"Chrome studded saddlebags you got from J&P Cycle" I'm fucking dying 🤣🤣🤣

My favorite part was about the road racing, "well you're not very fast then..." Hahaha! Love it!

I'm 70 years old and have five bikes. I've been riding since I was about 13 years old. I of course don't do stunt riding but I also don't wear boots (feels just too clunky). I wear armored sneakers, I can feel the foot controls better. I do wear armored riding jeans, an armored leather jacket. I wear an assortment of helmets (depending on weather, what I'm riding, how far I'm riding etc.) Hey you ride your ride the way you want not the way someone else is comfortable with. Just my opinion.

Hahaha! I had to lay her down, every old man’s excuse when I hear that I giggle like a girl every time. Thanks for talking for the guys that actually ride.🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

For my normal riding, I actually prefer the feeling of my motorcycle boots to the tennis shoes. Definitely more support than those leather work boots.

I stopped caring what people say when I seen them fighting over toilet paper in 2020, ride your ride, wear what you want/don’t want, great channel keep it up🤙🏻

I'm a new motorcycle rider but very seasoned athlete. With my limited bike experience I can already tell that I appreciate the tactility that thinner surfaces offer on all the important control surfaces (throttle, brakes, clutch, shifter, and even seat). I can totally believe that this "lively" communication could make a huge difference in the ability to do advanced skills. I absolutely hate the feeling of being numb with no feedback. Thank you for sharing.

I just found this channel by chance, fantastic truths, straight to the point. Loved it thanks.

"Put on your costume" Fuck.... absolute gold!!! Best video EVER!

Great piece!!! You nailed it with the HD riders (yes, I ride a Harley) who get their "costume" on and play billy joe badass while wearing their skid lid or uber protective doo rag! People ask why I wear a full face or modular helmet. I tell them because I don't have enough sense to lose anymore and walk away.

Love it! Whoop to the Dog from the Big M Town, Memphis, TN. Keep on rocking!

Hands down the best video you’ve put out Ryan! Lol I love this shit

Interesting discussion and perspective. I would be the last person to ever tell a stunt rider what kind of gear they should use, because for me, if I was to ever be doing a wheelie or trying to precisely manipulate controls from a standing upright position, that means something has gone horribly wrong and I would want as much armor between me and the outside world as humanely possible!

Different rides require different gear. All that needs to be said

I could not agree more, been preeching the same for years, just leave em to it now, those that preech and ramble about gear usually have little riding experience. 🖤

Hahaha! I don't know who you are but I love your Attitude and how you delivered it!

I hear your point, Man. For stunting it might be different. However motorcycle specific boots offer MUCH more protection and support for your ankle. The riding pants offer impact and abrasion protection. I have been in a bad wreck. Will not ride without my gear. I would be dead without my full face helmet.

Thanks for the lesson, I wear boots but I don’t stunt, makes lots of sense, Enjoy your channel 🇵🇷🥊🙏

I ride a bagger. Been riding 51 years. I wear the gear that makes me feel feel safe. But more than that, I love the way you splayed the fuckin clothes cops and people minding other people’s business. SUBSCRIBED.

Love this! thanks for the good laugh while I’m at work.

Nicely said dude 👍 I wish I could wear shorts here in England on a motorcycle but its usually fucking freezing 🥶. I had a crash and my trouser leg got ripped straight off anyway and my leg got messed up ! Keep doing g what your doing always waiting on new vids 👌

This shit is gold haha. Ive never had any issues doing a wheelie in my red wings, but whatever lol

Tcx makes some solid “riding “shoes. Work to stunt in. I’ve wrecked the same way one left once right stunting and once in moto shoes once not and I didn’t break my ankle with the tcx on. The little ankle cup protection came in clutch.

I f4cking love this vid! I use to do aggressive skating and BMX and ridding off-road so every single thing has a learning curve and as more experienced you are more risks you can take, more picky you become with the gearing as more movement freedom you wanna have.

I certainly hope no new riders take your advice about riding gear. Bikes are dangerous enough without good gear. It's up to the individual to accept personal risk when doing anything. Anybody who has ever crashed on a bike will sat they were glad for every stitch of gear they had on when it went bad.

I smoked some green before I watched this video ryan … can’t stop laughing right now Good Shit

I fuckin love this channel 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Never stunt rode my harley but like watching videos such as yours or Cbear. Always wondered why most guys rode with shorts and shoes and now it makes sense.

I love these rants by Ryan

Thank you!!! Dickie shorts and high top all leather chucks almost year round.

I hate people being Karens about gear. Wear what you want.

😂 subscribed! He’s roasting but staying classy !! 💪

To touch on the jeans part, there are “riding jeans” made to slide even at highway speeds. I don’t wear them, but they exist 😂

Love it! I've had more people give me "advice" on how to ride and what to wear that have never rode a bike before than actual riders...🙄

I hear you man. It’s our choice what we wear or don’t wear.

Hahaha love this

Your a fucken badass brother! Keep doing what your doing love the content

Plenty of racers are well aware of the rear brake, and YamahaChamp school has a whole focus on teaching people rear brake because of the myth that sport motorcycles dont really need a rear brake. "No rear brake" for racing is an outdated method, now days motoamerica, motogp, Isle of Man TT and especially the king of the batters they all have a very highly skill developed use of the rear brake. Yamaha champshool's ChampU has a whole teaching segment on just the rear brake. Kyle Wyman is a teacher/parisipation assistant at ChampSchool, the guy who rides SE's Road Glide for king of the baggers. He's a super accomplished superbike racer.

I just rock a icon rocket coat and icon full face with jeans and DC's. I've never seen jeans melt but I have seen them powder. An who an old man put me through his car years ago when he "didn't see me" and I feel the coat and pants helped keep the glass out of me. It comes down to people just need to do their own thing and enjoy their bike. Keep up the good work..

I rode with a mate long-time ago who wore steel cap boots. little minor fuck up on his behalf turned out to be a life changing situation. The steel cap folded back and virtually chopped off all toes on his right foot from just behind the balls of his foot

Not a stunt guy but I've set my bike up for mountain roads. Muscling a Sportster around tight Appilacian twistes requires similar feel. I really like having just the right gloves so I can feel the bars and thin sole boots work for me on the brake pedal. I can imagine stunting takes that to the next level so i can appreciate the need for specific gear.

I can respect the skill stunters have, but when I'm riding hundreds of miles at 80mph, I'm going to wear 10inch Nick's boots, a riding jacket, and a full-face helmet. I can replace gear, I can't replace my body.

"chrome studded saddle bags that your bought from your J&P catalog" hahahaha holy fuck. hilarious man

only thing that saved me when i wrecked was Kevlar jeans and my helmet, gloves got chewed but saved my hands for the most part. Tibia plateau still broke toe still broke two ribs still broke, Kevlar jeans actually did their job though didn't get a drop of road rash on the legs and i'm grateful for that. Normal jeans ain't shit you'll get what Ryan said melted jeans into your rash, Kevlar was the only thing saving me cause the rest of the jean got chewed up i'll be honest that was the best investment i made. Love ya Ryan always keeping it 100!

I fuckin love this channel 😂

Good topic Funny shit some other KZfaqr posted a video about boots today 😂 I had to comment sayin After a 3 hour ride I never felt more uncomfortable then before wearing boots I wanted to wear my slip ons way more comfortable and like you said you feel more on the rear brake. Not that I’m wheeling but way better comfort if you ask me VANS ALL THE WAY 😂

It's all about freedom to choose. It makes a lot of sense that you need the precise feel for stunting. Me personally, I ride my street bike with motocross boots. But I come from a dirt riding background and have been on dirt bikes since 1970. It's what I feel comfortable wearing when I ride. I have always worn a lot of gear, but don't rely on it to save me. Better to rely on skills.

This is the first video on this channel I've seen, wear what you like mate, my old man said to me - it doesn't matter what the hell you wear, the aim is don't fall off in the first place. I wear all the gear all the time because it's freezing and raining most of the time here, plus I can't ride for shit and definately can't do wheelies lol.

Dropping the knowledge! Hell yeah!

I always wondered why stunters didn't wear gear, kinda figured it had something to do with comfort and flexibility so you're explanation makes sense. Im no stunter tho so Kevlar jeans and boots it is for me 🤣

Love it! High top vans, thin leather gloves, and a shoei for me 🤙🏼 im just not a shorts person or id probably have those to (also 100+ here in the desert)

I fucking love you. Wish I was out there to help you build badass bikes.

I love that line if your road racing and using the rear brake you’re not fast lol sooooo true

When I had my stunt bike , we would do a hand rear brake lever. Agree doing stunts is at a slower speed and boot wont help, but I did wear a lower riding suit. Also I did road racing with Factory Honda and rear and front brakes are a must .(trail braking) at 170 mph Stay safe and do you.

Best was when my mother tried to tell me what could happen when I was standing up on my bike. Mom Ive eaten shit on my skateboard at 50 mph. Smh. 😂 cant wait for my bike to be done so I can get more rowdy like you guys!!!

“We’ll I use the rear brake when I road race. Well you’re not very fast”😂😂😂 that was my favorite part

the reason why I keep my mouth shut about most shit lmao. The more I know, the less I know, and the more I understand that most people don't know shit either.

an angry Ryan is a funny Ryan. awesome shit bro, keep it up 😎

Lol, have more rants. They are awesome

Mr. Darwin is chuckling somewhere...but hey, you do you...

Man thank you for just being honest. Fawk the safety patrol boys 👍

Experience is everything. Marketing and regulation has made everyone the “bike gear” police. F that protect your melon and wear what helps control your machine. Great video homie.

I love that Ryan makes a video specifically to tell people he doesn’t give two fucks on your two cents about what you wear or your opinion on what he should… and the comment section flooded with said nonsense. The internet really is a special place for special people 🙃

This guy put up a damn good argument… idk how to do anything but ride, and he convinced me that he is right lol

Stunt Bunny Vans… I’d wear the shit out of those. Hope to see those on your site soon….

Nailed it! There will always be Karnes out there! Keep killing it!

I wear boots and sneakers. There’s a significant difference in where my feet need to be when wearing my boots vs sneakers. 🍻 “Let those who ride decide.”

Thank you for making this video. I’m with ya.

With respect, I ride 600 miles a week into work and back, more if I head into the mountains on the weekend. I wear jeans and boots because they're warm enough for So Cal mornings, cool enough for summer days and they're appropriate where I work. If I wore shorts and tennis shoes I'd freeze my balls off. Not only that I'm getting peppered by rocks, sand and any other shit people didn't feel they needed to secure in the bed of there truck. Don't think I wanna face that in shorts. What I guess I'm sayin' is I think you should dress for the conditions. You do what works for you man. I'll keep watchin'.

Because Boots are for "Hell Yeah" Brothers with sparkly jeans.

Could be the best RK vid so far lol "leather for lyfe BROTHER!!!" haha

Love the video man keep shredding the streets

Man I always felt weird about being the only guy around town (in the south) not wearing a bunch of black leather on a bike and either some DCs or Etnies instead of boots. I love the looks you get when wearing a Hawaiian shirt blasting down the road on a V-twin🤣

AMEN !!! I'm tired of hearing that shit too ! If you wreck..... you're going to get fucked up . Do it your way . 🤣🤣🤣

Hell yeah!! Thank you!!

I like how everyone has a coffee in their hand lmao

I wear boots 24-7, always have and always will. You guys do you and I will do me. I don't care what you wear or don't wear but don't try and put me in the basket with the "I had to lay it down, Dude." bunch and I won't put you in the "Look at those idiots." basket. 60 years ago when I started riding the Converse High Tops were all the rage.

I get that same shit every time I ride. I don’t do anything like you do on a bike but, I am a fucking skateboarder and board feel is everything. So if I can feel how the bike is talking to me while I am riding the same way a board talks to me when I am skating, then I am in tune with what the hell is going on.

I always wear boots when I ride, wait I just wear boots all the time. Jeans don't hold up riding pants sure a lil better but as you said still getting road rash. Ride how you want riding is freedom. Loved the straight talk never stunt just started riding you guys who do are animals 🤙

Oh sht! You're right, this video is so enlightening, thank you🙏

most people were i come from think it's mandatory to put their weekend pirate costume on. combat boots, finger less gloves, leather vest with 100 dumb patches on it, do rag no helmet. they will tell you that's what real bikers wear. come monday they put the costume back in the closet, and you would not recognize them. what ever floats your your boat i guess.

This totally made my day. Love the truth man! Love that you stay true, be you and fuck everybody else

I can't talk, I just got back from the shop wearing crocs and board-shorts. feels good man.

Bahahahaha being scolded 😂 way too funny 🤘😎🤘

So I need to wear a denim jacket, football cleats, and never touch my rear breaks unless I’m stomping into a dirt track style power slide. Got it! Thank you for the after school PSA. 🤣😂🤣😂 All BS aside, good video. Too many know it alls putting around on the weekends.

Lmao at whole entire costume 🤣🤣🤣

Hell yeah . That's why this a country of freedom. I enjoy riding with shorts and sneakers when it's over 100 too bro

I don't always ride around in a jock strap but when I do I drink Dos Equis!!! Keep it real my friend!! LMAO

Don't let the Karens get to you homie... Do ya thing boi!!!

When I wadded up my bagger doing well over 80, my shoes came off, my jeans got shredded and my tank top was gone. The good news is that your skin, finger nails, etc. grows back, so no worries ;). I still ride my bikes to the beach wearing flip-flops, trunks and a tank top. If I’m wearing boots and leathers, it’s because it’s in the 40’s or below. I don’t care what anyone says, comfort over safety rules the day . You want safety? Drive your car or truck and drink your beer out of a sippy cup.

I love this guy's attitude..... When I'm right on a subject , I have the same attitude....

Great video. Some people just need something to bitch about. If you ain’t doing it like them, you’re wrong, as they’re the experts of everything. Most people who ride are well aware of the risks of how they ride. I don’t tell other people how to ride their shit, they’re grown. They can make their own decisions.

Fuck yeah man 🤘🏾 if only people could learn to mind their business lol.

Again. I’ve said it before, this man speaks his truth like a sworn statement. Respect.

After 40 years as a rider (34 of those in AZ), I ride in shorts and running shoes. Still wear a helmet and gloves when riding, though.

As a guy that’s ALWAYS worn work boots religiously on my bikes……. I might be going out to Buy me some Hi-Top Vans. Lmao. You make some good points Kruesi.

Greatest video yet!!!

That was awesome! Having ridden motocross since childhood then track day and adv riding as an adult (but never serious stunt riding) I was instinctually on the other side of this. You made absolute since and completely changed my mind. Also, anyone with no helmet or a turtle shell has no right to say anything about safety to someone in a good fullface.

Love this guy ❤️

My man.....giving it to you RAW 👍👍👍
