► 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 02, we go over using the clutch, learning the friction zone, applying brakes, and a brief introduction to shifting. The next episode will cover shifting into higher gears. 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 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 guy that enjoys to ride.
Hope the videos help! As always, thanks for watching, ride safe out there, and stay vigilant!

The clutch on a car or truck is a "dry clutch" clutches in motorcycles are "wet" clutches. They are bathed in oil. Motorcycle are designed to be used in that fashion without harm. Doing it for hours is a diffirent issue, but in practice or while riding dose no harm to the clutch.

You don't know how many times I stalled in traffic because I didn't release the clutch with ease. I remember your hand motion practice where you simulate the motion of releasing the clutch slowly while slowly applying throttle. You've been a big help. Ride Wild! *First day riding my first bike as of the time of this comment

I guess is because of your experience as a instructor that makes us feel so freaking comfortable and interested in learning this; this is a great learning video especially for us that have no experience in bikes.

Thank you for these videos and be safe out there!!

I didn’t get the soft tail, I got myself a 2016 Fatboy S and I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! Even though it was "used" it wasn’t... allow me to explain 😎😎😎 It belonged to a doctor who bought it just to have her sitting down in his garage, turned the engine on on sundays just to go around the block for three years, got her with only 267 miles... 😍😍😍😎 isn’t that cool?!

He is an amazing instructor and damn it, I want this man to train me in everything man-code related 😆. Absolutely awesome how looking at this video POV makes it so much easier to learn what to do. I know i have to take the official class but you will not learn it as good as this video. This is my very first comment in a you tube video btw. So thank you so much and i will be watching these vids often. Cheers from Hollywood, Florida!

I drove cars for over 25 years always waiting to sign up for getting a driving licence for a motorbike... waiting for almost a quarter of a century was enough time just dreaming about it and now I finaly made the step and decided to sign in our local driving school for getting a Motorbike driving license. Your video(s) are great and answered a lot of questions that were going through my mind. Thanks again, ride safe.... greetings from over the big pond outa Germany.
