A small tip: Be very careful in gas station parking lots, especially after a rain. They are often times very slick from spilled fuel, and both braking and accelerating can be dangerous.

Thanks for the tip we learned it rough way 😅 My friend's moped flyed under him literally, i cant even imagine what a 1000cc bike would do.

When you pull the clutch that kills the bike right

@bradleysintuition6027 6 ай бұрын

only if you don't give it gas when in gear bro, so if you don't gas it in 1st-6th gear but it won't kill the engine/turn it off if you pull the clutch in neutral, it might just slowly start to creep or move the bike forward. Hope that helps you.@@juliodiaz4493

Good video, but three important things are still missing: 1) The motorcycle is heavy. Even the lightest and smallest one is of excess of 250 pounds! You briefly mentioned that, but the new rider must be aware of that so not to drop it out of surprise. I myself nearly dropped the bike the first time I got on it because I didn’t expect it to be THAT heavy. 2) High speed turns are made by primarily counter steering. This is extremely important. So many people don’t know that. I almost crashed during one of my first rides because I forgot about it and I was essentially steering the bike the opposite way! I think this must be stressed several times to let people remember that very important aspect of riding. 3) Even though the controls of the motorcycle are way more simple than of the car, a short walkthrough around all the controls like turn indicators, lights, and horn would be not only entertaining, but also helpful to show the riders-to-be that there’s nothing insanely difficult or complicated there. In any case, thank you for the video, and it was enjoyable to watch even not for the beginner. Cheers from Vietnam!

DUDE, I bought a Himalayan and it’s 450+ lbs. Freaked me out. It’s still taking some getting used to but I had to find the center of gravity and acclimate to the weight. When you see old ladies doing it you know you’ll be fine.

@boblachance7014 2 ай бұрын

I was going to mention many of the points you bring up. Your first point is something people don't take into consideration. No two bikes have the same center of gravity. Your second point on counter-steering is always overlooked in the how-to videos on riding motorcycles for beginners. All you need to do is put a little pressure on the handlebar on the direction your turning and the bike starts turning. Also, some older bikes have a manual choke that you have to pull out until it is warmed up. No two bikes are alike and each have their unique riding features. I've ridden many thousands of miles on various bikes and you never can take the bike for granted. You have to respect the power the bike has or if you become lazy you can be seriously hurt if your are a careless rider. I've written bikes over 40+ years. I always ride like I'm invisible. I enjoyed your comment.
