I have always thought that beginning by riding dirt bikes first . You learn a lot and dropping your dirt bike does little to no harm. But you learn a lot thus when getting on a street bike your learning curve is much quicker. Also I find most folks buy a faster or bigger bike than they should at first.
Very true on both points. I think many people buy bigger bikes than they need because they simply underestimate how fast even a small cc road bike can go. A dirt bike on a small farm (where so many kids learn to ride) rarely gets over 30 or 40 mph, then you jump on a bike weighing twice as much with other vehicles around and doing 60mph+ it is indeed a steep learning curve even for the casual dirt bike rider.
@@AussieMoto yeh in Melbourne. Went out last night, was so good. Balmy weather and no cars was lots of fun. There's an idea for a video, night riding 😅
@@gazgas6400 Nice, pissed rain all night here in the north. I’m keen for some night rides it’s just the bloody kangaroos are insane at night, would hate to slam into a big 2 metre grey while on the bike. 😂
I use the same old backpack I have for everything else. I use it for biking, cycling, kayaking, camping, hiking… I don’t like to waste money so if gear can be shared safely between different hobbies then that’s what I do.
Sounds like you’re just talking about your personal experiences with bad riders lol I wanted tips on the motorcycle itself the Yamaha r3 like the gears and details of things to keep notice of
