First Time Riding a Motorcycle on the Road 

When did he say that?!

When did he say that?!

@@yoyoman_blue6485 around 3-4 miniutes

*3:49* "How fast am i going? 60?!" *4:34* "How do i brake?" Know your calculations brah!!

That's how u know ur living life to the fullest. CANT WAIT TO GET MY MOTORBIKE!!

Stephen Robinson IKR. My first bike was a 800cc Suzuki Boulevard. No rising experience ever. Just showed up with cash and they showed me the controls and that's it. Needless to say I stalled it a couple of times. I also almost hit a bus cause I was trying to turn like a car. Im just lucky to be alive.

@@MRBIGCOHONEZ I know what you're talking about its counter intuitive to push right and go left. Thanks for responding and just appreciating riding

@@stephen.r3304 WIKIPEDIA Much of the art of motorcycle cornering is learning how to effectively push the grips into corners and how to maintain proper lean angles through the turn. When the need for a quick swerve to one side suddenly arises in an emergency, it is essential to know, through prior practice, that countersteering is the most efficient way to change the motorcycle's course.[12] Many accidents result when otherwise experienced riders who have never carefully developed this skill encounter an unexpected obstacle. To encourage an understanding of the phenomena around countersteering, the phrase positive steering is sometimes used.[13][14] Other phrases are "PRESS - To turn, the motorcycle must lean", "To lean the motorcycle, press on the handgrip in the direction of the turn" or "Press left - lean left - go left".[15] The Motorcycle Safety Foundation teaches countersteering to all students in all of its schools, as do all motorcycle racing schools. Countersteering is included in United States state motorcycle operator manuals and tests, such as Washington,[16] New Jersey,[17] California,[18] and Missouri.[19] Safety According to the Hurt Report, most motorcycle riders in the United States would over-brake and skid the rear wheel and under-brake the front when trying hard to avoid a collision. The ability to countersteer and swerve was essentially absent with many motorcycle operators.[20] The often small amount of initial countersteering input required to get the bike to lean, which may be as little as 0.125 seconds, keeps many riders unaware of the concept.[21] "COUNTER STEERING" is NOT push RIGHT to go LEFT, look up counter steering on RU-vid or Google, there are many videos and discussions about it, it is taught at the Highway Patrol academy to Motor Officers . Imagine you are riding down a 4 lane freeway late at night no traffic, you are in the lane next to the slow lane and a big rig hauling double flatbeds with pallets tied down on the back trailer is ahead of you 50 yds or so, the trailer bounces as it goes over an underpass and a pallet breaks loose and hits the ground , spinning and busting apart it is quickly coming at you unless you do an emergency DIVE LEFT! Now imagine you are riding straight ahead and you push / apply pressure on the left handle grip, the bike will fall left, same thing if you push / apply pressure to the right handle grip, the bike will fall right, as the bike falls you add throttle and hang your knee out and hang your ass off the seat trying to keep the center of gravity low as possible, (just like the racers do). COUNTER STEERING is what SPEEDWAY racers do as they slide around corners, cars also do so, like street cars and Quarter Midget racers both are exaggerated example's compared to counter steering a big street motorcycle on pavement. The DIVING aspect of counter steering on a street bike is how we immediately alter our direction. Imagine you are entering a unfamiliar left curve a bit fast, the bike is leaning and the lean angle becomes more extreme as the corner becomes tighter , you think, I entered this corner too fast and you max you lean angle and when you see the arc of your path is not going to make it you do what every inexperienced rider does when they panic in this situation, they brake more and or actually turn the handlebars left, as if driving a car! What this does is aim the rear tire off the road, often times the bike high sides and flips the rider off.

I like the nervousness lol ima be the same way when I get mine soon. I use to have a 250 blastor it has the same concept but different gas throttle. But I'm ready to get my bike. Ima get a yahama r3 or ninja 300 maybe 400 or 600

Wow I really appreciate your comment. All true

Im not hating..... Im sympathetic towards the motorcycle

@@piyushverma1139 it dosen't matter, let him do wrong things. because eventually he will learn.

I’m so with this guy I’m still super nervous and my first time riding a cruiser furry 1300 I shake like a mofo

He actually look somewhat agile on the thing. It's just that it seems like he picked up many bad habits during his motorcycle class like only using the rear brake. For beginners out there, the rear brake almost does nothing to slow you down, it's just there to stabilize the motorcycle. Like they say, apply 70% front and 30% rear.

Right I agree

Real :)

it's making me looking forward to my first ride here in a week... I'm scared as shit to go on road for first time haha. Not so much that I'll mess up, but that someone else will mess me up not paying attention.

Thats the thought we all "low key have" but when youre out riding try not to think of that because it can ed up screwing with your ability to ride properly. Just as long as you do you, obey rules/laws, youll be fine. But that "what if x car does this and that" will always be in the back of your head. In my opinion, that is where people draw the line between choosing to ride or not.@@jerichostevens2711

You really gotta have that idgaf mentality when you start riding the motorcycle on the road. I had an accident on my 3rd day of riding going around the neighborhood. At that time, it was purely riding around the neighborhood. Broke my front brake lever, falling off at a stop sign. But after that, I'm like, "F this!" I'm going for it and rode it 15 minutes down the road to my old college and came back. Every stoplight I hit, I was scared shitless, not so much around cars, not sure why. But it was my pride and ego at that time that took me for a ride. 😅

Freshphantoms lol right

Lmfaoo

Start on the beginner r1. Then when you've ridden for about 20 on the you are fully ready to ride a 'busa or the H2

hahahahaha I'm dying bro

give this man some internets

DaddyLongLegs44 same I also didn’t wanna drive it home lol

@@javiercruz66ify most dealers deliver bikes for free to your house...

@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 not private dealers/salers.

@@palicoes6354 There is no such thing as a private dealer....

@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 You have a motorcycle dealership and then you have a 40 year old man selling his cruiser. Thats a private seller.

setmedic true story lol that’s how I learned on my bike.

How about learning that on a safe space first ?

Lol...

KaiTae every second you’re on a bike your life depends on it. Your mind realizes the danger and makes you respect the throttle

That needs to be on a t shirt for a motorcycle training facility ASAP hahaha

jesus christ everyone saying leave him alone are the WORST kind of people... DONT ENCOURAGE someone to take their own life

Especially if you drive cars before and not used to cancelling. Took me forever to get used to it.

yeah that was an epic reaction. This guy should be an internet meme.

pablo elduro ya it’s kinda bothering me lol

Welcome to youtube. The land of super heroes and gods.

It's not hard to drive tbh.. i learned driving by just watching motovlogs and listening my friends about what not to do.

pablo N literally

Honestly I was terrified when I first started riding on the road

Rob Sadler so, did you get your bike?

Take it slow, your confidence will rise and soon you'll be on a 675r...almost anyone can get it if they put in the effort.

Practise the hell out of riding in a parking lot, making turns, fast stops, slow stops...etc...youll be safer and a better rider if you make as many mistakes as you can in a parking lot ...

I thought I'm the only...hahaha..

Great vid.. I brought my firdt bike 2 weeks ago

Hahahah so true!

I'm six years late...hope you're still riding in 2024 🇦🇺

@@PhilipBurton-dn3ce I def am! 🏍

Yup, I eventually figured out I was doing it incorrectly

Lol...this is comedy, but I know youll get there...I was just as bad prolly worse...now my 675r keeps me challenged...

But the thing is there were times the bike was revving a lot but he wasn't gaining speed, I guess that's because the clutch was still in

Same mane, I never rode before 😂😂

@@fyb3x890 same here and i’m getting a bike in a couple days

@@jamariwalker6199 good luck mane you’ll do excellence on it 😈💪🏿

I have had my first bike for two weeks now. My MFS is scheduled and I’ve been practicing going incredibly slow around my quiet neighborhood until then. I am TERRIFIED but determined. It’s being able to experience this crucial step with others that is helping me to not give up… or feel dumb lol.

@@amandaharrison463 it's been 4 months now, how are you doing ! I got my first bike 2 months ago!

Trueee! That was me on my first day too lol. Good luck and be safe bro! You gonna have tons of fun.

What did u get dude?

Hey Tom I took my CBT a few times a as you have to retest every 2yrs before taking my full test and omg it was shocking to see the people who they passed. I even said to the instructor they should not be on the road yet as they haven't got a clue. He just laughed. The last bloke was spot on failed some people which was great to see as they will get more experience before being able to enjoy riding ;)

Tom Clarke exactly. And even then, you're only allowed to ride a 125 with L-plates, and prohibited from using motorways. It's a very good system in my eyes!

Next year I’m eligible to start learning how to ride a motorbike in the UK and I swear I won’t even go near a road without learning all the road laws and safety procedures.

gotta love/hate the german system for that. one is legally "forced" to sign-up at some "driving-school" of choice and undergo a mandatory ammount of theoretic lessons + a theoretic test, followed by mandatory lessons in a car/on a bike with a driving instructor (have to take the driving hours for car and bike seperately even, just as the test). just meeting the minimum needed driving lessons still wont get you to the actual driving test as you have to be signed-up for it by said school you are in, so even if you have, lets say 100 hours on the road and still dont know shit / cant drive safe AT ALL you will never even get to the test in the first place.

The US(some states like pa) requires it only if you are under 18, but if you take it you and complete it you get to skip the skills test. And get your license immediately.

I’m 19 and also started in a cbr 600rr The first day that I road on the street I felt like this dude 😂

Are you still alive?

​@@DF-ss5epyeah

And the wheel could slip on water.

Philip Cooper yea if he keeps holding down the throttle when he changes gears his tire will jerk and he will lose traction and slip.

Dont worry a 125cc doesnt have enough torque to slip the rear wheel.

Yes it does, just like the front brake being powerful enough to lock the front wheel.

umm...on a dry road, I doubt it does.

KrYpTIC tH why wouldn’t it?

TBH no one is doing hate on him.

Haha I was literally just cracking up about that shit haha, that's hilarious lol

Brake not break

Brake, not break

Brake or break. The time to figure that out isn’t when your life might depend on it.

he probably didnt know how to brake since one of the things that look like the brake is called a clutch. its like brakes on a bike but the right one is the clutch which you change gears with, so he probably didnt know that the left one was the break. anyway he just got a new bike, his first one to be exact. cut him some slack.

J Payne I started with a 600 honda hornet. No problem. You need to be humble of the power och respect the bike and your skill level. =being mature. But yeah, a lot of people should not i guess

I started with a harley a dyna low rider lol

Fredric Anderson being humble, and respecting the bikes power works in theory, but when you make a mistake, the bike does NOT forgive your mistake. Imagine this guy on a 600.... not backing off throttle when shifting..... surprise clutch up wheelie, whiskey throttle, imagine the outcome.

I started and still have a 1200cc buell m2 cyclone

J Payne I started on 650, this guy just need to learn on a grom first lol

Your username is beautiful

Brian Kaiser I’m 39 same citations

Good to know im not the only old guy new to the streets lol. Most my friends that ride here own harleys and here i am on my dual sport klr 650. You got to have respect for anyone on 2 wheels. Ride safe! 👍

Just got my motorcycle learners permit yesterday at the young age of 41 after wanting it since a teen. Still have to take the safety course or the insurance company won't insure me so until then I have a 2013 Honda NC700X (not the DCT) burning a hole in my garage. Gotta say though, I am a little nervous about going out mainly because of the other drivers on the road. Take your time and ride safe guys

Brian Kaiser Congrats on getting the bike on the road. Some advise? I'm 53 and have been riding for 38 yrs, I'm on a 2010 Harley FLHTCU..The advise is that any rider of ANY skill NEEDS to constantly practice emergency braking. Hit a parking lot often and practice stopping quickly (don't use front brake ONLY), practice how to quickly slow down and change your line (you can't emergency brake while turning). In other words, think of as many things you might have to get out of and practice accordingly. This WILL be the most important skill to learn to save your life. 1 more thing. On the road, ALWAYS be paranoid but not scared. Ride like Murphy's Law is out to get you. If someone has the ability to pull out in front of you, act like they probably will. This way when some driver "doesn't see you" while looking straight at you, you'll be expecting it and be ready for it. Hope this maybe will help you or anyone else that reads this.. (I STILL practice once in a while). Good luck and keep the sticky side down.

I’m 40 too and recently got my first motorcycle 🏍. Doing well and always learning.

how’s it going so far?

@@daviddee8792 i love it! idk why i waited 46 years to get a bike... but it's frickin AWESOME!!!!

Ayyye, and first subscriber!

Thanks dude! Means a lot

You sadist. Haha, jk.

Oleg efov ---> Yeah... like the 160hp - 100 lb/ft Multistrada 1200. 😉👍

And way more fun!

Haha I went from a 1998 Kawasaki Eliminator doing 60mph in 30 seconds, to an 05 fz6 the power made my bellend tingle

LedFingers this going to be my hardest struggle when I get a bike shifting

None None trust me man it's not that hard once you learn

He redline it at 12:12 lol

@@nonenone4078 Your RPM is your indicator of your going to fast in a gear. You mostly shift at 3k RPM in each gear if I recall haven't drove a standard in years. But that also depends on what your driving because they can all be different.

@@sligen on such a small bike you upshift at like 10k revvs. Bikes rev a lot higher than cars. Some sportbikes redline at like 12k.

Everybody makes mistakes doing everything new in life. Its what u do after those mistakes that defines u and helps u grow as a person. I'm not letting my mistakes define me anymore...

I totalllllly understand you ! That’s actually why I found this video. I see your comment was from a year ago ! Have you gotten your confidence back ?? I’m in limbo right now

John Conners I agree but some people that never rode before have no choice but to take the interstate. When I bought my first bike it was 90 miles from my house. I did have a friend follow me in his car but anyway I loved it it was easy and after a few minutes I felt comfortable on the bike. Hell I even got up to 90 mph. Yeah it's a cruiser.

john conners, he kinda said that in the video

Lol...

Not sure if your talking about how it's always on but I want to say he put the hazards on so the other drivers know to be careful.

@@gotrod5432b yeah, he was a hazard on the road :)

Frankenscuzz lol same

Your message gives me anxiety we all haft to learn.

Your comment gives me anxiety.

My anxiety makes me want to do this

@@curtbaskin1291 yeah but like practice in a carpark first build up some skill i aint brave enough to takle an hour long ride first go

I thought the same, jumped quite a bit there.

I was guilty of that when I started.

Ya the sound is horrible I was thinking the same thing

I think it is common fault with anyone who are not used to manual shifting in cars. If you are used to driving manual car, you will never hold the throttle open while shifting on a bike.

lol I'm fourteen and I started on a dual sport in a parking lot just practicing skills and I knew not to hold the throttle while shifting. This took guy courses how does he not know this.

chase sikes howd it go?

Joel Delgado actually post owned till tues. the car place were I sold my cars accounting deposit was closed so now it’s Gina be tues😅

Joel Delgado dropped it in a parking lot once now. Got home fine😂

chase sikes yikes

Heres a tip. Slam the throttle then drop the clutch.

Chris L.. beat advise ever! It only takes one time to catch your shoe lace on the peg and tip over like a noob. I did that once, but my lace broke before I went down. Lol.

Me too! I'll be exactly the same as him. Hope your first ride went well. Get mine in a few days. Nervous and excited!

@@aidenscott71 Hey, I crashed within a week. minor injury, bruises and stuff. Approached a turn at a faster speed than I should have. Still motivated to ride again next day. Good luck,mate. Let nothing stop you from riding!

@@Anik4Life going well so far. Really enjoying it. Getting over my nerves. No accidents yet but I stalled it today coming up a bank! 😂 Love it!

@@aidenscott71 good going! Stalling is no issue. Practice half clutch in your garage for 5mins everyday. That will give you a perfect sense of the bite of the clutch. You won't ever stall again. :) The roads in my area are too busy, and gives me anxiety attacks trying to manouever these busy streets. But, gotta learn!
