Can you make a video on shoulder checking and lane changing?

How do you make a right turn w8th out stopping?
Like at a green light
My brother has never felt comfortable performing slow speed turns or U turns. We’ve both in our 60’s and have been riding motorcycles for decades. It’s time he learned the correct technique for performing an invaluable riding skill. Thanks for another informative video! 🏍
wtf
When I got my motorcycle license about 10 years ago I wanted to take a motorcycle safety course. My dad who had a motorcycle years ago but hadn't ridden over a decade thought it would be a fun father/son thing. He didn't really expect to learn anything new (stubborn old 74 year old man who had ridden for years etc.. lol) At the end of the weekend he was surprised at how much he had learned and how much confidence he acquired.
Same here Grant. Started riding in 1977. 65 now and just learning this stuff.
WE'RE NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN
@@bigdaddysshop8180 whoooaa...I've got my first bike now @65 thank you guys I am not too late!!
I wish I had seen this before I took the MSF. All went well, but these tips would have made the learning process much easier.
I have mine in September, I’ll be practicing this stuff Sunday morning at the local park parking lot.
I I just completed my classes today and we did this exercise, keeping the handlebars straight makes it alot more difficult. I wish I seen this also before. We all passed though.. Lol but this would have made it ALOT easier
Exactly!
Glad to see trainng stuff rather than just crashes. Great video!!
I want more of these!
@@sarag1158 he created a whole channel for this called Motorcycle Training Concepts. That channel is all on-bike and this One is for crash reviews.
I just got my first motorcycle. The main issue I have is tight turning from a stop. I went to an open parking lot Saturday and started doing circles and figure 8s. This video is great. I'm going to practice this exercise. Thanks for this video!
I honestly never thought of the tennis ball idea as cones, looks like I'll pick some up for my dog and me.
*cutting tennis balls*
Dog:"WTF?!"
Dan, I just want to thank you for your dedication to making so much content. I just started riding last month and despite having increased awareness from driving for 10 years, snowboarding for 18, years of experience mountain biking, dirt biking when I was younger, and skateboarding, there are still many things I wouldn’t have thought about had I not come across your videos.
Even the MSF course is NOT enough in my opinion!
Today on my way home, I turned onto my street and let my guard down for just a split second only to see a car backing out in front of me. I think the reason I didn’t see them was because they saw me, stopped before I finished turning, and the back end was sticking out almost exactly as much as a car parallel parked would be so it blended in.
Long story short, since they saw me and the car was stopped, I don’t believe I was ever really in any danger in this particular situation, but my first instinct was still to swerve because I PRACTICED my emergency maneuvers A LOT!
It is soooo important to just have it be second nature. Had the driver not been paying attention, there’s still a really good chance I would have been okay.
It was bitter sweet because I should have been tuned in to potential hazards on the street right away after turning, but it was also cool to just experience my instincts kicking in and almost feeling like I just watched my bike and body just do its thing without any effort from my part.
The hardest part of motorcycling to me so far is teaching myself not to take a breather just because I executed a turn safely or got through an intersection unscathed. There are always more hazards ahead to come and there’s never a right time to let your guard down at all.
More of this kind of stuff please, this is super helpful as a new rider!
I really need to commit at least one day to practicing low speed u-turns/figure 8's. I have no excuse, I've been riding for 9 years and there's a church parking lot right behind my house. Thanks for the inspiration DanDan!
I just started riding for about a month now. This is one of the manoeuvres I am having difficulty with. This video has helped me a lot, so, thank you. Time to practice
This is the maneuver that tripped me up in my course and caused me to fail. I don’t think I was understanding what my instructor was trying to tell me at the time but this really helped me understand. I’m definitely going to use this video to help me practice on my bike before I take my class again. Thank you for these videos they make learning how to ride a little less daunting.
These training videos are great. I checked out your progressive braking video a few weeks ago and since then I've been going to a local empty parking lot to practice it over and over.
Gonna go do this and then tune in for your other videos when they're out.
It's awesome that I can tell you have a personal interest in actual helping people, a lot of the other MC vloggers/entertainers/educators are very self absorbed, or pretentious, rude and or full of condemnation for others.
You have done a great job at only condemning the worst of behaviors and not people personally.
"Push the handle bar down" is what I've been missing,
Genuinely, thank you
Hey Dan, loving your channel. Really educational. I live in the Netherlands, and over here we have a three step progress before we are allowed to ride anything above 50cc. The first practical part is exactly this. Before we ever ride in traffic we must learn, and pass an exam, to handle the bike. Braking, tight turning, swerving, usually about 10-15 hours of practice time with an instructor. I really think these cources should be mandatory in more parts of the world. Could really save a lot of lives.
These exercises are so helpful Dan. Keep at it.
About to take my HD rider course. I'm so excited. Thanks so much for all of the videos you put out, brother. Very helpful.
Never really noticed. But boii, thats a beautiful motorcycle!
My save-up bike is probably going to be an Indian. They're gorgeous.
It is indeed a very nice looking bike. That said, Victory and Indian motorcycles are made by Polaris. I'd caution you on buying one as they are not the most reliable bikes and their warranty service reputation is not that great. I know of a few new Indian owners and they took their bikes in for warranty service quite a few times in the bikes first few years even.
Much like a car model, when a manufacturer comes up with a brand new model, I'd suggest you wait a few years before buying that particular vehicle so if there were any major issues, they get worked out.
It's ugly get a turbo busa
What is the model?
@@adisadis6313 that's an FTR
the more i see these excercises the more i realize I used to do all of these when riding my bycicle at 12-13 years old, even the countersteering when I was going fast on my bike. It's kind of beautiful, nobody ever told me (or us) all of these techniques or the physics involved in them, but it came naturally and subconciously when you learn how to ride a bike, it's like the bike becomes an extension of your body, you assume a second form, like a transformer lol, when you hop in on the bike. I'm 33 now and it's been ages since I rode a bike, but now that I purchased my first motorcycle, I hope those skills are still somewhere in my brain ready to be used again in an automatic, subconscious way
I'm 32, want to learn a good cheap but cool bike. What did you buy?
I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. Its weird how similar it can be.
Turning from a stop was my BIGGEST challenge since I’ve started riding, it’s kept me from taking my bike anywhere that was busy and this was the most helpful video ever 😂Thankyou man
Hey Dan. Been watching for a while. I'm just learning to ride for the first time. Thank you for all the great videos and telling us all to put on our gear even for low speed practice. I laid my bike down at slow speed yesterday and jammed up my thumb, but I had on my gloves and everything. I can bet it would have been worse without it 👍
Just started riding. All of the material from MSF booklet, DDFM, and PA motorcycle guide has really boosted my confidence that SEE works. And seeing this instruction on things to practice is going to be helpful to start my riding life!
Thank you for this! I love practicing before riding each time:)
This is super important for those turns into openings into gas stations, parking lots, or even in or out of the drive way. Thank you for this.
it's nice to see you doing this kind of teaching again.
I live these training videos. I pick my very first motorcycle tomorrow. I took the MSF course about a month ago. I so anxious and excited. I will definitely keep watch DDFM training videos.
I remember when this channel only had a few thousand subs. I am happy that youn have grown considerably. More importantly these vids are extremely educational. Love from Seoul
Thank you Dan , we need more videos like this . Please no more about crashing or dramas at the traffic. As new riders is important to learn details and tips to react in a different situations, but is Perfect to be prepared with technical knowledge. And you have those good videos. We really need them. Thanks
Excellent job! Nice drone usage too. Thanks for another great one! ☺
This is so good ! It's one thing to watch a video, but when I watch a video, practice it, then watch it again I can relate to the feeling of the movement and it makes way more sense.
Getting my head turned before I make that sharp left or right is the thing that helps me the most.
Same goes for me
Hey Dan! I've always been interested in getting my own motorcycle, a Harley. I find your channel to know what to look out for. Stay safe!
Watching these videos just hype me up for my next practice. Cause I know have a lot more things to learn
Thanks for the great instructional video! Very helpful technique to learn.
Just bought my first Harley 4 days ago and am really benefitting from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these!!
This is my current goal. Really want to master it, so much.
Man you make it look easy for us to absorb these important points! Thank you for this 🙏
Great teaching, great help to me, thanks!
Thanks Dan
Awesome instructor thank you
Dan, thank you for the videos. Since I’m a new rider I take all your advice to heart.
I always enjoy your skills/tutorial videos Dan👌
Your videos are really awesome. The patience you have in your voice is calming! I failed my riding part of testing today so I have to re take it. Uturn messed me up! I’m watching and practicing and taking it again.
I also failed my test because of being unable to execute a U-turn inside the width of 2 parking spaces. I already have picked up tips from this video that my instructors did not mention - like turning the wheel before you start, pushing the hand grip and counter balancing. Thank you muchly for these tips.
Pro tip right there. Appreciate your help on my journey as a new rider!
Nice video and very helpful advise!
Your videos are helping me out a lot I never been on a bike but I'm planning on getting myself a bike and begin my new chapter in life I've been searching a lot of information in the last 6months I can't wait to learn to ride just wanted to thank you for all your doing
That was amazing video ! It truly was the best on turning. Thank you Dan !👊
Hi Dan
I’m a beginner rider . I’ve always wanted to ride a motorcycle so I’ve decided at 52 screw it im doing it !
I’ve purchased an e motorcycle to start with , it weighs close to 275 lbs. I appreciate the tips and lessons you are giving cause I can definitely apply them to my bike even though it’s an electric bike👍
Thank you for Sharing your Experience & Knowledge with us 👍
Great video. It's been a few months since I was on the saddle and now these skills will be the first thing I practice again.
Thank you and thank you for your service as a firefighter
just got my r3, first bike and a student. this channel helping a lot!!! subbed
Top tips for super smooth control.
Very good instructions and videos!
Thanks for the tips.
Thank you man, I'm new at this and I find this very useful.
Thanks Dan, I’m going to practice that a lot more.
Nice one Dan, excellent advice on U-turns.
Nice tight turns. Great tips. I will diffidently practice this out. Thank you.
Thank you Dan for the slow speed video awesome for newbie like me
Thanks a lot. Just start to learn riding a motorbike. Really helpful tips.
I watched this video twice, trying to pay attention to all the details. Will try it tonight. Thank you for the great video. You explained very well!
Just got my first bike and I am so happy I found your channel!
Thanks Dan.
Big help for me, thanks
Always good advice! Thank you DanDan!
So helpful. Thanks for sharing
Amazing content! Really helpful thank you 😊
Where were you 24 hours ago during my test!! I failed and bawled the whole way home! But… I’m still going to practice and go again!😊
thanks dan,all this home quarantine has dull our skills,the problem is a lack of a space to practice,your video is a very big help👍,rgards from the Philippines.
Great video thank you very much, had a good go of it at a Parking lot earlier on today! Definitely think you can't beat practicing slow riding skills. Many thanks Martin.
Thanks - tomorrow morning EST I will work on this more, and get back to you with my progress -
Great training vid Dan.
Glad i've found this video.. really struggling turning right where im almost had a crash always.. thank you.. Godbless and stay safe...
Thank you Dan
Thanks Dan.. from south Africa
love the creative usage of the drone!
Thanks for your videos. The y are really helping me to enjoy riding. Gracias
Thank you for the video. I find it very helpful.
Having my first 600cc (cbr f4) bike im finding the weight and size increase a little bit of a game changer , especially when riding round roundabouts and taking right angle turns at junctions , definitely going to use this information , thank you !
You are a professional biker
Thanks for sharing this and it’s very helpful for others especially those are new on motorcycles
Look where ya going, look where ya going! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi
Dan
I’m new rider
Thank you very much for everything
I’m learning with you
😅👍
Great stuff Dan. Been asked a few times by others about assisting them with riding. I always recommend a defensive riding course first, and I also take them to a parking lot somewhere. I usually do clutch control, braking, slow speed controls and figure 8s. I didn’t think about upturns. Thanks again Tricky Trev🇦🇺👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍 Keep the shiny side up
Thank you for the tips
Great video. Thanks for the tip
THANKS FOR THE VIDS! Got my first bike 2 weeks ago. I wasn't ready for the slow stuff to be harder than the high speed stuff.
Thanks for the video!
Keep these simple as you do my guy
Thank you so much man, very usuful video
I know you do motorcycle drills but I ride a genuine buddy kick 125 and I have been doing these drills. I am getting so much better but most important, more comfortable. Ty for doing these
Thx Dan.
Love you bro!
The BRC emergency counter steering deillbhas definitely come in handy. I would recommend learning it on every bike you have, of course it's easier to swerve on a Sportbike other than cruiser.
Useful stuff for new riders. Great.
Got driving test on Tuesday this is exactly what I needed thx
Good luck man if you look to youtube you can see others pass the test in your future :)
Ex: georgia motorcycle test
Showed me what to expect. !
This is a great video, this turn has always been a bit of a sticking point for me. Thumbs up!
How many of you here don't own a motorcycle? I was just interested in the physics.
I bet he can spell though
Wish you were In NYC to hold some classes for beginners! Thanks for all the videos! Cheers!
Thanks for the video I haven’t really rode very much in the last couple of years and it’s easy to forget and I actually have a cycle course not being used in my town so practice will be a must
Dan....with myself having 45 years riding experience, it's nice to see you putting out videos to help riders improve their skills, especially newbies. Learning and practicing should never stop for us. The one very important thing I noticed though is you were saying to push DOWN on the handlebar instead of push FORWARD on the handlebar. Pushing down on a handlebar does absolutely nothing (ask Jerry Paladino) and I hope you'll correct that in your video.
He is pushing down to help with counter weighting (pushing body weight to the opposite side)and not for leaning. So it’s OK I think. What Jerry says is about the lean angle. Pushing down does nothing.
Pushing down on the bars when attempting to counter-steer does nothing; agreed. This is a different situation though where the bike is being pushed down while leaning in the opposite side on a very slow manoeuvre. I already use this technique on small mini roundabouts in the UK and it definitely works.
