Every time I see one of these POV bike videos in my recommendations, it pushes me closer and closer to buying one. Might as well put the license to use. Cinamoroll has a great seat.
@Aviousr3 Agreed, Just make you start on something small and get you some good gear! It saved my butt big time this past November when a truck pulled out in front of me at a light, It was the end of my first season and I made a rookie mistake not using more rear then front brake.. realized I wasn't gonna stop and put my left foot down like that was gonna help... Foot went under the peg and snapped my ankle then immediately hit the front right corner of the truck and got ejected into it chest first. Which I had full NBT gear on but no chest protection... I thought I was having a heart attack lol. But I'm walking now bike is almost fixed, Hoping to be back out within a couple of weeks at most
Not criticism , but be aware of your lane position .all of the leaking oil and antifreeze will be in the center of the lane .Also you need the mirrors to watch your back at stop Ights in case someone doesn't get stopped. Finally and most important, you are invisible to most cage drivers , they do not see you .have fun but stay safe.
This is kinda cool, most bike channels riding in the big city at night or beautiful days every single post but seeing something similar to home, semi country side with the clouds out is pretty cool. For some reason we've been receiving so much more rain than normal and multiple tornado sightings which is rare for my state. Bikes seem so cool but my parents are strictly against it and the weather in North Carolina is really bad... It was 90 degrees yesterday and tomorrow it will be 54 :/
yo, my parents were against riding for the longest time. I had been asking them since I was 13 and they finally said yes when I turned 18. You just gotta explain to them that you will wear your gear and take the safety courses. (or just keep asking until they give up)
I’ve heard legends of LA traffic. A friend of mines who lives in DC went there for work a month ago and he said it was unexpected how bad it is. A least you can split there. Be safe.
The purple looks sick. Need to get some leds for night riding that light up with the throttle control making it look like mace windus Saber from star wars. I saw one like this last summer on a night ride with friends. Brought a tear to my eye.
@BikeGoZoom I guess that's true. It's good to stand out in a way so they see you, but yes, I understand too much is distracting, and they don't pay attention as it is.
hey i love that bike i test rode that exact one where i live its a great starter i plan on making bike content when i get my active duty station for my army unit
Try and get used to riding with two fingers over the clutch and the brake lever. It will save your ass in the street but if you ever get into track riding the two fingers is a no no. Also, get to a parking lot and practice rev matching from either 4th to 3rd or 3rd to second. I noticed you also grab the clutch super early while pulling up to stop signs and lights. No need for that being on an R3 the engine breaking on those bikes are heavy so that will slow you down. This is coming from someone who owned an R3. Bike was awesome for commuting and hitting the twisties! Be safe out there my fellow rider!
I was thinking the same thing. Also don’t shift into neutral at a stop, if you have to, wait for a vehicle behind you to stop first. I’m always covering the brake in the city, learn rev matching. When in the left lane, position 3 is where you should be. Oh, when shifting, slightly back off on the gas lol, you are pulling in the clutch with gas still on.
