In the UK we have Black Friday but it’s no where near as big as it is in the US, America goes nuts for it, like crazy nuts 😬 Funny video fella. Hope you’re doing well. Stay safe bud 🤘
Thanks man I appreciate that! Getting my audio right was a process! I'm not really a shopper either. But if I have to shop during the holidays, I'd rather do it online!
With ya on this one mate definitely one to miss and online only ,you surly caught yourself out being out on that day 😉it just ain't worth the hassle .Nice ta see those blues skies but I would bet it was none to warm out there 😶👍
Those stampedes are crazy!! I've never been in one during the holidays, but I have had to deal with some very rude people! Better off just ordering online. Thanks Saddlebags!!
Like Hippo-Drones said, it's not such a big thing in the UK. They usually hike the price up then lower it on black Friday so it looks like you get a good deal. We usually have January sales in the UK. Discounts throughout January
I'm with you - avoid the nuts, avoid the stores, shop online, and only something I need or really want - I try not to fall victim to the "sales". The only time I go to a mall is for a Lego store, since they're all in malls here. Heck, I don't even go to stores unless I have to [like buying the ZV-1 at Best Buy a few weeks ago]. I commute a lot, so I'm used to traffic, but holidays are a bit different, and I'll stay parked just to avoid the distracted drivers.
This year was the first year I have ever been in the USA for Black Friday......I didnt get to experience it because I never left the place we were staying at !!!
Well I had the day off..... guess my brain had the day off too! Cause I certainly wouldn't have went to the retail areas had I remembered what day it was!
😂😂. I know!! I think my brain malfunctioned that morning! Also since I never participate in Black Friday, I don't think it even registered. Thanks man!!
UK shoppers have been warned about black friday "deals" over the last few years. I'm very much like you, Kode. Stay at home or get out on the bike. Hype up the sales, it encourages me to stay away. 😕👌
Yep, most of those "deals" aren't really deals at all. But every once in awhile you find an actual savings. But as I said, most of those I order online.
Acting like scavengers is a perfect way to describe it!! And since everyone is in such a hurry to get to the stores, no one is paying attention. Definitely online!! Thanks Crazy!
I rode a short while on Black Friday, it wasn't too crazy but I was also riding at like 2pm/3pm so I'm sure they were already fighting in the stores lmao
Be thankful for that!! People can get stupid! In the stores and on the way to the stores! Everyone is in such a hurry they pay no attention to anyone around them! Thanks Hippo!;
@@HippoDrones luckily I've never seen that in person. But everyone gets very rude, entitled and will stand in the middle of an aisle and expect you to try and get around them. And they will do this in groups.
I don't think any vehicle would have helped!! I could have been in the back of a limo, sipping on champagne, and still have been aggravated that it was Black Friday!! 😂
@@FlipandTheBlueMule I haven't become a hermit yet. Regular shopping can be annoying, but during the holidays everyone gets rude. So I avoid it if I can.
I 100% agree with you about Black Friday. I'm the same way. I prefer to do my shopping like that online as well. I hate traffic period. Not just on holidays. Mainly because people are stupid drivers and don't pay attention to anything. Is it just me or does it seem like peoples ability to drive has got much worse over the years?
I don't understand Black Friday. Prices go up then on Black Friday they come back down again and everyone pretends it's an offer. That's the UK version, which seems to be fairly new. Over there is it just one day? Here I hadn't heard of it five years ago. Now it's Black Friday for several weeks. There have even been adverts for "Black November". I hate shopping anyway, so avoid it like the plague, same as the British January sales.
We do Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And you are totally right!! They up the prices at the beginning of the month then have a sale!! So what you actually save isn't really all that much. Thanks man!!
Black Friday....hmm, Na, not for me if not online. Now, if the weather is good....ride. Cheers
That's what tricked me...the weather!! My mistake was going towards the city! Should have stuck to the rural areas!
Thanks Moz!
😂😂😂 I love the “it’s fucking Black Friday” comment! That’s awesome! Good stuff Kode!
😂😂😂. Guess everyone knows how I really feel about black Friday! 😂

Funny video fella. Hope you’re doing well. Stay safe bud 🤘
Yes unfortunately, a lot of people over here to nuts for it. If it gets that bad over there, do your best to stay away from it!!
Man your audio is on point man! I'm not really a black friday shopper...but then again I don't shop at all!
Thanks man I appreciate that! Getting my audio right was a process!
I'm not really a shopper either. But if I have to shop during the holidays, I'd rather do it online!
Yup. I hate it to. I spend that day watching football and a lazy day with family. No reason to go out.
That sounds like a perfect way to spend black Friday to me!!
With ya on this one mate definitely one to miss and online only ,you surly caught yourself out being out on that day 😉it just ain't worth the hassle .Nice ta see those blues skies but I would bet it was none to warm out there 😶👍
Yep. Definitely caught myself out!
It was quite cold that day! Took 2 breaks just to warm up a bit!
I’ve seen the stampedes on tv. Wouldn’t want any part of that 🤣 I got a good deal on a GoPro a couple of years ago, online 😊
Nice one Kode 👍🏼
Those stampedes are crazy!! I've never been in one during the holidays, but I have had to deal with some very rude people!

You're lucky! It can be a nightmare over here depending on where you live.
Oh yeah, always a price hike before the sale!
Black Friday sales are slowly creeping into Australia.
I will mostly order online. But I have an idea of what prices are outside of the sale period.
Hopefully people don't start going crazy over it. Same with me, if I'm interested in an item, I'll know what it usually costs.
I'm with you - avoid the nuts, avoid the stores, shop online, and only something I need or really want - I try not to fall victim to the "sales".

Our local Malls don't have Cool stores like they used to. We do have a store called Hobby Lobby for all kinds of hobby stuff.
But they can get pricey!
Yeah I don't go out on Black Friday. But I do like the online savings if I am looking for something. Nice video. 👍
Thanks Roy!! Online is definitely the way to go!! Don't mind going in person on any normal day, but not on the holidays especially!
This year was the first year I have ever been in the USA for Black Friday......I didnt get to experience it because I never left the place we were staying at !!!
That was a Smart decision!! 😂😂
I one for a good deal also, but man the craziness on that drive me crazy 😂
Absolutely!! I stay away from that nonsense!
I stay as far away from stores as I can on Black Friday. Had to work this year, so it was easy.
Well I had the day off..... guess my brain had the day off too! Cause I certainly wouldn't have went to the retail areas had I remembered what day it was!
Black friday is sooooo 90s. Cyber Monday yo!
I think it was the 90's the last time I went into a store on Black Friday!! 😂
Black Friday 🤮. It’s all about that Cyber Monday!
Cyber Monday is SO much better!!
There's a whole area of this city and next town over I have to avoid this time of year. Just not even worth trying to ride or drive through.
Same with me man! Anywhere near the retail areas I try to avoid!
Thanksgiving should have been a big giveaway.
😂😂. I know!! I think my brain malfunctioned that morning! Also since I never participate in Black Friday, I don't think it even registered.
Thanks man!!
Not a huge shopper myself… however I do enjoy the occasional spree online as for Black Friday- it’s another ploy to herd the sheep….
Absolutely a ploy!! But like you, I don't mind a good deal. As long as it's actual savings.
UK shoppers have been warned about black friday "deals" over the last few years.

I despise going out on black Friday
You and me both man!! It's a traffic nightmare, especially the closer you get to the retail areas!
Yep, people go mental on Black Friday lol
Exactly!! Even if no one is fighting over something, they get very rude and entitled.
It's a mess.
Deffo not liking Black Fridays everyone on the roads and acting like scavengers. I will shop online only it’s easier. Good job KG 👍👍
Acting like scavengers is a perfect way to describe it!! And since everyone is in such a hurry to get to the stores, no one is paying attention.
Definitely online!!
Thanks Crazy!

I think I went out at the exact Wrong time of day! 😂
I’ve never been one to leave the house on Black Friday. If I can’t buy it online then I don’t need it lol
Smart man!! I can't believe I forgot it was Black Friday!! 🤷
Black Friday isn't really as much a thing in the UK so not something we need to stress about thankfully.
Be thankful for that!! People can get stupid! In the stores and on the way to the stores!
Everyone is in such a hurry they pay no attention to anyone around them!
Thanks Hippo!;
@@KODEGREY I've seen the crazy tv footage of Walmart etc... terrifying to think that is how humans behave!
@@HippoDrones luckily I've never seen that in person. But everyone gets very rude, entitled and will stand in the middle of an aisle and expect you to try and get around them. And they will do this in groups.
Here I was thinking that ‘dickhead’ was only used in Australia! 😉✌️😂
😂😂. Nope, I think that insult is worldwide!!
@@KODEGREY over here we use it as both an insult and a friendly jibe…
I like a deal, but I ain’t going out to secure it! ✌️
Me either!! I'll spend the extra few dollars to not have to deal with the crowds.
Not a fan and never do it. I always got to work though
Me either! And luckily I don't work in retail!!
See.... If you were on a HARLEY
... YOU COULD SIT BACK .... AND RELAX !!!! HAHAHAHAHA
I don't think any vehicle would have helped!! I could have been in the back of a limo, sipping on champagne, and still have been aggravated that it was Black Friday!! 😂
If Instacart or Amazon cant deliver it I dont need it
I completely agree!! There are some things I would rather buy in person. But not during the holidays.
@@KODEGREY ive become a hermit in my old age.... I order it or my daughter or my bestie get it for me
@@FlipandTheBlueMule I haven't become a hermit yet. Regular shopping can be annoying, but during the holidays everyone gets rude. So I avoid it if I can.

Definitely gotten worse!! I also think I noticed it more since I started riding. I have to be hyper aware and I notice a lot more.
We have just started black Friday sales here in Australia over the last few years, I am not sure why it's a thing. Not a fan. 😎
Hopefully no one goes crazy like they do here. Online only for me on Black Friday.
I bet you won't do that again! 😂
Definitely not!! If it's nice on a Black Friday, I will be riding toward the country!!
