RIP Hunter 350 // Final Ride Vlog?
Today started with high hopes! Unfortunately, fate scheduled an appointment with an angry cager who ended my day and prematurely terminated the Hunter's road career. I have briefly recounted the incident below to give more closure. The entire accident video may be released later, depending on legal issues.

The Hunter was a total loss. Both rider and machine suffered a +25 MPH impact on the rear left while traveling at ~55 MPH. The Hunter and I both high-sided at full speed without warning, and I was thrown to the pavement to begin my painful slide on the concrete highway. I rolled 2-3 times before I could control my slide. On the final roll, I flattened out onto my stomach to prevent further injuries.
My helmet's visor and outer shell took an extended beating, but they managed to stay intact. My riding jacket took a brutal grinding on Houston's concrete highway. The jackets' shoulders and elbows disintegrated, but they survived long enough to protect my skin from being erased on the speeding concrete. My riding gloves also took a beating but survived almost entirely intact.
Both of my shoulders, hips, and left leg suffered deep tissue trauma and joint hyper-extensions from the initial impact and the subsequent tumble on the pavement. My left wrist suffered a deep abrasion when the left jacket arm retracted during the initial impact onto the pavement. Both knees suffered abrasions from the slide, but my left knee fared worse with deeper lacerations and impact trauma. My lower back and neck suffered the most significant injuries from the rapid twisting from the tumble on the pavement.
However, I was able to w̶a̶l̶k̶ limp away from the accident thanks to my safety equipment! My crash helmet, riding jacket, gloves, and boots protected me from suffering more devastating injuries. I have always advocated for the ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time), or MOTGATT (Most of The Gear All The Time) riding philosophies. This incident provided HARSH (and thankful) proof that it works!
This was my first significant motorcycle accident in 38+ years and 2M+ miles of riding on the streets. I've had numerous minor incidents over the decades, but never an injury that made me pause (or stop?) riding. Unfortunately, I won't be riding again for a while until I heal from my injuries and feel strong enough to ride again without complications.
I hope to join you again soon to share more motorcycle rides and motocamping adventures. Cheers, and remember to RIDE SAFE! 🙏😉👍

HUNTER 350 : Accident Aftermath & Insurance Buyback
My Hunter 350 was totaled in an accident on October 18, 2033 ( https://youtu.be/ryELMtEel8g ). The repair estimate was over $6000, so the insurance company deemed it a total loss. I requested a buyback option to salvage a few items from it and potentially rebuild the bike if the frame isn't damaged.
If it's rebuildable, then I might convert it into a scrambler or a tracker. Otherwise, I'll part it out and keep a few bits for my next Hunter 350 project. Wish me luck! 😉👍 --QM

Saturday Small-bore Moto Meet-up // Wolfsmiths Heights
Frank ( @Chicomotorider ) told me about a small-bore meetup happening at Wolfsmiths Heights ( @wolfsmithsheights2509 ) on Saturday, so I just had to go! I'm always itching to meet up with other small-bore aficianados and mini-moto maniacs! Skip around with the chapter markers below.
I mentioned the event to Kevin ( @ExcelsiorDDZ ), and he was already driving down to Houston to pick up an auction item that he won... perfect timing! He decided to bring his riding gear with him and ride the second Scooter Cannonball Super Cub to the meet-up.
We met a lot of interesting people, and several of my unknown channel subscribers/viewers were there at the meet! The Cannonball Cubs were a big hit, and several people had already seen them in the YouTube videos... how cool is that?! 😉👍
Time indexes:
0:00 Headed to the warehouse to meet Kevin and Frank, swapping the Hunter for the Super Cub
2:07 I ran out of fuel on the Hunter... miscalculated and got stranded on the highway!
5:22 Fuel stats and maximum range analysis for the Hunter
6:38 More zombie cagers on cell phones!
7:55 Bingo fuel for the Hunter is 220-225 miles
9:03 Need to pick up my Michelin Road 6 front tire, and passing 1000 miles in 1 month!
10:27 Crazy cagers running 90+ MPH on I-10
11:27 Givi AF49 AirFlow windscreen for the Hunter?
13:34 MadStad Engineering adjustable & removable screen for the Hunter?
14:29 Headed to Wolfsmiths Heights on the Cannonball Super Cubs!
16:50 Refueling Cub number 2, backfires and rough engine sounds compared to Cub number 1
20:22 Welcome to Wolfsmiths Heights!
22:02 Leaving Wolfsmiths and headed to Nando's PERi-PERi for lunch

VLOG: Hunter 350 Commute // Rainy Ride & Bingo Fuel!
Welcome to a rainy Wednesday and my School of Hard Knocks! I took the Hunter for a work commute today in the rain to see how these CEAT tires behave on wet pavement. As soon as I left my neighborhood, the low fuel light started flashing... but I pushed my luck too far. Skip around with the chapter markers below.
Product links:
Frogg Toggs Men's Ultra-Lite2: https://amzn.to/3FcQnrP
Nelson Rigg Storm Rider 2-piece suit: https://amzn.to/3tt0YfC
The minor point I didn't mention in the video is that I FORGOT MY WALLET this morning! I planned to stop at a fuel station and try to pre-authorize the pump with Google Wallet or Samsung Pay on my phone, but I haven't tried that option before. Anyway... I pushed my luck just a bit too far and ran out of fuel on I-10 in the HOV lane... just 2 miles short of my exit!
Luckily, it sputtered to a stop in the best possible (safest) location along the route. The wide shoulder in that portion of the Katy HOV lanes offered relative safety while I waited for a roadside rescue. My son rescued me with a NoSpill container containing 1 gallon of go-go juice, and I continued home after filling up at Wal-Mart.
Lessons learned:
- 1. The Hunter warned me with plenty of notice, and I rolled 46 miles into the "F-trip" meter on "reserve"
- 2. Don't count on draining this tank's total of 3.4 gallons of fuel!
- 3. The factory-claimed "dead stock" of 0.13 gallons (0.5L) isn't accurate because I refilled with exactly 3 gallons of fuel
- 4. Fuel economy at refill was 84.3 MPG (253 miles, 3.0 gallons), so the maximum range is ~250 miles before pushing!
- 5. Don't forget your wallet at home, doofus!
Time indexes:
0:00 It's a rainy Wednesday, fighting with wet, sticky rain gear
2:42 Riding slow and careful on these CEAT tires, upgrading to Michelin Road 6 very soon
5:36 The Hunter's first RAW ride video on my new channel @QuasiRAW is going wild with views!
8:50 The RE Custom Seat feels better for commuting but not sure about longer rides
10:19 Commuting in the HOV, update on Auto Engina accessories?
12:08 Rain gear selection: I prefer lightweight suits, but they aren't durable
15:40 Speeders and tailgaters stacking up in multi-car accidents
16:40 These CEAT tires track horribly on grooved pavement
17:50 Strategic lane placement and proactive riding habits
19:36 Cagers on cell phones!
21:13 Open air smells while riding, and pressure cooking in this rain suit!
22:32 RANT: why are most Audi and Tesla drivers such aggressive D-bags?!
25:26 Hunter gripes: the rear ABS is hyperactive, and the side stand is too tall
28:50 Resuming my journey sans rain suit
31:14 Hunter's rear suspension is too stiff and needs an upgrade
35:09 The lottery is over $1B again! My conspiracy theory about fake lotto's
36:28 Hunter's "Trip-F" meter for mileage tracking into "reserve"
37:28 Starting the return commute, pushing luck and making poor choices?!

Motorcycle Safety: Riding with high beams during the daytime?
One of the most common comments I receive on my motorcycle videos is, "Why are you riding with your high beams on?!" Well, here's the answer!
Motorcycles have a smaller visual profile in traffic, and the headlight is typically not as bright as automotive equivalents. Using the high beam adds vital visibility in traffic so cagers can distinguish us from the rest of traffic. Auxiliary lighting, such as driving lights or fog lights, also aid in differentiating motorcycles from other vehicles. Anything that looks DIFFERENT or stands out is a Good Thing.
Different countries have their own rules and regulations, but most states in the USA are very clear on the use of high beams during daylight hours. Motorcyclists are encouraged and trained to use their high beams for better conspicuity in traffic. This safety practice is taught in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) rider's courses, and it is also listed in many states' motorcycle operator training manuals.
I live in Texas, and these points have been in our motorcycle operator's manual for decades. Here is a quick link to download a copy from the state website: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/mot/pdf/TDLR%20Motorcycle%20Operators%20Manual.pdf . The current revision lists this point on page 30.
I've practiced this life-saving trick for decades, riding all over the USA, and it has always been common sense for all riders I've known. My father always rode his motorcycle with his high beams during daylight hours. When I was young, I distinctly remember asking him about it while riding together on a road trip. His answer was simple: "That's so all these crazy 4-wheelers and big rigs can SEE us, and maybe we can make it home for dinner!" Yep... well said! 😉👍

23:09 Simple bikes with no adjustments, this is back-to-basics riding!
26:45 Purring along at 55 mph, speedometer is about 3.5 mph optimistic vs GPS

VLOG: Saturday Subscriber Meet-up & New Bike Shopping!
I took the Ryker for a breakfast meet-up this morning so I could have it appraised for sale or trade-in at a local dealer. One of my channel subscribers, Frank, wanted to meet this morning and show me his new 2023 Honda XR150L. Skip around with the chapter markers below.
Frank followed me back to my warehouse to snag a free computer monitor, and we had fun playing with some of my Honda mini-motos in the garage. I might have corrupted him into future Super Cub ownership, and I'm trying to push him further over to the dark side... moto-camping! 🤣👍

0:00 Breakfast meet-up plans
3:11 Interested in the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Scram 411
5:15 Ryker apprasials are almost $2K under retail?

34:51 Triumph Bonneville Bobber is beautiful but uncomfortable
38:29 Ryker appraisal was too low, I'll probably get the R-E Hunter 350
