Hi. I'm Reluctant Biker, and I am a NYC-based motorcyclist. Welcome to my channel and thanks for tuning in 🙏 . I began this channel because I wanted to help beginner motorcycle riders like me, because I love motorcycles, and because I love the open road and the vibrant community of motorcyclists.
Please feel free to leave a comment on any of the content and/or please subscribe for future videos.
Be well, ride safely, enjoy life.

A quick disclaimer here: On this channel, I do share tips and strategies on various aspects of riding a motorcycle. However, I am not a motorcycle instructor, so I encourage you to please take a motorcycle safety riding course and follow their instructions carefully. Ride at your own risk. Reluctant Biker disclaims any liability incurred in connection with the use of the concepts outlined on this channel and its content. You alone are responsible for your own safety, so please ride safely.

Thank you for your input, fellow bikers. I have made my decision, which was not easy at all. I'll explain later. Thank you again, and I hope you're all well and enjoying this season.

Hello, fellow bikers! It's been a while. I hope life has been kind to each of you. I have not ridden for over two years since I gave up my Harley. But once a rider always a rider, even if a Reluctant One such as myself. I know for certain that I do not want a bike over 900cc , and I'm contemplating one of the ones listed below. I'd appreciate your input.

Greetings, fellow bikers! It's been a minute. I hope each of you is doing well and that life has been treating you fairly. After a long hiatus, I have somewhat returned. Tomorrow I shall release my first video in almost two years, and it so happens that the video is, in fact , from 2 years ago: From Moto Guzzi to Harley-Davidson: Ode to a Restless Year!

Dear fellow riders, I would like to thank you all for visiting the channel, and I would like to send a special shout out to those who have subscribed to the channel and those leaving such helpful feedback on my material. Your feedback is immensely helpful not only to me but also to those who visit the channel.
I am not a YouTuber in the sense that I produce material for money. I get no monetary reward for this; rather, I started this channel to help those who are planning in joining our awesome community and those seeking help and guidance (not that I am able to offer any!) from riders who have experience with the wheelers.
It's the holiday season, and I hope all is well with all of you and wish you all happy holidays!

I would like to thank each member of the community who participated in my poll last week. Thank you. I, however, while realizing that all the choices listed in my poll were solid ones, went ahead and purchased a Z900RS on a whim. Well, not exactly on a whim, but it was a sudden decision. In the next few weeks, I will release a video in which I will try to provide a comprehensible review of the bike. Thus far I have ridden it every single day, for I am trying to get to know the bike and enjoy the lovely weather we have been having here on the East Coast.
Be well, ride well.
Hope to see you all soon!

Dear fellow bikers, I hope all of you are doing well. I have done the thing that many of you probably already suspected I would do: I have parted with my Guzzi! You all know that I deeply respected the bike, but in my heart, I just couldn't make a connection with it the way one should. Besides, in the last six months circumstances beyond my control propelled me to make such a decision, and for all sorts of reasons, I had zero plans to purchase another bike anytime soon. Nevertheless, being a biker at heart and loving all things two wheels, I realized that I can't go through the season without a bike. The call of the road is too strong! Thus I thought I would turn to you for some feedback. I have a soft spot for retro bikes, so I have narrowed it down to several. Of the ones listed below, which one do like best in terms of looks and performance?

Hellow fellow bikers! Yesterday I took advantage of the rare NYC amiable weather and took my Guzzi out. What a pleasure to be out and about again! Hope you all are safe and enjoying your bikes and life in general :).
