POV: You're Leading A 58 Bike Group Ride & Someone Crashes (Extended Cut)

[@catataumachado1]

It was totally worth riding 4 hours in the rain from NJ to the meet up. I’ll make a tradition for me to go to the Life of Burch meeting every year. Thanks again for putting this together.

[@ImTheRaptor]

I've got a Rebel 1100 and I love seeing the amount of people on these bikes and how nice the community is. So glad to be a part of this group. I'll have to try and make it to next year's meetup, but it's a long trip from Arkansas. Love the content Burch!

[@simonchilli2088]

Hats off to the brother on a moped amongst all the iron! That is such a nice part of the world to be riding in, I love it. Over here in the UK they use a marker to hold traffic up at junctions so all the bixe get thru and stay together.

Hey Burch, I love the just riding uncut video. Thanks for sharing! I'm glad Reese and his Grom are alright. Prayers Flying from Michigan for safe travels

Perfect!! Love the feel good video. Crappy about the grom… yet everyone was good so that’s all that matters. Keep killing it Mike!! We all appreciate what you do for the community brother.

Damn, Burch when you and Nina said “love you” to each other that shit was awesome! I hope you know seeing and watching your progress through your divorce is extremely inspiring knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Currently been going through divorcing my wife right now. Sadly caught her cheating 3 months in. Just wanted to thank you for pushing through your situation because seeing how things got better for you I now have that same hope developing 🤙🏻🤙🏻 keep it real homie and keep up the good work I appreciate your videos every time they come out!

[@LifeOfBurch]

Fuck man so sorry you’re going through that right now 😔 but thank you for sharing that! Hearing things like that reminds me why I’m as open and honest on this channel with not just bike stuff, but life stuff. I can assure you that even if it doesn’t feel like it, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Life will kick your ass for awhile, but if you keep pushing, you’ll wake up one day, look around, and wonder how shit got as good as it did. Keep the hope alive brotha! You got this!! 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@JaeIV]

It’s events and gatherings like this that really makes me excited to join the lifestyle. I’ve always loved bikes, but the camaraderie amongst bikers is unmatched.

[@djakasha]

Fab video! I really like the uncut feel but I did struggle to hear what you were saying over the music. Glad the guy was ok at the end. When out on big group rides we usually have the person at the front and the person at the back of the group in comms with each other in case there's any issues. Perhaps Cardo could sponsor the next one 😁

Can’t wait to get in on this. Picking up a 23 Rebel 500 as my first bike in 27 years. Started watching this channel a couple weeks ago when I decided it was time to get back into it. The Mrs and I are signed up for the MSF course at our local community college and we have started acquiring gear. I even epoxied the garage floor and am setting up my own bike shop for mods and tinkering. Shoutout to Burch Nina @KomotoVlogs for the inspiration ❤ 🎉 from Charlotte

[@Baker3939]

Love the video. Im 31 years old and somehow just now getting into bikes. I want to start with the Rebel 300 because im paying cash for a new one and i also live 1 mile from my job. Also most roads around me are 55mph. Highway is 35 miles away, but it's not really recommended as theres alot of crashes here in central Missouri on i44 and i have no reason to travel them atm. I am 6 foot tall. Would you recommend the 300 with what ive mentioned? Me and my slightly younger brother just want to cruise and enjoy the ride. We been watching your videos lately and now we want to have cruise sessions. We understand power is good, but it also has it's situations where its good and bad for safety.

[@usa-rb5fi]

Where do you live? I live a couple miles off of I-44 near Fort Leonard Wood. I ride a shadow vlx 600, I’d look at the 500 rebel if you’re going the rebel route.

[@Baker3939]

@@usa-rb5fi I live in New Haven, MO which is north on Hwy 100 north of Sullivan, MO. Me and my brother have switched out minds on getting the 500 instead. Its not much more. We both want new bikes to learn from now used. Unless it was 200 mile used.

You’re only about an hour or so from me, Sullivan only takes me an hour to get too. I live close to the Uranus fudge.

[@Snafu2346]

this looks like a lot of fun. I haven't done anything like this since about 20 years ago for a car track meet. There are no roads like this where I live. At least not within 2 hours away. 2 hours away and 2 hours back on a sports bike isn't all that comfortable.

[@LifeOfBurch]

We’re definitely so fortunate to have roads like this around here! Sometimes I take that for granted honestly. I feel you on not wanting to ride a 4 hour round trip just to get to the roads worth riding. At that point I’d rather trailer the bike there, have a blast on the nice roads, then trailer it back! 😂🤘🏻

[@Snafu2346]

@@LifeOfBurch I've actually been planning on buying a new daily driver that could tow or carry a trailer to do exactly that. 800lb trailer, or 400-500 lbs if its aluminum trailer. And a 400lb bike or two. I don't want a big truck or suv since it'd be my daily to work and stuff. Maybe some mid size hybrid suv. Then I could trailer it all the way up to where you guys are at and ride along.

Leading a large group ride on wet roads and regularly going over the posted limit by 10 to 15 mph..... What could go wrong? Seriously I'm all for a fun pace but you got to be much more careful with a large group like that

[@LifeOfBurch]

Bro what this was the definition of a leisurely pace 😂😂😂 In the video I say twice that I’m going slow to ensure everyone’s safety, and I started the ride with a pre-ride safety briefing. Shit happens. Trying to pin it on me is wild behavior lmao Edited to add that the turn where the crash happened was taken by the Toyota Tacoma in front of us faster than our group took it. If a Tacoma is taking a turn faster than a motorcycle…I can assure you we had safety in mind 😂

[@Dagnis8]

I guess there is some lessons to be learned here about managing a motorcycle Train. Above a certain size (probably 20) make sure you have cardo/phone call between front and back riders to coordinate. If your pack is big enough have a middle rider also be in the pack (I'd say this is big enough). Have the back rider, or a couple of riders near the front, be ready to stop traffic at minor intersections (like the one you were worried about losing people around the time you found out about the accident). Your size was small enough to where it wouldn't have been an issue to stop traffic. When you get too big (100+) the group can get too crazy and cause too much of an obstruction. Look up the jacksonville FL Grom Day. Couple hundred people on groms and other mini motos. Pure chaos to an extent with people doing wheelies in the middle of the group. Stuff like that requires a strong train lead and self policing.

[@BT2SS]

Yeah, 53 in a 30 on wet roads that “99% of the people with you don’t know”… not very responsible leading.

Big group rides stress me out because you can never be sure what someone’s ability or skill level may be PLUS you never know what someone will do. Then there’s the show-off/testosterone factor. I’ll ride solo with a small group of friends. Group rides, not my cup of tea. I’m stressed watching the video.
