Ten Helpful Tips For New Riders In Ten Minutes - Riding - Maintenance - And Safety 

I like this guy. Thank you for being a full gear non showing off fellow motorcyclist. Hats off mate.

People give me grief over my safety gear, I bought a "dirt" bike but wear street gear. I bought the bike because I like the look and feel of it and the way it corners without having to lean it very much, I wear the street gear because I ride on the street. My safety my choices.

Nice video and i loved when you said “Ill rather sweat than bleed” if anybody tell any “why are you wearing all that” this will be my answer, keep on, subscribed

I love how dry his humour is! I was literally crying with laughter when he was describing the final 2 tips, and he doesn't even sound like he's smiling! 😂😂😂 Legend

Wow!! I am 40 and finally decided to pick up riding after researching for years.. watching your channel has further given me the boost I need... you definitely gained a follower here 👍🏾👍🏾

Great advise sir..I'm 43yo and I am just starting to learn to ride a motorcycle..helps me a lot.thank you

I’m just starting to ride and this was a very helpful video. I’ve heard a few experienced riders state that they rev their engines at stops to make the person coming up behind them aware that there’s a bike in front of them.

Picked up my first motorcycle yesterday! Thanks for all the great advice.

I give this video 2 thumbs up. It is very rare on RU-vid to have a factual, sensible motorcycle video.

Been riding 45 years now, great tips as always. Thanks for refresher.👊👍

Nice bro, I'm a novice rider with like 100 ish miles under my belt haha, I probably spent as much on armour as my bike costed me.

Only a few people try to keep it in brief and to the point. Only a few like you succeed.

You sir are the Bob Ross of motorcycles. Subscribed as a newbie that just bought my first bike as a 40th bday gift to myself.....a few months early.

Thanks for the video! I always enjoy "riding" along with you, safe riding and beautiful scenery. As usual, you give great advice for beginners as well as the seasoned riders. Have to say, #10 is my favorite. Anyone stunting on the road should have their license pulled on the spot.

I've been learning for a few months, this was all super useful info. Thanks bud 🤙🏾

Thanks again. I'm truly learning and enjoying your videos.

Very helpful tips! thank you so much! You earn a subscriber! :D I'm so glad you mention the gear part because I see a lot of riders wearing shorts, t-shirt with flip flops in Australia.

I love your videos, so many people can learn from this. Especially if some get a used bike and no owners manual.

Wow, your subscriber count has rocketed since my last visit, good on you, my man! Love from the UK

I've just started bike lessons before I get my cbt licence. Never been on a bike before, found it pretty anxious but great. Love the videos!

Thank you! The best and most direct motorbiking video I have ever watched. And of course, I am now subscribed! Well done buddy!

I am about to do my test this weekend. Thank you for sharing!

These are all very useful tips. And they are all things we can use and practice on a daily basis as riders. I try to keep learning and improving my riding skills. These videos you bring us help more than you know . Thx

As we are nearing the end of my riding season in Toronto, and it being my first season riding I really do appreciate these tips, most of which I have heard or thought of on my own but the informative and concise delivery of your content is excellent keep it coming and as always stay safe out there.

Last tip is the most important

Thanks for the video. Easy going ! Useful ! And with such an ambiance on the background ! Please do more video like that . It motivates to keep watching it ! Best of luck and stay safe !!

I've been riding more than 20 years and all you said is so true. Hope new riders pay attention to it!!! congrats!!!

Thank you so much for thoses tips !! I'm a beginner today and I understood what is important. A clear video with a calm voice, I like it !

I don't ever make comments on videos, but I wanted to say this is my favorite beginner video I've watched so far! I bought my first motorcycle last weekend and got my permit two days ago - subscribed!

Like you, I started riding street bikes about 3 years ago. I was 41 at the time. I have watched countless videos on RU-vid from so many different people that there is no way I could name them all. I just want to say I'm really impressed with your channel and the advice you give. I tip my hat to you. Be safe out there.

Excellent video with some great advice. I like your clear, no-nonsense style.

Thank you for keeping this concise and to the point! Keep up the good work.

Such great content. I might sound weird but your voice is smoothing and makes me pay attention to what your saying haha. Keep up the good work!

This is the single best video for new riders I have seen. I am a new rider and just got my new motorcycle so I watched this video a couple of times. Tips 1 & 2, especially, are very important (things I would never have thought of on my own).

Dude... love the routes you take. Be safe out there. Nice tips. Regards from Costa Rica, Pura Vida.

Great video. I'm just returning to biking at the age of 50 and your tips are really useful. Looking forward to your next video. Many thanks.

i love the clarity in his videos

Love watching your vids...especially when on the KVS...

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.. respect that man

Great tips for me as a new roadbiker, I used to ride motocross and endurobikes. Many thanks.

Thank you this was very useful video . Also your instructions are clear and easy to understand. I appreciate your work . You a great teacher .

Not only was this a great vid for new riders. Great for all riders 👍

Loving your videos. I made it through 47 years without any sort of licence but picked up my bike learners permit the other day. Got some gear but I'm a little short on the bike money until the beginning of January, so I've been going through a bunch of vids to get better prepared & even out the mix of excitement & fear 😂 (I do have to convert stuff from American to good old Aussie, but still a fan 😁)

Thank you for making this video just got my 1st big bike and I'm having problem with the throttle hand position this helps a lot ride safe 🍻🍻

I'm a new rider, and is just a Vespa GTS 250 but I like the way you explain things, I train people for a living, and find your style refreshing.

Looks beautiful over in the valley. Great video like always .

I've been riding for several years and I still like to watch stuff like this. Especially before spring starts and I haven't rode all winter. All it takes is 1 mistake to get hurt or killed. Always use your head and stay sharp and you should be fine. Most important piece of advice I would give someone just starting is to always expect there to be something dangerous ahead. All it takes is a few gravel or a pothole around a curve and you could wipe out. I always take it easy and watch out. And if you can't see good, don't ride. Just don't do it. You will eventually wreck because you don't see something in the road. Im always dodging gravel and grass and stuff every time I ride. My dad wrecked his scooter a few weeks ago because he couldn't see a gravel in the road and he skinned his foot and leg up really bad. All because he's too stubborn to admit he can't see good enough to ride anything with 2 wheels anymore.

I loved this video . Good advices and the last two tips are totally true lol . Great job and keep it like that 👍🏽.

Good tips again Sir, thank you :) Definitely with you there on gear and foot position, I ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs until I need to use the controls and then they're back again when the job is done, I also like how it makes me feel more connected and at one with the bike. I've been down twice, both times my own fault snatching the front brake in an emergency, since then I've been a lot more cautious and conscious of loading the suspension progressively, even though the bike has ABS, it's good riding practice. I'll give your braking tip a go though next time out and see how it feels :)

Thank you for these tips, I'm so close to be taking a class and then riding. Can't wait😊

Your videos are well constructed. I like the examples you give and show visually are a big help. Thanks Subscribed

Best advice and tips on RU-vid for riders, short and sweet. I watched it three times, thank you.

Thanks bro for those precious tips. From Andalucia Spain

This vid makes me want to ride a bike more than any bike tricks vid I’ve seen! Great tips that indeed can only come from a starting biker with a lot of self-awareness! Liked, commented & subbed!

Great summary of the essentials! 👌🏻

I am great fan of "per the manual". So true the designer is the best person to give advice on how to maintain. However, for older bikes you may have to adapt your maintenance to the new product and modifications you made or even to the aging of the bike. By the way: happy to see you back !

< 200 miles rider here. You’ve earned a new sub! Thanks man!

Nice vidio, most to a regular biker is standard practice, but your never to old to learn , all the best for the new yr, 🤟🤟 Xmas greeting from a biker in Perth WA

Im studying for the test, and have a bike already. Thanks for the tips mate

Words of wisdom thank you Sr. With my full cover up helmet I look like I am going to the moon , but I feel safer and keeps my face warm on cold weather, thank you for your riding videos.

All good advices, ride all safe and enjoy

You my friend are awesome, keep the vids going.

I've been riding for 10 years, the last two bits of advice are spot on. Don't worry about what others think about you: grow up, be mature, and be responsible for your own safety

Nice, concise, and precise. Good stuff

great video, rare to find such content and quality nowadays keep it up:)

the last few tips on here are so true.

Great tips! Thanks for the video. Agree 100%

Excellent. The yes and no examples were great.

Well done.Respectfully done

Simple and to the point. Thanks

Love your style I just got my motorcycle license and have a Yamaha xv250 and I’m practicing but need my confidence up. I go to the park and go to get coffee I’m just a 50 something, 4’10” woman riding my bike 🏍 oh you are the first RU-vid I subscribed too. I’m on it but have never subscribed 🤷🏽‍♀️✌🏽

Nice demonstration.. Great day

Cool. Helped me alot. Ride safe.

Thank you very much for this educational video I will make sure to practice your guidance and tips keep up the videos and is there any videos of getting more confident on the road as I'm new to the motorcycle life.

I love your style,good work

Wow, an owners manual enthusiast, I thought I was the only one.

Very peaceful voice, makes those tips more honest. Will keep them in mind while learning on my motorcycle.

Once again great advice . One thing about tire pressure . Guys with duel sports change their tire pressure according to the terrain they will be riding on . I have a Dual Sport but this hasn't come up for me as I just have 300 miles of practice time on it . For my safety I ride with my pod lights on all the time . Don't care if it's not legal at night . The headlight that comes with the DR650 is laughable . I do tilt the 1500 lumen pods down a bit so the main area illuminated is about 20 feet to 60 feet or so in front of me . Those lights compliment the weak headlight very well . I did buy a DOT LED replacement headlight but that little job will be a bit more technical than the other improvements I have made , mainly because they say you probably have to cut away some plastic to get it right . Don't want to botch that . Every ride has so far confronted me with some sort of challenge be it large or small . Usually deer are involved , I go pretty slow on this windy one plus laner that goes through the coastal hills . Absolutely beautiful country . Always see deer and the closer to dusk the more I see in and around the road . Not to mention quale rabbits and hawks . Had an Owl fly over my path 2 evenings ago , totally awesome . Had a deer cross the highway in front of me the same evening , not awesome . I was doing 10 mph less than the speed limit and thankfully it ran across out of danger . One thing I do when I ride in deer areas is slow down and give a few beeps of my horn . If it's starting to get a little dark I will flash the high beams also , anything to give the animal pause to think before acting or to scare it the other way . It works pretty well so far .

Excellent advice 👍

Great video! Valid points!

Very important and good video👍

Good tips for even experienced riders 👍

Brilliant video

Outstanding!

I totly agree with all your tips.
