Never underestimate the learning potential in wrenching and swearing.

@Greasy__Bear Год назад

Yea my first bike was a non running honda and now Im a motorcycle mechanic. Learned a ton on my bike even if it wasnt always pleasant.

@stevec6427 Год назад

I have mentored a number of graduate engineers. I consider advanced swearing to be an important part of their training.

@adam346 Год назад

the "ease into it" is key imo. Do not be afraid to go on the road once you have your license but do not rush into high-speed situations... I started by riding around my neighborhood for a day.. the next I went onto a higher speed road at 50km/hr and after perusing around on those roads for awhile (that massively expanded the area I could go alone) I then started hitting 70-80km/hr roads for a few weeks and finally hit the open high-way/country roads (everyone pretty much drives at the same speeds on either) and then I started working on my ability to handle those speeds on a naked bike since, well, you get a lot of wind and the open country roads tend to have a lot of cross-winds... it's interesting, lets put it that way. Obey the speed limit + 10%.

I picked up a Honda CT110 as my first bike to mainly take to work and back and while she may be small, she is a blast to ride and I’ll never forget the first time I took her on the main road

@keithstone6411 Год назад

I know cruisers don't get much love on this channel but I started on a Honda shadow 750 and it is a great beginner bike. No problems on highways and handles really well.

@moolis Год назад

Don’t neglect us intermediate motorbike riders too Papa Yams!!

New rider here. I appreciate your vids and tips for us noobs. Going through my gear checklist ... helmet, gloves, boots, assless chaps, dog collar, ball gag .. WAIT, WHAT?!

@Constantine909 Год назад

Me riding for several years but watching the video anyways 😄

@scottg4669 Год назад

Years of riding doesnt equal skill. Ride safe...

@TheJunky228 Год назад

my first bike is my yamaha sr400. in the 20's for horsepower which has been plenty of power and I can go 90 no problem with it on the highway (aside from redlining due to only having 5 gears). this is such a nice bike I'm keeping it forever, even if I do get another bike (maybe adv/dirt for offroading). it's a bike that proves you don't need 50+ hp

@Dangerwiggles Год назад

KLR650 is barely any HP and mine would go 90mph in 5 gears. HP doesn't matter.

@feeko2239 Год назад

Got my first bike a few months ago, a GSR 600. Quickly learned to respect motorcycles because it was way too fast for a beginner like myself. After spending a few weekends in a parking lot practicing I eventually got the hang of it. You can start on anything if you have the right mindset!

@Kevin-hp5fk Год назад

I started on a 2007 Vstrom 650. Reliable, balenced and not crazy powerful yet more than big enough to keep me entertained and mobile for years.

@localchubbybeardedman Год назад

I bought a 05 vtx 1300 as my first bike. I got through the wrenching and swearing to get it running good. The less than 60hp thing made me feel better after everyone said congratulations on getting a bike but ONE person shamed me for getting a liter bike

@shanghei22 Год назад

I bought my first bike last week….riding is therapy riding is just what this vet needed….I have a ninja 300 and as a beginner I recommend nothing higher than a 600..also ride within your abilities….be patient….trouble will find you so fast on a bike. Respect the machine…..

@Bikencarguy Год назад

I started on a hawk 250 about a month ago. I got the bike to go to school and work which is 30 minutes on the freeway. The only thing i really like about the bike is that due to the horrible reliability i get to learn a lot about working on bikes. However redlining the bike on the freeway only to go 60 in a 65 is not comfortable at all. The duke 200 i looked at before would even be more comfortable i bet.

@MM-ig1iv Год назад

Yep it's safe for faster highway's.. upgrade a little bit that's a smart move! Be safe

@Troglodyteus Год назад

AAA wouldn’t pick up my bike once when I needed them because my membership didn’t include motorcycles at the time. It does now, but make sure you have it set up properly ahead of time to be safe and covered when you need it.♥️

Should mention that wind-chill works in reverse if its above 95°f. 100°F at 75mph feels like 108°F

@adamtschmidt4303 Год назад

Heads up triple a does not I repeat does not tow motorcycles unless you have the rv and motorcycle type of membership. This maybe because I am in socal. However, when I had a mechanical failure in Irvine, triple a jerked me around for 6 hours, until finally they said they couldn't tow me because I didnt have the right membership.

@Focuz_ Год назад

I think I just realised that yammie noob is called yam-mie noob because he started on a yam-aha r3 which is to most a beginner bike

@Jump-n-smash 4 месяца назад

I come from decades of MTB. Wondering if it would be possible to buy or customize a bike to have rear brake on the right lever, front brake on the left lever, and the clutch on the right pedal.

@stevec6427 Год назад

On the subject of adrenaline masking the pain of injury, a friend of mine tried to walk off a broken neck. Fortunately no long term harm done but could have been very, very bad

@MM-ig1iv Год назад

I'm going with a dual sport as a 40 year old beginner. Maybe the drz400 or Honda 300/ kawi 300 I just can't decide on sm or regular version when first buying. I know I can change out wheels later and that's the cool thing about it. Can't wait.

@MM-ig1iv Год назад

And yes I'll be on the road a lot more than off.. for a while anyways. I live in a rural like area where trails aren't too far away but got a lot practice to do. And will do the msf course.

@Dangerwiggles Год назад

supermoto have a ton of planted stability on the road and some off road capabilities. If you're not going to be a trail goblin definitely skip anything that has knobbies or blocks. They suck on the road.

@jacques7621 Год назад

I started with a V-Strom 650 (not enough powerful) and one month later I changed it for an FJR1300.

@ZeroKitsunei Год назад

I've been riding for 4 years now and when I picked it up I took to it like a fish to water. I still have trouble driving a manual car. I ounno what it is about controlling the clutch with my foot, but I will stall at least once in a car.

@Dangerwiggles Год назад

Cars are definitely more difficult because you can't feather the clutch.

@ogyg1007 Год назад

Do you think I should buy a zx4r considering that a ZX6r does have a low power mode which makes the same power that a zx4r have available just for this a $1000 extra I feel like the zx4r is useless

@motoBG12 Год назад

You should be fine with the zx-6r as your first bike. On the low-mid rpm it is not so fast.

@keithburt7874 Год назад

@IvoryOxen Год назад

@Yammienoob have you done a video of how to ride with a passenger?

@StratOmaster18 Год назад

Yes he has

@RobCrowley85 Год назад

I'm not seeing any love for 125s. Where I'm from, doing the CBT with a provisional license only lets you ride up to 125 and you have 2 years in which to get your full license. I know the law is likely different in your country, but why no suggestions for low cc to tide you over?

@TheJunky228 Год назад

because he's a power-happy track rat

@wolfman1662 Год назад

I've got a couple of questions for any veteran riders that may read this. Does riding ever lose it's sense of excitement? Do you get as much of a thrill riding now as opposed to your first ride?

@brucenaremore3433 Год назад

Curious what others say - there is never going to be the excitement of first riding, learning, anxiety and then succeeding and building confidence - but then you can start ENJOYING the ride and your surroundings, being outside with nature, smells, views etc.. My 2 cents.

@wolfman1662 Год назад

@@brucenaremore3433 I'm planning on doing the course this summer through my local Harley Davidson dealership.

@Dangerwiggles Год назад

I equated excitement with being secretly nervous or scared. Yes the excitement fades, because it gets a lot less scary as you get more skilled- but it just feels like the most natural thing you've ever done. If I'm not riding, I'm not happy. And the best thing is.. if the street is losing the appeal go to the track and open up a CRAZY AWESOME world.

@roberthansen9876 Год назад

Let me put it this way. When I was a teenager and got my first car I remember the freedom and independence I felt and driving it just to drive it. But that wears off quickly and your car, while still useful and required, sits in your driveway unless needed. But I (at 60) still ride my bike just to ride it. Even when you are riding just to get from point A to point B, you get the rush as an added bonus. And I don't mean riding reckless. Just accelerating from 0 to 70 on a highway is similar to the drop on a rollercoaster, with the wind rushing at you. And you don't have to go to the level of "twisties" to enjoy the dynamics of a motorcycle in curves. Any curve feels neat on a motorcycle. You are obviously more connected to the experience of movement and speed on a motorcycle than in a car. I have been fortunate and never felt the need to push my luck and ride recklessly on a bike. I ride on the interstate at 80 to 90 no problem, but with the rest of the traffic, like I do in my car. I am not passing everything and having "close calls". If you are having close calls, you are doing something wrong.:) In any event, I am fortunate that I have not had any accidents, because that usually ends the thrill real quick. When I was younger I was on the back of my friend's bike and he wrecked at a pretty good speed, and so I do know what it feels like, but he was pretty reckless (and I guess I was stupid to ride with him as well). I've since known the difference between those who use a bike to fulfill a death wish versus those who just enjoy riding a bike. Anyways, I find riding a bike in the same manner as I drive my car to be more exciting. But if you mean thrill as in pushing the limits, I can't think of anything more dangerous to get that kind of "thrill" from, than a motorcycle. I guess base jumping beats it.

@ducifer7022 Год назад

In my experience i still love riding but i have noticed every so often getting a faster and faster bike is a reoccurring problem lol

@cafloivedu Год назад

Hey Yammie what do you think of the Benelli 600i and the 752s?

@linomoto Год назад

The 752S is surprisingly reliable, sounds good and has a good power band. A tad too heavy, you won't really feel it when moving above 30km/h, but in slow manoeuvres, you do feel the weight.

@noahknight4039 Год назад

If I could turn back time I wouldn’t of started on a 650cc. I would of skipped it, saved myself the money and went straight to a 1000cc plus. But that’s me.

@MarquisDeSang Год назад

Not buying a KTM RC390 was my first mistake.

@azzans Год назад

I'm a noob, so I wanted to ask this question. I haven't bought my first bike yet, but I took an MSF course and the only motorcycle in my house is my dad's 1990 CBR600cc supersport. Its carburated and I haven't tried riding it much since everyone says not to start on a 600. But its what's available to me and I'm wondering if I should just practice on it anyway? lol Or should I just bite the bullet and go buy an R3?

@theodorecalkins4212 Год назад

Get the R3, anti-lock brakes and fuel injection will help make your life better.

@lucklesscomet4987 Год назад

It's one of those questions where you have to actually ask yourself whether or not you're going to be a goon on the 600. You already know the answer if you seriously consider it, the question is whether or not you'll be able to control yourself from being a goon when you have the potential to be one.

@Dangerwiggles Год назад

If the CBR is in good condition don't practice on it. That's a collector's bike. You will lay it down at some point while learning. Don't buy new, either. I agree with yams that working on a bike instead of riding kind of sucks BUT getting a super cheap crap bike to really throw around and not care about dropping and testing (safe) limits is invaluable.

@Giixxersquid Год назад

If you’ve never driven a manual car then you got no business driving anything less than a 250cc riders understand you gotta respect the power! Stop trying to act like everybody has to be able to handle light power before they step up

@madsfrancke6538 Год назад

I really like your channel and the content, but I think it's time to do something with that background music. Pleeeeeease!!

I'm new to the channel and I'm already seeing Harleys get no love or respect in your videos. I'm trying to like your channel but not all of us are horny for sport bikes but still want to watch bike content. Can you drop the hate and just keep giving motorcycle advice and shit?
