    Literally 1 day after this video came out we lost a dear family friend that I would consider to be a nephew to a motorcycle accident. To all of you that think you are being a tough guy and brave and crapping on this artist that shared his personal testimony, I can assure you that if you saw the face of someone that you loved dead you would crumble like a sack of potatoes like I did! This video is not about motorcycles being dangerous, it is about listening to God when he sends someone to communicate to you. Giving up something you love to honor the wishes of the Lord is showing him your faith in him and recognizing his love for you to protect you, so that you may fulfill your purpose of why he created you. If God warns you not to do something, specific to YOU, and you do not listen....you are a fool. I woke up one day to having nerve damage on my left hand 4 years ago. After not being able to ride for two years because of it I sold my recently paid off Indian. I thanked God for allowing my arm and hand to be partially lame, I know in my heart that it would be better to be partially lame than to be dead or fully lame. I am stubborn so I am sure God had to allow this or I would have never made a change in my life. I am still damaged to this day but I am alive and able to spread the Gospel and to be here with my family. That Young Man that passed in the motorcycle accident, recently accepted Jesus as his saviour despite being of Muslim faith... what if the people that led him to Christ were not here and were not able to share to him? God knows all and is a loving God, he knows what is best and we need to listen to him! ----thank you for this video Jacko!!!!

    The top causes of death are cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections and cancer. To those who say my riding is risky, if you are obese, have high blood pressure, eat processed foods, and don't excercise, the mortality risk is materially higher than riding a bike.
    And riding a bike may help solve some of these risk factors for the major causes of death.
    If you keep things in perspective, riding is not a high danger activity (provided you wear gear, don't drink and ride, and practice your skills).

    • @JackoLovesDrums

      Great point, I agree a 100%, riding is very therapeutic and not really a leading cause of death in a grand scheme of things. Those who ride know and i'm sure you do as well, it's not a matter of it but when something goes wrong. All my friends who went down either survived with a severe injury or didn't make it. Gear, classes and riding within one's means can help reduce accidents by 52%, I simply don't want to mess around and find out since I heard the message from upstairs crystal clear 😅 ride safe man, enjoy every mile ✌🏼

    • @JackoLovesDrums
      @JackoLovesDrums  8 дней назад +3

      Not fear my friend, rather selflessness and obedience. Example, a person can't join the military if severely injured, injuries can happen from something as simple as skateboarding, riding bikes, even playing basketball. Does it make the person fearful if he chooses to keep himself in one piece for a greater calling, or wise? Us born again Christians face the devil everyday with courage and prayer, that's what makes riding a bike for us just "riding a bike". Takes a lot more courage giving up something you love for a greater good than allowing your ego to ruin your life. God bless ✌🏼

    This is crazy, I been riding for a long time now and have been contemplating letting go of my motorcycle. I am a only child with two elderly parents, I am married with one child as well. This year has been a crazy year in that I have a lot of family needing my support. Everything fell into perspective for me and this was my last year riding and I will be selling my two bikes next year in the spring. Not easy for me because I really ride a lot and there is truly nothing like riding a bike. It’s good bye for now but when my child or future children get older and when they can care for them selfs I will be back in the saddle again.

    Anyone that truly loves to ride motorcycles who says they're stopping for their own reasons is lying to themselves they're stopping because other people in their life want them to and they're giving in to other people and saying it's because they want to. It may be because you want to satisfy other people but the first thing in your life should be to satisfy yourself. If you can just stop writing then you never truly enjoyed it

    • @gregkern8739
      @gregkern8739 7 дней назад

      First person someone should want to satisfy is the wishes of the one that gave them life. God speaks to each person differently and gives us guidance, it is best to listen. Not everyone needs to not do what they love but when the creator speaks to you, you are a fool to not listen.

    Bruh... You stopped because some random dude told you he lost legs doing stunt on a motorcycle? It's a far less risk to just cruise on street. Modern bikes also have more safety features. My pal flipped a bike doing wheelie at 60mph and had a slide on track and he is still fine and riding. You let the fear rule your life

    God just allowed me to buy a second motorcycle. It's the first time I have two bikes in my life (a naked and a scrambler), and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. The time may come when God tells me to stop but I hope it's not any time soon. The odd thing is that I was a metal drummer and God gave me the calling to leave that almost 8 years ago.

      @@JackoLovesDrums It just goes to show God has different plans for all of us. I haven't thought of drumming as a tool of prayer, to be honest the way God guided me to devotion does not include music. The way I see it music is something humans love and therefore use as a means to communion but I find comkunication with God in moments of deep silence (external and internal). That's just my case and it may not relate to others.
