How To NOT DIE on a Motorcycle in 2025

What’s your opinion on the new buell hammer head bikes?

1st. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Be safe on two wheels everyone..💯

You can't fix stupid.

People don't drive cars like they used to.
Yes, you MAY be riding proper and have the right of way BUT that don't mean nuthin' when that car pulls in front of you, or changes lanes in your space.
A cager can do anything that is unexpected and I mean anything.
Plan 2-3 seconds ahead of where you are and have a plan B at all times

Data from the Ohio Highway State Patrol shows that Ohio motorcyclists are particularly bad. Unlike most states, when a motorcycle is involved in a crash with another vehicle, it is the motorcyclist who is most often at fault.

That’s right Cycle Cruza. We city boys know what time it is. Because we see these assholes on a regular in the city. So we are on that everyone is out to hit us.

I noticed that you started turning to the right, to the safe zone when that guy pulled out. You ride defensively & with a 6th sense, Cyclecruza-Happy Thanksgiving & smart, safe riding in 2025.

Hey, I would like to know your opinion on Michelin Road 5s on mt07 from factory.... My expirience isnt that great... I got new 2022 mt07 and ofcourse new tires but I found them not grip enough in cold or wet. Maybe bcs they're made to last?

Garmin has a rear radar and camera and tail light for cycling but you can use it on your motorcycle. Also a lot of motorcycle riders in NM don't wear helmets and that's the worst thing you can do. Squids!

I pretty much ride defensively and am definitely not a speed rider, which makes zero since to me. What are you proving riding 100mph down a road? Is it really worth taking a chance? No.
With this I am annoyed that the airvest is so expensive. I have been told isn't your life worth it and I say back if life was worth it than why is it so expensive, would've it be in a price range where it is afforable to save lives, make it make since. Is the concern really about saving lives or making money? Go figure. Saving life equipment in my eyes are no different than pharmaceutical, and you know what we think about them. Anyway I have everything and do everything but the vest because I can't afford it and my insurance company won't help me, go figire that to. Discount on cage airbags but none to airvest, sucks.

I use the whole lane, but I'm guilty predominantly ride all the way to left of lane. So I can see too.

as far as high vis? I will always wear it when riding on the streets, I'm guilty of not wearing it when I'm off-road though.
I will admit that I do indeed wear black. / it's all I own is black. lol/
leather chaps, leather jacket, boots and gloves. street helmet is Red/black. and my motocross helmet is black with red/black goggles.

What I have noticed about deer over the years is they usually roam in groups. Especially the females... When I see one there is usually another one or two right near it... Good video.. thanks

And booze.
Ppl boozing and riding.

Women don't care😂. That's okay! I have a motorcycle. Suzanne is always willing and ready to go. I think you should atleast have a bright helmet for people behind you. I'm always ready to brake, swerve or accelerate for people in front. No packing from behind by a soccer mom thanks.

I see that you wear a black helmet recently I switched to a white helmet and I added the brake free helmet light on the back of my helmet I have gotten several comments from cage riders that pulled up to me at a stop light and said to me wow I can really see you so much better with the white helmet and the addition of the brake free light I have gotten so many comments on my brake free light give that light a try cycle cruiser that light is highly visible during the day and at night wow it's really bright e ery cage rider has commented on my brake free light how they see me so much sooner and better

A 700cc motorsickle is slow? It can do 130mph is slow? You lost your mind if you believe that. It's fast enough to get killed on. Cycle you need to downgrade to a Grom or a 50cc bike that's max speed is 60mph than if you want slow.

City riding is the biggest test of skills every rider should develop. You have to have your head on a swivle and be ready for the next move. Lane position, knowing the lights, paying attention to side streets, loud horns, and being seen. I wish more vendors would make gear in colors than black, grey, or brown. Red, orange, hi-vis, bright blue or green, are all colors that can save your life on the streets.

Northern tool stores sells some really nice hi viz hoodies and jackets

For horns, spend the money and get one of the air horns or the Hella supertones. They are loud and are not expected to come from a motorcycle so they draw attention even from distracted drivers.

If you are a night driver, extra lights are your best purchase and if you can't add lights, reflective strips. If you want to be the most safe, get a helmet stop light. They are amazing at keeping you seen. I had a driver almost hit me and he admitted the helmet light is what save me. Safety on the streets is the number 1 thing.

I nearly died when a ups truck pulled out in front of me, now I'm still waiting to get more surgeries until I can regain some mobility. The accident was bad I lost memory of it, luckily I was not going any faster because I could have been paralyzed,

Always test yourself in different weather conditions, especially snowing, youll lesrn very fast what not to do and what to do. And never ride on the highway when its snowing. Periodt.. I just took my himalayan out for its first snow storm. Had a wonderful time. Went to get some Indian ice cream. Talk about testing nerves and being paitent and im talking slick roads with accumulated snow and slush. Learn the bike. I was maintaining speed and even at times moving past slower cars. never make quick turning reactions. Downshift is very important as is neutral and letting the motorcycle coast when in safe speed limits of 15 and less. And grab some hippo hands no matter the adventure

Never turn the steering fast above 10 mph l. Main goals stay away from everything. Its a fact, always anticipate but never overreact. When you're stopped in traffic never center yourself behind the car put yourself to the left tire or right tire when behind a car and always give a car lengths distance to any car driving or stopping. See how you're riding along with the red car, don't do that. No car can be next to me unless youre doing 15mph or less. Also pay attention to the driver in your mirror. Youll know if they respect you. They'll give you 300 ft. I love those drivers. They never ride up on a motorcycle. Get away from them, the people that ride a long side of you or behind you and never alow the car in front to dictate your speed. Never give attention to any cars riding along side you with loud mufflers. They see motorcycle as race competition. . I hate people who attach themselves to me when im riding. I dont like that energy. If cars are going slow give three car lengths because the driver in front will set you up . You dont want to keep messing with the brake or the clutch riding with traffic, give major distance. My himalayan 450 is amazing. You can turn off abs put in eco mode which is great and you can put it in performance mode. Riding in the snow I was in eco mode. Which backs off the power until you get going. With somewhat of nobby tires the Himalayan loves snow. When riding in the snow watch for drivers that like to throw the snow toward you with their tires.

Ma man gets it
👍🏿

Happy Thanksgiving CycleCruza❤❤❤❤

Yes new Hampshire can not be taking people drivers license for minimum reasons.

Cycle cruza with the tips of lives, very nice.

If I cant filter I stop to the offside of my lane so my headlight is inline with the drivers side mirror so the person behind me can smash into the car infront instead of me being inbetween.

Happy thanksgiving man

I have owned all types of bikes small and big, been riding for over 33 years and now I'm bk on a 2015 yamaha R3 plenty for me at 51 now.

great comments,i like wobble bike when see car at intersection gets there attention also a bright led running light

People today can't leave their phone alone when driving. Life is MORE important than ANY call/text you will receive during a drive.

Happy Thanksgiving CC!

Most motorcycle accidents are single vehicle accidents. We like to blame the other vehicles on the roads, but need to understand that we as riders are the number one cause of motorcycle accidents.

Are you filming from Columbus OH?

I also assume everybody is out to get me. I have trust issues.

You should learn about and have a video on SMIDSY maneuver. Practicing it has prevented dozens of close calls on my end.

Ride as if you are invisible. Cuz you are. Always use the front brake, I have stopped many times, just in time, when cars turn left in front of me. FRONT BRAKE. Harley riders always claim, "they laid her down". Meaning they used the rear brake only, and the bike flopped on it's side and slide into the object they were trying to avoid.

A high vis vest makes you look bigger so a car driver can gauge better how fast they are closing on you.
When a rider wears all black, all the car driver sees is the brake light.
And the really bad news is, that your motorcycles brake light can blend into the pickup trucks brake lights you are behind.
If you are not wearing a high vis vest or a light colored helmet and a light colored jacket, you will get run over.
Beware loose fitting back packs too. They are all mostly black and if they drop down while you are riding, especially if your passenger is wearing a backpack, that backpack can cover over your brake light, making you a 'get run'd over' biker.

I am thinking of adding an additional light to my back brake light that shines a red light directly at the riders back and helmet every time the brake is used. That way the back of the riders entire body gets lit up. whenever they hit the brake light. That should make it way easier for car drivers to slow the blank down as they close on us at a intersection. That should not be hard to do. Just get a small red light and mount it to the back light housing, pointing forwards towards the rider, and wire it to the brake light leads.

This the content I like, pushing the culture the right way! Thank you CC and Happy Thanksgiving

I add extra brake lights to my bike, then tap the front brake to flash my lights when cars are pulling up behind me at a stoplight. 😢

Philippine's traffic jams is one of most difficult test for a rider's skills. It can make you unalive on an instant if tou act careless. The good thing though if you managed to survive, it's a huge accomplishment.

Anybody moving at 100mph, let alone 200mph, no amount of protective gear is going to help you.

Tu starting to annoy me with your obsession with this shot bro , move on

I live in Thailand. Second most dangerous roads in the world, I will be getting a chigee aio-5 lite for bike. Has cans front and back. When you slept w for stop, at 20 kph-rear video comes up so you can see the back, also has blind side detector radar

When I ride my motorcycle, I pull up behind either the left or right side of the car, not directly behind it. What are the names of the gloves and jacket you're wearing?
