Pro Racer Rides Azusa Canyon

[@joshinnc9882]

for the intro, just talk to us like we are your friends. because most of us are here because we love you.

[@joshherrin]

It's still always awkward filming it though. Maybe I should make some cardboard cutouts. Or maybe do a live video at the same time I film my intros. 🤣

[@kousinkoolaid]

@@joshherrin😂😂

[@elmort611]

In school we had media class I know sounds made up they told us to look right above the camera and picture it like your telling your best friend something their interested in

[@Antmanmoto]

Exactly

[@AJpro88]

no diddy

[@renatobonomini]

Thank you for riding with us Josh! I hope I did not slow you down too much going up Azusa ;)

[@tommynikon2283]

Dude- I'm 68, been riding crotch rockets for the past 44....and I KNOW ABOUT YOU! We appreciate the outreach- WE Want to help you make this thing successful. In the end, we ADMIRE your talent/abilities....and this channel is a part of that.

[@NoKzMoto]

Definitely need to put that GoPro sponsorship to work and get a rear-mounted 360 camera so we can get that POV when you ride. 😁

[@ajsmotorcyclingstuff1110]

No intros needed… keep it real like always. You have a great channel!

[@joshherrin]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

[@juicer404]

Cool to see a pro have fun on the road with us mortals

[@benadams8130]

"Hey guys, it's Josh, I race and love motorcycles. I'm in a van right now with my Ducati, we're gonna go riding today out in Newport with orange county Ducati. Let's ride!!" You don't need anything more than that. Or do a teaser clip to start, short intro cut away, back to moto content. I'm happy to copy write for OF credits 😂

[@Image-X]

A pro tearring up the streets is pretty unique and cool as hell. Keep them coming, Josh!

[@silversoozookee2839]

I definitely appreciate it man. Just keeping it real and I like that 😊 Certainly helps newbies like me learn

[@robertrishel3685]

I randomly stumbled across this video…but I absolutely already knew who Josh Herrin is! Talented road racer. I knew that much. Didn’t realize you were making videos though, so..subscribed.

[@sunny7L]

i have a sprinter van used primarily for transporting motorcycles, and i've used bolt-it-on but ultimately went with pit bull (but made a solution so i didn't have to drill the van at all). the best ramp solution i've found so far is a foldable, swivel ramp by national fleet transportation (NFT). it's a no drill ramp that attaches through bolts/threads only to the van and swings open like a door (into or out of the van) when not in use. takes up 6 inches against your door in the back of the van when folded. if you're invested in your sprinter and don't mind spending 10% of its cost on a ramp, this system is unbeatable (and makes loading / unloading enjoyable, believe it or not, because it's so satisfying and easy). look up NFT Swivel Ramp (by WM, they're italian, for your italian bike!)

[@edb4428]

Back in 78 I moved out to California, my friend Larry took me up Glendora Mountain Road than down Azusa Canyon. Best rides we did!

[@ms6071]

I’m here because I grew up near Azusa Canyon and because I am not able to go there any longer, I love seeing it once in awhile, thanks for the ride.

[@ClayStudtman]

CONGRATS ON DAYTONA!!! Locked in for M.A. Good luck this year!!!

[@joshherrin]

Thanks for the support! Hope to see you out at a MotoAmerica race this year!

[@SpeedGoat18]

Hey Josh, my wife and I miss seeing yall at VIR and hope that Motoamerica will roll back through there next year! You have always been great to talk to at the track and we are pulling for you every race day. It's also totally cool that you street ride as well! You are definitely one of the most BAD ASS, wide open riders out there today! By the way, I just ordered myself a HERRIN #2 hat last week!..Keep it up wildman!!!!!

[@Eddie_Gee]

Love that you still enjoy road riding that’s awesome 👏🏼

[@papap.8006]

63 years old HD rider that has been a sub for years. Love you brother.

[@CrayzJohnny]

Good to see you man! I've been a fan of your channel here on YT since you were on team BMW(hoping you'd come back 🙂). Always great to see your videos, keep them coming!

[@Don4425]

With regards to the intro: My dude you are a racer at heart, not an influencer. Just do you and whatever you're comfortable with. Even just raw video of you riding without music would be great content. I wish you all the best!

[@twohotgt4uwarner336]

Well you and I have talked before and i have been following you for years.. You are still and always my favorite Rider.. but go get that dam championship.. you're on the right track so get it Josh.. love you bro..

[@Naryokowitsch]

thats a beautiful gas tank. the paint is really good too.

[@joshherrin]

I feel like you are messing with me because my GoPro angle was too low. 🤣

[@Naryokowitsch]

@@joshherrin just a bit 🤏

[@demetris92]

17:20 "u can hear the water running down" man tries to pee in peace xD

[@CrayzJohnny]

I was thinking the same thing. lol

[@NoKzMoto]

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. 🤣

[@vicpnut1]

😂

[@RiderZer0]

Intros you can always do a sneak peak highlight reel for the video then transition to just a hello and explanation of what the plan for the day is.

[@ChumiStu]

Please appreciate how fucking cool it is to be ripping a Ducati around those canyons. That’s a ‘make a wish’ ‘jim’ll fix it’ experience right there 😂😂😂

[@joshherrin]

You are right! It is awesome! I wish HSBK Racing would hurry up and send me my exhaust! 😩

[@luvbikes2012]

The casual sliding at 12:10 😂

[@NewmiesDad]

This is what made me back up a couple of times - 14:33 - probably barely registered xD Couldn't tell if it was a slide or downshift or both, but I puckered.

[@matthias19850]

"Howdy Y'all, my name is Josh, I ride motorcycles very fast and have gigantic balls, but enough about me; look at this bike!"

[@CASADELSOULVIDMIXTV]

Every good video starts with an idea, a good idea gives you all the fuel you need to execute. It also gives you all the framework you need to tell a great story.🙏🏍️💨

[@joeturner7453]

Awesome video @joshherrin love that KYT seen a few at TT davo johnson's is stunning i want 1 🙏🏼 anyway subbed you after stumbling on a wristy video, now a fan on here and from the good old Isle of Man 🇮🇲 seems like watched your progress for years, your so much younger than i thought.. keep the videos coming !! badass content!!

[@AlexDanger221]

I'm a sub since I've seen the R1 sliding on a compilation and went to hunt down your original video. I think you should just start introducing yourself with maybe some shorts of you riding in between but honestly whatever intro is fine because it is about you at the end of the day. Loved the old intro with the Seige song, that was dope af.

[@sharkfaced]

There was nothing wrong with how you started the video - in fact it was pleasantly interesting ….. Its all in the mimd dude, youre doing well keep it up

[@AlistairCarter-fk9yo]

Additional comment. Over. Currently Own a ‘23 model Streetfighter V2. In love with performance and its gorgeous looks. Over. In the process of trialing the V2 Panigale which is proving to be a step up in handling AND eye candy. All I need to convince the change is the wrist test….an afternoon ride and revisit the dealership for the next morning test ride to ensure my 60 year old wrists can cope with the racing posture required for the Panigale. One test already and I’m hooked other than the “next day wrist pains” that I’d anticipate. Hoping it’s bearable enough to take the plunge an go full on sports Ducati! Over.

[@vzndrvn]

That was sick seeing yall rip it in my backyard. Thanks for the content Josh!

[@darrylewashington896]

Josh! A fan of yours watching World Super Bike, firing it up the inside and taking home podiums. aye keep it moving bro

[@joshherrin]

Hopefully you are watching MotoAmerica also! I make an appearance there every now and then.

[@chiguy_]

good shit. awesome to see ya out just cruisin around. way to finally get something for yourself with the tiedown set up. keep up the fun and hopefully me watching I will learn some more.. cheers.

[@Knoxvillemoto]

Hey josh. Important question. Are there major differences between when you are riding on the street and when you are riding on track? Diferences between body possition, lines, lean angle, strategy, etc. I hear alot of people say do this on the track but not the street ... Id love to hear from someone who races at a high level but still rips it on the street. Glad to see that you're going to be posting on yt more.

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

Super cool group ride. Looks like a blast.

[@tylerwiberghs]

Bro please post more on youtube love your content!

[@R1ACE]

That wheelie was stupendous

[@joshherrin]

Thanks for watching the whole video! 😉

[@koopspook]

The burnout at the end too 😂

[@vicpnut1]

One thing i was never comfortable witH ,wheelies ..aside from a lil lift when under power …so it always amazes me seeing long (not to mention shifting while one wheeling) drawn out ones .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Milangeis]

Was an awesome day !!

[@drocdesmo]

What a fun day of riding for the Ducati Riders of Orange County members!

[@skatman3872]

Alot of wind my friend, glad your back

[@FlexFast]

Crazy how much I can relate to the start of this video. 💪

[@joshherrin]

Dude. It's the worst! I have always struggled with the self confidence when filming videos, but I just posted anyways. This one felt way better! That's why I always used to film my intros with "what's up fuckers" but I eventually had some sponsors who complained about it.

[@robertburks2126]

Size M Josh, I really do want one. Love that look. Great channel, new subscriber!

[@terratrodder]

Nice! We used to ride bicycles down that road back to my grandparents house as kids in the '70's, what a blast. My uncle would drive us up and leave us be. In hindsight, we should have had helmets. Oh well, the good ol' days!

[@wwgbert]

Always interesting to hear the mindset of someone like yourself. If I may suggest just open by saying "welcome back, today we are in " ". Just a thought to help slay the demon that our minds can bring up to kill our self confidence. And yes you are correct about most people do not subscribe to most creators channels, not sure why really. Have you done a tour of all your bikes in one place or your garage setup in general? That would be a cool video idea if not. I will check your backlog of video's, BTW I have been a subscriber for probably 6 or 7 years. Keep living life your way bud.

[@joshherrin]

Thanks for the advice and support over the years! Do you think a comparison video between my V4S and my V4R race bike would be cool?

[@wwgbert]

@@joshherrin IMO hearing your feedback about anything bike/ race related is interesting. Just like you mentioning the way you load your bike and why you wanted to get the right gear and what about that gear you liked. Most of us that watch you and other pro athletes only know small samples of why things are the way they are when you let us in. It is a win /win really because you grow your support base and we learn something we would have otherwise likely never known or heard straight form a top level professional. JMO of course. All the best.

[@jwhoa1733]

This is so rad!!!!thanks for showing us how it should be done

[@mikehancock6280]

I’ve been subscribed for a while and can’t remember the last time I’ve seen your videos.

[@chrisdecker8630]

Hell yeah we’re back in the van 💪🤘🫡🇺🇸

[@outsidein9809]

Wicked run and incredible bikes! Great vid

[@gostfalcon]

You need to get one of those Max wrist camera hook ups where it comes off the back of the bike looks like third person so much better than looking at a gas tank

[@vagnersteinindustries598]

Good to see you back on KZbin.

[@grumpydezgaming7941]

it was fun seeing you on track at alanta, i go every year.

[@joshherrin]

Thanks for coming out to the MotoAmerica races! Hope to see you at Barber on May 18-19

[@alanrodriguez7341]

He little guy!!! I like all your introductions. Oral communication is not easy. You do a good job. 😅

[@TroyBarnes84]

I've been watching you for a while. Love your content. Would love to ride with you if you're in Phoenix AZ sometime!!

[@tREVVA1]

Was GoPro on body harness for canyon ride footage? View wasn't particularly appealing to watch, sorry. Footage later from different viewpoint far better.

[@roadwarrior22]

Was Ducati upset about the only fans sponsor on the bike? 😂 btw I’m a king of the baggers fanatic, but your the only guy I root for on the sport bikes. Your personality and riding style are unmatched. This video shows how incredible your riding is seeing it off track.

[@troys8709]

Loved the video, would love a chin mount on the helmet way more than the chest mount.

[@MX109MX]

Check out the pitbull trailer mount set up. Very stable. I use them for my motocross bikes, as well as my sport bikes.

[@Slightapex]

Funny story: we camped at the last race last Sept., got soaked , wanted to meet Josh. When I was in the pits I finally saw him but he had just had a rough race and I could tell he was pretty upset so I just stood there like a little kid🤣. I don’t blame Josh at all, I wouldn’t have handled it as well as he did. Still it was awesome to see the races and all the riders!

[@koopspook]

How do you get tickets to races? I'm a street guy on bikes but never been to a pro race

[@barryvercueil2346]

Start by introducing yourself and welcoming existing subscribers. Easy does it.

[@raymadani270]

Josh is the man.

[@corbinroy4851]

We know who you are Herrin... You don't need an into 😂. Id love to see you ride good roads all over the country. Hearing your thoughts on the ride, bike, advice is always interesting. This is exactly the stuff I look for.

[@leeberry3155]

Yes Josh,get a small winch for the fan,help load it backwards 😎

[@Suprafanatic94]

I recently went up Highway 39 to the Crystal Lake Cafe about two or three days ago. I was on a way heavier bike than your Ducati. I'd like to see more rides up Azusa Canyon when you have the time. Forgot to say something about trying some chili when you ride up to see Adam.

[@brandnewamerican]

Awesome ride guys. Pretty jealous of those roads, nothing like that up here in central NY. Josh, come up to New York Safety Track this summer dude, id pay you for a day of coaching. Would be awesome to ride with you.

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

I put a 2/8 against the bottom of the seats. Put the front wheel against that!

[@joshherrin]

Dang! I never thought of that! Good thinking!

[@grindking4083]

love your content dont stop. I will have to check out OFTv, your a real person, Tv is fake edit so we like to see the real, stay your course!

[@mitobekrijo6878]

Ahh, good old Azusa!! Was visiting almost daily back in a Days, through MaxWrist Videos. Anyway, you should go all the Way up, to "the Tree". Well, next time...

[@rogerracinggarage]

I think you have two options for the intro and cutouts scene: 1. Talk to the camera like if it's a real person or even a crowd of people and you are showing something to him/them. 2. Being real, like if there is no camera filming you or you ar not filming, so act normally like you do when you do your thing and just let the vid show everything without your comment. Surely both have their type of audience and people have their preferences but also sure that whatever content you post or show on a vid, it's gonna have some type of audience, cos normal people like me can't live what you can... and obviously you are such a great person with good personality so... Just keep doing whatever you like, we'll watch for sure. 😜 (Sorry for maybe bad eng, italian here.✌🏻)

[@tobyh3681]

😆 Who all knew the middle finger was coming before it came?

[@Narsadisticproductions]

[@Thorniepanda]

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Josh had an only fans. Only to be disappointed seconds later when I found what he posts.

[@SO2011BR]

Yep....sickening. He seemed like a guy with integrity. Pretty sad he's proudly putting their name out there.

[@bencr53]

I’m not saying its your fault, but you signed my Blue R6 at Laguna Seca last Sunday… 15 minutes later it throws a rod bearing right before the last session 😢

[@ericteal]

Baxley wheel chocks or similar are very handy. More versatile than pitbull restraint system.

[@steveschimmel1104]

Dude "CONDOR WHEEL CHOCK" or "PIT BULL RESTRAINT SYSTEM" - check'em out !

I've seen them. I was looking for something that I didn't have to drill into the floor.

What is your favorite sport bike for riding on the street? For a novice to intermediate rider?

[@jmr5707]

23:54 55 southbound... looks like Santa Ana... Ducatti bound, typical SoCal traffic😩 Let's rewind, back to Azusa😎

Had to show the struggles too! haha

Hey Josh, do you know if OF is sponsoring any skydivers? I thought I had heard about someone getting a sponsorship from them - but I can't find them.

Cant see much, need a higher mounting point are you against a helmet mount?

[@loamtrailer805]

Nice riding! Do you ride GMR , miss SoCal roads!

[@Smi7h1sH3r3]

just wondering, since you can race full blast on a track, has it ruined riding for you on just a normal day-to-day basis? Is it still just as fun? Really want to do some track days, and will do no matter what, but have found myself wondering if it will somehow make regular riding go from chill to boring (if that makes sense?)?

[@joshherrin]

I was the opposite of you. I have been racing since I was 6 years old (I'm 34 now) and I didn't start consistently riding on the street until 2018. The track is and always will be where I get my fast riding. Street riding is my escape. It never gets old to me.

For the intro just go directly to the content. No talking or intro necessary. (Should just start at 6:30) If you absolutely want something at the start stick to under 10 seconds. Another camera angle behind the rider with a pole mount would be great. You're a sick rider!

Go to Ortega hwy Josh and meet great sets riders at around 9am at the Lookout Restaurant.

A cheaper non permanent solution for securing a bike is a freestanding wheel chock like Baxley, Condor, even Harbor Freight makes one.

Can you load it forward thru the side door then strait to the back. Like a snowmobile trailer.
