How to wash a motorcycle jacket

[wojtekc27]

cool vid

[wojtekc27]

dude ur so funny why wound you hang it where the sun shine

[halfthrottle]

@wojtekc27 So it dries faster. It's so humid here that can take a long time for clothes to dry outside.

[wojtekc27]

@wojtekc27 i ment WHY WONT, bc where u put it in the video it was in the shade, but we can see in front of the house there is sun shine so hang it there buddy

[Kaivalaginiviti]

Twin tubs last forever, bought my in-laws one in Fiji...nothing like that anymore here in the UK...so uncomplicated and simple if they do go wrong it's a doddle to fix :)

You should also treat your jacket with some waterproofing treatment in the wash and spray on after ;)

[KeithCindyPanama]

Remember laundry is an endless cycle.

That was from a sighn.

[KeithCindyPanama]

Thanks for the video. Give's me an idea of what type of a washer I should get.

[Apex0825]

what company is that washing machine? i like it =D

[halfthrottle]

@Apex0825 The brand name is Nisato and I guess the model is LWM-140LP. Must be a fairly big company because our stove is also made by them.

[Apex0825]

@halfthrottle thanks =D wonder if they're available in the states.

[MadStu]

Errr... You know I ride a Harley right?.... Well I can confirm it's all true ;-)

[halfthrottle]

@MadStu Actually this was the first time in well over 10,000 miles I had washed my jacket. I should look into picking up a Harley.

[shawnpack]

@halfthrottle Yeah, I'd believe it. The rinse water was filthy looking.

[2wheelsteve]

Nor just do what I did,

get a wife haha

[eveRideorg]

"People with Harley Davidsons don't know how to wash stuff." Bwahahaha!

"If you thought this video was... DAMMIT!" BWAAAAHAHAHA!

[eveRideorg]

"People with Harley Davidsons don't know how to wash stuff." Bwahahaha!

Ryan, I don't even know where to begin. Thank you for making this silly, funny, entertaining, interesting and completely ridiculous video. When I made my original request for you to do a video about something as humdrum as doing the laundry, I just knew you'd make something of it - and would teach us a little bit more about life in Panama. And you did. Thank you my friend! Rob in Vancouver. PS: Thank you for the shout-out too!

[halfthrottle]

@RobKelly63 Yeah I only made it because this laundry machine is so different than anything in the states. No prob on the shout out you do good work.

[GOTTshua]

I just wear my gear while riding in a torrential downpour and it's all good.

[halfthrottle]

@GOTTshua I've been through my fair share of torrential down pours, and that wash water damn near turned to mud.

[FPSbob1]

I am not going to click that box a. In the words of George Bush: fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

[halfthrottle]

@FPSbob1 LOL. No more Rick Rolls I promise, that is actually a subscribe button. Because I know that human beings and fish can coexist peacefully.

[kary1982v6]

good vid LMBO at the end!

[halfthrottle]

@kary1982v6 Yeah my frustrating moment at the end really made the video.

[dahveed284]

How does anything dry during the rainy season?

While I generally don't watch video's about washing clothes (or washing anything for that matter) its interesting to see how people in other parts of the world handle their daily mundane business of living - eating, sleeping, washing, commuting, etc.

Good production values and creative story telling can make just about any task into a interesting video.

[halfthrottle]

@dahveed284 It usually only rains in the afternoon's here during the rainy season. It's actually really nice because it cools the house off in the afternoon.

[halfthrottle]

@Baggahammers Nah man I'm to easy going, I don't block many people, and I don't care who likes or doesn't like my motorcycle. Life is to short.

[halfthrottle]

@Baggahammers Just kidding about what? That KLR is beat down! And it is only going to get worse the way I ride.

[halfthrottle]

@Baggahammers Thanks I was worried about this video making people say, "WTF I want motorcycles." I'll get some riding videos online soon.

[tubewatcher314]

"..just to spite me!.." LOL

[halfthrottle]

@tubewatcher314 My arch nemesis is working over there!

[MartinTheMad]

How about rain soaked and now dry super stinky shoes?

[halfthrottle]

@MartinTheMad One trick to help them dry faster when wet it to stuff them with newspaper. It absorbs the water, just change it out a few times once it becomes saturated.

[simplysped2]

How about washing the liner of a helmet?

[halfthrottle]

@simplysped2 I just did that today, but didn't film it. I think you are supposed to hand wash your helmet liner, but I just threw it all in the washing machine and everything turned out just fine.

[funkiershit]

It's still entertaining boss, that's the main thing ;)

[halfthrottle]

@funkiershit Yeah for sure, anything I film has a main purpose of entertainment.

[bakker46]

What is in the aquarium on the desk ?? An aquatic turtle perhaps , i'm asking because i got one myself :-)

[halfthrottle]

@bakker46 There is actually 2 in there. Much to small of space for them I feel bad for them but a larger aquarium is to expensive. I've been thinking about releasing them in the pond near my house.

[bordone]

pretty informative

[ToastToGo]

LMAO at the dude cutting bricks haha.

[halfthrottle]

@ToastToGo Damn those bricks.

[ToastToGo]

Haha I loved this.

[rebelyell91]

Typical food in Panama (hopefully rice lol). I think that would be very interesting

[halfthrottle]

@rebelyell91 Yeah that would be cool, I could also talk about the price of food here. Things like pineapples and bananas are dirt cheap, and amazing!

[rebelyell91]

@halfthrottle wow yeah, there ya go!

[Krazer2100]

how to do a wheelie??? :)

[halfthrottle]

@Krazer2100 Yeah then as a follow up I could make, "How to pick yourself up from an accident and get to a hospital." My wheelie skillz are weak.

[funkiershit]

This is brilliant! Especially the end. Lol!!!!

[halfthrottle]

@funkiershit Thx, I do need to get back to making some riding videos though.

[pulse0000]

My grandmother had a washing machine along the the lines of that one.It was old Maytag ringer washing machine from the 40's.I remember having to get the hose out or going to her well with a bucket to get water in order to use it.It still runs as far as i know.Also how dare your neighbor cut brick while you v-log talk about being inconsiderate ;-).

[halfthrottle]

@pulse0000 That construction crew has spend a lot of time wondering, what the hell that crazy gringo is doing in his back yard with a camera all the time.

[svengalie]

right around 2:22 he remember he'd left his cellphone in the pocket of the jacket....

[halfthrottle]

@svengalie "Oh no! My $13 cell phone!"

[SummerTheFuzzy]

@svengalie hey sven

[late95]

nice video, but what do you have in that tank? Turtles ? Fishes?

[halfthrottle]

@late95 Aquatic turtles. I did have a bit about them in the video, that is why I put them out there, but my first edit was around 8 minutes long so I cut the turtles out.

[halfthrottle]

@late95 If you watch in HD and put it full screen you should be able to see them cruising around in there.

[late95]

@halfthrottle oh yea, they sure are sweet, but youtube makes it way too hard to watch hd videos they should have a setting that put the videos automatically to the best quality.

[halfthrottle]

@late95 Account settings --> Playback Setup --> Check box for "Always play HD when switching to fullscreen (when available)"

[late95]

@halfthrottle yes i know that but i would like to watch them automatically in hd even when not in full screen, because i usually don't think of putting it to full screen.

[Doubledge007]

Good video. What made you deside to move to panama? Was it work related? If so what kind of work do you do?

[halfthrottle]

@Doubledge007 I've always enjoyed Central America and planned on living here eventually. Moved here for a girl. My wife is Panamanian.

[Doubledge007]

@halfthrottle nice. Thanks for answering. I enjoy your videos very much.
