You Know What Really Grinds My Gears

Lets do this!
Working on my new motovlog "You know what really grinds my gears". I want to talk about those annoying things that only motorcyclist deal with. I will probably break it up into a mini series. Would love some input from the community on what little things that grind your gears!
 
Also, sometimes I wear a baseball cap to work, to hide the helmet created birdsnest, and afterwards I find myself standing by the bike. Everything is in the topbox, the topbox is locked and the keys are in the ignition with the bike running to warm up while I put on my helmet...

Except, you guessed it, the baseball cap is still on my head. Bike off, keys out, top box open, cap in, box locked keys in ignition, bike started....

I've left my F@CKING gloves in the topbox!!!....

Several times. It's beyond a joke now. I might tie a piece of string to my gloves and thread it through the sleeves of my jacket!!

When you get everything on and naturally leave your gloves til last. But then as SOON as you put them on, somebody sends you a text/email/snapchat/sextape! GRRRRR!!

Oh yea that is a good one! Also, if you forgot to button your helmet! I can not do it with my damn gloves on!
 
My biggest thing is helmet hair!! Ahh! I got my hair all styled with products looking sexy(not really) but then once the helmet goes on, it all goes downhill.. It sucks & there's no way to work around it unless you carry a cap.

One of the first things I thought about when I was starting to ride. The advice I was given was to either

a) Keep your hair short where it does not matter
b) Man up and not give a F&*$ what people think about your messy hair

I choose option a. I work in an office environment so I have to look presentable haha

You're right, you have to sacrifice otherwise no riding. I've learned to live with it plus I'm in college so I can wear a cap so it works out :)

Thanks to that one, I have now perfected the art of doing up my helmet while riding, with gloves on!! (You can see it in one of the 'Escape to europe' videos on my channel.

Still can't use the touchscreen though!!
 
What Grinds my Gears is a shitty clutch... :eek:

Putting your gloves on then thinking... balls not put my helmet on yet (hard to do strap up with winter gloves on.)

Car drivers that cross lanes then put their indicator on.

I do love our whether and cant complain about the couple days a month it sprinkles. Working on the next one called "What Really Grinds My Gears, Girl Rider Edition" with my wife. That should be entertaining haha. We have a pretty fun time riding together. You can check out my latest one with here in the watch motovlog sections if you want. Came out rather funny lmao. Thanks for watching by the way!

Anyways, better late than never >_> :...

1. Trying to take off your helmet before taking off your glasses ~_~ .

2. Not pulling in the clutch all the way while shifting because of not paying attention ~_~ .

3. Going to take off after parking and clunk - disk locks still on the rotors. Turn off bike, take locks off, put under seat, restart, roll ~_~ .....
