My Vision Board Got LEAKED 🫣

THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE CRAZY

We’re making big moves in 2025. Here are some things to can look forward to seeing as you follow along on the journey!

1. For the next step in my decade long riding career, I plan to earn both an MSF Instructor Certification and a Track Coach Certification. With as many riders that I’ve been able to help through the massive reach of the Yammie Noob channel, earning those credentials will only help substantiate my ability to help more people experience motorcycles in a safe and positive way. You can address me as Mr. Noob or Professor Noob, whichever you prefer.

2. On a similar note, we want to start a New Rider Series where we document a new rider’s experience starting from ground zero. I want to be able to take someone with zero motorcycle experience and teach them how to be a confident and capable rider and showcase their journey across a long term video series on the channel. If you’re in the DFW area and have charisma, a good attitude, and in interest in partaking in this project, send an email to [email protected]. [media training/existing social media presence is a huge plus].

3. I plan to continue my progress in the stunt game. I’ve been out here putting in the man hours on my recently acquired (and already broken) Grom while exercising those wheelie fundamentals. Soon I will be putting on a clinic, doing balance point wheelies, stoppies, hand drags, you name it. Just wait and see.

4. Life imitates art - I bought a Gixxer 600 track bike. It was too good of a deal to pass up. So expect a lot more track day content this year.

5. There are so many awesome new bikes coming out this year and I want to get as many of them as possible for future giveaways. The long awaited R9 is coming, and I’d love to spend some time with it. The CFMoto 675SS has also piqued the interest of many broke boi sport bike squids. Ducati’s new Panigale V2 has been polarizing as well, but I have high hopes for the ground up redesign of the V2 platform.

6. My ability to travel was very limited in 2024 as my wife and I welcomed our new baby into the world. Things have since settled down and I am eager to be able to travel again for different motorcycle events. Most notably, I plan on attending the Isle of Man TT which is kind of a Holy Grail experience for any motorcycle racing aficionado. Keep an eye out for other press events, launches, or long distance rides that I hope to experience this year as well.

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SQUID 🦑 🏍️ 📖

1. Suzuki’s President has hinted at new sport bikes in the near future. First a new DRZ, and now this? Suzuki once paved the way for modern sport bikes with the GSX-R 750 and GSX-R 1000. In the 20 years since then, they’ve kind of fell behind in the back in terms innovation or advancement. As a result, the GSX-R 600, 750, and 1000 have been discontinued for sale in Europe for failure to meet Euro 5 emissions standards. The super sport category is in the midst of a renaissance with the R9, RC 990 R, and Panigale V2. The following statement from Suzuki gives us hope that they’re eager to become a part of the ‘next generation’ as well. “We cannot tell you the detail, but we think it’s important to bring supersport motorcycles to the market, adapting to the new regulations.”

2. When Ducati launched the Hypermotard 698, we all hoped to see the new 659 cc Super Mono Single Cylinder Engine, of which it is built upon, utilized across different platforms. An off-road oriented model seemed the most likely, considering the massive uptick in Adventure-tinged motorcycles hitting the market. Other motorcycles like a single cylinder sport bike seemed less realistic, but still an interesting pipe dream. Unfortunately, these hopes have been squashed according to a recent statement from Ducati claiming there are zero plans to cross platform the Super Mono engine, despite it being the most power and highest revving single cylinder engine around right now. Ducati’s Head of Product Marketing explains the decision is due to viability, cost, sales, inventory, blah blah blah. Sounds like excuses to me.

3. Every 2025 Indian Scout has been recalled. The company has stated that the bikes might make the rider spontaneously turn into a cruiser bro Instagram influencer who will advertise NBT riding jeans. JK, the bikes have been signaling false neutrals while they are still in gear.

4. Just as I am on the precipice of joining the elite ranks of Grom Stunt Bois, Kansas City officials are petitioning for a specific anti-wheelie legislation. Looks like I won’t be visiting Kansas City any time soon! You know the stunt scene has got to be fire if the general laws about “reckless operation” are not deliberate enough to keep the wheelie bois at bay. The proposed ordinance is for “prohibiting the operation of a motor vehicle with less than all wheels of the motor vehicle in constant contact with the ground.” I don’t appreciate the passive-aggressive tone. Less than all the wheels. Beating around the bush, much?

THIS IS THE MOST HEARTWARMING GIVEAWAY WINNER STORY YET!

“Also wanted to thank you, so tldr I'm very grateful for this. More below. Last year I'd saved up to actually buy a Ninja 400 as my very first motorcycle. I'd signed up for the MSF and was super excited. Then in December my home got hit by the tornadoes that came through. All that money for the bike was used up helping my family out and dealing with issues that came up. While we weren't the worst affected, it definitely delayed my plans. Come October this year I finally did the MSF and passed so I was super excited to save up again and get that 400. Then, 1 year to the day that we started repairs on the house, and a few months after we finally finished everything, I got your email. So I just want to thank you to the fullest. No pity party needed, just wanted to explain the gratefulness I have. Your work helped me figure out how to get into this hobby smartly and gave me the confidence to try it. Keep on keeping on. Highest Gratitudes, Joe.”
