember back when I was 58 , oh wait ✋ that was only a few years ago . Lol. Keep on riding my friend , I'm sure I'll be riding well into my 70s or perhaps even longer I hope .
Stay safe and keep the dirty side down they say . ✌😀.
My grandpa, my hero, died the day I bought my first ride. He showed me that life isn’t about the final product but about the fun you have on the way there with the people you love the most, friends and family. Since then I’ve always made the absolute best of every day to make him proud and I ride my motorcycle every day just to be a little closer too him. Thank you Lobbes, you’re the absolute best❤️🧡 (and also you papa yamms and the crew
May he rest in peace.
Goed verhaal Bram, serieus! Wat rij je?
I agree I suffer from pretty bad anxiety, and hopping on a motorcycle made me not able to think about the things that trouble me and just blocked out all the stresses in life cause when you ride theres so many other things to think about like focusing on riding, feeling the wind, the smell, the sights. Riding a motorcycle was the best thing to ever happen to me. Deep but true
I love reading these stories. I was in the same shoes when I decided on getting my motorcycle license. It really changes one's perspective on life. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
@@mohammadhazim981 you too brotha ride on and be safe ✌🏼
It's seem this channel gets about 1K subs every other day or so. The Turbo Busa will be here soon. So it's cool to see a video like this leading up to the reveal. A "culmination of how we got here." Dope!
muh FACKIN BOOOOSUUH!
I have no idea about what inspired you guys to come from a different angle to show your love and passion for motorcycles, but whoever came up with this idea, I am loving. There's a love connection we all have because of our love for the bikes, but in this video you make a more personal connection with your audience. KUDOS!!! Excellent work!!! Excellent content!!!
For me, I struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, and depression. It’s hard for me to just go out and ride my motorcycle, but when I force myself out of my darkness and just go on a ride then I feel refreshed and happier. Thank you guys and girls for opening up about your more personal lives and making yourself show more as a regular person than as a CZcamsr/icon.
You're loved man, know that ❤
My favorite memory on my Vitpilen actually just happened a few weeks ago.
I was riding back home on a nice twisty back road with my dad on his bike in front of me, we came up out of the woods to a high ridge right as a sun beam shot out of a cloud right on us. Time seemed to stop in a way I had never experienced before. Just a glorious introspective moment where everything else in life melted away.
Hello fellow Vitpilen rider! The time stopping aspect is overwhelmingly beautiful about riding. I had an awesome experience like that during a "race" with a crop duster in the middle of nowhere. Riding 110mph down a flat country road and seeing the clouds part in just the right way changes you.
Yammie, "I was off a bike for 12 days and it was terrible."
Me, who has only ridden my bike 3-4 times the past 3 months and is now headed in to the Canadian winter off season, "well...."
Right? 😂 my bike was down 2 months waiting on parts and I was just itching for a ride! Now I had to go and wreck it so this time I'll be waiting even longer 😒
Yammie said it right “there’s very VERY little that feels like riding a motorcycle. There’s nothing like this.” That sums up the entire feeling about motorcycles for me ❤️❤️❤️ - Amy
I got into riding at the age of 33, just randomly one day started looking at videos of motorcycling, might have been randomly recommended by CZcams as well, don't remember exactly. I had just bought a house, got garage space and got my license. Motorcycling has helped me with my anxiety and depression as when I meet another rider, I do not have to be afraid to talk to them as I know there is at least one thing I can talk about with them.
Now 2 years later, I own 2 bikes, one is brand new (few months old) and another one is 2004 Yamaha TDM 900.
The TDM is a project bike, I'v taken the engine apart and fixed it up with very little mechanical experience with engines and learning more every day.
Best therapy I'v had, no money to buy drugs or alcohol anymore :)
Best memory was when I was still in motorcycle school (I live in Europe, so we have to attend schools) and the first time we where out in traffic and I got my first biker wave, I can not explain how awesome that felt. Now I wave to all the riders, especially new riders in school, and I don't really care if I get a wave back.
Got started the exact same way last year at the age of 40. Kept watching yammie noob videos, then got the itch. I just had the idea of hoping on one every now and then just for fun, maybe run an errand or something… but it quickly turned into every day commute riding. I can’t stay off of it!
For someone who has been watching this channel for the last 4 years, like everyday. This is one the best videos that y’all have made! Rubber side down and shinny side up!
My father always encouraged motorcycles in my youth. He was a pilot and always said riding a motorcycle is as close to flying you will get on the ground.
You can even fly if you mess up hard enough
My MSF instructor said that. Seeing fighters flying in and out up close is amazing, the way they turn was how it felt riding.
Everything on this video made me smile inside. My first memory is “bar hopping” with my dad when I was a kid and having root beers with him. My favorite childhood memories with him and I finally bought a bike so now we can ride together and relive the childhood memories of riding and just hanging out with my dad again
For me, motorcycling is one of the most enjoyable, incredible and wonderful activities life can serve. It pulled me away from a deep and dark depression and likely saved my life.
This channel is the one that got me into motorcycling and I am incredibly grateful to have clicked the button which led me to my very first view.
Thank you for everything you do team Yammie noob.
Josh's really got me. I too taught myself to ride..also on an sv650. I can remember the feeling of absolute terror when i pulled on the main road and an 18 wheeler popped over the hill behind me 🤣. I barely made the speed limit and felt like i was flying! Riding is more than doing something..its feeling something! ✌
The biggest surprise I had in riding was probably seeing how big things actually are. Roads are massive, the buildings and big and there are so many nooks and crannies that you can go through. I go to school in San Francisco and that means lane splitting is legal. The second day I got my bike, I tried lane splitting. Traffic in SF is pretty packed, its just a sea of cars and everything felt so overwhelming, it was really scary. When I did it again the next day, it was completely different. You think that being on a small bike surrounded by big cars would make you feel weak. But I felt, and still feel, that on a bike I have the power to do anything, even if ai’m just riding a small ninja 300
I freaking loved this. Goosebumps bois goosebumps.
Every morning on my commute to work, I ride past a daycare in my neighbourhood. The kids are normally outside playing as I ride by. The smiles on their faces and excitement as I ride by and give them a wave makes me happy, and reminds me to enjoy the simple things in life.
I relate to Spite's reasons for riding. Zipping around the city on the cheap. Buying bikes with specific purposes and uses in mind. Just got my motorcycle license and first bike in the last couple of months, and I plan to keep using this as a real mode of personal transport. If I'm only hauling myself around (no large stuff or other people or children or anything), then riding is perfect.
I've been a pedestrian and public transit user for ages, and I noticed that riding keeps me connected to the world in a familiar way when I'm stopped. I have my foot down on the asphalt to balance myself, and it's the same asphalt that I've been putting my feet on for decades as a pedestrian. And then it's time to roll again, and I'm on, like, the minimum requirements for a personal transport machine. An engine is driving a wheel, those are both attached to the same frame so that they can keep doing their work as everything rolls forward, and I'm on top of the frame, so I come along for the beautiful ride of physics. It's elegantly simple, in concept.
But actually, I first really fell in love with the powered ride specifically during the summer of 2020, during COVID-19 lockdowns. I decided one day to take a bit of a test ride on an urban shared electric moped scooter, since we have those here. It had a low top speed by design. But still, I felt the wind of the ride and saw how the road looked from this perspective and went, "I need one of these for myself, and I need enough power to go on roads with higher speed limits." And so, this year, in 2021, I did that. I mean, I got a loan of a few grand and bought an actual, not-speed-limited motorcycle, and not a scooter so small that I wouldn't even need the license. I achieved the concept of license to ride and owning a powered ride that can handle the faster roads.
They'll change your driving habits too after a few cars scare the hell out of you lol
I've always wanted a bike, recently its something more realistic for me. I am so glad I found yall, your videos have given me sooo much information. Also helped me currently decide on wanting the duke 390 for my first bike! Lol sad I missed that give away. Yall are awesome and I wish you great success!! I'll definitely continue watching.
Don't worry, you wouldn't of won anyway. Get that KTM bro and dog it out as much as you can reasonably safe. I started on a Ninja 250 and alot of my friends laughed on their 600s. Not a single one of them ride anymore. From crashing to never feeling safe. While I ride a 900 on one wheel at 100mph. Prepare yourself young one, your life is about to get alot more exciting!
@@anonymousperson7889 lol for sure man!! Thanks and ride safe!!
since this summer i started too with a ktm 390. its so fucking nice and i have to say that it id a really good bike. nothing to blame on that bike.
Yup, started on Duke 390 a year ago. Never regret buying it, but sold it recently. Have fun with it ma man.
@@675_simp what do you own now?
Great video. I’ve ridden off and on for years. You get to a point where you’ve had so many close calls, felt that endorphin sweat flash, and yet keep the bike and yourself in complete control that you can stay calm in all kinds of emergencies. I work in a hospital now, and I can calmly razor focus on the emergency in front of me. Riding taught me to do that. There’s joy and focus. More people need to ride. It helps in surprising ways.
Favorite memory riding : Dad teaching me to use the clutch on my DS80 and learning to ride that day. I could write forever about memories I love, but that day is the first motorcycle moment I loved. Miss my Dad. Loved the exhilaration. Loved the feeling of flying and freedom. Now riding saves me and my sanity. Sometimes it brings back some of those childhood memories.
Love the video. I'm in the middle-east with the army. This is the longest I've been away from my family and bike since my last deployment. You guys really hit home (in a great way) with this video. Thanks YN crew!!
Just wanted to say that Whitney's comments on riding encouraged me to finally go on a highway for the first time and travel at speed for a period. Love these kinds of videos, thank you to the crew.
This was a great topic. I'm 72, and I can still vividly remember the first time I rode a motorcycle. It was a Honda 50 (CA100) that belonged to an older guy at school, and I was 14. I knew within a few minutes that I was going to ride motorcycles. I never forgot that first experience, and I'm still riding.
I had never been on a bike before. A dear old friend of mine who works in the business surprised me by arranging for me to ride on the back of a 1000cc super bike. So my first time on a bike is going 130 mph on a track with thousands of people watching…. I bought a bike two weeks later and my endorsement the week after that. 52 years on this planet and I feel excited to be alive again.
you guys really look happy answering to the given questions. all that passion for motorcycles and the joy from them ooze out and it's almost as if i can feel them too. i tried to answer to the questions and found myself in the state of calmness and excitement at the same time, and answering to your questions really got me to appreciate my bike all the more. thank you for making this video as all other contents you make.
Motorcycling has saved my life.
It’s definitely my favorite way to relieve stress besides sleeping. I’ve always had a love for racing and going fast. But lately I have gotten away from the car world. I’ve matured a ton as a rider over the last 7 years and do stupid things way less. Now I have a 2021 MT-09 and it’s the fastest bike I’ve ever owned and while I do ring it out occasionally. I actually ride it at safe speeds 95% of the time. I’m a carve up a twisty road rider. That’s how I get the adrenaline rush out of my system. I love knowing that my $9k bike would just dog walk almost any car up to 100mph and I don’t have to wait in traffic either. It’s impossible for me to believe cars are better anymore. They can hit 200mph but on the road from point a to point b. Even a slow bike is faster than a Lamborghini
Yeah, I 100% agree with you, I'm slightly going away from cars too and these days I find myself way more into motorcycles, I'm starting to think that cars are a bit unnecessary and useless, in the real world the reason why someone needs a car is to get from point A to point B but in today's big cities, you can't go anywhere, that's where the bikes come in, the fastest way around a city by far, and as you said, most motorcycles can smoke most cars in acceleration, cars are for those who wanna show off and flex with their money, I don't give a crap about that, and for those who say that motorcycles are boring, we can leave them to dust while paying 10x less, most people get a car for status.
sssshhh, don't give away our secrets ..... the emotional connection with your machine. The zen relaxation of intense concentration, yet totally calm. :) :). I found myself nodding in agreement with your reviewers.. :)
I was faced with an unimaginable tragedy about 3 weeks ago. Lots of things are helping, but riding a motorcycle has been #1 when it comes to what has helped the most. Getting out there with friends that love to ride or solo. Either way. We did 414 miles on backroads Saturday and that alone is still helping today.
Great vid Yammie.
When Whitney said “confession I didn’t ride any bike before I bought it” me too but I feel the way spite said “I wanna keep it till it blows” for both of em.
I don't enjoy riding roller coasters anymore, because everything you feel while riding one is amplified by 10 when you ride a motorcycle. There's something so raw about feeling as equally in control as you are out of control. Taming the wildfire of a motorcycle is one of the most fulfilling things i have ever experienced. It is an amazing stress reliever and there is something incredibly special about experiencing the raw world that you just can't get on a road trip in a car.
It’s good to see more of the people behind the scenes
Mom n Dad gave up riding while raising the six of us, but Dad picked up a fixer-upper honda trail 90 and some small older dirt bikes when we were old enough to learn in the yard. Us older kids "helped" him get them running, and had an amazing time riding around off road. Learning how to work on things, spending time with dad, and having fun on bikes was priceless.
You guys helped me finally take the plunge and get a license and start the right way. Thanks for that.
Nice to know yammie has something to do with Brasil in his lifetime! We, who live in Brasil, are so passioned about riding that we spent 50 minimum wages just to ride something like a cb650r in a place with almost no road security! Nice to know my favorite youtuber has a little Brasil in his history!
I was actually born in Brasil and am fluent in Portuguese caraaaa

Been riding since 14, bought my first minibike , new, in 71, been riding ever since. But cars and trucks changed my life. It was warmer. and dryer.
I like the different perspectives from different style riders. All the same love for the bike.
This is beautiful. I think we all have our first “wow this is amazing” moment when riding a bike. 💜
I just got my first bike this year, a 1996 katana 600. My first memory was "Oh my fucking god this thing manages heat worse than Kanye's PR guy"
There is nothing in the world that can excribe the blisfulness of being on the open road on 2 wheels. Nothing can replace it or compare to it. If you want to feel life with no care or worry and just be free from your mind a life's issues the moment you get on one everything just goes. You just take in the fresh air the landscape, it's like your eyes truly open and see the world on a bike. Nothing will ever give you the feeling a bike can
One of the BEST episodes you all put out to date. Hearing and seeing the passion you all have for riding was just perfect.
I bought my first motorcycle.. a 2004 FZ6 without even having a license..My Dad had been driving for years and told me about the Triumphs in his youth.. He got the permit to teach me to ride and that was one of the best summers with him..Ive wanted to ride since I was just a kid following motogp and isle of man tt races.. Just loving it
Loving the diversity of the content lately. This one really brought me back to my first time on a bike my dad took me out on the back of his. I dont remember being scared mainly cause when ur a kid and you are around ur parents u feel nothing can harm you. I went for a great ride and vowed to myself when I was 5 y/0 I would ride. It took me about 18 years from that day but I got a license and have been riding the street for about 6 years ever since. Wouldn't trade it for any lifestyle on earth.
Only been riding for about 4 or 5 months now and I have absolutely fell in love with it. I sadly don't always get the chance to ride due to weather or other things i have going on, but every time I'm on my bike whether its going to work or just going for a little ride, I always have a smile on my face. always wanting to keep going. I'm sadly limited on where and what types of roads i can take due to my bike (Duke 390), but I'm absolutely in love with it. the first time I hopped on this bike I didn't have a license, no equipment, nothing. but I road it around my neighborhood and the most fun I've ever had in a very long time, even though I was just going about 20 MPH at most. but just something about feeling that wind on your face, vibration of the motorcycle and the acceleration from the throttle for anything was just a super incredible experience. Everything I've done from squiding around flying through traffic at speeds i should definitely not be doing, to practicing wheelies and finally achieving my first wheelie and then freaking out and mashing the rear break and smashing the jewels on the tank, as well as going into the mountains and just breathing in the fresh mountain air as I'm ripping around corners. Even close calls that i got myself into or someone in a car not paying attention its all just an incredible experience that i could never have any where else. Just the level of freedom and adrenaline from riding is something that will keep me riding for as long as my body will allow me too. I recently got my friend to finally hop on a motorcycle for the first time in a very long time. And his reaction to getting the bike moving without stalling up to now I can tell he felt the same way I did when I first started riding. He now asks if he can take the bike out for whatever reason and it just makes me smile knowing that I got a close friend of mine to experience something as amazing as riding a motorcycle If I could do the same thing Yammie and the crew does i would 100%.
Great video! I got a Honda xr80 whenI was 10 and I’ve been in love with motorcycles ever since. That was 39 years ago. Everything discussed in this video is so relatable and brings back so many memories. Keep up the good work!
I felt that sudden cold yesterday while having my first ride in the forest with my friends.. That was amazing
Riding for me. Growing up and for a majority of my life I had some self esteem issues but when it comes to riding, to get better, you need to be confident in your own ability. Especially so in slow maneuvers. You have to be confident you won't drop the bike, you have to believe in yourself and go for it. This "necessary" confidence in myself has grown beyond the bike and I'm happy with who I am and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Truck driver hear, have your videos on for hours while i drive. I love the road. Im happy to have a different way to experience it. I always got lost on country roads in my hatchback, ive always loved Rally racing games. Iv had my bike 4 weeks now, and have already put 400 miles on it. Its so wonderful to just weave around on a country road, i ride To southern Ohio and its great getting into the hills
My first memory on a motorcycle was my grandfather taking me to kindergarten. I have loved motorcycles since then and finally got one after he passed away.
First year rider its impossible to explain the way riding makes u feel. God bless and stay safe yall.
This channel inspired me get a motorcycle and ride almost 4 years back. Now I'm almost 2 years in and I'm loving it! This vid made me love motorcycling even more. (Planning on upgrading to a 400 from a 150. Lol)
Yammie.. I watch all your videos since August and never comment much. But thanks to y'all I've slowly since then done my msf course, got an A2 licence and slowly been buying gear. Buying my jacket and boots today. I'm getting a bike before the end of the month Godwilling. Thank you for your content.
I feel connected with the Yammie Noob team on every video, but this content is on a whole different level.
My first time on a motorcycle was when I was 12 or 13? My grandfather took my for a ride on his Harley and I was so calm. I loved the rumble, I loved the feeling of the wind rushing over me and watching everything fly by. He was shocked I wasn't scared.
Till about 16 he'd always take me for rides to car shows on his bike. He died this past fall and in the next year or two I'm getting my motorcycle license and buying a bike both to honor him and feed my adrenaline addiction
Love this vid. Thanks guys. I used to think bikes were stupid and so unsafe, my brother in law convinced me to at least sit on one, then I started moving forward on one, then I turned on one, then I fell in love with them. I get it. This channel has taught me so much as well, thanks guys.
Riding is meditation in motion. Many new bikes have tech that allows you to connect your phone to the dash, but I don't want that. The world, and it's issues, sort of goes away when on two wheels. You, the sound, the machine, the road. In the moment. The track is all of that amplified. I work a very stressful job, and when I can ride, it's a time to get away. It's more special than most people will ever know.
Just purchased my first bike, 2012 Ducati monster 796. I've dreamed of this since I was a kid and I finally did it. Im excited to be part of the moto club. The feeling of riding on my bike is a feeling like no other I've experiance in my life. I can't wait for the memories I will make and the friends I will meet.
Am a noob never rode a bike before have been watching for about a year after much research and understanding that im too speed hungry to really go for a 600 but have settled on the husky svartpilen 401 im just trying to say this channel has helped me not only with deciding but with my depression and something to look forward too im so excited I really can't wait
“Mom was freaked out” is just the free space of “motorcycle phrases bingo”.
What a great video! So nice to see the "real" side of y'all, and also nice to see more of Josh and Whitney. Y'all make a great team!
Riding is all I have left that helps me focus on something other than my issues from Iraq.
Most of the reason I have even got a bike was this channel 2 bikes in love riding. It's relaxing and clears the mind
Such a good video, nice to see you put the script away 😀
What really made me love bikes the most was riding with my brother. He left for the military right out of highschool and deployed so after I graduated I got a bike and rode with friends and ten years later my bro got stationed in our home town and my first time getting to ride or spend time with my brother for over ten years and was and still is the best time riding
Yammie, wanted to let you know that your vids riding all around hill country has help my homesickness while on deployment; I'm from Killeen-ways and enjoyed top-down drives all through there. I finally purchased my first bike and am looking forward to riding out that way in the future.
Hey everyone,
Great video!!!! I was born into motorcycling...my grandfather, grandmother, dad & uncle all rode. The first bike I was on was my grandfather's 1936 EL Harley Davidson aka first year "Knucklehead"! At present time I have 5 motorcycles...3 run and 2 are projects. I'll be a motorcyclist for life!!!! I started riding at age 4 and am 59 now and the addiction is stronger than ever!!!! I believe to get a driver's license for a car everyone should have to have a motorcycle license for at least two years first!!! Keep the rubber side down!!
Most of best memories inlife includes bikes. I have raced, traveled and met friends for 40 years and enjoyed some of the finest bikes ever made. I regret selling some Dukes and Laverdas but I am anyhow proud of my garage. I don't ride much, due to health issues, but I still enjoy my bikes. If you're a connoisseur you will know... I have a Benelli Tornado RS, a Moto Morini Corsaro 1200 Veloce, a GASGAS 250 trailbike and a Yamaha XS 125 (my son's, he is 16). Maybe I am too old, but new bikes with everything controlled and monitored by computers, have lost the feeling. With the MoMo you know that both you and the bike are alive . If you're not careful it will flip over, spin the back wheel or lock the brakes, but if you know what you're doing you will get a man-maschine feeling that is the essence of motorcycling! And you will be fast enough to hang on to any 200+ bike on track if the rider is not Rossi or Marques......
My friends tried for years to get me to ride and I was always too intimidated by it. But now I own an Indian Scout Sixty and it changed my life for the better. Yes, it’s my first bike. I was so afraid the first time I rode it in a parking lot but after I took it out for real I was hooked.
Favourite video. Never leave comments but It really got me thinking about my own experiences. Good and Bad. Well done
I ride a KLXsm and really want to pop a wheelie. :)
One of my earliest memories was "helping" my dad work on his dirtbike, and then him sitting me in front of him while he blasted up and back on the street on a huge, to me, Kawasaki 2 stroke. This must have been in about 1984 or so. When I was in 4th grade I got my first bike, a 1980 Honda XL75. I quickly outgrew that poor bike, beating it within an inch of its life on the trails in the woods around the house. I graduated to a YZ80 about 6 months later and started racing motocross. Eventually I turned 16 and got my drivers license. That newfound freedom made me put dirbikes to the side. I never really considered a street bike for some reason at that time. I still rode from time to time on friends bikes and stuff, but eventually life happened and next thing I know I'm 40 and taking the MSF course because I inherited a Heritage Classic from my father in law. Haven't looked back since. I ride every chance I get.
a 2nd start. 20+ years after being on one. I lost the love of my life so I ended up riding again. I think it has saved my life.
I forgot how long ago it was but my love for bikes started when I saw a Triumph Bonnie. Been just smitten ever since
My father loved motorcycles but he always discouraged me. The pandemic forced me to get a scooter because of the lack of public transport. I went on a ride with my friends and I loved cruising through the mountains. After awhile I started to get a speed bug and decided to get a ninja 400 no matter what. My wife is such an angel and helped me get the money. I just can't go back to riding a car to work or going on a vacation.
Like others here, I started riding because I rode dirt bikes as a kid. Now after riding on the street for almost 10 years, I notice I start to feel a strong blandness/depression in my life after not riding for more than a couple days - it’s truly a an almost perfect form of meditation. I’m so frugal, I get pissed if I get ripped off for 5 bucks… but I ride a $18,000 super bike, because riding is just that good.
This one was phenomenal. I like the balance of the last two videos and appreciate what you did there. The hipster build was a goofy, lighthearted, comedic video which was followed by this sincere, heartfelt piece. Took me down my memory lane of riding, loved it.
Whitney's Minnesota story really resonates. I'm a long time biker but I convinced my gf to be pillion on a scooter in Mallorca in September and I took her down a mountain road (much to her initial reluctance) and she was blown away by the temperature differences, the views and the smell of the pines. She's planning to get a motorbike licence now!
My dad's been riding motorcylces since he was 14. Old English bikes. I remember waiting at the bottom of the driveway for him to come home, so I could ride with him for the last few metres up to our house. An old BSA A65 from 1963. I spent a looooong time not riding, but then the nostalgia hit me. After a few hours trying out my friends newish Bonnie my cheeks were sore from griining and I just KNEW I had to get my license and my own bike ASAP. The old BSA still runs, but even with a few years of experience I'm still not allowed to ride it. Life goals?
I'm 39 years old and I got into motorcycle last year b/c of covid lock down. I was bored bc my business was shut down b/c of restrictions and thought I'd try riding a motorcycle. Took the MSF course and got the moto endorsement and picked up a used MT-07 and I was HOOKED! Traded the MT for a Street Triple 675R which I totaled and now I'm on 2019 CB1000R. My only regret... not start riding earlier.
Man riding made me feel like a human again !!! I had gotten into a vicious car accident were I got pretty muffed up broken back shattered left ankle broken jaw broken ribs torn liver ruptured spleen punchered and collapsed lung broken nose and some other little things but since then life has been pretty boring but bikes restored my fulfillment with most days I love I'll never look back biker for life with out a doubt
Been riding since I was 7 years old. This video made me reminisce on so many fond memories growing up and to this day. Stay on two wheels ladies and fellas. Stay on two wheels.
I'm a returning 58 year old still getting charged over an episode like this. Great job Yammie, my favorite so far.
I never realised why I felt so calm and at home on 2 wheels compared to a car. I'm always at the edge of my seat, sweating in a car if I'm in traffic, but put me on 2 wheels and I am right at home. When Whitney was talking about how a bike is the best place for someone with anxiety, I immediately understood what she was talking about. I was thinking about this today on my 350Km ride from my home town to the place I work. Thanks for the video. Will definitely come back to this
I got into motorcycles on a serious note after my time in the Miata community (2 decades) ran its course and wanted something that gave me the same feeling my old Miata used to. Ended up on an MT-03 and it’s almost like having a two-wheeled Miata. Handsome, easy to live with, relatively cheap to operate, plenty of aftermarket goodies to make it uniquely mine. Sure, lots of things could be improved, but it still puts a smile on my face every time I ride.
My goal is to keep it for city use and pair it with an adventure/touring bike for those longer rides. I’m in Spites camp of wanting a few bikes for specific purposes. Only a matter of time.
My first memory was burning my hand on my grandfather's bike exhaust. Fell in love ever since then. Jk although it's a true story lol, but I fell in love after feeling the freedom from it all, I could see everything compared to a car. I felt the rush of the wind, I could hear the motor working, and it's just you on there, unless you have a passenger. But that time of loneliness was very peaceful. It was like walking through nature in a way.
I was 31 when i started riding, im now 32 lol and i FREAKING LOVE RIDING!!! I do get anxiety at red lights but there is seriously nothing like it!!!!
A good family friend had a fully dressed HD Electra glide. Back in 2002 he gave my brother and I a ride and I knew one day I would own a bike.
the last thing yammie said gave me Goosebumps I feel the exact same!!!
If you look closely, you see the joy in everyone's faces all over the world when you tell your bike stories.
Ride on guys
The first bike I ever rode was an RC51. Cracked the throttle in 2nd gear, power wheelied most of the way down an onramp. Bought an '01 r6 in '02, rode it 13k miles like the road was a racetrack. Traded it on an '05 r1 (and a race suit), did the same. Sold the r1after finally realizing that sportbikes are not for the street, and went bikeless for 6 years. Now I have 7 bikes, and managed to ride about 18,000 miles this year and still counting. Full on addict 🤣
This is one of my favorite videos, one of the best not just on this channel but all of CZcams.
This might be one of your greatest videos that you guys have ever made.
Riding helps keep me in the moment. You can't let your mind wander too long on a bike, else you're a goner. It's basically mindful meditation, without the focus on breathing. 🤣
I was 5 years old, my parents bought me a KX80. Couldn’t two feet the ground, but loved riding, would have to jump off the bike whenever I wanted to turn at first!!!!
Driving is something you do. Motorcycling is something you feel.
Good vid, my son's dipping his toes atm and have paid for a brief intro course and now working on some round the block and parking lot stuff with no judgement but this made me remember my incentives to get back in.... Even with the early 70s no clutch bike and first ever stitches experience
