Moto Cat

I started riding in May of 2022. My one and only bike is the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. I LOVE IT!!
I'm a middle school music teacher with LAUSD and served in the Army Reserves for 8 years MOS R42 Band unit and Communications Signal Corps unit. One day I hope to take my dog Rusty on the back of my bike and do a camping trip.

    Nothing annoys me more about watching videos from people that don't know anything about mechanics is they call things the wrong name. For instance I'm less than three minutes into this and she's called a pliers a ranch, she's removing a clevis pin and called it a screw.

    Hey there ActivityPhoto, thanks for stopping by! I would like to think I’m less annoying than a toddler throwing a tantrum in a seat next to you on a plane…but I guess my video is far more annoying. You’re too young to be annoyed by my ignorance in the names of tools. I’m sorry about that, but then again, I never said I knew about mechanics or the names of the tools I was using. I simply made a video to show how to put these mini-boards on. It’s not to offend people or to annoy anyone like yourself.

    I don't get it, what happened? Why did it tilt over? Are you not tall enough or is it that the bike is too heavy once it tilts and will cause this to happen?

    Instead of going straight and splitting lanes like I should have. I went around to the right side of the cars so when I stopped my handlebars were turned. Any time you stop with the handlebars turned you will fall over. I couldn't straighten out the bars without falling. I could've hit the throttle, but there was too much traffic. I'm not that short...lol 5'5.

    I grew up riding Mopeds like they were Moto GP Bikes but I havent rode two wheels in like 12 years ( i'm 32 now) and never once been on an actual motorcycle. Did the research, watched 1000 videos...Now an owner of a 1100 DCT. I have to say, only having moped riding experience, this bike was shockingly easy to ride. From the first day I could do tight u-turns and figure 8's. I know motorcycles are different than mopeds in many ways, but I think those years as a teenager on a moped help out. I already had a sense of balance and how to use body weight and counter steering. But man this bike is easy as hell to ride and I love that. So happy this was my first ever bike!

    No clutch. I have a Dual Clutch Transmission. I have shifting pads. So just under where I turn on my blinker there is a pad to put it into lower gears and on the oposite side I have a pad to put it in higher gear or I can just let it automatically shift. If you don't use the pads it goes back into automatic shifting.

    @motocatz872 ай бұрын

    Everything is available on Amazon. 1. GoPro 9 and attach it to the GoPro Media Mod. *Note My best advice is to NOT USE the GoPro Adapter. It will ruin your GoPro. It moves around too much and after a while, you cannot connect it to any external mic. 2. Mic: Giant Squid Omnidirectional Mono Microphone. 3. Micro SD card: SAMSUNG PRO Plus microSD Memory Card 512GB. 4. Memory card reader that you use to download your videos to your computer. *Note: Sometimes they have problems and disconnect your memory card unexpectedly and when not ejected properly it will ruin your SD memory card. I use a Memory Card Reader, BENFEI 4in1 USB USB-C to SD Micro SD MS CF Card Reader. It’s been working great! Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope this helps!
