Mesh/Armored gear by Skullriderz. Great ventilation. Great protection.

I just started practicing riding yesterday. I started off on a bigger bike but your videos have helped me so much. Thank you.

As a pretty new rider myself I really enjoy your approach to this experience. You have a great cautiously optimistic mentality about it all that’s very cool. One of the (many) things I picked up early on from MotoJitsu was the safety advice he offered on trailing behind vehicles. He recommends never stopping directly behind them. Instead he says to always pick a spot just outside either bumper. So if the cager behind you gets distracted, they won’t crush you and the bike into the vehicle stopped in front of you. I practice this at every stop, especially in busy parking lots.

That parking lot would give me anxiety haha You took it like a champ. Happy to see the improvement with your riding! ❤️

Night riding feels more comfortable because there’s no heat 😊 stay safe out there Rea 😁

Great to hear from you again. The fireworks looked beautiful. Luckily we're getting to the cooler times, so the gear my be just right.. 😅. That looked so hectic... But you did a great job. I feel some riders would be trying to skip the whole line and weave around through pedestrians as well.

Nice video, Rea! Great fireworks in the background.

Rock on guurl. Ya Pedestrians don't think about anything.

Well at least you can revel in the great clutch control in stop & go traffic, awesome to see your massive boost in skills and confidence , but don’t be in too much of a hurry to get on the freeway with your bike only being 500cc it’s a little harder to maintain high speeds, find some places where it’s only a few miles between exits so you’re not trapped going farther than you feel comfortable. Be sure to enjoy yourself !!!

Good job that is a difficult are to ride and not get bumped into by a turning car. Well done good place to practice

Your skills are improving and no doubt you are becoming more confident. The stop-go traffic is a good test for you. The fireworks were spectacular but also a distraction when trying to concentrate on the road. Thanks for sharing your video.

Great job dealing with that Rea, it was chaotic indeed. Your riding skills are visibly improving in every video - great job! I have not had to try something like that yet, but hopefully I will be able to do as well as you did. Looks like you had maybe the best seat in the house for the fireworks you saw. That ride out with all the pedestrians was definitely nerve-wracking for me just watching lol. I have been on a few night rides so far, it is definitely enjoyable (at least with no chaos! )😃Thank you for sharing the journey with us, it is so helpful in my own - keep them coming!

On hot days I ride with a TechNiche Hyperkewl evaporative vest under my mesh jacket. It has something inside it that soaks up water. Dip the vest in water for a few minutes before you wear it, and it stays damp for a few hours. The water-holding stuff seems to slowly wash out, so I have to buy a new one from time to time.

That exhaust sounds a bit annoying, at least in the video. You are doing great in your riding adventures. Keep it up! 👍

it looks like you have your high beam headlight on which is very annoying to the person in front of you. You might will get someone angry at you...road rage. which will not be health for a bike rider.

What kind of rebel?

[ Like ] ...a lot. :)

You have to be more aggressive. You’re too timid.
