I want all of you to become SMART Riders and this training will help guide you there. If you don't need the training, but you have a friend that doesn't ride, go ahead and give them the coupon 😁.
I find it interesting that many people who work for the state think they are everybody else's baby sitter, (and even master/boss today).
But why did you take a tax payer funded job instead of producing more than you consume, (Yes, it is immoral to consume more than you produce.)? Because you needed a baby sitter. They take care of you well with other peoples money made by consensual trade, (free enterprise, what is left of it).
Sorry. I am tired of the baby sitters, especially when they can't make their own profit like a helpless child. You are going to take my hard earned money, get padded with a pension, and be our baby sitter. Really.
Oh yes, the yellow safety jackets are for safety. Ours, not the wearers. They are dangerous people. stay away from them. Thanks for the visibility.
Reject the baby sitter. :)
Yeah, I know this vid is four years old, but is riding with a tinted visor in low light conditions also stupid mistake? Very informative vids on your channel, though. I've watched quite a few lately.
PPE: Don't dress for the ride, dress for the slide!
@gemini232003 that's great advice.
Now if only the Karens would heed it.
If it's good for motorcycle drivers, then it's good for car & truck drivers too. Anyone on the road can get into an accident, and it only takes one accident to change your life. Just do it car drivers, helmet & protective clothing or you don't drive.
@G B and those that want to have a greater chance of survival
Nah Why live that way? Far far fewer injuries would also be the case when driving a car if we all wore gear and helmets?
Sure I have a great helmet, gloves jacket riding pants, and I do wear them a lot, but other times I don't. If one thinks it is sooo dangerous why ride a bike at all. And yes I have been in accidents both bike and car...and hang glider. To live is to die, can't have one without the other.
saved my life even though still got messed up ATGATT for real make sure its the proper size you might think better than nothing but too large or small wont protect the same as proper fitted gear.
Riding a bike is 50% anticipation, 30% self-preservation, 20% skill/experience... In my experience... Thinking ahead will keep you alive.
MCRIDER and MotoJitsu
So it's not 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name.
Walter Pfannschmidt you’re so right, I would even say more anticipation than 50%. Stay ahead of the bike and you’ll be okay.
@@jesselunceford498 I was just about to write that.
they always said its the hit you don't see coming that will knock you down.
The protection gear advice is important for EACH and EVERY motorbike, even and especially the small ones. I've seen so many people riding a 50 ccm bike with just shorts and flip flops, it gives me the shivers. I've been working on an ambulance for about 5 years and believe me: you don't want to take a dive at 35 mph with no protection gear. Sweat is better than blood.
Got my first bike today. Little nervous wish me luck
Kino good luck
@@kennethmathurin8244 thank you very much. Also where i live the roads are very narrow and curvy so i have to be EXTRA skilled
Being a little nervous is good. As a matter of fact, anyone who rides, regardless of skill and experience level, needs to be a little nervous -- always. That's what keeps you on your toes, and what keeps you on your toes is what keeps you alive.
That said, go have fun. With a little luck, your new bike is just the first of many.
@@ericynot 👍right on, thank you very much! Yeah I want to get comfortable but not too comfortable. Vigilance is always a plus. I'm getting more and more comfortable everytime I ride. My back break doesn't work but other than that I'm getting a good feel for my bike. *OPEN ROAD BABY!*
@@KinobambinoI'm glad you're getting more comfortable, but, Dude, don't ride a bike with a brake defect. Just don't. Bad idea. Riding a bike with a mechanical deficit is an invitation to disaster.
If you get into an emergency situation and only your front brake is working, when you have to stop fast, your bike is going to swap ends and you're likely to be fucked.
I always wear my gear...I’d rather sweat than bleed!!!
I would pin 📌 this comment.
A friend asked me why I was wearing a leather riding jacket in 90 degree weather. My reply was........Its nice and cool in the emergency room!
@@stevesherrell9487 Good response. I love my gear, no matter the temp.
Helmet boots and gloves are the most important pieces of gear.. Comin from someones that crashed a lot of bikes. Armour riding pants and jacket is secondary. Armour pants for me but jacket is optional. Helmet mandatory!
@@nonyabiz9487 absolutely!!!
Good tips. I've been riding for decades and see the same silly mistakes people make. Personally I bring my feet up immediately upon leaving and practice balance when stopping by keeping my feet on the pegs as long as possible. Riding is a learned behavior, the good part is you get to choose which behavior you want to reinforce.
An important one that I never seem to hear about is checking your rear view mirrors when slowing down, stopping or turning, in 50 years of riding, I can't count how many times I've had to miss a turn or even go through a light to avoid getting run over by a careless driver.
I agree. In addition to that, when stopping behind another vehicle at an intersection, leave some room between you and the vehicle in front of you. This gives you some room to move in case of that car coming in hot behind you. I leave at least 20 feet.
When I was 20 or so (41 years ago) I commuted a short distance to work on a 1976 Kawasaki KZ400. We weren’t required to wear a helmets in California back then. I was slowing down for a red light just about stopped. When I heard the deepest screeching sound directly behind me. I knew for certain whatever was ahead in that intersection might or might not kill me. However, what was approaching from behind would definitely kill me. I rolled the throttle on as hard as I could and went through the intersection blind. There’s an old saying about god watching out for fools. He definitely did that day. I pulled over untouched if not a bit soiled to see what almost killed me. A large commercial stake bed truck was past the limit line sitting sideways in the intersection. It was the strangest feeling in my life. I felt as though I passed through a point in time I wasn’t supposed to survive. I’ll never forget that incident or sound. Two things happened. Began wearing a helmet and better protective clothing. Also, began using my rearview mirrors religiously.
Please remember that if wearing gear is hot, you will sweat. Stay hydrated, maintain your electrolytes too. Be aware of heat stress and heat stroke. Have fun, stay cool
BTW, I'm a ferret, NOT a rat
And a very cute ferret you are! ❤🙂
Better a rat than a weasel 😉
Nice rat
Knew a guy who died that way. Took out the riders behind him too..
heat will mess with your cognitive abilities.
I started riding about 4-5 months ago and I have been riding nearly every day since, with full gear. I've gotten really good with shifting, braking, and turning. I have never dropped my bike or had any accidents because I was very cautious. Now, the past few days I started wearing less gear and have been taking more risks(speeding, quick lane-changing) because it was so fun. As a result of that I have had way more close calls in the past few days than I did in all the months I've been riding. I was getting cocky without even realizing it. This video, and many other of your videos, has reminded me to put my full gear back on and to ride like my life depends on it because it does. Thank you
You’ve just gotten comfortable. How’s riding been going ?
@Nonya Bigness It's been going great, thank you for asking. The bike is still standing! I'm always in full gear when I ride. I get the occasional driver that pulls out in front of me or cuts me off, but I'm always able to easily prevent any accidents. It's still just as fun as ever though!
Congrats on becoming a motorcyclist. Best thing you can do if you’re getting aggressive on the street is sign up for a trackday if there is one near you. There’s no rush, take the beginner class listen to the instructors. You’ll thank yourself. Be good and ride safe.
So let me get this right, In the USA you can just buy a bike any bike and start riding? No training/tests needed etc?
Thank you for your comment, i couldn't describe better my situation now.
The difference is that I'm finding myself in this condition now, last week i begun riding cocky and didn't even realise it, while the first 4 month of riding gone smooth because i was super careful.
Always remember to pay attention and my life depends on it!
Ride safe!
Add riding while strung out on caffeine pills to number one there my friend. LMAO.
He said how do I start this thing again 🤣
I got my m1 2 years ago but only bought my bike a month ago. I've had to re-learn everything with so much time in between and your videos have helped me so much. I feel confident and competent in my riding abilities thanks to you, so thank you and keep up the great work!
New rule! Dont talk with your hands while riding lol,
Neva
i often tell people that talk with their hands, I 'll cut your hands off and you wont be able to talk.
I told him that too. One pesky ground hog will take you out in a minute, pothole, road garbage.
You see that in so many motovlogs, it's a terrible example for noobs. Bugs the crap out of me
thanks for pointing that out
I myself have seen others do that not just D
I've been riding on the roads of life for 40 of my 56 years on earth. I still watched and enjoyed your video. Very good tips and I appreciate what you do for new riders! Semper Ride, Gunny J. OUT!
Good video. I would add a couple o' things for our friends who are beginners; take it slow and easy as you're learning your bike; i.e. it takes time for even experienced riders to get accustomed to a new bike's handling characteristics. That's why it's not a bad idea on your first couple of rides to stick to local roads you know. Constantly recite and practice everything you learned in your training course (PLEASE take a training course). By doing so, you create and reinforce good habits that will become engrained in you and will keep you safe. As you get more comfortable, NEVER let your guard down. It is possible to actually enjoy riding while thinking and acting as if every driver on the road is dangerous moron who could kill you. It's what you don't anticipate that you should guard against that can quite literally kill you as well; e.g. riding to the right rear of a car which is travelling in the left lane can create a perfect blind spot to on coming traffic seeking to make a left turn across your lanes, even though you're back far enough where said driver up and over in the left lane can see you in his side mirror. He's NOT THE PROBLEM. It's the driver trying to turn across your lanes who could kill you. NEVER assume the motorist looking to turn across your lanes will do so safely. ALWAYS watch cross traffic at intersections because the one time you don't check, you could be killed by an idiot running a red light or stop sign. Whenever you are passing traffic on a road with two or more lanes in one direction, NEVER assume that Mr. Moron in the car near you knows you're there. Loud pipes are a bonus because a good crack of the throttle can let them know where you are, but then again, some of these drivers are so brain dead they don't even notice. NEVER ASSUME...
Great pointers to keep in mind and to adhere too.
Excellent explanation 👍
I've been riding for 40 years- I put 10 percent on my riding skills and 10 percent of my gear and 80 PERCENT OF MY TRUST IN GOD THAT HE WILL KEEP ME SAFE.
Tip of the day..dont ride on wet paint.
Rain on road lines make them slippery as snot on a drinking glass.
Ryan Ewbank or fresh cut grass that the landscaping guy just blew onto the street.
Tar snakes. Tar snakes are very slippery when wet. They're slippery when dry too..
U guys have the wrong tires. Sorry, just sayin.
Ryan, I hope you see this. Your statement is so true. Thanks for posting.
Snot on a drinking glass? You’re from Texas, right?
I know I purposely slowed down the video to get a single frame of the foot after the wreck but I instantly regretted that decision
Lol
I hade to see if anyone else made the same mistake I did 🤢🤮
Daniel Perricone III someone posted it and I paused played paused played really fast and it was not pretty
Welp i never gonna forget that those toes
Colin Boyd same
Heyyyy I’m in Arizona too! Been watching a ton of “beginners” videos going to get my motorcycle endorsement this month. I’m 36 and feel like I’m late to the party but super excited to learn! Beautiful Arizona morning
Dunning Kruger is real! Have my bike for two weeks and feel like I'm ready for an upgrade. I'm committed to one year before upgrading after watching this video. Thank you!
Here’s one. How about staying in first gear at red lights instead of coming to neutral and looking all around and on your phone. This allows for a quick escape in case someone is about to rear end you.
It’s a good idea.. but that’s not cool for your throw out bearing .... and personally Idk if I wanna get rear ended or shoot out into cross traffic ... tossup for me
Actually being on neutral saved me. Got hit from behind while waiting stationary on the red light. Neutral allowed the bike to slide ahead with almost no wobbling. Not sure it would move so easy if I was on first. Think about ur neck wipplashed if u get rear ended on first
Here is another tip...When you're at the red ligt,take a position on the left or right side of your lane instead of the middle. So if a car can't stop in time,the chances are greater they will pass you without hitting you.
@@bogdanabazovska9228 being in first gear and looking in your mirrors instead of trying to be cool may have prevented you from being rear ended in the first place.
30 year rider. I always find neutral before a stop. 2 reasons, on a harley it can be difficult to find neutral once you're fully stopped (brand shortcoming), and if i need to take my left hand off the bar quickly for any reason, I'm already in neutral. I always stop to the side of a lane, so I have an exit if necessary, and I watch my mirrors like a hawk so if something comes up on me I can get out of the way with a quickness. YMMV.
Best bit of advice I ever got from an advanced riding course I did here in the UK was to assume that every other road user is out to get you. Rise defensively, and assume every one else is drunk / stupid / not paying attention etc. Sounds a bit harsh to think that way, but its worked for me so far! Second good advice was to wear PPE on every journey, no matter how short the trip, and no matter what the weather (which over hear can change in minutes!).
There is a strong safety ethic in the UK and mainland Europe which I admire.
#8 Riding distracted while making videos for RUclips.
No kidding. Do as a say, not as I do ...
Took a spill 3 days ago on my first ride and I'm grateful I can still walk. I shoulda gauged my skills way better, glad I found your videos. Lots of great tips and tricks in these.
Oh no, glad you’re okay! Are you still riding now?
I just got my bike today! You're the man. Your videos could not have at all prepared me for the reality of riding, but they helped tremendously.
As a medic in the army for 16 years, I have seen what happens to flesh when " that one brainiac " does not want to wear all his PPE cause its hot. And there is no difference in the effect, whether its a car strike, or bullet strike !!! You will still be FUBAR. I just got my first bike ( yamaha 300 ) and wearing all the gear sucks, but its better to be sweaty, as apposed to bloody.
Just got my first bike a month ago, here's to the new generation!
I refuse to take advice from a guy that listens to R&B
I’ve still not purchased my own motorcycle yet, but I do ride my brothers bike on occasion and when I do, I wear no less than my helmet, leather riding jacket, boots, pants and gloves. No matter what.
@@invictusr6gamingchannel749 hey smart guy. First off i did not give advice, i made a statement !!! And im sorry if the only thing you got from that was my music preference. But fah-q just the same !
@@travisholstine6046 Wise choice. I had a crash at about 50 km/h where I hit the fender of a car with my knee. The fender had a substancial dent and the headlight was destroyed. The pants were cut open at the knee. Later I found shards of glass in the knee protector. I walked with a limp for a day. With regular jeans that would not have gone that well. I still can´t really believe how well that gear protected me.
Thank you for all of your videos and sharing your knowledge. I will be getting my license and first bike next week, nervous and excited at the same time. All of your posts have been a big help in preparation for real life riding.
Didnt see any comment on that quick flash of the skinned foot picture. That was brutal. Ik this videos old im gonna be getting my first bike been watching alot of you and yammy noob trying to learn before i hop on. Pretty nervous but watching you two has given me at least a little confidence that ill be able to keep myself safe on the roads full of crazy people. You the man dan.
The edit of you running across the train just made my morning 100x better lmao
lololol
To avoid getting caught at night with a dark visor I looked for a helmet that had a transition visor. My shoei rfsr is well worth the upgrade from my hjc. Good video sir thank you
Thanks dude for reinforcing a number of things I learned in my motorcycle class.
I’ve been riding small and big bike for only 6 short years. I never get complacent and always stay vigilant while enjoying my ride. Always enjoy helpful tips. Thank you.
I love your videos, you have been so helpful and have also helped me with my mental state
This really helped me out thanks alot
Just got my first motorcycle (2020 CSC SG250) got my permit and watching all of your videos so I stay alive. Thanks for the content!
Thanks for the advice. Been riding for years and watching your channel. Just got a cb1000 from a friend. Always good to be safe.
Hahaha good video. Love your energy man. Just replaced an absolutely bald rear tyre. Can't believe the exact same new one has a tread which is about 6mm deep. No wonder it was unstable. I ride a small bike 70% off road 30% on road 5 hours a day as a job. I like to have a larger bike as a commuter but had a break for about 3 years (tip: if you want a cheap commuter, just buy a cheap commuter. Don't waste 3 years working part time on a 'project', especially something old and rare) and when I returned to commuting on a mid range bike I was alarmed how dangerous applying my work riding technique to street riding was. Too much rear brake. I had to relearn that and it was interesting. Showed me that you apply different techniques to different bikes and situations. Get to know your bike. I don't have a problem getting off my work bike and getting straight on to my commuter and changing my riding style, but those first few weeks were interesting and very humbling. Stumbled across your video looking for something else. I have been riding for a long time, but I still learned some stuff or at least was reminded to think about it. I live in the same region as Mick Doohan and I remember him saying in a safety video that was recorded just after he retired that he was still working on his skills and still learning. I really liked that because anybody who really enjoys riding bikes does just that; keep trying to do that thing better. If you're concentrating on image, you're concentrating on the wrong thing and totally missing the point of this activity. If anybody reads this who is thinking of getting into bikes, don't think that you need a huge bike. Great if you're going to go riding every weekend and highly recommended in that case but if you're just going to use it getting around the streets get something light and agile. There are so many fantastic options out there now.
Rule 8: Don't mess with your phone while riding! LOL Good video. What I tell everyone that is starting to ride is "Ride like you are invisible"
I'm a new rider and your videos have been a great source for me. Thanks for your hard work.
I used to ride as a Teenager to early 20’s. Long story short I sold it to buy a ring 5 years ago. I definitely broke a few of these rules, mainly PPE and the whole overconfidence thing.
I have a bike again now and I definitely have a much better mindset for safety than I used to. Listen closely, young people. I’m lucky I wasn’t seriously hurt.
The warning about looking at intersections made me think of a principle. The fact that it was the other guys fault doesn't undo the pain you feel.
Don't know if you mentioned this on any video's or not, but one huge thing that's saved my life more times than i can count is, drive, or rather ride, like you're invisible and nobody see's you! Cause more than anything they probably don't!
Good stuff, keep making videos this will definitely improve my riding.
40 years of riding and I rode once with some flip flops on and after about 3 minutes, I learned everything I needed to know about not doing that!
When I bought my 1st bike I wore shorts & my left side of my right leg got 3rd degree burns from the exhaust
Who the hell wears flip flops, ever??
@@greenidguy9292 people who go, I dunno, like to the beach, lake, pool, boat, etc.
3:19 super quick flash of a mangled foot. wtf.
That is not mangled... That is Mauled... By what looks like to be angry Asphalt.
Yeah. I was determined to see what it was. I regret it.
@@kevinfitts9252 Yep.
You're right Bob. That was an extremely nasty injury.
Was hard to track down that millisecond frame at 3:19 (used 25% speed while clicking play/pause multiple hits)
@@Jeff82556 many miss clicks to get to view it...man...that cant be unseen. subliminal message approved.
You’re awesome. Simple easy to follow and understand. Personality is great!
Thanks!
Dude! I'm watching this on 2020. Great advice, great video.
I’d recommend getting a helmet with a flip down internal tinted visor and a clear shield
My cheap solution to this is rolling with a tinted visor and keeping a pair of clear safety glasses in my bag for night.
@@jseden those with prescription glasses have less choice there 😆
dude love your channel and uploads. not yet riding my self,but saving up so i can change that and your vids give the best advice.
Your funny bro !! And good info !! Subscribed 🤙
Great info buddy. I know some friends that needs this info. Thanks again.
new rider here, just found your channel....THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP GOING
Thanks for speaking like my brain. I enjoyed the video, subscribed.

Great tips @dandanthefireman. Another common mistake I see which isn't specific to beginners is not maintaining the chain. Super simple to do and super important
Respect for the “conjunction junction” reference!
Just an idea... I keep a clear visor on my dual sport helmet (MX-9 Adventure) at all times, but keep a pair of tinted goggles in my backpack. When it’s sunny, I can rock just the goggles for more airflow, or flip the visor down over them.
I do the oposite. I use sun glasses at day with a clear helmet visor
Thanks for the great content. As a new rider, I think I learned a bunch from your videos
Thanks for the video. Been riding for 15 years with a few years of gap in between not owning a bike or riding so technically 9 years of consistent seasonal riding. I took an msf course and took motorcycle riding test in 2 states. I always try to improve my riding skills. Even with the experience i have just recently another RUclipsr put a video on cornering. I knew i needed to watch this because i always got nervous in the tight curves and noticed it on a group ride. So now im not nervous last ride i did with my buddy i owned the turns. Still fear and respect them but now instead staying the same speed like my friend or others in a group ride i slow down to make the turn then speed up after the turn. This is actually basic MSF training. Nice you mentioned helmits just recently replaced my helmet i bought 7 years ago.i like the modulour helmits because they have tinted visers in them. The new is same brand like my old one and even is Bluetooth ready. I got it cheaper than my old one. I do alot of Harley guys leaving their foot down when making a turn more than standerd ir sport bike riders.
Did anyone else try and see the flickering pic when he was talking about ribbing your toes off in sandals? Lol
You can see it if you put the playback speed at .25x by hitting the 3 dots at the top right. I would not recommend it. It's pretty disgusting
Brian Bennett The bottom of that guy’s foot kinda looks like ground beef don’t it?
Rabid Rabbit anybody up for burgers?
@@RealRabidRabbit I would say so 🤢
@@brianbennett6949 Thanks for that tidbit on how to watch slomo :)
I’m a psychologist and have a few colleagues that are walking definitions of the Donning Kruger effect. It’s great to hear it here. Great video... Going for the MST course later this month to get permit.
That's cool man. You will enjoy riding I'm sure.
Ho Lee Fuk ... The problem now is that I want to wear my helmet everywhere!
@@alejandroleguizamo7722 lol the helmet do look pretty cool.
First bike at age 56, yesterday! Not counting dirt bikes which I haven't ridden since age of 15! 03 Volusia, 12k mi, super clean, super nice ride! Stopping at lights and stop signs bringing it home was a bit embarrassing but, I gritted my teeth and made it home, red faced!lol!
I only have a tinted visor for my helmet, but I keep a pair of safety glasses in my tankbag at all times. I drive(ride) to work early in the morning, so I pretty much wear them every day I ride to work.
Thanks for the great content. As an older rider, I try to keep all of these tips in mind anyhow, but reminders as to WHY are always beneficial.
10:58 "Motorcycle tires are ridiculously overpriced." I also thought that was true until I watched Fortnine's Tire Comparison video and began to understand the complexity of the engineering that goes into an average motorcycle tire compared to the average car tire. A good motorcycle tire in 2019 is actually an impressive piece of technology, and worth the money it costs.
The're designed way different then car tires.
@@FonixFire Of course. Cars don't lean into corners,for one thing. It's not just the profile,it's how they're built internally.
You earned a like at “conjunction junction” 😂
As an experienced motorcycle user since the age of 13 ( 1975) inroad and offroad, i find it best to simply obey the rules of the road and limitations of yourself and the motorcycle. Many accidents occur because of excessive velocity and/or outright showing off to other people.
Safe acceleration is in a straight line, not on a bend/curve. Keep a space to your left and right , front and rear of the motorcycle gives you reaction time to any situation. Use both brakes to stop the motorcycle and it's better if your motorcycle has anti lock braking !
This Video was so Awesome thank you so much for sharing this has really helped me 👏🏽
Great video, would like to see you address riding in drivers blind spot. Am a rider in Texas and I see this all the time, either pass the car or stay behind enough to be safe if they change lanes.
Great advice for a newbie looking to get his wheels. Love how animated your delivery is even with a covered face. Reminds me of Dead Pool in your personality. Ace.
Good wisdom, thanks for sharing buddy!!!
An easier explanation for the Dunning Kruger effect is "the more you know, the more you realise you still have a lot more to learn" and its obvious inverse truth which might be stated as "The less you know, the less realization you have of what you don't know"
Thanks Dan your the man.
"Fireman".........did I say Dan?
I drive better drunk? Lol Wish I had a $1 for every time e heard that!
Great video and very important advice. Thank you.
What I dig about being a rider or biker or whatever the current name for it is is that let's say I stop at a light and another rider stops next to me, he'll say "hi" and/or "hey nice bike" and sometimes you do a fist bump, it's like there's this solidarity even among bikers who've never even met. With my car, when driving all I get is maniacs giving me the finger cutting me off and honking etc...with bikers it's just a diff world.
Hey, great video! Just wondering, what bike are you riding, and what gear? I didn't see a link to that, just curious, because I want to buy an adventure type helmet for my Honda Shadow (scorpion AT-950) and I feel less crazy knowing you do that too lmao. I just dig the look. Thanks man! Be safe!
Shoei Hornet X2 helmet and the 2018 Honda Rebel 500. I used to link alot but stopped
A good tip for cornering is to scan forward to the exit of the turn, you will determine easily if your speed is correct for the turn. Adjust accordingly.
Who could possibly dislike this video? Great info!!!
Lesson one for the thumbnail: there is no backseat driving on a motorcycle. LOL
I called them dumb asses and YT censored me 🤣
I like how you are calling out the truck driver for using his phone while you are making a live recording AKA also talking into a device just like he is...
While riding one handled.
Boom. Truth! Distracting driving at its finest here! Apparently everyone who rides a bike thinks they are invincible
@@kezo7166 I ride motorbikes and drive trucks. Truck drivers are professional drivers. Bikers (not all) are mostly clueless.
not to mention he his reading notes off his phone. Way to go. Rules for thee , not me
Passed my theory test yesterday! Cant wait to get out on the road.
CONGRATS BRAH!
Have fun and keep the rubber sides down
@@SuperFlyBoy *2 years ago* lmao
Havent crashed yet though ;)
Still haven't crashed?@@jonasholm8062
Great points, mate! Thanks and congrats!
Really CLEAR audio and GREAT content!!! sub'd!
That coffeine pill does make a difference:-)))
Greetings. Can you make a video regarding hand positioning while making a turn. Should the clutch be engaged, etc. thank you.
I’ll help you out. Brake BEFORE the turn but not as you go into it. You stop breaking about 40-50 feet before the turn. Then you lean and as you lean you stay on the throttle to keep the same speed don’t accelerate as you get about 3/4th into the turn roll on the throttle don’t hammer it
Thank you for the video, its great.
You on caffeine was very entertaining! Thanks for the education.
Looking is LRL for you guys
RLR in the UK 😃
I'm left-right left-right whichever country I'm in, it's good to make sure you know what's what.
Jesus, I just managed to stop that hidden frame at 3:19 (took several tries on my phone), but man... Can't unsee it now x_x Jesus...
It took me one try by putting the playback speed at .25 wish I hadn't
Wow it so bad
New sub, great video, excellent content!!
The last part when you talked about tyres, that is so true. The single most important thing to keep you from death or serious injury. "GOOD TYRES" and yes, look before you cross any intersection or traffic light.
Aye!! Shout out to school house rock ... wut u know bout conjunction junction ?👍🤙✌
Whew that bloody foot bro, its rough!
Got my first bike! Thanks for info!
This was incredibly helpful thanks
i got a full-face that's got a fully clear visor, then a neat trick: pull a wheel on the side, tinted visor rolls down
jt wee the future is now, old man
@@scaircrow2599 yeah, I was just thinking 'OK you have a helmet' I was looking for the rest of the story. lol. Anyway, I have this compact box thing, it has two slots in the top. You can put bread in there, press a lever down, wait a minute or two, and holy Fuck if toast doesn't pop out the top. I have no freaking idea where the bread went. Now this guy is trying to tell me a helmet has a pop down sun visor....
I got a high yellow modular from cycle world like that.
Yea, I'm about to take a trip to Manaus, Brazil (and possibly BR-319 several thousand Kilometers on a dirt road through dense rainforest to Porto Velho) starting from NY, and then either back up to Venezuela and east to Guyana, Fr Guyana, Suriname and back into Brazil and south, or BR-319 south to Porto Velho and BR-367 east to São Paulo, then down the Atlantic coast to the Uruguayan border, across to Chile, and up the Pacific Coast back home.
I must've spent $4,000 on equipment and bike upgrades prepping for the trip. I was planning of spending at least $200 for a helmet, but with all the competition on Amazon, you can get an awesome helmet so much cheaper now.
$60 got me a fully modular/full face flip up helmet with drop-down sunshade. Saw same helmet for $180 on a moto-gear site (although everything is overpriced on those sites). When I was looking, it was hard to even find anything over $150, except for a few overpriced brand names with a gimmick like a built in bluetooth headset. The other one I considered was $200, but it was almost identical, besides being .4lbs lighter (4.8 vs 5.2). Helmet fits great, is comfortable, has a much better visor than my previous $120 helmet, and has the full face flip up for hot weather, and down for cold. Plus it is made of a much sturdier plastic than the $120 one I had before- not thicker, but far sturdier.
Boots were most expensive piece of equipment I bought at $278. And I had to buy a new backpedal assembly, as the stock one couldnt be adjusted enough to fit the toe of the boot to shift- but I like the boots, so I figure I might as well upgrade the shifter and the pegs while I'm at it.
I would be laying on the horn if it was me. Everyone is on their phone now.
It's disgusting right
Yeah I know it's wild
you're great talking on a subject by yourself, on the bike. you cab start doing more of those again!
