"Ombra mai fu" as "Handel's finest aria?" It's a reasonable choice and it fits the quirky nature of the website. Even though the piece is marked "larghetto" it's often called Handel's Largo. It's sung by an eccentric character to a tree, praising the shade it casts. And even though it's from a secular opera, the "Largo" has been taken over by church organists and assigned quasi-religious meaning on no basis whatsoever. Ok, back to motorcycles--another informative and entertaining video, FortNine. Thanks! I might have to try to footpegs on my ST1100.
😂😂🤣
Many people depend on LTworlds for their income, and and the support from viewers make this possible. However, I can’t with a clear conscience use a channel that continues to platform fake news and seditionist agendas. I will therefor delete the App and only return once LTworlds has deplatformed DT and Co.
Interesting. As a 43 year old, I still tour the country on my ninja 636. I have a custom Corbin seat that makes all the difference. I don't see how the Wild A$$ would work being so soft.
Great stuff as usual...like the bit o classical too, good man 😊
Ryan- Trying to get a sketch I did of you to you. I've been doing caricatures my whole life. FORTNINE suggested this approach to reach you. Lmk-Rogisan.
Huh, I never knew I needed a cramp buster, but it's only 12 bucks so I'm not sure why I DON'T have one already.
Cramp buster. $12. One of my favs.
I tried to do a long haul once. It was mostly highway on my fully stock Hyosung GV 250. My legs were exhausted after fighting the ~75 mph wind for only about 1 hour. What am I doing wrong? I thought it was the lack of leg ferrings, but Ryan doesn't have ferrings protecting his legs..
6:10 give those chairs some saddle soap (use it right!) and a coat of leather oil, you'll thank yourself. If you want to get real wild, make a runny paste out of turpentine and beeswax, to buff as a light polish.
I keep the cramp buster under my seat on my 07 DL650.
I found the Air Hawk seat pad works very well with just a small puff of air. I bought mine from FortNine. Only problem is it has a red streak down the middle, drawing attention not to the beautiful lines of your bike, but to the seat pad. I reapply black marker on it from time to time. It also is not cheap but it is tough and well made.
"Nice cavity down the middle for my. . .Nuts, it's going to be cold tomorrow"
Your fav four macbooks 😂
Amount of Ian Post's music in your reviews makes me happy :)
6:36 Hmm like a wee footboard so to speak
Almost every rider I know updates windshield, seats and bar risers(some do) for long distance riding. Why don't the manufacturers offer these items at the time of sale instead of the universal parts that are in the bikes? Taller shield for taller riders, shorter shield for shorter people..can't be much difference in initial cost.
FortNine: My decades-long problem doesn't have to be yours; try a product called Nizoral and see and feel the difference!
Heated handlebars
Look up Kuryakyn swingwing pegs. They're considered mini-floorboards but part of them rotate up to become highway pegs
Excellent, I LOVE your videos. Do you do StandUp Comedy?
Kardashien ... spelling... gel pad inserts lol I’m 63 yr old biker choked on my coffee,, great info superb humour life saving channel this guy should be on tv
Nuts that was funny! ^^
The secret to motorcycle comfort: Goldwing
The crampbuster also helps smooth out twitchy throttles.
Or instead of throwing all that money for plastic bags and stuffs, buy a Gold Wing?
That bags perfect....almost, but it's not waterproof. Because for some reason luggage for motorcycles hasn't been updated for rain....the thing that happens outside...where we drive.
(4:17) wait wait wait......the pockets have pockets? Thats gucci level we're talking about
Throttle assist is a must-have for highway commuters! I travel 70km Monday-Friday and the throttle assist works wonders when I’m on the highway.
"livestock enthusiasts" - lol
Now that....was funny, Schitz Creek funny....”nuts it’s supposed to be cold outside tomorrow” well done my friend...
I just got a f750 gs and the Clip on wind deflector wouldn’t work, stock screen is too small. I’m 5’7. What’s my best aftermarket option? Please help
I love this guy!😅👍
*Watches all of this junk going on a sport bike.* *Rides away laughing in Goldwing*
Awesome! Love your vids man they are so entertaining and informative. Cannot wait to get my first bike, I'm going to go for the Suzuki TU250x
I am not a fan of road trips on a bike! To many idiots on the interstate and weather is to bi polar any more so I use a big nice rental car wi th captain chairs and 300hp for road trips then use bikes for quick trips to town and back in 20 minutes instead of the hour in the car! But any further then that I want a big comfy chair and some steel to keep me rolling a cage!
Can i put these on my cbr1000rr?😅
Anyone that works in disability knows that $200 for what's basically a watered-down roho is not terrible!
Be careful with the Crampbuster while applying the front break
Could you do a video of comforts mods for two up on a “non couch... ups...cruiser” motorcycle? Thanks!
I absolutely love my cramp buster. Inhad to vomit my rides Ronan hour or less, formal few years, due to carpal tunnel syndrome, and my hands either hurting, or going numb. With one of our bikes, the 90 VT 1100, thenseat padding left something to be desired, especially the pinion pad. Got a gel pad set, and it helped. Replacing the rear shocks, as they had an tendency to bottom.out on bumps, helper more, but honestly, if the factory seat is nearing the end of its life, replace it with a better one. Went to a Mustang seat, and it is almost as comfortable as the seat on my Goldwing now. Best comfort tip though, is this. Buy a bike that firs you, in the first place, and spend your money on the right add ons.
Today I learnt that Handel did write numerous arias (it's true, I checked).
Buy a bike they said, it’ll be cheap fun they said, I’m kidding I’m the one who says that
Awesome videos! Nice script, good tempo, and a laugh here and there. Plus, very good information. Thanks!
These aerofoils sell for £20 on eBay.....
Add to that list grip puppies....foam sleeves that make long rides vibe free and comfy. Buy the gsa and get hard luggage. You have longer travel suspension on that and a smoother ride as well as a better standard screen. Standard gsa seat is also super comfy on long haul rides. Saddleman saddles also great but pricey as are any number of alternatives...get std seat firmed up by refoaming if needed. Thats it...thats all you need for the best long haul bike in creation.
All items at so much lower price pn aliexpress. Gas rest is just 1 dollar etc
“Even the pockets have pockets” Whoa man, We’re getting into some pretty bougie sh*t right here
For your seat: Airhawk. From the same company that makes wheelchair seat pads. Did 12 hours on one of these a few years back. Cheaper too...
Excellent narration!
Might aswell buy a car🤔
Just get corbin seats instead of the gel bags you won't regret them
This is one of the most quality channels imho
Wild ass is the best $250 you’ll ever spend!!! I have 40,000 miles on mine and wouldn’t have survived without it... also add the Alaska leather sheepskin and you are set for 500 mile days!
Hey Ryan, I love your channel. Entertaining and informative but you gave me a bum steer on this one.... I ordered the Saddlemen TS1450R you reviewed since we have the same bike, F800GSA, but it doesn’t fit. The BMW OEM seat is too wide. I am exchanging it for the Saddlemen TS1620S which should fit our wider seats much better. Same great design and quality, and price, $115, only slightly larger. Still love your videos! Keep ‘em coming! Thanks!
Alaska Leather makes several sheepskin seat pad options for a lot less than the wild ass air gel pad. I bought their cheapest one ($60) several years and thousands of miles ago. It's been great. It's comfy, thin, breathable, surprisingly water-resistant, and doesn't get hot even when parked in direct sunlight. My dad got an air pad for his bike, but didn't like it at all.
The crampbuster (or throttle rocker) is almost a necessity for me on any highway trips. I didn't realize how 'handy' it was until I borrowed a bike without one. Love the videos Ryan; Thanks for the tips!
"A comfortable cavity for my ummm...... nuts is supposed to be cold tomorrow." Haha that's the best line I love it. Ryan you are hilarious man.
Hammerfoot that was laugh out loud!
Everything is done now. Just a bike is missing
Wild Ass. What a great name for that gel pad.
Handerl - Serse - Ombra mai fu by the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, is the song at the end, if anyone is wondering. :)
Just spend $1500 and get an old Goldwing if you want to tour comfortably on a budget
With prices and all in your videos.. you add a lot of value to your audience ... #fistbumps
250$ for an ass pad, i can get a working 125cc moped for 300$ here
Thank you for reminding me to get a cramp buster. A friend told me they are a hand saver.
2020
best way to be comfy on a long ride.. get a hayabusa, you will get where your going so fast you won"t have time to be uncomfortable!!!
OR you can just get a Gold Wing. 😎, Actually pretty much all those ideas are spot on. I have a real backrest on my bike, a throttle buster, highway pegs to stretch out and an AirHawk Seat Cushion.
Damm! I now have to get some Louis Vuitton.
skwoosh sells a seat pad for much less and it works great
Ombra Mai Fu
Pro Tipp if you feel like you need any of those: Buy a car and leave riding motorcycles to everyone who is not a sissie.
When did Mr. Bean have a kid?
Insane. Attach a motorcycle moniker to an item and it’s good for another 200% price increase.
Hey Ryan! What's that soft pannier you have (at 3:30)? :-) Thanks!
Throttle control? Get a BMW R1200 GSA LC. It has real cruise control.
The reason why most of the mods he suggests are super expensive is because he's paid to promote them. And someone selling a $10 item doesn't need heavy advertising. It's sad that we live in a world where a completely outrageously expensive item can make a company rich just by ripping off a few people. That's why they put so much money into advertising, because every sale means so much more. Like you don't need a large customer base when your profit margin is 95%.
I had a nice Yamaha 500 which I planned to take on a 750 mile round trip. The seat was quite firm and thought a handle bar windshield would be helpful. I rode over to the local Yamaha shop. I told the parts guy what I had in mind. i walked out with a seat pad similar to what you had. I also purchased the throttle pad and a after market fiberglass frame mounted fairing similar to the Vetter. With the bike stock, anything more than 2 hours would be more than you want to ride. Adding these products made a night and day difference. On the trip, when I reached the halfway point and back home, I felt like I could have added another 100 miles each way without a problem
I am not paying over 50 dollars for a fucking bag
Ryan, you are so funny.... I enjoy your videos if for no other reason than to have a good laugh🤓
The line about "your best four Macbooks" got me.
my car still the most comfortable for long distance.. comfy seats, cruise control, air conditionner, a ton of space cargo, noise free and 700km range tank :)
That little clip on wind deflector, 19bucks from Ebay, I have noticed they have skyrocketed to 29 dearest dollars. Need a crude "cruise control"?, black o-rings between the grip flange and controls, works like a champ.
your humour definitely rules... and your videos are really informative, keep it up! but that's not ostrich leather :)
Get a stock seat from a Honda Shadow. Now THAT is comfort
is this the son of doug demuro
So sad he didnt mention rubber band cruise control
midlife crisis motorcycle buying is just adults remembering they're still kids inside
just remember to take off your cramp buster when you go off road! Lol bad memories on hike up a hill
Great vids, great job and I enjoy watching them!
The Crampbuster did not include the sleeve, and is wayyyy too small a circumference to fit my grips, sadly.
WTF i just ordered a windshield extender for $20.63 from aliexpress including shipping...
The Kick Ass has saved my "dockey" on Iron Ass rides on my Indian for almost 100,000 MILES! NO joke! I love it!!! 🤣 My only question is, with the wider foot pegs (with no teeth) how well will I be able to do off-roading on my DRZ400? Thanks, as always, Ryan. Charlie in Tennessee, USA!
even pockets have pockets hahahahaha
padded cycling shorts are a cheap way to delay the numb bum
Just get a car
Great advice except the seat cushion. I bought one and that product is garbage. It is exactly what it is, sitting on an unsteady surface like a mini version of an inflatable exercise ball. Your ass shifts around a bit to where it makes for an unsettling ride changing the dynamics of the ride position.
Some great ideas to add comfort to your ride as well as remove bulk from your wallet. 🥴
Buy a bike made for the road and not the track. You won't have to spend money on that crap.
The "thanks for watching" at the end is just so genuine. Makes you want to come back and watch more
