short gears FTW, road rage - Sat Night Cruise 2

[shitehawkish]

what a hero LOL

[turtlemann14]

lol i am generally in second be time i get across and intersection. my bike tops out at 120mph but it's fun to play with on very twisty roads and such

[eskibeatz]

fagggggs

[suffolked]

I will stand with my comment. Thank you.

[suffolked]

Varoom. Varoom. Blah blah blah. You wasted 5 minutes of my life with this. WHY?!!!!

[frankboblarry]

@suffolked ah well, cant be much of a life to begin with :P in fact, you might wanna go get one if you're sad enough to watch a vlog and say you dont like it after one vid. NOBODY likes vlogs very much on the first vid, its when you start to get to know the vlogger and the people involved that they become interesting, either watch a couple more vids, make an opinion and keep it to yourself, or just get lost and stop trolling perfectly good videos with silly comments.

[wotusay69]

dude, is this part of ur counselling? was a normal youtube bike vid till u started blurting all that bollocks out to the cam......all by urself......i didnt hear anyone ask u how u were doin n how ur life was.......so im guessing u talkin to urself. u know, at one point i actually thought u were gonna start talkin bout the guy who's fuckin ur missus while u go out riding......on ur own

[eskibeatz]

you are a complete faggot

[frankboblarry]

@eskibeatz you are a complete dipshit, get a life!

[schoolterrorist]

im im im im im not understanding what this videos about

[XxSaxCannon921xX]

@schoolterrorist it's a second part, that's probably why

[schoolterrorist]

okayyyy

[ImTheMightyOne]

He's complaining about drunks.

But i found the only way i could enjoy riding my GSXR 750 was drunk due to massive amounts of traffic, speed cameras and police cars.

[saleenxxx]

what kind of camera is he using anyone know?

[NORCOHUCKER]

Fair play to you :D

[lowbrowcustoms96]

in general im im im im im in general lol

[lutontownhatter]

im im im im im im buisy

[MrElectronicReviewer]

im im im im im im im m im im im

[kj7687]

You think your bike has low gearing lol try riding a bike where you are literally into fourth gear before you clear the intersection :)

[palebeachbum]

Sounds like your hate Thailand. Time to move back home. How'd you end up there anyway?

[yesthisisgod]

He should say "It's turbo time!" in one of his videos when he goes fast!

[ActionJeans5000]

You're a mushroom cloud layin' mutha' fucka, mutha' fucka'!

[ThePunchinPeacemaker]

taiwan looks like as beautiful place

[Fuice1]

ok so Racing bike got higher and better top speed, but the short gear got better acceleration

[13mordeth]

Better low speed acceleration. That's mostly correct.

[Bulgdoom]

@13mordeth

V-Twins are not faster cuz of short gearing, but because of the higher torque at lower rpm which makes em more responsive. Racing bikes have the inline 4-cylinder engines which create less torque, and the majority of which is at the high end RPMs where horsepower is maximized. Good for track when ur always at top rpm, bad for city.

[ImTheMightyOne]

Ducati run the V twin on their moto GP racing bikes dude.

[asiansinsation3]

that was really cool LOL

[whiteynator]

damn that ninja pulls away fast! NINJAH STYLE! *poff* gone.

[dasherdudester]

(M13) Can I ask what you think of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R 2009 ? I wanna get one and start Vlogging, but is it a good bike ?

Im new to biking and don't yet have my bike licence, but I will soon...

[statusquoman1]

he has the ninja 650 not the 250r

[civicmike01]

What are the police like there? You do seem to gun it quite alot so do they not care much or something?

[dasherdudester]

Watch "Taiwan Police At Night - SNC 4" and you will find out why, its a stupid rule for the police, I don't think anyone ever gets pulled over, because of the stupid rule

[civicmike01]

Ok nice one mate, ill give it a watch.

[TiNMasta]

That's Taiwan for ya :P

[MrGuvEuroman]

I totally get what yr saying My GSXR feels clumsy through towns lots of clutch riding. Then my 1975 suzuki TS250 Trail bike Slips through traffic top speed is bout 70 mph! Its handle bars are like a BMX and has a massive arm chair of a seat fits two very comfortably : D

[protoboy11]

well he will see it if they put their blinker on...even if they dont they probably will, this guys still alive after being in taiwan this long..i say hes pro

[RS2Matrix07]

oh shut up dick.

[TheMonolithicDonkey]

This guy is mad because he can't drive as well as mordeth can and gets pulled over by cops all the time when he tries to.

[Senegal01]

Reminds me of riding my bike in Saigon.

[makemehavefun]

you're being productive and even moreso with a family(baby). so, you don't have the time(or inclination?) to haphazardly "idle" or go around cruisin' (like and idiot? lol) anymore. Therefore, you're day-to-day life has become more structured/harmonious and the "world is revolving around you".

Now, when you see careless nonsense and general laziness, it is imposing it's incongruent/unharmonius self into your "picture", i.e., interrupting your 'productive' sensibilities; you get disturbed.

[makemehavefun]

dude, you're like me. you can't help but believe that people are supposed to improve... not get worse. but, that's the majority of people; they just get worse incrementally over time. it can be hard for someone who is perennially optimistic. just accept it and allow it.

by and large, people just suck. lol

[da1krayziethug]

I don't think most people would grasp what you just said, but I have known tis for so long.

Still, it is nice to hear someone else say it for a change.

[unall34]

did you saw the girl that walk ... there she look it at you thought your talking to her omg moments like this r just ........

[snuffah222]

*Your subconsciousness

Pardon, mixing two sentences into one :)

[snuffah222]

Nothing weird about being tense... You're subconscious is just finding a way to vent off... I'm sure that you prefer loosing your temper over dumbass not using signal lights that your wife or kid. It's a necessary evil. (it's not exactly evil... bot that's how you say it :P)

[calfan3]

stress man.....

[mujjuman]

feathering the clutch is bad though, right>?

[13mordeth]

Racers do it. I do it. It shortens the life of the clutch.....but who knows by how much. A clutch isn't too expensive.

[mujjuman]

maybe for a motorcycle but on a car it can get pretty costly

[gunnerkylling]

@mujjuman What do you mean by feathering?

[mujjuman]

@gunnerkylling when you use a feather to press in the clutch..... lol jk. feathering the clutch means you slip the clutch for a longer period of time while accelerating... it increases the torque applied on the wheels but it also drastically reduces the life of the clutch and bearings, etc. basically, dont do it, unless you can afford new clutches all the time. a BMW clutch costs $1200 and more....... so I rarely do it. I only do it when drag racing someone, but now i even when racing i dont

[saintlemus]

Its called STRESS .. u need to punch a punching bag or find some other way to get all that stress of ur body

[xinheng]

He mentioned in the first video that he had a couple Red Bulls.

I think it shows in this video. That, and the added stresses of having a child, some issues at work, etc.

I used to get the same way in traffic in Taiwan, even on my scooter. Part of it is coming from the States (or Canada in his case) and dealing with this crap. I was only back for a couple weeks last year and I -still- lost my temper on the second day in traffic.

Good luck and don't take yourself too seriously, M13.

[x5partan]

SNC series, is the best

[Kashio]

hey M13! would you put HIDs in your bike? (w/ projector maybe?)

[tommy525]

LIke Picasso, he has his blue period and his yellow period and whatever? Or was that picasso or someone else?

[Xfiles52]

I have that book 2 scooter vs sportbike

who's faster through town? good one i have a honda 954 also your vids are very

cool

[Appleguy2456]

Awesome vid. I love this series.

[MachiavelliNZ]

I totally know what you mean by riding in the power range, Mordeth. I'm totally in the power range pretty much the entire time on my Suzuki GN250.

Hah! Or maybe I should say I'm NEVER in the power range ;)

[xAmbient7]

Whether it be complaining or just plain chatting, You still bring up some good points. Listening to you talk and cruise eases my mind. Keep it up Mordeth!.

[trethoneil]

im sorry to say this but Mordeth, your videos are becoming more and more about complaining and bitching about stupid people etc. what ever happend to the Mordeth that used to eat McDonalds through his motorcycle helmet, or Mordeth dancing in the middle of an intersection. or just plain old riding in the mountains.. Im sorry but im starting to get annoyed by all the compaining.. and i dont want to unsubscribe.. just change the subject pleassseeee....

[eccsdrei]

i say let the guy talk and complain about whatever he wants...u can clearly see he's stressed.

i feel u mordeth cuz ive been in this kind of mood lately...

it's his way of taking his anger out in a non violent way...keep up the videos man.

[trethoneil]

Ya i can see what you mean,but still, sometimes its too much. we all have problems.i sure dont like to come on youtube to listen to problems. i want to be entertained. i know it sounds selfish, but i think we all come on youtube to be entertained and not listen to someone who used to be fun turn into a nagger. I like Mordeth alot but sometimes its too much. im sorry that's just the way i feel. and yes Mordeth keep em coming! if this is the way you wanna deal with your stress then we will listen

[Deacon003]

Were you refering to Bike's actical on the R6 vs the Triumph Street Triple R?

[haddii2324]

Hey was you trying to get away from scooters? I didnt think it was possible in taiwan to do that...

[Rudyr123]

that's awesome I would love to visit there one day! mordeth watching your videos makes me want a bike very badly..

[blademanx]

police in england r a joke one threatned to stick me up and send me to court. he pulled me over for undertaking yet he was changing lane like a lunatic without a signal forcing people out of the fast lane..muppet...they searched my car they didnt find shit...

pathetic cunts

[haddii2324]

You cant say all english police are shit from just oneexception... the polic in hull are good they scare off all the scumbag chavs away ;)

[Aurelius27x]

police are shit in general ... hypocrites the lot of them.

[haddii2324]

It's not just the police the laws are all wrong if a police officer could beat the crap out of a criminal the world would be a lot safer ;)

[johnniew3]

id love that my car had that response when i hit the gas

[urpiainen]

Nice series

[fredsaprilia]

Are your lights on your dash actually all blue? Looked like you had full beam on? and the indicator light looked blue to.

[Chick6517]

throwing chairs...what a bunch of blouses. They have to ruin it for everybody Turkish fans at Euro?

[blademanx]

ye in england average speed cameras mean you needto adapt now....people still speed obviously becaue there still testing the cameras,.but sooner or later someone gona get a fat ticket to their house.

thats why in england u need to stay legal when driving. cctv can catch you out too.

england are trying to be big brotheresque but its all to collect the fines

[Xaid0n]

I think it will come to a point soon where people will try and boycott those cameras, and just speed regardless, really takes the piss to be honest with you the way this gvnt is just cashing in on money.

[blademanx]

lol what speed are you doing in the beginning lol....

[oederdekoe]

I miss my saterdaynight cruise :'( my bike is wrecked

[etfforce]

LOL I paused @ 2:08, about signal light snapping... :) Don`t know if you read my posts, I was telling about overreacting... Glad you acknowdlege that :)))

****** even before I listen to the rest of clip... :)

[absolutsoju]

I never thought it would be fun to "play" with traffic on a motorbike. But then again, Im in the states and I think Id risk getting punted by some aggro driver. Is traffic always tame in Asia/Taiwan? Seems like people dont care/get offended much by bikers.

[absolutsoju]

"tame" as in non aggressive/road ragy. (I realize how chaotic traffic can get there)

[13mordeth]

Traffic is crazy here....but in a weird predictable sort of way. And in ten years of riding here. I've only once seen a car driver get annoyed with a motorbike.

[boyjoyzee]

Devil makes work for idle hands... that's the saying you were thinking of ^^

[13mordeth]

Actually I think it's "Idle hands are the devil's play thing".

[misterwipedown]

wish we could lane split in the states.

[LazzyPerson]

We can, only in states that it's legal to do so, such as here in California.

[LazzyPerson]

Lane splitting that is.

[biglandfarm]

thats why we love you so much m13!! hahaha

[Quentyn73]

Ha, looky lokky, Mordeth is growing up and finally giving up changing the world.

Welcome to the club!

I don't give a rat's ass about how fat which bike is.

It is the driving that brings joy and pleasure, not the 5 min earlier arrival.

To all you guys, ride safe, fast but not faster than your guardian angels :)

[yamr108gb]

yeah i'd go with that, i reckon you'd beat my 08 R1, until i got it past 7k or something, it doesn't really launch that well, where as your bike looks like it does, my bike's got massive power but in the city you just can't get near it.

[13mordeth]

Yeah, well you guys live in countries that have roads where you can use that power. Taiwan is only 300 miles long and 150 wide.

[yamr108gb]

but we also have a speed camera every 5 bloody minutes, and motorways that have average speed cameras on them, and police that ride unmarked fireblades and drive around in imprezas and evo's, it sucks.

[warezvz]

i have a cbr1000rr repsol edition with some mods and a turbo charger adn i know that a shortgeared bike can beat me the first 100m and than when i hit the 7000rpms il kick his ass. but until the 7000 he has the advantage. and playing with the clutch is not a option because if you do it evry day you burn the cluch in like 1500 to 2000km and thats a expansiv way of riding.

[Adammaniaminded]

I see that blue light on your dash and wonder if your riding with the high beam on? All of my vehicles have a blue light for high beam. I have a friend that always keeps her high beam on her bike at night. Its really annoying and blinding when shes riding behind me. We have rode over 10,000 miles together and when its dark, shes in front because I cant take it.

[13mordeth]

Hmm, looks like you are right. But it wasn't on purpose. I ride with my lows on at night. I gotta bunch of cool led lights on my bike, but they only come on when the low beam is on...since night time is the only time I use low beam. So it was an accident.

[13mordeth]

The camera blocks my view of the dash.

[Snowythebear]

i have shorter gears aswell.

[anthony6151]

I see you added music now... nice touch!

[jamiebridges123]

can't do this atm, theres too much salt on teh roads. :(

[tubegangsta]

"Let's get the fuck away from everyone"

FUCK THIS ASIAN TRAFFFFFIC

[dctim]

Holy shit dude, at about 3:50, you can just make out the ghostly reflection of your face in your visor. Almost scary, but quite cool

[thegaboski]

i got the same road rage and it just get worse..im a private investigator so i am stuck in my car and on the road all the time...and here in AL....people never use there turn signals

[markusr2001]

Mordeth13, you're just tired. That's why you're easily pissed off right now. Try to get some freaking sleep, my friend.

[PayneKiller23]

I had a 125cc 2 stroke and, now i have a 600cc 4 stroke and i agree whit m13 in the city a smaller short geared bike is faster, i have to say that a twin cylinder 250cc 2stroke will kick the ass off any bike in the city or on the track.

[13mordeth]

AMEN! I fucking love 250s smokers. I used to have one and I was faster than everything. Then I got a CBR600RR and I was slower than everyone for a long while until I got used to it handling like a cow.

[cbr900RR1977]

Lol I had my ass kicked by an former European-champion on a 250 on a track.... I ride a 900 (I know I should be ashamed)... He was like way older, but a total mental case though, throwing that thing into corners like a bicycle. On a bigger bike you already don't hold the sheer mass if you'd try that. It'll just chuck you...

[cbr900RR1977]

On the straight bits I caught him each time. But I guess, I wasn't going to do anything against 40(-ish) yrs of experience, and the finesse of a 250. A 900 is just too savage and too big for finesse (on a small track, like the scooter/kart track near you). And on a track that I could use my power on he probably would've caught up with me in the corners. But I'd be gone

I'm still not sure you're that much faster of the line.

On a track I do 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in about 2.0 seconds off the line.

[cbr900RR1977]

If i can hold the power down that is. (I know the bike is capable of it anyway)

[jinnnnnnnn]

Great video, but weird comparison. Even in a city a super sport bike/super bike is superior to a budget bike (acceleration, handling, brakes..). These bikes were made for top performance and even the newer 600cc ones got enough power down low and in the midrange.

BUT in a city they keep overheating and are not that much fun. That's why I agree that a budget bike would be more fun and more comfortable in this case, also because it feels faster than it is (single/twin).

[13mordeth]

You're wrong about the acceleration. My bike is faster than most super/hyper sportsbikes from 0-30mph. They are geared way too high to have much power in such a low range.

[Bikeman1087]

Gearing can easily be changed to shorter with changing sprockets. If you change front sprocket to smaller, it improves torque/power and acceleration through the whole power range including low range in all gears. Changing rear sprocket to bigger does same thing. Then engine takes more rpms in lower speeds.

But surely you know that mordeth13.

[cbr900RR1977]

Like first gear red line is about twice the legal street limit for the city you mean ;)

The power band starts where the limit ends sorta... Yeah I know that, that's why I have a 500cc cruiser on the side too. City-riding on a sports bike especially older models is a real pain (in your clutch hand). Or you have to ride it, like a (/most) grandpa(/'s) drive(s) his(/their) car (always stay below the power range that is). And sports bikes are not to happy about that either. They're high-rev-beings!

[jeenyus720]

5:09 I cant believe you can do that. In America if the car infront of the line doesnt beat the shit out of you a cop will

[alimurison]

what filtering?

thats l;egal, nothing wrong with that! lol

well, in the UK anyways, dunno bout US

[tubegangsta]

I don't see anything wrong with that. Everyone in Asia does that. They are actually allowed to, I've seen cops do the same thing everyday. If the motorbikes can take off faster than you and won't block you like American/Canadian slow ass drivers do, then why not? (I'm Canadian btw)

Geez, you americans need to open your eyes to the outside world, americans generally think they know everything but in a large scale view, they don't even know what the rest of the world is like. No offence.

[jeenyus720]

No man, you misunderstood. I ment that you're not allowed to do that in America (I know you can in other countries). Around here it's like cutting in line at the store or something. It's just disrespectful. Plus you cant pass on a double yellow.

[tubegangsta]

hmm well you're allowed to overtake people, so technically, you're allowed to "cut in line." About being disrepectful, who cares, on a motorbike, you'd be gone before the light turns green :)

[jeenyus720]

Yeah you cant overtake on a solid double here, only on a dotted.

[khazar2003]

What's the blue light un your board? do you ride with your high beam on?

[Karomar123]

WEE!

[Pow3rGaming]

1000cc sportbike has ridiculous power from the getgo without feathering the clutch - someone correct me if that isn't right but that's my understanding. that's the reason I opted for a 600. Was I wrong?

[preidstar]

Budget bike beats a race bike at city driving?

I cant understand how one could be faster than the other. Sure you may have better gearing but a race bike would shag that with power.

I think it would be down to the rider more than bike.

[katernis]

Friend of mine want to buy a ninja like yours. I'm gonna buy kawa zx-400. Well we will see how the things are. ;) Oh and m13 chill man, i understand what you feel sometimes, but remeber. U have family, so don't overdoit, when you are angry riding bike. ;)

[KBDB91]

damn that is some HIGH ass quality...

love this guy...want to see his face

[Jimmmyjames18]

Keep ur cool mordeth, it's totally natural bro, my mates got a kid and he gets all *Grrr* to.

:) keep ur cool bro.

[tonicroatia]

are u riding with tinted visor in the night?? hows that working

[Taff2493]

It's a clear visor, I have a tinted visor and you would not see S**t after dusk let alone night time

[13mordeth]

It has a very minor tint. I asked for clear and it was the closest they had.

[zedzded]

LOL, one of the top 10 signs you're stressed. Spittle on the helmet visor!

I have a very long fuse on my temper normally, but there were a couple years where I was working 50-80 hours a week and man did it shorten that fuse!

[Ataylor0]

LoL nice vid..Riding is the best way to get out and gather your thoughts

[sk84gs]

sooo pimp.

[splintersoldier]

What's feathering the clutch?

[su270]

like your jerking the throttle off slowly

[13mordeth]

Feathering the clutch is giving it gas when the clutch is only partially engaged. So.....you can red line the rpms first.....and then let the clutch out. That way you've got your bike at full power right off the line.

[alimurison]

ye, i sometimes do that on my RS125, but doesn't it damage it if u slip the clutch too much?

[cbr900RR1977]

It does but I wouldn't call it damage though. I'd call it wear. It's not doing anything it's not supposed to be doing, you're just making it work hard. Too much yeah... too is never good. Shouldn't be slipping it all the time then you will burn it eventually.

[sexyitalian891]

Hi mordeth. I remember you had said in another of yur vids you had ADD or something? Another common thing with ADD and ADHD is bipolar disorder. You can look it up if you want might answer some questions about your anger. Anyways nice video take care mordeth.

[cbr900RR1977]

True, same here.

But in a Cage I'm even worst (at times). On my bike I'm usually a bit humbler because you're way more vulnerable. But I do get really worked up about things.. And occasionally give someone the finger and flash my lights.. But for me it is idd related to ADHD now over time become ADD... I'm either driving/riding and nothing can bother me at all, up till the point something does and I explode.. You can to some extend filter/channel your reaction but not your blood boiling, right.

[DarkNinja75]

I was gonna say feather the clutch so you can get the revs up and be in the power band...but you said it.

[viet411]

LOL i like how you said in the beginning "lets just get the fuck away from everybody" haha i feel the same way sometimes when i drive at night

[scandalousjen]

lack  of sleep.

[scandalousjen]

makes you cranky as heck.

[metalmaster7667]

therapy on two wheels.glad to see atlas rider at m13online.

[webliwonder]

"drivers and drunks and shit"

Like the intro :)

[criskity]

WTF is "FTW"?

[scandalousjen]

FTW= For the Win

[AtlasRider]

For the Win

[boozled86]

For The Win

[0hmyy0utubeusername]

wtf mordeth at 4:58 I think you missed a possibly aggressive rider who flew by on the right

[Millertime89]

hehehe

[0hmyy0utubeusername]

yeah it definitely has to do with the fact that if something happens to you, you have a wife and kid that may suffer while you're hurt, or worse.

[ybizzle52388]

I sound the same way when I drive!!! Aggressive drivers unite!!!

[derekoeur]

i wish i had a bike....

[MuddaEshole]

Ya wa wooo!

First to view and comment, thanks for making a night series. But just saying, its not as fun as the usual daytime vids.

Thanks for your vids Mordeth.
