That entire ride was scary, he didn't stop at stop signs and he didn't look both ways before pulling out; you could feel something was gonna happen. Dude has courage and is not afraid to ride a big bike but he needs a lot of training so he will not get hurt or killed.

A great example of a new/unexperienced rider who grabs the biggest heaviest bike they can get. The inexperience is so evident in the way he cornered, and the fact that he was so afraid to slow the bike down and stop at any of the signs.

@irocker350 Месяц назад

Yep, one of my co-workers was a brand new rider and wanted to buy a Hyabusa, being an experienced rider for over 30 years I counseled him to think something a LOT less extreme than a Hyabusa and he would kill himself on one. He ended up getting a 88 Honda Hurricane, (the Busa gave him a case of sticker shock) so he went with the older Honda, it was a nice bike but sure enough, he promptly wrecked it and was lucky to suffer only minor injuries

@rexmericle5068 Год назад

If I may suggest, find a large parking lot, like a shopping plaza that is closed on Sunday or even an abandoned one, then work on your throttle and brake combination. Learn to turn with the clutch in the "friction zone" not fully engaged and use slight pressure on the rear brake to hold the power. When you master slow turns, the rest follows naturally. Practice is the key. Even at 70 whenever I get a new (to me) ride I practice until I know the bike. I'm 5' 7" and ride a 94 GoldWing so yeah I had to practice! :-)

Most folks don't realize motorcycles have a, " wet clutch". That is to say, the engine oil is designed to lubricate the clutch pack (multi-disc clutch pack). So, you can use part clutch like part throttle or braking. Makes low-speed maneuvers way easier!

Two major things are wrong: He cannot and should not drive a bike this big for the first time out. And…posting this on the RU-vid for all to see. He should practice figure 8’s and circles before mowing down children and pets in the suburbs. In my estimate, he got on a bike weighing about 840lbs wet.

@jbdub08 Год назад

I can relate to this. I’d been riding sport bikes for 20 years, and the first time I jumped on a Harley it felt like I’d never ridden before. Those big heavy cruisers handle so much differently than everything else. Definitely a learning curve.

So don't tell people everyone does something so they think they are ridding correctly or learning correctly. By saying that you encourage them to continue riding without proper protective gear or training. Even his friend telling him to throttle up when he is about to drop it was ignorant. He dropped it because he did not have the handle bars square while stopping. You and see it plainly.

Hell, if someone is behind me and I see ah stop sign way up there, I'll clutch it at 30mph, tap down ta neutral and take my sweet time coasting up to the stop sign. Ta hell with the guy behind me , I'm the one on the bike. Then on takeoff I use the clutch only for 1st gear , after first, I just let off the gas n shift each time. Good job bro. Just keep doing exactly what you did and you'll get great at it. God bless.

Learning on a BIG harley is a tough ask. Good job on you though to not worry about the scrapes and bruises. I would say learn on a small bike first so you understand weight transfer first then go back to the harley.

imagine him trying to turn a corner from a stop. that's why he never stopped. he proved that on his first stop. almost whiskey'd it from the start too.

@andrewlepicier8240 11 месяцев назад

On a new... unfamiliar... bike you should always work the clutch just to find where it breaks loose. Power walk it. Take it on a slow ride in 1st and do a loop or two. Maybe a figure 8 or two. Then slow ride a shift into 2nd then down shift to 1st a couple times. THEN go ride it. If he had done a power walk he wouldnt have high reved it at first

'The bikes all good man, you just need a new crash bar and you're good to go'...$1000 of Harley tax later 😂

Definitely not an easy bike to learn on ! You gotta start somewhere. Go to a parking lot and practice starting and stopping. Learn the clutch and you'll be fine! Good luck bro and stay safe!

He has a good attitude. He'll get it with time and lot's of practice.

Just a bit small for the bike no probs. Something a bit smaller..thinner and lighter for a while. Gotta be able to straddle it and stand up and hold the bike.

@Da_Lolo Год назад

Try going to a big ope lot and try slow maneuvering, stop and go.

@Delta_Force12 Год назад

The best thing when you are learning how to ride you really need to get a smaller bike like the Iron 883 don't start out with a big bike like a road king and learn with the smaller bike then work your way up.

@jamesdean9943 Год назад

Seem the first time riding a motorcycle or one in a very long time! With any motorcycle you are not familiar with. Start like you would in MSF class. Find the friction zone, moving back and forward a few feet. Find the throttle resistance etc.

Man thanks for this video, the confidence I just gain from watching this is insane. I was a crotch rocket driver and i just got my Harley today and I did the same exact thing as you. I was nervous starting off and I dropped my bike just like this. The next day I got on I had better confidence, say that to say this keep going and master it. Because I coulda sworn I though I was the only one they didn’t know what I was doing

@danielleeclingansr6032 Год назад

Experience is the best teacher ! If he drops it again I would be surprised!

@Samtastic06 Год назад

This looks like my first ride off the lot, I dropped it and told myself to nut up or shut up! I'm practicing and getting better everyday and so will this guy!

@Zero_cool79 Год назад

Happenes to tye best of us at some point. Learn from it and enjoy the ride. Remember to use that clutch cut power.

@MarkKelly1307 3 месяца назад

From the moment he was "adjusting" in the seat prior to take off, I could see how this was gonna go down

@wendelllissimore9976 Год назад

Don't worry about it bro, I dropped my Road King plenty when I first started and I still drop it every now and again. Good luck!

@FZ1RIDER Год назад

Bike riding isn't for everyone but if it's what you really want to do and you have absolutely no experience do yourself a favor and start out small like a 883 sportster or in my opinion something like a ninja 250,300, etc and then move up to the big boy bikes. I started on a ninja 250 and I tell everybody that the mistakes I made on a 250 would have caused me to wreck if I made the same mistakes on my fz1, a little more seat time and you'll get it figured out, it's all about throttle and clutch control, good luck and keep riding.

Don't sweat it, man. I dumped mine, in the driveway at a stop the first time or two that I rode it! Dummy me, I forgot to put the kickstand down! Oopsie! I got my left foot, that, years ago, got squished by a 4-ton forklift in the Ford foundry in Cleveland stuck under the bike. Had my helmet on yet and hit my head on a pit bbq I had in the driveway. Bike is unhurt though. '18 V Star 250 Lowrider Custom Cruiser. I thought a bike that's 326lbs wet would be easier to handle? That's still about a hundred pounds more than me! Those Harleys are heavy beasts by comparison! So, keep yourself straight upright, and don't lean the bike or the sheer weight of it will take you down with it!

Lol, life advice - "...it's your bike, you gonna have to get it together..." 😅

@JohnSmith-fw2et 11 месяцев назад

I took my states motorcycle riding safety course. It's a wise course to take for any level of rider, especially if you don't have a lot of experience. It's been a year now and every time I ride I use information and technique I learned from that course. Motorcycle riding is all about technique, I rode today and had 3 errors of not ideal technique. Tomorrows ride will be all about finding a place and practicing riding technique.

@mastershake4237 11 месяцев назад

The big Harleys actually require a more delicate touch compared to lighter bikes. They are very easy to drop when coming to a stop. You have to anticipate stopping long before you actually do, and practice coming to a gradual, smooth stop. The handle bars must be straight. You also have to slow down more before turning. I try to think of it like driving a big suv in the snow in winter time. Go easy on the brakes. Once you get the feel for it though it gets better.

@stimey4477 Год назад

I would’ve been like Robert Duvall in Days of thunder after cruise said he watched racing on espn. “Look, I ain’t gonna let you drive this today”. Especially after the initial start out of the driveway. Dude needs some classes. He can get there but damn if my stomach wasn’t twisted after watching this.

@brummettt1 3 месяца назад

Everyone should start out on a small dual sport/enduro bike Learn before you leap bro. Be safe and happy riding to all!!!

@gregorydahl 11 месяцев назад

Its just as much fun learning to ride it as it is to show others someday . Im just watching having fun

@psjasker Месяц назад

Oh man! Everytning was going so good. We have all been there - those bikes are heavy. Sounds awesome though

@circuitmonkey6653 10 месяцев назад

I hit the like button because when the bike fell, no one panicked or threw a fit. I intentionally drop my bike when teaching first lesson. Get over the shock right away. Then we learn how to pick it up correctly and without hurting ourselves. Good job. The rest..... the rider really needs to spend some time practicing with the friction zone, using the rear brake at slow speed, picking up and putting down the left foot and leaving the right foot up where it belongs. That should happen in a parking lot with plenty of room and not on the street where other traffic can cause issues. Be safe.

@fredwilley3886 6 месяцев назад

I can see him come crashing into a bike night somewhere with the rap blasting. Lmfao

@russreynolds649 Год назад

Wow. The guy that picked it up was super nice and encouraging. I would have been cursing.

@briefcaseblues6061 Год назад

I was high once sitting on my bike and lost my balance as soon as I kicked the stand up. I couldn't stop it from falling over, had to gradually let it happen lol

@TruthandnothingbutTHEtruth. Год назад

You shouldn’t keep gears low you should always shift up and shift down when slowing down. I started with a sportster and went straight to a road king, although road kings are pretty big and heavy I handle it pretty well, it won’t fall if you position bars or tired correctly with the right balance.

@andrewabbott2656 Год назад

I'm so glad for my bike it's light enough that there's no real struggle lifting it. I hate lifting bikes that way.

@jacemiller2593 Год назад

Well, the problem is. So many people think it’s like riding a bicycle. There is a lot to do at the same time. Brake, traffic, balance, look a head. Put your feet down 20’ before you stop.
