I just got my first bike last week, Honda CB650R.....some people might not like this type of content, but I truly hope you know these videos do make a big difference. Even if its just 1 rider who's about to do a risky pull and this videos pops into their heads and stops them. That's a potential life you just saved from a 15 minute video.. Much Love Adobo

🤣Homie got a fukn seat-belt ticket riding a motorcycle😂

I’m so sorry for your loss and offer my deepest condolences. It takes a lot of courage to do what you did here. I pray for your loss.

I remember driving past that crash. Really sorry to hear that was your friend. Definitely has always kept me thinking about the decisions I make when I ride to be safe and not make foolish choices.

I only bought a bike after a couple friends were killed in a crash. I was a reckless kid until that happened, and probably would have been there with them if I had a bike at that point. It definitely humbled me and taught me a lesson about racing after drinking and speeding in general. To this day every time I swing a leg over a bike, I think about that crash and it makes me ride much safer. I do wish I would have gotten a couple rides in with them before it was their time tho

I have been a biker for over fifty years. I am still learning. Your words have wisdom. Ride safe.

I'm 35 and have been riding since I turned 21. I can agree and say the older you get the more you calm down. I'm honestly amazed I'm still alive after all the stupid shit I did on my sport bike looking back at it. I think it's something we all do when we are young squids 🐙 just know your limits and always stay frosty 🥶

New woman rider here❤️ I’ve watched your videos for so many years just bought a Yamaha R3 today❤️ Something small and perfect for starting, have full gear from head to toe and I can’t wait to start fully riding tomorrow❤️❤️

Back when i was in college '93 a classmate worked as a emt with a ambulance crew and he told me a crazy story. He knew i rode a motorcycle and asked me if i wore a helmet. And i said yes. The story was the police were chasing a bike at night and as the motorcyclists was turning right onto another highway at a high rate of speed 130+ he laid it down. They were the second on the scene with the trooper. The bike hit the left guard rail along with the rider, then flew across the other lanes of traffic. He said they found a torso and no head not far from the bike. He said the highway was shut down as they looked for his head. They ended up finding it at a 45° angle opposite the bike still in the helmet. He said it was like a bank shot in pool. Ill never forget that story because i used to hit that turn on my motorcycle at a good speed myself. Slow down live another day.

I'm teaching my son to ride right now and I'm trying to impress on him the fact of not doing stupid things while riding. Thank you for this video.

thank you for these, i’ve always tried to find someone who rides sport bikes but doesn’t go crazy .. you’re my outlet! you show us it’s okay to go normal speeds and relax!

Thanks for being one of the few influencers/content creators that spreads a good message. I'll admit that I have done some street Rossi stuff on familiar back roads. That being said, I'm wearing full gear as well. One of the biggest things that prevents me from pushing too hard on any of those roads is my children. I need to continue save some money for track days. They seem like the best way to have fun in a safe, controlled environment and also just improve my riding ability. Thank god I'm still happy with ripping a Ninja 250R. Yeah it's not that fast in a straight line but it keeps up to normal highway speeds just fine and is a blast to chuck around twisties. Ride safe everyone. It's not just about you.

respect bro im 59 now been riding for 48 yrs im glad your putting out the right message but i do remember doing the dumb shit it amazing some of us are still alive so thanks for the great message.

I also lost a friend only a few years ago in a motorcycle accident. I dont know all the details but unfortunately I know speed was involved. I know he was definitely a wild one, only rode at full throttle. He rode his harley like it was a sport bike. It's sad to loose hoomies. I still ride alone just so I can ride my own ride since he passed. Im big on atgat and preach it whenever I can. I also have an rsv4, and as powerful as it is, responsibility is number one every time I ride. there is a time and a place for everything. Stay safe bro....to you and your homies. ❤ 2 wheels down.

Cruisers are also susceptible to severe accidents, with an estimated 11 percent of riders killed riding them every year. Cruisers account for 50% of bike crashes. You really are safer going fast because objects like cars are moving stationary a cars going 50mph you're going 75mph you are going 25mph past that car and a good chance they don't see you until they are behind you. Sorry but going the speed limit on the freeway is just asking to get hit from behind.

Hey man. I've been consuming a ton of motorcycle related media, I'm stupid excited to pick up my first bike in a couple weeks. Came across your channel and watched a couple videos and subscribed a couple in. You're one of the few people I've seen so grounded, and advocate for being safe. Your content is super authentic man. Thanks a lot!

I just started riding late last year and got a slow-ass 250 because I cannot trust myself with something larger. hopefully the things I learn from riding and watching videos like this would allow me to have better self-control

Say Adobo, Sorry for the loss of your friend, very unfortunate indeed. I really appreciate your candidness about your past and the reality of riding safety !

I love your positivity, spreading awareness for safety and acknowledging we all do stupid things sometimes but think before acting. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, may he rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss brother. When we're in our twenties, and especially when we're in the military, we feel immortal. Everything happens to everyone else and we're exempt. I lived through that period and so have you. With age and experience comes wisdom. Unfortunately, some of us don't make it that far. Great video, keep up the good work.

Mannnnnn had me laughing my ass off, then got sad mid-way through. Sorry to hear that bro.

probably the best motorcycle I've ever seen. Just full of humor and soul. Priceless lessons to take away. I am sorry for your loss

As a beginner rider, I truly appreciate how much you care that we are safe drivers and put safety first. I will dedicate myself to safety while also having fun. I will ride within my limits and I won’t push them just to keep up with other people.

Amazing story all around! I too have a family and I also have life insurance. Love this message, sorry about your buddy.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have been riding since 1967 and I was a Paramedic for 45 years and retired in 2018. I watch these videos in KZfaq of bikers riding at extremely high speeds, filtering at 30 mph faster than traffic and then they get mad when a car pulls out in front of them a quarter mile away and get hostile towards the driver. A lot of riders today have no common sense. I was young too and I was speeding quite a bit when I was younger. I thought I was invincible. I even rode a Honda RS250RR for 10 miles on an Interstate highway with the police chasing me. I was very foolish. This is the first video that although was about a sad occurrence, is teaching in a positive way about the risks involved in our sport. I'm 70 years old now but after being a Paramedic all those years and treating riders with all types of injuries, I still wick up the gas now and then BUT quickly get a grip on reality and back it down. Thank you again for your teachings and compassion for both motorcycling and fellow riders. You are to be commended.

I’m 36 now with two kids and I Just got myself a 2023 Triumph thruxton, because I don’t need a super bike, has plenty of power, but it gives you time to slow down and enjoy the ride and there is no better feeling

I used to love the dumb fast videos, adobo is slowly growing on me though. I got my first bike this season and it really makes a difference with some of the things he says in his videos. Obviously I’m a dumb teen and still ride like there’s no tomorrow but it really makes me a better safer rider to watch your vids. Literally cried with this one, thanks adobo ❤

It's sad that what is fun is commonly not always safe. Love you vids btw and sorry for your loss

Honestly bro you just changed they way I ride man great vid bro

enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. also, i like how you spread your safety concerns for new and old riders. I personally like to watch your videos just to see where you are riding since I am local to you as well. condolences!

This is why I subscribed to your page. Thank you for this type of content

Hey man love the content it’s gonna be a couple years before i can get my own bike but i’ll be sure to listen to you and just enjoy it and be safe. Keep up the great content my guy

Sorry for your loss with your friend. I must say this is great content subscribed!

Subbed lol got to support OG Reno boys. Starting my own motorcycle journey

I love your awareness of safety. I’ve been riding since I was a kid, I lost a lot of friends due to their ignorance. I ride Ninjas as a youth now I’m into the old man baggers now that I’m in North Georgia. Stay safe Homie.

Brutha says it so right- respect goes so far! Dont be stupid folks, and when you do, pull over. Ive had street racing completely removed, all due to respect.

Very good message man, to many persons riding as if they got something to prove when clearly all ot wud take is ONE mistake at those speeds..

I had to subscribe to this guy. Very good vibe and very honest. I absolutely love it.

“I would rather people tell me they got a full suit” this is why we respect you brother👌

Very humbling video. Thank you for this!

Yes I come from a family of motorcycle dealerships n my whole family rides uncles, aunties , grandpa . When I first started learning how to ride all I was told was ‘Be Safe’ now I tell that to my daughter 🙏 wear your gear for safety ❤️

Heavy stuff and a reality we all face out on these streets. Sorry to hear you lost a friend. There are definitely smarter and safer ways to ride that reduce risk significantly, but some degree of risk will always be part of riding unfortunately. Managing your speed and riding defensively can help, but they aren’t foolproof either. I personally default to trying to stay away from cars as much as I can. People can feel however they want to about that. I guess one of the reasons I like off road riding so much is because it gives me an opportunity to fully enjoy riding without having to think so much about this stuff. Track days can be the same I hear. At the end of the day, adding a dirt bike and/or track bike to the garage helps some of us reduce the miles we spend in traffic with distracted and speeding drivers. It’s not perfect and it often involves extra planning, loading bikes into a trailer or vehicle, and unloading them at your riding location etc, but videos like this give me greater appreciation for the added safety that comes with taking that route. Thanks for sharing man. Be safe and keep doing you.

Well said and yes … speed kills. 26 years Fire Rescue. Another good topic is lane position and position inside the lane!!

Awesome content and love your mom. Many blessings.

Saw so many of your wonderful shorts on KZfaq I finally decided to subscribe this is your first video I watched recognize the area... Been down there literally thousands of times during my... Maybe one day I'll see you out on the street or its cycle gear up off 38th

Watched several of the youtube shorts, this was my first actual full length video that Ive seen of yours. Im sorry to hear about your friend, and I applaud you promoting an alternative style to what is so common on youtube at the moment. If you still have that card, there may be a chance a recovery service might be able to acquired some of the data.

Having been on scene when a man on a harley was struck by a car, and holding his hand as he slipped into the next realm, it totally changed my views on wearing my helmet EVERY ride. And, I watch EVERYONE around me and assuming they're gonna do the dumbest thing possible. I've almost been hit multiple times and still absolutely love to ride....

That was definitely one of the realest videos you've made 👍👍 I've never understood what a 19 yr old wants with a 1000 RR 🤷🤷, other than to show off. EXPERIENCE should be the deciding factor for bike purchases. Sorry to hear about your friend. Ride safe bro 👍

Yeah man, im glad i have good influence irl and on the internet. Irl i told my buddy I wanted to start riding he immediately told me to do my msf and to buy gear first instead of my bike. He showed me DDFM and I found you and many others good influencers that put safety high up there. Now I have found my love for standards and cruisers and just bought a vulcan 500

Getting older is freaking weird isn’t it dude??? The ways your brain and thinking changes is more than anything I could’ve expected. I thought all old people were just losers, now I’m one of them

I got life insurance with my loan on bike, it came standard with rogue valley credit union. I go out to the wine country areas here in southern Oregon. You got super long strips with no cars or people out here it’s great. The narrows bridge has a long history of accidents the metal grates have strong winds that come up add a strong cross wind and it’s a recipe for trouble. It sucks losing friends, time helps but not enough.

I live in the uk and watch these videos all the time, think it's time to gear up probably and get all insurance on everything, I own a gsxr600 1998, getting my full licence next month so I reqlly appreciate this video, kinda giving me the kick I think I needed to get everthing including me covered for anything to happen

Keep doing what your doing you open many eyes an make many ppl rethink there choices

Really enjoyed this, positive message great videos. Safe riding.

HONESTY! Respect to you, man!!!

Hi from New Zealand!, thanks for the great content

😂😂wow a very lucky guy u nailed it that serves as lesson & a reminder to chain it up nxt time

I’m getting a pani v2 after about half a year of riding. You may just have saved my life. Thank you bratha ❤

I lost my brother-in-law to a driver pulling out of a driveway. Shit happens fast and cars are practically brick walls. I ride a fast e-bike but I try to keep it under 40mph. Don't drive beyond your skills, brakes, or tires. but you could still die anytime. Always wear a helmet.

your videos helped me start to pull the trigger on getting a bike. Been buying gear slowly over the past few months, i have a two piece suit, boots, gloves, a helmet, and im taking the MSF tomorrow. Gonna get me a little ninja 400 and enjoy some freedom :)

I like a shit load of your videos. This is by far my favorite one. Your a real one for this. Hand down. Top notch shit

My friend bought a 22’ R1M in November, and in March he got in an accident, bike is ruined, broke his knee, he has $11 to his name. His bike was registered but no insurance…

I am now riding for a year and upgrading to a r1. I always ride in full suit - although in germany where 180mph on the autobahn is actually legal. Doesn't mean that everybody is expecting the fly-by though. Your videos do raise awareness. Keep up the work, I know enough guys that don't ride in full suit...

i love this channel, i am a cbr user, hey buddy can u pls make a video on maintenance for sportbikes, like some type of checklist, its only you i could trust in terms of these stuff ur the best man, ride safe, i am 18 and just got my new bike and first ever sportbike last year on the month of december, i am new to dirtbike and a sportbike, idk what are the checklist for maintaining it and keeping it running healthily

Just picked up a 22 RC390 last Friday! I’m loving riding. drove my truck to work today and don’t think I can go back to dailying a car. Just feel so much better mentally when I ride vs drive.

So excited! Planning on the 23 ninja 400 for my first and keeping it nice and with that break in period I’m gonna have to stay safe! Cool to see some WA stuff since I’m up near Bellingham

I really enjoy your channel, great content :)

Good stuff as always Adobo

All i can say is what great content this is .. and such positivity

When you said he was in the military, that part made a ton of sense. When I was in, everyone that rode was getting in over their heads with bikes that were too much for their experience level. They make us take MSF courses to ride on base, but that doesn't set you up for a liter bike.

Finally Got myself a full suit because of watching you! 😂😂 at first told myself i just need jacket and be a squid. Dont care if people call me a poser but rather be safe on the road than loosing a limb! Ride safe kuya! Keep up the good vibes 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

I am 56 with a 36 year old mindset and two small children still (10 and 13). I have been watching you for a couple months and have enjoyed your content. This one is exceptionally informative of things I already know but still spoke to my inner-self. I rode my first motorbike at 6 flew my first plane at 8. I saw my dad on motorcycles my whole childhood ,but I bought my first new bike in 2014 DRZ400SM. I have been wanting sport bike for some time. I just never knew what to get. I tend to research everything before making large purchases and getting reviews from people like you. I wanted the Apilia RS660 Extrema but it takes 6 weeks for delivery and Ducatti is above my pay grade. I wanted a GSX-R600 until I listened to you bash the squid crowd. I don't have a "crowd type personality". It's enough to just land in the sports bike community. So I opted for the Kawasaki 2023 NINJA® ZX™-6R KRT EDITION. All this said, thank you for encouraging me to buy this bike. I was concerned it may be a bit more than I can handle. I watched a vid yesterday by you where you said "...it's better to ride a fast bike slow then a slow bike fast". I am moving to Clarksburg, WV and will travel to Morgantown for work. The DRZ single cylinder will make the trip but, not for long. It has 43,000 miles. I am a careful rider. That bike hasn't been any faster than 88 mph. I like to jump to speed quickly and hit the twisties a little faster than the posted speed. I will NEVER ride faster than 90 unless I needed to get home in an emergency. It's just good to see guys making content encouraging people to ride smarter and safer. I work in healthcare. I am a surgical tech and have seen people die from making poor choices. Because of you, I am buying my first full set of real riding gear. I have always just looked for the cheapest way out. Sticky side down, right?

I'm 17 with an SV650 as my second bike, your videos make me think alot more critically about my riding and make me think twice about doing stupid shit

Two of my very good friends passed away in motorcycle accidents they both were speeding! Yvonne from the N.Y bronx and Paul from FL tampa R.I.P🙏 to both my brothers🏍️🏍️🇺🇲🇵🇷

Here in Finland if you go 100 mph over the speed limit you go to court and pay thousands and lose your license for a year and a half minimum. You are lucky if you dont go to jail.

Your laugh is so contagious, I love it.

Luv your post's...can you believe...56 and still riding....now r6...live to ride ride to live👍

I only got pulled over once at midnight in the middle of nowhere on my concours 14 going 110. Just trying to make it home from my girlfriends house 3 hours away. The cop came up to me and said: do you know how much it's going to hurt if you go down at 110mph? I said I don't want to find out. He told me to slow down and let me go. Never asked for any ID or registration or anything. I mean, the highway was empty and I was miles away from any civilization. Maybe if I did that in city traffic it would be a different story.

Love the safety talk. I've got an Aerostich suit on order for the safety and how long they last. I'm in CA and ride every day of the year

I went down twice, lucky to still be alive. 💪🏽 told the nerves in my hand are messed up and give up riding. Installed a quick shifter and I’m continuing to still get in my miles. I was told after both of my close calls that I needed to learn one thing….. find something worth living for so you’ll want to go home after each ride. I have my son…. So when I ride I keep the bell he got my on my keys so I can see it.🤝 we both ride.

I miss Reno, lived their for 28 years now in Columbus Indiana! Love your vids!

I'm 31yrs old with 2 kids. Just bought an Fz6r from my little brother. I had an old coworker that had an R6 and he hit someone pulling out of their driveway when he was about 27yrs old, he's now 30+ with a TBI and wheelchair bound. His mother who is every bit of 70+ has to take care of him day in and day out. He effectively ruined her life by having some fun in his. Don't be like him. His story keeps me grounded and not trying to be crazy on these things. Ride safe!

Love the videos bro. Thorough ashit fr.

I just bought a jacket gloves boots because of you im 22 and got self control so far 😂

Bro if you and dandan were around doing this back when i was a young private I may have had the mental fortitude to get a bike lol. Without y’all it took everything for me to say no after my test ride…lookin like a total squid on a bike I had no business being on I decided I had no reason to be on a bike till I can understand the responsibility of riding for survival. I’m 31 now and finally ready for a bike 😂. Y’all out here saving lives bro keep it up!

Ethics are not ethics when ethics are overshadowed by hypocrisy. Glad you spoke of riding safety and called out other "KZfaqrs" for their stupidity. I like my speed too. But there is a time and place for everything. Triple digit speeds are not cool in and around other motorists. I've lost two friends from reckless speed. And it's not the memories of their warm smile I remember most. It's the "broken record" conversations about "It's only a matter of before someone dies." Have fun no doubt. But consider the grave consequences of your reckless actions.

Speeding accidents will always be a problem, especially for younger people. Here in Germany the Motorcycle Licence is restricted by power depending on the age. It starts at 16 Years with 14 PS, then 18 Years with 48 PS and with 24 Years it's open power. I think meanwhile this would be a good concept for cars to.

I bought a new Gold Wing in June 22. Im 57. Haven't really rode much since I was 15-21. I was a safe rider for maybe 2 months. I ride like I am a teenager going as fast as I can, especially when I'm mad. In traffic. On an 850lb bike. I love it. And Im lucky to still be here, risking it all. So cruising and driving nicely is actually very cool too. I'm tryin. And this vid will help. Thanks!

I got a full suit to do track days, even before I bought my bike. Videos like yours convinced me it's a good idea to wear it when I'm going out to do anything more than just putter around. Even if I'm just going to get gas I still wear full gear. Things can go real wrong real fast so I'd rather have as good of chances as I can.

plan to get my first bike soon man! stay safe

hey man im down to do a trackday, just need more info on it, also what company do you go through? Idk if you would be down for that or not, i wanna learn more on the track so it translates to the street

This dude speaks volume, I remeber 1 year after learning how to ride and nearly got my head lopped off from a semi with a flat bed pulling out into a 100k area, almost stopped riding after that, bike I had was the old reliable GN250

I did just buy my first suit today because of one of your previous videos! RSV4 is next

i just bought a 390 duke and i got full gear. cant wait to enter the community! i feel the 390 is fast enough i can get around street or light hwy i dont need 1000cc+ id prolly get stupid if i had that access so i had to check myself 😅

Yeah, I had to turn my back on motorcycles. Track only. Do I miss it? Duh... Do I miss the stress relief after a hard day's work? Of course. I fill it up with following MotoGP, watching KZfaq videos of riders like you, getting back into my old muscle car. Thank you for letting me live through you guys that keep doing it, but after my stepdaughter entered my life, I realized I gotta play it safe and be there for her. Yes, I could go tomorrow for a different reason, I'm just trying to increase the odds. And I'm not bitter. I just want to be there as long as possible for her. I am happy I got to take her on a few rides (she was like 4 years old) before I stopped. I just couldn't risk it anymore. I am glad the boy I raised previously 100% breathes dirt bikes, and he just can't let it go. I get it. I don't discourage it one bit, because I've been there. He jumped by old Baja truck when he was like 9, and now can wheelie a quarter mile. Anyway, I'm rambling. Be safe, everyone, and trust me, you'll love the track. No fear of cops, cagers, being hit by idiots. Just you versus machine.

Sorry for your loss brother. I lost somebody too he was on his way to work wasn’t even doing anything wrong just bad place bad time. My brother 11 years ago had a lady pull in front of him and he went 98 feet it was a mess but he’s all good has kids married still rides I just got a myself last week working on getting my temps.

I do WANT a suit. I’m trying to buy more gear (only have gloves, snell helmet, and work boots) but I’m just super confused on what route to go. Would love a one piece suit but I’m very worried about staying cool. I’m gonna be riding in hot weather a lot. Any tips?

An accident here in Toronto a year ago has a young guy on a R6 running into a car at 200k on the 401 highway-life threating injuries-not sure if he died-don't speed when traffic is around is the message of this video and I agree 100%.Also wear the high viz helite airbag vest-an innovative safety product that could make a difference if you go flying off your bike at any speed.

I go to motorcycle mechanics institute and my lab partner/good buddy Pete died on his way home from class not two weeks ago. I was with him up until he turned on the freeways out here in Phoenix. We’ve had one student die every month this year.
