BWOM-The VFR Recovery..Part One

[moose3971]

Dude: Man I almost spit coffee all over my laptop, when you two were talking about the oil filter socket, and the double wrapping of the socket, funny, funny stuff.

[SVlogger]

Which camera are you using here and how is that Flip working for you? I assume that is what you use for Vlogging

[billmaa]

it's a Canon HV40, I had a Flip for about 3 hours and I took it back because I didn't think the lens was wide enough for vlogging..I did buy a creative Vado, but only got one vlog done with it before I hurt my knee.

[SVlogger]

ok cool.. I'm looking for a camera and just want to check out some in action.

[MrPanthertennis]

btw jarritos is really good soda. my favorite is lime and pineapple. its made in mexico with real sugar.

[billmaa]

Real sugar is the way to go, I pretty sure I can get jarritos here, might have to try it out..

[dirtdobberoffroad]

Gotta have Moxie now I know where it comes from....

[billmaa]

Haha, it all comes together =)

[BillyJoeSchmuckMuckr]

Heck yeah, Hondas are WAY better!

[billmaa]

Haha, you know this!

[8cuttlefish8]

Just added this to my BIG THINGS (international) playlist because of that awesome giant coke bottle haha. :D.

[billmaa]

You just wait till next year..I'll find some stuff to go into that playlist =)

[bfmv580]

I dont usualy say this but nice car ;-)

And a honda that breaks down? Whats happend...

[billmaa]

Haha, thats a long long story about the honda =) too much for a 500 word comment box..Lol, The vette was mine a few years ago and I sold to my best friend.

[robshog]

Billy, good to see you and tracey in another vid. look forward to seeing the rest of the journey. Nice job on using garage mechanics skills on the oil change..lol.. glad to see you practiced safe wrenching..your friend in the east

Rob

[billmaa]

Thanks man, one of my favs..

[maikeli7]

Another great installment! Funny, informative (didn't know about that condom method!), and thoroughly entertaining!

[billmaa]

Thanks Mike,

We freestyled the condom method on the spot, haha, next time I'll bring a honda socket..

[truered10]

[billmaa]

[billmaa]

Just a lil bit Cip...it was more me dissin' my buddy Trace..

[Trinith]

Man it's a shame you told SHC you were coming. Might have actually surprised a few people that way. :-P

As for the oil filter...well...I usually just grab and twist.

[billmaa]

Yeah, haha probably so..I told him the day I got my plane tickets to OKC

[clownhi38]

You came within 10 miles of me ugh lol!

[billmaa]

haha, Where are you at in the world?

[919colorado23]

That soda place is INSANE, I would drink soda till I puked if I went there.... I can't belive this vid is 8 minutes long it only seemed like 1, keep up the awesome work dude!!!

[billmaa]

I'm a huge soda fan as well..I thought about buying a couple of cases...Thanks for the kind words,

Billy

[kwandail]

honda FTW

[billmaa]

Indeed

[pulse0000]

Oh,Great video by the way.

[billmaa]

Thank you..

[pulse0000]

Moxie,The official soft drink of Maine.

Being from Maine I had to try it once,I thought it tasted like moose piss!

[billmaa]

Haha, Moose piss...lol.

[rebelyell91]

Once again, Very awesome editing! You should be a professional! :D

Great Series!

[billmaa]

Thanks Rebel,

I have alot of fun playing with my software...most days I just get lucky and try something and think "hmmm, I guess that works" =)

Take care,

Billy

[danmoto73]

brilliant stuff billmaa, great editing, felt like i was watching a discovery channel programme :D can't talk for long, need to watch episode 2 straight away :)

[billmaa]

Thanks Dan, I watch discovery and the history channel all the time...I had alot of fun with this footage..

Take care,

Billy

[claytonman20079]

what is the title of that song in beginning of the video?

[billmaa]

it was some royalty free stuff I had with one of my editing programs...it's kinda rocking tho..

[808yewtube]

Billmaa! Man, that was an incredible array of soda bottles! I thought it was beer at first! I was sad to see ya so under the weather, hope u have kicked that Swine/Suzuki flu thing by now. (just kidding guys...) You folks are funny as hell... Can't wait for the next installment of the series... :D

808

[billmaa]

I didn't capture all of them, there were at least a bazillion! That lil rough cough I had developed into full on pneumonia, Go big or go home I say...I'm about 80% right now..so the pig feet flu didn't take me down this time..

[mfc392]

good editing

[billmaa]

Thank you..

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

We just ask, " What kind of Coke do you want?" I know, it's southern thing I guess.

[billmaa]

Yes it is...I remember when I was a kid my mom would say that and as a smart aleck I would correct her, these days I just go with the flow..

[Itsreload]

I used to call all soda coke. Then I was mixed in with people from all over the country when I joined the military. I need to add moxie to my vocab. LOL Seek HELMET. Is that what that really means?

[billmaa]

it's actually some Egyptian goddess of power, daughter of Ra..but looking at it, it looks like Seek Helmet to me..so i razz her a bit..

[BusasaurusRex]

Good job on Part 1 my friend. And secretly, I gave you the condoms for the oil filter wrench because I didn't want Honda cooties on my Suzuki tools. =)

[billmaa]

Haha, I don't know what's more funny, your comment, or the fact that you have four thumbs up on it right now...you must have some Suzuki brethren hiding on my vid page =)

[BusasaurusRex]

We are everywhere!  You can't hide from us!

[billmaa]

Haha, well of course ."The World of Coke" is one of those pop culture things I've gotta hit before I die...I've heard of people getting shot for trying to smuggle Pepsi over the state line...(well not really, but it would make me laugh if they did...I hate Pepsi =)

[sekhmet1098]

Oh god I love those beers. I shoulda had one when I was there. Oh well... maybe when I'm home on R&R if I make it up that way. :)

That last part had me rolling.. double or triple-wrap that bitch!! You guys are so ghetto-fabulous with that shit it's freaking hilarious.

And now, thanks to you, not a single person will ever say my screen name right.. LOL I'm cursed with "seek helmet" for the rest of my days. Thanks. :P

[billmaa]

We call it mechanical improvisation, sometimes McGuyvering, but I think ghetto-fabulous sounds way cooler...

And you're very welcome Seek =D

[motochron]

eww suzuki cooties. Great vid Billy, looking forward to the rest of the series!

[billmaa]

Thanks Chris, I had alot of fun with this one..

[lintna]

i have to have one of those "mexico style" beers.

also love the tracys c4 (its a c4 right? may the lord forgive me if im wrong)

awesome start of the series, sweet editing. keep up the good work.

oh, and yuengling ftw :)

[billmaa]

They are awesome! And you're right on the nose with that being a C4.. and lets have a moment of silence for the fact that I can't get yuengling here in Nebraska

[lintna]

i feel your pain, no yuengling in europe neither. so to pick our conversation from your last video up, when i come by and bring beer ill make shure that ill grab some yuengling in maryland. :D

take care

[tat2time]

great vid..........

[billmaa]

Thanks man...I appreciate the short comments too..=)

[DashTube1]

Great vlog, really enjoyed this. Wow that shop had so many drinks to choose from. Could you describe the test of the drink you had? lol

Can;t wait till next one :D

[billmaa]

Thanks Ben,

I would say it was cherry cola, but it wasn't as sweet as it should be, but it also tasted a a bit like raisins...not grapes, but raisins hahah

[KTMsmurf]

Suzuki germs... aaaaaaah!! Glad you double wrapped! Hehe

That soda place is a must visit if I ever go there (adding to list of funny places to visit)

Great start on the series! :D

[billmaa]

Thanks Smurf,

That was a totally random stop, but it made for a interesting piece..

[Undertaker3879]

lol sure don't want those Susuki germs on that nice Hinda ;D. Awesome video looking forward to the next part.

[billmaa]

Haha, I love all bikes...I meant that as a jab at my best bud, but then realized that Ash and DJCip haven't seen this yet...waiting for their comments =)

[savethefreak]

On the luggage conveyor belt... was there a car seat?? lol

Good vid mate, your an awesome editor =)

[billmaa]

Yes indeed, it was a car seat, it's a pretty common thing here in the states

Thanks for comment,

Billy

[Alflington]

Awesome vid - shot and edited brilliantly. Can't wait for the next part.!

[billmaa]

Thank you, I think editing is my favorite part of the process

Billy

[steelhorseclub]

Great video, I think it might be your best series yet. And not because i'm in it :p The randomness and improvisational aspects of it give it a really cool feel.

[billmaa]

Thanks Steel,

The funny thing is as I was editing, I keep looking and couldn't really tell why it was different...and then I realized that I was influenced heavily by my fellow motovloggers as well as filming this with Youtube in my head when I had the cameras in my hand. It's an interesting shift, and I think it's alot of fun..

[bmastamoneycash]

sick man!...yeah i went to florida and they asked if i wanted pop and i thought they were talkin' about cereal lol...who knows man!...sick vid tho, very cool with the plane n everything...wtf does Tracey do if he can afford a busa AND a vette??

[billmaa]

Hahah, "Corn Pops"...Tracy is currently unemployed at the moment..He quit his job recently, long story and his to tell, I do love to tease him about it.

[bmastamoneycash]

dang i wish i was unemployed and still playin' with those toys! lol cool vid man even tho i'm a suzuki rider at the moment (: :)

[lintna]

nobody is perfect bro .)

*duckandrun*

[billmaa]

Oh, I totally read this wrong..my bad, I thought you asked for a "pop" yeah, now it makes sense you and Olsonr from NJ are on the same lingo...lol..

[bmastamoneycash]

np man..i'll blame the cough medicine...if ur taking any lol

[olsonr]

All I know is that I'm in Jersey, and I call it soda.

[billmaa]

Thank you, I was pretty sure soda was a northern thing...but then Bmastamoneycash from NY says that he says "Pop" hmmm, I guess I'm going to have to do some research about this quandary

[bmastamoneycash]

lol no way man i call it soda!

[victor1974yes]

Great series, It´s amazing how you became attached to your vfr, considering the "5 Digits!!" comotion i thought you would have a newer touring bike by now, have you seen the new vfr1200?

[billmaa]

Haha, thats a man who has watched my old stuff, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that...me and the old girl have had our ups and downs and kinda like a marriage we got our differences sorted out over the years...and Yes, I have seen the Viffer Twelve and if they bring it to the states, I will buy one, but I prolly will still keep my current one for less serious duty

[lilloo31]

Lol... Double wrap it!!!!

[billmaa]

haha, it ended up being about a quadruple wrap lol...

[lilloo31]

Hahahaha, nice!

[8cuttlefish8]

Woha! The giant coke bottle is huge! That's awesome man, it's definitely taller than the big pineapple. And thanks heaps for the shout dude. U guys call them sodas or pop's and in Aus, we call it soft drink.

[billmaa]

You're welcome dude, apparently at night the coke bottle is filled with neon lights and to quote you 'Its quite a sight indeed'' =) soft drinks? weird...they are only called soft drinks here in commercials

[808yewtube]

That squashed gum really did look like Australia...

[matth1138]

aw man...Johnny Cash T-Shirt FTMFW! Waiting patiently for MORE...

[billmaa]

Haha, My dad looked just like Johnny Cash, I have a real personal admiration for the man in black...

Take care Matt,

Billy

[cronus1987]

from what i've seen and heard...most people up NORTH call them pop..down south it's called a coke regardless of what brand of beverage it really is. Like calling a copy machine a xerox machine.

[billmaa]

Haha, true, Way down south, the coke thing for sure... or like calling all tissues a Kleenex....I've always called them sodas, I'm not sure if it's regionally proper for not..lol..

[steelhorseclub]

lol, your right about the Kleenex, I never noticed that.

[thegaboski]

honda has their own parts, because they dont want to be copied.

[billmaa]

Oh yeah dude, I've actually got two of the "Honda" sockets at my casa...just didn't think to bring them with..

[dimebag579]

awesome video man, i love the BWOM videos, verry well put together and a beutifull bike my friend, deffo worth the trip out the to collect

[billmaa]

Thank you, I've missed the old girl..

[StraightArrow1000]

was that the VFR? how much oil does it take?

[billmaa]

That was it, it takes just about 4 quarts to top her off...

[robm425]

Moxie is one of the worst tasting soda's. I had a roommate in college who would bring Moxie cause he knew i would never touch the stuff

[billmaa]

Hahah, it's something else...

[Flyguy7722]

i was wondering when this series was going to start. well worth the wait so far. :D

[billmaa]

Thanks man, I've been under the weather and got alot least a bit edited this afternoon

[Bloodkraze]

You're a bad passenger, you're not supposed to turn on your cameras until they tell you so!

[billmaa]

Hahah, I'm also a career aviator and realize there is no way in hades my lil camera will effect the glideslope or navigation data of a modern day aircraft...=)

[Bloodkraze]

Yeah, until you find out everyone on that plane is an Aviator and they all think like you do, and then BAM, everyone has their cameras on and all those fancy words you used goes wrong and the plane explodes.

[steelhorseclub]

Ha, didn't mythbusters prove that electronics do not affect modern aircraft?

[billmaa]

it's a risk I'm willing to take for Youtube

[808yewtube]

the stuff we do for Youtube.... drink,  no-i mean, vlog responsibly everyone, ha ha

[MobileReign]

You can keep your toenails. Lucky you.

[billmaa]

Lol, good to know..
