Awesome job Jackie! The headlight seems dim so it may need a new bulb or upgrade to LED. One thing I noticed is not using turn signals. Please make it a habit on every turn. Need to make sure cars know what you're doing and the flashing also makes drivers notice you more. Keep it up!
I so thought it seemed dim! That's why I wasn't sure if it was on. I'll have to double check it. I was trying to use hand signals, but I meed to work on getting in the habit of using my real signals.
Thank you again, Jackie. (the first one was for your Warrior ride) I used to ride, but it's been more than 20 years, so I feel like quite a beginner at this point. Watching you on your learning curve is just such a joy because what you are learning are all same skills that I'm going to have to pick up again as well. It's like I'm learning vicariously through you. It's making me more comfortable watching someone have the same fears of driving, like the dropping, the stalling, the intersections, the traffic, and all that. Since I don't have a circle of riders to practice with, all my teachers are online. And you're one of my favourites because you make it all so real, no fake bravado, no arrogance (which seems to be common to the male riders), just a real person doing real things and learning with real issues .... and succeeding. Please keep making your same great content. To quote the band Loverboy, 'I'm lovin' every minute of it' . .. probably before your time. They are fellow Canadians. YT will have the vid. ... Namaste, and keep the rubber side down.
Hello, what an awesome evening /sunset cruise!! I can't get over how nice the gauges light up at night, with the sunset just awesome! Sometimes I'll wear a pair of my orange hunting gloves, the other drivers can see my hand motions better, even at low light levels. Beautiful ride. Be safe, look twice, and enjoy the ride!
Just found your channel and really enjoy it. I also have a Bonneville T100 and I too am still learning how to ride, so I totally get your comfort zone in your neighborhood. My goal is to venture further out of neighborhood each weekend. I look forward to following your journey. Ride safe 🏍.
Glad you found it!! Mine is out of commission right now, but I'm hoping to get it fixed soon so I can take it out some more! Happy to have another beginner here. Ride safe!
Hey Jackie, one thing that would help you a lot would be more throttle when you are taking off. Less likely to stall or almost stall and that bit more power in the friction zone will make the bike more stable as it picks up speed.
Very nice video as I had started out the same way as you and around the same time learning to ride! I have taken the MSF course this year and passed! Now I am a full licensed motorcycle rider! Keep up the great work! I wish I had someone to help and coach me, 99.9% of my riding has been solo and self learning. Trying not to pickup bad habits but its inevitable.
Nice job riding today. Conference comes from experience comes with getting on the bike and going. As far as you stalling the bike it happens it's part of the learning curve. I stalled my bike the other day, thought I was in the friction zone, I wasn't. Keep up the good work and it all pay off in the end. Wheelies and Sturgis did I nap out again...lol. Be good and be safe!!
Great job! You and Jon will be having wheelie competitions in no time. Also consider getting an LED bulb if you plan to ride at night. They make a huge difference.
I am proud of your progress. You are starting to ride the bike to make it sound right. You don't need both feet on the ground at stops. Think kick stand. The crown of the road makes left foot down easier, usually. I prefer right foot down at stops on flat ground because my brake foot will not be as important as my shift foot on take off. The crown determines that, though. I am only slightly taller than you and Jon. One foot is fine once you learn the conditions.
Looks like you need to adjust the headlight. When you turn it is shining kind of high. But let me say it is a very beautiful bike. I just got my M1 endorsement and haven’t been out on my pops Harley-Davidson Road King yet. Keep the rubber side down. 🤙🏽
Lol awesome Jackie . Proud to see your adventuring out further. Is your headlight dim? At times it looked like you didnt have it on. I can see the drz light more. Maybe just the video but was hard to see on my end.
@@denyspoyner4150 yes... when she got home as well. Jackie, have jon check the headlight level... maybe when he removed the windshield , it affected the light?.?
p.s. i always put both feet on the ground unless i'm on an uphill or downhill slope and want to rest my arms. then i use the foot brake to hold the bike still. sometimes i even stand up to stretch my legs while at a stoplight. it's what the cool kids do. ;-)
Hahaha you never know what's going to come out of my mouth! It made such a difference having both feet down for that bike! I felt super uneasy with only one down. I'll need to get used to it before I keep the rear brake covered at stops.
So first time rider and first ride on a z900rs.. I stalled it in second gear going up a steep hill on my fist ride.. found out that's is why you keep right foot up... Pretty much need it to start when you hill or you will roll backwards
You should keep your right foot up at all times no matter what to keep the brake engaged. unless the grounds sketchy, angled, or an incline as you mentioned. or of course you're not there yet as a rider and aren't comfortable with the balance yet. Nothing bothers me more than watching motovloggers ALWAYS shift to neutral and take their hands off the controls at every stop light.
It appears a slight amount more throttle when you are stopped and then going would keep the bike from stopping....or will help with the killing of the engine. If you rev the motor a bit faster, just make sure that you let the clutch out a bit slowly. Just my opinion of course
I'm still digging this journey. Is your camera really dark? Your lamp doesn't look like it is illuminating the street enough for you. Might want to look into replacing that.
You seem to be coming along nicely with your riding. Just a suggestion: If you have the right of way try not to wave others through as it kinda causes confusion to the other drivers and could get you into a crazy situation. Just some food for thought from across the big pond. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍 keep doing what you feel safe with. 🙂
Also it’s probably the bars are too narrow for the weight of that bike . Just like my old ass 41 year old Honda cm 400 ,, I am changing my old ass buckhorn bars to a 32 and a half in wide street handlebar that is much wider and straighter than the buckhorn ones . That’s going to give me much more control of the heavy weight on the front of my bike the old “ styled “ triumphs are very similar to being built with solid and heavier materials ,, similar to my motorcycle that is all heavy materials from back in the day when they built things to last !! Have fun Jackie
Yeah that headlight on that bike is crap and needs to be upgraded, its so dim!! I'd be nervous to ride that at night, you should def look into an LED upgrade if you're going to keep her. ,
I know it’s easier said than done but I have issues with turning my bike as well bc my bike is built to last and not necessarily performance in mind . Your bike is 30 years newer than mine or 20 or whatever but the brand triumph builds the older “ styles “ to look old like the bonneville line of bikes but they built them with heavier duty parts that were made to last in mind ,, rather than the lighter materials they use on their performance models!!! I Think????? Lol 😂. Btw ,, I know this Bc before I bought my bike I went to a Triumph dealer and test rode a new 2017 bonneville and it’s not really balanced like a sport bike
Jackie. You need a little more throttle on your take off. Feather the clutch. Your thinking to much. It will come natural to you. You will see. Look how much better you are from when you started.
There is a good chance you’ll fail if you put your right food down on the road test here. 😬 Why don’t you practice it stop, go, turn, stop in a parking lot? My instructor told us to practice 20 hours in the parking place before attempting the test. Recent history 😓.
If your not on a hill there really isnt a reason to.have your right foot up. Aint nobody gonna care if you put North feet down. I always put both down when o got my girl on the back. Just do you. You are the one having fun lol
P.s. love how you put your mistakes like the stalls it rad to show us your tru progression keep riding kerp having fun and thanks for taking us on your journy

Are you not using your blinkers? I don't think your headlight was on! Anyway good on you, it's so good when you find "the bike" x

You're doing awesome, keep getting out in twos. Jon will be showing you how to wheelie in no time 🤣

Great ride Jackie on your new Triumph😎👍

Reminds me of my early days of riding lol. We all go through that nervousness being around other cars and people.

Pretty sure Jon not only talks you through mistakes, but also demonstrates other mistakes! LOL
🤣🤣🤣 He can't be tamed.
@@JackiesMotoGarage If he could, he wouldn't be Jon.
Lol awesome Jackie . Proud to see your adventuring out further. Is your headlight dim? At times it looked like you didnt have it on. I can see the drz light more. Maybe just the video but was hard to see on my end.
Was going to say the same, looks very dim. @ 7:18 when she pulls up behind the S.U.V. it looks like the light is on, just way too high.
Thank you!! I need to check it out. It seemed so dim to me while I was riding. There's gotta be something up with it.
@@denyspoyner4150 yes... when she got home as well.
Jackie, have jon check the headlight level... maybe when he removed the windshield , it affected the light?.?
Good job Jackie👍
Jackie, your commentary whilst riding is unmatched on RUclips. I just wanted to say: respect. Lol. #WWJS #whatwouldjackiesay

Nooooooooo! I was supposed to be first! LOL. I was out looking at houses. Just got home. Nice video as usual.
Haha next time!
Great job Jackie! That headlight tho! Is it even on?!?
Awesome!! 👏👏 I really like that bike😁
Thank you! I'm loving it!
Well done, you have a great attitude and partner
It appears a slight amount more throttle when you are stopped and then going would keep the bike from stopping....or will help with the killing of the engine. If you rev the motor a bit faster, just make sure that you let the clutch out a bit slowly. Just my opinion of course

Good suggestion! I usually only do that if I need minute to not overthink things. I'll try and be better!
Also it’s probably the bars are too narrow for the weight of that bike .

you need to use your rear brake as you come to a stop leave front brake alone when turning
Has Jon taught you counter steering yet? Ur doing great no over thinking now ur doing fine I always put both feet on the ground. Whatever works for u.
Yeah that headlight on that bike is crap and needs to be upgraded, its so dim!! I'd be nervous to ride that at night, you should def look into an LED upgrade if you're going to keep her. ,
God forbid it happens but If you hit a car would you be insured etc ?
You guys should get communicators.
I know it’s easier said than done but I have issues with turning my bike as well bc my bike is built to last and not necessarily performance in mind .

Good job. Way to stick with it and laugh off the bloopers and other idiots on the road. Does that bike have a candle for a headlight? 🙂
😂😂😂 I need to make sure that headlight is working properly. It was way too dim!
You did great! Don’t worry, I’ll vouch for the wheelie ;)
U and Jon should get Bluetooth Devices have a wonderful day /night take care
We really do need to get some!! We have been talking about it. Need to save up a little first!
Jackie's Moto Garage heck ya that would be awesome
Jackie. You need a little more throttle on your take off. Feather the clutch. Your thinking to much. It will come natural to you. You will see. Look how much better you are from when you started.
You may want ride a bicycle to practice turns and leaning it will help you out.
There is a good chance you’ll fail if you put your right food down on the road test here. 😬
Why don’t you practice it stop, go, turn, stop in a parking lot? My instructor told us to practice 20 hours in the parking place before attempting the test. Recent history 😓.
Also, did you learn countersteeribg? It works 100% over 10 mph. Love your and John’s channels.
Her Majesty. Maj for short?
You say you wanna be safe, but I didn't see you use your turn signal even once.
I was using a lot of hand signals on this ride. Jon showed me where the turn signals were afterwards.
Sweetheart you need to go to a parking lot and practice both right and left full handlebar lock u turns on the bike
If your not on a hill there really isnt a reason to.have your right foot up. Aint nobody gonna care if you put North feet down. I always put both down when o got my girl on the back. Just do you. You are the one having fun lol

Am first here too ! Lol
You're on a roll!
