    Hey, I know this is an old video, but maybe it will help with the algo. I found your channel today and pretty much watched all your videos already. I live in MN too. So I just finished my MSF course yesterday and passed. Right now I'm trying to determine what bike I should get come spring time. I'm still not sure, but the CBR 500 is now a contender thanks to your content. Keep it up, and I hope to see more of your vids.

    Hello Tommy, I am interested in these boots. But I ride a low to mid speed. It's a Apollo city pro. The top speed it's 32mhp/50 kmph. I mainly ride in the heat of 60-85F. From your experiences does it flow more air in these vented boots feel like these more air during the hot summer days? Please message back. This will be my last outfit protection gear for my list.

    Hey! I don’t think you should have any issue with heat in these boots. There is a bit of flow but not as much as if you were to get the Rideknit pair. It may get toasty at 85 degrees, but will also keep you nice and warm at 60 degrees!

    Ive owned my cbr500r for a little over 3 years now and I can safely say I have no complaints about it, havent had any mechanical issues and its being driven in standard Irish weather which is on the wet side for most of the year it has never let me down! I absolutely adore this bike, it looks amazing, so smooth to drive, its not too heavy and it can overtake cars in fast lanes with no problem. Im only 5'3 and I can touch the floor comfortably with both feet and sit upright. It manages fuel very well using only a little over half a tank on a 3 hour drive travelling 207km across the country. It also gets a ton of compliments at local bike gatherings and many people mistake it for a fireblade due to the shape and colours lol

    It's called a dead red light. In some states motorcyclists can treat a non responsive stoplight like a stop sign as long as they yield to other traffic. The dead red rule applies in Arkansas, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin, which allow a motorcyclist to proceed with caution after coming to a complete stop through a red light that fails to detect the bike. Oregon and Washington similar laws but I couldn't find anything with a quick search.

    I have this bike and love it. The handling is solid, decent weight combined with low centre of gravity improves confidence. Not going to smoke my CBR 1000RR but that's not the point. Mine was less than $6,500 brand new so not sure what others are talking about. Even if it's more than others of the same class, Honda has a well-deserved reputation of quality engineering and reliability. In my experience their stuff is bulletproof and worth every penny.
