traffic battle in NEW YORK CITY - splitting in PEAK RUSH HOUR v1869

Somehow, someway - this is my favorite. Going into the THICK of traffic in midtown Manhattan as I snake my way past cars, pedestrians, trucks and just life in general on my way to NJ through Lincoln Tunnel. A touch of Williamsburg to the bridge, across Lower East side to the West and then making our way up towards Midtown through Chelsea and Hudson Yards. I love this town and Its a pleasure of mine to share it all with you. THANK YOU, as always, for your time, comments, views, subs, support of all sorts. Just thank you. If you read this far let me hear you say #trafficbattle

You are seriously a great driver! Navigating and splitting through traffic like that. Props! And I can't think of how many minutes you shaved off the arrival time by being on a motorcycle and splitting like this. A LOT I think.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you kind sir - and yea, I shaved off like 45 minutes in this quick run :)

[@ajohnsonnyc]

you are one of the most fearless bikers in NYC. Looking forward to meeting you one day at two wheel tuesday.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you sir. I really should do another meet up.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love that city and the awesome traffic cutting with that Duc. Amazing - thanks. Wahoo!

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you a million

[@ivanhoe64]

You are a beast in traffic, mad skills brother!! Keep them coming. Be safe!!

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you very much, you are too kind

[@michaell2168]

That was some impressive riding. Riding in the heat is the absolute worst.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you kind sir - and yea, worse than freezing cold tbh.

[@johnobrien8542]

Some spicy maneuvers! 👍

[@ducatinyc]

it had to be done

[@sportstermissions]

When I think of New York City, I think of the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn bridge and DUCATI NYC VLOGGIE VLOGS!

[@ducatinyc]

My mans 🙌🙌🙌

[@gabkae8067]

Great Greetings from Switzerland

[@ducatinyc]

Greetings right back from sunny NYC

[@daryl1768]

That damn tunnel was making me feel claustrophobic just watching.

[@ducatinyc]

It gets to me too once in a while

[@deanroberts2021]

Love this video mate , I'm sure it's frustrating as hell to ride in but it gives a real deal of the hustle & bustle of riding in New York & maybe a taste of life of what an average Joe commuter deals with 🙂. Really enjoyed, thanks for your amazing work 🙂

[@ducatinyc]

To be honest i LOVE LOVE riding in thick traffic like this (when i'm in the mood) - like my boys and i say - its a puzzle you gotta figure out, there is always a move.

[@ashpunting]

That was a nice lesson in lane splitting and getting around traffic. And i noticed the guy doing the backtracking on the sidewalk 😅😂

[@ducatinyc]

Haha yea man, i had places to be and people to see :)

[@mikemiller774]

That was intense! Great riding.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you, thank you

[@ChaseJasperDown]

#trafficbattle Nice ride today. Lot's of traffic, but you definitely know what you're doing. That wide body Tesla was sick! You've definitely gotta watch the cursing. Back in the day, every other word I said was a cuss word so I had to clean it up. Another savage run bro! Thanks for sharing.

[@ducatinyc]

I like cursing but all the pointless ones gotta be cleaned up. Gotta curse with purpose :)

[@ChaseJasperDown]

@@ducatinyc Damn right!

[@flatlanderfl]

Moving thru that standstill is a beautiful beautiful thing!

[@ducatinyc]

The reason to have a motorcycle. Its a must.

[@flatlanderfl]

@@ducatinyc abso-flippin-lutely! There’s some chick stuck in traffic on the phone talking her bf’s ear off when you casually roll by and she’s like, Omg can you believe the nerve of these motorcyclists? 🤣😂

[@ahhx]

Love the splitting skill!! I had a question, did you have to remove the bar end weights inside the grips to install your bar end mirrors?

[@ducatinyc]

I did remove them but you do not have to, you can keep them.

[@mikeandmona6584]

Nice street splitting. Just got back from riding down to the beach on Sunset.

[@ducatinyc]

I havent been to the beach in so long. I'm overdue.

[@aftermath8p]

Everyday I ask myself why do I have a plate with these damn speed cameras and tolls. Finally tucked mine tho hopefully it helps a little. Also I love exactly like that through traffic and all the way from BK up through 6th Ave to work everyday lol, whenever I leave the city I’m like this is easy peasy.

[@ducatinyc]

Yea man, I wonder why i got my plate sticking out as well. Gotta fix that

[@IceAce1]

Great riding through that mad traffic. I follow this other channel and he's always swearing in greek, perhaps condition yourself to such. 😄

[@ducatinyc]

Ha, not a bad idea :)

[@sergiososa5855]

👌👌👌👌👌!!!!excelenttt men

[@ducatinyc]

THANK YOU :)

[@rgboss1337]

NYC is such a beautiful city! It´s on my bucket list to visit big apple someday. Greetings from Germany and keep up the great work.

[@FxRiderST]

What's so beautiful about it? :)

[@rgboss1337]

@@FxRiderST The skyscrapers are cool. Here in Europe we don´t have many cities with skycrapers (even big cities like Munich, Hamburg, Cologne don´t have skyscapers and just Frankfurt has a skyline but it´s peanuts compared to NYC or some Asian areas).

[@FxRiderST]

@@rgboss1337 Oh, you mean these huge super tall, glass (well, mostly glass) buildings. I see. Yeah, I get it. German big cities are mostly new were rebuilt after the war. But to me the warmness and charm of the European cities like Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Prague, etc... and also these cute charming small European villages are awesome.

[@rgboss1337]

@@FxRiderST Yeah that´s true. I live in a small town by myself which wasn´t bombed in WW2 and we have buildings here that are over >600 years old ( of course they were renovated couple of times).

[@ducatinyc]

You would love this town. That said - I would love to return to Germany one day - only been to Berlin.

[@mr2dsp]

They Should Legalize Lane Filtering In NY bec there are no point of having stuck in traffic

[@ducatinyc]

100% agree

[@MrMistermoges]

"what up g" best part. 9/10 needs more cussing.

[@ducatinyc]

Hahaha It had to be said.

[@MunroLrd]

How does the suspension do on the bumpy streets of New York? The stock suspension is great on good condition roads and sporty racetracks, but it's far too hard and uncomfortable on old, patched and potholed roads. Thats my experiences on Bangkok roads...what do you think?

[@ducatinyc]

I think the stock suspension on the Monster 937 is terrible to be honest. The S2R 1000 from 2007 on my other bike is better. I will most deffinitely be putting in new cartridge in the front and shock in the back.

[@xl000]

how wide is your vehicle (or your shoulders ? ) at it widest point ? on the camera it always looks like it's barely going to pass

[@ducatinyc]

It’s the fisheye effect of the GoPro camera, there’s always a lot of space

[@FxRiderST]

Is this bike runs more hot than the older one?

[@ducatinyc]

Most definitely not, new one is much cooler

[@keltecdan]

Squid splitting banana splitting.

[@ducatinyc]

Nerds gotta nerd.

[@thumpertorque_]

5:22 I couldn't understand what he said.

[@ducatinyc]

He said, it’s going to be tough going down that way

[@mellon3505]

New exhaust for the content please

[@ducatinyc]

Lets start with the decat vids which will drop soon ;)

[@Mr300OG]

😉

[@ducatinyc]

Hola

[@David-bf6pl]

Time for some Liquid Ice?

[@ducatinyc]

What is that?

[@markweathersuk]

That last ten minutes before the tunnel… 👍🏽 Have a great day.

[@ducatinyc]

Yea man, it was a climax :) I just had to keep it going.

[@MC-qh6fh]

Dude! Get clubman handlebars and ditch the bar ends.

[@ducatinyc]

Deffinitely no to clubman or clipon bars, i ride long distance, and my barend mirrors are awesome. They fold in. I'd rather hit a mirror than end of my bar.

[@MC-qh6fh]

@@ducatinyc I rode w clubmans for years in NY on an RD400. Since they are so narrow you can slice between anything. I was at first skeptical as you are about the comfort, but it's not like that at all. Try sitting on a bike with them.

[@ducatinyc]

@@MC-qh6fh i have. No way could i do multiple 500 mile days in the row w them. Just not for me. But i know folks love them

Show us you face super hero of NYC 😂💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

HA. NAH. But you can see it on my Patreon.

[@jedi1793]

@@ducatinyc 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 greetings from Milan Italy 🇮🇹 go Ducati go!!!!!

[@ZediMaster]

You, cursing 2 much??? I find that hard 2 believe. You're not even a sailor...😂😂😂 Anyway, ride safe, god bless u.

[@ducatinyc]

That's what I"m saying - I don't even know any curse words.

[@KeepOnRecord]

why not just censor the swearing?

[@ducatinyc]

Its extra work. Maybe there is an ai plugin or something

[@KeepOnRecord]

@@ducatinyc Wait, you upload directly from the gopro sd card? With no editing whatsoever? Add a sound effect over the swearing, because KZbin can't make money off your content and might suppress it as a result. Editing is worth it I think. How big is the 4k footage usually?

[@ducatinyc]

@@KeepOnRecord editing takes time, obviously, I edit I don’t upload from SD card, editing out swearwords would take even more time

[@KeepOnRecord]

@@ducatinyc If you agree to post it, I'm going to make a censored version of this clip a bit later. Just because I'm curious how it would fare compared to an uncensored one. I use blender for video editing, dunno if it takes that long🤔, we'll see

[@ducatinyc]

@@KeepOnRecord I post videos pretty much every day, so yeah, one video would not take long, to do it every day would take forever

[@motomitch]

Honestly, what's the point of checking that box of whether or not your video is intended for kids if they're gonna demonetize for vulgarity? I assume you check "no, it's not for kids".

[@ducatinyc]

Of course. Def not for kids.
