Your channel has been really helpful, especially with you linking to the the products. From watching your videos I made the decision to buy a KTM XC-F 250. I am in my 30s, and its my first Dirt Bike in more than 15 years, and with my first one, i never learned to properly ride it, and ended up getting a sports ATV. Now I am back to dirt bikes and it was a bit overwhelming, but your videos on cleaning, setting, and just items to own have been VERY helpful. I still got a long ways to go with throttle control, standing, and holding on to the bike, but your set me in the right direction. In a long winded way, i am saying thank You for your videos.

Great content as always. Just a question or maybe a suggestion. I understand Motosport and other sponsors pay the bills and sending your viewers to them for the latest gear and gadgets puts a dollar in your pocket. (Your kids need to eat too) Here in the northeast many small shops are struggling, The commission a new bike in laughable, most of the money comes in form of service, parts, gear and oil, and it seems like every other youtuber sends their viewers to summit, Jegs, Motosport, Revzilla, amazon ect. Some will say "I can save $4.65 on amazon" You're missing the point. Someday someone will say "Hey remember that old KTM shop? That old guy behind the counter was cool! All that will be left is the memory, smell of oil, new plastic and fresh rubber. So my suggestion for the upcoming holiday season to your viewers is to support the local shops, keep them around for our kid's generation. I will always shop local first before I pay an online retailer. Sorry for the rant, keep up the great videos!!

Who cares about a local shop that is selling global manufactured products at the highest retail mark up and have a bad return policy with no unique benefits. The local shops don’t let me get an Arai helmet and swap out the pads to sizes that actually accommodate my head. Nor do the people at the counter provide help or additional details not found online. Here we have a DIY mechanic shop where you can rent out a work table for your bike that is infinitely better than some retail location. Support the next generation of bike shops. Not the old dated ones. This is capitalism Bröther

The mini pick set is one of my favorite tools. Quality matters there, the cheap ones bend and break with very little force. A snap-on mini pick set is vanadium like their wrenches and very strong.

Thank you for explaining how to actually use the affiliate link tag. I always want to support favorite YT content creators, but I always find it's quicker just to go to the site itself and search for what I want rather than dink around trying to find the video where a partulllicular product is linked. This solves that problem.

dupont chain saver is amazing, even for oring chains. When they're a little older they make noise and chain saver works great. it's wax based so it won't cling everywhere. Seal saver has never worked for me. Ice cooler, water-wetter and such are much better than antifreeze in taking heat out (so is pure water) but they will freeze, so be careful during winter.

Skip the floor pump and get that little Makita air pump that uses the same drill batteries. Most of my riding buddies have added one and we've had to use all 3 in rotation (short duty cycle) to fill up a flat truck tire. Makes it easy to deal with a whole family of moto tires.

Your right but if your like this guy that has more money to blow on all this crap when in reality most of the kids or young men watching these videos can't even afford a bike let alone 3 of all the shit you don't need to ride a dirt bike. If I needed all the crap this guy needs I would definitely have someone teach me how to ride a motorcycle so I didn't need to take 3 complete motorcycle rebuild kits and triplet of tools and fluids every time I went riding. Lol
