I can't believe none of you have heard of a square knot. shorten your laces enough to when you tie the knot it is toward the end of the laces and you have nothing dangling all tied. Or if you have high tops like converse wrap the laces around your ankle and then tie the knot to take up the extra lace. or wear boots
I carry a small gym backpack that I fold up under my seat just in case I need to stop and pick up some groceries. I've never had scratches while washing my bikes and the insects hit at autobahn speeds. Servus from Germany!

You can also put the new rubber grips in to a bowl of boiling water for a small period of time. The rubber will expand a little bit which makes it easier to put them on the handlebar. Just remember not to burn yourself while trying to get the grips out of the water.

Dude, you’re legend. What a nice, entertaining and soft to watch video bro... The rod/ring bolt to carry the bike and the GoPro mount sanded was the cherry on top in this vid. Thanks rips!
Grip hack: WD40. It will disperse moisture, but provide temporary lube for slipping the grip on. After a few minutes, it's good to go. Also, to get the grip off, use an air compressor with a short 1/4" copper tubing on the end of a nozzle. Insert it into the grip end or next to the switch housing and then the grip will puff up and easily slide right off.
I have used that t-shirt trick for years now, it comes real handy when you don't have a bag🤘🏻
Eye bolts with the threaded rod through the axle for tie down points is a great idea plus it provides a minor industrial / steam punk motif.

When removing the clutch pack, you should at least mark the positions. The steel plate and friction plates are most probably built in to minimize overall high and low sections due to manufacturing tolerances and therefore increasing the clutch's performance and behaviour during slip. On a bike, the comfort issues may be much less than in a car, but still it would be advantageous.

On older bikes when the clutch got grabby I used to mix up the positions on purpose. I would even alternate spinning the metal plates backward. This would end up expanding the engagement point softening it up a bit and that got rid of the grabby feeling. MFR's got wise to this and started making different thickness plates so now they go in a certain order. Thats great when it is new to soften the engagement point but later you can be stuck. The basket gets worn to that pattern so now you can try the oil trick but if it just wont go away it might need a new baskket.
I honestly love the moto community so much, this video was so great and just reading the comments has my spirit up. I’m too young for a bike now but you bet when I get my hands on one I’m going to have a ball.

Awesome job on the Video. My hack I use, I put magnets on my bolt for my oil drain. Catches nasty contaminates. AND helps change lights in case my bike doesn't have enough metal to trigger the lights.
Those laces are still a snag risk, just do what every kid in the early 2000s did and tuck them into the shoe on the right and left side of the shoe tongue. Works and looks good too.
For the handle bars, just leave them in a warm bath for a couple of minutes, they will expand and you can leave them on while you wait for them to cool down.
shoe lace hack is the pretty one I liked it.
I’ve always tucked my laces behind the tongue, just think it looks clean. Never thought about a lace catching up on the pegs so I think that’s the most useful tip.
Awesome content mate ! Keep up !
What's that shelf you used for helmet and glove?
Instead of remove clutch cover, you should slightly bent your bike towards the clutch side and start the bike..It works the same...😎😎

A couple of weeks ago I rode out and spent some of my last few bucks on cereal and sat down to eat. I figured there would be milk in the fridge but there wasn’t. I was so pissed that I had to go back out in the sub-40° temp and rain that I rushed out of the house and forgot my bookbag and didn’t realize until I already bought a quart of milk. So I had to put that down my shirt. The woman in the parking spot next to me died of laughter while I was fuming mad lol.

For the red bull hack, you have two options: 1- Place the can inside the inner pocket of the jacket. 2-insert the can good from your shoulder to one of the long sleeves of the jacket. For the fifth hack: use tree buckets, not two=soap water has to come off with clean water. And for the bonus hack, you can filter clean your dirty motor oil by draining the used engine lubricant in a container, then use a sponge inside a funnel to separate the burned metal friction residue.
