Join me as I ride my Harley Davidson Street Glide Special to Pakenham Bike Night and discuss the top 5 mistakes that beginner Harley riders make - and how to avoid them.

I'm very glad to see some one telling new riders about safety. You need to tell your Viewers about safety course's because they are the best way to learn how to ride and they teach riders on what you are saying

I received my motorcycle license in1967. I am now 73. It was drilled into my brain early on by my elderly motorcyclist neighbor,” as a motorcyclist you ( and only you) are 100 percent responsible for your own well being. The other driver may have been in the wrong, but you will still be dead. Take that responsibility seriously!

@youareIndenial981 19 дней назад

It was put to me as ... on a motorcycle you DO NOT have the right away.

Also the smallest car will still win.... I had determined in my experiences people tend to bunch up in packs.... Sometimes it's easier to let them go on ahead and trail them until it's time to stay ahead of the next pack creeping from behind....

@mortondavisproductions7578 3 месяца назад

Great points. When I am riding and realize that I am feeling tense, I consciously tell myself to relax... and I ease my grip, relax my arms and do a few side-to-side neck stretches and so on. I realize that if I am feeling tense then I won't be able to flow as quickly and that could spell disaster if I must react quickly to save my life by avoiding an accident. Also, I realize that tension has its roots in how I am thinking, so along with loosening a tight grip and such, I remind myself to enjoy the ride and relax, relax, relax... while remaining alert. Thanks again, especially for your humor.

Got back on a HD Road King about 7 years ago and loving it. Enjoy riding and have no problem avoiding the poor drivers while sitting back and letting them demonstrate their madness! I find that most people are still respectful...but not as much as 20 years ago! My main problem has been distracted drivers with phones etc.

I agree that you need to keep a safe distance from traffic, but the throttle is not the only way to achieve it. Everyone cannot be faster than everyone else. Mathematically impossible. Handy gadgets also hanging from the handlebars: Mirrors. Use them. Find your space in traffic and keep it. Senseless to chase everything in front of you

I grew up on a dirt bike. Loved riding baja in Saudi Arabia back in the 80s. In riding my '21 Road Glide these days, I have been in two situations where my dirt bike riding skills kicked in. Was surprised how well the bike handled when having to stop to avoid a collision. More over, loved the way the bike handled when a timber was thrown(cement truck) in front of my bike. I went over the timber at 70 mph and achieved flight. LOL Lost both tires and wheels but not a scratch on the bike. Harley Davidson helped me with those parts - truly amazing on HD's part. Being relaxed and alert(ready to react) on your bike will take you far.

@laurencetilley9194 3 месяца назад

I have been ridding motorcycles for more than 50 years. These are 5 brilliant pieces of advise that many seasoned riders never learn. Lane splitting is illegal in some states so be careful. Older bikers don't stop riding, they downgrade. The only people that knock Harley's are those that have never owned one. Well done mate.

@crockett11000 3 месяца назад

@Viewson2s 3 месяца назад

I agree. It’s illegal here in Atlanta as well. Also agree about the ones who’ve never owned a Harley

@chuckwagon1892 5 дней назад

Lane splitting is asking for trouble. And yes, it's illegal everywhere except California. There are several good reasons why it's illegal. I might be wrong, but I believe the huge traffic backups and the likelihood of bikes and riders overheating are a consideration I'm California. Please correct me if I am wrong. Secondly, this notion of riding faster than traffic is misleading. Overtaking vehicles to find a spot with room around you (front, back, and side) and settling in and maintaining a good following distance will save your life and save you from speeding tickets. Of course, conditions change, and you'll have to adjust.

good advice there, looking at other vehicles front wheels especially, I've had drivers turn into me while they are actually looking at me!. my two cents here, I ride different styles of bikes these days, but I find that riding a cruiser with forward controls allows more use of the rear brake, as your foot is usually right on it, compared with a bike where you have to move your whole foot to apply the brake, good for steadying when filtering at low speeds.

A very dear friend of mine once told me when I started out riding motorcycles, 'in the first 5 years of riding the likelihood of crashing where you break a bone is over 90%, after that it drops to less than 10%.' Boy oh boy was he right. Almost 5 years to the day I had a crash and broke my arm and spent 2 weeks in the hospital. That was 1993. Baggy died this past January. He was a day shy of his 60th birthday. I really miss my friend 😢

So much nicer watching you give helpful tips without the ego of a Danny Hayes / M$B on motorcycles on RU-vid. Still got the Sport Glide, 65, but added a new BMW R1250 GS Trophy bike to the collection. Nice upright seating position, plush suspension, pretty good wind protection, and no comparison how much nicer it is on 2 lane roads and highways, in the twisties. I mention it, just in case you want to give it a try, or maybe try a Pan America. Like the BMW so much, I'm off to Baja California, Mexico for a 5 day ride. Cheers, Mate!

@paulbertorelli9044 Месяц назад

I'm not a Harley rider, but great tips in this video. Good on ya for encouraging splitting and filtering. Here in the U.S., not many states allow it, but even at that, many riders are scared of it because they think it's riskier than it is. I like the question: How do you know you're a good rider? You oughta do an entire video on that. Another topic is how to get Harley riders to stop duck walking at slow speed. It's fairly common around here in Florida.
