Sup yammie I live about 3 hours from Dallas lol. I'd love to ride with u someday. I'm a beginner rider so I'd love some tips from ya and see what u think about my riding so far.
@@stevenfxgp Well KTM will always set you back a bunch of money. They're a ridiculous bunch of engineers and I can not understand their wicked ways. But the RC390 is a sweet ride👌 Had a blast on it even though I was way to tall for it. You just can use every last bit of power on twisty roads and you can always give it full gas.
Yes, ma' dude. Especially if you get those sweet OEM ones. Reminds me of a guy who crashed his 02 Fazer 6. After he went to the local dealsership to enquire about new fairings, he turned his bike into a street fighter. XD
8:00 I always thought that riders who wear full gear always looked cooler than those who wear little to none. You look like you know what you’re doing and you mean business. Even before I got a bike, I always thought that people who rode in a tshirt and shorts just looked like kids riding an oversized bicycle lol
@@toxiknao8826 if you live in normal they can (legally) go max 50km/h, but i would just get a 70cc cylinder and put it in the bike. most newer bikes are supermoto which overqualifies them for 50cc
Get a cheap dual sport bike, MX boots, helmet, gloves, body armor and knee pads. Take the bike out on some tight trails in the dirt, sand or gravel. Ride hard on tight trails. You will still be going slow and are unlikely to get hurt when you drop the bike. You'll break some mirrors and turn signals off the bike unless you remove them first; otherwise the bike is unlikely to get seriously damaged except for cosmetic stuff. Anyone with a dual sport that isn't scuffed-up some rides like a sissy. You'll get used to dropping the bike pretty quick and realize it isn't a big deal.
So nearly dropped my r3 yesterday, hit the trottle too quick on some grass and slid out sideways nearly hit the house Haha. Just a bit paranoid at the moment
@@sam7811 Unfortunately I'm going to college for 2 years, so I cant get one till' afterwards but once I'm done, there's nothing stopping me from getting a bike
My parents love motorcycles so we're always riding together, my dad on a harley 1200 sportster, my mom on a mt-09, my sister on a mt-07, and me on a Ktm 690 SMR😁
gothboiclique_in_the_back_hoe my parents (mom, my dads kinda cool with it) always say no saying I’m gonna die and they would honestly rather die than have me ride a motorcycle. But I guess they do it because they love me..😬
I ride the Super Cub 125 on the highway all the time. Just don't be a bitch LOL... Actually though, real talk. Just keep an eye on your mirrors. Keep an eye for cars going faster than you (all of them) and who isn't paying any attention.
I don't really get why some riders don't like to wear Helmets. I actually enjoy the ride when I'm using one, and it's more comfortable to ride with a helmet on.
First bike I bought was, and still is, my beloved Honda NT 700V. Much bigger than it looked in the pictures, I dropped it the first day I got it. My friends don't know, my woman doesn't know, but you guys now know, that those ungainly scratches on the side of my beautiful machine were caused by my pure noobiness. Feels good to finally tell someone. Thanks Yammie.
I dropped my bike 2 weeks after I got it when leaving work, got a tight space to make a tiny right turn and I didn't use enough throttle so I had to lay it down thankfully it's only 210 kilos so it was easy to pick back up, it was slightly embarrassing though xD
Dropped my bike, or might as well dropped myself with my bike on the 2nd day i got it. Its pure stupidty, because after i slightly get out balanced, and tilted the bike at a 45° angle. Upon standing it straight, i forgot to turn the gear to neutral, i squeezed the throttle and voila! i got dragged about a meter. my knee was badly wounded. but thats not it, i panicked and because of shame i try quickly tried to stand the bike, then i squeezed the throttle... a 2nd drop. Then people around and my uncle told me to stay still and helped me stand. Dude, i still hate myself whenever i remember that day. But its a lesson. a hard one.
My step dad admired my bike for so long it got awkward. He used to ride, even offering him the key he didn't want to ride it. "No, that's your bike. I'll get one when I retire" mad respect. He wouldn't even sit on it.
I'm 19 and I make plenty of money so I'm just buying a Dual sport as a weekend toy and I can't be stopped lol. I already have a car, this bike wouldnt be my daily.
Are you sure? There's a time when a rider got accident that his head is still wearing a helmet but his head is seperated from his body. He's fucking dead. It can save lives but not all the time.
Peak Head Obviously. Maybe a seat belt once crushed a guys windpipe or something. But for each failure, there are hundreds if not thousands of lives saved. And don’t he tempted to think you’ll be the one who survived without one. You wont. Or if you do, enjoy coma and brain damage.
Depends though. Without some Armor, your state of living will dramatically change. For instance boots, while being innocuous, save your ankels from twisting thirty times over against the grain, allowing you to walk away instead of... Uh... Writhe in your wheelchair every proceeding morning.
Dropped my bike last week. So glad that you made this video. It made me feel better. To anyone looking to get rid of their fear again...the fact that you're reading this is already a win. You will have the chance to repair what you need. Get back on and have fun.
There's a lot of low maintenance bikes in the world my guy, you could get these bikes for like 700$ bucks, and may i reccomended you the splendor + , its the smoothest bike I have ever rode, the only downside is that it only goes to 90 kph at Max.
I find myself getting really annoyed when seeing people riding without protective gear. Road rash is the most painful injury you can get guys, be safe.
Steve Downey Look it up Karen, severe road rash can cause infection, which can kill you. Also your skin gets ripped off, it’s like burning alive. But yea to each their own.
Carpet burn on your knee is already super painful, I can only imagine that on the scale of the entire side of your body with bits of dirt, gravel and asphalt embedded in it.
"When you are in your early 20s and you are on a bike that can go 160 (MPH)" Maybe that is why insurance is ridiculously high in Canada until you are 25
In Washington, U.S.A it's more like 28 years old for males. Females get cheaper insurance around 21. It's really only super expensive for four-cylinder bikes though; most relatively powerful twins and even some triples have surprisingly affordable insurance even at age 23 for me.
Yeah. Single young males are the highest risk drivers, or riders in this case. All that testosterone gets too us I guess lol. I remember when just liability used to cost me $90 for an old beater. Tis life though.
@@pileofashes85 excuse me what??? 850? That is absurdly high! Rip your wallet my man, I wish you the absolute best of luck with that. It seems like you'll need it
Dropped my bike 3 times in my first year boys😂 1- forgot to put the peg down 2- my foot slipped on gravel 3- I thought it'd be fun to ride my bike on a soccer field (I have sport tires) locked the wheel and busted my ass
For fear#3, I understand being the slowest one the group. I warned two guys that I rode with once that I could be the slowest one in the group. They were perfectly fine with that. When it came to the highway run, they were surprised cause I would be keeping up on their tail the entire on just my zx6r, while they were on a FJ1300 and a GXSR1000. The corners though were where I was slow, and the guy on the FJ purposely stayed behind me the whole time to help me up in case I dropped my bike. I did go off the road when a turn became too tight all of a sudden, but brought it back as I rode through someones yard for a moment. They gave me props instead of scolding me for being so controlled and not crashing when they both thought I did. Sometimes being the one who has the least experience has the best rewards in the end of the day.
@@thebasy2453 problem with that?? Or your just too good for group riding because other will only slow you down when you try to beat lap time in roads??

I am an older rider, had plenty my share of dropped motorcycles. The worst was on the Dallas North Tollway, at a tollbooth years ago. I was on a BMW RT and stupidly stopped on the middle hump, it just started raining and I went down. It took what felt like half an hour and at least six people trying to help, to get righted. It was so dang slick. It was early October and it had not really rained for months. We looked like six laurel and hardy's or three x2 stooges. Finally the toll booth person came out with some cat litter and all was good. Did I mention that it was Friday at 5pm going north bound and traffic had really stacked up behind us? There was a bunch of a'holes honking and what looked like three cars that had crashed into each other trying to get out of my lane. Oooppps. I hadn't noticed during the whole event, but my left little finger was out of joint at the hand. One of the people who stopped was an ER nurse. She saw it while I was thanking all who stopped. She said, oh honey, let me see that. You should maybe... Bam, she jerked that finger right back into place without me knowing it was coming! After a brief moment of profanity, I thanked her and we all went our separate ways. If that were today, someone or one(s) would have had a bunch of youtube views for sure.
It takes thousands of miles on a bike to fine-tune your ability to know when your grip is weak,sand or oil are dangers,when you're too close to someone's bumper or going too fast while splitting. I went down about 8 times,pushing my limits to fully understand what my boundaries are. I accelerated through turns to know what my grip is like under different weather conditions. Now I know the critical importance of not coming into a turn "too hot",not tailgating,not taking off the instant a light goes green,feeling the difference between dry and wet pavement and having better throttle control.
Yup, that's the way you lift a heavy bike. Almost anyone can lift a fallen Gold Wing or Electra Glide with relative ease using this technique. It gives a good, firm stand and makes the best use of your leg muscles. Plus, you may still have a healthy spine after the age of 30.
Those bikes are built to be dropped, tho. And softer soil does not damage as much as hard asphalt. Also, most of the time, street riders are going at higher speeds than offroaders. I am not saying that off roaders are worse riders, more like the opposite. I am just listing up facts.
Feel the grip under you. Don't accelerate through turns aggressively. Slow down at intersections. Always wear gear. Always look both ways when your light turns green. Don't road rage. Don't tailgate. Let people be stupid drivers. Get away from people doing too much on the road,swerving in and out of lanes constantly. Always be ready for a driver to do something stupid. Learn agility on your bike. Practice quick swerves on your bike,the skill will come in handy later when someone that doesn't see you almost side swipes you. Most importantly, enjoy the ride 🤙
same and the second i do, im gonna have my neighbor get me used to riding on highways.(thats only because a highway is what connects the main parts of my city/town
Just lost my step dad on July 31 after being in the icu for 2 weeks after a motorcycle accident that happened with him and his best friend. Estimated speed was 30 with no road variables, no one knows what happened but he hit his head and thats what got him. Ride safe everyone.
When learning to ride my first bike (Virago 1000) I went into a corner too wide and dropped her. Minimal damage to the bike, maximum damage to my ego when two Harley riders stopped to help. :-)
The highway fear is because of the speed. If you drop your bike doing 25 in a residential you'll get some scrapes. If you drop on the highway at 75 you may not get up. MSF teacher said don't get up to speed until you're comfortable; nothing worse that someone without riding confidence going too fast for their own good.
That MSF teacher needs to be fired - at least if that's an advice they give to people who are about to take their test. If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place. Being scared of high speeds is just an accident waiting to happen, as fear itself is one of the main contributors to unforced errors - not just on bikes but in general.
I disagree; telling a new rider to put themselves into sensory overload can cause major errors and deathgrips. I don't think it would be prudent to tell someone to deliberately do something dangerous that they aren't mentally prepared to do.
@@Real_MisterSir as usual, as Lunus says "it depends". In learning the big problem is that people learn differently. Some people soak up information like a sponge once put in a stressful situation, other people lock up and figuratively drown in the information that is given to them if they are slightly confused or stressed. You are correct that person should be capable of operating on the road in all legal conditions, but the way someone gets up to standard may vary.
@@Real_MisterSir says: "If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place." If he were honest that only leaves three possible options. 1) Either he never started riding (because as a new rider he was not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more,) 2) He started riding but was ignorant or unconscious of the risks and rode anyway. 3) He understood the risks, appreciated his own lack of experience and skill but now he has forgotten that time and has turned into a complete hypocrite.
I am far more cautious riding in town and on country roads than on the freeway. Not to say that I'm not paying attention or overly comfortable on the freeway it's just like the pube said in the video; there are far fewer things out there to get you on the freeway than in town or the country. You don't have dogs or pedestrians darting out, cars turning left in front of you, cars pulling directly in front of you etc. While the speeds are definitely faster on the freeway, taking a car on 35-40 mph that turns in front of you is what I'm more worried about. I know that I'm not just going to fall over or otherwise go down at 80 on the freeway.
I worked at a Kawasaki dealership for around 20 years. I always told the customers, that there are 2 kinds of riders. Those who have been down, and those who will be.
I cannot ride without my goggles. I always get bugs in my eyes and then I have to stop and it's terrible so I always wear my helmet. -sincerely, your local dirt bike dude.
4:00 "no surprise cars" As a European that is allowed to filter, I beg to differ. I've started anticipating at least one car per day cutting me off, a quota that I haven't missed often so far.
What european country are you from? In the 3 european countries I have lived and driven in (Italy, Greece and Switzerland) filtering is NOT legal (unless several exceptions apply such as low relative speeds etc), contrary to common belief. Even if it is legal in your country, the fact that you experience the dangers of it every single day yet still continue filtering away, baffles me! Just dont do it, be safe and prioritize coming home alive and in one piece!
@@paris8132 I live in Belgium. Not to come off snarky but if I sat my butt in traffic I might as well take the car. The motorcycle is my quick and easy form of transportation. I have yet to see a single motorcyclist here that sits in traffic.
@@8eewee I mean, when you filter at the light where all the cars are at a full stop its fine. If you're filterning in moving trafic you're exposing yourself to a non negligible danger you know exists. Consider blind spots, grannies at the wheel, young drivers who think they're better than they really are... it is just not smart. Plus, you're not really gaining that much time. I may shave 5 min off my 35 min commute to work if I drive my Ninja like a suicidal madman.
99% of your bikes are also under 250cc so your country really does not rate a mention. You guys would not know what real power is. A bit like your cricket team.
Riding on the highway is definitely one for me. I'd love to do but having only had my licence a few weeks doing the national speed limit still feels like I'm breaking the sound barrier and I'm still not quite used to it. And as a result of being somewhat intimidated by it I have been avoiding it. Preferring the unwarranted "safety" of riding around town... in the traffic haha
the only main reason I have the fear of riding on the highway i live off of is because of all the fatal wrecks its had or serious accidents its had giving it the name I'llKillYa highway. i know my skill and i know me personally would be driving safe but the idiots around me not so much. Only positive part about it is the fact itll make me a defensive driver real quick
Did. That in early 2000 and still cant forget it, I dropped off a package and then leg over my sv650 while ogling some secretaries having a smoke break, all cool and calm. Fired up the bike and pulled away from the kerb, Klunk ,stop dead, leaning left, foot still on peg while rolling off the bike on the road, get up really quick, picked up bike, removed lock, restart and ride off quickly, NOT looking back.... still gives me panic attacks. I now use a stretchy coil cable which I tie from disk lock to brake lever. I never forget , EVER. Stay safe all.
Just got a 600s 1996 Bandit for my first bike and I was wicked intimidated at first. At 31 though it’s nice to just cruise around on and have power when you want it. Not really into racing anything anymore at my age trying to make it to 40 at least lol. All I can really say is just ride.
am I the only one who thinks motorcycle clothes look fking amazing? like surely its protective gear, but yooo i think that stuff looks awesome! Like when i bought my first clothes to drive, i was like "yoo, i look fking amazing!" maybe its jstu that i like the general look. Also tbh. i find riding with normal jeans or something looks awfully wrong xD
No you're totally right. Like a badass leather jacket, or other protective jacket look amazing. Riding pants are pretty good looking too. And to top it all off, a damn good looking helmet! Personally, I enjoy the sleek and minimalistic look, but it all just looks great
Nah its true. All the protection make you look hella strong and tuff. Its just like how the SWAT team has all their gear on makes them look tuff. Gear = Cool.
Dropped my new bike in the first month, nothing major to myself or the bike. Actually kinda glad to get it over with and not sweat the whole shiny new bike thing anymore. Not planning on making it a habit of course but as he said it's probably going to happen to everyone one day. Stay safe.
That is my mentality. I dropped mine for the first time yesterday. I’ve owned the bike a week and it was only my 3rd time on a bike in 20 years . It sucked but I’m ok. In a way I’m kinda happy I got it out of the way. Before I was so scared of dropping it, I was really tense riding. Now that I’ve done it, I’m like ok that sucked but the fear of it is eased up. I dropped mine like the rider at 2:39 did. Came off a start, turned the handle bars to make a low speed sharp turn and down I went. To much turn of the wheel with a little gravel and too much lean and that was it. Thankfully i was going very slow when it happened.
I have had my new 2022 Yamaha MT-07 for one month and accidentally dumped it on my driveway while washing it. Couldn’t believe it. Broke a few minor things and scratched the paint. Tryna be a good sport about it but it does suck! Good to point out that mistakes catch us all by surprise and that in 10 years from now it won’t really matter after all, will it? Fortunately it seems to happen to a majority of us at least once or twice !
My bike broke down last weekend and dropped it trying to walk it on a crappy shoulder....more pissed it dropped than broke down. At least a fellow biker pulled up and made sure i was ok and helped me pick it up as well as followed me to the shop 2mi down the road to make sure i got there
If you've dropped your motorbike don't feel too bad. I ended up dropping it at a stand still waiting to go around a really big and busy roundabout had cars piled behind me, so I picked up my bike and moved it as close to edge as possible as not to completely stop the flow of traffic. Fortunately it was a slow fall as I was able to let it down enough that it didn't cause any major damage.
"Don't be afraid to go on the freeway." [Gets onto the freeway on 250 starter bike, looks and sounds like the time Jeremy Clarkson got on the motorway in his "P45," in other words 20mph slower than everyone else and screaming the whole time.]
I'm afraid of riding on the highway because of simply going over 60mph. I just recently started riding. Whether I realize it or not, my body fears whatever possibility my bike could lose control be it a beatle, bird, loose wheel nut etc and I go tumbling breaking numerous already weak bones in my body. But I love riding still.
Haha tell that to the new dual sports that are being produced these days, costing between 7 and 10 grand.. I would be more afraid to drop one of those, than most street bikes :s
If someone gets a new dual sport and it isn't scuffed up pretty quick, everyone will know that they may have a fast bike but they ride like a sissy. :)
I dropped my bike in a parking lot that had a depression by a manhole. I braked going into it when the bike was turned slightly, and it tipped. I could not right it because the gasoline started to flow out, slicking the asphalt. But as usual, two young guys helped me right it. Thank god for bystanders ...
@@christianohannan5603 she said that she won’t really care if I want to do it but she still isn’t fully convinced but it’s better than no (if you were asking me if you weren’t my bad😅)
@@trulynotavailable Just don't say another word about it as that might lead to arguments. Getting a license is proof enough that you can handle yourself
I know there’s a lot of folks here that have the confidence and wherewithal to drive safely… but so did my older brother. This video is the last one in his Motorcycles playlist. He died in a motorcycle accident about two years ago.
I’ve always loved bikes and wanted one, but the danger is just what I don’t know I can get over. I don’t wanna die man, I got so much other shit I wanna do.
Understand your fears and transform them to a healthy respect for motorcycles. Fear causes mistakes, respect will keep you safe. Take the MSF course and your confidence will soar, even if you never ride again it's a great mental booster.
Same, but I guess less than you. My family doesn't want me to have a motorcycle and keeps telling all this stories about that someone that died on a motorcycle, and that one and blå bla bla. They are the ones putting the fear no me, tho I have it to. And that fear can be good, is synonym of precaution.
I'm lookin to get my first bike with no experience and I just gotta say man you have quality content for someone like me. I'm alot less worried about getting on a bike for the first time. Keep up the great work man!
scariest thing is stopping riding your motorcycle, selling your bike, then hearing the new owner broke his back months later and realizing that could of been YOU
3rd season riding, I did a lowside my first minute back in the saddle on brand new rubbers slick from the shop floor. do rapid straight line accelerations/decelerations before leaning the bike. i hurt myself so you didnt have to!
Speaking of always wearing riding gear....Had my first and hopefully last motorcycle accident recently over here in Fort Worth. Not too bad. Broke foot in four places. The high quality motorcycle boot save my foot from being shattered, literally. Riding in the Texas heat understand the urge to not wear gear, but I do not understand not wearing it anyway. You never know when you will need it. My accident was the last thing I expected that day.
I've dropped my beauty bike, like, 8-9 times, but that's just while I'm still beginning to learn. Nothing major, just the stops and turns and BAM! Lean too much or brake out of worry and I'm going down lol. No shame, just practice
I never dropped my bike over many many years on the street until I got an adventure bike. Now I have fallen several times in sand. It wasn’t too bad but lately it’s been hurting more and more. Like a bruised ribs and sore shoulders and neck each separate then together. I know that fear was why I fell because when I pushed and didn’t give up I always made it at least most of the time. I don’t want to give up mentally but if I do it’s going to cost me pain.
I’ve been riding for forty plus years and finally dropped my bike in my friend’s driveway the other day at o speed. Felt like a fool but I have learnt a new skill. Panel beating and fairing decorating 😂
imo, the true fear in a bike is pissing of a crazy man... I'm always very calm and indulgent with people making mistake that could have possibly be dangerous for me but I remember, one day (last week) someone was tailgating me during miles on a 80km/h road (I was almost at 90 to try to keep some room but he kept speeding up), I gently wave him to back up a bit, he began to honk at me and made violent hand gestures. A few meters after, I was on an entrance road, he sped up again, and tryed to ram me with the side of his car on the safety barrier. My elbow touched his mirror, I was like 10cm close to the barrier. I just had the time to downshift and escape as fast as possible. Half a second more and he would have killed me. I didn't have time to see his plate, I didn't even remember the car he has (an old gray Renault Scenic I think but I'm not sure). I went to the nearest police station but since my bike doesn't have any scratch, I don't have camera, the road is not filmed and there is no witness , they can't do anything about it. I'm sure this guy lives in my quarter considering the road he took and now I'm scared every time I ride... I'm just a 20 years old girl that rides, I'm not violent and even if I wanted to, I'm sure my hand would break before a mirror (never tryed and I don't want to). The only way I have to protect myself is some not really effective tear gas so the best option I have is to run away... I'd like to feel safe on the road...

Been riding over 35years rubber side down. Never dropped a bike (I realize the self-prophecizing jinx I just put on myself). I must be doing something wrong lol
Been riding for 10 years ever since I was in elementary school but last week had a terrible fall and fractured my toe for the first time, now I'm watching this video to make myself feel better
I became obsessed with motorcycles at age 10, my mother promised me one of those small Hondas they had in the 70's when I was 13 - She lied ... so it was not until 1992 before I turned 25 that I bought my first bike with my own money. I was a maniac in my 20's, and in 1994 I had a really major wipe out, but I'm fine today. I'm about to turn 55 this month and a few days ago I bought a new bike, the only different thing is my attitude, I never ride without planning where and how, in which conditions and at which speeds I will go and I set limits ... so, I advise you younger guys to watch these vids that I didn't have back in the early 90's about all kinds of wipe outs that are not just dropping your bike but possibly taking your life or even worse, making you a paraplegic. I don't want to sound like an asshole but I had 2 years of physical therapy when I broke both my legs in 94 and more than half of the guys that were there were from bike accidents, some of them never walked again so DON'T FUCK AROUND!
Hey man, now I got motivation to get a bike when I'm old enough!! I'm now 14, but when I can (think it will be when I'm 19) I will get my license and my first bike!!
My first drop was within my first week of riding, and it just happened to be when I was coming to a stop with a surprise unannounced rider behind me. He was nice and helped apparently it was also his first week riding too. Second time, forgot the kickstand two weeks in :p

Get a cheap dual sport bike, MX boots, helmet, gloves, body armor and knee pads. Take the bike out on some tight trails in the dirt, sand or gravel. Ride hard on tight trails. You will still be going slow and are unlikely to get hurt when you drop the bike. You'll break some mirrors and turn signals off the bike unless you remove them first; otherwise the bike is unlikely to get seriously damaged except for cosmetic stuff. Anyone with a dual sport that isn't scuffed-up some rides like a sissy. You'll get used to dropping the bike pretty quick and realize it isn't a big deal.

Helmets save lives. The rest of the gear, for the most part, just saves pain and misery.
And time from picking scabs
Are you sure? There's a time when a rider got accident that his head is still wearing a helmet but his head is seperated from his body. He's fucking dead. It can save lives but not all the time.
Peak Head Obviously. Maybe a seat belt once crushed a guys windpipe or something. But for each failure, there are hundreds if not thousands of lives saved.
And don’t he tempted to think you’ll be the one who survived without one. You wont. Or if you do, enjoy coma and brain damage.

For fear#3, I understand being the slowest one the group. I warned two guys that I rode with once that I could be the slowest one in the group. They were perfectly fine with that. When it came to the highway run, they were surprised cause I would be keeping up on their tail the entire on just my zx6r, while they were on a FJ1300 and a GXSR1000. The corners though were where I was slow, and the guy on the FJ purposely stayed behind me the whole time to help me up in case I dropped my bike. I did go off the road when a turn became too tight all of a sudden, but brought it back as I rode through someones yard for a moment. They gave me props instead of scolding me for being so controlled and not crashing when they both thought I did. Sometimes being the one who has the least experience has the best rewards in the end of the day.

Im 54 and my mom doesnt want me to get a motorcycle. Too bad
I am an older rider, had plenty my share of dropped motorcycles. The worst was on the Dallas North Tollway, at a tollbooth years ago. I was on a BMW RT and stupidly stopped on the middle hump, it just started raining and I went down. It took what felt like half an hour and at least six people trying to help, to get righted. It was so dang slick. It was early October and it had not really rained for months. We looked like six laurel and hardy's or three x2 stooges. Finally the toll booth person came out with some cat litter and all was good. Did I mention that it was Friday at 5pm going north bound and traffic had really stacked up behind us? There was a bunch of a'holes honking and what looked like three cars that had crashed into each other trying to get out of my lane. Oooppps. I hadn't noticed during the whole event, but my left little finger was out of joint at the hand. One of the people who stopped was an ER nurse. She saw it while I was thanking all who stopped. She said, oh honey, let me see that. You should maybe... Bam, she jerked that finger right back into place without me knowing it was coming! After a brief moment of profanity, I thanked her and we all went our separate ways. If that were today, someone or one(s) would have had a bunch of youtube views for sure.
Bike in rain isnt a free car wash. When the rain drops dry there are many small dots on the bike which dont look good...
"Water spots" are what they're called. Give it a good wipe down after the rain and you saved yourself some water
It looks horrible on my black MT10...
It takes thousands of miles on a bike to fine-tune your ability to know when your grip is weak,sand or oil are dangers,when you're too close to someone's bumper or going too fast while splitting. I went down about 8 times,pushing my limits to fully understand what my boundaries are. I accelerated through turns to know what my grip is like under different weather conditions.
Now I know the critical importance of not coming into a turn "too hot",not tailgating,not taking off the instant a light goes green,feeling the difference between dry and wet pavement and having better throttle control.

We the off-roaders (mx, enduro, all that) drop our bikes pretty much all the time. A little bit of mud and some cracked plastics don’t scare anybody
True
It’s a badge of honor
Those bikes are built to be dropped, tho. And softer soil does not damage as much as hard asphalt. Also, most of the time, street riders are going at higher speeds than offroaders.
I am not saying that off roaders are worse riders, more like the opposite. I am just listing up facts.
Those shin scrapes :(
Unrelated, I crashed my quad into a tree once and the plastic just bounced back
i'm getting my driving license soon and you mentally prepared me for sitting on a motorcycle.Thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤️
Feel the grip under you. Don't accelerate through turns aggressively. Slow down at intersections. Always wear gear. Always look both ways when your light turns green. Don't road rage. Don't tailgate. Let people be stupid drivers. Get away from people doing too much on the road,swerving in and out of lanes constantly. Always be ready for a driver to do something stupid.
Learn agility on your bike. Practice quick swerves on your bike,the skill will come in handy later when someone that doesn't see you almost side swipes you. Most importantly, enjoy the ride 🤙

My fear of dropping my bike, especially at speed, has to do with my fear of losing a leg
yea same and also low speeds because your trying to keep the bike from not falling but if you have a heavy bike youre losing a leg for sure
When learning to ride my first bike (Virago 1000) I went into a corner too wide and dropped her. Minimal damage to the bike, maximum damage to my ego when two Harley riders stopped to help. :-)
The highway fear is because of the speed. If you drop your bike doing 25 in a residential you'll get some scrapes. If you drop on the highway at 75 you may not get up. MSF teacher said don't get up to speed until you're comfortable; nothing worse that someone without riding confidence going too fast for their own good.
That MSF teacher needs to be fired - at least if that's an advice they give to people who are about to take their test. If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place. Being scared of high speeds is just an accident waiting to happen, as fear itself is one of the main contributors to unforced errors - not just on bikes but in general.
I disagree; telling a new rider to put themselves into sensory overload can cause major errors and deathgrips. I don't think it would be prudent to tell someone to deliberately do something dangerous that they aren't mentally prepared to do.
@@Real_MisterSir as usual, as Lunus says "it depends". In learning the big problem is that people learn differently. Some people soak up information like a sponge once put in a stressful situation, other people lock up and figuratively drown in the information that is given to them if they are slightly confused or stressed. You are correct that person should be capable of operating on the road in all legal conditions, but the way someone gets up to standard may vary.
@@Real_MisterSir says: "If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place." If he were honest that only leaves three possible options.
1) Either he never started riding (because as a new rider he was not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more,)
2) He started riding but was ignorant or unconscious of the risks and rode anyway.
3) He understood the risks, appreciated his own lack of experience and skill but now he has forgotten that time and has turned into a complete hypocrite.
I am far more cautious riding in town and on country roads than on the freeway. Not to say that I'm not paying attention or overly comfortable on the freeway it's just like the pube said in the video; there are far fewer things out there to get you on the freeway than in town or the country. You don't have dogs or pedestrians darting out, cars turning left in front of you, cars pulling directly in front of you etc. While the speeds are definitely faster on the freeway, taking a car on 35-40 mph that turns in front of you is what I'm more worried about. I know that I'm not just going to fall over or otherwise go down at 80 on the freeway.

That is my mentality. I dropped mine for the first time yesterday. I’ve owned the bike a week and it was only my 3rd time on a bike in 20 years . It sucked but I’m ok. In a way I’m kinda happy I got it out of the way. Before I was so scared of dropping it, I was really tense riding. Now that I’ve done it, I’m like ok that sucked but the fear of it is eased up. I dropped mine like the rider at 2:39 did. Came off a start, turned the handle bars to make a low speed sharp turn and down I went. To much turn of the wheel with a little gravel and too much lean and that was it. Thankfully i was going very slow when it happened.
I have had my new 2022 Yamaha MT-07 for one month and accidentally dumped it on my driveway while washing it. Couldn’t believe it. Broke a few minor things and scratched the paint. Tryna be a good sport about it but it does suck! Good to point out that mistakes catch us all by surprise and that in 10 years from now it won’t really matter after all, will it? Fortunately it seems to happen to a majority of us at least once or twice !
My bike broke down last weekend and dropped it trying to walk it on a crappy shoulder....more pissed it dropped than broke down.

If you've dropped your motorbike don't feel too bad. I ended up dropping it at a stand still waiting to go around a really big and busy roundabout had cars piled behind me, so I picked up my bike and moved it as close to edge as possible as not to completely stop the flow of traffic. Fortunately it was a slow fall as I was able to let it down enough that it didn't cause any major damage.

@@trulynotavailable Just don't say another word about it as that might lead to arguments. Getting a license is proof enough that you can handle yourself
@@holo6883 lol they’ll give a child a license in America and they can ride a hayabusa the next day. License doesn’t mean much.
4:29 OK I live beside a huge highway and everyday at 2 am I just bike after bike after bike roaring
I love bikes!
i have lost a lot of people that i know... but i love motorcycles,Having the fear that i may die too makes me crazy.
One day I’ll have a motorcycle. Been waiting 6 years but can’t swing it financially yet. Love your videos man
I love all the many videos you're throwing out right now
ride in the raining:
*sportive bikes*
I'm so scary of that
The only thing scary here is your grammar
I had a stroke reading this
Inside Freex not everyone has perfect English, so what?
Can you Inglesh?
Haven't even watched this video but I know it's gonna be good
I know there’s a lot of folks here that have the confidence and wherewithal to drive safely… but so did my older brother. This video is the last one in his Motorcycles playlist. He died in a motorcycle accident about two years ago.
I’ve always loved bikes and wanted one, but the danger is just what I don’t know I can get over. I don’t wanna die man, I got so much other shit I wanna do.
Understand your fears and transform them to a healthy respect for motorcycles. Fear causes mistakes, respect will keep you safe. Take the MSF course and your confidence will soar, even if you never ride again it's a great mental booster.
Same, but I guess less than you. My family doesn't want me to have a motorcycle and keeps telling all this stories about that someone that died on a motorcycle, and that one and blå bla bla. They are the ones putting the fear no me, tho I have it to. And that fear can be good, is synonym of precaution.
The beginning of this video made me laugh, my mom actually got me into motorcycles and me and her ride every weekend.
Sunny Catglass that’s so lit
what kinda bike u ride ?
0:26. "Terrifying yet undeniably attractive"
i will take that as a compliment my dear sir
I'm scared of people, what if i kill someone,
2nd I'm afraid of my mindset, I always like to go fast and faster
I'm lookin to get my first bike with no experience and I just gotta say man you have quality content for someone like me. I'm alot less worried about getting on a bike for the first time. Keep up the great work man!
scariest thing is stopping riding your motorcycle, selling your bike, then hearing the new owner broke his back months later and realizing that could of been YOU
3rd season riding, I did a lowside my first minute back in the saddle on brand new rubbers slick from the shop floor. do rapid straight line accelerations/decelerations before leaning the bike. i hurt myself so you didnt have to!
Fact, in Australia it's against the law to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, but you can drink beer on the commercial ,✌️
Waiting for Yammie Noob to turn into Family Feud
Speaking of always wearing riding gear....Had my first and hopefully last motorcycle accident recently over here in Fort Worth. Not too bad. Broke foot in four places. The high quality motorcycle boot save my foot from being shattered, literally.
Riding in the Texas heat understand the urge to not wear gear, but I do not understand not wearing it anyway. You never know when you will need it. My accident was the last thing I expected that day.
I've dropped my beauty bike, like, 8-9 times, but that's just while I'm still beginning to learn. Nothing major, just the stops and turns and BAM! Lean too much or brake out of worry and I'm going down lol. No shame, just practice
Don’t be scared of going on the highway unless you’re on a grom
Groms can go 70mph. not as scary.
Ethan Von Achen It's the size
@@ethanvonachen7711 come off a bike that small an u might aswell say night night lol
@@ethanvonachen7711 I swear they only go like 45-50mph
Im 15 and im getting my first 50cc scooter but as soon as possible im going for that 125cc and/or more
I drop one of my bikes all the time. But it’s a dual sport so it’s par for the course, especially off-road.
My DR650 gets pissed if she doesnt spend some time on the ground with me on top.
Jason R my xr400 is totally different, if she goes down you better pray to all the gods before kicking, flooding is no joke
I never dropped my bike over many many years on the street until I got an adventure bike. Now I have fallen several times in sand. It wasn’t too bad but lately it’s been hurting more and more. Like a bruised ribs and sore shoulders and neck each separate then together. I know that fear was why I fell because when I pushed and didn’t give up I always made it at least most of the time. I don’t want to give up mentally but if I do it’s going to cost me pain.
I’ve been riding for forty plus years and finally dropped my bike in my friend’s driveway the other day at o speed. Felt like a fool but I have learnt a new skill. Panel beating and fairing decorating 😂
imo, the true fear in a bike is pissing of a crazy man... I'm always very calm and indulgent with people making mistake that could have possibly be dangerous for me but I remember, one day (last week) someone was tailgating me during miles on a 80km/h road (I was almost at 90 to try to keep some room but he kept speeding up), I gently wave him to back up a bit, he began to honk at me and made violent hand gestures. A few meters after, I was on an entrance road, he sped up again, and tryed to ram me with the side of his car on the safety barrier. My elbow touched his mirror, I was like 10cm close to the barrier. I just had the time to downshift and escape as fast as possible. Half a second more and he would have killed me. I didn't have time to see his plate, I didn't even remember the car he has (an old gray Renault Scenic I think but I'm not sure). I went to the nearest police station but since my bike doesn't have any scratch, I don't have camera, the road is not filmed and there is no witness , they can't do anything about it. I'm sure this guy lives in my quarter considering the road he took and now I'm scared every time I ride... I'm just a 20 years old girl that rides, I'm not violent and even if I wanted to, I'm sure my hand would break before a mirror (never tryed and I don't want to). The only way I have to protect myself is some not really effective tear gas so the best option I have is to run away... I'd like to feel safe on the road...
When this shit happens, pull over and let them pass, your not alone.

Dirty lube
Been riding over 35years rubber side down. Never dropped a bike (I realize the self-prophecizing jinx I just put on myself).
I must be doing something wrong lol
Been riding for 10 years ever since I was in elementary school but last week had a terrible fall and fractured my toe for the first time, now I'm watching this video to make myself feel better
Thanks. I crashed to a wall on the 4th day of my "ride". That was weeks before the lockdown. Now, I'm a bit better with the motorcycle.
Same thing happened to me bro. I hope you're back at it with your ride!
Recently got into an accident with another noob and his Bike, first thing came into my mind was if my bike is okay.
that beginning clip had me on the floor man 😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful use of Chopin my dawg. It really supplements the squid visuals.
I became obsessed with motorcycles at age 10, my mother promised me one of those small Hondas they had in the 70's when I was 13 - She lied ... so it was not until 1992 before I turned 25 that I bought my first bike with my own money. I was a maniac in my 20's, and in 1994 I had a really major wipe out, but I'm fine today. I'm about to turn 55 this month and a few days ago I bought a new bike, the only different thing is my attitude, I never ride without planning where and how, in which conditions and at which speeds I will go and I set limits ... so, I advise you younger guys to watch these vids that I didn't have back in the early 90's about all kinds of wipe outs that are not just dropping your bike but possibly taking your life or even worse, making you a paraplegic. I don't want to sound like an asshole but I had 2 years of physical therapy when I broke both my legs in 94 and more than half of the guys that were there were from bike accidents, some of them never walked again so DON'T FUCK AROUND!
Hey man, now I got motivation to get a bike when I'm old enough!! I'm now 14, but when I can (think it will be when I'm 19) I will get my license and my first bike!!
My first drop was within my first week of riding, and it just happened to be when I was coming to a stop with a surprise unannounced rider behind me. He was nice and helped apparently it was also his first week riding too. Second time, forgot the kickstand two weeks in :p
