Why I Don't Ride Motorcycles Anymore (Testimony)

[@gregkern8739]

Literally 1 day after this video came out we lost a dear family friend that I would consider to be a nephew to a motorcycle accident. To all of you that think you are being a tough guy and brave and crapping on this artist that shared his personal testimony, I can assure you that if you saw the face of someone that you loved dead you would crumble like a sack of potatoes like I did! This video is not about motorcycles being dangerous, it is about listening to God when he sends someone to communicate to you. Giving up something you love to honor the wishes of the Lord is showing him your faith in him and recognizing his love for you to protect you, so that you may fulfill your purpose of why he created you. If God warns you not to do something, specific to YOU, and you do not listen....you are a fool. I woke up one day to having nerve damage on my left hand 4 years ago. After not being able to ride for two years because of it I sold my recently paid off Indian. I thanked God for allowing my arm and hand to be partially lame, I know in my heart that it would be better to be partially lame than to be dead or fully lame. I am stubborn so I am sure God had to allow this or I would have never made a change in my life. I am still damaged to this day but I am alive and able to spread the Gospel and to be here with my family. That Young Man that passed in the motorcycle accident, recently accepted Jesus as his saviour despite being of Muslim faith... what if the people that led him to Christ were not here and were not able to share to him? God knows all and is a loving God, he knows what is best and we need to listen to him! ----thank you for this video Jacko!!!!

Obedience is better than sacrifice. I am really blessed by this testimony. All Glory to God. Thank you.

Love your messages brother! God Bless you and keep running your race!!

[@DavidLee0227]

Brother, never seen your channel before.. but this really spoke to me. I’m going through something very similar. Obedience is what is needed. Thank you for your honesty. I heard God in your words. Blessings to you sir. 😎

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Humbled my friend, a lot of people are mistaking obedience for fear, when it takes a lot more courage to voluntarily give up what you absolutely adore for a greater good, the ultimate mission.

[@ss_whole]

Man am I glad God hasn't told me to stay off my bike.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Enjoy it for me too would ya 🥲

[@likeaflash-b2i]

God gave us the freedom of choice, he is not concern if you ride or not as long you are right before him!

[@masonshalom]

When God gives you a message you can’t deny what the puzzle your putting together becomes. You must obey your master. Forget coincidence and believe! Just watched your chipotle story and this one, you’re an awesome dude!

[@FortunateXpat]

Zeus told me to never stop riding. 😂

[@allwrong3114]

If he does, you'll know it.

[@OldSoulNewTricks]

Thank you for your inspiration. I’m a veteran as well and I’ve had so many Harley’s. God showed me how Harley’s has become a false religion for me and I was putting them before Him and everything else that should have been a priority in my life. He moved me to sell my last bike in 2020 and seek Him first. In obedience to Him He has restored so much that I sacrificed to ride. I miss riding but I enjoy everything else He has given me so much more.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

This is gold right here. That's what it's about! Yes sir 🫡 Thank you for your service, and yes, I too idolized Harleys as a false religion. Nothing wrong with the bikes, everything wrong in how we idolize things ✌🏼

[@raymonddearmas5412]

This is crazy, I been riding for a long time now and have been contemplating letting go of my motorcycle. I am a only child with two elderly parents, I am married with one child as well. This year has been a crazy year in that I have a lot of family needing my support. Everything fell into perspective for me and this was my last year riding and I will be selling my two bikes next year in the spring. Not easy for me because I really ride a lot and there is truly nothing like riding a bike. It’s good bye for now but when my child or future children get older and when they can care for them selfs I will be back in the saddle again.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Well said man, even if you don't get the chance to jump on it again, the bright side is you enjoyed a phase in your life you always wanted ✌🏼wise choice

[@catalinalee1]

My husband wanted to buy a motorcycle but for some reason I used to feel that he would have an accident when he get one. Now I am watching your video talking about it. Thanks!

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I pray you are all safe always 🙏🏼

[@catalinalee1]

@JackoLovesDrums Same to you, thanks!

[@yrubio3217]

As soon as I opened this video link I heard in my heart “I speak to everyone differently”. That is because not everyone is willing to give up what they love to honor God’s will.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

🎯 😮‍💨 😮‍💨 chills... ☝🏼

[@allwrong3114]

I gave up the bike too. Two years ago after being on a Harley for 28+ years. Never deny your instincts. When some spirit (whoever that spirit might be) talks to you, you have a choice. Choose wisely. On a related note; riding is infinitely more risky today than it was 20 years ago. People driving 4000 pound battering rams on the road while doing their social media have increased the preventable collision occurrence 50 fold. One of my reasons for hanging up the leathers was to reduce risk. I have things to do. We begin to incur risk everyday the moment we go out the front door. Controlling that risk is a matter of your values. Each of us has a different risk tolerance level. For me, our grand babies are showing up now. It's a good time for grandpa (only 60 years old) to be alive. Glad for the opportunity to ride over 300,000 miles. Be careful dudes.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

So happy you enjoyed that phase, glad you're with us to enjoy one of the best chapters in your life, being a grandparent 🙂 congratulations 🙏🏼

[@scottastell9415]

Bless you too. Love my ride group and the comradeship/ banter of fellow motorcyclists. I'm only 69 and haven't given up riding yet. Been at it since I was 16 and a bit. A mate Bob is 92 and still rides. He has a BM 700GS twin.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

@@scottastell9415 if that isn’t impressive! Fills my heart with joy sir 🫡 please enjoy every mile and stay safe 🏍️ 💨

[@thehomeless_trucker]

I scoffed at the title and thumbnail, thinking it was either clickbate or fear based.... I am so addicted to my bikes and have not been slapped in the face like that before (at least not yet). I really don't think I could ever give it up..... more power to you and your decision.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I pray for your safety always and forever brother, but please, no matter what you do, never put anything before the Lord in your heart, it never ever ended well for me 🙏🏼 it's much more difficult to deal with the consequence then.

[@robbyclark6915]

I started riding again at 51 when my youngest son Joshua decided to get his first motorcycle. I hadn't ridden since I was a teenager. We both got bikes together and started riding. Tuesday November 29th, 2022, he was killed on his motorcycle when a 79 year old woman who wasn't supposed to be driving because of her eyesight and recent heart surgery, pulled out right in front of him while he was doing 45-50 mph. He was wearing a full face, jacket, gloves, boots, everything, and the impact was so severe that he was killed instantly. I still ride my Harley LRS, but I know very well the risks im taking. You can do everything right, and still never come home again. The good news is that we are Christians, and my son is in heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ awaiting my arrival, so to speak. I will see him again, is the point, and we will never have to be separated again, eternally! Amen.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Waw, Rob I am so sorry for your loss, I'm heartbroken 😔 may the Spirit of our Loving and Living God comfort you and your family till the end of times at all times, I know you will see him again in the time when God sees best, and there will be nothing but joy and laughter. I only ask that you please ride safe brother, do the best you can, trust God and put Him first at all times. God bless 🙏🏼

[@robbyclark6915]

@JackoLovesDrums Thank you. Btw, I totally respect your decision not to ride and anyone else's decision, whatever it may be. My immediate response was to sell my bike and give up riding forever, but something truly amazing happened that changed my mind. It takes too long to go into in a comment section, regardless, I wish you the best. God bless.

[@giovannigiorgio8962]

I have some wild experiences that i could talk about. Things you can't even make up. More lives than a cat. God has been so good to me, He has kept me from the hands of evil yet some days are so challenging. It's very difficult sometimes just to keep going yet I know just can't give up. God bless y'all.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

When you feel like giving up, just rest in the Lord, take a break, let Him restore you to full capacity, and through His Holy Spirit, continue your journey brother 🙏🏼

[@MrBrittvideo]

This is a powerful truth, my friend. I have no idea who you are, but the Lord is definitely working something to the surface in your life. Obedience and fear are not the same. Not everyone can recognize that. Prayers for you. If i dont see you before, I'll see you in glory and I'm pretty confident you'll be riding the bike of your dreams there! Peace bro

[@JackoLovesDrums]

🥹 the Lord bless you brother, His name be praised 🙌🏼

[@waiheke109]

I find that working on motorcycles is the fun part for me Love riding too especially as i live in a rural area with a speed limit of 40mph so its relaxing.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Right on man, nothing like it 👌🏼

[@youarealwayslovedxoxo]

Beautiful testimony. I can see that it may have not been so much about a motorcycle accident but the Lord speaking to us to let go of things we hold above him. And you have something better, a family to focus on and the Lord himself.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Finally... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ShiftyTurner]

@husqami • 3w ago The top causes of death are cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections and cancer. To those who say my riding is risky, if you are obese, have high blood pressure, eat processed foods, and don't excercise, the mortality risk is materially higher than riding a bike. And riding a bike may help solve some of these risk factors for the major causes of death. If you keep things in perspective, riding is not a high danger activity (provided you wear gear, don't drink and ride, and practice your skills).

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Great point, I agree a 100%, riding is very therapeutic and not really a leading cause of death in a grand scheme of things. Those who ride know and i'm sure you do as well, it's not a matter of it but when something goes wrong. All my friends who went down either survived with a severe injury or didn't make it. Gear, classes and riding within one's means can help reduce accidents by 52%, I simply don't want to mess around and find out since I heard the message from upstairs crystal clear 😅 ride safe man, enjoy every mile ✌🏼

[@JMSAoG]

This dude is super genuine.

[@AdventureswithPatrick]

In 2018, I was prepping my adventure bike for winter storage when I felt the Holy Spirit come over me and say “this is done”. I started riding when I was nine years old and had gone on many one and two month long adventure motorcycle trips as an adult. The bike I had was perfectly set up for me and I put a lot of miles on it while traveling all over the country on big trips. I sold it the next week and didn’t look back until earlier this year when I decided to buy a new dirt bike. I told myself that the feeling I had from the Spirit was only for road bikes and not dirt bikes. I took new YZ450 to the track for the first time last weekend. As I’m laying here typing this message with three fractured ribs, bruised hip, and other injuries. I believe the message from the Holy Spirit was motorcycles in general. I was not looking for a video like this. It just randomly appeared in my suggested feed.

[@nellaoliver5435]

I hope that you heal soon and remember that God loves you and He'll be with you.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I am so sorry to hear you're injured brother I pray for your speedy recovery, God loves you enough to give you another chance 🙏🏼 waw what a message you wrote 🙌🏼

[@FabianHolzgreve]

Patrick, May God heal your body and your soul, may He give you relief from suffering, make your structure new, guide you on your further ways🙏🌸🍨🙏 Regards Angelika /from Fabians device

[@skyeeterpsn1420]

The ending about denying your hearts desires and that some things are better in a special place in your heart really spoke to me as I denied my hearts desires and broke up with my ex of 4 years because God told me she is not the one to marry. 4 months later she's still in my heart and it can be sad sometimes because I did love her but I know my life is better without her in it and am grateful for the memories and experiences gained when that thing was in my life. I know how you feel carrying something in your heart that cannot be in your life man. God is good and leading us to even better things.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I hear you man. But you know now that i'm thinking about it, it kind of feels powerful to say no to your own desires, you know? It feels like you have the power of God in you, gatekeeping only that which honors God in your life. It got burdensome in the beginning, till I understood (My yoke is easy, and my burden is light) Matthew 11:30. God bless you brother.

[@TracyBrown-ie5gj]

I always rode on the back with relatives since I was little, went to get my own license and took the Safety course and found out that "it is not whether or not you wreck, it's for when you do!" ...after I heard that, I was done!!! So, I hear you. It's always better to listen to God!!! He knows all things and really does want the best for us. He is a good GOOD Father!!!!❤❤❤

[@mattbroussard7409]

First, what band do you play for?!?!??! Second I believe that more than a safety thing God was keeping you from turning motorcycles into an Idol. I wiped out on a sharp curve back in August and severely broke my arm and the bike was totalled. I'm very blessed to still have the arm and even be alive. I'm starting to get my grip back and I'm able to pull in a clutch finally. This has been an extremely humbling experience. I've been riding steady since 2009 and this was my first spill and first broken bones ever. I love what you said about keeping God first and you described the feeling of riding perfectly! This was a great message stay safe. And please respond with your band info!

[@JackoLovesDrums]

You my friend are 100% correct. I truly was finding my identity in motorcycles and letting it define my presence and image, a big no no when we follow Christ, He's the one we must root our identities in 🙏🏼 I am very happy you are alive with us and are getting your health back, thankful for you. As far as music, I am the sum total of the band 😅 I'm a drummer but play a lot of instruments and try to sing, sometimes I hire incredible session musicians to do what I can't, here's my latest single brother, would love to know your thoughts! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqulmoCpeJybeZo

[@missymurphy9996]

I love your story of how you listened to God. I did the same thing in 2019. But it wasn’t motorcycles. It was a particular trope of books I was reading. I had almost 200 books in my possession. I boxed them up and put them in the garage and then I gave them to someone to dispose of for me. I never looked back.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Powerful 🙏🏼 that's how it's done! God first and foremost

[@sparkthego]

I ride (obviously my channel is dedicated to it). I've never told anyone this but there were times that God told me to stop riding for a while, it was difficult but there were also time i believe God is allowing me to ride. I believe everything is in the hands of God including our safety. But I am ready anytime that God speaks to me to quit as hard at it is to do anything God asks His way is always the best way.

[@Retriever-nk8nl]

❤ Ich hatte eine Nahtoderfahrung wegen eines solchen Motorrads. Ich werde für immer an den Folgen der vier schweren Verkehrsunfälle auf einem Motorrad innerhalb eines Jahres leiden, auch wenn ich die Begegnung mit Gott und einem seiner Engel um nichts in der Welt eintauschen würde. Aber ein Motorrad ist nicht nur ein Fahrzeug. Es ist ein Lebensgefühl. Ein Gefühl des Aufstands. Ein Gefühl der Freiheit und des Temporausches und des Adrenalins. Ein Lebensgefühl aber, das man wegen des fehlenden Aufprallschutzes mit der Gesundheit oder gar mit dem Leben bezahlt. Ich war damals nur 50 km/h schnell. Doch wenn Gott mich nicht bewahrt hätte, könnte ich diese Worte nicht schreiben.

dont start living in fear

[@JackoLovesDrums]

Not fear my friend, rather selflessness and obedience. Example, a person can't join the military if severely injured, injuries can happen from something as simple as skateboarding, riding bikes, even playing basketball. Does it make the person fearful if he chooses to keep himself in one piece for a greater calling, or wise? Us born again Christians face the devil everyday with courage and prayer, that's what makes riding a bike for us just "riding a bike". Takes a lot more courage giving up something you love for a greater good than allowing your ego to ruin your life. God bless ✌🏼

[@infesting]

Anyone that truly loves to ride motorcycles who says they're stopping for their own reasons is lying to themselves they're stopping because other people in their life want them to and they're giving in to other people and saying it's because they want to. It may be because you want to satisfy other people but the first thing in your life should be to satisfy yourself. If you can just stop writing then you never truly enjoyed it

[@gregkern8739]

First person someone should want to satisfy is the wishes of the one that gave them life. God speaks to each person differently and gives us guidance, it is best to listen. Not everyone needs to not do what they love but when the creator speaks to you, you are a fool to not listen.

[@likeaflash-b2i]

Correct! If someone would had told him to stop playing Drums for whatever reason the answered would had been nope. Now if drinking and riding was the thing then yes stop riding before you hurt someone else and yourself.

[@pastorleeford]

been riding for about 55 years now . The Lord got a hold of me April 7 1983 and I was sure I would never ride again. I lived in L A area most of my life then and never heard of a Christian biker. To make this short, He led me to a group of solid Christian bikers and I was patched in with them for about 6-7 years. I left the club and then in 92 I joined a ministry called Bikers For Christ. The Lord has blessed me so much in this Ministry . Not all Folks are called to ride and I thank God for your Testimony and pray where ever your called that you have His grace , peace , and comfort in your calling. Lord bless my Brother.

Thank you for your testimony, I too used to ❤️ motor bikes since I was introduced to DMX at the age of 15. I told myself when I got older I would be a Ryder. At the age of 20 I was so stubborn and arrogant that I stole my mothers credit card and bought a Suzuki 250cc that I didn’t even know how to operate it. Unfortunately I was on run from the police and the neighbourhood kids blew it up, that was God right there protecting me. I’ve never owned or learnt to ride a bike again but I thank God for the message 🙏🏽

[@bartk8672]

Bruh... You stopped because some random dude told you he lost legs doing stunt on a motorcycle? It's a far less risk to just cruise on street. Modern bikes also have more safety features. My pal flipped a bike doing wheelie at 60mph and had a slide on track and he is still fine and riding. You let the fear rule your life

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I'm glad your buddy's fine, I pray it doesn't take too many falls for him to start being safe. It's not fear that rules my life, neither is selfishness, rather God leads it. Turns out i'm needed around more than I realize man, ride safe ✌🏼

all my friends don`t believe in god, but i would have feeled the same way. I know it will be hard to get over it for the first 2 years, but as you say better to get over the loss of a hobby, than the lost of a limb or worse. I don`t know your channel but the best for your life sir.

Very much appreciated man, it isn't easy getting over it for sure, specially when i'm in the minority of my friend group that doesn't ride, but through God all things are possible, it's a choice you have to make.

[@alastairtheduke]

It's all a risk calculation. It's a very dangerous hobby, one of the most dangerous there is. I'm surprised you ended riding because a guy who jumped over buses lost his legs. Are you going to stop driving because someone mangled his legs in a car accident?

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I stopped riding because I got the answer that I was looking for, the risks involved in riding isn't worth my ability to walk, drum, workout, do what I do... Perfectly happy being intact last time I checked 🙏🏼

There is no perfect answer, but if this is right for you, then I wish you well.

Soo..... Some dude went and jumped his motorcycle in a stunt and he failed and lost his legs. His story of recklessness caused you to stop riding? That makes no sense. Wear a helmet and gear or clothing to help protect you. Dont be stupid? Its pretty easy to not do dumb stuff and i understand that there are other drivers that dont pay attention but seriously?

[@rjoetting7594]

Remember that even riding in a car or truck is taking your life into your hands. Every day, people die in cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even walking down the street. Most vehicle accidents are in cars and trucks. Unintentional poisoning is the leading cause of death in the USA, followed by vehicle accidents and falling. Trust in God and enjoy your life.

@@JackoLovesDrums I additionally have the point of view as a cyclist, different types of truck driving, different types of bus driving, fast cars, old cars, walking down the street and crossing the streets on foot - all of it in many different counties like for example: Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Holland, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Iceland.. Each country has different types of solutions and way of thinking. One thing that always "apply" - are dangerous drivers. However in some countries the way of thinking and school teaching includes good behaviour and respect towards community, which raised awareness and works as a fundament to prevent things to happen.. 😉☕

God just allowed me to buy a second motorcycle. It's the first time I have two bikes in my life (a naked and a scrambler), and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. The time may come when God tells me to stop but I hope it's not any time soon. The odd thing is that I was a metal drummer and God gave me the calling to leave that almost 8 years ago.

@@JackoLovesDrums It just goes to show God has different plans for all of us. I haven't thought of drumming as a tool of prayer, to be honest the way God guided me to devotion does not include music. The way I see it music is something humans love and therefore use as a means to communion but I find comkunication with God in moments of deep silence (external and internal). That's just my case and it may not relate to others.

I don't ride but what you said about "obedience over our own desires" really spoke to me. And the reward is always greater.

[@DsDex-zk1lx]

The truth will set you free. Don't be a slave to your cravings if it causes you to put God on the back burner. God has your eternal life in mind and an unimaginable future that nothing in this world can compare to. Even if your motive for not riding is because you don't want your family to mourn " IF" you become a statistic, then that shows you put others ahead of yourself. Selfish people can't comprehend that and therefore will ridicule you. So if people hate you because you listen to God then just pray for them so that they realize that without God who gives us life and breath and all things, motorbikes wouldn't even exist. We need to have respect for one another's decisions because we can't always know what motivates someone only God knows that.

[@JonShepard-x3d]

I have been riding since I was 15 my dad taught me on his 1972 electra-glide while the fellow in the wheelchairs story was a good enough reason to give you pause to stop riding then the logic would be for you to stop driving a car because you could lose any limb or your very life in an accident, and while I feel sympathy for the man in the wheelchair he made that decision to be a daredevil and make that jump that cost him his legs. I do not plan on jumping any cars,buses,trucks,airplanes, etc anytime in my life and when I ride my head is on a swivel looking ahead and not riding like an idiot while not the overall solution to never being in an accident does reduce the chances. I love riding and while it has a risk of injury, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute is more of a risk to your life all for the thrill of the experience. Enjoy your life as you see fit your concern is noted and touching but it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

[@JackoLovesDrums]

I'm sure in all your years of riding you've had plenty of close calls or seen people that have gone down, you're experienced enough to know that it's almost never the biker's fault. But I don't connect this case with a car or a plane, this in fact, looking at the bigger picture, is not about the motorcycle, but when God asks you to do something, it's in your best interest to obey, even if nothing was going to happen to me, I was attached to the bike so much that I found my identity in it which as a result turns into pride, and love the bike more than my Creator, a big no no. It's difficult my friend, willingly letting go of something you know you can have any time, but what a small price to pay compared to the honor of being alive and telling you about how much God loves you. I love dangerous hobbies a lot, but no amount of fun compares to the discipline of serving the ultimate mission. Life is more than bikes, and I don't expect everyone to be the same. ✝️ God bless you brother

[@JonShepard-x3d]

@@JackoLovesDrums I guess that is where we differ, My identity has never been wrapped up in my bikes or my possessions. I have been put down 3 times in my life and fortunate enough to not sustain injuries because I dressed appropriately and saw it coming. Since you shared your reason and belief I will share mine, I was 2 when I stopped breathing and died 2 York city policemen rushed me to the hospital across town took them 8 minutes to get me there I was turning purple when the officer shook me one last time and said breathe and I did, When I was 12 I splintered all the bones in my neck except the spinal column( sledding with my friends) I thought I had a stiff neck, after the x-rays the doc came in and said ( don't move until I get this collar on) I said (why?) he said ( you know if you'd turned the right way you'd be dead) I work for H-D Factory in York PA. for 26 years over 10 years ago I had congestive heart failure and thought it was the flu, when I went to Patient first they x-rayed me and said ( you need to go to the hospital now, that's fluid around your heart and fluid in your lungs you're drowning as we're speaking) I was in ICU for 12 days came home and went back to work I have had 1 kidney since the incident when I was 2 I was at work when I noticed I was not feeling well I went to the hospital and was told I am at stage 5 kidney failure and have to do dialysis until I can get a transplant or death whichever comes first and I have had a pacemaker put in me to improve my heart function, through this all God never asked me to give up what makes me happy and gives me joy, I ride to find solace my bikes are bare bones no radios, windshields or tech crap i have a truck for that. I ride and enjoy the sights of nature around me. The doctors had me on medical leave from 5-7-21 with a return to work date of 4-30-22 in February 2 weeks into the month I was informed by letter that as of January 1-22 was medically retired by the company no notice, nothing to warn me they were going to do this but it was a blessing in disguise I am now enjoying what I have worked for, I get to enjoy more time with my family and I get to ride anywhere I want anytime I want without having to punch a time clock. God does not ask you to sacrifice, that stopped with Abrahams' son and the sacrifice of his son Jesus on the cross for everyone's sins. I think if God would have spoken I would have been on that call, with everything I have been through in my life I think I have seen the bigger picture. There are 2 kinds of pride 1 you are proud of your accomplishments, family, children, etc. 2 Egocentric/envy pride thinking you are better than those around you and their lives and being a holy roller on Sunday and a Hypocrite on Monday. People say (GOD IS MY CO-PILOT) but in my case Death is mine it tugs at my elbow everyday. I never took anything for granted before these things happened to me more so now. My dad told me this at a young age ( Never wish yourself dead, death is an awfully long time, everyday you wake up breathing you win, you win another day to make a difference you might be lucky enough to see it happen or you may not even know you did it at all but in the end you are above ground and life is good.)
