I find that as a newbie riding on the highway or twisty roads is relatively easy as long as you don't go mad and ride like a bat out of hell. The really exhausting and stressful bit is riding in really dense urban rush hour traffic.
@NONO-hz4vo
@NONO-hz4vo 2 года назад
Riding through 3-5 lanes on surface streets with stop lights is definitely worse than the freeway in my opinion. You have a ton of people all trying to get in the lane moving 2mph faster than the one they are in or running through a yellow at 20mph over and all kinds of other stupid activities. What exacerbates the problem is you generally don't have room to move in as you are surrounded by vehicles. Ideally I want to be passing the guy in front of me at +5-10mph always till I am in front not as easy in 3 lanes of urban traffic. Rural roads are a blast but where I live they also have something to rival the stupidity of a bad driver. Deer. Stupidest animal ever in regards to how streets and their life ending relates.

@himalayanman7071
@himalayanman7071 2 года назад
I feel this so deep. The first time I rode on the road, I had a panic attack. I was test driving the bike I actually ended up buying. The sounds, the cars, it was in an unfamiliar busy street, I almost immediately decided not to ride. But I pushed through it, and even though the bike place was 10 mins away I had them deliver it to me. First week I just went around in circles in my neighborhood, then I would go on the main road near my house and turn back, after a week I was so bored going around my neighborhood that I decided to go on the road and it was a BLAST. A month later, I already wanted something faster and was kicking myself for getting a slow bike. From panic attack to wanting something faster already. My advice to anyone reading is if you don't feel comfortable riding it on the road yet, don't get discouraged but also don't do it. You don't want your first ride to end bad because you were super anxious. Have them deliver it to you, and ride through your neighborhood/less busy roads, there's no shame in it and you'll be riding on the road in no time :)

Still remember the first time. Went out to a used bike shop about 30 minutes away. $3500 bucks in hand and a Vulcan 750 on my mind. After the paperwork and what not was done it was time to ride home. After about 10 minutes of oh shit moments everything started to feel natural. That 30 minutes away turned into an hour and a half cruise. It truly felt terrifying and amazing.

I remember being so nervous to ride it that I waited till I had my license in hand just to go around the neighborhood. I also remember reading comments from people who were in my shoes about a year prior and saying how much fun they were having and the progress they had made and I couldn’t wait for that to be me. Fast forward 9 months and now im the guy who can say that! I bought my bike new in September of last year and already have 4700 miles on it. I ride every chance I get. I’ve had close calls but I’ve learned from them and it’s made me a better rider! I’m constantly learning. If anyone is a new rider and reads this, remember to ride your own ride, respect the bike, and take your time. No need to rush. Make sure you watch out for people making left turns at intersections!!! You’ll be fine and in time you’ll be coming here to read comments of others who are just starting out with 9 months under your belt 😂

The part where he says not to do something if you’re not comfortable doing it, just to take it slow, is basically the essence of learning how to ride on the streets and the highway. That’s what I’ve been doing. Took the MSF course, got a bike and have been slowly easing my way onto the roads more and more. Started out practicing in a parking lot, then went out on some backroads, then around the neighborhood, then around town, then graduated to a small highway. Interstate is next for me, but I won’t do it until I’m fully comfortable. So far it’s been a few months, but each time I go out I feel like I get a little better.

I took mine out for the first time yesterday and the build-up to me actually getting on the bike was so scary... I was pacing up and down my apartment, telling myself that I can do it, it's not gonna be as bas as I think. And as I was speaking to myself I was putting on my gloves and fetching my helmet, next thing I knew I had started my bike and there I went... just drove around the neighborhood. When I got back I was so glad I went for a ride.

Great video for people starting out. Your comment about keeping two hands on the bars brings up a great point for intermediate riders. I meet a lot of aspiring canyon carvers who are slow as shit and complain about arm pump. My advice to them is to start riding around with one hand. Start out easy on slow calm roads just like you recommended. Work your way up. It’ll passively teach you to hold the bike with your legs and support your body with your core. Leaving your hands free to work the controls instead of being clamped to the grips. It helps.

I am so happy that it's kinda hard to get an mc license in Denmark. 29 theory lessons, 4 lessons on a closed track with an instructor before you hit the road, 13 lessons on the road in all different conditions and finally 5 lessons MSF-type course. You have to pass the theory test first and then a practical test, where you start off showing your skills on a course then on the road :) When you finally get to go on your own bike, you have a pretty good idea what you're doing. I've never dropped my bike, but I did drop one in training. :)

Yammie, honestly this video is hands down one of the best videos to watch for a beginner rider. Seriously, your transparency and showing genuine vulnerability for what new riders go through is so refreshing to hear. I'm from NZ, and 4 weeks into owning my first road bike... A Husky Svartpilen 401... Hmmm, and I'll leave you to wonder who got me hooked on owning a Husky Svartpilen for my first bike ;-P A damn dream of a bike to own for my first. I still have to pinch myself. Anyway, I watched all 22mins of this vid and resonate with absolutely everything you said. I'm only 2 open road rides into my road biking journey and boy is it visceral the first time!! So many things for your mind think about and focus on... Not to mention, that wind!!! And the crosswinds moving your bike about beneath you! Boy does it take some getting used to. But I completely agree, it's a case of just getting out there and letting the experience soak itself into your muscle memory. I'm still working through all that but I just wanted to say it's so refreshing to hear a seasoned rider echo beginner rider fears. Thanks bud!!

Having only had msf experience on a bike, I was definitely a bit scared/nervous but alert af riding my bike home 50 miles from the next city over. Trial by fire right there but went pretty smooth. Only thing that was spooky was it was a day of 20-25mph winds. At one point a gust was pushing me clear to the edge of the road so I was leaning a good little bit jus to get back in the lane position I was riding in.

The wind can be scary shit, all your aerodynamics (if you have any..) face forward, from the side you're just a giant sail. 5500ft above sea level across the moors, 50mph cross winds, at one point I had the bike leant over far enough to get round a 90 degree bend and it's still going straight... 😆 It's not so bad with traffic about, a bit of clever positioning and you can have them take most of the blasts for you.

I was near paralyzed with fear doing 45 in a straight line when I started. After a few months I was ripping 40 mph corners @ 70. Take your time and push your comfort level a LITTLE at a time. Practice emergency maneuvers early and often. KNOW WHAT TARGET FIXATION IS AND HOW TO SNAP OUT OF IT!!! Learn TRAIL BRAKING, or at least how to use front brake in a corner. Most accidents (here anyway) are due to too fast corner entry and NOT KNOWING HOW TO SLOW IN A CORNER.

Also commute w a clutch for 6 months. Ull hop on a bike and feel right at home.

Fear is the response designed to keep you alive. Ironically, fear, real fear, riding a motorcycle can get you killed. Everything from grabbing too much brake and washing out or unloading the rear tire and kicking out, to target fixation and so on. No matter what, be the Machine. Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Controlling the Self allows for controlling the bike. You can panic all you want after it's all over and you're still Shiny Side Up.

The way I did it to hit the road for the first time after parking lot practice was to go out at something like 3AM when nobody was on the road, and just go cruising without destination in my town and sometimes a car would appear and I had to focus and stay calm. Then I had an idea: "What if I make the course I would do to my working place and come back?". And I did it so I can feel comfortable with the course. The next day I decided to try to go to work with my bike and it felt like "Oh I did this last last night, it's not so bad, but there are cars now, just behave like you are on a car and go slow". It worked out for me and it was so amazing! Also I had some extra worries because I got a Keeway Speed 125cc completely customized and it would sometimes stall on red lights, stops and traffic because it would lose power if I didn't keep pushing gas while stopped. But people usually are very nice, don't honk or complain, they see I'm having trouble with the bike and just go around me. So my advice for new riders is to go out at night when nobody is on the road so you can first focus on riding the bike and make some simulation like: "Oh let's imagine there's a car here, let's slow down or stop" and things like that.

It took me a bit of time to trust the bike as all my solo riding since my CBT was on wet roads. Don't fussed to much about keeping to the speed limit, take it nice and slow at a safe pace. Learn how to sit on your bike. I was finding my wrists were hurting because I was too rigid so I learnt to relax a bit. It helps to have a slow as dirt bike which I have and I'm just taking it nice a steady. Also, in my first 2 weeks of solo riding I rode in REALLY thick fog for the first time which, I'm not going to lie, was very scary. Take your time and take it steady. And, most importantly, enjoy!

Thank you for this humble reminder to start slow! I'm waiting on the delivery of my first bike (2010 BMW F800R). During the test ride at the dealership I felt really confident, because of how easily it handled despite me not having ridden for three years since I got my license. Watching some beginner videos afterwards made me realize how much I still should learn and also how much I didn't get taught in driving school. I'll choose a Sunday to go to a bigger supermarket parking lot and follow your steps from there.

I know Yam will hate to hear this, but the first bike I ever rode and owned was an 04 R6. Scared the crap out of me at first, but I quickly grew into it.

It's great if you survive. I honestly can't believe I survived 3/4 of the crap I did when I was young. I started with big 2 strokes. Suicide Machines by anyone's definition. It was epic. It was the wildest possible way to go and I made it. It's the absolute last thing I would recommend to anyone I care about.

I just finished my MSF course this weekend and I had an amazing time and got my license at 17. I’ve run into a place where I now realize I won’t be able to afford a bike for a while. My question is do you have any advice for getting back into riding after being off of a bike for an extended period of time?

I flunked out of the MSF because I was late to day 2. I ended up getting a used CBR600RR anyway. Then I totalled it a year later. That was in 2006. I got back into riding this year, passed the MSF, got ALL the gear, and a 2021 MT-07. I have a track day event coming up summer 2022 to hone my skills with the Yamaha Riding Champions school.

Thank you for all the “noob” videos. I’m 53 and just bought my first bike, ‘23 Ninja 650. Haven’t got the nerve up yet to go above 35 mph. Just happy I got into 4th gear.

Great advice, unfortunately my first ride was 350 miles of interstate and then I had to ride 10 miles in town to get home from the dealership. I was absolutely terrified for the longest time.

My first close call, i pulled over to a bus stop, smoked a ciggarette and after that i continued. Tbh my first close call happened when i was way younger, so i dont think i actually understood what could've happened if it didnt go as it did.

Can confirm. Let me tell you about the first time I ever rode on a motorcycle. A friend of mine asked me if I would go with him to a track day he was riding at VIR, just to hang out. Halfway through the day he convinced me to do a two up ride with a guy named Aaron Stevenson (look him up). We were passing pro riders in the advanced group. I had literally never been on a moving motorcycle before that day. I used to be a paratrooper for many years. My heart rate has been slower in gunfights!

I just purchased my first bike yesterday. It's a 2020 Harley Davidson Softail standard. I've never ridden a motorcycle before. I'm writing to take the course and I'll have the bike delivered to me. This video definitely helped calm me down some. Thanks.
