You new rider's need to take that to heart. I've had a lot of friends that I use to ride with that are no longer riding with me because of alcohol, drugs or having the wrong mindset when they got on their bikes. Not preaching to any of you so don't think I am but remember one more thing. Don't ever think that you have mastered that bike the day you do it will turn on you.

When I'm engine braking, I always slightly apply my rear brake to help control the deceleration and signal that I'm slowing down. It also makes me feel much more experienced than I am.

@FastFXS Год назад

You need to be using your front brake, Not, your rear brake, 75% of your stopping power is in front, .but, the main reason is you have much more control using the front. Think of it the same way as you would with a blowout. Front blows, you have much more control because the bars are in your hand and you can control the direction of bike more readily. Rear your at the mercy of the bike, rd etc. I personally preferred have control. Also keep in mind, your finger is much closer to the brake than your foot.

@FastFXS Год назад

Applies especially when cornering through curves

@paulhope3401 Год назад

@@FastFXSI'm sure he knows that but he's saying he's using the less powerful rear brake mostly to get the brake light on while deaccelerating to make people behind aware...as opposed to just using engine braking where the brake light doesn't come on.

Fear is a really good and respected teacher. 👌 complacency kills. I respect every bike I get on. Every time I throw my leg over and start up, I accept that there's a chance I won't come back from that ride so every time I pull into my driveway or where ever I'm headed, its a relief and its satisfying. I never took any further training although I wish I had but after 15 years, I'm pretty aware of what I'm doing lol... not being cocky at all. I'm well aware I could just as easily make a mistake as anyone else on the road. I know guys who have been riding 20, 30 years and still make newbie mistakes, occasionally, but it happens.

@mcmneverreadsreplys7318 Месяц назад

'White-lining' is (or was in the 70s) legal in California. But it was mostly a legal loophole. First, most bikes are air cooled and CA freeways are justifiably infamous for their stand-still traffic. Second, bikes were legally permitted to share a lane with another bike - but since the law actually read "another vehicle' bikes could legally share a lane with a car; making 'white-lining' legal. (NOTE: this also meant that technically a 'white-liner was not suppose 'ride' the white-line. They were suppose to stay in one lane or the other, and if they changed lanes all requisite signaling was required. So, no white-line' weaving.) Put these two facts together and 'white-lining' was virtually a common way of life for bikers on LA freeways. (This type of "White-lining" ,aka Lane-splitting or Lane-sharing, is generally not legal outside of CA.) I tried it once in LA. But never again, and for good reasons. First, LOTS of CA drivers resent 'white-liners' and not a few will take aggressive actions against them. Second, I rode a dressed out tour bike - bigger bike, smaller mid-lane clearances. On top of that, I rode a Goldwing which is water cooled, so I didn't really have a NEED to take the added risk (or risk the threats) of 'white-lining'

@NWTMasterWolf 2 года назад

Two fingers down is actually originally a signal to let each other know all is well behind them as well as to say hello. E.G. tapping the top of your helmet being a sign of warning (heads up) to an on coming rider that their is a danger they are headed for. Remembering and practicing this was a priority when I was growing up on bikes.

I drive a Jeep, so the waving very much a part of our culture, as well. Even though I don't ride, I usually try to give motorcycles a wider lane by pulling to the side in rush hour traffic to make it easier for them to split the lane. To all the riders that have given the wave to acknowledge the space I've made, you're welcome, and thanks for the friendly gesture!

I sit up tall and wave my whole arm like you're my best friend I haven't seen in a long time.

@rickkonecny3789 Год назад

Along with greetings, peaceful journey. The wind also will not grab your hand or destabilize you as arm is down and back thus wind flows past, and freshness of open spaces flows around you!

@microcolonel 2 года назад

The downward pointing gesture confused me a lot, my first week on the bike. My instinct is to wave gently, like I do in the car. Everyone waves at eachother in their cars here; like, a greeting, not just to direct traffic or get attention. Anyways I figured it was, "two-down".

@clydebutler6487 3 года назад

#3 Yes, bikes have a greater power to weight ratio and leave a stop sign/signal light quicker. But a large amount of bike/auto accidents happen at intersections. And that is why I leave the intersection quickly.

@Paragonx135 2 года назад

Blinker is not just about forgetting, it's also when you don't press it to cancel correctly, since the hand in thick glove is less sensitive.

@theguy106 Год назад

Or if they're self cancelling but often don't do it and then sometimes you cancel it manually right after it actually self cancelled 🤦

I ride a 100cc 2 stroke on a bicycle. Its equipped with lights and signals and all. More than one biker has used the blinker hand gesture when I have left mine blinking. Most of them chuckle and smile when they see me too. Also they do not seem to care that I am riding what amounts to a bicycle with a lawnmower engine on it.

@IAmJoeJericho 2 года назад

I stop riding for about 3 years. I just bought a Dyna and learning all over again on a bigger bike than before. It feels so good to get a wave. I initiate the wave at times and if only they knew I started new again lol.

I ride a yamaha 400 Majestic. It's Wyatt some call a maxscooter. I love being on 2 wheels. I, also feel much satisfaction when I get the wave from people on "real" motorcycles. I installed a module on my bike that flashes the brake light when I slow down without tapping my brakes. It's been helpful. Great video.

@tooyoungtobeold8756 2 месяца назад

In the UK, because we drive on the left we nod our heads in acknowlegment of other riders, because if we waved we would have to take our hands of the throttle. The leg move is also used to thank motorists who pull over to let you pass, while slow filtering, as you need both hands on the throttle and close to the front brake.

Once I was riding with a best mate on a Ducati. I wondered why I was always on him once he slowed down without the break light, until I understood he had much more engine brake power than I did !

Mine is self canceling in 30 sec. If to slight a turn. I still am all over turning them off quickly. I don't display brake light when down shifting. I am all about mirror and then display stutter stop brk. lights. Safe travels!

@SicariiD 2 года назад

A few years ago I was at a rally and we had a ride out. I was close to the front of the formation and we met another rider and waved. The thing was that our formation was somewhere along 2-300 bikes, so that sportbike guy must have gotten some exercise waving for like 5 minutes straight 😁

I always hit the brake when stopping. I learned to drive a stick shot and have always had one. After being rear ended in a pickup (twice) because I'd down shift instead of braking.

@wildae. 3 года назад

i avoid down shifting to brake, just press brakes while also doing engine braking on same gear

@danlevesque5437 3 года назад

If you have decent traction and functional calipers you can almost stop on a dime I found out rear brake pads every 2 years and brake fluid change as well and then caliper seals rebuild around 5-6 years best maintenance ratio for emergency stopping

@robertelliker1649 Год назад

personally I always wear my bike boots or at least ankle boots when on my bike , during my early learning bike day's I tipped over on a 600 while on a training day ,luckily I was static at the time lol but the bike actually pinned me to the ground . I was wearing bike boots which saved my leg from the hot exhaust pipe . That sealed the wear bike boots deal for me . Silly things do happen to us all at some point . H
