25cc short of Nirvana. Why were 90cc-125cc bikes faster than this 50 years ago?

Trail braking : very much like Mark Donohue and the "friction circle" ...

I needed to see this one. Thanks!

I'll watch more later.

Helmut internals go in washing machine, add lingerie wash... and out comes negligee. Voila! 😂😂

The 2 most absolutest statements I can think of are still not 100% absolute: 1. never yank on the brakes…unless you are trying to skid slide and drift 2. Never use the front brake and throttle at the same time…unless during downshift revmatching and burnouts

@2:05 Strawman Falsehood. ALWAYS ALLWAYS lock a steelshanked-boot heal against the peg. also, that earlier shot of crapShoe w/duck-toe…wow…. wow u r danderous

Those Harbor Freight Portland pressure washers actually came out on top for the most pressure and gpm out of like 20 different pressure washers tested under $250 👍

8.5hp is fun in it's own way, but wait until you experience one with double the power... especially on the track with friends ;-)

So dangerous, using hands to lean a turn??? Steering happens on the feet, not the hands

Steering happens at the feet. NOT HANDS

💯% Thank You for All That You Do! Over time I have watched several so called Safety and Instructional Videos and I even tried some of their “ We’ve been doing it like this for a long time ideas,” some were helpful and some were not! I have now watched many of Your Videos through time because I believe the more we know the better we will do, and I have concluded that You Seriously Know what You are talking about and really care that You are giving Your Best Advice to Riders new and fairly seasoned, and as You Know even fairly seasoned Riders have Developed Bad Habits through time of riding! So, I personally would like to Thank You for All That You Contribute to The Biking Community! I did just SUBSCRIBE! 👍

I can’t believe it’s 2024 and we still need damn dial calipers to install a damn chain

Great information.

Great video and I appreciate the content. But the line you keep repeating - ‘Nature doesn’t repeat itself…’ try looking up fractals in nature. Thanks for helping us understand how to drive safer 🙏

Can you explain the up righting force a bike experiences with heavy rear brake and a slipping clutch in a very tight slow turn? I find I can go very slow in a very tight corner using this technique w/o feeling the bike wanting to drop. I need to get adjustable levers so I can closer control the all important friction point. The up righting force seems very strong, but I can figure out the dynamics how this works. Care to take that subject on?

Noted! New name was added to my list of names. Speed-onezee😂😂😂😂👍👍🤙

My wife and I both bought a Z125, comparable to the Grom. We rode it here and there. She even had hers customized with rear sets and anodized the rims, footpegs, levers etc. It was fun, but there's some pretty serious limitations out on the open road that made them less fun if I'm being honest. If you live someplace with 30 mph roads, that people *_actually_* do the speed limit, I think they would be fine. Around here, speed limit signs are ignored as much as BMW owners and turn signal levers. We ended up selling them, but we did okay on that end too.

Really like your presentation. Thanks.

Fabulous help, now looking for a video or someone to give me advice to help me on steep uphill turns that unexpectedly tighten mid turn, or start to level off. On a couple around here I have started to run wide, and closing off the throttle has not been enough. The best I can do so far is to keep the engine revs really high to maximise engine braking, and be very cautious on the entry speed on sharp uphill bends. Otherwise you are running wide and wondering what is worst, suddenly completely shutting off the throttle so you can then use the front brake, apply rear brake or counter steer. Bit late to be thinking about that then.

you definitely deserved the invite man, your coaching has improved our riding and took it to a whole new level. This is the best channel to learn about riding.

This video has saved lives…maybe even mine. Thank you sir.

Finally someone mentioning what honda has done with the horn and signals position. All motorcycles for the past 100 years have agreed to that, but no, Honda just has yo be different. And not in a good or useful way. Random info: Grom's name in Europe is MSX and it costs 3.900$USD

Thank you, great advices!

Your garage is a masterpiece!

Dave, you are MOST DEFINITELY not out of your league there! Your humility is quite admirable, though. I laughed myself to tears when you shared about canceling your turn signal instead of honking the horn. I about fell out of my chair. Sounds like me on my Gold Wing trying to enable the cruise control only to find out over and over again that the starter doesn't engage while riding, but it also doesn't engage the cruise control. My buddy had a Grom. He's an engineer and tricked out his Grom to get the best speed and performance out of it. He got it to top out at 84 MPH, and I believe he did some suspension work on it as well. He sold it after taking on a new job, but I suspect he'll get another one. For now, he bought himself a new Suzuki GSX-8R and has already modded it. He also brought it down to Traxxion Dynamics to have the suspension upgraded as well. It's a sweet ride!

Great video and content

I really would love to have a grom or a monkey 125 as a secondary small bike. Both are very cute and cool, how can one do not like those ?

Awesome! I love them and would absolutely own one if not for being 6'4" and 300lb. Small is ok, but there's a point where you just can't really ride it.

Groms are very charming. But a lot of what you said also goes for the Hunter 350, which has a lot more power for not even twice the money. It's enough of a compromise that it's both a Grom and secondary motir rolled into one commuter bike that looks like a small Bonneville. Of course im biased, but a honest good and practical bike doesn't need to cost a lot. The smaller to intermediate form factors are a lot of fun.

You're hands down my favourite riding channel. And it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow. So this makes it the perfect video :)

Thats the best sign in the world on your wall 😎😎👌👌 i trust any dog over human

Thanks for the video. Good like always. I check my tire pressure in the morning when it's 45° and go to work. 8 hours later, when it's 75°, I take an hour or two hour ride. Do I check the pressure again?

Wonderfully explained and genuinely pragmatic coaching. Thank you very much for sharing your learnings with simplicity.

The weather that race weekend was insane. How fun.

Quarter Million Subscribers is a small channel?? (eye roll). The helmet graphics look like a little kitty face. Seems right for the Grom Squad. Whoot!

I cycled for years before my MST and it really shows. It is a good way to master slow riding.

Love the grom I have a 2018 with alot of mods and I ride it more then any bike I got. BTW what backpack is that in the video

5:18 no, that too short chain is not useless and can easily be used. Just get a 2nd master link. 1) Remove that other pin on the short piece of chain to removed the remaining side plates. 2) Re-assemble the long and short pieces of chain with a master link 3) At the other end of the now long chain, break the chain at the correct spot. 4) With your 2nd master link, install the chain on the bike
