Follow me as I learn to ride a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400. I'm a brand new rider and the ultimate goal is to become a track rider who rides safely through the gnarly traffic and streets of Maryland in the DC Metro area. I passed the MSF and received my Motorcycle license endorsement in May of 2025.
My ultimate dream is to one day ride a motorcycle in Japan at night through the scenic streets of Tokyo. I've been twice and have many more visits planned.
I also have a huge passion for Pokemon Cards but I'm making this a Motorcycle-first channel. Any card videos will not be pushed to subscribers and will be contained in a separate playlist with separate tags. Feel free to check it out once those start getting posted. I'm a pretty big collector.

Good evening to everyone,
I wanted to say I’ve been seeing your messages and emails and that I’m super grateful people care.
I did unfortunately go through a medical situation last year that caused me to completely disappear for a while. I won’t get into it but if people saw my video where I talked about my stuff, it was kind of the same thing again, albeit not as crazy scary this time around (still scary and sucked).
Good news though is that I’m starting to do better again and have felt pretty good for several weeks now. As it’s winter time, I’ve sort of resigned myself to waiting until it warms up to resume anything. And I’ve got a lot of normal life stuff to catch up on.
As fate would have it, right as I started feeling good health-wise, I had less than a month to enjoy it before I broke my shoulder lol
Luckily it’s not that serious, and it should be all healed up before it warms up. I will be posting rides again, but it will be a while. My next video will probably come out of nowhere when it’s a bit warmer out, and I’ll explain a bit more what happened.
In the meantime, hope y’all are all being safe and had a good holiday and are having a good start to the new year.
Love everyone,
Scott

New video is up! More speed!
It's a bit of a simple video, but it went a longggg way towards giving me confidence towards my first big ride (next video). I'm itching to release the next one but, for now, enjoy the one that gave me the confidence to do that one lol

I have 3 videos on deck in various states of edit. I really wanted to build up a buffer so I could just edit whenever I could in my free time. Way less hectic. Planning out my first long-ish route tomorrow (around 3 hours round trip). Been doing a ton of research on how to plan loops and stops with google maps and get good group ride organization, etc in case I want to have some of you join me on the route. The weather tomorrow seems like it will just barely cooperate. Making a TON of progress on skill and comfortability in traffic.

New video out now! First time hitting a twisty road and got my first biker wave after a sketchy moment where I needed the vibes back. Best I’ve felt on the bike. Covered a decent amount of ground!

Edit is wrapped. Just doing the export and the upload here in a bit. Probably up in ~90 minutes. No 3am night. I'm thrilled. Absolutely massive edit job for me. Woof. Appreciate y'all being patient.

New video out tonight (possibly early morning hours of tomorrow). Apologies for the gap, but between the monsoon weekend, card show, planning a wedding, getting my website up, hockey games, my normal 9-5, and the 4th of July, it's been hard to finish the 4-5 hour edit for the last video. I'm about halfway done with my latest video. I'm going to drop links to all my gear in the description, also, and a link to the video on how I did my setup. I would just be repeating a lot of stuff I already saw and got help from and I want to help bump the channel that helped me. Thanks for bearing with me. The cool thing though is I have a good backlog of footage building up because I've been prioritizing riding when it's nice out. Lots of comfortability on the bike. Got a couple messages about group rides which is awesome! Can't wait to ride with some of y'all.

Went for a small ride this morning and randomly ended up at a GameStop Pokemon card drop. Met some cool people and got some cool cards (I'll briefly show in next video). BUT... the big news is that I finally got my website up. I got it deployed as quickly as I could and it will be getting incremental updates as I have time. If you want to get in contact with me for a ride or have any questions/inquiries, email scott@pokemonninja.com !!
Doing another ride tomorrow and finishing up the gear video. Video will probably be up Monday or Tuesday depending on how long the edit takes!

Apologies for the lapse in videos. It's been non-stop raining here and really throwing a damper on things. Part of the gear video was going to be the bike and stuff (installing some shogun frame sliders), but the garage is a mess and wanted to do it outside. It's coming soon the second the weather lets up. Thanks!

Just finished the edit. Dead tired. Will post first in the morning to make sure I didn’t miss something dumb. Much longer video this time so I underestimated how much time it was gonna take! Woof. At least I learned how to bleep out swearing.

Alright I’m about 40% done with editing but have to hit the hay as I have work in the morning. Luckily I found a good easy way to bleep stuff out when I slip up. If you ever want to clean your language up, try to edit a video and bleep it all out lol Should be up tomorrow night.
