@@fredflintstone3956 you obviously have never met ANY iron butt rider? Those guys are another breed of riders. Stop? Fuck that ride you peasant!!! Are you even a real rider they will ask if you don't put 2618262738miles on your bike every time you swing your leg over it.
I ALWAYS felt that the pointy aftermarket accessories were potential death traps. Glad I'm not the only one who sees this. They look cool... until they kill you.
I'd just like to say that I recently got back in to riding and have watched a number of your videos now and I really appreciate how much effort you put into a simple topic that could be condensed into a simple "list video". You do a great job and I know I'll be watching many more of your videos in the future! Rock on man!!
As obvious as the danger that comes with spike like mods are, I've had spike grips on my bike for years. Loved them for the looks, the spike and the integrated turn signal in the spike end of the grip. However, one night on my way home I hit a deer that jumped out in front of me, not even giving me time to hit the brakes...as my chest bounced off the tank, the bars torqued with the bike going down on its side, and there it was...the spike tearing into my forearm. At the time I didnt realize it, because I was more amazed with the luck of my open face landing into my gloved hand as I hit the pavement, but upon arriving home and checking the damage done...I realized I had a sleeve full of blood and a torn wound to match. Thumbs up on the vid. Good points. :^)
I was always paranoid about my laces when I wore a pair of jungle boots. I'd replaced the worn laces with parachute cord which is 550lb test. I was less worried about getting caught on the shifter or brake pedal, and more worried about one getting untied and into my chain.
immikeurnot Shoelaces have to be weak to act as a safety. If a shoelace is caught by something it's better to just break the shoelace than drag and suck the whole leg into the transmission. So don't tie your shoes with steel cable as a shoelace.
Some say his family name is actually F9, and that his right hand is already abrasion resistant from... well, you know... All we know is, he's called Ryan!
Love the safety tips. I've been riding since 1985 but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why an external water hose could be dangerous. But after I saw why, I almost panicked from just the idea. That would really suck!
Another True Story from the old guy archives : 1965, small prairie town, southwest US. Several of us 14-15 yr old's were riding the main drag in town, when approaching a green light, it changed to yellow. The car in front of us slammed on it's brakes and four of us stopped under our own power. Number five was stopped by the bumper and tail fin of a '59 Cadillac. Yep, impaled him just below the ribcage. If your going to impale yourself on the tail fin of a '59 Cadillac, it's best if you choose the proper location. We happened to be in an intersection between the fire station and local hospital. We were busy trying to disimpale (unimpale, depale?) our friend when a few guys from the fire station came running over. They stopped us, then proceeded to look the situation over. They decided we were on the right track and grabbing upper and lower body, removed him from the tail fin. The little blue haired driver threw up, then fainted. Another gurney appeared and both patients were wheeled across the street for treatment. Both survived. Moral to story : Not only be aware of sharp pointy things on your bike, also be aware of sharp pointy things that stop you when exiting the bike.
Why is the first sentence anyone utters after meeting with my riding mates always "Hey, did you see Ryan's new video?" - and the answer is always "Yeah!" - and then some discussion ensues. Thanks for consistently excellent material. Well... for the last ride it was "did you see the pre ride check video" - followed by "Yeah" - then silence - then "I did absolutely none of that before coming here", and a round of "yeah, me neither". I'm a terrible human being. Pearls before swine and all that.
Hi there, very eye opening video , thank you. I want to mention something, my uncle had a motorcycle accident couple years ago, it was a considerably low speed tangle and fall. Not a fanny bag but a tank bag full of camera gear and tools caused him bleed internally and nearly dead. After months of surgery and recovery, he is now living well but not allowed to ride a motorcycle or similar because he lost nearly all of his core muscles. Enought said, tank bags have similar danger. Thing to consider. Sorry for my english.
They also stop you from being able to duck right down behind your screen (if you’ve got one) if you see a bird or an object that’s been thrown up from the road coming at you.
Interesting. I suppose the size of the bag and where it sits in relation to the rider would make a difference, along with what’s inside. Note to self: no hard or pointy objects in the tank bag.
Ironically it’s not until you have something so rare and dangerous happen to you that you start looking at things like these: I’ve been riding for 50 years if you include off road and still learning.. things like the gas cap for one are a thing I’d never have given a thought to. Cheers, great channel.
as a first time rider who just got their first bike, ive honestly had a blast watching your videos and scavenging for little tips or what gear is safer, and how to keep my bike and i safe in case of a crash. plus you make me laugh while i learn so keep it up my friendly friend, buddy, chum, pal, amigo, homeslice, breadslice, dawg.

As a beginner rider hitting the road this coming year, i cannot thank F9 enough for the entertainingly informative tips. You've already helped me be a safer rider, but these gear tips i'd have never thought about until after an inncident (Like poor quality gloves that shred the first time you wipe out inevitably!). Cheers mate!😁
I thoroughly enjoy this channel and have loudly and incessantly recommended it to many. Great job educating riders with uncanny wit and substance..keep it up!
Magnets work great, but you can try what I do - use a self retracting id badge lanyard, that way you can get a drink and let go of the hose, the lanyard pulls it back to the same spot every time.
if you got the hose and the magnet right, it falls and "locks" back in to place. I also use the osprey and never really have issues with it flailing. just let it fall out of my mouth. Magnets on them are pretty strong.
Most intelligent, funny and pertinent bike and gear reviews ever (not only this video but in general). Thank you and congratulations Ryan, and the team. (if you're making this alone you're a superhero)
A long time ago, a good friend of mine was riding at high speed his Bonneville that had high handlebars (we called these ''Brandos'' in those days) when he was cut by an uncoming car that turned left. He hit the car and was thrown in the air. One of the high handles hit him in the abdomen and puncture his liver. He survived (because he was young and very strong) but never rode a motorcycle again. I immediately got rid of my high handlebars and re-installed the original ones on my bike. I had never thought about that type of risk then. Ride safe.🏍🏍🏍
I don’t understand people who dislikes such an informative video. Maybe they live on negativity or all what they are good at is disliking and criticizing
Kudos to you and Aneesh for your quality videos! Excellent production, editing, writing, and delivery. The location filming, technical close shots, and comedy inserts are particularly appreciated!
The hydration hook is probably the most important take away for me. Thanks for some great information. Oh, just wondering, is it ok for me to ride with a screwdriver in my pants pocket during on-road tuning sessions?
I would say handle bar cell phone holders should be on there. I was in a accident (30mph) and it hit me right in the stomach. Had a textile jacket on and still gave me a sever contusion.
However, you could also argue that a phone in your jacket pocket could also pose a risk, because, assuming you fly chest first onto tarmac, the phone would be the first point of contact. This would provide a central point for which the force of the impact to pass through. This would mean just a series of bruised ribs could turn into a fractured rib that could pierce a lung.
FortNine Yup, didn't break anything, tweaked my back, but was back out riding 2 weeks later! My stomach was purple for 2 months though....and I got to buy replacement gear!
This one made me subscribe. I don't even own a motorcycle but my son and daughter do and I started watching this channel for information but have now subscribed for the humor.
Seeing you point to your left side and calling out liver concerns was rather jarring. You've got such a depth of physics knowledge that I didn't see it coming.
Well done F9! Relevant content, good script, sharp wit and well placed sarcasm makes this a fun channel to view and is well differentiated from much of the other bike stuff out there. Stay with it dude!
Ryan you are the first motorcycle enthusiast that makes vids and actually uses music that is real music and not some stupid computer generated drum and bass garbage like most guys who make bike videos.
Great videos, editing, content, and personality. If I need substantive information, I look up your videos. Thank you for the work you put into your videos.
This is absolutely the best channel and you are the best presenter of information. I like few channels in this genre. You make this entertaining and informative. Thank you.
Ryan, thank you again for a great informative video. You save a lot of riders by giving all of us some great information. I am a straight guy with a beautiful wife & daughter, but if I ever see you in Canada, I will give you a big hug !!!
Thanks, Ryan. Eye opening, as always! Just to put my dime in the jukebox: my bike was new, and I was on it, stopped at a sign while waiting for the road to clear. A guy in the car rear-ended me, I got ejected and my shoulder hurt, of course, but also my left shin and my achilles heel right under the calf. What happened? I had been badly hit by the gear selector on the left and, on the right, by the passenger footpeg socket (quite square, this one!). Had I not my motorcycle boots on (those which protect up to mid-calf), I would have torn my skin and what else? I do agree with you, Ryan: the bike is already quite threatening in itself, no need to bolt on additional posts, daggers and other blades... By the way, I'm stunned by your videos. I have been riding motorcycles for 20 years and have accumulated 100,000 miles on various machines, and at every video of yours I learn a lot and it increases my pleasure to ride. Thank you. Sincerely,
Dude I just found your channel! As a beginner enthusiast ID like to say that you are very informative and hella funny at the same time. I enjoy your videos.. keep them coming buddy…
Useful video , like many others from your production . Keep up the good work. It’s a joy to count with your precious contribution for a more instructed motorbike community.
"Going home to take the hook off my Raiden DKR jacket" I never ride with a hydration pack anyway, but I never even thought of snagging my sleeve or glove.
I may have missed it... but what I really want to see is a cost analysis based on maintenance. You know the old reliability (turtle) vs performance (rabbit). Specifically on the adv bikes
That back material on the packs is called aeromesh or 3D mesh. Some of them are quite resilient, but they will not do well with abrasion or punctures. It is designed for padding and ventilation.
I ride a 750 watt recumbent ebike that can cruise at 20mph and hit 38+ down the mountain paved roads. I always learn something useful from your videos. First being what I put in my fanny pack which actually rides over my belly button. Has everthing I need in case I inadvertanty depart bicycle. To include wallet and Bleed Stop. Need to review how my keys are stowed. Also need to remember about snags anywhere on the system. Thank You!
I never carry anything in my jacket pockets and my wallet and cell phone are in the little glovebox. Anything hard or sharp on your person during a crash and you will for sure find a better spot for that the next time you ride. Hydration - oh you mean having a drink of water? I use that as an excuse to pull over now and then. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Cellphone it's up for debate that it should be on your person. Getting thrown from the bike and conscious but unable to get up from injuries, sucks to know your phone is just 20 feet down the shoulder of the road. I read that one from a guy in New Brunswick who collided with a moose.
I love riding next to big rigs and HD pickups with spike covers over their lug nuts. It's quite the thrill being that close to a wide-open Cuisinart. 😒
This one just came up on my recommendations. As always great job. Saying that 😂🤣😂 3:42 years ago a friend of mine whose idea of bike maintenance was just washing and polishing her bike and nothing else wanted to go for a ride while pissed one night turned herself and her bike into a Roman candle by opening her fuel cap and using a cigarette lighter to see how much petrol she had. Luckily she only singed her hair and burnt the inside of the tank out.
Your liver is on your left side. Just had a doctor take a biopsy by jamming a special needle in my side and pulling out a piece of my liver for testing.
@@jimbob7559 your liver is in your upper abdomen near your chest area on your right side, not your left side. I don't think the doctor did what you think he did lol
One thing I really like about you is your love for the F800... On you advice alone, I recently purchased an 2012 F800 GS as a complement to my HD Ultra Limited and I just love it. Thanks so much for you advice. Gotta look into that gas cap next...
I always leave my brain at home just for the safety.
This is superb :D
Yeah, I would rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy
thats a nice one :}
@@Joe-kb1sm well done
Same here, if I don't have it with me, I can't damage it.
Hydration hook issue resolution: remove hook, replace with velcro patch, put velcro around hose...pull when needed, stick out of way👍
Just take care with those velcro fasteners on your sleeve
@@PortCharmers yeah but thats easier to pull of than a hook
Better resolution - Keep both hands on the bars, pull over at a safe stop. empty the bladder (yours), grab a drink, be on your way.

Shoelaces stuck in the gear shifter are also very dangerous.

You could arguably say the same for tank bags. When you crash and you hit your bars chest-first, you're gonna catch the bag on the way there.

Yeah, I rode a saxxon warlord (chopper) and everything had spikes.
1000ib bike covered in spikes.
@@SkadooHusky oof!
Well done F9! Relevant content, good script, sharp wit and well placed sarcasm makes this a fun channel to view and is well differentiated from much of the other bike stuff out there. Stay with it dude!
My co-worker died yesterday in a crash. No helmet, last driver turned left in front of him. Jim you will be missed.
Gary Turner God Bless you forever, Jim 🙏
Never worked a MC fatality as a tow truck driver that the rider was wearing a helmet.
RIP, Jim. Never met you. Don't need need to meet to wish this hadn't happened. Peace, Gary. Ride Safe(r).
Ryan you are the first motorcycle enthusiast that makes vids and actually uses music that is real music and not some stupid computer generated drum and bass garbage like most guys who make bike videos.
Loving these vids. Thank god for lockdown. Now I can go through your entire back catalogue. Cheers mate
Great videos, editing, content, and personality. If I need substantive information, I look up your videos. Thank you for the work you put into your videos.
I would buy that cheese grater tank pad, all that grip!
Great editing, script and presentation! Love your videos!
I don't even have a motorcycle and still watching these videos because the production quality is so good.
Please don't stop bringing the quality videos!
ryan lost so many clones on this episode
2:00 why would anybody watch motorcycle related reviews anywhere else when you see great humor like that?
😁😂👍
Fort Nine you are amazing in your presentation, research and content. Hats off. Goes without saying, your presentation is the best.
I prefer smooth and round things to pointy things on my bike any day! Great info, Ryan!! Thanks and happy new year!
This is absolutely the best channel and you are the best presenter of information. I like few channels in this genre. You make this entertaining and informative. Thank you.
Death by Fanny pack that how I want to die
As a verb or a noun. :)
Someone needs to inform Joe Rogan!
A pack of Fannies sounds the perfect way to go!
Let them write it on your cobble stone
"On the other side, there a beverage holder... So you can enjoy an apple juice while you call an ambulance for the less guarded riders." 😂
"Right about now you are probably expecting" *RUclips AD*
Yes I always expect those.
Not if you use an ad blocker.
Very entertaining! Love your content and the way it’s presented.
The addition of the values of pi and e in the "pointy mods" mugshot is a nice touch.
Ryan, thank you again for a great informative video. You save a lot of riders by giving all of us some great information. I am a straight guy with a beautiful wife & daughter, but if I ever see you in Canada, I will give you a big hug !!!
GREGORY RUSSO I'm a Bi biker and I'll give him more than a hug
@@ggme4682 😂😂
Man this channel is amazing
Totally !!
Amazingly horrid, this channel is worse than A Serbian Film
Id be annoyed if that analogy wasn't so bizarre
Great videography they just need a different spokesperson , this dude and his voice is very annoying!!
Thanks, Ryan. Eye opening, as always! Just to put my dime in the jukebox: my bike was new, and I was on it, stopped at a sign while waiting for the road to clear. A guy in the car rear-ended me, I got ejected and my shoulder hurt, of course, but also my left shin and my achilles heel right under the calf. What happened? I had been badly hit by the gear selector on the left and, on the right, by the passenger footpeg socket (quite square, this one!). Had I not my motorcycle boots on (those which protect up to mid-calf), I would have torn my skin and what else?
I do agree with you, Ryan: the bike is already quite threatening in itself, no need to bolt on additional posts, daggers and other blades...
By the way, I'm stunned by your videos. I have been riding motorcycles for 20 years and have accumulated 100,000 miles on various machines, and at every video of yours I learn a lot and it increases my pleasure to ride. Thank you. Sincerely,
Dude I just found your channel! As a beginner enthusiast ID like to say that you are very informative and hella funny at the same time. I enjoy your videos.. keep them coming buddy…
Useful video , like many others from your production . Keep up the good work. It’s a joy to count with your precious contribution for a more instructed motorbike community.
pissed out laughing at 2:02 XD
lol
"Going home to take the hook off my Raiden DKR jacket"
I never ride with a hydration pack anyway, but I never even thought of snagging my sleeve or glove.
0:00-2:02 oh god that was hilarious
I may have missed it... but what I really want to see is a cost analysis based on maintenance. You know the old reliability (turtle) vs performance (rabbit). Specifically on the adv bikes
That back material on the packs is called aeromesh or 3D mesh. Some of them are quite resilient, but they will not do well with abrasion or punctures. It is designed for padding and ventilation.
6:15 ....
F to respect the Ryanf9's expired right hand
You make me laugh while filling my head with useful information. THANKS
I just fill my hydration pack with gas so if I run out I have back up is this safe?
Lol
its the safest thing to do and you also get a backup, thats amazing .
man you wont get a chance to die plenty of times like Ryan
It's bad for your liver
Not only is it safe, it's brilliant! Now I can throw away my gas can in a backpack.
I don't even have a motorcycle, this man just makes amazing content
I ride a 750 watt recumbent ebike that can cruise at 20mph and hit 38+ down the mountain paved roads. I always learn something useful from your videos. First being what I put in my fanny pack which actually rides over my belly button. Has everthing I need in case I inadvertanty depart bicycle. To include wallet and Bleed Stop. Need to review how my keys are stowed.
Also need to remember about snags anywhere on the system.
Thank You!
I never carry anything in my jacket pockets and my wallet and cell phone are in the little glovebox. Anything hard or sharp on your person during a crash and you will for sure find a better spot for that the next time you ride. Hydration - oh you mean having a drink of water? I use that as an excuse to pull over now and then. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Cellphone it's up for debate that it should be on your person. Getting thrown from the bike and conscious but unable to get up from injuries, sucks to know your phone is just 20 feet down the shoulder of the road. I read that one from a guy in New Brunswick who collided with a moose.
I love riding next to big rigs and HD pickups with spike covers over their lug nuts. It's quite the thrill being that close to a wide-open Cuisinart. 😒
Seen those quite often on big rigs lately. They're damn scary when next to one on the highway.
The spikes on the wheels of big rigs are chrome covered plastic.
Yep. They break if you look at them wrong.
Man, I so much want to change my RUclips handle to JingleHeimerSchmidt after reading your reply.

Your Videos are really good, i like watching them, because you are funny but also informative
My favorite parts were the various epitaphs synced up with times in the videos. Nicely done!
Your videos are wonderful. So much more entertaining and informative than other motorcycle channels! Thanks for being creative with your passion!!
I just came here to show my appreciation to pi and e at 5:02 .
I'm a newbie to this channel, and I'm surprised by the amount of easter eggs in f9's videos.
6:13 oh nice how you did that, reminds me of pen & teller.
Das some high quality H20
Looking at those vidéos 3 years later, god damn its still funny and so good...Thanks FortNine and Brian!
This one just came up on my recommendations. As always great job. Saying that 😂🤣😂 3:42 years ago a friend of mine whose idea of bike maintenance was just washing and polishing her bike and nothing else wanted to go for a ride while pissed one night turned herself and her bike into a Roman candle by opening her fuel cap and using a cigarette lighter to see how much petrol she had. Luckily she only singed her hair and burnt the inside of the tank out.
His liver is on his side? Must be a mutant. Lol
Your liver is on your left side. Just had a doctor take a biopsy by jamming a special needle in my side and pulling out a piece of my liver for testing.
@@jimbob7559 your liver is in your upper abdomen near your chest area on your right side, not your left side. I don't think the doctor did what you think he did lol
@@jimbob7559 liver is on the upper right quadrant
He's a physicist, not a biologist. The struggle is real.
Starting to watch your channel nearly as much as Scotty Kilmer. Keep up the GREAT work.
Nice video man keep it up 👌
the work that goes in these videos is unbelievable. Awesome job!
One thing I really like about you is your love for the F800... On you advice alone, I recently purchased an 2012 F800 GS as a complement to my HD Ultra Limited and I just love it. Thanks so much for you advice. Gotta look into that gas cap next...
