As much as lane splitting helps to alleviate traffic, I don't do it anymore, 3 different times I've had cagers do everything from swerving in front of me, to try to squish me against the cement divider.

Facts. I've had nearly 10 accidents on street & track. Only one involved anything other than myself and it was a dog. It's fun to listen to noobies talk about how crazy car drivers are only to know if you're experienced and watching the cars you can anticipate their moves 99.9% of the time and avoid it before it ever becomes an issue. When I first started riding I made some (bad) youtube videos and I had a lot of "stupid people" content. I stopped making videos after a while because genuinely nothing was ever happening to me again, it was so few and far between it wasn't worth making content.

6:05 no (four-stroke) engine in the world needs "backpressure". What it needs is the lower-pressure "trough" at the exhaust valve when it is open, between backpressure pulses, to improve scavenging. Two-stroke engines do need backpressure to push some of the fuel-air mixture back into the exhaust slit. But that is a different story entirely.

@TheChikyChiky 5 месяцев назад

I was going to comment this, MotoIQ did a wonderful video talking about exhaust design and back pressure. There was a comment by another individual that I feel said it best that the myth of "Engines need some back pressure" came from a misunderstanding from using runners, collectors, and exhaust piping that were too large that caused exhaust to lose velocity too quickly thus hindering performance. But because most people would rather parrot the same thing they have heard over and over (In this case, being PapaYam on what 'the old car guys' said), myths that have been disproven are perpetuated. Almost like there was some subject about myths that have been debunked...

@@TheChikyChiky Parroting crap people hear.....a plague in America these days! I am glad you took the time to present the facts. In a very simple explanation....back pressure is the enemy of an air pump. It literally pushes back on the piston. We want better flowing heads, and yadda, yadda to introduce resistance through back pressure negating said bits to make things flow better. Makes no sense to me. Flow charechteristic and velocity is what matters. Now enter the anecdotal evidence purveyors to refute our claims.

Who taught these ppl that you must be able to flat foot when you stop! In 45 years and 5'7" and 45 plus m/cycles I dont think I have owned one I can flat foot. If flat footing was a prerequisite to owning a 'bike then the industry would never have sold a single motocrosser EVER! Learn to ride a 'bike ppl.

@s0meguy809 5 месяцев назад

It's also a myth that engines need backpressure. The exhaust needs to be tuned to the size, configuration and operating range of the engine, but it has nothing to do with backpressure. It has everything to do with velocity and exhaust pulse tuning.

@stevec6427 5 месяцев назад

The pressure is what is used to control velocity and pulsing though.

@s0meguy809 5 месяцев назад

@@stevec6427 The diameter of the pipe and the length is what's used to control velocity. Smaller diameter pipe will have more velocity but less flow potential so it'll limit power at higher rpms but gain low speed torque. The same applies to the intake side of the engine.

It will be interesting to see if the new 20mph urban limits in Wales lead to lower accident rates or lower rates of serious injuries and death in accidents. At least in my car, I can use cruise control to maintain 30mph but I have to use manual control to keep to 20mph, so I then then have less attention for watching the road.

100% disagree, loud pipes absolutely make you more noticeable to a car. I don’t even understand the logic. Noise draws more attention than silence.

@peterscully4961 4 месяца назад

I thought the "back pressure" myth was put to bed 40 years ago! You will often make less power with a straight pipe or zoomies because the valve overlap was calculated for the draw of the stock exhaust, back pressure is never a good thing on a modern 4-stroke which is why they go to so much trouble to produce huge baffled mufflers with as little restriction as possible.

full face actually prevents me from seeing the speedo without tilting my head.

as if you have a reason to actually pay attention to your speedo. Put a helmet on.

Full face actually also prevents you from having to eat through a tube if you crash.

@lasskinn474 5 месяцев назад

@@zeepro_tv the reason I know I can't see the speedo on my bike without tilting my head is because i use the full face helmet most of the time. just saying that there's other directions than just left and right. not seeing your hands also makes it harder to drive with a broom in one hand and 20 kilos of cat litter on the tank but i digress.

fact: the only motorcyclist I have ever heard camped out in my blind spot before I saw it, was a BMW with factory quiet exhaust. Harleys just blend in with my own engine noise.

"Loud pipes/bikes save lives" is only told so THOSE riders have an excuse to deafen everyone remotely near a road

@gohjohan 5 месяцев назад

Myth #1 is a fact. My previous motorcycle, Honda VTX 1300S(R) has a tank mounted instrument panel. With the full face helmet, I have to look down at the panel to check my speed and mileage. I need the mileage because after 200km, the bike has to refuel. There is no fuel gauge on that bike, so I rely on the mileage. The rest of the myth are pretty spot on maybe except for the last one about older European bikes from last century. Don't buy those bikes that are manufactured on Monday, Friday and pay day!

When I watch your videos I noticed no body wearing hi-viz jackets. I found loud pipes don't really help because other drivers turkey neck looking for the location of the sound.

About the louder is more power, very efficient design are actually not that loud, think LMP1 or LMHP, Even curent Formula one are really quiet compared to V10 or V8 era ones, and they are way more powerfull with way smaller engines.

All I know is, when filtering thru stopped or slow traffic, the pops and bangs make most cars part like the Red Sea.

@Yeebok 5 месяцев назад

Please use filtering instead of splitting. Not sure of other countries, but Australia defines filtering as travelling between lanes in slow moving traffic, and splitting as doing it in traffic doing 30km+. Filtering is generally ok but splitting isn't.

@kidmosey 2 месяца назад

lane filtering is good, but lane splitting relies too much on other drivers being competant, which breaks rule #1 of defensive driving.

I once laid my bike down heading into an intersection. I had my (then future) wife on the back. I had entered the left-hand turn lane and was slowing down anyways because the light was already yellow changing to red. But, I hit a patch of oil or transmission fluid left by some cager and, with the brakes fully engaged, continued to slowly slide forward towards the intersection like the concrete was a sheet of ice. I laid the bike down before we got into the intersection so that we didn’t get t-boned by a car legally entering the intersection. I don’t remember if any cars (or trucks!) entered the intersection after I laid it down because I was too busy making sure we were both okay. That was more than 30 years ago, but I stand by my decision to lay the bike down in this case because of the potential for hugely tragic consequences otherwise. So, there's your reason, Yammie.

@RussRyan7713 5 месяцев назад

I notice a lot of people say they are a short rider at 5' 6 or 7 and ride tall bikes all the time. However any truly short rider would say "I have a 28" inseam". Inseam is all that matters for being able to touch the ground both sides even if it's just ball of your feet. I know people who are 5 9 but have 29" inseam and also some women who are 5 2 but have 31" inseam. Height doesn't matter. Agreed there are methods to riding tall bikes for people with a short inseam but at some point with opposite camber and a suprise stop you will eventually drop it. Ride safe all.

The number one cause of motorcycle accidents (per insurance claims) is “single vehicle loss of control”. Be it excessive speed, alcohol/drugs, inexperience, or mechanical issues. You are likely your own worst enemy. Maintain your bike, ride within your limits, and wear your gear…. Let me say that again… WEAR YOUR GEAR!!!

I will say here in Yokohama, it does get too hot for "ME" to ride. the humidty is 90%ish plus 90 degrees weather and being in a helmet is no fun. I have resolved this issue by driving my car with AC! hahahaha Winter temps drop to 0 degree C guess what I drive my car with heat. I've done the MC as a daily driver in North Florida. So yeah no shame here. Make accommodations that don't get you killed. You ride you wear your gear.

MSF: lane splitting does not reduce accidents or increase safety. In fact, you are more likly to have an accident where you are found at fault. Why it is illegal in 49 of 50 states.

@randybrown8473 3 месяца назад

my BIG problem with a full face helmet is not vision restriction but hearing restriction and no matter how you rationalize it lane splitting is stupid and dangerous. also it causes car drivers to hate us even more. they think we are arrogant and that we think it's all about us.

@IgorMuller Месяц назад

Dear Yammie! We have a legally allowed lane splitting in Russia. What does it look like? Well, 90 percent at a time it lookse like a brother going +20mph over trafic squizing between you and nearby car just because he can. It is not safe, it does not improve road situation, it causes a lot of negativity towards biker crowd in general. My stance is very simple - lane splittin should be illegal universally, while lane flitering, on the other hand, is just great. It helps with exactly issues you mention - less rear ending, better use of road space, etc. And again my friend, this is coming from a novice but quite grown up moto enthusiast, who is also a 20 years auto enthusiast. Legal lane splitting promotes terrible and unsafe behavior from those moto bros who are waaay less responsible then you (and me, and other who respect safety above everything else while driving). And there are plenty of those moto bros, trust me. I would vote no lane splitting hands down - and I am biker myself.

@andyaptc2907 5 месяцев назад

In Asia we lane split and many people here want to be in the fastest lane so they attempt to cross over, so be in a low gear at the right speed and ready with your brakes; stationary traffic safer than moving off traffic; some guys frighten me with the speeds to go down moving traffic!
