Police Said He Did 140 MPH on a 500 It Wasn't Even Possible Feat R6Ant

R6Ant joins 66 on Riders Radar for a conversation about motorcycle culture, learning to ride, crashing, rebuilding, wheelies, social media, and the lessons that changed the way he approaches motorcycles. Ant started riding at 18 on a Honda CB500F before moving into Yamaha R6s and eventually his current Kawasaki ZX6R. He shares the story of being arrested after police accused him of doing 140 mph on a 500, why he recommends buying your first motorcycle used, and how seat time matters more than rushing to a faster bike. We also get into the two crashes that changed his riding style, including a Blood Mountain wreck that broke both wrists and an 80 mph lowside that left him with a broken leg. Ant explains how recovery led him to a Honda Grom, learning wheelies, and creating motorcycle tutorials that helped grow his social media community. The episode also covers his ZX6R build, track day plans, motorcycle safety, beginner rider advice, content creation, Yamaha R6 culture, Ant Supply Co, and turning motorcycle content into income.
