    Thanks for being an advocate, Yammie Noob. The truth is, doing fun things is probably always going to be more dangerous than NOT doing fun things. This doesn't mean that no one should do fun things. Rather, the risk should be mitigated, and managed. I've been riding since I was a teen, and now I'm in my 60's. I can't imagine giving up the freedom of riding, even if that means I'll occasionally get rained on, or have to watch out for oblivious cagers on their cell phones who don't even realize i'm there. You just plan for those inconveniences, and act accordingly. Besides, life itself is 100% fatal. You better do stuff while you are alive that makes you happy, because it's really short number of years, even in the best of circumstances.

    Hard disagree that bicycling does not translate well to motorcycling. Riding a mountain/gravel/road/bmx bike at a high level instantly translates into a motor bike. You already have the most intimate understanding of how 2-wheels operates in all situations and it only takes a little bit of adjustment to get up to speed.

      so you think a 5 y/o kid, who just learned to keep the balance on a bicycle, could easily get onto a motorcycle (made for kids, ofc) and manage that, just like a bicycle?
      I know by experience, back when I was 8 y/o and was trying trial MC for the first time, even as a kid with superior balance, that's a whole new challenge
      sure, I learned fast, but I'm a quick learner, and as I said, I had superior balance, and in addition to that, I was born stronger than the average. even all the advantages, learning MC wasn't like learning bicycle
      different skills for bicycle might translate well, like offroading and high speed control, but not basic skills, like slow speed control. the weight difference affects the handling a lot, and the clutch might be challenging for some people (not me, as I highly prefer manual transmission in cars already, hate automatic for being too unpredictable at times, and vehicles needs a real engine sound which EV doesn't have)

      A motorcycle has a tons of mass over even the most weighty bicycles. Every input and reaction between rider and machine is very much different. Fundamentals are similar, but controls and muscle memory and input/reaction is dramatically different.
      There are people who ride mountain bikes and also ride motocross, and even though motocross bikes are about as light as you're going to get in motorcycles, they are significantly more weighty than bicycles. Naked 650 class street bikes are almost double the weight of a motocross.

    I was a bike courier for around 5 years before getting bit by the motorcycle bug. I thought they were the same skills, but it is night and day. Driving a car, while completely different than riding a motorcycle, is still more similar to riding a motorcycle than a bicycle. The only maybe comparable analogue is mountain biking/offroading, but they're still completely different beasts.

    I have gotten caught in many a rain storms, and ever since I rode from Monterey CA to San Diego, at night, in a downpour the entire way (was in the US Navy and HAD TO be back), I ride in wet conditions with a smile on my face. I rarely ride at night, but as far as wet weather goes . . . Never get bothered by it. Especially since tires are SO MUCH better than ever and my riding skills have increased with every year (about 45 now) and classes that I've completed. I completely agree that visibility, distance, and adjustments to the way you ride are crucial ! ! ! But I'll rarely stay off my bike because it is raining or it might rain. Living at 10,000 feet above sea level, where it snows a GOOD 6 months out of the year, makes a true diehard motorcyclist ride at EVERY opportunity. Thanks for all your efforts, Yammy!!! Keep 'em coming, and stay true like you have been.

    When you're being chased by a tornado, you need a motorcycle that can get out of its own way. So far as meteorologists and storm chasers know, the quickest ground speed of a tornado ever clocked was just over 90 mph. It was a satellite tornado wrapping around a much larger wedge. So watch out for those stray twisters brushing by, when you're out chasing wedge tornadoes on your Gixxah.

    0:30 "people think motorcycles are faster than cars"
    The misconception is from psychological effects, not guesses about laptimes.
    Smaller objects appear faster than larger objects. This is why people are so bad about guessing whether they can beat the train. The train, being larger, appears slower than Real Speed.
    The motorcycle, being smaller than cars, always appears to be going faster.
    Also, inattentive car drivers think motorcycles mystically appear from nowhere to be in their way, this links to the deduction that the motorcycle must have been going preternaturally fast to get to that position they weren't in 5 seconds ago when the car "looked".
    Also, the concept that motorcycles are faster than cars goes back to when cars had 5l V8s making 140 hp in a 3000+lb car, and motorcycles with a tiny sub-1l engine were accelerating faster. And cars couldn't brake well, because ABS didn't exist and cars had crappy 4-wheel drum brakes, while motorcycles had "free" ABD, because the front and rear wheels were braked independently, which resulted in better performance.
    Those real physical reasons motorcycles were faster, combined with the psychological reasons motorcycles appear faster have persisted in the misconception that a performance motorcycle is faster than a performance car.

    Platapuses are Monotremes. 'Monotreme', (order Monotremata), any member of the egg-laying mammalian order Monotremata, which includes the amphibious platypus (family Ornithorhynchidae) and the terrestrial echidnas (family Tachyglossidae) of continental Australia, the Australian island state of Tasmania, and the island of New Guinea. Not as bad as hitting a wombat, but still wouldn't want to hit one. We have plenty of Echidnas where I live.
    I don't have much choice about riding at night. I find it quite pleasant. But I ride much slower after dark, wouldn't want to hit a fox, cow, wallaby or wombat. There are also large tractors and other agricultural machines to watch out for. You can also just imagine the state of some of the roads where cattle cross LOL!

    *> Hydroplaining & Sipe orientation
    All too often I've seen motorcycle 🏍️ front tires mounted so that the (V)^ Sipes [ direction of forward rotation ^ ] of the tread are mounted in reverse of how they should be *(∆)^ in order to properly evacuate water out from under the tread for greater traction as the tire & bike moves forward !
    I've noticed front tires on some Honda bikes as well as others mounted with the Sipe orientation as I suggested *(∆)^ !
    If mounted in reverse (V)^ the Sipes would pull water under the tire causing a greater chance of Hydroplaning !!

    Hard disagree on several points.
    1.
    Motorcycles biggest advantage is acceleration and are faster on tracks with long straight. Cars are also generally faster.
    In Nurburgring for example no bike has broken 7 min mark even on shorter version. Fastest road cars are over half a minute faster.
    2.
    Mostly agree
    3.
    Motorcycles are more dangerous. You can mitigate that risk but it will always be higher than in cars.
    4.
    Not all and no one probably believes that. Regarding there are more “rebels” on bikes than in cars
    5.
    There are naturally always exemptions bit lighter bikes are always easier to handle than their heavier counterparts.
    6.
    Motorcycles can be taken for a long trip especially if it is made for that. They will still always be more uncomfortable than a car made for it.
    7.
    Mostly agree.

    Ngl after riding an Ebike recently for the first time in a while, i felt the ebike was more difficult than motorcycles are tbh. I feel much safer on a motorcycle
    Similarly with the car point. I also feel significantly safer on a motorcycle, than i do, in a car honestly.
    Maybe bcs i used to commute in an ebike for a long time, and got a motorcycle only a month after getting a car, so being smaller on the road is a comfort zone for me maybe. But i feel far more vulnerable in a car, taking up so much of the road (not physically vulnerable, but vulnerable to being hit, or hitting something)

    Smaller engine easier to control? well considering giving the slightest throttle input from Idle will increase the air going in by factors of 100's of %. the hardest place to control throttle is when giving it barely any, and at 1/2 throttle, opening it all the way only gives 30% more air/fuel. and with smaller engines, they react quicker to the 3-400% more air/fuel with the slightest of throttle movement. a larger engine with more rotating mass takes a tad longer to wind up and send a heap more power to the rear wheel, so a Larger engine is smoother at low throttle inputs. yes it make it easier to lift the front wheel, but if you want to lift the front wheel you don't have to yank back on the bars to do it, and it's the yanking back that'll make you go right over.
    Size appropriate... (Frame size, riding position & seat to peg distance, on top of the seat to ground distance) The bike I did the Basic Handling Skills Test on was a GSX150, with a lower seat height than stock... and that meant my knees were bent as far as they can go, My feet were at an angle they didn't like. and even though I could do it, using the rear brake and Gear Lever was difficult, and if I was in that position for too long, would have had no control over my feet at all. even though the little baby gsx was the cheapest option that looks good, it's not "Fit" for a 6'2" person. it was definitely worth getting the V-strom with the same 249cc Oil cooled single cylinder engine as the GSX 250, but with a much larger frame. it's only draw back is the larger front wheel doesn't want to change direction quite as easily, and turning it around in a small space, that's like doing a 3 point turn in a flatbed truck compared to an Austin Mini

    I'm not sure I agree that motorcyclists are not more inclined to be lawbreakers. If they were to put a device on cars and motorcycles that strictly limited them to the speed limit, I wonder how many motorcyclists would give up the sport. I certainly would. The entire point to me is that they are go fast machines. I'm older now, and I mitigate my risk a lot more than I did when I was younger, but going fast is the point.

    Fastest lap of a bike around nurburgring is 7:10 and a average fastest car is about the same and fastest car is under 6:00! So how is it anyone could say a bike is faster than a car on a track is to say the least not true. Keep watching the noob.

    • @Ehal256
      @Ehal256 Před 2 dny

      While that is true, nurburgring is a track that greatly favors high downforce builds that are difficult to replicate on a bike. It's also an extremely long track, so any speed differences will accumulate to a far greater time difference than on a normal sized track. Also, I believe bikes haven't been allowed to do time trials on the track in 10 years?, at least outside of touristenfahrten where timing is sorta not allowed :).
      Of course, a car would still be faster, but it would be interesting to see the time of a modern production superbike, or even a motogp bike there. My guess is it will never happen because the track is sketchy even in a car, let alone on a bike.

      ​​​@@shaun8256 explain what exactly? I never said bikes have higher cornering speed, and I'm not sure the video meant to imply that either.
      Bikes have an advantage accelerating out of a corner, not in cornering speed, usually. Sometimes they have an advantage in being able to take a straighter line than a car by virtue of being wider, if there's a crossover point where this means a bike can be faster on some tracks, I wouldn't know.
