To be fair; as a professor we don’t want to be there either sometimes

[@tytactical156]

As a freshman in college who rides, I absolutely understand the aspect of not wanting people to touch your bikes. But if you are willing to accept the risk i think it's a great thing to do. When you have a bad day at school or are stressed, being forced to think about one thing that you love doing is a great way to break out of the doom and gloom. And if the majority of the time I'm spending on the road is to school I would rather spend it on a bike I love.

[@thoughtaken]

agreed, wish i wasn’t so anxious when it comes to leaving my bike alone by itself so i could enjoy commuting on them

[@sleezy5914]

@@thoughtakenAlso I feel like it probably isnt as bad for people who arent well known tiktok bikers. I feel like people are more likely to touch your shit if you are well known.

[@oOJakkeOo]

@@thoughtaken A brake disc lock takes some of that tension off! If you get one with an alarm, people won't even be able to touch the bike without the alarm going off.

[@Dubb_]

Loving the longer form videos, much more enjoyable to sit and listen to you and the bike than going through multiple shorts at a time.t

[@joetheaugustine]

I have this cheap Chinese electric motorcycle that I ride everywhere. I've had it for a year and only now did I just learn that it has a steering lock. Thanks for teaching me something new!

[@milbin1795]

I was so excited when I realized my bike had a steering lock lmao

[@complex136]

I do like watching your riding content, and it seems that whenever you’re riding, you have something thought provoking to talk about. Best of both worlds.

[@beleeboo]

It's so nice to hear someone with such a similar mindset. nice to know that theres respectful and educated guys like you. ☺️

[@stevevarholy2011]

Wait until you are in grad school and come casually strolling into a 90 minute class every single time 30 minutes after it started. Then, you ace the final exam and get a letter of congratulations from the professor. You run into him in the cafeteria line and thank him for the letter. He then scowls and goes "oh, that's YOU."

[@B1aidd]

Working 2 jobs in school to be able to get my first bike. Very excited! Long road ahead but hopefully soon. Also as a francophone myself, I love seeing other people learn french. Really is a beautiful language.

[@Billyrussell0948]

Hey I’m a hvacr guy been doing it since I was four with my grandfather I now own my own company got a nice classic truck and five bikes soon to be six and a boat the trades have been great to me and I love it

[@levenloos6861]

I also just love to ride to school on my R6 too! Love the MT-07, getting the MT-09 in a lil bit

[@BeBetterThanThat]

Thanks for this video Matt, I’m a senior in HS and just recently purchased my first bike. Although I am itching to ride to school because I love it so much, I’m anxious as to what may happen to it when I am not there. It sucks but after this video, I will probably not ride to school and keep the riding to myself.

Love this style of vids. The scenery is beautiful, and the topics you discuss and your train of thought are interesting. Duolingo may help with french, even though I took french at school, I still find it a great tool for passive learning.

[@cooperdoy]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO! It was nice to hear you just talk about the world and your opinions ❤ I. Want. More.

[@tookie0tookie783]

I loved this video man. The realness and honesty that you give is amazing and that I rarely see ever💀. I love the message you gave. Keep being you man. This was a really cool and chill video to return to your channel to

[@ATFprdepartment]

2:05 love the “I’m just gonna have to-“ *sways over the double yellow, instantly cuts back to legal riding*

[@kaiotikworld8945]

Some of us are not rich and ONLY have a motorcycle (an older one) and had to/have to ride to work and school and every where; rain or shine. 12 years later and about 10 bikes later, this chick is still riding to work, and I enjoy it to this day. When I drive a truck or car I feel weird and almost will fall asleep if I drive in bumper to bumper traffic or even if I’m on the freeway for an hour going a steady 80mph. I have to have the windows down on the freeway to keep my brain stimulated.

[@marek-ustinadlabem9139]

I have absolutely no idea what it's like in America but I live in the Czech Republic in the middle of Europe and here you can ride your motorcycle in front of the school all you want and I'm 89% sure nothing will happen to it people here have a lot of respect and are more likely to be happy to look at it rather than sit on it or destroy it.

[@marek-ustinadlabem9139]

but the school system you have there is cool i think 🙏🏻

[@Vampire_Gurl1864]

These videos are so relaxing🤞🏼

[@Sharp_Spoon]

I loved this video format. Thank you and God bless😊

[@Kriiga]

Love your content!!!! Keep it up!!!!

[@emethysts]

the longer videos are super chill to watch, keep them coming 🤞

[@theunluckycharm9637]

1:07 You have .7 gal reserve tank dude look at the owners manual

[@weaponson3-158]

I’m commenting again to say I love your commentary at the end. You listen to Dave Ramsey like I do that’s cool and the world is not fair. Great insight, man.

[@Senko1800]

I like the fact that you actually respect the traffic rules . Atleast from what i've seen si far " i just started the video".

[@Ka7exK.G]

Nothing is better than doing the thing you love and it also happens to be your job too. I completely agree with it.

[@SpudsMcCat]

the ladt vestige of "I'm immortal" tends to disappear around 24-27, after that people tend to chill and mellow out

[@shazaessam694]

Thanks for posting even though you have school ❤

[@romeotaylor]

Great video dude! Thanks for taking us on another great thought provoking ride! Currently living out my motorcycle dreams through your videos! Next spring my guy! Next spring we’ll have the bike. Thank you for the inspiring videos!

[@KhoaNguyen-fz4lq]

The only string that connect me with boring college classes is riding motorcycle to school tbh

[@ivett1213]

enjoyed the vid! love both this content and the other type too, both are nice in their own way this vid was more calming and casual talk, interesting stuff u were talking about, and cruising with good vibes, keep it up!

i’m ngl senior i was skipping here and there but once it got close to graduation it hit me that i was gonna be done so i stopped doing that

[@kimberlyquintanilla5493]

Matthew the "Old Soul". Yes sometimes people are not my favorite either. I stick to dogs. I also have anxiety about leaving my possessions where people have access to them.

[@chloevega5711]

I’m in my 2nd yr of college and am DYING to get a bike😭called my mom today and told her my plan to save for one, and am hoping to take the msf course at Christmas. Completely agree about not wanting to go to class some days too. 3/5 of my courses are online this semester💀

[@marii_darling]

RIDE SAFEEE

[@dylanalley3876]

First video ive seen of yours, and although i never went to college i resonate so much with everything youve said about not bringing your nice possessions to gatherings or anywhere the general public is because there ARE disrespectful people everywhere and it sucks

[@MexicanSanta]

I'm 26 and on my 3rd college. 1st was an AA in Automotive engineering, second was welding trade school, and now in comercial diving trade school. After all 3, I finally found what I love and that's diving. So I guess what I'm trying to say, is for all the yong people out there. Don't be afraid to try multiple things in life and find what really makes you happy. Cause before those schools I was in the Army, did I love it, yeah I did. But I wanted to find something that made me happy and sometimes it takes one degree and sometimes it takes 3. So go try everything you want to and find that dream career that makes you happy in life.

[@nickmanino3575]

Appreciate your service and advice bro. I'm about to go on ETS terminal leave next Friday. Going back to Cali, kinda overwhelmed by the options and opurtunity but we shall see!

[@NinjaOnMT]

Lovely video ! And realy good conversation enjoyed a lot !

[@jtaylorb88]

The single mirror and my OCD lol. I do the same worrying about riding my bike to work with it being next to a busy highway anyone could load it up and be in the next State. Im checking the window every chance I get.

[@claxxfied]

Okay as Someone who lives in a place where motorbikes are stolen Immediately if left without external devices. Things to get A monimoto Tracker - (Or any external Tracking device, an apple airtag will do) the monimoto Has an Alarm that pings your phone when moved(I.e someone sitting on it) and a Keyfob to disable it when your in VERY close proximity. A disk Lock Preferably made by Oxford like the Oxford Screamer will make a Loud Obnoxious scream (like 120db) that will draw attention to the bike that it is being handled outside of the Owners intent. Further than that if your lucky enough to have a Bike/bicycle Parking area they will typically have a fixed Structure like a pole or Mounting rack that a Chain like any of Oxfords lineup will be chained to. And in many parts You will not get a ticket as any ticket inspectors can see your obvious Lack of trust in Society :)

[@chillwithkea]

Love the sound of the mt-07. Great video as always brotha 🔥

[@Abdul-wahaabKhalil]

Daily life content would be good it's a lot more chill and relatable especially since I'm a rider who also goes to college.

[@Crexx1]

How did you guys find what you what you want to do? I’m 22 and still have no idea, the only things right now that I like to do is play video games with my friends ( the only way I have to be with them since I live in another country) and soon ride motorcycles (will soon get my license) would love to hear how you found out what you like to do and how you made that your job. (Bad English, sorry)

[@kidlo2050]

Tbh as a 22yr old blue collar(Welder). You will make the money quicker than a college student but it will take a toll on your body both physically and mentally but doing something you love makes life worth living and that found my love for motorcycles.

[@ecto8068]

from the uk, just bought a split new bike with all my money and the anxious feeling you talk about is so real here, my family always asks why I don't ride to school anymore but the time from locking up my bike and taking all my gear off im late and i don't wan to go to class incase my bike is gone when im in class😭

[@NikkoCruz1]

I hate the traffic right there in Sville I deal with that every day on my way to work

[@GODZzFLAME2343]

I can relate to this brother and I deal with this at my college and the same age as him.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Fun vlog! As for me I like to commute to work. It's not necessarily faster indeed, but definitely enjoyable. Especially when hitting some traffic on the highways or within city bounds. But riding out for fun, or a trip with or without destination or to a motorcycle dealership to get a coffee look at bikes, hang out and look through gear, or just ride to go eat somewhere are definitely more enjoyable.

[@Rylaaa16]

I want someone to worry about me the way you worry about your bikes 🤣💀

[@boosted_dante]

I ride this same way through the metro parks love reviving it through 1st under that bridge right after the stop sign.

[@GamerofSirs]

I am also studying Environmental Science in college here in Florida, hoping to specialize in hydroponics and aquaponics. I hope that more people will get into the field, especially with the long-term effects we are starting to see from climate change. I enjoy listening to your videos in the background while studying and taking notes. Keep up the great work!

[@crashhappy7296]

Wish I had a bike in college. I held off because I couldn’t afford it, was paying for the education myself (and loans and grants, just no parental monetary support). Finally graduated, got a job and just got my first bike. So worth it.

Depends what country you in

Yo! I felt this. I’ve commuted to work a few times and stressing about it. Is it still there? Is it still there? all day long almost isn’t worth it.

[@mlaw7556]

I commute to work every day on my bike untill the winter, we have a 3 Lotts for only bikes like 15+ motorcycles at the one I park at. no ones touch’s them things change when u get older and get into the workforce n start meeting more mature people

[@VitexNL]

Such a W mans, i think all the same as u do, my question is, what do u do for work besides youtube because you own so many bikes, and as a matter of fact i know youtube doesnt earn that well

Btw yes you’re right college even when I started in 2011 was 60% girls 40% boys.

Trades make so much more then you think, the only reason the average is higher for college is because of the doctors, lawyers, etc.

I personally find College a waste of money, time, and just useless depending on your degree. I’m making more money than all my friends and some adults I know and I’m 16 working for Family Business started 5 years ago with no degrees or even a diploma let alone GED. Things have truly changed. But that’s just my opinion. 😂
