I have a theory on why Harley riders can not wave. The reason in my opinion is they are riding with a massive butt plug inserted. if their hand leaves the handlebars they will lose control. Why else would they ride a bike that vibrates that much.
PS i would advise not to ask your local motorcycle gang member what brand of butt plug they use. might get messy!
You rock! ride safe

I definitely enjoyed the video. You've touched on all the major components and techniques of riding a scooter! Now you need to do one on critical accessories -- sandwiches, handguns, beer, etc....

Bro your videos are pure gold. I can watch them over and over again. Cheers and warm greetings from Bulgaria!

I'm just about to skip then I saw that stainless fish bowl😂helmet😅.
There are tons of YouTube about scooters but ur vids really makes a different approach and makes me laugh❤from Philippines 😅😅

[allycanuck]

That was fun! I needed a good giggle today, thank you! 🙃

[victorhawkins]

Oddly enough, Harley folks here in the Coachella Valley always waved back when I was on my Vespa. That single finger return wave is good, right?

[deberryfh]

Truly appreciate your expert content. I want more. But you did not warn about the nut that holds the handlebar. ha ha

[someguy]

The taking a call with phone out while having a headset mounted got me good

[paulbyrumii]

Dang bug, I was not expecting this gem of a video, I was looking forward to tips on riding a scooter. One of them got me laughing ha ha Pizmo, Paul.

[ricksanchez]

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks your videos are hilarious. lol Be well, Happy Thanksgiving.

Brilliant 😅 lovin the humour. All sound advice, how could we not trust you to guide us on our scooter ventures. 🤔 dont forget about putting your least favourite pet in the pet carrier, problem solved 😉...Harry

Good tips! But you forgot to mention one important thing that you did: Hide your turn signals with high beams.

[leishan]

may I know the brand& type of the black top case shown in shell gas station? thanks bro.

[freenbeck]

I'm still struggling on balancing myself 😩

[tagoooU]

The gas spillage thing is really a pain. I always block up the pet carrier with the gas cap, so at least the spill doesn't go into the bin. Spills at least 50% of the time.

This was funny. I want a scooter to scoot-scoot to the store in my country area. I know all the motorcycles will probably dis me, but it is fine. I want to paint mine bright pink. IDK, I am woman who loves pink and thinks a motorcycle might be too much for me and I want it pink. Did I mention my favorite color? 💕🌸💖

[toryspelling]

lmfao this is hilarious and a perfect length tutorial

[lforbes]

What mirror clamp are you using for the camera?

[sixlegged]

Wait till you've ridden a PX 2T with the engine on one side😂

[dallasdandigitalproduction]

"Harley riders usually dont wave back bc theyre tightening loose bolts as they go"- lol
