I was thinking about getting a motorcycle, but the more I watch these videos and others on RU-vid the more I'm convinced that riding is an insanely complex proposition in which every instant on the road poses a new problem that cannot possibly be solved with anything other than counterintuitive and complex reactions that demand lightning reflexes and years of life-threatening training.

@mangoslice6319 3 года назад

It’s not that complicated. It’s a matter of practice and being confident with your abilities (which comes with practice) I’ve been riding for a month and a half now. Tons of fun and I use any excuse to go out and ride and practice. If you can maneuver a bike, you can maneuver a motorcycle (just heavier) It still takes practice to be comfortable maneuvering such weight As long as you’re looking well ahead and scanning for dangers, you won’t need quick reflexes since you’re already giving yourself additional time to react by riding passively

@alexappleby8677 3 года назад

Eating food does not speed up the body’s alcohol processing rate! It acts a sponge in your stomach, and prevents irritation of the stomach lining by the alcohol. These factors slow alcohol absorption. Since alcohol metabolism is unchanged, your peak blood alcohol level is lower (you get less drunk), but it will take longer to metabolise everything you drank (you’re impaired for longer!). The average alcohol metabolic rate is one standard drink (1 unit in the UK) per hour, but the standard bottle of crappy larger is usually about 1.5 standard drinks. So if you get peer pressured into having 2 beers instead then you should wait at least a couple of hours (after the last drop of beer) before riding, and eating is going to make it worse…not better! Best advice, drink alcohol free/low alcohol, they’re getting way better than they used to be.

@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942 3 года назад

I bought a non abs bike. But not to cheap out. But because i dont like to not have super bite on my breaks. Dont get me twisted. I HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage any and all riders new and semi experienced to always buy abs if its an option, im not against it. Its just not for me. And NO i am not a tough guy because of it. Thats not what im saying or implying. I just grew up riding without it. And its my preference. Im 20 years into having a mc endorsement 38yrs old.

@ntdscherer 3 года назад

ABS doesn't do anything unless it detects lockup, how is it affecting bite?

@@ntdscherer because abs activates way way sooner than it needs to. Go ride non abs bikes and see how much more braking control you have. Its a fact. Im not here to argue. I just stated that abs is really not needed for a Competent rider who knows and understands how to use brakes. As i said ive been riding for 20 years. I owned one bike with abs and took it off .

Not worth it. Heard about a Friday afternoon quick drink after work - time to go home, dude is so wasted he cannot sit on his bike (CBX1000 - the 6 cyl beast) while it's on the main stand, so his "friends" help him by tying him to the bike with belts and ties and get him wobbling on his way. He almost made it home, but there's this notorious off-camber right handed crest - a seriously nasty corner - and he high sided it. They say the bike must have rolled 5 or 6 times, breaking every single bone in his body and turning him into jelly.

@arthercurey1726 3 года назад

the one thing I I'd like to mention: plz when you're sitting at a stoplight and it changes from red to Green, I don't immediately hit the throttle I take a couple seconds and check both left and right to make sure the people have actually stopped for their red lights. I have seen so many people fly through the intersection not even paying attention it is most dangerous when it changes from green to red and they're in a hurry....

@Voltaic314 Год назад

Yeah I second this, from a different perspective. I was someone who flew through an intersection not meaning to. I got hit (as I should have been), and totalled my car. I still get some minor PTSD from it. It was a total accident, I just blanked out and saw the red light but my brain didn't register to stop for some reason. I regret it to this day. Luckily I didn't kill anyone and my life isn't over or whatever. But it can happen to anyone. It's not just a 1 in a million drunk driver doing it. This happens to real people. I'm serious. Even if you're driving a car, it's ALWAYS a good practice to look both ways even if going through a green and in your car. ALWAYS do it!

@jackhobster2541 3 года назад

Stopping at a green light is a great way to get rear ended, I see it all the time at junctions and roundabouts, people either looking at the colour of the light or trying to see around the car in front to see if they can go immediately after them without realising the car in front has actually stopped and either go into the back of them or have to slam on the brakes If you're going to use that tip make sure you keep a close eye on the person behind you so you don't get slammed from behind

do not roll off the throttle in a tank slapper, you either want to keep the pace or go faster, thats like saying "feel unstable and like youre going to fall in a corner, slow down" that just makes it worse, you want the wheel to settle its self not give it less gyroscopic affect to make it more pronounced.

@HonzaKuranda 3 года назад

I would add one or two more - always watch and expect some stuff on the road esp. in the corners (gravel, leaves, wet pods after rain etc.). I always have this in my mind and it keeps me alert. When riding in forests and fields - I always scan land on sides trying to spot moves in the bush. Animals are sometimes super quick giving you no chance to react but mostly you can spot them way ahead. Saved my life once. So at least think about it and expect this might happen, dont make yourself feel stressed just make a habit of "scanning" for danger.

@adamschoedel8829 3 года назад

All excellent tips. The only thing I would add or modify is number 1. Looking ahead is definitely good in most situations. But if, like me, you live in a population-dense area with dense traffic (I live in Kyoto Japan) , it changes the equation a little. Flowing with the traffic around you can be more of a priority than looking down the road. If you look ahead too much, you might rear-end what's in front of you. In general, looking ahead is wise advice, but pay attention to the specific environment you're in and adapt your approach as necessary. Just keep your head in the game wherever you are.

The first course was well attended the 2nd and 3rd not so much but I had already paid for them and we got even more personal attention. I never had an accident since. I came close but had the training to get out of trouble. In case your wondering I'm 68 now and continue to ride. Mike from Maryland

eBay search "iron on reflective." Yes, shipping is 4-6 weeks, but 10-20 feet of that stuff will do several full sets of gear. Plus all that shipping delay will give you time to buy an iron and practice with it.

You don't need a fancy case. Just buy a Nokia 3310 if you drop it frequently. That shit can shrug off atmospheric re-entry.

I mean ABS didn't work for big trucks so I'd hesitate to ride a bike equipped with that braking system.

The one thing I do that most definitely annoys car drivers is I wait for more space when pulling into traffic then I would in a car. Being rushed can also put you in a precarious position. P.S. I don't really care if I annoy car drivers LOL because at the end of the day it would be me smeared across the pavement.

Heavy drinking and bikes definitely don't mix well together. There were only 2 times in my life that i was totally plastered and tried to ride my bike. Luckily, it fell on top of me before i got out of my driveway. 😛 Thank God for that, because it would've been game over. I've been sober now for 18 years and still love to ride.

Alcohol and bikes should never mix. Me and a buddy went down to a popular local riding area and it happened to be the "river run" that weekend. Hundreds of Harley guys bar hopping. Literally passed 3 accidents on the way down, 2 of them fatal. If you drink and ride, you're a soon to be dead idiot.

@stevestla 3 года назад

I disagree with your advice on tank slappers. Your advice is great for a developing wobble. In a tank slapper the bars are literally going full lock to full lock. The way out of a tank slapper is to get ON the throttle. If you roll off the throttle you are transferring additional weight to the front tire which will make things worse. Getting on the throttle take's weight of the front and it will straighten out. That's from years of racing experience.

@r563 3 года назад

Great advice , also remember to give the front brake lever a couple pumps in case the brake pistons were knocked back in the calipers .

@simonthomas5367 3 года назад

I found that switching your indicator lights to combined LED daytime running lights way more effective than high vis gear.

@rightwingsafetysquad9872 3 года назад

My first time riding on city streets I was less than a foot away from being hit by a lady in a RAV4 who didn’t see me. Thankfully I had enough experience in dirt and rural highways to rev the engine for her to hear me and accelerate out of the way. It was like 11am and I was wearing a bright red ski jacket and a white helmet, not exactly stealth mode. Lesson to learn, if they can’t hear you, the only drivers who will see you are other bikers who are driving a car at that time, even if you’re a retired dentist on your GS wearing the requisite banana suit.

@tim-ferentar1759 2 года назад

Great video and i agree with all points. I did want to add one tiny thing. Being visible is, of course, extremely important. Still i bought my gear for what i like the look off combined with the protection i desires (spine guard, kevlar lining etc.). So as you can imagine 0 reflective parts on it. As a solution during bad weather like rain, fog or at night i wear a hi-vis belt "harnas" system over my gear. That way i am just as visible (if not more because those reflective bands are big) without having to compromise on style. Now that i've writen it out i'm actually thinking i might be a bit vain roflmao

Posture 101. You hold onto the motorcycle with your knees and legs. Core should be tight or firm...lol...arms should be relaxed. Try braking drills in a parking lot concentrating on keeping your lower body tight and your arms relaxed. Look where you WANT to go. Take a class or 52. Always be willing to learn my friends.

WHITE helmets! They can be seen. but everyone buys a black one...

True for me. It attracts the sun's hot rays as well. My black 1986 Simpson Bandit full face helmet has always been as hot as hell to wear out in the blazing sun. (The thick black leather jacket doesn't help much either.) White would reflect the sun, and would probably be a little cooler, as well as giving more visibility to other's out on the road.
