I always add in 10-30 minutes when I take the bike. Checking tires, gearing up, making sure I get everything and carry it out to the bike. The cameras are the least of my concerns - but only because I have my helmet cam mounted when I walk out, and if I'm taking my handlebar cam, the mount is already there and the camera is on the selfie stick - so, ready to go. It's just a matter of turning them and the remote on, lighting my stogie, starting the bike, and connecting the cameras. NBD :D
Great thoughts, and advice on what to prepare before leaving on the bike. Yeah sometimes I’ll just throw a camera in the saddlebag to use later. I usually don’t record first thing in the morning. Maybe I need coffee to be motivated ☕️ 🤪😂🙂🏍️👍
@@TechNickRides Thanks! My media mod lives on my helmet, to keep the mic wire from bouncing around... so a camera goes in it. But it's literally 10 seconds to install as I pick up the helmet. I used to record in the mornings more, but when I don't have an idea [or time, for that matter], I just... won't. Unless something happens or an idea hits me while I'm riding. Funny enough - if you see me recording on my morning commute, that first sip of coffee on camera IS my first sip of coffee for the day :D
Great topic. I generally have to give myself an extra 20 min to get ready, otherwise I never get out when I want to. That never happens when I'm in the car. Glad I am not the only one. The bike is sounding great!
Thank you, Jerry. Yeah, if I plan to ride the bike, I almost have to plan the night before and anticipate that I have to get ready early the next morning too, otherwise if I don't I'll have to take the car.
When I had to be to work, I always got up 30 minutes earlier than if I was driving. Gearing up, and wanting to take it easy on the bike always added time to the commute.
If I'm running late, the bike might help me get there quicker, so I'll still take it - but I don't take unnecessary risks. Being too tired is a bigger concern for me to want to cage it.
i always try to give myself time to get places so I can enjoy the ride. average speed in mass on the highway is like 85-90 mph. so good luck if you want to go 65 around here.
I've figured there's a larger portion of ADHDers riding motorbikes. I don't know if we took up motorbikes for the thrill or because we're always late and try to make up time 😅
@@hollow34 Both. Definitely both. The "will I make it home safely" aspect always sticks in the back of my head... as I ride along, doing ADD things. :D
I like to take my time to get out on the bike, but if someone calls at the last minute, I can get going pretty quickly. All of my gear, riding and camera, is kept very close to the bike.
Lol my wife is the same way. She’s always like why are you in a hurry. We still get there on time or right up that time of arrival. I always am used to getting somewhere early.

I hate feeling rushed! I always left for work 30 minutes earlier than I needed to, even in the cage, just so I wouldn’t get rushed….
Yeah traffic can be unpredictable sometimes too for the commute. 🙂👍
👍Well Said Nick.
Thank you sir 🙂🏍️👍

Definately, man if I’m not feeling it I’ll take the cage. Bike I always have to be on my A game. 🙂🏍️👍
@@TechNickRides You have an A game? Dang... best I can do is a C- :D

Lol 🐌 dang why is everyone in such a hurry 😂
HAHA, I loved the intro. I'm always late. It's a thing. Gonna put in my will that I show up a half hour late to my own funeral :D
Lol thanks, sometimes it feels like that for real when I have to be somewhere at a certain time. 😂🙂🏍️👍

I dont like to be rushed either. Yeah, you got to add more time when you take the bike
Yeah definately 🏍️👍

Same for me. I can move pretty quick if need be. Although, not many people call me at the last minute. 😂
@ 😂😂 That’s actually good! Too many times I’m called at the last minute!!
I like that bike!!
Thank you Patrick, I’m really enjoying it 🙂🏍️👍
@ I am sure!
Leave two hours early, so you can get a good ride in before you get there. Besides, you probably need to get fuel for the ride after work.
Man I wish I could do that. Seems like mornings go by quickly and before you know it’s lunchtime. 🙂👍
I don't want to be rushed either Neck
Same here, thank you Larry 🙂🏍️👍
I like giving myself plenty of time to get places and my wife likes leaving last minute. 🤷♂️
