Hey man, nice bike, I live and ride in virginia, definitely a helmet state, n.c. Is a helmet state, but I know south Carolina you can go without if your over 21 but I think you have to carry a helmet with you... Last time I was there everyone who wasn't wearing still carried them but I'm not sure
in answer to your question I know Pennsylvania is one state over here that you don't have to wear a helmet, as long as you are at least 21 years of age.
there is alot of them that say u dont have to wear a helmet in virginia where i was born and raised u had to wear a helmet no matter what but i live in illinois now and they have no helmet laws nice vid by the way
Nice intro, we need more mankini action hahahaha!!!!!!
Darren, the bike sounds gorgeous. I loved that low grunt and roar of the exhaust. I could've happily listened to that through the whole video instead of the music.That's a 1600 cc? Cheers mate.
Haha I forgot you guys ride on the other side of the road. I saw that truck coming and was oh no oh yeah thats right LOL!! Yeah I got a Harley - Honda Shawdow Ace Knock off, my wife has the Harley!
In some states you have to wear a helmet until your 17. Some go up to 20. Other states say everyone has to wear a helmet and some have no helmet laws.
i only recognised when you got to the bp ,and down the front of coolum ,i live there for 30 years you think i would of known it like the back of my hand lol ,first bay was were we spread my dads ashes <3 that bay
How long does it normally take to get use to riding or driving on the other side of the road? That was kinda hard to watch even. I Like the bike. Wish I had my 650 back.
I may not have a motorcycle but I know so many with them I got my own helmet. In New York it is the law you must wear one. I have a friend and where they live there is no law her husband was out riding and not wearing his even tho he does have one got into hit he only had broken wrist he now where's his all the time. Great vlog. I miss the wonderful sound and feel when you are on a bike.
thanx for bringing us along! what a beautiful place you have to ride that awesome bike across! easy cruising! you could never do that comfortably here. too many ups and downs, horrible streets and not much to stare at unless you go offroad with a cross or something.
Originally I was only going to use raw footage, but the wind noise was so overpowering, it got just plain annoying, which is why I had to add the music...
I know what you mean about helmets, it's also bad when those "novelty" helmets are worn that are illegal and don't protect you if you are in an accident. My husband has owned bikes and we always wore leather boots while riding his motorcycles, it makes me nervous when I see riders wearing tennis shoes and short sleeves. In our state it's illegal not to wear the required and authorized headgear plus eye protection (unless you have a windscreen)
I watched all that in full screen! And yes! and scenery was great to sit back and enjoy! Thankyou for taking us for a ride. I hope the bike didn't lose any power with all of us out the front, lol.
It would of been great to hear that rawr of the bike! When ya took off at the end of you're street and the music played, I was a touch disappointed, lol I wanted to hear that RAWR!!! ahaha. Anyways, cheers for sharing mate.
Nice new intro Darren, in answer to the question, only 4 are 100% helmet law free, those being New Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa and Colorado. Thanks for the ride Bro, very refreshing hhahahahha H&R
next time you ride toward the gold coast let me know we can meet and ride together
