My husband found a used, but not running 2012 DL1000 that someone posted on a VStrom forum. It was in pieces when we picked it up for $700. Previous owner tried to fix it and gave up. Can we fix it so I can have a "new" bike. Newer than my 2000 VFR. Worst case scenario we can sell the parts and accessories, because it even came with the hard cases and racks, and a few other items.

Make sure that when you are shopping for your first helmet that it fits right and is comfortable. The helmet needs to be snug, it should not be able to wiggle around if you shake your head.

Monique Filips and Jordan Diggs Introduce New To 2
Thank you very much for this video! It was just what I was looking for to prepare for a long dual sport ride I have coming up.
This is very useful, thank you.
Great video & thanks for sharing.. We are planning on being there in 24 from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Awesome!! Look for us in Vegas!!
I love the string on the sidestand plate!!!!!
ThaaaaNx M (in advance)
... more trivia @ 3:34 thr scooter is a circa 70's HONDA Kick-N-Go ..!!
Amazing with bicycle tube!! Thanks a lot!! Great video
How often would you do this workout? Once a week or twice or more?
I would recommend 2-3 times per week if you are not doing too much other exercises
Interesting, where did your inspiration come from? LOL
I might have a few Hondas...🤭
Thanks for the virtual visit to the event, Moto Mama! Glad you're still making content, and a shout out to the Diesel cameos.
THX!! I didn't tell her she was in the video LOL
Thanks for sharing!
Love it.
This may be the quick answer for my needs. My Indian gets hot in stop and go traffic. The radiating heat cooked my lower thigh and upper calf. I never touch the pipe, but ended up with severe burns. I'll look into this more. Thanks for sharing!
As a new rider myself and being an avid gym enthusiast I can say for certain riding is tiring! After a 40 minute ride to work my first few times out I was tired as hell, my calves and quads were sore and my chest and shoulders felt it, it takes a bit of endurance and strength to ride until you're used to it, great video!
I don't know. Sounds like your bike doesn't fit you at all. What are you riding, some goofy harley with ape hangers and forward controls? Maybe a crotch rocket with clip ons? I ride for hundreds of miles and never have calf, quad, chest or shoulder pain. Just my butt.
At age 75 I just bought road bike. A BMW r850r. I reckon I can do with some exercising. Thanks for the tips.
You deserve way more likes. Good common sense advice.
Just here to say I've seen some of your other videos, and I was watching "Split Second" on TV and recognized you! 👍
How cool is that! Could you tell my knees were shaking??! It was quite the adrenaline rush!
I ride in Central Florida. In the summer it can get to be 100 degrees with 100% humidity so evaporation cooling doesn't work. My solution is a mesh jacket with reusable Freezer packs in the breast pockets. They are good for about an hour ride which lasts until I get to work. Then I put them in the Freezer. I work for a restaurant so that's no big deal. Then I'm good to go when I ride home. Just a thought. If it works for you Great.
Great idea!!
A good collection of exercises with no/minimal equipment. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
Great tips for packing a tank bag. Thanks!
I think the whole alien thing is built for purpose of funding newly built Space Force Branch. Aliens just reinforce some people's thoughts of more funds put into Space Force.
In July the heatwave here in Spain was in full swing with temperatures around 40° to 45°C. I rode 4 hours to a hotel feeling a little off during the final half hour. I had made stops to drink on the way. I parked my bike at my destination feeling very strange with some of the heat stroke symptoms described. The next thing was a man was giving me water as I was out cold lying on the concrete. I poured the bottle of very cold water over my head and immediately recovered enough sort myself out. I appreciate very much the advice given here to avoid a recurrence. I will add that cooling the head is as important as the body once symptoms have started as this quickly helps recovery. Thanks for the video.👍
Glad you are OK! Riding in the heat is no joke. And yes! cooling off the head is so important.
130.00 for one, holy crap who makes this harley?
I also have a V-Strom, my second one. Tank bag, hard cases, top case. Some great suggestions. Would also recommend a tire puncture plug kit (or patches), an assortment of fuses, a small bottle of Rain-X, a few folded paper towels, and a couple of static cleaning cloths (must be from Costco because they're the only ones that actually work!).
YES!! All great ideas. I have the fuses and tire plug kit under my seat!
I do not have a tank bag, and the only thing on my tank is my Freakmount phone holder.
A nice scrap piece of leather with a couple of snaps will work fine
Taking this class in two weeks, this was a really good summary video of the program. Excited to be in the class. One point you made is to take a class every year. I agree and have done the same, definitely recommend the Yamaha Champ Street 1-day course. Diff than this but well worth the money.
Yes! I want to do champ school
Great ride, thanks for sharing.
First time on the back of a bike in 30 years and my hips and hip flexors were in agony, I'm worried for when I take my test if my hip area will need strength work, any advice?
Sounds like your hip flexors were working too hard. You need to work on your glutes!! As we get older that gets weaker (especially glute medius) and our hip flexors get tighter. I would recommend Pilates. It really helps balance us out. Until then standing hip extension, supine hip ext, and stretch the front of your hip and quad.
@@moniquefilips1000 Great stuff, will add those to my routine, thanks so much!
Fun vid!
Thank God for this video. Just moved to TX and took a 10-minute ride and by the time I got back, the inside of my leg was burning! Can't wait to get my Hooligan. Thank you!
I've been wrapping a bandana around my leg inside jeans for years..may have to try this
Hi. Nice video.I am not worried about a burn with pants. I need something I can use with SHORTS.I ride a Harley in florida.The heat is brutal especially with pants. Just need something for right leg with protection with shorts for riding
Great job and great advise to other riders about taking a class every year. Did the officers instruct on the use of the clutch and rear break to control your speed not the throttle and instruct maintaining an RPM of anywhere from 1800-2500 RPM's? It's great to see they offer this class for free and to see such a great turnout for this training. These skills WILL save a riders life. Practice these slow speed skills regularly. Best way to make these skills a natural response is to practice something every time you get on your bike. The state I live in, the advanced training is not free and the instructors themselves are lacking skills. They do not have motor officers in my state and even if they did, nothing is ever free here. Even is it cost a few dollars the classes are well worth it to train in an environment where you might feel pressured so you become used to it. I am 56 years old and began riding motorcycle when I was in my early teen years. Never took a riding course in my life until a year ago just to see what it was about. I enjoyed the class and had opportunity to share my skills with others. I still practice the slow speed skills as well as the high speed skills and road strategies every day. Many times in all my years of riding these slow speed skills have saved my life. It is imperative to learn and be comfortable with the maximum lean angle of your bike. To know where your max lean angle is without thinking about it will save your life in a high speed swerve to avoid an oncoming vehicle or animal, something in the road or something flying out of a truck or off a vehicle or even a pot hole in the road. A rider must also learn and understand emergency braking in a corner and how to skillfully and safely apply this skill at all speeds. There are a few great guys on RUclips that encourage these skill and give great tips for perfecting them. Kevin at MCrider teaches a lot on road skills and road strategies. ruclips.net/user/motorman857 ruclips.net/user/RobertSimmonsPayingItForward ruclips.net/user/MCrider Two thumbs up to all riders, no matter their skill level who take the time to participate in the training classes offered.
I’d love to get it but do they have bigger sizes?
*I could never understand this EXTRA STUPID design in almost all motorcycles where a burning hot pipe sits next to your legs.... and then in this country, all day we blabber about "SAFETY" .... my a*$.* *I think Indian motorcycles and lately Honda Rebel 1100 series is where they make the pipe run under the bike and freaking AWAY from the pilot's calves - which MAKES SENSE.!*
>Your spot on Monique Filips!!! >I used that same vest to ride through the Mojave Desert. I used it in combination with my webbed outer shell that has all the padding and wore a cotton t-shirt. The web jacket slows the air down and the cotton t-shirt keeps the water in contact with your skin. Water in the vest lasts up to an hour and a half. Highly recommended. >I started out using the a poor mans approach for evaporative cooling. Use the motorcycle jacket webbed outer shell, cotton t-shirt(s) and a camelback. Then dribble water down my front as I rode as needed. The water wicks out into the t-shirt (cotton is great for this) and the evaporation of the water just pulls the heat right from your body because the wet t-shirts have intimate contact with your skin. The advantage of this is you control the amount of water flow. Just carry extra water with you and gage the timing of water consumption. >The vest is a step above the poor mans approach.
It really makes me feel good to know that these types of classes are available for civilian riders. I'm really supprised that this was free
Hello madaam
do they mind loud exhaust?
Every city/county has their own regulations...but for the class I don't have an answer for you. Send them an email.
Why couldn't you tell us what it was in voice not what
What was it I bought mine rode it home and had to haul it to my new place still trying to fix it before I sell it
Good information. Thank you.
How have these held up since your purchase? Thanks!
They are still fine. I air dry them. The only negative is if you wear them all day the battery does leave a small sore area ( I wear leggings so that creates a little pressure) NOt a major problem, but If they had the flat batteries like their gloves, it would be better.
Monique! We met at DTR in Texas when I coached there. Great to see you here :-) Thanks for the video!
Hey Kat!! We were just in Atlanta with another great group of coaches. (the weather was bad though, cold and rainy on Fri and Sat. Sun we had a good turnout) Hopefully I will see you at another event someday :)
@@moniquefilips1000 I really hope we meet up again some day. Loved spending time with you and the whole team! Glad we gave you better weather for the fun but I'm glad folks were there to make it a good event. Take good care of yourself!
Some good exercises for those that need to get a little more fit.
You still riding? Have not seen a new video in a while. Take care, ride safe.
Thanks for checking in! Just lots of life stuff in the way of editing video. I have 2 videos on deck I need to finish...stay tuned!
Good concept I guess. I'd rather put on my Diva Do Helmet Liner by RaciBabi. Much easier.
You have beautiful hair
Nice job! Conquering tough trails and raising funds for charity! Love it! Ride on!
Thank you!!
