Love that! We don't get a real "autumn" here, it's just like summer Jr. Lots of evergreens. But love the vibe!

@@itsmissy_xo honestly I would switch for californian weather... climate changed a lot so it's much much warmer than it suppose to be and leather jacket, 20 C (68F) is nice. I just hope it won't rain because then it's super cold

@@theslowdeathoftheuniverse California weather definitely can't be beat... and it doesn't rain here too often! The weather overall is pretty mild, especially closer to the coast. The lowest recorded temperature ever where I live is 22F (-5C)

@@itsmissy_xo lowest recorded where I live was -25.6F, overall it's warmer place than rest of the country so average winter temp is 22F

I really take for granted being able to ride on the coast sometimes 😅 That's awesome! I listen to a bunch of different genres too, but I haven't listened to hardcore or techno music in quite a while! Certain times of the year I even go into a Classical music phase, ha!

Shhhh 😂 I'm similar, I go through phases so I listen to almost any type of music (and I definitely had a techno phase bahah)

Thank you! Nick is a lifesaver! I'd be happy to do a setup video soon, thanks for the suggestion!

@@itsmissy_xo appreciate your response 💯 will be waiting 👌🏻 new subacriber here from the Philippines !!! More power to your channel 💪🏻

@@BikeScootrepEAT I appreciate YOU! Thank you! 💛

Yay!! Thanks for commenting! :)

Thank you so much!

Nice! What kind of music do you listen to? I usually listen to Spotify, and recently downloaded a whole playlist so I could listen to it on my 6 hour plane ride last weekend.

@@itsmissy_xo Its difficult to put specifics in youtube comments because it will delete the comment before you see it if I openly direct you to it, but if you read the previous comment carefully, you will get to that actual playlist. It is such a wide variety of music that I would hesitate to classify it, but I would say that without me purposely doing it, it is mostly female singers, quite a lot of different asian or international artists, much of it is not in english (useful for motorcycle riding) but the actual music runs the gamut from deep blues to pop to kpop to country, it is the list of a crazy person. lol My current addiction is Teddy Swims.

@@ariesmarsexpress I like the idea of listening to music in another language! That way you focus less on the words. Kudos!

bahaha! I can totally see that! I used to listen to audiobooks in my car but I do find they require so much more focus and attention, otherwise its just words in my ears.

It was my first time on this bike and first time with a 2-stroke. I've ridden it several times now no problem lol. Thanks though.

It's a Honda Rebel 500

Thank you for your comment!

Good to know! I don't have any room in my closet for more gear but maybe next year I'll upgrade!

I learned on a dirt bike. But learned stupid squid stuff. Like sand and kick stand pivots. Different ways to lift a bike in nasty terrain.

@@eliinthewolverinestate6729 I rode mountain bikes all my life, I'm in my 40s now. So I think the squid stuff is out of my system hopefully. I don't even plan on getting a street bike. No desire for going fast. Just want a bike for exploring, and I'm tired of pedaling all the time :)

The OHV area near me has so many different trails (you'll see!!) but I'm just restricted to when I can ride since my bike is a 2-stroke and doesn't meet California emissions.... 🙄

@@itsmissy_xo gotcha. And cool, can't wait to see that 2stroke bike in action!

Appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

The RiderBag is 35L but doesn't feel huge. I don't ride with a waterbag on my Rebel but I do on my dirtbike. On the rebel I just carry a full thermoflask of water :)

@@itsmissy_xo Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!

I don't like riding at night, 9/10 motorcycle accidents in my area are at night... some the car's fault, some the MC's fault, some solo... but I'll pass LOL

@@itsmissy_xo completely fair, stay safe out there

I'll add more gear when my closet isn't full LOL for now, I live in black (both on and off the bike!)

Good to know! I'm not as familiar with the Betas but I'll consider it when the time comes haha!

@@itsmissy_xo Lots of vidoes on them if you're curious. I have a 2024 xtrainer I've upgraded it rode it, love it. The lower height is very nice I was coming off an old MX bike that was super tall and it's very nice and it could get even shorter for those who need it.

@@soldierforeggs Well CA passed a law a few years ago so that same bike here in California couldn't be ridden on public land, only on private property. If it doesn't meet emission standards, it can't be on any public land. It's really stupid! I'd have to buy an older one.

@@itsmissy_xo Right... that's stupid... but older isn't always bad can mean more aftermarket parts. I hope you enjoy getting into dirt bikes it's hands down my favorite thing.

@@soldierforeggs Yea I mean I've never bought anything brand new new so it's not a big deal lol. Thanks! I've missed it so much, which is ironic cause I've only been without a dirtbike for 6 months! lol

Hey Bugzy, thanks for stopping by! My old Honda was a pain in the butt to kickstart when the engine was hot (like if I crashed and stalled and had to get it going again lol) but so far my new bike can be kickstarted BY HAND! 😯Crazy lol. You should definitely try it again!

Relieving to hear CA isn't alone haha. Does WA also have restrictions for their 2 strokes?

@@itsmissy_xo No! lets not give them any ideas! :)

Thank you for watching! Can't wait to show you all videos of me riding it!

This bike is the same curb weight as my old bike but definitely has way more power lol. Can't wait to ride it!!

Nice! What did you ride?

@itsmissy_xo I had a Yamaha 180 RT, it's been a few years.

Thank you! Excited to go rip on it and share more content!

Thanks for the comment! Most of the spare parts were tubes, but there are a few other really awesome items (OEM rear brake, chain slider, a bunch of new spark plugs, and a bunch of extra gaskets). Definitely can't wait to wrench on this thing too! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! And hey, now you get to see a video of my riding a KTM after all lol :)

@@itsmissy_xo I like it, when in doubt, throttle out! lol

I'm jealous, for sure! Can't wait to go ride this thing.

Lol I took it off weeks ago. I hated the amount of wind buffeting i was getting behind the windshield

Thank you!

Unfortunately in California any bike built for off-highway use can't be converted into a SuMo unless it's specifically a dual sport bike... 🙃🙃 But, I was looking at dual sports like an XR150 or TW200 but they wouldn't be fun on the street or on the dirt with their lower CC and crappy suspension lol I need to keep up with my fiance on his KTM 500 EXC-F!

@@itsmissy_xo but what if it's a super moto from the factory like a klx300sm or drz400sm.

@@ep6606 I'm not really a Kawi or Suzuki fan lol but those are full size bikes anyway and I'm too short for them unless I lower them, which I don't want to do

@itsmissy_xo OK, a dirt bike it is

Yes! The CRF100 came as a 19/16, but it had a low ground clearance so the seat height was only about 30". The small wheel SX85 and YZ85 both have larger ground clearances so even the small wheel 17/14 has a seat height of 33". A big wheel in those bikes would be almost the same height as a full sized bike (35") and I'm just too short for that unless I lower them (which I'm hoping to avoid!) I've been doing a LOT of research on them haha and I definitely wanted a big wheel until I found out they're so tall! Being short isn't all it's cracked up to be LOL

Agreed!! Thank you for your comment!

Haha! Yea logistics can be a problem. Or you can get a dual sport and go both on the dirt and the street! (that's what my fiance has) but most dual sports are too tall for me :(

@@itsmissy_xo yeah that would be fun too! They are always so tall though😭 have you seen motoikandi? She has short girl riding tips, but it definitely does not look easy lol

@@gaabbiio Oh I haven't seen her, I'll have to check her out! Looks similar to the tips Doodle on a Motorcycle shares :) I've tried to sit on my fiance's full-size dirt bike, and even with the "short girl tips" I'm quite literally too short LOL unless I start/stop standing off the bike (which hey.. I may practice)

Thank you!

Technically just filtering, I haven't moved up to splitting yet lol but thank you!

@@itsmissy_xo oh hang on... wot exactly is lane splitting then ... You looked Awsome filtering, think it will be a While before I have th confidence

@@nikisaunders2634 its ok haha a lot of people get it mixed up. splitting is when you're moving between cars that are also moving. filtering is when you're moving between stopped cars. :) Both are legal here in California, but right now I'm only comfortable filtering. You'll get there!

@@itsmissy_xo aw yeah I get it now ... well happy filtering , I'll let you know when iv achieved either of the two 😆

@@ac2-rm141 thank you for the comment and the tip! I’ll have to try that out next time I need to wash it.

@@999fedora where I live, it is wayyyyy too hot to ride in the desert in the summer. Like 120 degrees lol. Plus some desert vehicles are restricted to certain times of year. The end of October to May is prime weather for the desert.

Ouch! Too hot for me. Its 90 F here for the last couple of days and I just stay home. Cheers!

🐝🐝🐝

@@itsmissy_xo Actually, with your helmet, black jacket, and yellow bike, the bees probably think you're one of them.

@@HAMILTONPROVIDEO bahah! Yea, maybe!!

@@ariesmarsexpress I get crazy wind buffeting with my Puig, which is the main reason I took it off. It maybe wouldn’t be so bad if I got the smaller windshield but ohhh wellll :) lol

@@itsmissy_xo Time for a new bike. lol

@@ariesmarsexpress 😂😂 modern problems require modern solutions

I removed the wind shield on my Vstrom 650 because of severe head buffeting. It worked! No buffeting and no more wind howling sound!

Ha interesting comments. I do hear wind howling sounds, but wasn't sure if it was actually my windshield. Cause I feel like it's hitting me on the chest instead of the head/or helmet.

@@ipdjbt gotta have options, lol!!

only issue try to maintain insurance and rego among all bikes :( 2 bikes is already too much to afford these days

@@polartsang thankfully dirtbikes aren't required to have insurance and registration is dirt cheap :)
