How RyanF9 became a YouTuber at fortnine.ca

[@MoneybagsUkulele]

I don't think art history was wasted on you. Your videos are masterpieces.

[@FortNine]

Our motovlog gear setup: Scorpion EXO-T510 Nexus Helmet: frt9.co/yf6cqh Icon 1000 Basehawk Jacket: frt9.co/8qm98v Icon Hooligan Denim Pants: frt9.co/cx5eit Icon Super Duty 4 Boots: frt9.co/a4lza8 Scorpion Klaw II Gloves: frt9.co/dpf7by

[@KarimFawzy10]

But Ryan is clearly wearing a scorpion helmet in the shots early in the video ...

[@FortNine]

Whoops! RyanF9 is accumulating too much gear. Great problem to have haha. ~ NeilF9

[@KarimFawzy10]

FortNine haha indeed, one I wish I had!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Loved this man :)

[@christianhodges685]

It's funny to see your comment here because I remember loving your video on how worthless the motorcycle journalism industry has become haha

[@macthemec]

I think you guys should do a shadetree/ryan F9 video!

[@spacecoyote55]

I love Steve. His edits make me chuckle.

[@thetessellater9163]

And now?

[@WatanabeNoTsuna.]

What made you change your mind? 😂

[@misterwonka8001]

Steve's editing is great. And it works so well with your writing it's a joy to watch. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@garygag739]

Oh shit man that's the quietest sounding most boring bike that I've had the misfortune of seeing of late but saying that it looks as though it is quite comfortable to ride but as it is so quite I would be a little afraid of falling asleep. Why can't these manufacturers put some kick arse rebellion back in bike design before petrol engines are band from our roads for ever. The thought of having to ride around on a hair dryer really makes me feel sad inside.

[@bobf43ca]

Ryan is "The Man". One of the reasons I buy product at Fort 9, because of his honest opinion, and his humor. Never change, Ryan.

[@davidtennyson4908]

If you ever lose your left hand, you won't be able to say a word. The folks in oncoming traffic are still wondering how you know them. Just found your channel (suggestion from other Canadian moto junkie) and really enjoy the content. Informative and entertaining.

[@ACoustaDC]

They made a wise choice in you Ryan... I love seeing someone your age so intelligent. Your reviews are some of the best I have seen regardless of the product.

[@deepsouthNZ]

You're doing a very fine job of these reviews mate, well done I'm always entertained and am looking forward to the next one.Thanks for telling something about yourself.

[@dyanetti]

I grew up in the near vicinity of this shoot - basically shot between Collins Bay (the marina he points at is where my dad bought my first ATV) - the west end of Kingston - through Millhaven, Bath (passed by the Tragically Hip's Bathouse studio), Conway, Adolphustown and he would have been nearing the Glenora Ferry at the end of the shoot. Churches and corners remind me of the specific locations where I spun out (cars) in different snowstorms and driving mistakes. The long view of Amhurst Island, and Adolphus Reach across to Prince Edward County - the opening of the Bay of Quinte brings back my loyalist roots. It was quite interesting that the editing and jumpcuts chronologically 'moved' us back and forth down that stretch of road as they patched together the conversation.

[@paulrenny8388]

I used to buy stuff from Canada's Motorcycle. In fact it is still bookmarked as such in my browser. However, being in the Quebec Townships and very close to the US border, I found I was buying most stuff from Revzilla, thanks to Anthony's " Watch decide and ride" videos. But since re branding to Fortnine and with all of Ryan's videos, I am buying my most of my stuff here now. In fact UPS is on its way to my door as I write this! Good work and fantastic production quality. Almost a million subscribers, awesome!

[@ruenjou]

We need more real motorcycle journalists like Ryan

[@HsNiccoTutorial]

we need more ̶m̶o̶t̶o̶r̶c̶y̶c̶l̶e̶ journalist like Ryan :D

[@SkyyThePuffin]

"Steve, make this downshift sounds awesome" *scatman* Almost choked on my drink, wow.

[@Wat3va]

One year later, same... :P

[@driftingastronaut]

Watching a youtuber personally vlog who they are is so important, sets apart a corperate channel and a channel with personality .

[@DAVIDTORRESANI]

Every dang video is 5 yrs ago! Lol Ryan... I need a new video . I really thought this was Ryan's company. He has the brains and swag to look like it plus he's really Likable. Like if Tom Hanks had balls. If john wick and tom hanks had a love child? You get Ryan. Lol what a dream job. I appreciate Ryan on the payroll og Fortnine

[@jedcook875]

Just stumbled across this vid after a few years of watching your videos off and on. Now I’m hooked. Good on ya’ man. Much motorcycle love from Colorado, Ryan. Ride on!

[@numbone2945]

I like to think that, inevitably, over time, Ryan will be so popular, (and so respected), that the motorcycle manufacturers will be bending over to get him to review their bikes. I like commas.

[@ShR33k]

Bonus points for Steve and using Scatman John right at the end!

[@JDMHero47]

This is why I love F9 reviews, just wish you guys had new content every day if possible =)

[@erikscribner970]

Super late to this video but glad to see you enjoying the shores of Lake Ontario near my hometown!

[@Mozart1810]

Hi Ryan, I'm watching your videos since the very beginning and you remind me of a legendary trio of the car world, Jeremy, James and Richard. Keep it going! Nice job

[@jamesbatten6609]

Your the best Ryan ,you make me smile ,informative and extremely entertaining ,keep it up. Be safe 😀

[@churchofmarcus]

Fortnine is definitely a a better name.

[@breakwood8531]

It’s because of you I shop at Fortnine. You’re the best reviewer out there and I hope it never ends :p

[@imtiajahmed7596]

Physics and Art= an artistic way of describing machines!

[@oscartravis5740]

For basically just a potted vlog about your CV, this was bloody interesting :-)

[@AussieDetails]

I have always enjoyed your rants and reviews. Nice peek into your background. Thanks again!

[@windy-sj8ix]

Steve did a great job for the downshift sound in the end :D

[@690_5]

Wow, Ryan had an XV20 Camry like mine. Similar deal, I put the beat on it on the gravel roads, then got my bike license.

[@roscoeskipper7846]

Here in the States I can’t order anything from Fortnine, so lots of lost revenue there, so not sure why I can see these videos, but I and so many I know love Fortnine reviews and between Fortnine and Revzilla we all have a better sense of products out there, much better than we used to know about things when we would go into the local bike store. I miss having a lot of stores around, but they could have done all this, and they didn’t. The stores here in the Bay Area, CA were all terrible except for maybe Cycle World still one could not get comprehensive notions about products. Fortnine has contributed a ton to our collective knowledge, I hope they can start moving products here in the States

[@steve_kamrad5216]

*walks into room containing Ryan*. "Hey Ryan FortNine is here." - Me

[@DanielMores]

Hilarious!! It's somehow satisfying to hear that you're doing something you love, and one realizes that because you love it you're good at it. Rarely is a review, a rant, or a top5 as fun and informative as yours are! You deserve a much bigger audience!

[@concernedcanadian8460]

Awesome to have a motorcycle business like fortnine in Canada!

[@DanielleWhite]

Nice Scatman rif! Snowmobiles, my first powersport love. I was a Pennsylvania dairy farm kid. We had an old John Deere snowmobile. It was horrible - was difficult to keep running, etc. However, I got it running a few times and loved it. It was the late 1980s and brands like Arctic Cat were advertising. I wanted one but dad wasn't buying it. I also pushed for a dirt bike but that went just as far. Dad's view was we could pay for a lot of equipment repairs and upgrades for that. He wasn't wrong. As a result my entry was street.

[@weiner127]

Fuuny story...heading to Miramichi NB last week...on my FORTNINE.CA tires and a call came in on my new FORTNINE.CA Sena headset so I'm rolling along talking for abit....next stop my buddy rolls up and says "U alright dude...thought were taking a fucking stroke!!" Guess while I was chatting my arms were going....sound familiar? Then he says "you're like the wife...strap her arms to her side and she'd never say a fucking thing!" Funny but true and the first thing I thought of watching this vid. Great little history lesson...answers some questions that never get asked and explains alot when it comes to you. Keep the content flowing Ryan...get to the east coast!

[@PortabalBen]

Don't normally comment, but those MSN sounds got me all nostalgic

[@capitaldar01]

Saskatchewan...... I KNEW IT! I watched my first FortNine video a week ago and halfway thru the video I thought this guy has a hint of the sound and mannerisms of a university educated Saskatchewanigan. I was half right. I love your videos, I like that an unneeded opinion is not given, just the facts. Ride and let ride.

[@CharlesEtienneAuger]

Ah, the vlogger's dream: Get someone else to edit for you...

[@FarmerFpv]

I just subscribed after watching this video and listening to your story, you literally made it to the top of my list!

[@davidd3063]

Please keep doing videos..they are amazing

[@youcanthide004]

Cool little impromptu video. Thanks Ryan

[@questioner1596]

I like that the music in these old videos sounds like Flight of the Conchords' opening theme.

[@RossMalagarie]

After market pipes? Big air intake? Fuel mixture reprogram? That might help with sound. I hate stock pipes because I like the throaty louder, (not super loud) rhythm of an after market pipe.

[@IdFightMyDad]

Cormorant. One of my favorite varieties of water fowl.

[@jph1150]

Damn... I had this bike as a loaner a few weeks ago... fell on this and Ryan resumes exactly everything I experienced with the bike in the first two minutes of the video!

[@fototropism]

Hey man, thanks for sharing. love the videos and its great to have you just putting yourself out there.

[@EdwardHester3615]

glad he made this video..didn't luke him before i watched this

[@thomaslarson6104]

Lost my shit at the desiigner lmao

[@AndrewJaws]

tee jay "ah that sounds great!" Hahaha

[@leftcoaster67]

BTW FortNine is awesome. Sounds like a great company. Thanks for keeping up the good work.

[@superman242242]

That ending shift was the greatest thing ever haha

[@uncopino]

this is hilarious! even your reviews and top fives... you’re a comedian at heart. you can vlog about anything you’re interested in because you can make it interesting and fun. for sure fort9 lets you say anything! you’re the reason of their views and a big part of their sales

[@lolipoper45]

So good to hear, you stalled this bike a lot, I am currently getting my motorcycle-license on it, and I am stalling it at least once, when we move into traffic.

[@anonymousdrft]

Steves got those downshifts sounding so good. I went back at least 10 times to hear it over 🤣

[@peterjensen6844]

Art History and Physics. You combined them for the more recent "Why People Buy Harleys" video...

[@davidjhannington9406]

Scatman for the downshift has me crying with laughter. Ryan and Steve, you guys are amazing

[@blammela]

Always Ryan F9 in our hearts ❤️ Really enjoyed getting to know the man himself

[@kevinhumphrey4072]

That MSN notification message gave me flashbacks.

[@vnm_8945]

FortNine so cool, I've got to praise Steve, too! :))

[@OscarDiaz-mx1qu]

Ryan cheers from Colombia man, you have my dream job, i enjoy a lot your vídeos And product reviews, keep it up nice work!!!

[@mattwest7593]

When are you going to review the Royal Enfield Himalayan? I'm really wondering about the 4/6.I've heard the ones before that are pretty bad, but we don't get those here in North America anyways from my understanding. Very new rider, looking for something easy versatile and comfortable.

[@Aubatron]

You're not lucky to be with Fortnine, Fortnine is lucky to have you. Honestly, I started using Fortnine and buying crap from the site after binge watching your videos after just getting into duel sports. Awesome personality. Keep it up and don't ever let anyone tell you what to say about a product.

[@daphnedevi]

FortNine... is that a reference to the forty ninth parallel... a la Canada?

[@lassleering7403]

Thanks for crapping on my dream bike so elegantly hahaha

[@neesay93]

Hey Ryan, I own a TVS Apache 200. It sounds exactly the same as the G310R

[@winteronice]

Thank you Steve!

[@vagabondjay7281]

Ryan and Steve make such awesome content.

[@motordemic]

Anyone else get that feeling that they really want to support a KZbinr? Like we watch these videos for absolutely nothing...it's free. If you want to support and appreciate the Fortnine either go for Patreon or order gear from them. Sadly they only ship to Canada which is a bummer cause I wanted to order from them for support 😬

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Nearest I can figure is FortNine gets a cut selling Revzilla gear in CA .. as when I try the link since I am in the USA it just re-directs me to Revzilla in USA …. My best guess is that Revzilla ships by the Truck Load to CA to FortNine then re ships to Canadian Customers.. I did notice they always post links for every product they talk about .. and thus it indicates they get some kind of a cut there ..

[@packman1]

Greetings from LA! Love all your videos dude

[@15LVV]

Respect for respecting Moms

[@jeholloway2]

Great story!

[@bobwalsh3751]

HOLD UP. Majoring in Art History...and Physics? Who pays for THAT wedding?

[@PhilVerryChannel]

SO GLAD the video production has vastly improved becsuse this....uhh, would make anyone motion sick! Also, he could talk with both hands on the handlebars.

[@9999plato]

When I got a Motorcycle in Brooklyn she screamed "You are going to die on the FUCKING DEATH MACHINE!!!" Of course she seems to have forgotten that she dated a guy and rode around on his motorcycle when she was young. I'm still here.

[@bBlaF]

Scatman is tops! Love you, Steve.

[@arturasstatkus8613]

Thank You.

[@SammyB2618]

Ok so “Steve” went to McGill University, hence the go stingers ad when Ryan mentioned the 2 Anglo universities in Quebec. But which is the “better” university? Concordia?

[@abhinayaagarwal]

Love from India and tvs 🖖

[@Thumperwrestler]

Do a video on the new ARCH bikes.

[@hoodio]

awesome editor

[@bnplaza]

brutally honest, I love it.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Yo RyanF9 (that's your official name in my mind lol), great video once again. Can't wait for the "rant" :D Oh and by the way, you got the Honda CBR 650F in CA don't you? If yes, would you consider doing a review of it, and possibly compare it to the older CBR 600F that it has replaced? In my mind, Honda screwed the bike by offering less features in the new bike, even for a steeper price. I'd really like to see your view on it, as I find you among one of the only trustworthy bike reviewers out there. I know sports bikes are not your exact love interest, but since it's more of a sports tourer, I figured you could be persuaded? :)

[@AlexanderTheGreat248]

Steve did his job perfect! XD (Scatman while down shifting)

[@nelsonsilva6842]

Strangly, one of the best!

[@DD-sn4iz]

interestingly, I do see your art history and physics background through your videos

[@Willy_Milano]

Hi,Ryan. You guys don't get the major Indian brands like Bajaj or TVS over in Canada? They have a couple of small off-road and urban bikes worth reviewing, like the TVS RTR 200 and the Bajaj Dominar 400. I'm curious to see how they'd fare against their Japanese or European counterparts. Cheers!

[@SalemCBR1]

Way to save the family car! .... art history, ...hehehe. I have enjoyed your videos sir. I have really liked making videos, i skipped the script though. Cheers.

[@mjrc123]

4:15 Haircut goals.

[@zeke8341]

Would you ever consider reviewing a super sport bike 600 or 1000?

[@johnrango4214]

Hey Ryan still loving your channel over most others bro & thanks for the videos & advise that you keep providing us. Quick question bro i have a naked ninja 650R- 09, do you have any advice on some affordable full frame slider set & a better more lighter helmet, see i live in LA & the wind has me like a bubble head on the freeway so please bro any recommendations?

[@gumb3588]

You are very good at your job

[@malikmuhleek8834]

"that would have upset my Mama", the moment I liked this video

[@ismaelbesharah1385]

Did the highway riding video ever get made?

[@AUTOT3KHCL]

needed moar mini ryan and old school photos haha

[@RahulRoy-zl6qq]

Hey Ryan could you do a full review of the KTM DUKE 390 2017. please please please...............

[@mattheweastel129]

RIP Scatman John, fantastic downshift sound effects

[@shachannel100]

This is a very interesting, funny, informative and inspiring true story. Thanks for sharing Ryan.

[@Bobodeman]

Ryan have your own secondary channel and why steve, what was with the downshift sound? Your funny steve

[@THEGEEK2001]

any recommendations of trail ridig in candia? anywhere in particular?

[@t77snapshot]

That scat shift at the end though. xD

[@luckylarry9514]

Do you read comments on old postings for those late viewing your videos? I had to wait for my mom to get dementia before she said I could ride one. 63 year old beginner with a 2018 Yamaha XT250 riding the Colorado Rockies. Thanks for the knowledge.
