STARTUP NOTE!: When starting the bike, you should always hold in your clutch lever, regardless of if the neutral light is on (see pinned user comments below.) In the video, I confirm the bike is in neutral by walking it and then start it, but regarding best practices, you should always hold the clutch in for safe measure!

Ever wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle? So does Ms. Blockhead (my lady!) We've got her signed up for an incoming MSF course, but she wants to get a head start and is eager to learn! If you're wanting to learn and get your certification, you definitely should sign up for an MSF course as well! Checkout the link below for more info on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation:
► MSF Website: www.msf-usa.org/
► MSF Handbook: bit.ly/MSFHandbook-BH
So Ms. Blockhead's been YouTubing 'How to Ride a Motorcycle' and hasn't been able to find a vid that 'thoroughly' goes over a few of the things she's trying to learn. Watching through a few with her, there's some stuff that's left out here n' there, so I told her that I'd make one for her and try to be thorough!
Alas, the Blockhead "How To Ride A Motorcycle" series was born!* In Part 01, we go over controls on the bike, as well as starting er' up. I bring along my trusty MSF Rider Handbook for some guidance, but kinda 'cliffs notes' it up.
The vids might seem a bit lengthy, but I know that's how I learn best, so maybe there's some of you out there that are the same (I'd be willing to bet there are!)
As an NRA certified firearms instructor, I've instructed and taught students before, so I hope that it comes across in the vid (fingers crossed!) However, I never have nor will I claim to be a 'motorcycle instructor.' When it comes to motorcycles, I'm just a dude that enjoys the ride!
Hope the videos help! As always, thanks for watching, ride safe out there, and stay vigilant!

Just had a 99 Honda Shadow delivered to my house, never rode in my life. Couldn't wait for my buddy to take it to a parking lot for me and decided to go around the block. Needless to say, I went up a hill cause I was too nervous to turn, got stuck on a hill for 15mins and stalled a few times. Luckily came across an older guy who's been riding forever and he rode it back to my house for me 2 blocks away...I'll wait for my buddy.

Good video Blockhead. On the start up section though, as others have mentioned, my MSF instructors always taught us to never trust the dummy lights. You should always physically check that the bike is in neutral first by making sure it can move back and forth freely. Then upon starting the bike always hold in your clutch lever, just to be on the safe side. Keep up the good work! As always ride safe my friend!

I respect that but if your dummy lights didn't work properly then manufacturers would constantly be getting sued so... I trust my dummy lights because... Lawyers.

But any true motorcyclist always makes sure that it is in neutral before getting off the bike given the situation and where you're parking.. That and the fact that a false neutral is a real thing you can't trust that you are fully in neutral by the light anyways

Honestly finding a parking lot was the hardest step for me. Nowhere near me has big empty lots, and the few small ones are always filled with cars. Thankfully I found an Abandoned Golf Course, so I learned on trails and gravel instead. I wasn't keen on going half an hour to the city with it being my first ride and all. So an old dirt road had to do!!

I have this same bike! I just took a motorcycle course and was stuck with a grom that had been in a bit of a crash in a previous class- the throttle wasn’t catching and it would chug and then stall. I kept saying something was wrong with the bike but the instructors would roll their eyes and say ‘it’s not the bike.’ Finally on my last day, ready to give up, they let me use the instructors bike and he used the one I was on and sure enough, he stalled it over and over and over- I only got a couple hours on a bike that didn’t stall and chug and I am kinda mad that I didn’t get to enjoy learning shifting and other things because I was too caught up on not stalling that broken POS. These videos are really awesome and I’m excited to take my bike into a parking lot and practicing. Thanks so much! You’re a great instructor!

Just wanted to say thank you for this video series. This helped me immensely with my confidence on the basic riders course last month. My first time on a motorized bike was on that course and I got all first time go's. I wholeheartedly believe it was thanks to this. My first bike is a 2013 Suzuki Boulevard M50. I absolutely love riding. I'm glad I found you! Thanks again!

Hey, I want to start off by thanking you for this amazing series of videos, it helps my wife and I get on a bike for thr first time with as much confidence as possible for first timers. I am now riding comfortably and confidently, we're still working on her, but to be fair, I started first haha your videos are phenomenal. And also, I was wondering what gloves you're wearing? Very interested in them

Great job! Some 30 plus years ago when I was 13, the bike I learned on had the neutral light too. I wasn't told to make sure it was in neutral and when I hit the starter the bike tried to take off. It was hilarious!!

What up Blockhead! So I recently started to get into wanting to ride a bike. I saw a beautiful Iron 883 at the Harley dealership and loved it. I have no experience with bikes at all! Lol I then look up videos on the iron 883 and come across your video on why it's a good starting bike. From there I'm hooked on your videos! Immediately subscribed lol Hopefully soon enough I take a course and eventually get my self an iron 883 just like yours. Keep up the great videos! I'll be going from Houston to Orlando in August. Hopefully I'll see you ride around and say hello lol

I got my motorcycle endorsement last month without ever riding a motorcycle prior to the msf course. This video and the rest in the set gave me so much info and I just want to thank you for making these videos. I know you probably wont see this but maybe someone else will.

So I learned to ride 3-4 years ago at this point, laid the bike down, lost confidence and hadn't gotten back on. I have a renewed sense of excitement for riding and remembered this series of videos from a couple years back. It's helpful and rejogging the memory after all these years. Hoping to find the confidence to hop back on and ride. May take another course to refresh the memory even more.

What you did on that bike just now? Is exactly how I got comfortable with Motorcycles on my Dad's Honda back in 1984 in the garage. Just did that over and over as a kid. Put it in Neutral. Move it around. Start it up. Move it around. Make sure it's in Neutral. I did that over and over again until I got comfortable enough to take it out ...
