Welcome to the world of motorcycles. I've been riding since I was a kid.. 40+ years. Couple of little tips.. gloves with gel palm to absorb vibration(very important for long trips) and always carry some zip ties with you (they come in handy). The spring for my jiffy/kick stand came off one time while on a 4 hr trip (don't know how) but then the stand was dragging the ground and causing major issue.. if I had a zip tie I could have fixed temporary. Don't leave home without a couple. Have fun!

One of the things that I do to help learn shifting. Since the travel distance to the next gear is different for each bike. In a garage/ parking lot/ driveway. 1: Swing leg over and sit 2: Turn key on 3: Do not start bike. 4: Put bike in first gear 4: Keeping your head and eyes up. (Think of being out on the road and you are not able to look down) 6: Without looking at instrument panel 7: Pull in clutch 8: Shift up 9: Am I in second or am I in neutral? 10: Now look down. Check to see which one 11: Look back up 12: Shift up twice 13: Am I now in 3rd or 4th gear? 14: Check which one. Practice up shifting and down shifting The whole idea is to learn which gear you are in without having to look at instrument panel. Taking your eyes off could lead to getting hurt or hurting someone else.

I really do need to upgrade my "fashion leather" too. Couple things I learned in the past few years not taught in the msf course: First, the idea or concept of not fully releasing the front brake going into turns, aka "trail braking", and/or just the idea of how to brake in a turn. You need to know how to do this if you overshoot your entry speed, in blind decreasing radius curves, if a deer jumps out, etc. Second, the importance of using the friction zone, dragging the rear brake if necessary, and keeping the rpm up so you won't stall and drop the bike trying to do low speed tight maneuvers, especially with a really top heavy bike like my fjr 1300.

I agree with all your comments. If you can't afford the good gear you shouldn't buy the bike. When you hit the road (not if because no matter what you do some other fool might hit you) that's all there is between you and the road. All black looks cool but no one can see you. As for braking all of the energy of the bike and the weight is transferred to the front wheel so it makes perfect sense to apply the front brake just don't grab it or squeeze it too hard. That's why ABS is such a good thing. Ride carefully and enjoy the ride.

just FYI, engine breaking is basically rear wheel braking as the engine pulls on the chain which is attached to the rear wheel. In some bike engines architectures, you could lock up the rear tire on a slippery ground, just by engine breaking because it's so strong. It did happen to me once. And unlike a break which you can always let go to gain traction, with engine breaking it's a little bit more complicated as you need to be more aware to pull the clutch in or even add gas.

Be careful, when the first near miss happens learn everything you did wrong and what can be improved. I was told that riding a motorcycle is an art form.

I know when my first near accident a car was primarily in the wrong but as I told people that story I soon realized how I could make that near miss into an easy miss. I have about one every year due to the drivers around me. But its always good to watch videos online and even the graphic ones to learn of the side effects of bad decisions. I can't speak for women but men have a tough time calming that urge to go fast or to do something risky.l to get that adrenaline. Just remember to always keep yourself upright.

Meaning LED lighting? Some newer companies add an extra wire, so you can pigtail it into your brake light, meaning no matter what color you choose, they all turn red, when you you use front or rear brakes. I've frosted my windscreen, and added LED lights near the bottom, giving a very diffused glow. But I also ride with my LED lights on 24/7 REMARKABLE difference in visibility, even during day time....especially when I tap my brake lights 4 or 5 times in about a second, and they flash from whatever color, to red. Catches the eye, and cars pulling out STOP. ( For an example, look at my avatar, about the diffused windscreen glow)

Duck feet is only bad when your footpegs are too low, and sometimes you need to shift up through left-hand turns, but you can't because your pegs are too low to the ground. In my opinion, a lot of problems with duck feet is with consumers; they could simply refuse to buy motorcycles that place their footpegs to low for the safe operation of this vehicle.

35 years of riding, a couple years it was my only transportation and I have taken many multi thousand mile trips. Often running 750 to 1000 miles in a day. Back when I started riding gear was pretty limited for street use. Boots first, then gloves, helmet if you felt like it and heavy leather jacket when you could afford it, that was it. I never really felt the need for much more. I added a real helmet a few years ago because the wind started bothering my eyes and I needed the face shield. Getting old I guess. This year I have added a riding shirt with armor which I really like and a pair of riding pants so I guess after 35 years I am finally fully dressed for riding. Point is nowadays people are getting way to obsessed with having all this extra stuff before you can ride. Seriously, just ride man.

Forgetting to pull in the clutch when you come to a stop? Never heard that one but easy to see it could happen once you said it. A friend of mine came to a stop at a light after a long ride and forget to put his foot down once. Hopefully that will be enough of that. You did good here, your humility was appropriate and message spot on. My only suggestion is that; Taking the MSF course should be the number one thing you do, even if you don't have a bike yet. You ride their bikes and I think they cover everything you brought out here to some extent. The 2.5 days MSF training was a bit like drinking from a fire hose but the real learning is in the practice. MSF makes it so much easier to get you license in most states too. I thought I was the only one who thought black riding gear is unwise. (actually I think it's absurd but didn't want to put words in your mouth) Cooled down to 103 today in N. Nevada. A 1k per day U-turn regimen is beyond extraordinary. Hat tip to you.

Hi! It’s definitely personal preference. I knew for a fact that I would eventually want to upgrade to a bigger bike once I learned how to ride so I figured getting the 300 would be less expensive and easier to learn on. Also, where I live it’s very rare to find rebels at dealerships so at the time I wanted to buy my bike they just so happened to have this 300 and I loved it. I felt if I got the 500 I probably wouldn’t feel the need to upgrade. As a beginner, they are both so similar and both great bikes to learn on. If you don’t plan on upgrading then the 500 is perfect.

The sun reminds you everyday how stupid you are for buying all black gear, a black bike, and then sitting in traffic. Cheap gear is also something we all do, but until you've had expensive gear you don't realize the difference. That $500 helmet really is way more comfortable and cooling then the $100 helmet, and the reason that summer jacket costs $300 is because it uses magic to fully protect while giving the illusion you're naked so you don't overheat.

Before getting my license I'm going through all material online.. so.. Friction zone is different for every bike and it varies? Did I get it wrong or?
@HoratioBunce503 Жыл бұрын
Friction varies from bike to bike, but the concept is the same. You want to do practice exercise so you develop a “feel” for it in muscle memory thru repetition (both accelerating and decelerating). Motos use engine braking much more than other vehicles do. This means that rolling off the throttle to slow down is routinely used before braking or instead of braking (ie thru turns). Smooth operation of the clutch when downshifting to aid in slowing or stopping the bike is critical. Dumping the clutch on a downshift will likely cause the rear wheel to lose traction and skid. No bueno at high speed thru the twisties, or making a turn. A good exercise for learning the friction zone is to set up the bike at the bottom of a steep driveway, and practice letting the clutch out while increasing throttle at the same time. Then pull the clutch in and roll back to level. Just a few feet forward and rolling back will do it. You can do it with both feet hovering on the ground, not on the pegs. On a level, just practice letting the clutch out in 1st gear, with no, or very little throttle, then pull the clutch in, and repeat till you get the feel of it.
@HoratioBunce503 Жыл бұрын
You also want to adjust the clutch lever so you can get the first knuckle from your finger tip over the lever on your index and middle fingers. When you’re riding the bike, your index and middle fingers should always be resting on too of the clutch lever (ready to pull it), and your pinky and ring finger on the grip.

I found your channel today. I will be watching. I recommend making friends with KZfaqr Carolyn, "Doodle on a Motorcycle". She's been through all your trials and triumphs.
