your support donations emails comments uh i appreciate it all you guys don't take anything for granted for those of you that have never been to this channel my name is robert i'm a retired nypd

forward and the purpose of this channel is twofold it's me sharing my knowledge experience and training that i received from the nypd highway patrol motorcycle unit with you guys with a special emphasis on slow speed motorcycle operation because that's the aspect of operating a motorcycle that's most important and most motorcycle riders lack i also want to help you be the boss of your motorcycle and what that simply means is being in 100 control and having the confidence to ride your motorcycle and actually enjoy it and be safer in the process now this video is not about washing my

before this is my first time going to daytona now check this out guys this is my old jack again you guys know the experience i had with that harbor freight jack look at this one this is the old one beautiful that's how a jack should go down no hands mom look mom no hands i mean it's just that simple so i still haven't bought a jack yet i do i did say that i'm probably gonna get i'm not gonna say probably i'm definitely gonna get the j s jack um but in the meantime and in between time this jacket's working just fine i really i don't have any problems with it all right but anyway this is not about the jack so yes this is my first time going down to daytona i already have my room booked i actually had the room booked for um [Music] friday through sunday and then i saw the weather was going to be bad on saturday it was supposed to be rain so i decided to book a room for thursday to sunday and guys let me tell you right now the price gouging is real so this event was supposed to start on friday so from friday to sunday the room that i booked was 333 per night when i called to add thursday thursday was 107 so i mean i don't know how to get away with that you can price college with gas but apparently you could do it with hotel rooms but you know it is what it is so anyway as i stated saturday is supposed to be like a a washout it looks like it's going to rain all day so clearly i'm in the middle of editing this video which means that everything already happened already so let me just give you a quick glimpse of what saturday looked like outside my hotel room window it is hailing out there had a couple of power surges here too i mean it's not a surprise i knew saturday was going to be a washout anyway but what is a surprise is the hail so yeah guys that was a that was a big surprise and it was unexpected and as i stated there were some power surges power went out came back on but you know it was no big deal i was inside i was dry my vehicle wasn't damaged the motorcycle was inside the trailer so that wasn't damaged so speaking of the motorcycle being in the trailer all right let's get this it's clean enough let's get this thing loaded up and let's get to florida all right guys i will say if you duck walk the motorcycle inside the trailer that's perfectly fine all right um i don't do that if the wheel chalk is right in the center of the trailer i'm gonna ride the motorcycle right up that ramp covering that rear brake throttle i'm in the friction zone boom it's that easy get it in that wheel chock make sure it's secure tie it down i tie it down in four different locations i took you guys advice so this time i did it so that i'm not compressing the front suspension i put the straps around the front fork and i was ready to go so i'm driving down this road and i'm saying why is waze making me get off 95 to get to destination daytona and that's 95 right there you see it's not moving and this road is this is on the side of 95. you see this is why you don't doubt waze don't doubt it and apparently i don't learn because i was doubting it and it doesn't do something for nothing there's a reason for it so again don't doubt waze thank you ways all right guys my first time to daytona i'm in my hotel room uh just give you guys a quick look i got my stuff all over the place this is where i'm gonna be plugging in a bunch of my stuff um the microphones the cameras stuff like that i always have to have a kitchen guys always have to have a kitchen because i want options you get one of these rooms where you just have maybe a microwave or just a mini fridge so even if you bring stuff in the room you know you're limited to what you could bring in if you have that little mini fridge but if i want to bring in stuff full size stuff i have a full-size fridge a full-size microwave and if i want to cook something i can do that as well and of course there's a dishwasher here and there's silverware and cups and everything i would need plates so that's that's that's what i like um and then we have the room here got my stuff laid out television in here as well bathroom setup so everything's good it's clean it's um you know uh i have no complaints right now all right actually it could be a little cleaner you know i looked at the top of the refrigerator i'll look at everything guys and this is yeah that's unacceptable all right but other than that i'm getting ready to change um i'm gonna go down take the motorcycle out of the trailer and take a ride to walmart and do some shopping because i have a kitchen so i can put some stuff in there so i don't have to worry about continental breakfast or anything like that i'll go buy some breakfast stuff and have it in my fridge all right guys see you at the trailer all right guys so i just have to unstrap her and take it down on the grass and i'm ready to go all right she's all unstrapped i'm gonna pull it out but first i'm gonna show you guys something all right so this guy right here see that motorcycle he's got that motorcycle plugged in now he came in from indiana and he forgot to put his motorcycle in transport mode so now his battery's dead so let's go over that quickly right now my motorcycle is in transport mode because i still have not started it from the time i put it in transport mode at the moment i do this now it's out of transport mode now if i want to put it back in transport mode i turn it off see that red light if you hold down both signal lights at the same time see it says active transport mode active so again once i do that it's out of transport mode so know that it's out of transport mode as soon as you turn power on now when you turn it off you're gonna see that red light come on now before that red light goes off if you just hold down both the signal lights that's how you put it in transport mode okay the other thing i lucked out with the parking i got here guys i bought this because i thought i was going to have to put it there you know when i called the hotel they told me that i was going to have to uh detach the trailer from the truck so you're gonna take up two parking spaces so i don't have to worry about that because they told me i can park here on the grass which is on the side street right it's a two-way street can we make a u-turn on this street of course we can because we know we went through that already and the hotel's right here it's the resident end okay so and then right here they're setting this up because this this hasn't officially started yet this starts tomorrow where you see those cones that's going to be for motorcycles to park all right so that's cool i'm not going to need it though because i'm parking in the garage because this truck's not leaving this location until sunday when i leave right so when i'm finished pull it right in saturday is supposed to be rain here so my bike will be dry inside of the trailer so again i'm parked and it's going to stay here until sunday okay all right guys i just wanted to share this with you i'm down here at bike week it's my first time ever being down here so this was yesterday i came into the harley-davidson dealership just to use the bathroom and um i said i wanted to share this with you guys because i thought it was funny so i walked in here i wanted to use the bathroom so there's the sign that says restrooms we have the bathroom right there then i decided all right let me just walk in here walk around and then i noticed there were two floors escalator going upstairs and stairs going upstairs so i said okay all right let me um let me just walk up there and walk around and then this happened guys wait a minute what's going on here what is he ringing that bell for did he go into this dealership to take a piss and buy a motorcycle let's find out all right guys we might have another impulse buy here i don't know i'm just going to run some numbers looking into a test bike or practice bike i should say all right it's ridiculous that i should be here for a practice but i should be at like honda or something to get one of their you know less expensive bikes to practice on but we'll see what the numbers look like see if it makes sense okay so he did the walk away go back see what he can do you guys know the deal this is the biggest harley davidson dealership i've ever been in i mean it's huge i don't know what made me go upstairs it's said use motorcycles so let me go upstairs and wow and i saw this road king nothing is appealing about the color to me but practice motorcycle i would try my best not to put a lot of stuff on it because that's just more money but we'll see and then i gotta run it by the wife too see if i can get approval i'm not worried about getting approved here i heard about getting approved there actually i'm not worried about that either so what they're telling me is that they don't do um test rides during bike week and my response is you want me to buy a motorcycle right i'm not buying a motorcycle until i can ride it so he said come back tomorrow about 9 00 a.m i'm gonna i'm gonna tell him i need him to let me know for sure if that's the case because you guys don't like getting up early so if i get up early and come here and they tell me i can't just ride that motorcycle i'm not gonna be happy about that all right so all right we'll see the good thing is i'm not pressed about any of this you know that's the good thing if the numbers don't look right to me all right no problem i have a motorcycle you know what i mean all right guys i just bought my new holly [Applause] thank you all right all right man enjoy that line where is it yeah guys that's what happened wasn't planning it but i figured i looked at it it's what i first learned how to ride on a road king and i said you know what if the numbers make sense maybe i'll do it but i wasn't even thinking about it then a troublemaker approached me his name is george that's george say hi to the people george george approached me and you know they were able to work something out for me give me a nice discount and we made it happen so this is gonna be the bike that i practice on the most i'll still practice on my cvo but here she is all right so all right guys i'm gonna pull it out take it for a ride and we'll see what happens from there [Music] all right thank you all right guys so here it is this is a 2019 road glide special um and you know i i was thinking about doing a getting a motorcycle to practice on my cvo is still a practice motorcycle because any motorcycle you ride is a practice motorcycle but again this is the motorcycle i learned the ride on the handlebars are high enough so that when i i don't have to make any modifications to it wow he left his motorcycle neutral come on dude look at that that's why you don't leave it in neutral don't park in neutral so when i turn the handlebars see i got plenty of room so um although it's a practice motorcycle i'm still going to you guys know how i feel about there's no led bulbs on it so i'm still going to have to do that change out the headlights the signal lights are up here on the mirrors i'm going to change that out i'm going to get some running lights some passing lights um i'm going to put fork lights on latch lights on it also came with a tour pack a chopped tour pack all right so you know that's that's good and i'm going to have to get a new windshield because this windshield is way too low way too i don't know what this is supposed to do but um other than that i'm going to have to find a motorcycle shock and the motorcycle shock that i have in my motorcycle car i'm sorry the chalk that i have in my trailer currently i'm gonna have to pick that one up and like reconfigure it so that i can fit two of these in my trailer on the way home because like i said guys i only came in here to use the bathroom you know it's funny how these things happen i called my wife of course the supervisor to clear clear this purchase of course she said honey whatever you want i love you so i never thought she would say anything different but always communicate with your that's my rule at least always communicate with my wife especially when it comes to a large purchase because she can have something in the works that she wants to bring up to me and if i just make a big purchase it could it could hinder that right so anyway let me give you guys a closer look okay as i stated road king [Music] special hey brother you're good [Music] i just want to shake your hand i watch your videos all the time oh thank you subscribers thank you one day i'm gonna come up and dive with you you want to be on yeah all right man i love it i would love it did you do too man all right so that was a subscriber he didn't want to be on he didn't want to be on camera i do like the all black it's going to be a lot easier to keep clean gonna have to change out that rear light of course as well oh and i forgot to tell you guys this hold on that's how many miles this motorcycle has on it [Applause] so again guys there's no reason not to buy this motorcycle the price was right there's only a 797 miles on it so it's all it's pretty it's pretty it's a brand new motorcycle pretty much whoever bought it brought it right back so all right i'm gonna go test ride it and um because they don't do they don't like i told you guys they don't do uh test rides during bike week so they give me 30 minutes or 30 miles to test ride and if i don't like it bring it back they'll rip up the paperwork give me my deposit back good to go all right so after the test ride i felt like the reach was too far on the handlebars so they brought it into the service department um i sat on the motorcycle they adjusted the handlebars to my liking and i was happy guys look at the size of this service department i mean i told you this dealership is huge but just look how large this is it's like it's actually on the second floor see these motorcycles they're going down a ramp back to the first floor and it's just it's laid out well it's clean it's bright just uh just phenomenal so i'm really impressed by it really impressed guys that's the coolest service area i ever saw it's big it's bright plenty of room so pretty impressive all right so they're going to give me a new mirror to replace one of them because it was kind of loose and that's it i'm gonna go back get my uh my cvo and uh go get something to eat i guess well actually i wanna go talk to the saddlemen people first [Music] now you notice none of them are turning their heads look at their heads [Music] now you'll notice that they're not turning their heads that's what i mean when i say you don't have to do it if you're proficient at this they have to look at the wheel in front of them to make sure they don't hit it so that's why they're not turning their heads looking where they want to go they don't want to hit the motorcycle in front of them all right guys now you saw the cone course out here all right these guys retired guys retired police uh motorcycle guys and uh they are the uh they're the guys that run this course right here ride masters usa matter of fact i'll get one of them to talk to you guys about it tell people your name sir sir bob savory ride masters usa okay you want to tell them a little bit about ride masters usa sure ride mass is a police motorcycle school that we make training available for the civilian writer okay we do one day classes and we have a popular six day motor skills class we do everything we do in a police motor school minus the law enforcement side of it it's about 50 55 hours of training okay and we do it right here with bruce rossmeier's harley davidson okay what's the price of that that's 9.95 for the six days okay 9.95 995 okay u.s currency u.s currency guys i said to myself i got to always say that because there's people watching this from all over the world and they might say 9.95 i'm taking the plane out and taking that course and they get here and it's almost a grand they're going to be sorry disappointed all right and you're not alone correct okay so we're going to talk somebody what's your name sir tommy johnson tommy if you care to tell the people what's your background with what all it is uh i was a motor officer for paterson pd for 25 years but you guys that don't know that's what those wings mean i started in nypd motor school in 94. maryland state police motor school master maryland state police motor school okay and now i train with bob all right that's outstanding thank you for your service thank you bob where do you work where did you work i retired from a new york city police yeah yeah and what'd you do there i was an emergency service cop in uh new york city okay all right so for you for you guys that don't know he said he was an emergency service other police departments call that swat okay and the saying in the nypd goes if you need help you call the police when the police needs help they call this guy esu and that could be that could be something from uh uh uh edp which is an emotionally disturbed person uh barricaded edp hostage situation all the way down to i lock myself out of my rmp or my police car they're going to come help us out right and let me tell you when you lock yourself out of the car you don't put that over the air it's embarrassing all right all right thanks thank you for your service as well and you're with these guys as well all right what's your name sir my name is mark hibschman i'm from york pennsylvania how are you today outstanding and what do you do what did you do well i've never been a policeman i'm a i'm a product of what these gentlemen do i'm a civilian motorcyclist i've rode my whole life i thought i knew how to ride until i started taking motorcycle riding classes and i've taken some training from some of the biggest names in the country including these guys uh what i've learned is my safety level has gone through the roof since i began taking formal training and it's the best thing i ever did i started taking classes 10 years ago and i've not stopped since i take at least one class every year absolutely and guys i'm glad that he said that because i tell you guys all the time don't think just because somebody's a motor officer that they're the best riders in sliced bread all right he has never been a motor officer but he trains he practices and you guys saw i recorded them going around there beautiful all right so thank you for your service because you're still giving back to people and you guys are saving lives you

me run my motorcycle through here and record it i already went through a little while ago dropped the bike once but like i said if you ain't dropping it you ain't riding it all right let's do it all right guys so i'm gonna run through this one thing i will say is i don't have to worry about being camera shy or getting nervous because of the camera this is what we do right all right let's do it [Music] so hi guys watch them yeah you did awesome thank you watch the camera guys see what i mean guys look at their heads nobody's looking where they're going for a matter of fact the guy in the front he's looking directly at the ground look at him i'm not telling you to do that i'm just saying this is making my point that you don't have to do it in order to do this if you really know how to do this it's less important i'll say that it's less important they're going side saddle side saddle both their feet are on one side of the motorcycle but those are they don't know what side saddle means but you'll notice one foot is still on that rear brake try to cover the rear brake all right guys that's what it's all about practice practice practice practice practice practice can't say it

broke on my motorcycle so it's in service so i can't go i actually bought another motorcycle that's in there i could take that but the windshield's too low so the spring broke i don't know why or how maybe from all the dragons well they got it in there you know it's a simple thing but this is why guys you always carry a bungee cord when you're riding subscribe bam all right see here subscribe people told you thank you very much for your subscribing man all right all right all right appreciate it thank you thank you hold up before i give you this sticker on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the best how would you rate your slow speed skills my slow speed skills seven that's excellent oh man excellent all right which of these stickers do you want oh i see you on that one all the time all right all right my wife made all of these man she's just she's outstanding man that's awesome brother all right man with this my bike's in the shop the kickstand i'm sorry yeah well just hold it up you're strong enough it's already in there i have run i'm gonna go walk around with tom okay man okay all right good to meet you pleasure get to it in time well we'll see i'm waiting for them to call me a guy who knows how to change that spring with the shoelace really he doesn't disconnect anything well hopefully they can get it done quick you never know as soon as you guys are mounting up you don't know bob solari by any chance do you um not personally but i know of him i know he's retired from the job and he uh he lives down here he runs a group called ride masters oh yeah i was just over there with him yeah i did that they they were over there on the side of hawley and i actually rode my motorcycle through the thing too hey let me do it just had a civilian uh skills competition yeah yeah last week i saw it on youtube so good stuff all right this is toes motorcycle all right guys so i got my motorcycle back the kickstand was broken i brought it in here to harley davidson for service they fixed the kickstand um so again guys the rule is you're supposed to always always carry a bungee cord with you because if your kickstand breaks now years ago when nice to ride the police motorcycles if the kickstand was down you couldn't start the motorcycle the motorcycle would shut off it was some kind of safety thing i see they did away with that and they probably did away with it for this reason but the point is carry a bungee cord so that you're not stranded okay bungee cord is the best thing zip ties are not good because if you're by yourself you need something that can stretch how's the bike how are you going to keep the bike up you know what i mean all right so right now we're getting ready to take a ride ride with traveling tall and some other people actually followers of him and i and i think it's something called the loop so my motorcycle came out just in time let's do it hi what's your name ed marcano ed mcconnell oh yes the name rings a girl where you from ed ah coming georgia okay let me tell you yeah absolutely yeah yeah and uh how long have you been down here i got here last night on a scale of one to ten didn't being the best how would you raise your slow speed skills right now after watching all your videos i'd say i'm about a four excellent that's excellent where'd you start it would i start out yeah about a two okay that's good that's the yeah from georgia i can practice a little more so yeah absolutely everything although it's a little bit cooler in cummings it's still not like new york or anything like that so you're good

man nice meeting you i want you to be a part of the family me and aaron all right and about 16 000 other people all right take care guys [Music] all right i'm here with uh what's your name sir jeffy shimon and jeffy your company is condor condo products yes okay what do you guys do we specialize in the support and transport of motorcycles we make everything for your trailer for your garage um all types of uh for your for your dirt bike uh for the pits for example if you're a racer so and so forth okay and you told me that you guys also do transport for harley davidson correct yeah we do we actually make all their equipment that they use in their semi trailers to transport uh to transport all their motorcycles from their manufacturing facilities to all their dealers okay and you guys know i made an impulse buy i wasn't planning on buying a motorcycle but i bought one somebody pointed me to condor i met jiffy and a stand-up guy he just told me i'm going to take care of you don't worry about it and he did so what i want to do now is let you show me some of your products absolutely okay which one you want to show me first one this guy's playing with why don't we start with the garage dolly first okay so basically what we have here is we have a garage dolly this particular device will accommodate every motorcycle and will stand up perfectly [Music] what's nice about this device is that you can extend it you can also fold it it'll accommodate to hold every motorcycle up to 1400 pounds when you fold it you can actually fold fold it in and hold the two sections and fold them against each other into one oh yes i see the hand correct it's also extendable as well what we do is we feature four casters and we feature four stops on all the ends okay now we've we've tried locking the wheels we've tried doing things like that but this is the bulletproof way of actually supporting the unit or making it stationary enough for any bike to go in and out of very in a very steady manner okay so there's a wheel chock on the front of it what's nice about it is it comes with a built-in condor wheel chock this particular wheel chock here will accommodate every bike up to a 26-inch wheel okay so my street glide no problem absolutely and all i have to do is lower this point and then ride the bike on it yeah absolutely all you got to do is it's basically here we can do a quick demo for you okay turn it all the way that's good and again this guy stand up guy really appreciate how he helped me out and this thing this actually will save space in your garage at first i thought it was ostentatious but really it doesn't take up any much any more room than the motorcycle would take up you know what's nice about it too is you can also trailer with it with a bike like this you could almost turn it sideways and place the bike perpendicular to the length of the trailer and what is this one called again this is called a uh the condor garage dolly the part number is called the part number is gd 3500. how much is it it is uh 545 okay what do you guys think about that price i mean that's pretty good i see him rolling it off [Music] look at that right in that is nice that is nice and that's all you have to do so what's nice about this device is it'll hold any bike upright and you'll just release the flip the plungers and be able to move it around and store it if you need to and it's just like the the smaller wheel chuck too as far as the adjustments for the wheels yes as a matter of fact let's go ahead and look at that as well okay it's just like the pit stop yes okay so uh this is our condor pit stop it works on every motorcycle as well except this particular model can be used freestanding in the garage like this or you could trailer with it and here's how you do that if you notice there's a plate on the platform which is simulating a trailer right now this plate is the adapter kit for your trailer this is how it attaches like this come in jeffy how many follow you around there you go and once attached load your bike in and what we do is let's let's tie it down guys what we do is you can use as many tie downs as you like but with our devices you really don't need more than two especially when you secure a bike in this manner two tie-downs attached to the back or middle loading the bike slightly forward will produce excellent lateral support and will not overload your suspension either and the best part about it is you can release your bike any which way you like without ever worrying about your bike falling we have a couple of bottles here we have the pit stop and then we also have the trailer only model which is on this platform what's nice about them is that they both work on every motorcycle both attach and detach like this over here like the pit stop the best part about the pitstop is they could use a free standing in the garage where the trailer only has to be attached can you talk to me about the um what is this thing called again the trailer adapter the adapter kit yeah well what's nice about the adapter kit is that once you install it all you need to do is attach or detach the pit stop the pit stop has two shoulder bolts that utilize the key ways and stop stop the stop the pit stop itself for moving forward awesome and guys i'm gonna go over that when i do the video when i get home as far as the installation with that uh the trailer adapter trailer adapter kit yes i'm gonna go over that as well all right listen i appreciate it is there anything else you want to show me here thank you robert for your time thank you by the way we make a full line of uh tie downs we make a full line of e-track e-track adapters okay uh we make we make a lot of other products too that we don't that are not consumer ready okay uh we also have unlimited amounts of products on our on our website and they all pertain to support and transport of motorcycles and power sports vehicles okay what's that website the website is condor hyphenlift.com that's condor dashlift.com okay and you guys are out here destination daytona how long are you going to be out here we will be out here until uh a week from today okay all right guys so are we from today so you're here for the whole the long haul that's correct okay guys harley-davidson is right in front of me if i throw a rock i can hit it the condor tint is right there right where you see the sign that says do not enter you come in here guys the products are great i'm already telling you guys that i love the product that jeffy provided for me and i can't wait to actually get home and give you guys an in-depth review on it all right all right thank you robert thank you all right guys so i'm getting ready to pack up head back home oh it's a beautiful day it's it's really hard for me to leave because it's a nice it's cool it's not too hot oh it's just perfect so that wheel chock that jiffy was nice enough to provide to me i've already installed it as i said before i'll do a separate video on that um and i did something so stupid guys let me show you something so i misunderstood something that uh that he told me when he was first giving me this wheel chalk and what he told me was i'm sorry for shooting in the sun he told me that when you put the when you put this motorcycle in the wheel chock all you have to do is use two straps you don't need four straps two straps at the back so what my dumb ass did is i put two straps in the back over here and over there and you know it i actually felt it too and i still kept it moving and i pulled the motorcycle away from the wheelchair now i did that just for the ride from my hotel over here to destination um daytona and when i came here and went in the back and opened up the back door that motorcycle was leaning on that motorcycle so it fell on the motorcycle and the reason it fell is because i put the strap so that it's actually pulling the motorcycle away from the wheel track so stupid so anyway this is where it hit you know and it's and i'm happy about that too guys all it hit was the emblem like it didn't hit the tank the emblem i'm not worried about you know this i can i can actually replace the emblem if i really care which i don't because this is fine knowing me i'll still replace it now on this motorcycle and here's the funny thing too i said i was going to take the saddlebag off but it's plenty of room so i didn't and here's the damage on the new motorcycle right there and right here all right am i mad at myself now i'm annoyed that's it slightly annoyed learning experience remember every time you make a mistake in life that's just one thing you check off that you'll check for the next time as long as you learn from your mistakes there's nothing wrong with them okay the bike still runs i'm still blessed enough to have it and now this new one so am i gonna sweat a little small scratch on the saddle bag no not in the slightest okay all right so let me get this thing loaded up and strap it properly now i already put the two straps right here on the sides of the fork you know because it's not going to be a lot of room to be moving around in there so i got to have some things already kind of preset so i can just hook it up click click click and get out of here all right let me hook that up all right guys what i will tell you is this is one of the exceptions to duck walking your motorcycle you can duck walk your motorcycle up the ramp into the trailer all right i think that's common sense now what i will say is when i have the wheel chock right in the middle i don't duck walk it in i ride it straight in one more thing i want to show you guys so if you're thinking about buying a trailer you see these things you definitely want to have these all right it helps out in a couple of ways firstly it's going to reduce the tongue weight the stress on the tongue when you have something heavy coming off the back of the trailer all right because you know the front's going to move up this is going to stabilize it and secondly if you're leaving something in this trailer heavy not that i ever think it would tilt in one way or the other but this is going to ensure that it doesn't tilt backwards you understand what i'm saying so i'm gonna go put the other side down and do i think i really need that no but if it's if it's sometimes things are not a problem until they're a problem and if you're constantly doing something and next thing you know you know so if if i was told it was going to relieve the stress on the tongue so if that's all i have to do is put those two things down i'll just put them down all right let's get this thing in the in the trailer so i can be on my way i know guys my highway pegs they don't stay up i'm gonna have to fix that when i get home i gotta add another d-ring to them all right guys and that's that's it that's in so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna put a towel over here ah just until i finish doing what i'm doing with the setup and then i can remove that because it's not going to move after that but the other motorcycle you can see there's plenty of room in there you know first i thought i was going to have to like take off you know saddle bags and stuff but not necessary at all plenty of room not a tight squeeze at all and you can see that this motorcycle right here that's not going anywhere this one right now is just in the wheel chock so i'm going to get these straps on i have to go to the front of the trailer and do it well actually not in the front on the side i'm going to have to squeeze through there as well okay guys as i said before live and learn so now oh straps everywhere now this is strapped properly this one nice and taut strap to the front fork make sure that's secured and it is and then this strap which condor also provided me that guy the guy jiffy from condor to the fork to here make sure that's secure it is so now the straps are actually pulling the motorcycle into the real chuck so much better i'm not concerned now now now guys i'm not concerned about the motorcycle falling onto the other one actually have it set up properly so let's give it a shake let's shake rattle and roll actually let me do it from the back so let me actually i can fit through here move that highway peg i'm not that fat yet oh yeah nice and easy okay so now yeah she's not going anywhere all right so the girls are packed up let's head home georgia so i do want to say bike week was uh for me it was my first bike week and it was a good time you know the highlight of bike week to me was the uh the question and answer session that i had with um traveling tall with a lot of my my subscribers as well as his the q a that we had you know that was so much fun to me to be able to just answer people's questions and just show you guys you know who we are and a little bit about us you know we kind of share that on camera already anyway but just in a different environment a different atmosphere with a different purpose okay so i that was my highlight that's my high point for um for this bike week i enjoy riding around and seeing the crowds that's always fun as well and talking to different vendors and you know the impulse buy there it is yeah it is what it is but i know i'm gonna have to it's a lot of stuff i'm gonna have to do to that thing but we'll talk about that another time time to hit the road all right guys if you like this video like subscribe and share please alright and if you want to be notified of future videos that i put out hit that notification bell we're going to get back into the swing of things practice session number 13 coming up on the 14th if you're still not on the list and you want to come out and practice with me go to the to the description section in this video and go down to practice session it's going to tell you everything you need to know on how to get on the list and that's how you'll find out when there are practice sessions all right guys all right this is it for me practice practice practice guy oh one more thing i want to share with you guys i can't believe i almost forgot this all right one more thing i'm going to share with you guys and as i always say i'm never preaching to anyone i'm never telling telling anyone what to do because we're all adults and at the end of the day you're going to do what you want to do anyway so we know that i don't know if everyone saw actually i know for a fact everyone did not see the q and a that i had last night with traveling tall um and again shout out to traveling tall that was his idea so i want to thank him for that it was a great idea he's a he's a youtuber you know you could tell a seasoned youtuber because they're always thinking about content so that was a good idea and i want to thank santos for he was the one he was the moderator the partial impartial moderator um but we were talking at one point about somebody asked a question about um is it a false sense of security to wear a full face helmet and um you know my response you guys can look at the video and see what my response was for that but what i am going to say is we know that every time we get on a motorcycle we're taking a chance period i don't care what kind of gear you have on when you get on the motorcycle you're taking the chance and of course the less gear you put on the more of a chance you're taking out of all the things that you want to protect your head is the most important thing so of course here in florida there's no helmet law now i don't need a law to to to let me know that it's unsafe for me on a motorcycle without a helmet because anything could happen i don't care how good a variety you are something can happen that is not your fault it could be mechanical or it could be some other idiot on the road and once you fall there's not a lot of control that you're going to have on how your head bobs and dips it just doesn't work like that i'm telling you guys from experience not from it happening to me but from responding to numerous accidents in cars and in motorcycles that it is not you can't control what's gonna happen to your body once force is actually against it okay so the story i'm gonna tell you guys is when i parked at my hotel when i first got here there's a guy that parked this trailer right behind mine guy from illinois and um i noticed that guys i noticed everything well i noticed a lot of things i'm not gonna say i noticed everything but it's very rare that things get by me i noticed that his pickup truck was detached from his trailer for like two days i didn't see the pickup truck and i thought that was odd but i did see his motorcycle parked in front of the hotel so to make a long story longer today i'm packing up the the trailer and i see him and the guy that he was with i see his arm in a sling so i say to him hey you know what happened to your buddy he goes ah he was coming into the parking lot of the hotel he hit the curb he fell off his motorcycle he smashed his head split it open he had to get 10 stitches um clearly his arm is messed up i didn't ask him if it was broken broken or not but the biggest part was i didn't i asked it just to ask because i already knew the answer i said did i ask the guy are you okay yeah yeah now i said did you have a helmet on no and i knew you didn't have a helmet on because if you have a helmet on you're not going to split your head open right this wasn't on the highway or anything although i see people out here on the highway at speed exceeding speed limits no helmet you know and again we're all going to do what we're going to do you want to take those chances that's great but my advice is going to be please now if you're going from point a to point b in a parking lot or something fine i ride around my subdivision sometimes no helmet no big deal am i taking a chance then absolutely but your chances of injury or death increase the faster you go the more people that are around you all right okay so and the guy that the guy that was not injured he's upset because that was his second bike that he gave this guy permission to ride um and he wrecked his bike you know so he's hurt but he's okay now so now this guy said they were going to stay for the whole week and now he said you know we're just going to go home now because i didn't come here to ride by myself this guy's got one arm now so he can't ride anymore and the bike's damaged all right so of course i reached into my pocket and i gave them my card i said listen you and your buddy check out my youtube channel if that guy was practicing if that guy was the boss of his motorcycle or he if he was on the path to being the boss of his motorcycle there's less of a chance that this would have happened all right guys all right so i just wanted to share that with you guys i'm going home i love you guys thank you again for everything you do practice practice practice practice practice practice practice preload and keep it loaded and practice because practice breeds confidence guys and a confident rider is a safer rider until next time alright guys i hope you enjoyed the video this is just a quick ride video me passing the daytona speedway and later on riding on the loop myself traveling tall santos rick and perry and i think we
