The link to the ADV helmet 404s, any reason why? Is it due to region restrictions?
One of the most important things about an airbag vest for me is the neck stabilization without getting in the way of looking around like a neck brace.
But only the absolute minority do that. And coincidently, or not, those are the worst. So there´s that.
Only the best!! My riding gear saved my life last Wednesday when I wrecked my bike 🙌🏻 Don’t skimp out on riding gear!!! Your life is worth the investment.
Protective gear is essential, but if it makes you too hot it can effect your body temperature to the point where you get mind fog and that can also be dangerous. It's a balance.
Experienced this first hand ..specially in the Indian subcontinent the summers are unbearable, even for mesh !
You have ventilated gears for that purpose. Also stay hydrated and take regular breaks if you feel like it.
100%. I dropped my full leathers for highend Kevlar from Motoport, game changing pants with a price tag but worth every single penny, theyve changed riding for me. There were a couple times wearing leather that Id hop off and almost pass out from the heat, that made it a very easy decision to swap over.
@@sagark93 Vents arent always efficient enough.
@@Mr.Canuckyeah but get yourself vented by a car and no more riding!
I wear the airbag every time. It’s great. I fully recommend it obviously. I have the Klim one.
Helite does make three different pairs of motorcycle airbag pants! Love the content❤️
Make sure you wear a FULL FACE helmet, good gloves and boots. jacket and trousers are secondary although you zhould wear those also where you can. Your life is more important than style.
Got in a major high side at Pittrace this weekend. Thankfully I was wearing my helite e gp air and saved me from any worse injuries. Land on my head and shoulder, and thankfully it kept my head secure.
Won't ever ride without an air vest again
I got hit on my bike with no gear 750 feet from my house. I spent 4 months in a coma because I didn't have a helmet on. I will never ride again without a helmet
Glad you’re back!
Damn. Glad youre still ticking. 👍
Big balls to you for still riding
Can you make a video riding bbw’s with curvy rears on the back of bikes?
I have leather gear but I love massive puffy adv gear. I can and have lived in that stuff for days on end on long trips real comfy.
the slider puck on the edge of the palm isn't because you are going to do a lot of sliding on your palm, its to make sure it doesn't grip and break your wrist.
Scafoid sliders. 👍
I’m still a pretty new rider, 1 year this month. I’m always in full gear, no big deal to take a few extra minutes to get ready. I find it’s a nice way to clear my head before I hop on. I’m the minority where I live, half helmets and T shirts everywhere
Summer squid here... I can't understand flip flops on a bike i wouldn't even drive a car with them!
Essential for me are helmet,air plugs, gloves without those i won't touch a bike ( When it isn't warm af i usually wear full gear )
hi yam and team, ive always loved your content, you really helped me get into biking! i had a bad fall over loose gravel a few days ago and wasn't going quick at all, it was the first day since i started riding where i didnt wear my protective trousers or jacket. i didnt think much of it and it happened to be the one day i fell. i was hurt just enough for me to learn my lesson. my bike however has lots of problems which im now struggling with and no level of protective gear couldve helped 🙃
Going down on a grom at 50 in a tshirt taught me to wear my gear 😂
Must have been a nasty slide... how long does it take to recover? Any scars? Asking for a friend obviously 😅.
And I thought going down in shorts, t-shirt and tennis shoes (on a bicycle) when I was10 at ~15mph was bad. Road rash and digging asphalt debris from my arms for over a week was no fun. I can't imagine what it would be like at the speed you were going. Lesson learned at a young age.
Notification gang 🔥 love your vids yammie keep going
Between you and spunky boyy, I've learned so much. Not just about bikes, but about the proper ways to ride alone and in groups, goin for the msf next yr and hopefully can win that ninja 400. But just wanted to say, you guys have been very informative
Papa yam,
Great videos on bikes for new riders, gear for new riders and veterans alike. Can you do one on basic maintenence for new riders? Like checking for chain slack, replacing cleaning, and tightening the chain. Oil changes, etc that new rider may not know about or even know how to do.thanks!
I love my johnny rocket mesh jacket with inserts and armored riding shoes. Great in the summer when in motion. Oh and some nice thick leather gloves
More videos on gear please! I know you’ve made lots of videos but the market is super expansive
I wear a 2 piece suit, boots gloves, helmet, and lots of hi vis
Those several newest endings are so good. 100% match with my sense of humour.
I like to wear gauntlet gloves when it's cold as it doesn't let wind get inside the jacket.
I’ll get hate for this, but I personally don’t care if people don’t wear gear, you fall down and get road rash, shit sorry dude, that sucks and it’s going to for a while, but your still alive
The one thing that pisses me off is seeing people without a helmet, you take a hard hit or fall, there is a high chance of you staying out. A helmet saved my life 3 and a half months ago, so at the bare minimum just wear a fucking helmet please
No hate at all from me I concur, people are idiots, squids are gonna squid.
I completely agree, my debate is padded pants. Not sure if I should get them or not but all the other gear, I DEFINITELY wear.
So crazy, when I ride my Harley it's like as little to nothing at all, and I can't figure out why I am like that. But when i'm riding my ZX10r or 636 it's full gear all the time. I have textile gear and or full leathers along with just leather jacket with riding jeans. Also riding sneakers and full on Astar riding boots. This passion of riding is not cheap and while it might take time to get everything you need at least get the basics. Cheers
I wear an air vest. I was side swiped at 50mph. Rib pain but no fractures. Definitely worth the money.
Years ago Fort Nine tested riding pants and he took a belt sander to a pair of jeans. It was honestly scary how fast the sander went right through the jeans. No hesitation at all.
The fuckin outro got me 😂😂😂 I was waiting with such suspense omg
Can you show us your gear? Like your jackets, gloves and ear plug brands etc
Haha here in DC people can rent actual scooters on an app. They have a compartment with a helmet locked on the back. Now nobody wants to wear the helmet somebody else you don’t know has worn. So randomly you get to see some idiot racing down the street on this scooter doing 30-50 with no helmet, but they got their face mask on still 🤦🏼♂️
How about reviewing external strap on equipment that can be removed after commute to go into work etc
it is funny, i am ATGATT on my street bike in the states, but as soon as i am riding motorbikes in Vietnam (in some very dangerous places, not only low speeds in city) and it is a helmet that is only suited to a bicycle, basketball jersey, shorts and flip flops. that said, i would look crazy in full alpinestar gear
That "At home test" for how jeans will preform against asphalt and concrete is hilarious and accurate. I am gonna use that the next time I encounter someone defending jeans as "protective"
I learned to ride in Thailand so standard gear was sneakers, shorts and a t-shirt but I wore my helmet 99% of the time. Now I'm in Australia, I want CE approved jeans, riding shirt snd shoes plus a much better helmet.
There are airbag pants now. Im hoping prices will be cheaper and more innovations will be made
I found it to be very easy to always wear gear if its very normal street wear looking stuff
For the short hop to the gas station or commute without any highway, i wear my kevlar jeans with the integrated knee pads. My sneaker have aramid backing, ankle protectors etc. They look exactly like a normal shoe but are motorcycle short boots
Helmet, gloves, jacket are a given
Kevlar jeans can be problematic, as I read an article their biggest problem is that they usually aren't full coverage of the entire jeans, but when they DO full coverage people return them as being too hot.
And jeans really do need to zip to the jacket or else all that tender exposed flesh between jeans and jacket is exposed.
The Marlon Brando "jeans and jacket" has become the standard that 98% of motorcyclists wear but in my opinion it will always be flawed due to the limitations of being 2 piece, light construction (so you can move around when off the bike), and cheap price in relationship to a true 1-piece motorcycle suit.
@langhamp8912 So... Do you have ACTUAL experience with motorcycle jeans or just read some articles?
Either way. I have ones that are fully lined with kevlar and have knee and hip protectors. They aren't too hot, IMO. Hotter than normal jeans but very okay in summer
You are comparing 1 piece racetrack suits to jeans and a jacket... Sorry, what?
This is only intended for slow speed city commuting below 80km/h. Anything above or more serious i do with a 2 piece textile, full gauntlet leather gloves, quality full face helmet, full size boots. Nothin else, except the occasional 2 piece leather
@@someguy9520no need to get triggered manchild
😂😂🤣🤣
The scooter argument is easy to bust. Scooter riders should wear more gear from the start.
i always have my full synthetic gear on thats got full armour on the main areas and the gloves i change based on weather but i was looking into the airjackets just very expensive.
Worth it. Thats what CCs are for. 😉
how about mesh over pants? what do folks think about them. I was thinking of getting them to be cooler than my riding jeans but I wonder if they would actually provide any protection. I just ride back roads with a max speed of 50mph.
Should I buy armoured shorts to under pants for commuting?
I’m just recovering from a broken collarbone😂 the only gear I had on was a helmet and gloves so the rest was just regular clothes.
People riding around Austin with no gear are insane. The car people here can...not...drive. These people have no concept of getting in the correct lane properly and jump over 2-3 lanes to make their upcoming turn, there's too many fake paper license plates and those drivers are probably uninsured and/or no license, and there's way too many people on their phones. I commute a 125 here daily and never ride with no helmet, gloves, boots and jacket. Still working on finding comfortable protective pants that I can afford.
Would it br s cool idea to get a zx6r from the zx4r
I ride a 25kph scooter daily, and I must admit I skip out on gear. I'd never do that on my 400, but the slower speeds makes it seem more excusable.
I usually just go with a motorcycle jacket, gloves and 3/4 helmet but regular boots and jeans.
I always go full gear on my big bike though.
(Yes, I will probably get flack for calling a 400cc bike big, but it's a lot more powerful than my scooter.)
I'm an idiot because I take a chance each time I ride by not wearing protective gear. I wear a helmet, but nothing else. I mean I'm not naked, that would frighten children, but I only wear shorts, T-shirt, and gym shoes. I don't ride fast and all crazy, but anytime you get out there in traffic there's risk. Pain is an excellent motivator to buy gear I'm sure. I've been lucky.
I have to look kinda cool and mostly safe. Get me some leather chaps
Just a Banana hammock and you're good to go
Noob/Uneducated question: What clothes do you wear under your riding gear? Are your riding jacket and pants typically worn over your regular clothes?
Do you bring regular clothes with you in a backpack and just change after you arrive at your destination?
Personally, I wear riding jeans and don't wear "normal" pants beneath (unless its a thermal layer). I'll wear whatever shirt under my riding jacket (plus thermal layers). I'll bring a change of pants if I'm going to an all-day destination, like work. For a couple hours, my riding pants are fine.
From what I understand, for race leathers you put those over clothes.
What is the pipe in the background for?
I dislike leather lol. Im not a fan of how it looks and im absolutely on team too hot haha
Perforated leather in the warm weather. Not T shirt riding for me.
There's the Aerostich single-piece suit for the street, Vanson Leathers for the track, and all the rest are pretenders.
Can someone recommend me some cold weather gloves?
Air bag things i am in agreement with. Too expensive unless it is built in comes with the bike. Or if i have endless income. Cyclecruza talking about making mandatory. Said same thing...be perfect for manufacturer to supply them with branding of the bike. I dont buy the clothes either but people do.
Its too expensive until you need it.
@@Mr.Canuck true, but a lot of people And I are poor. My bikes i have bought have not cost much more than them. Not telling people they are bad and dont get. I personally am not in the market for one. My gear is cheap as well. Bought on closeout or amazon
I get it bro. The believe airbag vest it's like 6 or 700. I didn't have that upfront but RevZilla has an option for no interest payments so that's what I'm doing right now. Too many people texting and driving these days
Ill wear street clothes around town with a half helmet but not over 35 MPH
airbag vests are cool but would u rather have someone spend 1000 on a airbag or 1000 on a jacket, boots, gloves, and pants
I bought all the regular gear and then for the airbag vest I did the payments option on RevZilla
@@poesia-com-cafeina making payments on something thats $700 is sad bru
Yammi has god mode legs…
Lies, Helite makes airbag pants!
❤
Dejan vu
Parachute
I feel I watched this last week? Am I the only one?
Hey rammie loob
💀
Boots with ankle support Padded gloves, jacket/vest, and helmet at LEAST, preferabbly padded pants too. Just don't be the squib who rides a fucking tracking suit in tge way to abd from work
✋😧🤚 okay, okay, I'll keep watching-
I just went down 2 weeks ago on the twisties in TN, bike got totaled, was in helmet, jacket, gloves, regular jeans and Jordan ones, the jeans and the Jordan ones turned into napkins, my left knee and left thigh don’t look too good right now.
Get some scorpion exo covert riding jeans. Fully lined. Very tough jeans. Preferably the pro set. The base is fine but I personally wish I spent the extra $30 because the pro jeans are even stronger then the regular with a nylon/cotton outer and Kevlar inside vs just heavy denim lined with Kevlar inside which makes me feel like they are that much better.
@@joshuachristiansen2626 crazy thing is I was in a scorpion jacket
1 month later how are you doing bro?
@@poesia-com-cafeina I’m good now, not 100% but I’m riding again
Riding moron street you definitely need ATGATT
Gen-X here. We used to lie in the window ledge of our hatchback. This was normal. Doors were not locked, kids walked alone all over the damn place.
Kangaroo's are in plague proportions in Australia, so you are going our environment a favour, but re-using their skin, so it does not go to waste. Their population must be controlled, otherwise they over run the land, as their predator's have been restricted.
