Yeah, I prefer everything on the same chanel. I hate sub channels. I believe UKposts channels should be back to the "hey I'm someone and this is what I wanted to talk about" and not more specific themed channels and subchannels madness it is today. Keep on keeping on!

Oh wow! Congrats on 1 million subs! I totally missed that. I think I subscribed not long after you had started and still thought of you as a small channel. Haha, I guess the channel isn’t that small anymore! 🤣 I’m glad there are a million other subscribers enjoying your excellent content! 👌

Anyone who’s not interested in motorcycles can skip those videos, no problem. No need to create a second channel unless you’d produce at least 24 motorcycle videos a year I’d say. And once more: Congratulations! 🥳

Great video actually. I got my first motorcycle at ten, rode it every day. Of course I had to learn to work on it but there was no impetus to run away. Home was the base for fun. Late teens I got a 69 charger r/t 440 Magnum. I did have to learn to work on it but the majority of that was playing and fun. Might have run from cops eager to issue speeding tickets, but I don't remember 😂 okay. I still shared those fears of getting trapped in the rat race but I had my escapes early on. It all works out, we just have to find our way.

amazing video ❤❤

But there's always at least one in front of a lawyer firm or a dentist's office 😁

But you can see it in front of morgues or hospitals

@@Kodreanu23 Along with skateboards, fast cars, ladders and guns - so live in a cocoon?

Also chairs. You'd be surprised how many people die each year climbing on a chair trying to kill a mosquito or a fly. Also, slipping in the bathtub. So, let flies crap on you and don't take baths 🤟

We too are broke af

I'm broke too,but I still don't have a use for this type of bike.

Same

You don't have money because you never studied money.

Exactly! I read rich dad poor dad 3 times since 6am today and now I'm a billionaire

So much fan service!

agreed

that squeezed a hearty chuckle outta me!

Beautiful sentence

Bikes aren't driven, they are ridden... You can't sit inside the bike to drive. You sit on it and ride...

@@REDLINERUNNER Oh no, I only have a driver's license, not a rider's license!

@@MicraHakkinen It's called driver's licence, but English is special language... For example you are traveling by car or on bus, but in both cases you are inside the vehicle...

love this phrase!! holds so true for motorcyclists, being present in the moment is essential for your survival!

Never too late. I got into motorcycles later than cars as well and it's everything I've ever loved about cars but more and better. I almost feel sad that it's overtaken my life-long love for cars but there's truly not a single experience in my life that I love more than riding my motorcycle.

Do it!

I’m 45 and I am to …been into overlanding which I love but I can bring this with.

go dualsport, I started doing it last year also mid 30's, after only riding road since I was 21, and now I recommend it to everyone who is considering a bike just for the fun of riding. I went crf300l just for the minimal maintenance compared to the more offroad focused machines, and on the stock tyres it behaved very well on the road if you find yourself mostly there and still worked fine offroad unless it was really wet/muddy, or change them for something more knobby if you find yourself enjoying the offroad more to really get the most out of it. Though people do it, I wouldnt recommend a 300l if you're thinking about long road trips

Facing 44.. 36 I still had an amazing body but I’m pretty far from that due to marriage and a slip and fall accident shortly after. I’ve always been good on bikes, better than most, but never got a motorcycle bcs of its deadly reputation. However just a couple weeks ago I traded a personal build for a surron x and I love it and it feels like it’s going to get me into better shape bcs the dirt bike really is a workout off road.

Thank you so much for that

you got this man

Great video, you've certainly helped motivate me to fix up my old dirt bike and get out there. My story hits a lot of the same notes as yours, especially early on. except I did start on bikes young and I did run away once...eventually snapped at 22 after having dropped out of school and working menial tech support jobs. One day I packed my bags, sold my beautiful but extremely high maintenance 1990s vfr400 and set off to ride from london to moscow and back on a cub90. Came back, started back in a new place with my then girlfriend and got another boring tech job. I was immediately miserable and got fired in 3 months, rinse and repeat another couple of times. Eventually picked myself baxm up and decided i would teach myself to code and pivot to becoming a software developer which was more interesting and would allow me to try my hand at becoming a digital nomad. Fast forward 6 years, 3 jobs, 1 pandemic later, I'm now established in my career and living in a new place on my own, but with the opportunity to own and ride motorbikes...I got hooked back in by a guy I met in a bar who had just passed his license. 2 weeks later I was the proud hooligan owner of a ktm 690 duke, and it was the most fun I'd had in year blasting down the b roads on it...and all without having to do stupid speeds, just like my vfr400 it could demolish bigger heavier bikes on the right road, with the right rider. All whilst truly having to work the bike and at (mostly) legal(ish) speeds. Anyway, I think you've convinced me to try and become a functional mechanic and get out on some trails by recommisioning my old Honda NX650 and hitting the dirt. Maybe I'll eventually trade in the 690 duke for a 690 rally...

ohhh.....and I'm still riding!

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them and they're the reason why I make videos like this from time to time

D4d is the only channel that can make a philosophical vídeo and science videos and reach the same audience

If that's a dual sport then an Escalade is a hatchback

​@@d4aEscalade is a A-class car. Or You can write it's city car. On some markets it's "kei" car. 😂

Living the dream !

Its many years since the bmw gs was a nimble fun offroader. The new ones are sport tourers, and horrible at that too

Yep I did that but not Starbucks, shite coffee

Yeah I almost feel like he didn’t touch on that concept enough. There’s so much going on, leaning, clutch work, gear changes, front and rear brakes… double or triple that if you’re off road or if you’re in a group. yes, it’s overwhelming at first, but years later I don’t know a better way to clear my mind

WTF!!! how much did it cost you? Love it!

I ride straight through our cold/dark/wet/occasionally snowy climate here in PA. For anyone reading this, seriously, the weather shouldn’t be your reason to not ride. There’s insulated and heated gear, once you’re going it doesn’t even matter

A Skateboard down hill at 50kmph trumps both of those for thrills v budget ...

First gen? 2.5? 2.6?

@@d4a 1997 RS FOUR E-WGNC34, RB25DET S2, AT. Bought it for criminal cheap with blown up engine. Got a new engine from japan. It runs, but turned out the intake manifold was warped during transport. So i got a greddy style intake manifold and thus i went down the rabbit hole of new turbo, ecu and all that stuff

The cool factor of that car is off the charts in my book. I'm a rabbit hole regular 😂 here's the funny part, after being through it 3 times my only advice is power through it, embrace the wins and the fails, enjoy the journey and the lessons, the destination is just icing on the cake.

Print it on a poster and sell it as merch ;)

I had a motorcicle at 14 (50cc) then at 18 I got a 99' CBR600, then at 20 a 2006 GSX-R 750, I was able to ride on a race track once and at that moment I realized that the bikes on the street are just too dangerous, I sold it. Now like 18 years later I found the need for one as a transportation, and I bough a small 400cc bike, then a month later I got a company car and I didn't need the bike at all, and you know what?, I don't miss it, I found that riding on the streets nowadays is more dangerous than before due to the increase of population of my area, it's a tourist place and in summer is the hell, simply too dangerous. So my advice, if you can get one and have fun in a controlled enviroment, go ahead. The real danger are the other drivers, avoid them as much as you can. If you fall (that is 100% guaranteed, all riders fall eventually because is oil, ice or whatever on the road) and you wear protection, you'll be fine.

Don't ride on the street and don't do stupid shit and you're 99% safer lol. I also witnessed my dad have a pretty brutal bike accident that ended with him getting a shiny new titanium addition to his femur. He tried crossing a ridiculous off camber section, and said seconds before "ok, now this is where we make decisions"... Yeah, that about says it lol. Keep it to single track and off road and don't try to be the next Pastrana, and the worst you'll likely see is a nasty bruise.

yep, do soo much for the hot chicks! if they only knew...
