 All right, all right. All right, I'm in a very good mood right now. I just got an email saying that the motorcycle Will be ready by 4 p.m. Today today taking it home Hmm. Oh, he's excited for the morning. Oh, he's excited that it's Friday Friday morning. That's how I'm feeling in my mind right now too in my mind. I'm running around like that But my body is like ho ho Let's get some coffee in us first Like a very nice fire pitch man But you can't catch me. I bet you're right diesel. We're not all morning people like you Okay, that's enough running for one day Oh, here they go You guys You guys It's too early for this stuff Hey, I think they're arguing about who's more excited that it's Friday. All right guys come Come on in. We're done. Come on Today is supposed to be the day I'm excited. I shaved my head and everything for it cut my hair Other than it being Friday, that's good already in itself. It's already gonna be a good day. The sun is shining Today's supposed to be the day when the shop that's doing the safety certification on the motorcycle I want to buy it's it's supposed to be done today. The tire is supposed to arrive today and be installed today Let's see if they pull through. Okay. I'll believe it when I see it at this point I'm not gonna get too excited, but today is supposed to be the day So we'll see what happens Kind of interesting that it took them 10 days to get a tire from like the next province over I mean, I'm a truck driver. I know it only takes two days to get there Today is they said that today is supposed to be the day let's see if they pull through with a little bit of luck I will be pulling it home on the trailer today after work. I Hope so because it'd be really cool to have it for the weekend. But if not, well, it's out of our hands, right? I don't know what's going on. Maybe there was a mix-up in the delivery that happens I know it doesn't take 10 days to get here from Ontario. Like we're like I bought it from a co-worker, right? So we work in trucking We know when there's you know, like we know when they're talking we know how long things take to get places But maybe it's out of their hands, too. I don't know. Maybe the tire had to come straight from Japan I mean the bike is a mo it's a Yamaha, right? So Get the tire from Japan. What are we all a lot of tires? I Wouldn't be surprised we're all out everything else. It seems there's a shortage of everything Anyway enough about that We're going trucking today. I have no idea what they have planned for us I was supposed to go up to Arbor and See my friends up there. I like the shippers up there. They're fun guys to talk to and hang out with and Go in there today. The highway driver wants to go pick it up himself. I'm gonna go and do something else then We'll find out when we get there today As long as at least one person is moving faster than me on the highway I'm happy I don't really I don't speed anyways because my driver's license is kind of like the most important thing I possess When it comes to work and you know paying bills and stuff. So I'm not a speeder But I actually drive kind of slower, right? I Know people like to go faster, especially in the morning. I know because they're always riding my rear end Want to go faster? That doesn't bother whatever it does bother me But I'm not gonna go faster if I'm gonna go slower when you're when you tailgate me, but No, I set my cruise and I just You know meander my way down the road Eventually they make their pass and just go speeding off. Sometimes I get a one-finger salute. Those are the special days and I just ignore them and I smile because If anyone's gonna get a ticket, they're gonna get a ticket See, there's always somebody going just a little bit faster than me. Just a little bit. I like it that way. I Have matured a lot since I was a kid. I've learned so many lessons for some reason in the mornings That's when I reflect the most. I feel like I'm most clear-minded while I'm sitting eating my breakfast at home alone It's quiet. I sit there and reflect on my life Bad decisions I've made in the past how I can make better decisions in the future How I've treated people badly in the past and how I want to make this day different That I want to treat people better every day And learn from mistakes I've made in the past for some reason in the morning That's when I have the most clarity. I get to work. I get the blood pumping and all of a sudden I'm just one track mind go go go go go and in the evenings Especially Friday evening. I'm not thinking about anything that deep No way. It's the weekend thinking about mowing the lawn So what point in the day do you have your most clarity when you have the most clear mind when you can Truly self reflect on yourself. It's hard to criticize yourself sometimes What part of the day is it when you can look back at the day before or maybe even years before for today I was looking back at when I was in high school And uh, you know, there's times when I was kind of a mean guy I'm a mean guy to friends I had then and you know, maybe The fact that I see them on facebook now sort of triggers it. I'm like, you know what? I remember that one time I said that to them that was really mean I wish I wouldn't have said that I wish I could go back and take that back And then I sit there and I self reflect well from this day forward. Let's make sure That in the future I never have to look back at today And regret anything I did or said today So when I'm I'm 33 now. So like when I'm 60, let's say and I'm looking back at today on this vlog today Or and I remember something that I did or that I said, I don't want to have any regrets I don't want to be like man. I wish I wouldn't have said that That was kind of mean I want to be a positive thing in people's lives I want people to remember me and have good memories of me because people won't remember what you say to them really They won't remember but they'll remember how you make them feel So it's it's not so much about what you say. It's about how you make others feel and I want to make others feel good you know These are the things that go through my head in the mornings and I have to Seize them and take it like take them to heart right when they're in my head because like I said Once I get to work get the blood pumping get the gears turning For some reason those those kind of things are just I got things to do. That's all I'm focusing on. I'm a man. I only only focus on one thing at a time I don't know. How about you guys? How about you guys? What are you guys? What point of the day is that for you? Is it in the evenings the mornings at lunch? Am I the only one? Every morning every morning Somebody's getting a spanking. We were just talking about this. You see This is why I make sure I'm not driving the fastest on the highway Slower down to 60 Let's see who it is. Let's see who it is Getting a spanking on the way to work That's exactly what I mean I'm gonna make sure that's never me People might recognize me around here and I end up on the facebook or on youtube Look Trucker Josh got a spanking. That wouldn't be good. I'm in the mood right now I just got an email saying that the motorcycle will be ready by 4 p.m. Today today taking it home today So before we can go and get too excited about that let's get excited about this I got some stuff on my trailer here Faking these boxes all the way to the other side of the city. I'm on the southwest corner of Winnipeg right now We're bringing it all the way to the east side of Winnipeg so Long journey ahead. Good thing I packed a lunch Should take us 15 minutes to get there 15 whole minutes So it shall indeed be a good day. It will I broke another one of these uh These mounts right here. Let me get my Lookers off so I can see it On the bottom here Do you guys any of you who make videos or deal with go-pros all the time? Do you guys have the problem too with these things here? Always breaking off like one side or the other or both I have to order more of these now because this is my last one and I like the ones that have this little swoop in there because then I can Look at that right and it could be a chest mount Which is probably what I'll be using on the motorcycle because I don't want to put uh I don't want to put a mount on my beanie helmet. I think that'll look kind of funny We'll see see I gotta figure out how I'm gonna mount the camera on that But I was thinking maybe just a a chest camera would work But don't worry about that later. Let's let's get finished with this first Feeling good looking good. What's the saying? Looking good feeling better Or feeling good looking better drop this off I've got to do some maneuvering around there. They need some freight and move around as a big compound So I got to take some crates like this from one end of the compound drop at the other end of the compound And then I pick up another full load and you gotta bring that to il de shane which is right close to work So that was fun But we're not gonna focus too much on trucking today Because we have other things grabbing our attention There she is I'm gonna load her up on the trailer right away take her home. I already took her for a spin She's beautiful. I'm so excited Can't go fast enough. Oh, I'm like a little kid. I know I gotta grow up I was just talking about how mature I am this morning And what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna ride it right up to the center here tie it down And rush home and then I can get everything done at home. I'm gonna go for a ride there Crash the bottom of the bike on hold it on purpose So we're gonna tie her down so she's straight not leaning on the foot peg But it was pretty close, eh? I didn't want the bottom of the frame to scratch on the trailer and get hung up It's my first time loading it up. So I think it looks pretty good though polish it up with some bullsnot once we get home Probably tomorrow I'm gonna take it for a ride tonight. No time for polishing I'm going riding So it's got Vance and Heinz exhaust That is aftermarket. It's not the custom exhaust as you can hear. It sounds a lot better It's very comfortable It's gonna be a nice cruiser There she is All tight Ready to go home One of the perks of hauling stuff for a living You got a pretty good idea how to tie it down. So it's not gonna go anywhere That would be a nightmare. I waited this whole time And if it fell over or fell off the trailer or something Oh people are messaging me. It's just telling people that I got it It'd be a nightmare if something happened to it on the way home That's why we make double sure Off we go The reason I'm trailering it at home. It's because like I was telling you before in past vlogs I bought it off a co-worker And uh, I could ride it home now if I wanted to. I have my helmet and gear and everything However, uh, I don't want to Uh, leave my pickup here then have to get a ride back here to get my pickup I'll take them both home at once That's what the trailer's for So I rode into Le Broquerie, which is the town just east of Steinback Just behind their uh, their hotel bar here Figured I'd do a little walk around with you here It rides really nice Uh, the one thing I noticed is it feels like it could use another gear On the highway, uh Once I get up to highway speeds It feels like it's a five speed. It feels like A six speed transmission would be Better because it still has a lot of power and torque at that speed But you're sort of at the higher end of the fifth gear So it'll keep me out of trouble speed wise. I'm not going to be speeding down the highway in this thing too much And it's loud too But I've been noticing some noticing some discoloring on this one here And I have to clean that off Regularly, I'm sure But it's definitely not stock exhaust. You hear this thing? I probably shouldn't rev it up too much here. We're at the hotel Why don't we go to a place where it's more appropriate to make some noise and I'll show you this thing how loud it is Pretty impressed it sounds a lot bigger than it is I've got to figure out some kind of uh mounts on here though, you know I got nothing on here yet I got this here a lot more storage on this bike. I got this here plus the two crusaddle bags on the back here Makes it very easy to take stuff with me. I'd like the sport bike was just had a tiny little compartment underneath the rear seat And for those of you wondering or just tuning in it is a Yamaha V-Star It's a 650 and I think it's going to be the perfect bike for me. It's only got it's in miles an hour So it's got 8,979 miles on it right now Maybe close to 100. No, I bought it with 8,912 So I've put just over I don't know just about 80 kilometers on there 70 kilometers No, that's miles. I just told you it's miles an hour That's gonna mess with me because this bike must have been sold in America first Because the kilometers an hour are on the inside and the miles an hour on the outside and the odometer is in miles An hour. That's what was going to mess with me. So I've driven it about 80 Or 70 miles, which yeah, it would be just over 100 kilometers. So I was right I don't have to get used to that I gotta get some mounts on here that chest mount would be right about here. I don't know what kind of view that would give I don't want to put any mounts on my helmet I want to keep my helmet looking nice and uh clean. I don't want any sticky mounts on there So I'll have to figure something out. I want to get a A handlebar holder for my phone so I can have my phone here and use it as the GPS And see if someone's trying to get a hold of me. There's an emergency or something. Someone keeps calling me I know to pull over and Let someone's trying to reach me I'll probably get newer custom mirrors yet, but Let's go to a Place where we're not right beside a hotel probably wouldn't be a good idea to make a bunch of noise right outside a hotel Just thought of that All right, we're by ourselves here now This driveway goes to some private property. We'll stay off of there But yeah So this is uh the ignition up here kill switch and hopefully the camera on audio doesn't justice So the sound was important to me when looking for a bike Might not be important to everybody, but I want a bike that sounds good I want my pickup to get uh, I want to get the exhaust on my pickup as well Like it's I don't want it to be obnoxiously loud. It's still pretty light compared to bright days But today these are awkward video yet just about this bike once I get it all pulled
