- 🏍️ Back in the Saddle: Learning to ride a Harley Davidson at Las Vegas Harley-Davidson on the strip.
Matt, a seasoned rider, introduced me to a couple of Softails. The first bike I rode was a Softail Slim and the second was a Softail Standard. Watch as I explore the basics, from light throttle control to cornering, all captured under the vast Nevada sky.
Good Job Man, Keep it up. I'm learning too
Take it easy. Err on the side of caution. Empty parking lot and good crash bar to work on your cornering. Guard your clutch until you get some more experience. Expect no cars to see you. You’ll be a good rider in no time! 🤙🏽
I totally agree i dropped my on hidden black ice in colorado being from california boy i was upset then a almost parking lot crash which cause me to drop mine on my foot and a year later while parked a hit and run while parked on my street which i had to pay a hefty deductible to get it repaired.
I learned how to ride on an electraglide 1984.
Watching this gives me anxiety cause I’ve never ridden but want to
This definitely isn’t reality this dude is in his own head. He is shaking his hand in pain after 5 minutes in a parking lot. #1 rule after you under the basics of throttle brake and friction zone is to just commit dont slow down on turns thinking turning your bars too far lands you on the ground. I was having anxiety watching this guy and i ride. He is what i refer to is a foot dragger. Those guys that feel like the need to keep their feet on the ground way too long. Once tou have momentum you are good. No need to drag feet
Doesn't take long to pick it up.
What kind of Harley-Davidson dealer has an instructor? I've never seen that before.
You can take the msf course at any Harley dealership.
Dude never got out of the parking lot!
Better work on your hand strength, you keep shaking off your left hand. Keep that right foot on the pegs, you’re going to break your leg. Yeah take the beginner class again, that would be a great idea. Research Ride like a Pro on YT you will learn a lot 😎
Thanks for the tips!
I'd like to give you an opinion of a person who's been riding 11 years, and I clearly remember my beginner stage.
Don't get the expensive Harley Davidson for your first bike. Everybody drops their first bike. Start off with something fairly inexpensive like a Vstar 950 or something. Spend a season or two getting used to making all of your beginner mistakes on that. Gain the wisdom and knowledge. First bike : The question is not IF you'll drop it. The question is WHEN you'll drop it. IF you're set on a Harley, then a used Iron 1200 should suit your beginner needs. 883's are a little weak IMHO. You'll get used to the 883 too quickly, and the 1200 accelerates better for safer passing.
Then later, when you've had some experience ...get the bigger Harley. Make it your forever bike.
The Iron 883 is an AWESOME bike.
@@kjvbiblebelievertal7431 If you say so.
@@poseidon5003 I know so, LOL.
@@kjvbiblebelievertal7431 It's WEAK and slow.
@@poseidon5003 LOL. That's a matter of opinion. Lot's of power and speed for me, I am in it for the ride, not the speed. If I wanted speed, then I would have bought a racing bike.
Haha..acting like you dont even know how to put a helmet on, while you have videos up of you doing over 100 mph on a sport bike..well played sir...well played
