Spend $8 on a bottle of Rain-X for your helmet shield, mirrors and if you get a windshield! It might work on your camera lens too. The difference is amazing and it lasts a year or more. If you can afford another $5, buy the Fog-X wipes for the inside of your helmet shield!
From my experience, any three wheeler is much safer than a two wheeler especially in the rain. I own a HD Tri-Glide and it is safer than my previous motorcycles which were two wheelers. But I drove a Ryker 100 miles home, in the rain, at night, and 52 degrees (F) for our son's Christmas present. What I leanred is the Ryker is even more safer than my Harley. I kept my speed between 60 and 70 mph most of the way home on the Ryker and the rain nor the wet roads were ever a problem. The Ryker handled beautifully and was never a worry. If I weren't so OLD I'd consider one for myself.
Thanks for explaining riding the Ryker in the rain I honestly think today's drivers in general should learn that motorcyclists and others are way more at risk than regular vehicles Especially in more slippery and somewhat dangerous conditions ( ik some explain that but at the same time they need to go a little more in depth about those situations)
i can respect your point of view about riding in the rain, i learned to ride my very first motorcycle i the rain in philadelphia, therefore i neer had a fear of the rain i just gear up and keep it moving, thanks for sharing, I’m getting my first Ryker in a few weeks and these youtube videos have been very helpful,i appreciate them all. happy and safe riding
I went on a charity ride once when I was selling bikes in the 80’s. Rode a Goldwing, talk about protection. I didn’t get wet until I stopped at lights and stop signs.
Great to see the npr of rykers again...always awesome, relevant & a thoughtful pov! Thank you for this video, it's honestly been one of the things that I need to get out of my head about.
Hahaha NPR! I'll take it, but get out there and try it one day. Especially if you know some quiet roads to try out, it can be fun if you let it be fun.
@@3WheelKhalil Greetings! I have now experienced my rally in the rain & I didn't freak out, lol. It was just as cool as if it were nice out (minus some of the crazy not so safe FL drivers but that's pretty much any given day). Thanks for the encouragement!
I did get caught in some heavy mist, last year road was wet but I enjoyed it, lol. I think I would use RainEx on the visor so it will best off better. Works on my car windows so why not the visor. Good video. Love your calming voice. Stay safe.
Giovanna M I was thinking the same thing about RainEx, going to try a little of that out on a dry day. Make sure that it doesn’t make my visor hazy. Thanks for sticking around and sharing your ideas!
I got my ryker last September, and the first time I rode it in the rain my eyes opened to ! I thought it handled it very well and really didn’t make much of difference
Awesome bro! First review of a ride in the rain that I’ve seen, mint 😎 I was beginning to think you fellas never had any rain at all...😜 Keep up the good work bro 👊
Had mine swing the back tire out about 80degrees in heavy rain. Only recently found out there are 2 set of wear markers on the rear tire one is specifically to let you know your tred is too low for "safe" riding in wet conditions.
Given, riding two or three wheels in the rain requires caution. But, if you are dressed for it, and use proper precautions, it is ok and can be pleasurable.
My Spyder RS is pretty good in the rain. I've got stuck a couple times trying to roll from a stop and the tire just spins and shuts down. I really have to feather it to get it moving in the rain.
When I get mine, I'm going to be looking forward to it, but o How's riding with no sheild in the rain, and riding without it period? Like,is it as bad as a lot of people say. I really don't want the sheild.
Joe Dehitt I’ve looked into smaller Toy Haulers that I could tow so that’s definitely a possibility. Also looking into making my own enclosed trailer/RV conversion. Many possibilities. The Ryker has to be towed on a flat bed or enclosed trailer. Towing directly will likely ruin the transmission.
I’ve watched all your videos from start to finish.’im looking into the ryker and i have 1 question. If you don’t mind me asking about what are your notes a month for the ryker?/ of you paid cash about how much was it ?
I'll have to get back to you when I do one, it probably wouldn't be ideal mainly because a lack of cruise control and the somewhat limited gas tank. However, anything can be a tourer if you tour with it, but it's definitely not built with that in mind.

Rain-X is awesome!! Love that stuff, lasts longer than on a car with the wipers wiping on it.

Obama is jesus 11 very true, it’d be nice if cars were more aware of motorcycles in general, but especially in the rain.
I been waiting on another video bro!! We need more content!!💪🏾💯
Roy Word more content coming soon, and I’ve got more exciting videos in the works. Thanks for sticking around!

Dry is a state of mind!
Yup.
That happened to me! Was on my ryker and the bottom fell out!!! Handled it better than my two wheeler/motocycle did...i was amazed
Great to see you back! I do not miss Florida roads in the rain! But I do miss Florida. Congrats on the Ranger!!!
You have the chillest vids, bruv. Keep on.
Much appreciated, will do!

I appreciate this video. Answers many questions. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
I really find your videos insamely enjoyable & rather soothing to watch!!! Keep them coming bro! (MrSTITCHitUP)
What are the "first buys" for a Ryker ? As a newbie !!!
I drive my car in rain and Ryker in sunshine only. Since I work less than 10 miles from home so no need to get on the freeway….my whole purpose.
Had mine swing the back tire out about 80degrees in heavy rain. Only recently found out there are 2 set of wear markers on the rear tire one is specifically to let you know your tred is too low for "safe" riding in wet conditions.
Be careful out there!

ronold cross short and sweet.
What advice would you recommend on how to handle rain on your visor? Since you can't wipers on your visor unlike a car.
Rain-X makes a water repellent specifically for Plastics, I use that when I clean my helmets and water rolls off a lot easier.
Cooooooooool video. 👍 Guess your rain protection is much less than on a motorbike but it´s fun anyway. Greetings LuBi
Man when you come thru NC we gotta ride together!!! Socially distanced ofc
My Spyder RS is pretty good in the rain. I've got stuck a couple times trying to roll from a stop and the tire just spins and shuts down. I really have to feather it to get it moving in the rain.
Great vid! Area looks familiar, where in Florida did you film that??

How's riding with no sheild in the rain, and riding without it period? Like,is it as bad as a lot of people say. I really don't want the sheild.
Khalil, I'm looking at a 900 Rally. Do you keep yours in a garage? Awesome channel Bro'!
Yep, I do keep my Ryker in a garage. Thanks man!
Wouldn’t a windshield help you out quite a bit ?
How many miles have you put on that bike so far?
Why don't you get an RV and tow your bike...that's my plan. Do you any suggestion what to use for towing? Can we use Flat tow?
Joe Dehitt I’ve looked into smaller Toy Haulers that I could tow so that’s definitely a possibility. Also looking into making my own enclosed trailer/RV conversion. Many possibilities.
The Ryker has to be towed on a flat bed or enclosed trailer. Towing directly will likely ruin the transmission.
you wearing rain gear?
Not sure what I exactly had on here, but likely at least a rain jacket and waterproof motorcycle boots.
My neck of the woods bro.
I’ve watched all your videos from start to finish.’im looking into the ryker and i have 1 question. If you don’t mind me asking about what are your notes a month for the ryker?/ of you paid cash about how much was it ?
Notes for the Ryker $125-$150 per month. 🍺
How is the ryker on cross country trips ? Great videos !
I'll have to get back to you when I do one, it probably wouldn't be ideal mainly because a lack of cruise control and the somewhat limited gas tank. However, anything can be a tourer if you tour with it, but it's definitely not built with that in mind.
How is it riding w\o a windshield?
Pure fun!
I’m new is this your daily driver?
Eh, I work from home so not really, but I drive it about the same amount of time that I drive my truck. Welcome to the channel!
Should I get a ryker 600 or 900?
Marquel The Goat personally I’d get a 900. Just nice to have the extra power, but it depends on how you plan to ride.
@@3WheelKhalil yea I think that's the move
I was waiting for you to get it sideways,disappointed in video man
Aye look at the homie bro y’all better follow my boy
Thank you bro, much appreciated
