here's a cheap tip: You know those metalic key ring hoops? Put them on your zippers. Voila, you can now unzip while you have your gloves on :)

Also, been using toothpaste as an anti-fog for my scuba and moto gear for decades. Never tried H&S shampoo but toothpaste works amazing and doesn't seem to be brand-specific which is nice 'cause you can use whatever you've got laying around. Great tip on anti-fogging the lens though... definitely a must in cooler temps!

You're paying way too much for plastic bags. Who's your bag guy?

Very useful and straight to the points, you're my new favorite motorcycle related channel now. Cheer from a small Cambodian motovlogger.

After GoT, Joffrey has settled down as a motorcycle enthusiast

You can also use 2 plastic gloves per hand, helps a lot for thermal insulation. I tested it a lot on kart races and at work too.

Hey, Ryan, you got the surgical gloves thing backwards. I've been doing the waterproof glove thing for years but put them on the outside. All you need is extra large gloves. Cool thing is when I speed out the other side of that thundering rain cloud to blue sky's I take them off and Boom, dry gloves still. I keep them inside the top of my helmet under the padding for quick access. Brilliant.

To add on to the bag hack, use freezer ziplocks. They tend to be thicker

you speak very well. i could see you hosting a television show.

Please, do not used dry paper towels (or other cellulose containing stuff) on your visor, you'll have it scratched.

This was the first video I watched of Ryan and was instantly blown away by his way of explaining things. I've been a subscriber since. 👍 good job and keep up the good work, your channel has more than doubled since I subscribed

i can see you now, riding along, zip lock flapping, hands frozen (although technically dry), squinting through the fog, to get some more shampoo and hair ties.

Dude you look soo young here lol

#2, lol. your hands sweat like crazy with rubber gloves so why not just enjoy the rain bath, it works for me :-)

I use a velcro strap to lock my front brake, more secure & great for parking on a downhill too.

you've got that one handed lotion pump down ;)

Thanks for the magnet traffic light mod! I have three sensor lights between my house and the freeway which I used to sit at for 5-10 min @ 0545. This takes time off my commute and I already had the magnets on my fridge.

Good tips! I've been using the glove trick, for years, when I work outside in the winter. I can get by with thinner gloves that way. I always keep a pair in my tank bag, with my 'frog togs', as a minimal rain gear set.

Man buddy - you’ve come a LONG way since these days. Much more compelling content in 2022.

Your videos are consistently excellent.. You deserve 10x the views you have-- Keep grindin'!

That traffic light idea was great! I'm gonna have to try that because I get stuck at lights all the time!

And Look! "breathing way further than the first time" No Fog!!! Hahaha love it

Great stuff man. Been following you for awhile now. Really nice to see your channel growing.

Damn that waterproof tip is genius and came to me right when I needed it lol. I bought my gloves then realized I should have bought a waterproof pair. Now this solves the problem!!!!

Some good hacks. I like the ferry crossing suggestion. I have done a few and have always been worried about the bike moving.

magnets flying off the frame into the sprocket and chain sounds like a good ol time

Skip forward six years and it's like Ryan's mind hasn't had an oil change - it's filthy, and funny.

I've used the second "hack" for quite some time now lol. BUT not for the purpose of a rain protector like you used it for. I use them just to keep warm on those extra cold nights riding home. Put them on then my gloves over those my hands stay nice and warm. Works great!

Dude, just wear the rubber mechanic gloves OVER your leather gloves. The leather stays dry (stitching will last longer), won't be any hotter, and the rubber will enhance the grip on the bars.

Awesome hack on the magnets! I'm sick and tired of putting the bike in neutral hopping off and activating the pedestrian crossing sensor! eh.

Man i´ve been riding for 12 years and never heard of these tips before. Very nice.

Get XXL latex(or nitrile) gloves and put them on OVER a fleece glove and you've got an excellent temporary waterproof and warm glove. If you put 'em on over moto gloves just be sure to not tear them going on and make sure the latex isn't overstretched in areas that will cause it to tear when you move your hand.

i used a short velcro strap on the front brake lever..it works very well too 😊👍👍

This is a great idea for videos, I would love to see more of these types of videos. Keep up the great work there in Canada!

Pinlocks work well, but I used to clean the inside of my visor with washing-up liquid (this is great at preventing fogging) and on the outside of the visor I used to use silicone furniture polish, spray on, wipe off and rain runs straight off 👍

Just my tuppence on a couple of things; The magnet tank bag may be good for a piece of paper, like a map, on a faired bike on a calm day about town, but put 50 mph of wind at it and it's coming off, and at whatever trajectory nature commands. Do that to your phone at your expense. And the other thing is that I was once called home from work as my bike was leaking fuel outside a shop. It turns out that some passer-by had (probably fantasised about riding the bike and) given the throttle a twist. The elasticated "reminder" contraption I had tightened around the twist-grip and the brake lever managed the lock the throttle open, eventually flooding my bike then out on to the road it was on. Of course, with fuel-injection this isn't an issue, but older-bike owners need to be aware, and I expect most of them are. Thank you for the content. Much enjoyable :)

#2 : Rain proofing also comes with a bit heat resistance. If your gloves get wet in cold rain, your hands will get much colder. Getting wet on a a bike where you recieve constant wind is not a good idea. Not for hands, never for anywhere else...

Not clear on the glove liner you used, but the latex things I wear to clean chains, change oil etc do not breath. On a hot day, my hands are drenched in sweat...but clean. The stoplight sensor is looking for ferrous metal. Many of our bikes now have aluminum frames, making them invisible to the sensors. Our kickstands are still made of steel though. I always just kick mine down in the loop sensor. So far, so good. I like the parking brake trick, but still prefer a proper tank bag. Though if money were tight, that Ziplock would do in a pinch.

I have a magnet that the original owner placed on the bottom of the frame, lots of lights still never change.

The anti-fog trick is blowing my mind. I've got to try that!

Well done. I scuba dive and we use baby shampoo in our masks to prevent fogging so I think that might also work.

Great ideas Ryan, looking forward to Part deux. When are you coming to Toronto?

Another good hack for motorcycles is if you go and get a coffee from the coffee shop, get a drink tray and you can put the drink tray in your side case and it will hold your coffee until you get to where your going.

Man o man. I like watching Ryan’s earlier stuff. It’s awesome to see how far he has come! You are a impressive host Ryan, keep evolving my friend

those were actually good life hacks thanks!

Ryan, love the magnet on the bottom of the bike idea, very inventive! However.... be careful where you place strong magnets near where oil flows, as it can attract and hold any metals the engine is shedding (assuming components are ferrous) in the wtong spot - anywhere that is not the oil filter. Keep up the awesome vidoes, getting into a really watchable and professional groove!

luv the tankpad hack!! great vid, keep em cmin!

I like how you barely even blow on the visor after your H&S trick lol

Much appreciated with the anti-fog tip. I use a pinlock myself, which is great, but that doesn't stop my internal sun visor from fogging up so I'm gonna try this out on it. Thanks again!

That last "hack" about the magnet triggering the lights doesn't work. It's been tested multiple times.

I use shaving lather on my riding specs and visor. I think its the lanolin that prevents fogging. And at traffic lights, if I'm the only one there, or first at the light, I splay out the kickstand. The added steel helps trigger the light. I like the magnets in the ziplok bag - will try that on next road trip. Thx

Love these videos dude!

If the light won't turn I usually look 2 or 3 times and then run the fuckin thing. It's kind of exhilarating actually hahah.

I use Rain-X windshield wiper fluid on both sides of the face shield. Works wonders. I'll be looking for some magnets for the street light sensors!!! Great idea!

Brilliant tips!! Love it! Especially the anti fog ideas. 👏👏👏

Drove a motorcycle through a sudden blizzard once. I can swear that the rubber glove trick works.

Never ever use paper towels to polish your visor. It looks and feels soft, but it will introduce minute scratches to your visor. Always use a piece of cloth..

What about oversized rubber gloves over your regular gloves, then a rubber band around the wrist to keep water out there? I haven't tried this, but it seems like it'd provide better insulation than rubber gloves under fabric gloves.

Talking about magnets. If your motor bike as one of those oil filter cartridge style ones. You know the ones there black normally and screw on to your motor bike engine. If you place a magnet on to it somewhere it helps to take any small metal materials out of the engine. So when you next do your oil change simply take it off and place it on your new oil filter. There's also a small magnet on your drain sump plug as well. Which does the same job.

I used to use rubber gloves under my lacrosse gloves in rainy games and practices, never thought of my riding gloves, thanks for the tip!

astronauts use baby shampoo tear free on their visors in space. tru story

instead of the mecanic gloves... sometimes you get these toilet cleaning gloves in ridiculus sizes so you can fit a normal pair of motorcycle gloves underneath them:)

How have I not come across this channel for so long!! You are awesome

Very helpful, I like the band around the front brake thing and I bloody love the magnets for the traffic lights hahaha, wicked =P

I not sure the magnet thing really works. I had magnets on my old bike and they NEVER triggered the lights. I even bought one that was supposed to trigger lights... Not so much. Love all your hacks, but I think the magnet one is sort of wishful thinking...

Does the shampoo trick work with tinted visors as well?

This kid is a winner. Probably not a kid, but compared to me you are. Well done!

I swear Ryan looks like he could be a cartoon character 🤣😂j/k Ryan...You the Man 💯 GRAND 💰

Instead of having the magnet at the base of the motorcycle.. Wouldn't putting them in your riding boots work?

What's your "hack" for removing scratches from you shield after using a paper towel on your shield? Nice Tips.

This guy is best thing to watch regardless of content

Helpful and cute and eloquent presenter!

1:48 vs 2:59 bit of a difference of how hard he blew on the vizer . i smell some bull shit lol

Do the magnets need to be a certain strength??

Definitely using the magnet trick, and adding it to my car as well since THAT is too light to trip sensors. Latex/nitrile gloves are almost impossible to put onto wet hands, though. And the hair tie idea is GENIUS. I think that's saved my use of the disc lock, especially because I have a load of spare ones handy all the time.

Recentlly discovered your channel just as I decided to do my 'A' (big bike) licence. These tips will come in handy. I once smashed the mudguard on a 125 when I forgot the disc lock.

Il try the fog hack :) tnx

I would like to point out that rainx makes a product, actually meant for car windows, but I'm pretty sure it will work on you visor, I haven't tried it yet I keep forgetting to buy a bottle but I do know it works on car window, that will also stop fogging, and at $4 it cost about the same or less than a bottle of dandruff shampoo.

brilliant tips bro...ur a pro at the production too

Really appreciate the tips Ryan! Nicely done!

These were great. I know you are a nice guy but...I don't know if it's your face or if it's your accent but you seem so damn smug! I know you aren't but every time I watch one of your videos i think about it lol Great content! Keep it up!

I've heard car wax on the outside of your visor is good for making water flush off your visor!

Purchased a motor cycle security keyed lock on ebay cheap price. Lock attaches through one of the slots/holes in your front brake disc/rotor. Has a high viz fluro yellow coiled string attached to lock, other end can be stretched & attached to your handle bar end near brake or clutch lever. Lock has an inbuilt motion detector/siren that activates if bike is moved whilst secured. Fluro yellow string really catches your eye when you approach from the front, sides or grab your handle bar, by that time the siren has activated. Cheers from 🇦🇺

Good video. I have a bright orange elastic that came with my disk lock and reaches the handlebar. Definitely don't want to ride away with that lock on.

Good Video but the magnets at stop lights is a stretch!!

has anyone ever seen a face shield fog up on the outside?

Just want to throw it out there that I really enjoy your videos brother. Keep up the great work!!

Picture quality is great AF!

what's the motorcycle that's in the back?

There has never been any reliable proof that magnets, no matter how strong, will affect traffic lights in any way.

Best emergency waterproof gloves I’ve ever had - basic cotton work gloves with nitrile gloves stretched over them...warm and completely dry. I keep a “set” of these in a zip lock bag on each bike.

being stuck at a set of lights is so frustrating. One set of lights a few years ago was so bad I could sit there all day and not get a green until a car pulled up an inch or two behind me. The one time I ran it after waiting for 8 light cycles a cop was coming down the road and he came after me! We went back to the lights and I physically showed him the problem and got out of a ticket.

How well does the magnet hack work?? i've heard it's just a myth

is it me or does he look like joffrey baratheon from game of thrones

Magnets for the Traffic sensors is cool!

great ideas! very glad I came across your channel. you are not full of yourself like many other motovloggers. plus I only trust skinny armed people.... we rule lol.... really we do

TIPS!!!!!!! STOP FUCKING CALLING TIPS HACKS

This is now the 2. time i have watched this video. Now i remember where I learned that hair elastic/ferry trick that I have been using for the last 4 years. Thanks

So glad you shared the traffic light hack, thankyou sir.

Don't want any scratches... uses paper towel on plexi. : | Magnets tripping traffic lights... do you science bro?
