@DODvClips Is there a HD version on other than youtube?

[DODvClips]

@pilot7180 Yes, on the dodvclips website you can download it there, search for Semper Ride. It is a dot mil domain. Thanks for watching!

I ride street on a daily basis, track for fun, and dirt.

Some good advice, but a lot of examples of really extreme riding kind of sends a mixed message to new riders if you ask me.

I hope the video is coupled with a whole lot of pro instruction if this is part of a larger effort. The vid alone is pretty sensationalistic.

look only 3k viewers at this video. then you got at least 100k viewers on a r1 video. no wonder why u got squids crashing left and right.

wow thats so overdramtic Oo... "when i ride at streets i just wanna go home safe to my family i hope i survive"... "no where safe to crash on streets", i dont understand why all this desert and dert is used, i have only ride street, and no problem here. imo, it scares new riders more than helps, not all have a desert in there country or a envoriment for dirt.

@DODvClips Thank you!! I saw the site as well, you guys break it down very well. Easily understandable to anyone. I have a 250R right now, and can't wait to upgrade. Thanks for making this film.

The assertions about losing the taste for riding fast on the street for recreation after getting experience on the track absolutely have been true for me. People ask me how I like riding my R6 on the street, and my response is "it's fun for about two days, and then I hate it." Late model sport bikes have harsh suspensions that turn potholes into jumps that rack your balls, you can't have fun at any legal speed, and they can't do U-turns, which makes you look like an asshole in urban areas.

great stuff guys - don't agree with all the ideas but there is definitely some good ideas in there.
