I ride alone. I like to meet people when I stop.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Lol probably wise

[@Marcuzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I think its nice to go to a meeting like this. But mostly and personaly i love 2 be together with my bike. Were very close friends my bike and i 😂

[@malcaithness9889]

Ummm, cause my Line Wolf jus kicked in. Not into party rides, period.

[@malcaithness9889]

" Lone"

[@BikesILike]

For me, riding on my own is pure freedom, what motorcycling should be. I can ride where I want, how I want, when I want and what I want.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Many agree with you. Always good to have options

[@BikesILike]

@@OldNotDead-Club True!

[@yonniestone]

I'm a solo rider 99.9% of the time, I've ridden in large groups to clubs and honestly a small group of known friends is the best experience I've found, I gave up on Xmas toy runs years ago way too unpredictable and nerve racking, also some rides have rules and protocols and I strongly believe life has too many of those so riding solo gives you a bit more free reign so to speak.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks, wisdom in that

[@geoffhall7827]

The reason why I ride alone is because of the freedom. It's not that I'm running from something or hiding. It's all the rules and bullshit that comes with group riding.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Spot on, it can be like that

[@fastone136]

Same here.i dont know if the guy next to me can even maneuver a motorcycle.

[@ozzymotohd]

Great vid mate. I ride alone 99% of the time, I wouldn’t mind riding with a group, I can see some benefits as you have pointed out in this vid. For me riding alone just means I can do what I want when I want…. Sometimes it can be hard to commit to an organised ride….

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Totally agree, thanks for watching

[@breakoutpete210]

I’m 63 now, the older I get the more I like my solitude, and riding solo. I even ditched my girlfriend of 4 years lately. I go where I want, when I want, and with whoever I want, and I luv riding solo…luv my life now…drama free zone🏍️💨🔥🇨🇦✌️😎

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Alone can be peaceful

[@shaneconnors757]

There is Nothing Worse than Herd Mentality, the joy of riding alone or with your significant other!...Is the Clarity you get, in your thoughts/mind.Its You, the Road, and the Machine.Very Therapeutic!

[@OldNotDead-Club]

I agree

[@jagjr6772]

When my wife and I started riding our Harley-Davidsons we thought group riding would be the safest way to gain experience. Actually we were wrong. It ended up being the most stressful almost dangerous. Always a few riders who were erratic and couldn’t follow group riding rules then it effects everyone especially at intersections and parking. We ride together now as a twosome and enjoy it a whole lot better. We pick our group rides carefully now. Waiting on those new patches…..great content. Thank you.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you appreciated

[@joedarnell7573]

Greetings from America love watching your videos. For me I use to ride in the 80's and couple months back i started riding again. Since i have been riding by myself i feel so relieved to ride solo. It takes away stress and anxiety plus learning to ride all over again is great. My good friend ask me to ride with him to meet up for his group and i did. Was nice meeting new people but for me was my first time riding in a group formation. I learn all the signals for group rides i was kind of excited and overwhelmed at the same time.I did a good job for the first time trying to keep the group tight catching up being in the 4 slot in the front of a group of 24+. I still have a lot to learn but i kind of like both.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Well done and thanks for watching

[@andrewnegri4678]

I like both ways ,both have pros and cons😊 you have some great advice brother 😊😊😊😊

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks 👍

[@LowkeyAnnie]

I like to ride on my own, like you've mentioned, you do as you please. I enjoy the peace of solo. It clears my head, blasting off into yonder,wherever that may be, instantly feeling better about being me. I like people, but enjoy the solice, the alone time, as when I return home, I'm tired but not, I've endured the ride, the weather, the scenery and serenity that comes with riding alone...✌🏽❤️😎

[@randykling2889]

What a Pleasure... making friends one finger at a time... Safe Travels .... solo riding... gets old... but beats the alternative...

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Lol thanks

[@clicknstack1398]

Outstanding channel, sir. Great video. I ride alone most of the time. It is fun to ride in a group every now and again though. Why your channel isn't 10 times the size it is currently is bewildering. Stay Vigilant. :)

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you thats appreciated

[@thejerseyj5479]

My "group riding" consists of my brother and two cousins. Weve ironed out the moves and signals so at this point it is very enjoyable and a once a month treat. Most of my riding is solo and I enjoy that as well.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you

[@kennethallison4804]

Greetings from Minneapolis Minnesota! I started riding because I wanted to get out with friends. I’ve since found I prefer to ride alone most of the time. I enjoy riding at my pace and going wherever I choose without adhering to the schedules of other’s.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks

[@leannemitchell5412]

Prefer to ride alone, stop whenever for as long as i want, ride at my own pace and take the roads that i want to ride. Then i am able to see stuff that i want to see and without trying to please and accommodate anyone. I also like meeting people and socializing within group rides; Bike riding and travelling is something we all have in common. Camaraderie! Finding your videos interesting and uplifting. You should go on a BDR, one of their one dayer especially in the country areas such as Kerang Vic.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you

[@briantanner9900]

You do a great job presenting A lot of riding experience. I love riding by myself . When I ride in a organized group I alway try to ride with bikers that ride as close to my style of riding , speed , organization is a big plus , I am in my 60,s and I ride more conservative , and want to ride for many more years on my Street Glide , thanks , Brian

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks I try and do the same but I resist riding conservatively

[@JCruzSilent2.3]

Awesome, Great channel. I just subscribed. Keep those videos coming 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks! Will do! Welcome to the channel

[@alanogren447]

I concur. I travel around the the US for work and do 99% of my riding alone. I miss riding with friends but not large groups. I was a power ranger in the day but feel much more comfortable on my road king. Keep up the good work, love the positive vibes.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you

[@ET0000]

Another great video mate! Some very valid ideas about both riding in a group or simply by one's self! Both have their merits... depends on how I feel on the day! Getting out for the ride is what counts! Ride safe mate 😎

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Well said! Thank you

[@thomasbaker1332]

Another great video…. I mostly ride alone, though as you mention, it’s always nice to ride with a handful of friends once in a while

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you

[@okiemale1589]

😎👍 Big thumbs up for the channel... I actually started riding again several years ago because of the virus, as a way to get out of the house while social distancing... Now being retired, long time divorced, and no kids, I have the ability to ride wherever I want, to any destination... Any day of the week if I want to just get out and ride around a local lake for a few hours, or go on a 3 day ride I just go...... Lately, on 2 occasions my plans for a 4 hour ride turned in to, a 12 or 14 hour ride because I didn't feel like stopping... Isn't that the ultimate freedom? Because in my mind, at least, i am living the dream Brother....

[@OldNotDead-Club]

That is the ultimate freedom, thanks for watching

[@jackbrewer5132]

I like riding with small groups or alone, both can be relaxing and stimulating. I ride with the VFW riders a couple times a year and we do trips over 1000 miles. Maybe because we are all ex military that we stay in formation and ride with common sense . Also we always have a cause we are riding for, we are veterans helping veterans. We all ride Harley Davidsons and they sound awesome in a group. Generally there are between 8 &10 bikes. Enjoyed the video and was the first time you introduced your wife as far as I've seen on your videos, lovely lady. I'm guessing she is not as enthusiastic about riding as you are? Keep the shiney side up.. Jack

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks, she will appear more often. Lets say not as enthusiastic about how hard I like to ride

[@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039]

Solo riding is the way to go for me. It only works for others if you're confident in your machine and your skills and don't 'need' other blokes around you to have a good time. Nice to meet the OND wife - what a patient woman she must be :-)

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Lol, she is

[@jerryczarski5991]

I love your videos! It is just like the USA but on the other side of the road.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

LOL thanks

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

So many bikes, so many bikers all with the love of the road 🛣️.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

It's good to see isnt it!

[@danbarrette9888]

When I’m traveling to rallies or just an extended multi day ride I prefer to do it alone, although I always have my two buds smith and wesson with me. I have done a patriot ride with 2000 riders and all went well. The camaraderie of many riders is very fun as well.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

You guys are lucky to be able to have friends lol

Done em Both . Alone is so much better , and safer by far .

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks, both ways have advantages

[@dazzlejazzable]

Not a fan of pack mentality, but in saying that, there's nothing quite like riding for a great cause with many other riders. I prefer riding with a small group or just family. But riding solo is great when you aren't having to look out for anyone else and can do your own thing. Was lovely to meet Mrs. Old not dead. Thanks for another great video (and I'm not offended by your "Power ranger" comments.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Lol, thanks for watching!

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Fair mix of bikes. Agree about group rides. Prefer not to ride with unknown riders. One BIG headf*ck in groups is the continual waiting.. servos - pubs- piss stops...

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks for watching

[@KazRoyalEnfield]

Yet another thought provoking video Aymen not sure if I should be offended or not ! I’ll choose not ! I agree it’s difficult to ride with big groups who seemingly have no idea of order for rides nor do many seem to care less .. not sure it’s only Harley riders who do know how to ride in formation however I manage it !! 😊

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks for watching

[@DLV2252]

I prefer either alone or in a small group as long as the other riders aren’t SLOW, large groups are okay as long as I’m in front 😂😜, cheers Dan

[@OldNotDead-Club]

lol, wise words Danny, thanks!

[@John-cc1pc]

I ride alone mainly- I don’t have the time to devote to a club. I do like riding with a group of mates or people you meet on the way. It’s good to get the benefit of riding with a better rider but always ride you own ride! Don’t try to do what you can’t do or keep up when it’s not safe as tail end Charlie. Some lovely bikes there. Looks like a good scene Safe rides 👍🤜

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thank you

[@odishamiltonjr328]

As an American Legion Rider, I participate in a lot of benefit rides with other Legion Riders. Most of these rides are yearly events so I've known a lot of these folks for years and have ridden with them many times. If you are familiar with the people in your group, it makes for a more relaxed, enjoyable ride. Also, when wearing our patches, we represent the American Legion so there is a code we follow. (Again, MOST of us do. There is always an ass out there somewhere). All this being said, I think the most enjoyable rides for me, are when my wife and I just pick a direction and have a nice ride to lunch somewhere out of the way. Why ride 50 miles just for lunch? Because we can. Thanks for the great video, as always. "The shiny side goes up". :)

Riding with the same group is good, you work out their style, I rode with AMC sunny coast for 10 years and they where great rides, national rally to Victoria in 2010 with Bundy chapter to Albury was good then down to Broadford with 100+ Harley's down the Hume was awesome, I have an other harley now, time to rejoin, Riding alone is great too, ido alot of that too😊

[@user-kj6bt7fv3g]

Yeah I prefer to ride alone than in groups because when I'm riding in the group there's that extra responsibility that needs to be extended for the people that are riding around with you, when I'm on my own I tend to relax more than when I'm up on a group ride, And yeah I do tend to ride hard at times and my pegs will attest that but then there are times I like to dauddle 😊

I enjoy riding with my group, unfortunately, on August 22. I had a stroke, and riding on my own definitely makes a difference for me. I rode from Townsville to Tailem Bend September 23 on my own a total of 8000 km in 4 weeks, had to make lots of stops due to my health, but loved every bit of my trip.

Hey Aymen, you are bang on about vitamin D. One of the most important vitamins to take. The government should be telling people about the benefits but big pharma wouldn’t allow it because they want us sick. I take 10,000iu’s a day and 200 mcg of of k2, and haven’t had a cold for years. Keep up the good work, go the power rangers 😂

Riding in large groups with others you don't know, sucks. Always great riding with a few mates you know well. I've abandoned all supplements since "covid". wouldn't touch another product made by essentially the same parent companies of pharmaceuticals.

great video mate .... my preference is to ride alone or with one or two friends. My issues with groups is i don't know them and watching riding styles and peoples behaviours on bikes in this setting is too exhausting which makes the ride unenjoyable for me. What really sucks here in the USA is there are a ton of riders that don't know how to corner or ride on country / 2 lane roads without wiggling all over the place and crossing centre lines. I am an expat Kiwi so windy 2 lane roads are what i grew up with.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks

[@mickboot8679]

I end up riding alone because the boys won’t go as far on their wide glides and rocker c as I do on the street glide, but I am finding other friends who will go on long rides.

Group riding you deal with inexperienced riders and not knowing how others ride, also riders that haven’t ridden in big groups. But in saying that I love it. Also love me time on my own.

Lane splitting where legal makes sense when traffic is stopped because of all the air cooled motors that will self destruct when left to idle for long periods . Lane splitting at full highway speed even if legal is just stupid and if you play with fire it's only a matter of time before you get burned and you will get burned. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. :) Good luck and I do enjoy watching the content on your channel.

Since you're the bloke doing vids on Harley's & Harley riders & Bikie wannabees, maybe you would consider explaining what the connection is between Harley's & skulls. I've asked quite a few Harley owners & Bikie wannabees & all I get is "I just like em". Ofcourse, this doesn't explain why they want to display skulls whenever they ride their Harley's so, maybe you could explain or, you Could just put another little red heart near my comment.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

See my video on the topic "skulls and symbols" but on top of that all sysmbols have meanings which are layered. Some have an effect on the owner and some have an effect on the viewer - you may not even be aware you are under a spell. P.S thats a very arrogant way to start a question.

Riding in a group is dangerous. Because you have different skill levels, between the group of riders. A real risk of running into the back of other riders!!

Don't get me wrong, if you're a club rider you've made the commitment to all rules. Most club riders know what's going on anyway. But big events just like the blessing of the bikes.

[@dccollar2963]

i prefer to ride alone, for some reason I annoy most people after 10 mins...

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Lol

Just like to point out that in group rides it not all just the Power Rangers that cause issues, what about the classic $70k Harley Owners that have 4,000klm on their bikes and ONLY ride in events like GP run or Xmas rides etc. They are bloody dangerous too with little to no experience (shown by the K’s on their rides). I’ve seen a HD stack just in front of me on a similar huge group rides years ago trying to “catch up” to the group in front. As we know in these big groups one minute your doing the speed limit next minute brake lights everywhere and a complete stop. This HD rider locked his brakes and high sided due to not paying attention. Like the GP ride for the amount of bikes but it can be full of inexperienced riders.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Yeah you are spot on. It was a generalisation about the day only

I ride alone, not al humans are designed for human interaction. I function just fine alone past 53 years. And there are plenty more like me.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thats true if you know yourself and your not running.

[@bullgrim]

What glasses do you wear when driving, please?

[@OldNotDead-Club]

I'm not sure of the brand, the type that goes from yellow to dark depending on the sun. From a local motorcycle store, very easy to find

Thank you!@@OldNotDead-Club

It is so confusing watching everyone ride on the wrong side of the road, and then pass on the left shoulder? huh?

[@OldNotDead-Club]

lol

Lane splitting at speed is not only dangerous, it's rude and shows a level of impatience that will help get you killed. Doing it at 30kph has it's own issues but at express way speed is just plain pathetically stupid

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks for your riding advice, lucky it's not me doing that. You Tube is for entertainment purposes - 1. wide angle lenses distort distances and 2. some of the clips are from other riders etc. spliced in. I would never do something dangerous, rude, impatient or even illegal... so surely - perhaps even guaranteed that I am not pathetically stupid... or triggered.

[@madeulook5421]

@OldNotDead-Club Come on mate, so 8.20 into the clip, wasn't you riding 🤣🤣

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

I ride alone because most of my biker buddies are dead.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Ouch, sorry to hear that

[@defenestrationfan]

Oh yeah its all the non- Harley riders who are erratic and rev-bomb etc. Maybe its a regional thing being down in Oz - here in America I would say just the opposite. The most egregious actors are the sport bike rice burners being erratic and the Harley riders who rev all the effing time - in parking lots, stop lights especially. South Park did a number of episodes regarding Harley riders and their constant revving. Ridden two group rides both memorials for fallen officers and will never do it again. Most were there to show off their bikes, pose and - you guessed make noise.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thats why I was surprised at who was rev bombing, I was expecting the Harley riders to do it

[@DaddyMassive]

Hey Aymen I gotta ask what the driver that you flipped the bird to did to you?
