You're no longer a beginner rider when you feel comfortable riding and navigating in varying weather, traffic and road conditions and situations. As long as you can keep yourself safe. You're good. Maintenance and riding are quite different things. A lot of people have been riding for years but don't know much about servicing their bikes. Sure knowing the basics is great but that's about it. Most just send their bikes to the workshop. Advanced level riding skills from doing slow speed stuff to knee or elbow down cornering ability, trail braking mechanics, rev matching etc are also great and fantastic but none of that will help much if you're wreckless about safety and speeding. Waddle your bike if you need to, put all your feet down all the time if you want. Yes there are proper habits to develop and ingrain but being overly observant on these things makes you a more nervous rider.
The one or two foot down rules change with time. 20 years ago MSF classes were teaching two feet down. I can see advantages at times for using both methods and I use both methods depending on the situation. I think it is important to be able to make a tight U-turn without dropping a foot and to be able to stop with just the left foot down (if appropriate). But more important to most riders the ability to "look through the corner" automatically (and not fixate on a rock, ledge, tree, curb, etc.). This saved my life more than once and fixaction ended up killing an old friend. The ability to not freak out if the floorboard or pegs touch pavement in a tight turn. The ability to not try to show off at any opportunity.
While footless U-turns are a great indicator of skill, I'd reckon being able to safely emergency brake is a better indicator of being more experienced. Hint, abrupty grabbing a fistful of the front brake is NOT emergency braking.
I put my right foot down at a stop and don’t shift to neutral and hold the brake level. Why because I switched to riding scooters in my old age lol. Have a Suzuki Burgman 400 and a SYM FIDDLE 4 200i scooters.
@@Magiko122-h6g whether you wear a denim or a rated POS gear you’re still going to crash your bones , it’s pointless, it’s not the same as an airbag or a seatbelt
Lol...this does not count everything, most of the guys who got a 600cc and a liter bike all got everything in this checked out but dude why the hell they get beatin by a 250cc motorcycle on corners and gets gapped for like 30 minutes on a 2 hour ride.

A very motivating video, thanks.

Need one video on street triple 765 RS from You
Present Sir Jinno 🙋
I fear finding Neutral on an uphill section off-road hehehe Good one Jinno! Cheers !
in my country you learn to have 1 foot on a rear break from the beginning and if you don't do that on exam it will be considered as a fail...
Good points sir! But
You forgot to include how to choose the right helmet size for beginners.

ATGATT All the gear all the time…
I love your channel.
New tattoo looks nice
This is so true
2:21 forget 'ratings', just wear denims, leather jacket, gloves and importantly a riding boots that can kickstart :D
Denim has the abrasion resistance of lingerie
@@RyGuyTheAVGuy do you crash 365x a year?
Funny how a squid acted like holier-than-thou. What a cliché. I'm glad you didn't mention helmets, you don't need one you dufus.
@@benz201forever do you chose when to crash and slide? also kickstarts are pretty much nonexistent in most modern bikes

Flat footing is a American obsession, do better. Don't be like the Americans.
