RyanF9 gives you a lesson in fishing. Metaphorically, that is. Along the way, you'll learn a thing or two about what makes some motorcycling gear great and some not-so-great.

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life...

"DOT is a dinosaur, we just dropped an asteroid of a video on it, in hopes of pushing the outdated standard towards extinction " You put a lot more thought into your scripts than I pick up on.

I’ve been a motorcycle cop and instructor for many years and this is one of the best videos out there.

I am a mechanical engineer, and I 100% agree with you. The information you gave on different kinds of plastic (like thermoplastic, I specially liked that one) is as accurate as one can give. Please keep making informative videos, you and your team are really good at it.

An eye opener, a red pill moment, no Bs That's how real videos should be more detailed and analytical Keep up the good work👌👌👌👌

8:36 a correction and an important addition for anyone getting deep into standards. For high level protection look to see if the clothing meets EN13595 either in part of in full. Clothing made to prEN17092 has different levels starting at B (no impact protectors) A (same as B with impact protectors added), AA – medium level protection – and AAA which is high level. Even though prEN17092 is a newer standard, even AAA prEN17092(pr refers to it being a provisional standard) is (currently) inferior compared to EN13595. For the best, look for fully certified EN13595 clothing.

I can’t believe a motorcycle gear website makes this content. Actual education that informs the consumer. Amazing!

I recently got my rider learner's permit - had to do a couple of days of very light instruction. These videos should be required viewing. Seriously, mate, you're doing incredible work here and actually helping to keep people safe. Thank you!
