    Take it from an old fart with 44 years in the saddle..decelerate in..accelerate out..aim for the vanishing point..stay rt or lt of the center of your lane..(oil slick)..I wiggle the bars a little when facing oncoming traffic (the human eye responds to motion) and I have a headlight pulser module..and a highway blaster horn....finally..make peace with your maker before you hop in the saddle..

      No, but I nearly got knocked off my bike going 70 by a wild turkey. I caught the bird in the corner of my eye, knew the strike was unavoidable, held on tight. She hit me square in the chest then rolled over my shoulder. I knew it was a hen..my jacket was covered in bird s**t and splattered egg.

      @Bizcuitx167 8 лет назад +1

      +IdealSubject Seven yup. They made a newb mistake. They are so experienced they know why they high sided, and they also know they fucked up. Ive seen many videos whereby they have admitted it. But thats a different scenario. They will not high side on the road they are racing and pushing the bike beyond ita limit so its different stupid. No one pushes a bike to the limit on a fucking road stupid.

  • @Knights2theEnd
    @Knights2theEnd 8 лет назад +78

    Brake hard while you are upright and gradually release as you enter a corner - One of the best tips I ever learned. Everyone who has a bike, try this. It will prevent you from crashing and allow you to ride faster.

    • @krytenLister
      @krytenLister 8 лет назад +5

      +Knights2theEnd All your braking should be complete before you tip into the turn as you want to be applying positive throttle as you ride through the turn.

    • @Knights2theEnd
      @Knights2theEnd 8 лет назад

      Kryten L I don't understand your point in relation to what I said

    • @krytenLister
      @krytenLister 8 лет назад +9

      +Knights2theEnd You said brake hard and gradually release as you enter the corner, implying you're still braking into the corner ..I said finish your braking before you enter the corner and start to tip the bike in.

    • @Knights2theEnd
      @Knights2theEnd 8 лет назад

      Kryten L Everything will be gradual regardless since people are not machines however ideally, like you said, all braking should be done before entering the corner.

    • @chainandsprocket13
      @chainandsprocket13 8 лет назад

      +Kryten L that's what I've done for the last three years but recently I've been leaving the brake on just a little longer as I turn in. it seems to keep the front forks compressed and stop them from rebounding as I turn. I ride a yamaha xj6 diversion so not the greatest suspension ever. and doing this seems to stop it from feeling as vague in the corner which is a problem on my bike. not sure if that's just my bike or a general thing

    This man speaks the truth.
    1. Have no clue what they are doing. 2. Are on way more bike than they can handle. 3. Have not taken any training courses with no plans to. 4. Think you can ride in the street the same way ride on the track. 5. Hang out with other morons who don't keep an eye on the newbees, who themselves in most cases have zero clues (blind leading the blind) and are crashes waiting to happen.

      as a rider who is born in Indonesia, i never had any prior training or anything (we make driving licenses by bribing, yeah), but i do read books and watch videos on how to handle a bike when commuting or when i'm racing
      in my 5 years of riding, i've only fallen off from a bike 7 times, never 3 from my stupidity and 4 cuz of other people, in case you are wondering, i have never high sided until today (and hopefully never)
      sry for the text wall, i hope you understood what i was saying

  • @BerryTheBnnuy
    @BerryTheBnnuy 7 лет назад +12

    When I was a newb, I crashed 3 times. All of them at relatively low speeds. The first time was target fixation. The second time was sun in my eyes and I couldn't see the car in front of me and rear ending the car. The third was getting run off the road by a truck turning left without seeing me coming. All 3 times were on the same bike, with the 2nd time resulting in replacing the upper fork tubes. That was all in the first 2 months.
    The bike I was riding was a Honda Rebel 250. I now ride a KZ750 LTD with a lot more power and have learned how to avoid such incidents and be a lot more alert about cars turning left, and now I slow down when the sun is in my eyes. I never ride at a speed beyond what I can reliably and safely stop at.

    @ridingwithsam 8 лет назад +23

    You wont high side from grabbing the front brake, you'll low side. High side is where the rear loses traction, then grips again and throws you off.

    • @dickjohnson5025
      @dickjohnson5025 8 лет назад

      Spot on. Its very possible to control and regain control after a front brake lock up. It takes a lot of skill and luck to save yourself from an impending highside.

    • @CycleCruza
      @CycleCruza  8 лет назад +14

      +Sam Grattan I said COULD cause a high side, it depends on the situation. If you come into a corner too hot and the rear tire starts to slide and you panic and grab all front brake along with trying to overcompensate, you can end up high siding. There is not just one way to high-side. lol

    Just 2 tips for you sir even tho I can give you more from my observation - one, you do NOT use clutch with all four fingers , THATS for newbs ( aka squids) two, when you were stopped behind that van, you should be in gear watching behind you for cars that might not stop and you shouldn't sit right behind the center of van you should of been to right by road line so you have somewhere to go if another car doesn't stop and rear ends you, you don't get crushed between vehicles

      I started on my brother zx6r 1998, then bought a 2005 gsxr1000. The 1000 is way too much bike for full throttle, but works better on high ways. Now I am looking for a bike I the future, and will be considering 600 or 750cc bikes. The part I like about the superstore is throttle response and engine smoothness at super high RPM. And always ride smart. If with a group, don't try to keep up if your levels not there. Don't ride with idiots.

    +CycleCruza I don't ride like a bat of hell every time I'm on the road, but there are times when I take advantage of the power and handling of my bike.....that's the point of a bike. There are times and places where its perfectly safe to give it some....the trick is knowing when are where you can do it safely and unfortunately most riders don't as evidenced by accident statistics.

    • @CycleCruza
      @CycleCruza  8 лет назад +10

      +Cesar Lazo I always recommend small lightweight 250's or 300's because they will help you gain confidence faster. Some of the harleys are super heavy and a bit cumbersome to handle for a new rider but the smaller harleys would probably be fine.

    @nuffflavor 8 лет назад +4

    New Riders should buy a bike that fits their height and weight. If the guy is 200lbs+ & over 6'2" then a super sport maybe his best choice. I have rode with girls barely 5 feet tall riding Busa(S) as a first bike with not issues... why ? cause most girls have a different mentality (approach) to the vehicle. The *Issue* is the *mentality* of the ryder... not the power of the bike

    • @sixdsix5028
      @sixdsix5028 8 лет назад +1

      +nuffflavor True, but even a level headed individual can be spooked or caught off guard; a twist of the wrist or too much brake can bring an inexperienced rider down fast.
      Also, muscle memory plays a big role with reaction time and safety, and that comes with time spent on the road.
      I do agree that somebody who tends to be a reckless risk taker shouldn't jump on a liter bike right away.

    • @nuffflavor
      @nuffflavor 8 лет назад

      Michael D Yeah man, there are plenty of videos on this site with Newbies crashing simple mopeds, dirt bikes and other low CC motorcycles. You should know that no matter what is under you... a wrong twist of the wrist and you will send that 2-wheeler flying. :)

    • @FatherJ0hn
      @FatherJ0hn 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah, but a hard twist on a scooter or a 125 (my first bike, back in the stone age) will drop you on your butt at 15 mph. Do the same thing on a liter bike and you might be doing 60 before you fall off.

  • @Scoottoots
    @Scoottoots 8 лет назад +6

    All good stuff. Another that I'll add is: When riding those scenic twisty roads, ride the speed that enables you to stop within the amount of road that's visible to you. In obscured bends, you gotta ask yourself, "can I stop safely in the amount of road I see?" If the answer is "no," then you're 'trusting' there won't be any crap on the road, or a deer, or an accident scene. If you're going on trust, you give up control.

    Thanks for the video. Today was my first day on a bike (I was taking a safety course to get my endorsement) and while I wiped out for breaking in a low speed turn trying to come to a stop, I was afraid of doing counter steering in 2nd gear because I didn't want to fall off again. Riding coach said we have to break when we turn but didn't clarify that you had to break before the turn opposed to when you're already in the turn... You explained it well and made it simple to understand. Thanks!

  • @MethIsThug
    @MethIsThug 8 лет назад

    I totally agree my brother! That's one of the best tips I received PERIOD from the MSF new rider course. Don't brake in a turn! As you said, do all your braking BEFORE the turn. And the twofold meaning is the bike is more stable and at it's most natural gyroscopic position while accelerating. So slowing before the turn, giving you the ability to ACCELERATE through the turn will actually make you the most stable. Good advice. I've been subbed for a while. Keep doing what you do my brother.

  • @edwardgriffin8092
    @edwardgriffin8092 8 лет назад

    If you use the front brake leaning into a bend the front wheel will slide out from under you. This is called a Lowside, as you are low to the ground sliding out. A Highside happens when you are exiting a corner and you hit the gas to hard while still leaning around the bend.This will make the back wheel spin up, then grip again causing the back of the bike to flip up in the air throwing you off Highside. So as per the really good advice in this video. Do ALL of your slowing down and braking before you enter the bend/corner, and very gentle on the throttle/gas coming out until the bike is upright enough to blast away. CycleCruza, very informative video, well done, and keep up the good work. I wish more bikers would pass on their knowledge and experience to new riders as you are doing. Just one thing though. Please try to hold onto the hand grips a bit more. A little rock on the road, or a pothole could have you off. (you may think it sounds stupid, but think about it) Ride Safe Always.
