"Now I've passed my driving license, let's learn how to drive" -said everyone haha
Said by everyone that are from the U.S.*
In the rest of the world we actually learn how to drive our bikes and cars, and it takes more than 20min to have our license lol.
@@estebanod good for you? Don’t believe anyone asked lol

there is nothing wrong with that I do it all the time it smoothes out the ride.

@@Spartansrule118 yes

Oh the memories! Trying to hit your turn signal and beeping at complete strangers! Stalling when the light turns green with a car behind you! Losing your balance at slow speed and having to catch the bike! The emotional scars that we all carry. Lol. You did a great job flying solo.
@Amin wait fr?
@@taviooo3995 It was reported that in a turn he went wide and off the road (maybe going too fast for his beginning/developing skills?) and fatally hit something. ☹️
The price of "freedom".
That you can buy and legally ride a motorcycle only from completing msf courses is so extremely different from other countries, especially european countries where the requirements for getting a motorcycle license is very very significantly higher. In Sweden it usually takes months of practice lessons, theory tests, safety lessons, low speed maneuvering tests, high speed maneuvering tests, motorcycle safety tests etc, to get a motorcycle license while in the US, a complete beginner could legally hop on a Hayabusa after a weekend of msf. It's insane.
But that's why people who first ride a motorcycle in the US, like this guy in the video, most are beginners and really aren't that good at riding at all. Because the requirements aren't that high. They have only gotten through what is needed to pass the test. This differs a lot from other countries where riders get their license several tens of hours after practicing. By the time they have gotten their license, they have already gotten decent at riding. In Europe, if you need to put your foot down while going at low speeds like 2-3 mph, you have failed the test. It's generally difficult to pass the test and get your license, but that ensures that those who are out on the road have all gone through that.
@@jmw8403Isn’t it a small world sometimes, because I actually have family in Göteborg. Is Liseburg still a lot of fun? Lol But, yes it’s comically sad how easy it is in the United States and get a temporary “provisional license” (no road test required yet) and take a Hayabusa for a fast ride. 🤦♂️ *big whoop that no passengers or night time riding allowed yet with provisional… and I remember reading about ten years ago, that the US has like over twenty something times the amount of single rider accidents (with no other vehicles involved) compared to the next highest country in the world. Sadly, even though it blows my mind, it’s not hard for me to believe.
@@jmw8403 what your sayings in Europe, is almost identical here in Malaysia…i started with a moped 110cc, which i stall a lot (dad’s bike)…and getting a motorcycle license, you gotta ride in the school compound for hours before the final test exam. Wrong foot drop, you failed.
110cc for years, then change to KLX150 for almost 2 years…and now almost 3 years on an MT07…watching this video, stall on the first gear multiple of times…man, i hope he gets home safe…
I love when people show what an actual beginning feels like. Yes you stall, yes you might wobble. But you eventually don’t if you practice and stick to it. I crashed day 1 on my dual sport and almost gave up riding all together. So glad I didn’t.
I would definitely have someone drive it for me, as I did. :)
I drove the bike around garage under apartment building for a week to get confidence.
Also my first actual street ride as overnight when traffic is almost none, and I was struggling. And the day after, I drove during the day, driving was better and I stalled "only" 5 times in a row at one intersection :D
Agreed with you man. I crashed 8 miles of owning my bike years ago. You get better in time.
@@17thMidnight I thought riding in the woods was the safe thing to do and crashed on the trail. Got thrown out of a corner. What I quickly learned was how much fun and easier riding on the street was. So I sold and got a Ducati Scrambler and the rest is history. Love it. And It’s got a low seat height so I can toss it in corners
I also crashed day one on my dual sport 😂 going to fast from asphalt to dirt
I held opinions for myself before I actually started riding but being on bikes for few weeks now (suzuki sv650 as first bike) I gotta say you really have to be a tool to ever crash by your own fault.
You’re a hero for showing what a true beginner’s experience is like. I used to ride dirt bikes as a teenager now I’m working on my motorcycle license at age 30. Super nervous to stall everywhere for the first hour lol
Im 24 and im working on my driver license funny to say i have motorcycle money but no motorcycle license or driver license lmao. But hey 9 to 5 jobs is what you do. Single no kids sht lmao!
I stalled so much when I got my first street bike. I’ve been on clutch fourwheelers and dirtbikes and my life and I still stalled at every light
@@Brandenuzis yeah, I learned you have to pull the clutch in when at a light or you'll stall lol. Took me a minute. Haven't ridden since I was 7 lol.
He should’ve towed his bike home with how bad he was as a rider. Riding on the street in traffic is suicidal if you don’t even know how to properly shift gears.
He should have towed the bike home and just gone up and down his street or something. This is madness to watch.
This brought a smile to my face man. All the mistakes. Takes me back. We’ve all been there. I’m sure you look back at this video now and can smile too. Good stuff. Plus starting on a 650 is no joke
I felt the same, feels like yesterday i was still stalling at every stop
He died bro, in a motorcycle accident
@@lonevenom no way, source?
I swear a few of my friends and cousin bought a R1 as their first bike. They are dumb they buy it because of the R1 popularity
When I purchased my first motorcycle, I got it from a dealership 30 mins from my house. It tools me 2 hours to get home. I stalled out a bunch, ran out of gas, pushed it 2 miles to the nearest gas station then continued my journey of stalling out. It was a fun experience LOL
This grown man going 36 mph already in 5th gear is adorable :’) I remember my first few weeks like it was yesterday. I’m surprised he didn’t get pissed at himself after stalling so many times while recording, I sure did 😂
I was laughing at that. Man was going 40 in 6th gear lmao
the bike was brand new and needs to be broken in if you look the gear indicator flashes telling him to shift for the break in period.
@@Triggz636 Nobody obeys the break in period. Mindful, yes. But nonetheless I definitely wasnt hating on buddy, we all started somewhere
@@MrBrOsAp69 the guy sadly passed away in a tragic accident few months back. 😔
@@mannyblackstar shit
I was taught by my father. You gonna start in first gear 20 miles per hour 2nd gear; 30 miles per hour 3rd gear; 40 miles per hour 4th gear; 50 miles per hour 5th gear; 60 miles per hour 6 gear. Do the same in downshifting to slow down or stop. Rest in Peace Dad; Im driving theses highways on your behalf.
Wrong. It depends entirely on the bike. You have to listen to the engine. The engine noise will tell you when to shift gears.
That’s a good fundamental rule for beginners,every bike is different but I believe the idea is solid💯💯
It's all about your rpm not your mph💀
@@kenl.3298its both
That’s o.k for just beginning but other then that it’s not a solid method because bikes are so different and it’s about listening to the bike and the rpm’s that let you know when to shift.
Just wanted to come out and say I shed tears watching just the first 2 mins of this one. Nothing like finally having what you've been working for and dreaming about for however long. Nothing is more rewarding than that. Been riding for 9 years. From home to school and now to work or wherever. Always took it for granted. Stay safe out there brother. I realize this video is already from a year ago. Hope you're doing well.
@Going North to my knowledge he was in an accident awhile back and passed away. very sad
@@traceyhall7119 Damn
That horn honk before he goes on the main road for the first time. I was dying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how did this make you cry?
@@traceyhall7119 Why do you write such bullshit like this?
How would you know? are you friends in the real life?
4:23 I laughed so hard at the horn press instead of the signal. Respect to you for being able to basically teach yourself how to ride and make sure you can get home safe, instead of just being dumb by heading straight home without trying to get comfortable with your first bike.
Edit: Found out AFTER I commented that he passed already, this was my first video of his in my recommendations, and I wasn't expected that news about him..
He's dead bro.
@@apexfenix9623 yeah i know i found that out RIGHT after i commented unfortunately.. i shouldve came to edit my comment here afterwards thats mb.. i didnt know yet sorry bro. everyone gets this vid in their recommendations and then goes to see his newest vid to see how far he's coming, which is exactly what i did, and then everyone finds out that hes dead and comments about it on THAT video. seriously, a lot of people are commenting on his "newest" vid about how sad it is what happened and that they expected to see someone who got better at riding and instead found out that they didn't even make it there. 😞
hahaha first time coming home with my bike I stalled when parking because I forgot to put it on neutral, there was people watching me because I live in front of a bank and because my bike is very pretty, I remember I was so nervous I wanted to use the horn to call my mom who was inside the house, instead of pressing the horn button I pressed the ignition, knowing that wasnt the horn, instead of pressing it now I messed up again and I turned the signal hahaha so embarrassed because I knew people was staring at me, maybe they didnt know I messed up but to me it felt as if they knew I was a noob xD
@@yulitub1838 I did u-turns in the parking lot of the dealer and when I went to pull off onto the main road I stalled immediately, started back up, stalled and just rolled to the nearest entry to a gas station pathetically. was smooth after that but I know the feeling
@@leeonardodienfield402 xD
Have to give you credit for this. I took my course and got my license last month and just bought my first bike. I had a totally different outlook. I had it delivered and have been practicing on local streets and parking lots. I would have never thought to drive home 35 miles if I stalled three times in the parking lot. Awesome.
I drove mine to my gf's house an hour away the first night i got it.
85 rebel 250.
No issue BUT i did drive stick shift cars for years so shifting is not a new concept by any means.
Did my course, bought a bike off facebook, drive it home 30km through downtown is was loads of fun and terrifying. First time I road a bike outside a parking lot
You should feel proud to be this safe. This guy died on this motorcycle only a few months after taking this first ride.
@@dougdouglass6126 Damm rip
@@dougdouglass6126really???
Nice job! Great practice with the friction zone! Try this: when stopping behind cars at red lights, stop your bike directly behind the side mirror of the car in front. That way if someone does not stop behind you, you have room to thread between the cars to avoid getting rear ended and possibly crushed between 2 cars. Have fun!!
Thanks! That's a great tip. I'll definitely start doing that.
sound advice
Good advice, but unfortunately he's no more. He passed away in an accident last month 😢
@@melvinmathew220 I'm sorry to hear this. My condolences.
@@melvinmathew220 wait really? what happened? that is so tragic :/
bro you did great. when i got my first bike out on the road i stalled in the middle of a busy intersection and all i could remember was my instructor going 'they dont realize you dont know how to operate your machine properly. theyll just hit you. be prepared'
So ture
Man that the truest shiiiiid i ever heard👊
So true I had to screen shot lmao.
Same, except mine was a kickstart so I just waved everyone past me and apologised to the people who had to wait at the red light for the second time 😂😂
i love noticing when he starts getting more confidence and starts accelerating faster
Had my bike delivered from the dealer to my house. Started doing laps around my neighbourhood before I hit the main roads. You've got more guts than me, so good work!
Don't you get any road practice before getting your driver's license in America?? I'm so confused by this video and all the comments.
You dont need a license to buy from a dealership/facebook and such. You could get road practice, but eh. You do need a licence to ride on the road, but I seen a few people who just dirty ride it (riding illegally)
@@chessgains8075 I didn't have to get any road practice. It may be different for me since I already had my drivers license, then got a motorcycle endorsement after I took the basic riding course. I don't know the procedure for someone who has no license.
@@ktmmatt7243 damn that's crazy. It's totally different in Sweden where I live.
@@chessgains8075 Probably safer there
Congratulations. I think you did fine and will only get better. Took guts to put your first ride online.
More guts than I had. I loaded my first bike in a truck and carried it home from the dealer. Stared at it for 2 days before I got up the nerve to take it out on the street. The confidence comes quickly, though.
This gave me confidence going to do the same when I get my first bike
Yes. I really appreciated this video. Thank you.
@@terpdx The dealership Im going to is located by a major road, no side roads. When I get mine its either going on my uncle's truck or my brother is riding it my place.

Respect for posting this, every great rider has humble beginnings. As easy and as natural riding feels now, I still remember that first ride home and how scary it felt.
Cherish those first couple years of riding.

@@pinokio3785 wow that's so sad:( I was just watching the video because of the joy it brought me but seeing this hurt...
As a new rider this is everything to me. Seeing someone else where I am, it's honestly empowering, knowing that someone else makes the same mistakes that I do brings a smile to my face and just makes me wanna go out and ride.
We all made these mistakes carry on with great safety in mind and we can just laugh about them after on :)
Stay humble though. This guy unfortunately was killed on this very bike 6 months ago. Really sad 😞

@@anirudhs299 Yeah... he took a corner too fast and fatally hit something. I was really shocked too. Hits home especially when his older videos were about family and stuff :/
@@hisride where did you find out? That’s so sad to hear if it’s true. He’s left a great legacy of inspiration for new riders with these videos nonetheless. We all make these silly mistakes when we first start and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. It was both terrifying, and one of the most liberating things ive done. I made all the same mistakes, yet once i arrived home and just admired the new bike i just purchased, and the proud feeling of knowing i'd just rode all the way home by myself, nothing else mattered...

Sadly he died riding little over a month ago. ☹️
@@SpecterSeventy2 are you serious???
@@Winningsince95 Unfortunately yes. Supposedly he crashed going wide in a turn and hit something that ultimately proved fatal for him. It sounds very much like it happened because he entered a turn with too much speed for his still newly developing riding skills. Very sad.

It looks like OP died in a motorbike accident meanwhile... Maybe we should take that as a warning and never think, driving is too easy. Having respect of it and drive safely.
Man this brings back memories of that terrifying first ride home! Mine was done in the rain on a busy traffic evening 🤣 I could have waited to ride on a clearer day but I was too excited to wait any longer. I'll never forget it though, truly a defining moment in my history
Going to get my first bike this evening. Praise god I have a trailer to tow it home on! 😂
The Z650 was the first vehicle I owned. It was an absolute pleasure to ride and gave me some amazing memories over the 7000 miles I owned it for. That slick gearbox, the damn near bullet proof engine, the legendary Kawasaki build quality, and that low down torque.. the only slight mods I added were frame sliders, fork protectors, radiator guard, a taller windshield, and the Kawasaki High (+30mm) Comfort seat. This motorcycle taught me everything I know about riding. Enjoy it, and safe riding!
Dude everyone in comments sats he passed. RIP 😢
I remember the ride after buying my first bike. Only had to ride about two city miles but my heart was still beating out of my chest the whole way. Respect for posting this video, mistakes and all.
Nice job, I'm a new rider also about 6 weeks now! Still get the butterflies every time just before I ride. You're a brave soul riding from the dealership, keep it up!!
I passed my motorcycle safety class and received my endorsement some time ago. I have been nervous to actually go an purchase my first bike. During the class I made many of the same mistakes you bravely recorded for us to see. Watching videos of people giving advice, riding, and training are helpful, but watching a video of someone at my skill level who makes exactly the same mistakes as me is encouraging. I've needed the boost in courage to brave beeping at strangers in traffic and stalling at stop signs. Your video is just as helpful as the most skilled tutorials. Thank you.
You got this mate.
Tully passed away a few months after getting this motorcycle 😢
Buy a used dirt bike. Best way to learn unless you have someone that can take the bike to a safe location for you to learn in
I have a question, do they lend you a bike while you’re taking the classes or do you have to bring your own? I’ve been wanting to get a motorcycle license but I don’t know how to get started.
@@jaredespinosa1567 They lend you one for training. You don't need to own one. The ones they have are for training only.
The easiest way to start is to go to a Harley store in your area and see if they offer training :)
This video was more exhilarating than watching other motorcycle POV's. I rode only for 6 months but this made me relive the few months after getting my motorcycle license haha. Definitely made me remember all the same mistakes too haha.
This warms my heart. Fresh from safety school and testing the clutch play like it's the first few minutes of training class.
This brings back a lot of memories of my first ride!
But the truth that breaks your heart is that he passed away in an accident

Really cool of you to put ego aside and show the first moments like this. Every single one of us was in the same situation you were in at the beginning.

I've been riding for 44 years, off road street, road racing, adventure touring, cruising around on big baggers and just enjoying being on two wheels and the freedom it brings. Enjoy the journey and welcome to the best addiction I can think of.

It always makes me smile when a new rider finally understands getting out of first. Lord knows myself and most riders out there have so many embarrassing moments like stalling in traffic or stalling at a stop sign with a long line. Proud of you for putting this out there. It may have been two years ago, but it takes guts to put this out and keep it up! I hope your journey will continue to be long and fruitful!

Adding yet another support comment for uploading this. Each and every rider has been here and it's truly fun to watch it first hand through someone else. That mix of excitement and fear is unforgettable. And that first somewhat smooth start and up through the gears successfully puts a huge smile on your face. Coming up on 2 years of riding and still have much to learn.
Loved the horns, brought up a few suppressed awkward memories for me, haha.
"The mix of excitement and fear is unforgettable."
This comment nails it lol also a first time rider
I got my first dirt bike when I was 5. I love watching videos like this because this is one aspect of motorcycling that I never experienced.
Seems so stressful to be on public streets trying to figure all this out, but you did good. Welcome to the motorcycling world!
Same here, been riding since i was 4. But even then the jump to the road a couple months ago was really scary, albeit it was on a sketchy 125 that has a hard time above 30.
Dude has some balls to hop on the road like this. You can almost feel the nerves and excitement in the video, the way he comes off the bars when he puts it in neutral. You can just tell how he's feeling.

After riding a motorcycle for more than 12 years, after watching this video i finally think my greatest moments in riding is when i started how to actually learn how to drive my bike. The amount of times i stalled at 1st gear, the miss shifts, the way my brand new bike smelled when i first started it, the adrenaline i felt even just by starting it for the first time and finally how the wind felt when i actually rode it. I can never bring that back but this video is the closest thing i can get to remember those days. Thank you man. Ride safe!
Videos like this don't remind me of any personal anecdotes, they remind me of how flawed the american system in regards to obtaining a drivers license is.
It's ridiculous that this person got a drivers license at this skill level. If you can't even manage to leave the parking area without stalling, you shouldn't be allowed on public roads whatsoever.
This flawed system literally cost this man his life. Sure, he might have killed himself even after a proper training, but that training would have certainly minimised the risk.
@@Liphzzy creator of this video died in a wreck. there really does need to be some regulation around this stuff.
Seeing someone else fumble the turn signals makes me feel better about fudging it. Got my bike Friday last week (it's Monday now) and stalled it at the first light. Then hit the horn when I went to cancel my indicator. Then stalled it again at the next light. Good job to all of you new riders! We're all gonna make it mate. All of us.
I have been riding for a decade and I still can’t hit the turn signals correctly 100% of the time.
I stayed for the whole ride! There was something infinitely peaceful about that whole cruise on such a beautiful day.
Reminded me of myself about a month ago, and my first ride home after I bought my 2019 Kawasaki Z650. I can only imagine the nervous anxiety you most of been feeling!! And how proud you were when you made it home!!
So I’m doing the same thing.. how do you like the bike?
Congrats on the new ride! You're more brave than me. I bought mine the day after passing MSF and the dealer delivered it home for me 😅. Enjoy!
Totally get that! After my MSF course I bought a Scooter and had the dealer deliver it home for me 😂 Riding the scooter on the street for the last couple months gave me enough confidence on a bike to make the journey home from the dealership. Ride safe!
Ooooh now I see, I was like this dude has fn guts lol. Good job i had mine delivered cuz I drove myself to go get it and it was like 60 miles away in l.a traffic , I said nah I'm not putting myself thru that lol
@@tullyrankin haha I pretty much followed the same path! Had a Honda Metropolitan for a couple years before I upgraded to my first ‘real’ motorcycle today! Had the exact same experience as you lmao
@@maiboi92 He passed away a few months back sadly😢
You just gave me all the confidence man! I’m about to pick my first bike tomorrow and ride it home. First time on a bike since msf course also. Not as far but does have a lot of traffic. Great video!
sorry to kill your confidence but he died
How was it and how far have you progressed?
I mean. This guy is dead. Take your confidence and throw it out the window.
Ride Safe bro.
This guy died
Man I really love this community, so wholesome and accepting. Cant wait to get my own bike when I turn 18
The rawness of learning a new life skill. Much respect!
Just watched this guy after going out on my bike for the first time. Was as nervous as me but instantly got confidence while on the road.
Be careful man.. know your limits. He died 4 months after this video.
I am a beginer myself and having the the same difficulties. But this video is telling me that, everyone goes through the same challenges at the beginning. It gives me confident!
It shouldn't give you confidence. He died in a crash a few months after this video was made. He can be seen riding very fast in his other videos, and far above his skill level. Do NOT get confident from that. In fact do not ever get overconfident or complacent on a motorcyle. That can get you killed. RIP to him.
@@WRjockeyYeah it’s a real shame, I started off on the road last year on a duke 200 and currently ride a cbr500r, in which I will move to a 600+ in 2 years time.
I hope his channel is a reminder to many new riders to not exceed your skill level… starting off small on the road was the best decision I ever made as I did have an accident I recovered from quickly
Congratulations. You never forget the first ride home. Those precious first moments, that have you smiling from ear to ear. I so happy for you. Stay safe and have fun.
❤️🙏 kind
Thanks for keeping it real and showing all the mistakes a beginner rider would make - I'm taking bike lessons now and I'm already humbled at how technical riding a bike is
This makes me feel so much more relaxed about getting mine, seeing you push through your mistakes made me smile big time!
I'm seeing many comments praising this kid for this video. I want to throw my two cents in, especially after hearing that he tragically passed away in a bike accident recently.
This is not what a new bike owner should be doing or aspiring to. As a new rider, the safe option when buying a new bike is to either have the bike delivered, or rent/borrow a truck and bring it home yourself. Once you get it home, practice on side roads or in a parking lot, for a lot longer than he did in this video. Doesn't matter if you took a course, riding on a live road with a new bike is different. Taking a 35 mile drive home as a first time rider is not a good idea and is a huge risk. Makes me think this kid was always a bit of a risk taker. It's terrible that he passed away, but this video is not something to aspire to. Ride safe, don't take risks.
While I do agree with your advice to encourage others to have their bike delivered if they don’t feel comfortable, it is up to each individual rider to please trust your own judgment. Definitely better to be safe than sorry though.
Maybe you shouldn’t pass judgements or make assumptions about his skill level or if he was a risk taker or not. You didn’t know him so please don’t make those kind of judgements, feels like a dishonor to his memory.
@@royalxjade6064 As I said before, I am only inferring based on this video. If he was still alive, this still wouldn't be a smart move and I would've said the same thing. I'm not trying to dishonor his memory, I am trying to turn this video into a positive teaching moment which is more of an honor than most people can pass along.
Like I said it's a tragedy, no two ways about it.
Really appreciate what you did! You are that kid in my head who is full of energy and positivity, who wants to walk up to my fresh-new, first motorcycle, wearing all new gear, and even an action cam, to record the excitement. Mad respect
he passed away unfortunately
@@robertle7156How?
16:35 dude this is like the first and only bike video ive seen on all of youtube that actually has his mirrors set up properly.
Those things have a HUGE field of view.
I'm really glad you practiced before heading back home! Great job and congratulations on your new motorcycle!
This video is very inspiring. Thank you for it. I am a beginner, too, and watching only expert advice sometimes gets intimidating. Videos like yours give me hope. All the best! 🤝💪
I feel like I'm one of the only lucky one's who learned to ride before I took the MSF course. Made taking the MSF course a breeze because I was already 6 months into riding and my slow speed skills only improved after that weekend. This was very brave! I was able to learn because my mom put the motorcycle registration under her name, so I was able to still ride and learn with my M1 (she's been riding her whole life). Then she transferred the bike to me once I received my M2. I learned to ride while fiddling around my neighbourhood and driving around the same block for thirty minutes. I'm sure my neighbours hated me hahaha. I was brave enough to hit the actual streets after about 30 minutes and haven't had any major issues since! Seeing how much more confident you were by the end of the ride shows just how easy riding can be! I truly wish I learned to ride when I was younger but I'm also glad to have become a mature and aware driver before hopping on something so dangerous. I try to tell all of my non-rider friends how easy it is, in hopes of encouraging them to learn as well. Nothing beats this hobby man! Keep it up :)
Oh my, this is so nostalgic to watch. I had my Ninja 650 KRT in Japan last year, road home was also about the same distance. Was scary as hell, since it was my first ride on moto in the city too, and we don't have broad roads like this to practice... My sincere respect for recording this on your first ride! 650s are amazing as a first bikes, this engine very forgiving on newbie mistakes, yet really fun to ride after you get used to it, I am still scared to push throttle to full on first gear, lol.
Wish you nice rides bro!
This video put a big smile on my face in the best way.
Take it really steady at first. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security in your first few years of riding.
Also, I'm sure you've gotten a lot better since late March, but just a few words of advice from someone with 10+ years of riding experience:
Don't shift gears whilst in the middle of a turn (@4:48); It's a recipe for disaster.
When you're coming to the stop at an intersection or light, don't pre-shift down to 1st gear 100+ ft before you come to a full stop, if you ever need to take an evasive maneuver, you want to be able to return throttle to that rear wheel which might not be something you can do without your bike putting you in serious risk coming from an average road velocity. Instead, shift down steadily as your speed decreases to what gear you would normally be in for that range of speed. Once you've got some decent experience under your belt, learn how to rev-match to engine brake on your downshifts (it takes a while to learn, but it gives you a massive amount of control over your motorcycle).
Also, it's a pretty good idea when coming to a stop at a red light or intersection to keep your bike in first gear with the clutch held in instead of plopping it directly into neutral. Keep it in first until the car coming to a stop behind you actually comes to a full stop. The reason being is that people get rear-ended in cars because drivers don't pay attention, imagine how much less likely they are to notice you on a bike. If you ever get sketched out as to whether or not someone is going to stop in time, you can always release your clutch a bit, give it some throttle and use an escape path out of the line of danger.
I'm really beyond happy for you and can't wait to see future uploads and your progression as a motorcyclist.
Be safe out there, mate!
He sadly passed away on the bike. Apparently he went wide on a little too sharp turn too fast and you know...
Thanks for the tips tho..
@@parko9880 Oh no! F#@*!
This was heartbreaking to read.
Please ride within your limits, guys.
Stay safe out there.
I learned to rev match on the second time ever riding because downshifting feels very unsmooth without doing it
@@parko9880 where did u see this?
@@mwdaros Look at the comments from the last couple of videos he uploaded in July. In there is someone who knew him - they confirmed it.
RIP man. This vid inspired me so much before I started riding and then gave me the courage to film my first time riding. Thanks Tully. Much love ❤️
Rip? Is he dead??
@@ricardoaldana3477 yeah check it out the comments on his latest vid and some on his Instagram. So sad
@@benjismoto2235 dang man thats really sad, RIP
@@benjismoto2235 wtf thats sad
It’s so good to see someone showing every mistake they make, so many people don’t give light to the fact everybody makes mistakes, everybody stalls, everybody will drop their bike. Nobody’s perfect
And you owned it with a learning mentality!!!!
Props…..This guy is brave!! I also bought a bike right after completing the motorcycle safety course but I didn’t have the guts to ride it home. I got a buddy to help transport it home on his trailer. Then I spent a week riding around the block at 1:00 in the morning when there was absolutely no traffic. Then I graduated myself to take it on some back roads until I felt confident enough on it to go out and enjoy riding freely.
Same lol.
same
I remember the first time I rode my first bike the nerves and excitment was unreal I live in the uk so all the roads are a nightmare.
@@Deno_7_ I ride all year round except when it snows, am used to our weather you need to avoid the painted lines and grates alot tho because it rains nearly everyday except in summer from where I am from.
My condolences
just bought my first bike and seeing other people learning and making mistakes helps so much with my own anxiety, thank you for sharing
me too i sucked today i just got my permit 😂
I give you alot of respect for posting the whole ride, mistakes and all. I'm new to riding myself and forget that we all have to start somewhere, Congrats on the new bike it looks great, ride safe and have fun!!
The accidental horn honk hit me so hard. Love this. I went through the same thing a year and a half ago
Dude.. This is exactly what I did with my manual transmission car. The dealer showed me how to drive it a bit in the parking lot before I bought it... Then away I went.. lived in Georgia at the time. Lots of hills to my house, lots of stalling. Still, no matter how long you've been driving it or riding it, stalling is just another part of life. Good on ya mate.
I have 3 years riding and I'm obviously still a beginner, but it's really nice to see someone riding for "first" time and taking things slowly and respectfully. I think if you don't get overconfident as others, you'll be a good rider.
Take courses and watch videos about safety riding and you will be good! Happy riding!!
PD: don't decelerate with first gear, you can lose traction. Always brake first with rear brake then immediately after front brake, you will be slowing down with a more stable bike
Not everybody, is a biker.. and Not everybody is for the 2 wheels Maschines able.. to ride a bike,.. is Not driving lessons with a teacher... u have the feeling...or Not so easy is that...
@@danielpreiner3882 Didn't understand anything you commented mate, sorry
@Scripteaze For real??
@Scripteaze Nah man I prefer to not see those kinds of things, have seen a lot already.
What a sad new....That's why I comment these things to novices, because every day you hear those news...Damn
You're three years in. Give yourself some more credit, you aren't a beginner anymore.
This takes me back when I purchased my first motorcycle as well. All the mistakes makes you a better rider mate . Just follow the safety rules and you will be fine. Happy riding!!
He passed away a few months back in a motorcycle accident 😢
Im not mad at this at all and nor should anyone else be. He recorded and posted a real ass video of his first ride. Mess ups and all. Good for this guy.
Pulls into his garage - sits on couch - *googles Z650 accessories*
Congrats man. I did the same thing when I got my first bike. Drove it off the lot and into a parking lot to practice before getting the nerve to drive it home.
My very first ride I tried to make a tight turn out of the driveway with my feet up, stalled it and slowly, hilariously, fell over with the bike as it stopped dead and tipped over. Embarrassing as hell and a perfect intro to motorcycles. Respect for uploading your experience :)
Driving home for the first time on a bike from the dealership, I'll never forget the nervous wreck I was! good job on the road!
Tully passed away when riding his kawasaki a few weeks ago, went too wide on a turn and got off the road :((
Congrats on the bike! Nice ride, and beautiful scenery in the distance. Looks like you have a really nice place to ride. As an experienced rider, my only advice is, expect other drivers to do the unexpected. Ride safe, and have fun!
unfortunately he passed away from a fatal crash, may he rest in peace
@@hafertr1235 Oh, damn, that's a shame. Yes, may he rest in peace.
Ah man this brings back fond memories, massive props for uploading this man, I wish the internet was less pretending to be perfect and more accepting being flawed or inexperienced
Absolutely love this video with all the mistakes in it and being able to loom back learn from your mistakes and laughing years from now at how bad you were! Mad respect
The guy passed away not long after this video in the twisties. From time to time I end up here.. The algorithm however has boosted this video lately. Be safe ❤
Rode my z650 from the dealer over the weekend and I can totally relate. That's a great road to get back home from the dealership. I was scared lol. Multiple stalls, figuring out the downshifts, braking, the jolts of the first gear, and the struggle to get the bike over to my garage cause it's a little uphill. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had a GoPro with me when I picked it up. Ride Safe!
Actually if it takes THAT much focus on those things, then quite honestly you should not be riding that bike home from the dealership. Many ppl may not be aware, but most dealers can DELIVER a bike to you for a very small fee. That is a great option for newer riders. Btw, in case you didn't realize, Tully died in a single vehicle crash about 3 months after he got this bike. Went off the road on a corner of the Angeles Crest highway. Sadly he made a huge mistake that cost him his life. RIP.
@@WRjockey I start wondering how much the MSF actually teaches you? Here in Norway i have had about 22 hours of paid lessons, spread on track, the road and some courses on the "lots". How deep does the MSF go? Oh also getting my license next week!
@@InsaneZealotry I don't know how deep the MSF course goes (never took one), but from the comments I see from newer riders, I have my doubts that it's very good. I was riding offroad for years before I ever rode on the street. I had to pass a written and on-cycle test to get my license, but that was it. Many thousands of road miles under my belt now. [btw, I am not suggesting that the U.S. system for getting a m/c license is great. Clearly it isn't.] Anyway, enjoy your riding & be safe! 👍
I'm looking to purchase my first motorcycle tomorrow aside from a Honda Ruckus and I am so glad I saw this video. Makes me feel more comfortable knowing I'm not the only one who is extremely cautious when riding a new bike. Props to this guy for showing the full experience!
Awesome....getting my first bike tomorrow. Besides the MSF course I have no experience. I'm nervous and excited!! Good luck to you...what bike did you purchase?
This was me a few weeks ago as well. I was so nervous, scared, but also excited to be out on the road for the first time. I had took my msf course 3 days prior. I was honestly taking it as safe as i could, especially here in LA, its just traffic everywhere, so it made me more nervous. I was just letting everyone pass by, going no more than 35, not rushing any lights/intersections, etc...i think i would of been a bit more calm with traffic this light lol
I love how this guy not just record a motovlog but he record his first experience on a motorbike you can see in this video that hes getting more and more confident in his motorbike
What i love the most is the dedication it took to buy a GoPro and attach it to your helmet before even buying the bike just so all could witness this moment. Cheers man!
He passed away a year ago from a crash.
@@乕and?
@@Skatebetter Just saying the video your commenting on is of a dead RUclipsr.
@@乕and your point is?
I recently started riding 2 months ago and seeing that he died so recently made me feel so utterly terrible. Because seeing the same mistakes I made with my own bike in his video, felt really personal. I hope anyone else who just got into riding is riding safe and within their limits.
Idk how to explain but most riders have this feeling. Try to become one with the bike, like its your extension, don't ride it like it rules you, ride it like YOU rule it. I see many new bikers POV vides and i can tell they are anxious just by looking at their hands movements. Also if you are new to bikes and you know that its gonna be hard learning, don't go watch these beginners bikes videos that recommend MT 07's and R6's better start with an 125 duke (bike i started) or something you know you can handle.
How did he die
@@ded1771 They say he went off the road on a curve, on the Angeles Crest highway. No cars involved.
This is awesome! I had the exact same experience driving home from the dealership. Took the learner's course which massively helped in terms of riding confidently. Watching this makes me want to hop on my bike but I'm not ready for nighttime riding yet. The bike looks dope!
He passed away a few months back in a motorcycle accident 😢
@@marshmallow7640 no wayy
Here to give this guy support riding a new bike 35 miles just getting his msf recording the whole thing even his mistakes and hitting those speeds this guys going places

Rest in peace brother, I hope you get to ride in your next life.
I love to see you get more comfortable on it as the video goes on. noticing your takeoffs getting wayyy better and feeling ok shifting to neutral at lights

This guy is dead?
@@Majesticali24 he isn't
I happened upon this video and looks just like my first ride from the dealership. I got my new ride on 7-1-2022
(Harley Davidson Freewheeler 2022) and had a 30 mile ride home. Nervous and a little scared I managed to get it home safely and been on it almost everyday getting some seat time in before my MSF class. You're the MAN! Good job!
Nice to see you figuring out the friction zone before hitting the road. Once you're comfortable with the friction zone (all bikes are different) then you won't stall.
Great job buddy, keep practicing
He's dead, no jokes. You can go to his most recent video (10 months ago) and you'll see all the comments, seems like he was involved in some sort of brutal crash.
Massive respect! I just picked up the z400 last week and just passed the MSF course lol I drove it home 50 miles away. Not gonna lie I had a few moments where I was like oh shit! But dude that’s awesome!
other comments say he passed away
@@igotauzi I just saw that after I posted that comment 🤦🏻
My 2nd bike was a Kawasaki KZ650D that was a rocket! Regularly cruised up and down I-95 & US-1 between VA Beach, DC area & SE Pennsylvania putting 10K miles per year on it in the mid-90s. Fork bag, 3/4 fairing, soft foam hand grips, $12 clamp cruise control, tank bag, double touring seats, saddle bags and top case. Traveled the entire East Coast over 2 weeks motocamping in pre-GPS, credit card era. Top 4 vacations ever! Regularly kept up with 85 MPH, left lane, passing traffic; only took it up to 100 MPH one time just to see what it was like. Great bike. Now have a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 shaft drive and a Yamaha BWs 125 Zuma. Best of both worlds! My first motorcycle was in Las Vegas. Riding around the SW is awesome! Enjoy it! Give yourself a treat and ride between Apex, NE of Las Vegas up to Rachel, NV. Stunning.
