WHY I QUIT RIDING MOTORCYCLES AFTER 10 YEARS | WHEN IS IT TIME TO QUIT RIDING?

[@stevegaines-vq3bd]

I'm 67 now & own a 2022 MT07 & i will stop smoking pot/hitting THC carts shooting pool, golfing, & riding my bike when I'm dead....Until that day, I'm riding my bike a lot & i am a HOOLIGAN....Hit 100 or more every time i ride ....I rarely go on hiways....I live in a rural southwest Ohio area....Have made many mods, will post a video someday....

I quit long time ago because I didn't feel like riding around pointlessly.... And putting on all the gear an not being flexible was annoying. I had my first bike, Ninja 250R and then sold it even right before getting the official license. But I like watching this content on KZbin and when I sold my bike I told myself to never ever buy one again because I thought it was the biggest mistake. I knew that I like watching bike content and therefore tried to never forget to keep in mind that when I ever get the idea to maybe get a bike again, to just not do it.

[@Paramoto959]

So you live vicariously through KZbin 😎 you’ll probably live longer haha

Whenever you obtain a bike, own property, or have anyone that depends on you.... values change. If you want to ride, you need a life insurance policy that will pay off ANYTHING that you currently have. Example, if you buy a home valued at 500k, you need to have at LEAST a 750k policy to pay the residence off. Just because you crash and die does NOT mean you can't help them still. Set these things up prior to purchase of the bike. Assume you will have a 30 year term policy whenever you buy something with risk. No, I don't sell insurance. I manage risk for a living.

[@Paramoto959]

Good advice! 😎

[@jacobtkurt9607]

Agreed. 29, married with 4 kids. Work construction always wanted a bike but really cant justify getting one until my kids are older. After first one was born got a 1,000,000 policy on myself though.

[@Paramoto959]

You can get one and just ride safe?

[@jalapeno.tabasco]

went from a ninja 650 to a ducati 899 panigale and got a duke 790 naked bikes are so much more fun and comfortable, i cannot get enough of riding on nakeds, i can ride for hours

[@Paramoto959]

Ducati’s are amazing but like you said you can ride way longer on a naked bike. I loved my 959 but I don’t regret selling it at all. 😎

[@crazycrookerr]

hard damn choice to make. Riding was my life, just now recovering after an accident last year.... Im not scared, I just feel more informed. Some days I wake up wanting to get back to riding, other days I think I will never do Street riding again.... Im super conflicted. Im young so I got many years to decide

[@Paramoto959]

I thought I was gonna quit after my first accident… I ended up getting another bike as soon as insurance paid out.. life too short to not do the things you wanna do…

[@crazycrookerr]

@@Paramoto959 I totally feel the same way. But after my accident my legs fucked for life.... Still now slowly learning to walk again a year later.. Who knows maybe ill get back into it, all my friends ride, my whole life is riding. But im probably gonna take a break for a few years I think. Fuck I love riding man. I fucking love it. But the injury sucks ass. Im probably gonna be back against my better judgement, I love riding too much... If I had a family I dont think Id touch bikes again, too many young fathers dying leaving families behind. Gut wrenching,

@@Paramoto959 Just got 6 screws and a plate taken out from my wrist after 8 months of agony, not being able to brush teeth, play videogame, write, comb hair. All because a stupid lady in a Ram pick up steered to my lane without looking and signaling. Never gonna ride a moto again, people drive their cars like maniacs and they gonna land on you

[@BIKER-T]

I recently started riding and am riding a Ninja 500. I like that the riding position is similar to a standard bike. I might eventually get a 600 or 1000 if I'm enjoying track days, but before that I'm planning to get a tourer for road trips (after I finish paying off my Ninja).

[@Paramoto959]

Nice! Good idea, sport bikes are fun but a tourer is way more utilitarian 😎

[@guitarcleveland]

I live in Cleveland, too, and I'm about to sell my motorcycle after four years of riding because I blame other people for 95% of everything bad that happens nearly every time I ride. The people who DO see you are as bad or worse than the ones who don't see you. Like the people who tailgate you six feet behind you and refuse to back off, the ones who make eye contact with you but still pull out in front of you, and the fact that people know how dangerous their cars are toward you, but still don't care is what did it for me. I absolutely love riding, but people ruin everything in life because they don't care about anyone but themselves, and because of them, I just don't enjoy it anymore. It's pretty sad, actually.

[@Paramoto959]

I overcame the negativity, it’s been really worth it 😎

[@louiseitner916]

just spent all day on my supersport. had a blast. just thinking about it now makes me want to get out of bed and go ride again

[@Paramoto959]

Hell yeah! How old are you? And how long have you been riding!?

How do those mirrors work? I think I was looking at the same ones online

They’re good! Way better then stock, which just gives you a good view of your elbows lol 🤣

[@stank.nooner2987]

Been on my 22 MT07 since June of 22. I have a friend with a 23 MT09sp… it is also a hoot to ride, it is not as nimble, it feels a little more sluggish from the dig, sucker rips to the moon midrange and up though! I wouldn’t trade my 07 for his 09sp, just wish I had a true cruise control is the only major want!

[@Paramoto959]

Well that seems to be a pretty good review for the 07 😎

[@stank.nooner2987]

@@Paramoto959 important point of your video….. be honest with yourself, how do I really want to ride, and what is best suited to make me wanna do that? For me the 07 checks all the boxes and was cheaper and more fun than an 09!

[@Paramoto959]

@stank.nooner2987 agreed!! 😎

What if you quit writing after 1 month Because it's boring I mean nothing really happens?😢😢😢😢

@@Paramoto959 Well, this is the first video of yours I've ever seen. Unless the other videos are at least informative, not sure I wanna waste any more time just listening to someone's personal life jibber jaber. Sorry dude but that's how this video struck me. Leaving now; hope it all works out.

You understand motovlogging is literally riding around talking? It’s the entire point of the genre. It’s like complaining about people wearing black at a goth party…
