@@Cody042 I guess state to state people ride safer? So people in Connecticut drive safer than people in New Jersey, but not nearly as safe as people in Arizona. Watch out for the riders from North Dakota they’re super unsafe. Lmao 😂 get real my dude. Do you smoke meth as a hobby? Apparently a few years ago there was a law preventing certain states from winning giveaway bikes and I’m just trying to find out if Florida is still one of those states.

Except Max risk has been to a track. He doesn’t go daily, or go like he should. But he has been. Max risk is more of an entertainer than someone to look up to like a lot of kids do. There’s plenty of better riders. But they are smart riders. And don’t intentionally cause crashes for views. Riding with max risk is riding at max risk. Ride your own ride. And ride safe.

#8 the guy who thinks hes soo good at riding, he starts a youtube channel. This witty, smart sounding fella always makes cool videos filled with good jokes about other riders. He believes his track riding expertise outright makes him the best rider type around. You will never catch him wearing regular jeans on a bike because he needs all the armor he can get for the street. He gives away bikes on his discord, which admittedly is very cool. Hes always pandering to the motorcycle manufacturers talking about get this parallel twin bike or that bike because thats what there selling ya’, superiority of an inline 4 be dammed. Canyon riding is too risky for this guy and don’t you dare go over 100 on public highways, its simply too dangerous. But there is hope, you can be like him and take your bike to track days because why not, we all have track day money right?😂

I have seen many an older man put their entire family and a full sized door or a bundle of steel tubes on their 2000s hero splendor that will run until the sun explodes in India. These riders do this on dirt roads in the rain without any gear and the throttle wide open. These are the true masters of the motorcycle.

Then there is the Performance Bagger Bro, the big brother of Dyna bro, who puts more money into his early 2000's Harley Davidson bike than what he paid for it. He lives for obscenely large displacement V-twin motors, racing inspired suspension, carbon fiber everything, and looking down on anyone who DOESN'T have t-bars because thats what the King of the Bagger racers use. He can usually be found at the local Harley Shop giving away unsolicited advice on what mods everyone should do to their bike while simultaneously bragging about how much all his mods cost.

you forgot the guy who has driven for 15 years without a drivers license who pulls up at a gas station near you, fixes 3 lose bolts on your bike without saying a word and then proceeds to just drive away like he just got a full tank of fuel. he looks to old to be pulled over, never drives when the cops are out and always takes the long but safe roads. they are some real legends.

[@michaelsloane1034]

Dude all your descriptions combined I think just described me I've gone thru everyone one of those phases lol

[@petercoene5930]

Yam, I'm loving it, but you left out the lone wolf rider who started on a 60's Vespa with a Stella engine 15 years ago because he liked the style and has loved vintage bikes ever since but never could afford them. He briefly owned an '87 BMW R65 that he found on Craigslist for a song but ended up selling it just as cheap because the parts were going to cost more than the bike and he had to move to New Orleans anyway but he still wishes he had kept it. After totaling the Vespa he got a modern 150cc Taiwanese clone of a CB125 because the company that made it used to be the manufacturing plant that made the original, and he seemed to need nothing more and would have ridden it forever but, being New Orleans, it got stolen and he descended into a dark place. He couldn't afford the late 70's/early 80's CB750 he wanted to cafe out to replace it, so instead blew $1500 on some early 90's Nighthawk that he got some help from a buddy to make road worthy again and now it's his daily raider. And when I say daily, I mean he can't afford a car on his dishwasher salary. Despite being too proud to ask anyone who cares about him for a handout he still manages to scratch together the dough to keep the bike running, at least fixing/replacing parts whenever they fail, causing him to occasionally take an embarrassing skid. But he always gets up, dusts himself off, fixes up the bike as best he can, and keeps riding. He could go into a lot more detail but should probably stop talking in the 3rd person and a lot of the other details of his life are too painful to relate as a youtube response.

[@maxamps45]

the "long way to coffee shop" that is true. I've seen crf1100 riders taking our diversion road to the malls and market to buy stuff. this diversion road adds 20Km to your trip. it's a scenic route but it's long and empty.

Now I guess I'm a "Long Distance Rider", but I take exception to the "Goldwing or K1600, no exceptions". You totally left out us sport tourers. I've put in hundreds of thousands of miles on a GPz1100, and now on a Concours 14, and yes, I have done an IBA Saddlesore. These days I just commute 2 hours a day and ride on weekends, haven't done a LD ride in a while....maybe I'm not a true LD rider anymore because I've been to all my kids graduations.

Part 1 - I do high milages but on bikes with minimal or no fairings on the whole. Part 2 - I have a Himalayan for fun and mild off-roading The other parts don't apply, thankfully!
