7:00 I'm almost positive he was trying to turn left, but because there were cars coming in the opposite direction, he had to stop. You can barely see more cars coming when the camera starts to turn towards his face. There's also a double arrow on the road indicating its a turn left or go straight lane.
Also you can see the left indicator is flashing next to the gauges
he was making that left but if you look closely theres a person walking on the other side of the street
I don't that was a legal left turn. No signs or anything
The person in the car says “I didn’t see you” 🫠 in Spanish… so he will have gotten hit either way
I would have slowed down for the pedestrian. 7:23 Even if I had a green light, she stood close to the road.
By the way, this is the only type of accident I have had in the last 30 years riding a bike. I stopped at the stop sign, but the rider behind me did not (learner permit). I stopped at the crossing, but the car did not, pushing me forward (this second time, I did not even fall, no damage). Proper gear even 30C deg. No injuries.
I’m 18 and started riding at 17 on streets and your LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER Dan. Nobody else teaches crash prevention and injury like you do I’m glad I found you early in my riding career.
A driving school does 😅
@@HashMaster1776 I did my MSF two years ago and I stand when I say they won’t teach you this. Dan not only goes over it from a riders POV in depth but also with his paramedic experience. Also I learn better visually when it comes to traffic patterns and injury so Dan is the man.
I'm 42 and have learned a lot from this channel as well. You're never too young or old to learn tips on staying safe. Because no one knows everything.
16:30 good early reaction from the car noticing the speedcruiser and evading it.
It is better to have an idiot in a car in front of you than beside or behind you.
"That's a piece of wood or a baguette" was friggin hilarious!
Right? 😂
I love your work. No matter how many hours I've put into riding, I still watch regularly to keep my perception skills up. Thanks!
16:30 Most props to that car driver. Insane reaction time. I was sure he/she wouldn't even notice that tool biker until he was in front of the car.
7:00… if you notice…the white line on the street curves to the left (the lane biker is in). He was definitely making a left hand turn. That being said, I’m not sure why he came to a complete stop. It didn’t look like there was any oncoming traffic.
100 percent this. I think, hard to tell, there was a pedestrian crossing the street the motorcyclists wanted to enter.
There’s a pedestrian walking thru the intersection viewable in the top left corner of the frame. Dude riding blue Suzuki who got rear ended was making a left turn.
Algorithm bump! Hope your weekend is going well Dan! Hi crew!
The front fender jammed in my front wheel on a vstar 650 with 35k miles. Need to regularly inspect your bike, they ain't like cars where you can just hop on and ride off and never have a problem. That's the day I decided to always ride with full gear
Thanks for the reminder on wearing all the gear.
Assuming no loose fasteners, how does a fender even touch a [front] wheel?
@@terry_willis missing and loose bolts, I bought the bike used and never checked the fender bolts.
You're supposed to regularly inspect your cars too.
@@TheKingsapostle when was the last time you checked the torque of the fender bolts on your car?
Mom's spaghetti.
lol
Palms are sweaty
I thought it at the same time😂
knees weak arms are heavy
19:30 is the Reno/Tahoe area, although not completely sure where. Before I started riding I rented a Civic Type R out there and drove it down towards Sacramento and back. Gorgeous indeed!
This is why I do not like riding with other people, I always found that you can follow each other into mistakes.
I took the Road Guardians Bystander Assistance Program based on Dan's recommendation. It was a very good and informative class, and im signed up for the qdvanced class in October
His palms 🌴 are sweaty 🥵
Mom's spaghetti 🍝😂😂😂
Good catch, my man!
If you enjoy beautiful views, you should drive through Austria. :) we got so many mountain roads.
I ride but was in my car at the time and saw a biker at an intersection wanting to turn, from experience I know dead stop right turns for a bike have a chance of running wide so I was ready for it. Low and behold the biker pulls out and runs wide passing double yellow into my lane and I had to swerve to avoid him. Saved my car and saved his life, he was t shirt/ shorts on a harley.
Just wanted to share and thought it was interesting how motorcycle experience can translate to car driving as well.
Good video. It’s been awhile since I watched bc I felt like you were talking about each incident for too long. This was perfect. Just a few comments and then on to the next crash. 👌🏼
0:35 my mate had this happen to him, lost the muscle in his arm and had to have bits taken from other parts of his body to rebuild it. Looks so weird now cause one arm is really skinny and the other is all muscular.
The mountain view looked like Utah ❤
1:12 there's a cruiser saying he seemingly has a lot of space but doesn't want to lock up the rear brake.
16:30 we have a cruiser that actually IS locking the rear brake.
This is telling me something. It tells me some people are afraid to use the best brake they have, which is the front. And they're willing to put lives at stake because of it.
Also lane splitting: not at such ridiculous speeds. He probably noticed the slowing down traffic too late.
18:13 rider takes his hand off the throttle for some gesturing. In doing so they also remove their hand from the vicinity of the front brake. Which might be useful in just this situation.
3:50 happened to me as well, scarred shit out of me, I've torn the bloody fender away after that. The problem is wrong suspension configuration. Make sure you configure it to suit your weight
I raced bicycles as a kid. I got so used to having to pass tech inspection that it translated well to tclocks on a motorbike. I have to say that the front fender issue was easily known about.
Just got the Bell qualifier deluxe blackout. Comfy helmet, i love that you get d rings for this price.
Dan Dan (TFM), I love that your watching as we are watching. It makes your comments so much more genuine, it's your immediate reaction. Thanks
Love to see your comments on Itchy Boots 2nd last video where she crashed. Particularly the riding in the fog and then the accident.
20:40 … If I saw something like that where I’m no help, I’d keep my eyes forward, stay focused on what’s in front & just turn my head a little to capture on chin-cam to view it later… But, I can’t be on the freeway/highway anyway! 😂 🛵💨
This is why we always look straight ahead
I know that with skiing, 90% of injuries happen in the first year, and I suspect that the same is true for motorcycles? I've heard the statistic thrown around that 90% of motorcycle deaths occur in the first year. Does anyone know if it's true or not?
It is. You will have more close calls and accidents within your first 6 months than you will have for the rest of your life.
Dont want to scare anybody, just be a smart rider, continue watching videos like this, use your gear and slow it down, fortunately most fatal accidents can be prevented.
Lotta good learnin in this video. Hope you get to your 1 million subs Dan you deserve it! (15:00) Cool looking bike anyone know what it is?
Might be a Vento Rocketman Sport 250
@6:54. This is the first time I have observed Dan, not noticing the forward, turn lane the rider was in.
19:30 ish is corner of Goni Rd and College Pkwy in Carson City, NV. Recognized that immediately lol I live in Reno but used to work in Carson and turned there daily. Northern NV can be very pretty! Riding here is amazing. There is actually a dirt trail (Kings Canyon) that goes up that mountain all the way into Lake Tahoe I just rode last weekend that has stunning views of the valley.
Speed differential is the killer in lane splitting
Im a noob when it come to riding, and thank you teaching me not to Target fixate and helping me not get ded when going through intersections👍🤣
There’s a bus on the other side of that intersection Dan 6:03
That's pretty good going considering there are usually about 6 bolts holding your front mudguard on and he didn't notice it coming loose before he left home.
Hey Dan, in addition to progressive braking, what are your thoughts on downshifting and engine braking assist? I'm sure youve discussed at some point but I personally haven't heard much from you on this. Curious as to your thoughts.
Personally, I think downshifting should be taught as safety. Especially for dealing with intersections and need to taper off some speed. Downshifting can help slow down your bike while leaving you in a good power band (especially critical with smaller bikes) should you need to accelerate to avoid collision.
IMO, downshifting is much better than coasting. Even if you expect to come to a full stop, you just never know. Downshifting will make it much safer should the car behind you decide it doesn't want to stop.
At 17:09, the guy uses his rear brake more than the front; that is the way to do it in this situation. It helps make the turn to the right sharper and is more forgiving for slips, like in the video. Having enough speed, the bike will stabilize itself after a few waves. From experience, it is better to have spare underwear afterward.
However, the whole situation is stupid. She is driving high-speed lane splitting, having a mental image in her head, imagining the cars' future position, speed, and movements. It was different from reality; she imagined the car would stay in the lane. You should constantly consider the cars as predators: what could be their stupidest movement that could kill me? And be prepared for that.
I believe the dude who got rear ended was turning left, i think you can see a pedestrian walking across the cross walk on the road he is trying to get on
20 yrold biker here. Been riding mopeds and stuff since I was 13. But A2's are a whole new world. Dan you're propably the reason my close calls haven't resulted in crashes🫡
Hi dan
1:58 I saw this on IG and immediately wondered why they'd chosen to park there - of all places? I asked why would any logical person choose to stop anywhere near a curve and folks roasted me over it. It was all biker douches, but dang... logic just seems to fail these ppl.
people don't have common sense anymore and are douches
Fuck those guys, you're smarter. Don't change.
6:37 if you watch closely, the left indicator is flashing on his dashboard, so he was trying to turn left.
I don't really mind getting cut off, as-long as the car has its' turn signals on :D
At 19:50 it is not Switzerland, because the road is cracked :-)
I am still trying to understand why that guy stopped.
7:00 he was turning left, you see the indicator on the dash.
I use both breaks progressively together. the bikes are racing up to the lane changer on purpose and getting jealous.
Hi Dan ,With the rear end clip , I'm surprised you don't talk more about motion activated rear break helmet lights , like 'Breakfree' ect , Or do you believe they don't make a difference? Cheers
8:16 Drum stick was the thing that flipped up off the road
from the looks of the gauge cluster, that is a yamaha midnight star, and still it's a very very long bike
at that intruder, weight doesn't really transfer towards the front, please keep that in mind, it's a looooong bike!!
Unknown with rear end
ok Stupid Question!!! But how the hell on that red bike, are there so many bolts missing from the front fender, or are so damn loose that the fender catches on the front wheel and goes under it? Do people think that bikes don't vibrate? Or do they think 1 bolt is just fine? It just blows my mind.....
😊7:37 If you look at the car, the B pillar would block the drivers view of the rider if they looked over their shoulder.
7:00 ok Dan somebody sometimes must stahp , mistake or not , as the behind guy you are OBLIGATED to keep distances and watch out... he almost killed him (ok he didnt but he could )
13:09 the Harley rider is a bit of a dick for pulling ahead of someone in their lane, but he didn't seem angry. Just the average Harley rider that thinks he should be in front of any other bike. POV sportbike seemed pretty angry himself.
Not a bit of a dick. Absolute. I would also be angry. Reaction over the top? Perhaps.
7:00 i believe the fellow was slowing down for the traffic on the next block? I dont know, but these roads should have a turning lane. Honestly i'd go around the block or something that intersection is B.A.D
Hey man been watching for years! I’m looking for khaki style pants and am not sure what to look for, do you have any recommendations on those? Thank you!
6:50 I think he stopped for the city bus pulling out from the bus stop
The guy getting rear-ended at ~7:00 looks like he was trying to be courteous to the pedestrian--- which f'd everything up since he's not doing what would be expected, that is proceeding through the green light since the pedestrian is supposed to wait until it's red. See that so many times-- folks trying to be nice just f'g things up since it's not what others expect.
5:04 I know why her hand hurts, why does MY hand hurt?
18:35 just want to another chance, riding with anger issue will never end well. At the end we all just want to get home safely.
I think the guy who was rear ended stopped for traffic ahead (blue bus) just weird perspective with the 360 camera.
7:22 If it's safe to turn across the opposing lanes then it's safe to use them to slow the bike. If the rider's is honest with himself, he won't make that mistake again.
Some tortoises can float. Natures way of helping them during flooding
dan said mom's spaghetti 😂
Around 14:00 the sportbiker was definitely the angry one, but I don't think it's a good idea for someone to pass in your lane. Yeah you should check your mirrors but mostly, you should be looking ahead, and if you drift in your lane position for better visibility you shouldn't have to check your mirrors for a harley coming up to pass you in your own lane. So yeah, it is a big deal bro!
I also stop for turtles and tortoises. The road is not an appropriate place for turtles. If it's a snapping turtle then grab it by the tail. Those turtles are jerks and will definitely scratch you up if you try to pick them up by the sides of the shell. Never had a problem with any other kind though.
Hey dandan i have a few clips you could use. Where can i send them to you i definitely learned from them
Also i watch your videos all the time but just realised I've been un subbed so re subbed now 😊
Possibly he was turning left and a car moved into the center of the exit and he was looking for a safe entry
Poor turtle 🐢 😂
2:07 i hate people who park on blind corners its dangerous i almost went into the back of an Amazon van one time
7:00 naming yourself "hitobkr" (hit o biker?) was just asking for trouble.
hey Dan, ever tried braking on a800 lb cruiser, like a Suzuki C109 classic?? I tried, front brake they are nothing.. compared to the rear brake... clip around 1:40
Physics disagree
@@GaryM-ft7pw looks like you didn't ride a big heavy cruiser i see, even the rear brake can be applied progressively, and is linked to the front brake 😁 in case of c109
Another cruiser rider scared of the front brake.
It doesn't matter why he stopped, look in our mirrors and pump your brake to activate your brake lights. And be prepared to MOVE.
15:30 - 1st gear on the dash
8:10 the wooden pole is thrown out of the window by the driver of the car
I hate most motorcycles in San Diego man that 15 and 5 they fuckin split traffic so irresponsibly at high speeds its not a mystery why its the only state with that no law against it
There's a universal rear-ending rule in Europe. If car B drives behind a car A and B crashes into A, car B is ALWAYS the guildy party. You are legally obliged to keep the safe distance at any circumstances. So in that rear-ending of the bike video, the car is 100% at fault by definition.
Does anyone have any suggestions for lightweight/think riding jackets or shirts that still offer some slide protection?
I wear kevlar jeans with armor inserts, but I haven't been able to find a kevlar jean jacket with or without armor.
I don’t like them myself, but a lot of folks wear a plastic armored vest with a moto hoodie. They do make armored hoodies. Fortnine has a good video on casual riding clothes.
I have a Joe Rocket mesh jacket that's lightweight, decent protection, I did buy a real back protector for it. I ride in SoCal, great summer jacket. I got it at Cycle Gear.
That’s a Peugeot 206 not a Prius
"Stop Standing Next To Blind Corners" or bikers could just ride to their ability and leave their ego at home? Surely that would be easier?
What you said about using the rear brake then all the weight going to the front happened to me on the weekend just gone. I was checking my mirrors and the person in front of me had slowed considerably. I jumped on the rear because I was worried about the front end going. Back wheel locked and stepped out, almost full opposite lock on the bars, just managed to keep it upright but in the words of the great philosopher, Jeremy Clarkson, a "little bit of poo came out" haha. We live and learn. Hopefully.
Dress for the slide, not for the ride. No sympathy for people who don't wear gear.
@20:40
Little girl: someone help my mom 😢
Dan: if someone is inside that car their dead.
Little girl: 🥺
😂
13:30 is definitely small pp energy
7:07 He has happy eyes, probably stopped to show off to the girl?
8:32 lmao
7:15 there is a car coming. I guess he wanted to turn left. You see it pass after he gets hit
Man that left arm is torn up.
09:15 He was watching Ymmie Noob shittalking videos about how to recognize a noob and stalling and how everyone laughs at you when you stall your bike. Ah that Yammie Noob such an awesome and cool dude he said if i stall eveyone is gonna laugh at me. KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB !!
ive realized that 80 percent of my fellow riders have 85 IQ'S
That view looks like Utah. *oops
Slow down and avoid other objects
I hate it when people describe progressive braking like at 1:26... squeeeeezing squeeeeezing squeeeeeeezing... I don't know how many people come off with the impression that you need to do it this slowly, or a couple of seconds at least. It's just a difference of gripping the lever as hard as fast as you can or giving the fork a bit of time to compress before you give it the full beans. Both takes just a blink of an eye, and you don't really have time to make it "progressive". I see it more as two-stage. Grab it and compress the suspension, then full force. If you're on reasonably grippy road, going straight and it's not rainy or something, you'll almost certainly be fine. It would be better to encourage people to brake forcefully, because most don't. Cars have emergency braking assistants for a reason, because analysis of huge amounts of ABS data shows that almost everyone applies full brakes only shortly before impact, when it's too late. Don't faff about. My newest bike has ABS, and almost the only way you can do it wrong is not to brake enough. You're in most cases better off overdoing it than not doing enough.
To be fair, I've only ever ridden supersports or sporttourers. I don't really know how this feels on long-travel off-roaders or adventurers, let alone on what I see as pointless like cruisers or even choppers with too much rake, soft front and tiny fancy-looking brakes and tyres. But on a supersport or supernaked, the firm suspension will keep you from bottoming out and ABS will keep you from slipping or flying over the bars, so when I need to brake, I'm not pussyfooting around.
+1
Knee down or no sub
At 7:31 why to say anything? Why to gesture? It can start road rage, escalation. People drive the way they drive. You cannot teach them to be more careful.
I have the mindset on the road imagining the old computer game when you navigate in space between rick asteroids. Cars are asteroid. No driver, no brain, hecktic. You avoid the collision, there is question about why they do not pay attention, who was right or who was wrong. You avoided the accident, everybody lives, unharmed, go on. If a car wants to change lane you have to yield. It is called the larger mass principle. You do not mess with streetcars, trains even in a car or in a truck. You just yield to the larger mass, it is your life. Highway code... well, it is only nice if they yield to you. I do not want the text “but he was right” on my tombstone.
Insurance scam🤔
Angry harley pft super sport riders always projecting that someone else is angry when they pass em. I'm an adv rider so ill take any terrain. I don't care who leads, a 310gs wasn't made to race stay at a reasonable speed and ill follow, go over 75p buh bye. Buy a bike for how u ride, I'll hit any terrain I see. But I'm a beginner level ride so racing is last thing in my mind. Ive passed a supersport before on the freeway, he hit the traffic i picked my lanes and just rolled by at 70, that person im guessing got pissed cuz he ripped by me well over 120 mph. Half a mile later when i caught up, i was calling an ambulance for him and waving traffic around stsnding on my passenger foot pegs so i was as tell and clear as possible till chp got there, thank the gawds he got there quick n do did the ambulance cuz he out cold, no armor, just helmet tshirt n kackis found him googling the next day. 1000rr rider crashes(rider in critical condition after crashing on dangerous bike at excessive speeds) fukin papers. Dude seemed offended by either getting slowed to 55 by traffic or getting passed by a rider going 75 but considering he went over 3 lanes to be in mine when passing instead of passing in the empty lane that was on my left which woulda been safer than passing on my right before switching to the empty lane to avoid merging the. I've actually been told by SS to get a 'real bike' and 'how can you have fun on a bike that slow' and the "i wouldnt be caught dead" Ilive near a jc and university so other thing i hear often from squids that immediately gets me concerned for their safety is "this is my first bike" and it a 1000. Dealers got no budiness selelling a new rider that kind of bike. Every semester someone on one of those dies in a crash snd untill they do they're out there making car drivers think every motorcyclist is rolling over 100 flying past them dangerously, or rolling around on an insanely loud harley having a midlife crisis.
Sry for the rant
