  • My first time on a motorcycle! In this video I will be learning how to ride a Honda Rebel 300. I just bought this bike and I wanted to share my journey as I learn how to ride. I am a total beginner when it comes to riding motorcycles! So this video will show me learning the basics of riding and practicing short exercises with the bike.
    A big shoutout to Dave for teaching me how to ride and being so patient with me! To teach me how to ride a motorcycle for the first time, I was told to practice walking with the bike in neutral to get a feel for the weight and then I learned how to slowly roll off the clutch. I was very happy with how quickly I was able to pick things up. I plan on uploading a playlist of my riding progress (shifting gears, turns, increasing my speed, quick stops) so keep an eye out for that!

I believe a lot of riders put themselves in those types of situations. Trying to show off or riding outside of their experience level. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen a lot of dumb drivers but if your vigilant, pay attention to your surroundings and don’t ride like an idiot, I truly believe there would be a lot less incidents that injure or potentially kill the motorists.

In an old town I used to live at in Colorado had streets like those, but minus the stop signs. I could never tell who had the right away. It was ridiculous. Lol.
      The one thing I have learned and I’m the same way when it comes to driving vehicles is always expect someone to cut you off, brake check you or blow with stoplights/ stop signs. If you always have that mentality, you will avoid a lot of potential accidents. I hope nothing crazy has happened since that incident and keep on riding safe.

      Rea congrats 👏, When you ease the clutch out lightly not all the way, the bike is moving. That's called the "friction zone". Remember the front and rear brake are on the same side, opposite of the clutch. You got this young Lady. I'm looking forward to more beginner content. As soon as I get my permit I'm buying either a 2022 Street Bob or Low Rider S. They both have the 114 engine.

    I know others have said this, but I want to reinforce that developing familiarity with the friction zone on your clutch is one of the best things you can do early on to increase your confidence on the bike. You got this! Once the controls become second nature it's absurd how good it feels to just cruise around on two wheels. You're going to love it.

    • @mannydcbianco
      @mannydcbianco Год назад +9

      This is the way. When I taught my wife how to ride we spent hours upon hours just getting her used to the friction zone in first gear. Friction zone, get rolling, roll to a stop. Over and over again until it was muscle memory and she could do it without even thinking. Then same thing but a little more speed, and gently using the rear brake to come to a stop. Over and over again. Then same thing with front brake. It's all about repetition until it's muscle memory. A few days in we had her shifting up to second gear and coming to a stop. After a week of this she was riding around the neighborhood like a boss.
      After that we found an empty parking lot and started practicing u-turns (and how finding the friction zone and applying some light rear brake at the same time helps) as well as doing a slalom course, and practicing emergency stops. It was a lot of grinding and it got a bit boring for her after a while, but it helped her learn the basics which in turn made her pass her MSF course and get her license on the first try. We've been riding together for seven years now.

    It's great that you got a motorcycle. I'm 64, and have been riding dirt bikes since age 8, and street bikes since age 16. I got my license on my 16th birthday. It will take years to really become really proficient on it. All my dirt bike experience helped a lot, before I started riding in traffic. The hardest thing to learn is not how to control the motorcycle, but how to deal with traffic. To everybody out there in a 4 wheeled vehicle, you are invisible.
    The front brake is probably the most important control on a bike. You need to learn how to modulate it while coming to a stop from highway speeds in the shortest time possible without locking up the front wheel. Hopefully that bike doesn't have ABS. You have not learned how to ride a motorcycle until you have learned how to ride one without ABS properly.

    Fun to watch a young lady experience the joy of motorcycles. I've been riding a long time and have been hit by two crazy drivers. I always ride defensively, but sometimes there's no way out. Riding in town can be a real challenge with all the aggressive drivers. Get up early and get onto rural roads and enjoy the fresh air and mother nature. It's really a blast after you get the hang of it.

As long as you always err on the side of caution, you'll be fine.

    You should always have your brake pressed when turning on a Motorcycle false neutrals can happen, leave your kickstand down until you're ready to go, always wear your gear, and get used to wearing and learning with it. Just a few pointers.

    Hello Rea! Outstanding! Motorcycles are great! They've been a part of my life for many years! There are some neat channels on youtube of other girls riding. Maybe you'll be able to hook up with some of them and be encouraged and learn some good tips and lessons. "Doodle On A Motorcycle" is a good one. "On Her Two Wheels" is another one.

    Congratulations! Traffic is your biggest enemy. Try to start out in a low traffic area. It will take several hours for the controls to become automatic. In no more than a week, start countersteering. Push right to go right. Easiest above 25 mph. You can begin by just countersteering from the left side of the lane to the right, and back. When you get good at that, you can start using it for cornering. Speaking of which, look where you go, go where you look. Look into the turn. If you maneuver around an obstacle, look at the path around the obstacle, not the obstacle itself. When you practice U-turns, look into the turn. It is very easy to drop a bike at walking speeds. Even after decades of riding. This requires patience and practice. Have fun!

    • @RidewithRea
      @RidewithRea  Год назад

      Thank you so much!! It'll be a while before I'll feel comfortable riding in traffic out on the road but I will continue to practice in empty parking lots to improve my skills. :) I'll try those tips out! I really want to work on turning next.

    Adorably cringey! But your joy shines through, which is great.
    There's *nothing* wrong with a 'noob' getting a motorcycle. They are less dangerous than a bicycle *IF* you don't ride like a monster and you don't seem the type to let ego send you off the rails (or more likely, road).
    Great bike for a noob too. Smallish engine and relaxed seated position is perfect.
    Yes, I would recommend a jacket and gloves, but they don't have to be too chunky if you're not at highway speeds, just something to stop you getting scraped up. Get more substantial gear with armor and whatnot for longer faster rides.
    You're clearly taking it slow and getting steady instruction so just relax and enjoy and take it easy.
    Would also recommend reading up on how a motorcycle works. You'd be surprised the difference it makes in being confident and able to ride when you actually know how clutch, engine, suspension, etc work.

    That is a great beginner bike. I bought my first ever bike 2020 after having the license for 38 years and never have ridden a motorcycle since 1983 and it was a Honda Rebel 500 from 2020. You will have a lot of fun with this great little bike. You already know, that you always should wear proper gear and so nothing stands between you and having fun riding your little Rebel. Your friend is doing a great job too. He is very calm, what is very important. I am doing the same with my wife who first learned riding a scooter and now is in the process of learning to ride a bike with clutch and gears. So I am looking forward to more of your videos. Greatings from Austria.

  • @beeg693
    @beeg693 11 месяцев назад

    I bought a similar bike. I am going to suggest you wear gloves. Also buy a full face helmet and not the one you are wearing. If you get thrown off your bike your face could hit the pavement. My friend has a friend who wore a helmet like yours and the clear plastic snap on face shield came off. He rubbed his face so hard and long on the pavement he ground down his nose. He didn't have a nose anymore Brad told me. I am just saying... As someone once asked me if you fall off the bike.... what do you stick out first? I replied, "oh my hands.".. as I looked at them without gloves on.

  • @sbulldog

    Learn all the controls and their locations before starting your bike. These should be adjusted for you. Your hands should be in better position. Someone mentioned @motojitsu highly recommend you watch his videos. Wear protective gear. Enjoy your new adventures Rea. Stay safe and practice. Especially before getting on the road.

    • @RidewithRea
      @RidewithRea  Год назад +1

      Thank you yes someone also commented and mentioned my hand position. I will definitely get them adjusted for more comfort. & yes I’m in no rush at all to get out on the road with other cars. For now I’ll just be practicing until I feel absolutely comfortable riding. Thanks so much 😊
