Interesting. When I bought my first helmet in 1973, it came with a black sun peak. The first thing I did was take it off.

Carbon Fiber is advanced high performance material. Good for weight savings and extra horsepower.

My dumbest purchase was a Harley Motorcycle.

Don't drop it .

Everything to do with motorcycles is expensive. The gear the bike with that dealer markup. The insurance. Can't run on regular so the gas and maintenance. And all for a simple toy.

Headlight cover - $73 for the cover + $122 shipping + $tupid amount of money to get it vinyl wrapped. That headlight cover ended up costing me $645 - YIKES! Yes, I made a video ua-cam.com/video/YnR5J1-UFbE/v-deo.html

my favorite motorcycle 'accessory' by far has been yellow tinted safety glasses. i purchased several pairs because i get annoyed by any little scratches

did your motorcycle come in chrome, or did you chrome it? thanks

You obviously wanted it. I've got a $5 piece of plastic doing the same thing on my helmet. I like your googles. Do they fit over your glasses?

The heart wants, what the heart wants.

One thing I’ve learned as an old guy is that nobody wants to hear what old guys got to say…it doesn’t matter if you are giving up the secret to everything. They just don’t wanna hear it.

My stupid decision was M series rear sets for my s1000XR. Stupid expensive but they look and function great.

I used to buy suction cup orange mohawks and put them on my helmet. It is dumb, especially on a small bike or scooter, but it does increase your visibility

Shipping cost is tax free.

Nice work getting the helmet/mic set-up dialed in.

Yep, the drugs were working well that day my friend! Not much I can say apart from I'm glad you can laugh about it. The cost of keeping the shade on your eyes hey..

Saddlebags for my 2021 Honda Monkey

Uh, much as I luv ya, I go back & forth & then I do not buy it. $50 for shipping? No, no sir, no siree....

What an interesting topic that I look forward to learn from. Like all Interceptor650 owners, I too have made multiple modifications. However, unlike many, I swiftly forgot the associated costs. Looking at my collection of boxes of surplus original- and replacement parts, I must've spent thousands! :) As an example of no regrets, I bought handlebars with as much pull-back as replacement extended control cables permitted. An even better riding comfort enhancement, were the relocated forward (by about four inches!) footpegs and foot-controls. As for general biking gear, I am reminded of my leather jacket that I ordered too big and so, I then tried to shrink it by running it through the washing machine (which kinda worked a bit). By the third leather jacket, I had found my size! :) I too, looked into Davida's open face helmets, mainly because of their reputation for being relatively quiet. However, that carbon fibre peak is well beyond my level of desire! :)

I ride KTM’s. That’s my dumb decision that I love! They cost SOOOO much more than the big 4 but they’re perfect t in almost every way bone stock and for that I LOVE THEM!

U CAN'T FIX STUPID! COULD HAVE BOUGHT A FAIRING FOR THAT! Cheers, DINO😂.

remember the visors that had mirrors in them..

I waft along on an Interceptor so am sensible. As a result, I struggled to think but then remembered my last purchase! GIVI plastic panniers then on receiving them realising I needed the GIVI mounting frame that cost as much again. 😮

Well , well , i bet jabo thinks highly of your mathematical abilities to purchase items for the motorcycle . Let me see , wasn't you looking for another watch ? 😂

I know I've spent a ton of money accessorizing all my bikes because when I compare it to other models they look drab. I even know a dealer just gives you trade in on the bike.!!! I'll just say " a fool and his money are soon parted." LOL 🤑🤑🤑

Warp9 rear wheel with a Cush drive for my Husqvarna 501. Expensive but if it saves my gear box it's worth it.

I have 7 helmets and looking lovingly at number 8. Nuff said.

We pay for a certain look uncle. For some individuals it is a status item like a bmw or a Mercedes. The only accessory I needed on the Himalayan was front Viterra 2.0 trail bags. Other than changing the oil, filter, and plug every 3000 miles. 5th change coming up at 9000 miles. This is all I required but everyone has different needs. Great topic, Uncle 👏!

Something very similar....I bought a open-face half-helmet from a Harley dealership in Evanston, Chicago.....and then found out later, they did a nice small clear visor ....for $40....the helmet was about $50, and a little bit of clear plastic was almost the same price.....and this was getting on for 15 years ago....still have the helmet, still love it....

Torches and camping lights,they attract me like a moth 😂

My Honda monkey farkles include a tiny shoe on my kickstand, a foot shaped color matched brake pedal, and a small whirly fan that spins when riding 🤣. I’m probably forgetting something but yeah gotta love the small stuff. And it always stinks when shipping prices are silly high.

Going west on RT. 56 between 151 and the Parkway is Montebello and Crabtree Falls (@ 15:00) and Ravens Roost was a hang-glider haven for many years; my house is in the valley off in the distance about 8 or 9 miles away. With the Parkway so close by it is very convenient as you well know. 😊

Wow you and Jobu are blessed with some amazing riding country and the bike sounded amazing. I recommend taking a chopping board for your side stand - it also comes in handy when wearing high heels. 😂

Thanks! awesome run, i hope Jobu wasn't too hung over the next morning. Thanks for the mention, you got my name right 😂

Yep, I enjoyed the ride, the scenery, and your commentary. Very well done. Now, if I could only figure out how to get myself and my motorcycle up to VA…

You sir, are EXACTLY whom I needed to see with the Long Ride Panniers and the full size Duffle bag. Because I wanted to find out how it would look on my Moto Guzzi. It looks perfect, not cumbersome at all. Thank you for filming this, I really appreciate it!

Hi there, I appreciate this video-it brought back memories of those scenic routes.

7:09 Rockfish Gap is 5 miles from my house, very much like the Parkway is east of you up Rt 60 from Buena Vista. 50 years ago we rode our bikes or drove our hot rods and partied on the mountain. I worked for years land surveying in the Rockfish Valley, it was hot and humid. There were no breweries for many years and now we are inundated with them. 😊

The blue ridge tunnel is at Afton, goes under skyline/250/64. About 8/10 mile long. The east entrance is a much easier approach to the tunnel than the west entrance. Drove by 56 many times, didn't know about the bridge over the Tye river. Enjoying the videos!

After watching your GT having issues, mine stumbled twice at a Dairy Queen- stalling twice but made it home. Cleaned and regressed the relays the next morning. Back to normal. Enjoyed today's video.

Mead is awesome. Trust me. I live in viking country.

👍👍

Is the front fender aluminum or plastic?

Great to see Jobu having a good time. Your GT sounds great too.

Near the end of the video all that booze appeared to do its trick 😅 Great ride 👍

My ENFIELD INTERCEPTOR is more than enough POWER!!!

Good video Uncle.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙌

In '77' I was 19 . Dang it's been awhile back voodoo . Memories ! You talking so much , it looked like jabo's hair turned completely white 😅😂

These 650s are prone to relay failures under the left side panel, often the connections are full of grease from the factory. Clean with contact cleaner. If the battery light stays on for a short time after starting, it's the rectifier under the engine.

You should buy a classic Italian bike, that will put your electrical issues into perspective 😂
