I have done that a time or 2 over the last 40 years and I get a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the gravel out myself. I believe strongly in safety but 99% of safety is how the rider rides.

Instead of riding jeans consider riding pants that go over whatever you’re wearing. This way when you get to work you can take the extra layer off.

[@A_Degenerate_with_Glasses]

Oh yes, I seconded this statement. I have two pairs of overpants, one for winter and one for summer. They are great for work. On my weekends, I usually wear my leathers, but on weekdays? Overpants and a matching textile or mesh jacket (usually same brand as the pants).

First one is a lie. I know what happens when ppl have an accident and slide on the asphalt. The jeans and flesh combine to a bloody mess and only a doc can cut it out. Srsly even at 100 km/h (60mp/h) it can lead to some really nasty flesh jeans combination that you don’t want. If you only drive in the city it’s not that big of a deal but if you commute or ride back roads it’s a must

[@gabrielpokrajac5941]

I know a guy that was riding in jeans on a very hot day, he slid on asphalt for 60 or something metres and the blue paint from jeans litteraly tattooed him because of the heat generated from hot asphalt and friction

[@yammienoob]

I agree. Abrasion protection is important. But I stand by what I said, if you are on a budget and you are just starting out - a helmet, gloves and over the ankle motorcycle specific boot is more important than riding pants. The most common injury on the lower body in a crash is broken ankles/feet. Also, a beginner likely won't slide out at 60mph. They are more likely to have a low speed drop where impact protection from hard parts is more important.

[@monroemonuments8721]

Lol honestly only leather gets my approval at 60mph slide.

[@morpheus2615]

Yammie Noob I get your point but riding a bike is a hobby in the west. You Said it yourself for us in the first world it’s basically a toy. And you need a certain degree of protection for this dangerous hobby. You might not need a 400€ helmet or an airbag but cevlar jeans that protect your legs is not too far fetched. Doing 60 on the back roads or highway is pretty normal and every beginner should do that. If smth goes wrong on these roads you need that protection or get a nice jeans tattoo. (This will totally invalidate my point but idc I wanted to write this since day one I found you Yay senpai finally noticed me)

[@morpheus2615]

ptičja gripa that’s not the worst case. You probably know sarma. I saw a pic of someone who’s leg looked like a jeans meat sarma. One layer jeans one flesh and it perfectly rolled in his leg. Just terrifying that 100 km/h (60mp/h) can do smth like that to your leg

I think a two piece (zip together) leather suit is a must on a sports bike. My first accident was priar to these being available, and only had a skimpy leather jacket (no padding) and normal jeans. My bone ripped right through the jacket. Luckily (contrary to the name I'm female) I had thigh length leather boots that did in fact save my knee and leg. Eventually they started producing decent leathers for females and my second accident saved many parts of my body. Only needing hospital treatment for a couple of days. My third my body had learnt to bounce well but my back protector was worth its weight. Sadly only one of my bikes survived these accident's. R.I.P LC 350 and FZR 400 r exup 😭😭😭

[@lordofdeceit]

Having broken my back I'll always wear a back protector. Mostly it's just a "big" lump on my back but I'd rather have it in case something goes wrong rather than braking my back again and maybe not make it this time. But I guess I see what you're saying, if you do have the extra cash, buy a back protector I'd say.

I ride all summer long with my BLACK two piece leather suit. Protip: when it's hot outside and you know you will cook, take your base layer(s) (get some if you don't have any) and dunk them in water. Remove excess water and put gear on. It's a bit disgusting at first but as soon as the water gets to your body's temperature you forget about it. The water on your base layer amplifies the heatsink effect. As soon as you begin rolling, you'll have instant A/C!

[@shines7554]

For cold weather riders - say above freezing but below 45 degrees - riding long distances ... I would suggest heated gloves or if the aesthetic doesnt bother you - grip deflectors. I did a Dallas to ElPaso trek with temps varying between 40 and 50 degreesF. At speed, the wind chill is pretty low and while the grip warmers kept my grip toasty, the backs of my hands felt frostbitten after 13 hours. So, heated gloves. Cheap alternative if you have some room in the gloves, put a Hot Hands heater pack on the top of your hands inside the glove. Agree, this is limited circumstances, but cold hands on long trips create fatigue, annoyance, and distraction the longer you are on the bike. Great vid.

Ive ordered strap-on knee-protection. Planning on getting some Riding Jeans (with kevlar or something that wont tear like normal ones). As well as probably some better gloves, maybe even proper riding jacket from the mainland at a later point.

[@He_isI]

I disagree on not needing riding jeans. A motorcyclist needs the added protection. The rider doesn't have to buy the most expensive gear, but has to buy the gear for his/her protection. My gear: Scorpion r420 helmet, Scorpion Optima jacket, Scorpion Havoc gloves, Scorpion Covert pro jeans, Bull It jeans (under $100 sale at Revzilla), Harley-Davidson riding sneakers. Also, I did buy the armor for the jeans, and upgraded the back pad for the jacket. Bought all separately over 5 months time before I bought my 1st bike.

[@bastiwen]

I'm not a risk taker, I'm a good boy who follows the law and all that. I still picked up and airbag and you want to know why ? For two reasons: 1. I live in a mountainous area and if I slip and happen to fall down a slope or a ledge or wathever it could save my life. 2. I'm not worried about my riding as much as I'm worried about others. If a car slams into me at least I'm at less of a risk of breaking my back or snapping my neck.

[@caseysgarage5991]

I live in the North, and I can tell you that heated gear really isn't necessary. A good leather jacket and a hoodie underneath keeps me warm at freezing temperatures pretty easily.

I highly disagree with everything you have said in this video. If you weigh all your safety concerns on dollars than you shouldn't even ride. Why should dollars be compared to your life which cannot be replaced? If you can't afford brand new gear i.e. jacket, gloves, full leather pants, buy used. I do not reccomend buying a used helmet as one does not know what happened during its use unless you are experienced and can spot issues. Simple fact, spend the money(if you dont have it at that time, be PAITIENT, save your money and then purchase the gear you want and need). For me, I would rather spend the money on really good riding gear to protect myself in the event of a fall or as we all know the non-drivers out there that just dont pay enough attention, than to wish I had it laying in the hospital bed permanently paralyzed or needing massive skin grafts. Be safe, wear your riding gear everytime, all the time. Shalom✡🙏👌

[@MicJaguar]

The Budget Biker here. I agree with this list. I am a low income rider and so i saved on got the best protection for the most reasonable price. I got a decent jacket for $200 and swapped the back pad for a Force Shield later. Its good in 3 seasons. I ha e my every day gloves and then my cold weather gloves. I got a pair of jeans that has the kevlar and padded inserts for about $160 and wear those on my day rides in the country. My helmet is about $200 and i keep it clean. As for winter riding. Well, in San Antonio TX Winters are really just like being in a refrigerator rather than a freezer. But a neck warmer to seal the gap from my jacket to helmet and an extra under shirt is all i need. If its a long ride and cold, ill layer up and even throw my under shirts in the dryer just before heading out. If its one of those scorching hot days, ill soak a shirt in cool water, wring it out a little and put it on before rolling out. The jacket keeps the cool moisture in and body temp down. For maybe an hour. I re soak it when i stop for gas.

I went through about 3 or 4 pairs of jeans sliding down the road when I started out before I decided it was pretty much going to be leather from then on. A choice I have never regretted. Frankly, if you don’t have a decent helmet, gloves, jacket and boots of some description, you shouldn’t even be on a bike. Get a cheap second hand one but get quality gear - it’s your plan B when it all goes wrong, which it probably will at some point even if it’s not your fault.

out of experience i can say it’s IMPORTANT to wear protective PANTS! I had my first accident going 50 and crashing into a car and my legs suffered the most because I was only wearing regular jeans. If I had worn kevlar jeans with proper protectors inside I would‘ve been able to walk the accident off way easier than I did without them. I was lucky I didn’t slide down the road back then

[@crocyplayzyt5892]

i don’t really like to pay more money than i have too but obviously i need to be safe so I just have gloves helmets boots and a a vest the boots were the last things i got bc i didn’t think i needed them urgently although it’s better to have them

[@Randolini]

I do cold weather riding in a ski bib and jacket with a pair of Gortex gloves, although up here in NORTEX it really doesn't get that cold usually.

[@jimmytorello7041]

I have a SNELL rated helmet, wear protective gloves, high ankle boots, and a motorcycle leather jacket. I feel pretty good with safety though I think a little more leg protection would be better. I do ride in 30 degree weather often and windbreaker pants, winter gloves, a wind resistant parka, and a baklava under my helmet keeps the cold out for my daily 20 minute commute to work.

[@monroemonuments8721]

like others suggested perhaps over the pants leathers would be great for you.

[@jimmytorello7041]

Monroe Monuments For sure, some lightweight windbreaker pants with pad inserts would work or just getting some Velcro like knee pads with the option of pulling windbreaker pants over in cold weather would work. I’ll be exploring my options. Thanks.

[@ricklussi9975]

1:40, putting the gloves on, before the helmet.

[@Drifthaze]

alpinestars makes a track air bag and a street air bags

[@bleedinggames6836]

Just got a DOT approved helmet from revzilla and didn't even take notice that they aren't legal in Australia because even though it's a legitimate helmet that meets American standards, it doesn't have the Australian standards sticker...

[@amangseth]

So you buy a helmet but not a back protector? So your head is important but your spine isn't? Here in Norway the insurance companies demand that you use one since the injuries are way less serious.

[@aeric661]

when i was a noob i bought dainese full metal gloves $400 nd knee nd shin guards

[@twistedsocal]

You know, my techair system with jacket and airbag cost me 2k, was worth every penny and will never see a track day since I don't have a techair one piece. The only downside besides cost is air flow, it gets mad restricted even though I am running a vented version. Still, 2k for insurance and confidence is well worth it. Granted I have been riding for over 20 years. Wish I had one of these before my major wreck

[@pnusern]

Heated gloves in finland are a must have

[@noveris6538]

All you need is a helmet and a jacket tbh

[@nope-m4f]

What about flashbangs or airsoft grenades?

[@thatguy6207]

I liked the jeans for winter

[@Connormoto]

Funny how different stuff is from germany , here people will roll their eyes at you if you dont wear proper gear and we go knee down when go street riding without breaking the speed limit even .

[@potatokaiyote]

I bought an Arai Signet X, was 600 bucks but that thing was the only helmet to fit my big ass head 😂

[@yugen8382]

Buy whatever you can buy Your priorities should be: 1.Helmet 2.Jacket 3.Gloves 4.Pants 5.Boots All your gear should be from trusted brands.The shit companies do to save cost from safety gear will leave you speechless.

[@manny75586]

How about Bluetooth communication devices if you don't have a regular group you ride with? I tend to ride solo. It'd be utterly wasteful to spend $400 on a Cardo.

[@fae8088]

😂 literally a second before you accidentally said beer a beer ad came up 😂

[@pawelallable]

I tour on my R1 and wear leathers usually. Is there really anything else I should wear in case I get sideswiped on the freeway at 75? Don't understand the hate for leathers on the street.

[@Kyle-zy7ny]

A riding jacket and riding pants should be the top 5 first things you get as a beginner. Not budget amazon gear. REAL CE rated gear. That little insurance will protect you from turning your ass into shredded cheese on the pavement.

[@therandom3452]

What the hell was that black helmet in the beginning, it’s so cool and I need it

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Kevlar flip flops and mesh shorts are all I need.

[@順番配給]

i do not agree with not buying jeans i agree that it's not a vital piece to get but seriously it's still a good buy i don't ride reckless or want any one-piece suit to soak my sweat on and i'm not competitive rider so separated protective gears is still a thing helmet gloves and boots are vital skip the jacket/jeans if you are tight on budget and then it's time for you to decide what style you are in then proceed to buy no vital gears one-piece suit or jacket/jeans it has pros and cons but i'd rather take jacket/jeans in casual ride unless you love many turns roads or trackday boy you should get one-piece suit - my recent accident had taugh me that riding jeans is a good buy compared to normal jeans :P

[@mcrb1776]

A $200 Dianese jacket? Or you misspelled Dainese, or you bought a fake.

[@Into_The_Mystery_13]

Telling new riders to shave their balls instead of protecting their legs? Come on dude all riders need gear especially new ones. This is just misinformation. You have responsibility to inform and protect your viewers. Not just make money off of them. As someone who has crashed you should know the value of gear

[@yammienoob]

I stand by what I said. If you are on a budget, it's much more important to get a good helmet, gloves, and boots than riding pants. Getting riding pants but wearing sneakers is idiotic. Ankle and foot injuries are way more common than road rash on legs.

[@buschiew300zx]

I disagree on riding pants. No you don't need $200 jeans, but my torn patella tendon and broken patella say you are wrong. I went down at around 35 miles an hour and landed directly on my knee a pair of riding pants probably would have saved me from 3 months of pain.

[@alanhung1428]

Disagree on the back protector. That piece of flimsy foam that comes with the jacket does nothing for protection. They may help dissipate force on a VERY VERY minimal level but most only covers the upper back and do not go low enough and wide enough for your lower spine. Quality gear from head to toe can be purchased for under $1000. If you cannot invest in at least that much to protect your long term health, you probably should not be riding. Like those guys that spend $10k on a supersport then buy $20 Mechanix gloves with Levi's jeans and Timberlands.

[@leelove5089]

I prefer armored mesh pants

[@justforlaughs8988]

So I'm looking at a sick Kevlar woven sleeveless t-shirt they are super awesome and it really shows the style very well they want $189.99 for it and it's very lightweight I was thinking about it

[@justforlaughs8988]

@Massimo Hack yeah I know LOL I was just joking everything's about style and nothing is about safety these days or how most riders are around me it's a joke for me I wear a full suit two-piece

[@ForReaLeirikNO]

If you’re not wearing full leathers you should ALWAYS WEAR KEVLAR JEANS. I got mine for about $160. Even $200+ is undoubtedly worth the safety of not sliding 200 feet on your bare ass

[@dinoornido7805]

Thanks!

[@keshavtak8349]

Yes. I. Do!
