Check out the online Champ U course! There should still be a discount. You have a nice foundation of fundamentals to work with to become an awesome rider on the street or track! And your bike is perfect for the drills and practice.
@UpsideDownBeautiful awesome! I think there is a belief out there that people think, "im too old to start xyz..." You can do most anything at any age. Happy to have you along in the motorcycle community!! 🏍🫶
MC Rider/Canyon Chasers/Moto Jitsu/Doodle on a motorcycle, to name but just a few quality motorcycle and safe riding technique channels;). All great useful channels that have been on RUclips for years. I Hope this helps too! Ride safe! Thank you for what you are doing to continue to learn and to help new riders such as yourself! Continuing success to you and your channel!
How about providing more avenues/channels( no links though;) to help other riders learn how to ride safely. She said she felt there weren’t many channels she was aware of doing that, hence the reason she made her video. I was just trying to help her and her viewers. No “ etiquette breach” intended. Ride safely;)!
I'm buying my first motorcycle this week. Glad I saw this. I have zero riding experience (or maybe just riding a bike to work) on motorcycles, but I am ready to learn. Thank you so much for this video, subscribed :)
@heytgp you are so welcome!! That was my intention with making this, to help at least one person with what I didnt know! I am really glad it helped you. 😊🫶
Hi there Melissa, Good on ya' for getting out there practicing and thinking about the physics part of riding. One tip I might give you is to always cover your clutch and brake. Thank you and safe travels young lady.
@@joyridemel You are going to find one big advantage in regards to motorcycles. When they break down or get "sick" you can just shove it into a stall and not worry about it. LOL
@@joyridemel I was looking at your profile and saw the Ephesians verse. Looked it up. Really good. I hadn’t seen that before. I shared it with the fam.
Nice the Ninja is a great starter bike from what I hear. I am looking into the Ninja 650, which technically is a sport tourer, just because I live in a city and while the Ninja 400 is a nice bike, and a good starter entry to sport bikes, it's just too dangerous to be underpowered, but equally as dangerous to be overpowered with these absolute psychos on the roadways here.
@amanb8698 i will say my experience with the 400 has been good. I can acccerlate decently, but the 650 was too physically heavy for me to maneuver personally. Best of luck to you!! 🫶
@@joyridemel Thanks, question have you ever taken the Ninja 400 on any highways? or do you just keep to local traffic? And no worries, safety and comfort when riding are priority.
@@joyridemel Like I always worry because it can get scary in my city, very aggressive drivers, people that are very impatient and very competitive. Lots of road racers, and road raging. People driving way too fast. Then lots of dummies who will just change lanes without signaling or stopping, they just run through red lights, false stop at stop signs, and fly right through streets to catch lights, rear end you, slam on breaks, race to a light. The entitlement is insane lol
@amanb8698 yes hwy all the time! I have not done it...but supposedly the ninja 400s top out around 125-130mph. Depending on what hwy Im usually doing 70-85mph most days commuting to work!

idk but from where I come from, promoting other peoples' channels isn't proper etiquette.

@@joyridemeloooh no. The ninja 650 tops out at around 132, the 400 is closer to 118. The zx400 does hit 140+ but will take a while to get there
