Top 5 Motorcycle Life Hacks (Part 4)

[@FortNine]

Huge thanks to the guy that showed me the Timmies hack! You know who you are :) ~RyanF9

[@TheBalija1]

FortNine Can you please do Best beginner bike tyres (>300cc category -(fornt 110/70-7 rear: 140/70-17)). many thanxs

[@CanadianMotoGal]

FortNine seriously what a great idea...totally could have used that last year.

[@samyfay7786]

You are most welcome Ryan. I liked the ways you disposed all this coffee. Maybe see you again next summer. Cheers from Ottawa.

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

2 Extra large ZipLock bags to put over your boots to get your rain pants on, or to keep important things dry if you don't have a waterproof backpack/jacket.

[@azimpetra]

Kill Switch Off also. Magnets. Ziplock with magnets in it, stick on tank while riding.

You gotta give it up to Ryan (and crew), They work for an online shop and made a great video that is actually not selling anything!

other than the whole thing is an ad for their store

Adam Efrat given it is their channel...yes lol

I've been watching this dude for ages and had no idea he was part of on online store. Guess the advertising thing hasn't worked too well.

Hockey puck stand holders? Timmy Hoes for gas storage? Flannel? Maple Trees? Can you bottle any more Canadien into a single video? God bless all you crazy moose people! ;)

[@tommy605]

Disappointed. He left out backbacon and curling. Not sure how he would have worked those in, but still....

[@joshmayne2853]

well, i mean, you could use a curling stone for a kickstand support or a brush to scrub the bugs off your headlight. and the bacon you across your tailpipe to cook while you are riding.

[@Natemire]

Andrew Baumann a thick slice of peameal would make a great (and biodegradable for the exo-conscious) kickstand pad. you could also remove the handle from curling stones to make replacement hand holds for your pillion rider.

I'd love to see someone riding with bacon on their tailpipe #lifehacks #breakfasttogo

[@RoleOurVideoNow]

Well I'm glad I watched RIGHT UNTIL THE END!! That plastic bag trick over your boot is F@#king genius!! I've had this problem riding to and from work on random occasions and it's a damn pain trying to take off boots to put rain pants on!! I literally just went and put my riding gear on to try this and it's GENIUS!! I'll now ride with a plastic bag with me until I die!! 👌

[@AUTOT3KHCL]

pop can crushed works pretty good for the kick stand as well

An important thing to add to the half a potato trick is don't just cut the potato in half and rub on your visor/shield, peel it first, because dirty potato skin has fine sand and grit on it, you don't want this to scratch your visor.

[@paulgianni]

Great tip, thank you!

[@ratdrayton]

i've never seen the jerry can hack but in the uk its illegal for fuel stations to allow people to fill up using non-eu certified fuel containers

[@bbqBaconNinja]

Same in Canada, but go to a self-serve and they don't say anything.

[@ratdrayton]

Over here we can't do that as the pumps get authorised by the staff

[@bbqBaconNinja]

I wasn't gonna say it but.....go to ones with East Indians working and they don't say anything. They have to turn on the pumps but they don't give a fuck or even really know what is legal or not. Ask them where the emergency shut off is and they stare at you blankly.

[@burkerow]

You're correct, you probably get flagged if you try to fill it in a fuel station anywhere. Where this hack comes in handy is if you run out of fuel and you can siphon some gas from a buddy's bike or from a car. Siphon the gas into the bag, and then transfer it into your bike.

[@colinkutz5930]

OR... don't be an idiot. Go to the gas station with a gas can. fill it up. bring it home, dump into coffee bag before you leave for your trip.

[@deliriumskid]

Great hacks and thank gawd the product quality is back - Lov it! Keeping it funky and educational at the same time!

[@camrenraymond258]

There's no way that hotel card hack will work in America, someone will think it's a credit card and take it.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

That's not the only issue. I bought a stand, it was like $7 and it has two features that the card won't, one is that it has a little ridge so that the kickstand is less likely to slip off. The other one, is that it came with a hole drilled for a string. I can drop it on the ground and put it under the kickstand with my foot. When I want to ride away, I can retrieve it via the string. And, I always keep it under my rear seat just in case. It's a bit of a pain, but it means that I don't have to worry about holding the bike up while I place it.

[@damnfk063]

@@SmallSpoonBrigade where and what is it. Where do I buy it

[@TheGreatCasey]

man your videos just get better and better!! Keep at it!

[@Paiadakine]

One tip, if you are going to ride in the wet without waterproof boots, you can slip your foot with socks on over a plastic bag then into your boot. Keeps your socks from getting wet and it also helps keep them warm. Does nothing for your boots tho. Snow Seal what what we coated our boots with to keep them waterproof.

[@AbhinavBhatnagar11]

I have been binge watching your channel! It's that good.

I've been using a hockey puck for years, only drilled a hole into it halfway trough to counter that elevation change a bit also 3 shallow holes on the outer rim to get few sharp corners to grip even on wet grass. The puck goes nicely under the seat anyway.

Use laundry softener (local variation of Lenor etc) as water detergent on visor. Works very well for cars when mixed with water for windshield spray.

[@doronikgjcs]

Well damn. The side stand hack and that wet boot through rain pants hack is the shit. I hate hopping around on one foot trying to coax a wet boot through. Well done.

[@jockmacdonald6736]

I carry a junction-box cover for my kickstand expander. It is 4+ inches in diameter and 10 gauge steel and will never melt, fold or collapse even under the weight of my Victory Vision on a sunny day in July. Added a bit of string with a loop around the handle bar and I can pull it up and store it in the dash pocket while sitting on the bike with a passenger on board. A hotel card would be toast...or goo.

[@mickeypopa]

Wouldn't it be funny if, as a result of this video, Tim Hortons started making their coffee bags out of gasoline-certified material? lol

[@vadimkovalenko9637]

Thank you so much for your hard work and awesome videos :-) I was using empty oil qtrs as gas emergency carrier and did Iron Butt ride twice with no issues. But I really like your idea with coffee reservoir :-) and appreciated very much. Thank you.

[@lxlRestInPeacelxl]

Not to be needy, but where is Part 5 Ryan? We are waiting =) By the way your videos are the best, writing, editing and all in all quality is worthy of red carpet events and trophies.

[@milescorporosus4058]

Or if it were sequel number 4, then it'd be part 5.

[@examancer]

Great videos! Stashing a crushed can somewhere on your person or bike is much better than a hotel key.

The bag on the boot trick for putting on the pants is good. I might have figured it out in 5 more years.

There is usually some garbage around like old coffee cups or a pop can to use for your kick stand if you are in a pinch. Can't tell you how many times I've done that.

[@Skorpychan]

The plastic bag idea is GENIUS. However, I picked up a multipack of plastic stand pucks for about £10. Much larger surface area than a keycard, without wallet clutter. If I forget it, there's the old trick of using a crushed beer can. Or a squished plastic bottle.

[@recyclebills]

A crushed beer or soft drink can makes a great pad to go under your side stand. And for a motorcycle jerry can I use a RED stainless steel water bottle. I carry my water in a blue water bottle.

[@Jason.W.]

Any hacks for tire water sprays? Ever since I did my tail-tidy on the FZ09, it's been spraying my back/bag like crazy during even the slightest rain.

[@billyjahn]

Instead of a coffee container here's what I use in the UK and Europe when touring. A Condom, rubber or what ever you call them over there. Simple and very small to carry. Simply place in a sock to support and fill up, job done and will hold about 2 to 3 litres. I also carry about a metre of 6mm hose (Pipe from an tropical fish aquarium is perfect) to siphon from another bike if necessary. Much smaller.
