I found your channel looking at vids of FZ07's... still in my sights as my next bike. Its been more fun watching for other reasons than for the bike itself. Thanks man! And envy your buddy....he's with the Lord and happier than he ever would have been here on Earth.

You guys are the best. @Jason, you're right, he's way better off than we are for sure.

Super hard to find somebody as authentic and good hearted as you. After hearing your story I think that tatt is bad ass haha. Just like your tattoo what’s most important is what you make of things and no matter what try to always have fun in life no matter what happens. Kinda funny something on your ass is so inspirational lol. All jokes aside Im truly sorry for your loss man. But honestly your videos are great, they really show who you are as a person and its great to see someone doing what they love and truly having fun with life. Super inspired and hope to keep seeing you do you on youtube. Much love from Puerto Rico, God bless brother

First off, I always miss comments and usually it's fantastic ones from great people like you Carlos, I do apologize. Thank you for the kind words man, you're far too kind. If it wasn't for people like you, I absolutely would not do this anymore, but the support from the real audience is what keeps me going. I can't thank you enough man

Great video Smiley. Love the story, very bittersweet. You're keeping Wesley's memory alive.

I love seeing a new video is up from you, dude...just started watching, and I was struck by the fact you don't have any mirrors. Are they not required where you live? Touching story, Colton! Sorry about your buddy....Thanks for getting real, man--good story!

I put on some super cheap mirrors from Amazon I think in one of the build series vids, and it literally fell off like a month later. I've just not ordered anything to replace them, so I've been riding illegally for several months now. The CRF has two tiny spot mirrors inside the handguards which are pretty much pointless so I basically ride dirty on both of them. I do need to get some for both for sure. Thanks for the kind words man, you're the best!

My outtakes from this video: 1. Tattoes can be whatever the fuck you want them to be. Yours sounds funny as hell - and the only thing that matters is that you like it. (And the story definitely makes it worth it) 2. I want my text message notification sound to be "HELL YEAH BOY!" now. 3. Im sorry about your friend, but it was nice to hear you talk about him. 4. Keep teliing stories. You're good at it. Have an awesome day!

I definitely agree about tattoos, I didn't make myself clear enough in the video. I got nothing against anybody having any kid of tat, most just aren't for me. Thanks for the kind words my friend, I sure appreciate it!

Smiley, awesome vid man. You seem like a real cool dude I'd love to ride with. Just bought a '18 MT07, same color scheme. Your channel is easily one of the best in KZread. Great story, both funny and touching at the same time.

Loved the story man, laughed my butt off, sorry about your friend, I know the feeling. Keep riding and be seen.

I first watched your channel several months ago, when I was researching fz07s. I found your channel again and I've been benge watching them this time. Your accent reminds me of my family. Your self-deprecating sarcasm makes me think you may be family. Half way thru this video, I was thinking, I want to sit around a campfire with this guy. Then after you opened up about losing a friend, I really felt compelled to leave a comment. I dont have any amazing words of wisdom. Just wanted you to know i love your videos. They're hilarious! I could watch them every day. Where in AL are you? I'm near the FL/GA/AL tri-state area.

I'm glad you stumbled on my terrible channel once again, glad to have you back! The whole reason I kept on making videos in the beginning is because of the over-abundance of people trying to be larger than life here, and the reason I keep going to this day is people like you saying again and again how they appreciate the honesty. I really appreciate it homie, I'm glad you enjoyed this vid and any of the others! I'm about 30 mins from Gadsden, out in the boonies

@@HiVizSmiley I know you're busy w life and all, but figured I'd reach out see how things are. Had the new kid yet? I'm leaning towards the an older sv650 right now. I like the fz better but one of the things keeping me from getting an fz07 is the insurance! I'm familiar with dirt bikes but have never owned a motorcycle so it's about 1100/yr for insurance. Have you found a company cheaper than that?

You should stick with this youtube thing. I think you've really the something extra that makes channels succeed, and I just want to say that if you stick with this and keep at it, I strongly believe you'll be at 100k subs or more in no time! So that being said, *I was here before 1000 subs!* 😂 Best of luck, man, glad I found your channel. P.S. I plan to get an FZ07 next. Started on friends' dirt bikes, got a ninja 250, then an R6 (the pinnacle of my riding), then a harley fat bob, now a kx250f dirt bike and got into mountain biking. I gotta have two wheels!!

You'll love it if you get one, FZ's have so much character it's insane. I need to get my Rockhopper back 100% and hit some trails with it soon, I'm getting the itch again. Lastly, I really do appreciate the kind words man, even though I sure don't deserve all the nice things you've said, it does make me want to keep going for you guys. Really, thank you.

I'm not complaining, because it was right at the tail end of the story that needed told...but I really wanted to see that one curve near the bottom of that big rise. That thing has been a booger bear for every car I've had except for the magical couple of months I had a Saleen.

The sharp curve at the bottom of the hill on the road you turned onto at 12:40. I've always called that area Duck Springs, but I'm not sure that's actually what it's called. I did a lot of my running around when I was younger in both Aroney and the Pleasant Hill area in a 240sx. Tons of great roads, and now that I'm thinking about a motorcycle, I find myself trying to remember my old routes for goofing off.

chris d Oh yeah, you're right about it being duck springs, or at least that's what i call it. The problem with most roads here is all the rocks and grass people blow in the road, it's a whole lot easier to go 9/10s in a car than it is on a bike for sure. I still don't go too hard anywhere around here

this literally made me laugh out loud 😂
