Hi mate, I like your vids. I'd say you'd benefit from doing something like Advanced motorcycling, IAM for example. Many of your issues are caused by not maintaining a dominant position on the road, so you get bullied around by cars.
Just one comment…. When you turn at junctions you tend to drift left in your lane which is why you keep getting drivers attempting to filter past you in your lane… hold your road position and they will sit behind you. Stay safe.
@@christianweller4288 Thank you for your comment. For example if I’m in position 3 and turning right, stay in position 3? Then when turning left, where should I position myself?
@@Moto-Blue I’d be out in position 4 (out of 5) much more of the time it puts you in a more assertive position. It aligns you with the car driver’s seat and so they tend to see you more as an equal on the road. Plus you can easily transition to filtering when it’s safe. You’re commuting in and out of London , that’s a tough gig likely to expose you to some pretty bad driving. Stay positive. 👍
Hey man, I don't usually comment but when I went to click on subscribe I noticed that you have less than 200 subs at the moment. I've been watching your vids these days and I did not notice this since the quality was pretty good! I like the videos, short, entertaining and to the point, keep it up and good luck! :D
@@steve00alt70 I’ll get my A licence when I’m 21. I bought the bike because I found that everything about it was what I wanted. The history is also pretty cool. I may get a different bike at 21, perhaps a DRZ650 or something that I don’t even know exists yet.
@@whatsmine7848 The horn is so quiet, but the exhaust is very loud (the camera microphone makes it sound quieter as it’s probably something to do with automatically regulating the volume). I mix between the horn and revving but prefer to rev. The horn can also annoy people, whereas to me, the exhaust is more of a friendly reminder.
@@Moto-Blue I know what you mean about the horn, I ride a Piaggio MP3 and the horn is comical, as for the revving it depends on the person some are ok with it others find it aggressive but the same could be said about the horn, anyway be safe, keep riding.
@@whatsmine7848 Legally I should use the horn, but I have a single cylinder 400cc with no baffle (I have to wear earplugs). I assume the Piaggio is significantly quieter. If you can’t hear me rev, then the horn is useless. I also need to get used to using the horn as it requires me to move my hand. In general, louder means more dominant/respected such as with lions or with a lorry horn. Therefore it should be more beneficial to be as loud as possible. Ride safe yourself and I hope you record.

Never understand how the person who pulls out on someone can be mad, especially when they pull out on a bike makes no sense.
@@lostgps3005 something I won’t understand either
Just one of those human beings who can't take responsibility for anything and blame others.

@@douglasm9788 Thank you for your comment. I want to do a course and have looked at them in the past. Just got to book one and get on with it!

@@christianweller4288 Thank you, I will try that. How do you stop people going on the inside if you’re so far to the right?
Hi mate, can I include this in a future video, please? I will credit it to you and link to your channel. Thank you
@@UKMotoClips No problem!

Why rev the bike surely it’s better just to sound the horn
