I took a diving class once. Only guy who never donned gear before so I was left behind and only got thru half the class. Lesson learned, so I didn't want to start the MSF class being the only guy who never shifted a bike before. A friend took me to his farm to practice on his 100cc. I learned how to take off and shift that day. Then I bought a used 250 that I still have and practiced weekly at the school parking lot. Then I took the MSF class and as I predicted, everybody had some experience on cycles so I'm glad I did what I did and not be the only person in that class with zero experience.

@Saucey65 3 года назад

Honestly wish more people would emphasize the importance of a light motorcycle as a first bike. I was recommended certain heavy bikes to look at because they were slower and tamer so when I did my MSF on a Z125 no problem, when I got my first bike and started off on my first ride I dropped it at zero miles an hour several times just because I wasn't used to something several hundred pounds heavier. I was overly cautious in a lot of respects when I learned to ride, but the weight factor was something I never once considered and it caught me.

@albertomendoza2251 2 года назад

I ended up sitting out after the 6th exercise because I wasn't comfortable cruising in second. I would've liked to spend an hour in first gear just getting the hang of being on a bike. Excited to get out to a big parking lot this week and practice at my own pace!

@jaimegamez6253 2 года назад

Sounds like my experience. Only made it halfway thru the first day, and getting 3 attempts to perfect a move before moving on, so I couldn't keep up. The course only crushed what little hope and confidence I had. I'm practicing in a parking lot now, but the slow maneuvers are still beyond me. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't attempt the msf again, I'd rather just take the dmv test when it's time.

I jumped straight into the MSF without ever having ridden a motorcycle period. It really wasn't that hard. The instructor was awesome. He laid out the rules, did the paper test snd then same day we hit the course. 2nd day of course I was doing just fine. I was actually better than most veteran riders there. Two people failed, unfortunately. And one of those people were looking to get a motorcycle license to be a motorcycle cop. Which it is probably better he doesn't do that. High speed chases on a vehicle you don't quite understand the physics of is not a good idea. Wouldn't want to see him in the paper dead after he wrecks at high speed. Anyway. I think the biggest thing is that people shouldn't be afraid. Number one. Don't be afraid. There is a difference in being afraid and respecting the machine. I would always respect the machine. The machine is unforgiving and has no conscience. It is not alive. So it's up to you to control the machine safely. I do thus everyday in my field of work. I work with electricity and have seen a lot of people die doing it. Same goes here. Respect it. It isn't a toy. Number two. Actually practice safety. The road isn't the track. No matter how many people you see on RU-vid acting stupid doing wheelies at 50mph plus on the highways and streets. Don't do this. It isn't a competition. It's point A to point B ALIVE. Don't be stupid. Wear your gear, practice safety, pay attention to your speed. Be safe. I have never wrecked a vehicle of my own accord. And there's a reason for that. I always practice safety. And now, I am even more aware of my surroundings since my wreck that happened because of a drunk driver. All I can say is pay attention to this video and be smart, safe, and alive.

Coming across a bit boastful. And people can't really just choose not to feel some fear or anxiety or awkwardness the very first time they ride a motorcycle. People have different psychologies. Some people just experience stronger fear or anxiety responses in that situation. Also a lot of people don't have particularly great coordination or balance on a natural intuitive level and need to spend a little time building up those particular neural networks to develop some muscle memory before they can begin to operate the bike cleanly.

had to buy my own bike to practice lmao bought it monday, dropped it in the dirt near the dude's driveway twice within my first 5 minutes then i rode it around. got it back home. rode around my neighborhood practicing slow maneuvering and clutch usage and got comfortable with turning at speed now as well. went for my first rides yesterday and it was fun 👁 ninja 250 definitely feels fast i seldom even use the front brake, mostly just downshifting and using the rear brake as a signal then slowly coasting to a stop in a lower gear, eventually clutch in and some front brake if i gotta brake faster im learning lets goo

I’m in the UK, where the license journey for a motorcycle is in 4 parts…a theory test, Compulsory Basic Training (CBT…equivalent of your MSF I’m guessing, but only lets you ride a 125cc and expires after 2 years, take your full test before then or you have to do it again 🙄), Module 1 slow speed manoeuvring around a test area, and finally Module 2 road riding 😂 total cost if going through a training school can be well over 2 grand! I bought a £1000 CB600 SF, a £100 trailer, and taught myself the fundamentals watching RU-vid videos and practicing on car parks (hence the trailer) and then took the tests and saved myself a fair bit of cash 😂👌🏽

@megachill 3 года назад

Good habits start with holding the clutch when turning on. You ask why? Well there is still bikes out there that allow you to turn them on when gear is in and the bike might not be in neutral. Also teach people on just letting the clutch go as the bike will die, people should learn this.

Got my first bike today and totally panicked with my feet down all while whiskey throttling. I kept my composure and remembered that the clutch disconnects all the power so I came out of that panic. I went around the block and back home. Tomorrow I'm going to go though these exercises and hopefully get it down. The bike for those curious is a 1982 Kawasaki kz750 CSR. Yes I know to much power to begin on but I'm a broke boy and I needed the power to keep the bike for awhile

@MBVTemjin 3 года назад

Took an MSF course a few weeks ago. The instructor rushed us through the riding parts and ended classes early. He didn't really let us get used to actually handling the bikes. He also kept putting me on a different bike each time, so I couldn't even get used to how one handled before getting put on one that had a completely different seating position and weight. He wasted my money and my vacation time. I don't have any more vacation to take an MSF course, so all I can do is get a bike and practice by myself.

I took the MSF course almost 18 years ago and just bought my first motorcycle during the pandemic. I went with my Friend and his dad. The instructor was a personal friend of my uncles, but didnt know that when i signed up for the course. Being 18, I felt enormous pressure to not screw up or fail a section because my either my friend would say something or my uncle would say something. I was one of those kids that grew up on his bicycle and already had more than my fair share of road rash. I remember the entire time being in the class wanting to leave the parking lot and go ride around the block by the end of day 2. TL;DR if you feel comfortable on a bicycle, you'd be amazed at how fast you get comfortable on a motorcycle. Even faster if you have any practice with a manual transmission.

I'm glad we have mandatory driving-shool if you want to get a licence where i'm from. On average you have to take 20-30 lessons 45 minutes each to have a chance to pass the test Clothing: As a beginner i'd advice to invest in some motorcycle-boots (along with helmet + gloves). If you drop your bike (and a good number will at some point during the learning-phase wich i consider 2+ years depending on the miles and circumstances you drive) it's better if your ankle is safe from getting smashed by the falling bike. 2-Finger-Breaking: Better not start with a bad habit (i'm guilty of that one too unfortunatly) - in an emergency-situation you want all 4 fingers on the break. Missed some of the (imho) important things: - Never break with your frontbrake if your handlebar isn't straight (you might get away on a light bike or with a little bit of steering - you won't have a chance on holding a heavy one turned 50% or more) - emergency-stop -> Clutch+brake. In a stress-situation (you're going too fast too quick) centrifugal force will pull you back and so pulling on the throttle going even faster. Clutch saves you (but not your ears ;) ) - Keeping your head up high is great - but "looking at a fixpoint without fixating" won't work. You got to look where you want your bike to go (-> away from the danger - be it a tree, car or the sidewalk) You're right in "riding a motorcycle isn't difficult" - but coming home safe is.

Today they were apparently going to do topspeed runs on his brand new ZX10R, that's just fucking insane that you can go from nothing to a literbike without no training at all, do a licensetest where vehicle control isn't even important enough to be checked.

Nice try, but my advice to new riders, skip this video and take the MSF instead. This video did not cover many important dynamic positions of a motorcycle, like when braking, make sure the steering is always straight, otherwise the bike is prone to fall. If you follow this video, knowing nothing else, you will drop the bike.

@ZediMaster 3 года назад

This video also did not cover what happens when the bike stall, another very important dynamic position. When a bike stalls, it will jerk, if you are not prepare for it, you may drop the bike. When the bike is falling beyond the point of no return, make sure to clear your footing away from the bike, otherwise you may break your ankle.

Don't take it until you know the basics and have practiced the basics in a driveway, parking lot or lawn with a good rider, otherwise, you're wasting your time. Never having ridden before, the MSF course was brutal...I had no concept of shifting, clutch, etc. And the instructors go fast and are impatient. They've been riding for YEARS and have no concept of the difficulty involved for total beginners! I failed the first two tests: one for going over a cone after a couple hours of practice under the hot sun... and the first time I popped the clutch and ended up on the pavement. I've now been riding my Harley for over a decade...but I've heard too many stories about people who have never had any experience with motorized bikes... and failed the MSF course.
