My Most Embarrassing Motorcycle Moment (So Far)
Рет қаралды 7,928
Күн бұрынIn this video, I share my experience riding my motorcycle on the highway for the first time. I also talk about my experience with heavy winds and how I stalled my motorcycle twice. I also mention that I purchased a new insta 360 camera mount which is linked down below!
If you're thinking about riding a motorcycle on the highway, I hope this video shows you what it's like. And if you're a beginner rider, I hope you enjoy the video!
Here are some tips for riding a motorcycle on the highway:
-Be prepared for heavy winds. The wind can be very strong on the highway, so be prepared to adjust your speed and position accordingly.
-Be aware of your surroundings. There are a lot of cars and trucks on the highway, so be sure to pay attention to what's going on around you.
-Don't be afraid to use your signals. Let other drivers know what you're doing so they can be prepared.
-Have fun! Riding a motorcycle on the highway can be a lot of fun, so enjoy the ride!
Here are some tips for dealing with heavy winds:
-Slow down. The wind can be very strong, so it's important to slow down to avoid being blown off course.
-Stay in the lane. Try to stay in the center of the lane so you have more room to maneuver.
-Be prepared to adjust your speed. The wind can change direction suddenly, so be prepared to adjust your speed accordingly.
-Don't be afraid to pull over. If the wind is too strong, it's best to pull over and wait for it to die down.
Here are some tips for preventing stalling:
-Make sure your motorcycle is in gear. If your motorcycle is in neutral, it's more likely to stall.
-Use the clutch smoothly. When you're slowing down, use the clutch smoothly to avoid stalling.
-Don't give it too much gas. When you're starting off, don't give it too much gas or you'll be more likely to stall.
-Be patient. It takes time to learn how to ride a motorcycle without stalling.
-Don't get discouraged if you stall a few times.
I hope this video was helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Just started riding myself. Only stalled once so far as I was on a hill and didn't give it enough gas. Surprisingly I kept calm even though there were cars behind me and started her up and went about my way. I still struggle with slow speed turns at times. That is something I really need to work on. The more I get out the more fun I'm having now too. Started listening to music with my Cardo and that helps me really relax
@RidewithRea Жыл бұрын
oh gosh! Going uphill is the worst especially if you're stopped at a light and the road is inclined. I'm glad you were able to stay calm. I'll have to try a cardo! I've heard a lot a really great things and I'm still looking for a good brand to try out.

Smaller bikes don't usually have tall screens so there's not much protection from the wind. Cruisers, touring bikes and maxi scooters have better wind protection - you might look at something like that later. You aren't the first and you won't be the last to stall your bike in traffic. Lots of cars also stall although in Australia (where I live) the manual car whilst not a relic is becoming much rarer. Your tips for riding in high wind are all sensible. I fear that many riders don't do enough to ride to the conditions assuming every ride is the same. The bike might be the same but the road and the weather are going to vary each time you're out and sensible riders adjust for that. Enjoy you're rides and keep the videos coming.

lol, Its perfectly normal. I've been riding a few years now and still occasionally stall it. slight mental distraction. I also have a huge fairing that helps with the wind cause Riding year round in the east coast winters is HARSH. (Never ride in snow though not on a cruiser)
@LivingLifewithJudith Жыл бұрын
Stalking is part of riding a motorcycle imo. So don't worry too much about it. It had riding in wind, especially if there is gust of wind. But what a view! Take care!

My friend and I started riding together this year also and so we are always going out together. Stalls, sketch and bad shifts all at the worst times here too 😂 Twice I have stalled while rolling and both times managed to restart the bike without putting a foot down which was weird lol I feel ya on the wind and the death grip, made a 100km trip and the wind was awful, hands were cramped af. Fun watching these cause we are at the same progression level basically

That’s so awesome you guys started riding together :) & LOL stalling and bad shifting is the worst for real. I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the videos! I’m sure you guys will progress much faster than me -I’m still scared to go on the freeway😅 Thanks for the comment & safe riding! 😊

Prepare for more emberacing things to happen. Like the clutch wire braking when you're about to enter a roundabout and you only notice when it's already too late :D Also you can omit the music we all prefer to listen to the motor, or well find a good balance (but motor louder pls ty)

Have you gone on the dreadful H1 yet? My folks live in Wahiawa and we try to come see them each year so I know how crazy the traffic can be. I can imagine me being a new bike rider being on it, I would freak out lol! You do so well and are so cool and calm, that’s excellent 😊
@dockingtroll6801 Жыл бұрын
Hey yeah, pay attention to the wind, the right gust, or wrong, can shift you an entire lane over... worst case scenario ... head on into oncoming traffic..... and pay attention to windbreakers, tunnels, rocks, cliffs, forests.... as you leave/pass and get out from your lee, you can shift a lane again.... if it gets real bad you have to counter lean into the wind... thats scary

Practice stall recovery without hitting the starter. With only a little bit of momentum / before the bike completely comes to a stop, you can bump start the bike. Pull in the clutch when it stalls and let it roll (even paddle the bike forward a bit), then drop the clutch lever to bump start the bike. Test this drill in a parking lot. Ride the bike slowly - pull clutch lever - hit kill switch off - bike stops running - kill switch on - drop clutch lever and the bike will start without using starter. Does not work going up hills obviously…

Safety comment. At vid time stamp 5:19, you came to a 4-way stop. The 2nd car on your left before the red one didn't give you the right away. The left lane of cars is the most dangerous where bike and car hit. This happens especially if you were also going to turn left. Be safe Rea!

Stalling your motorcyle is the worst - people looking at you and honking. I got my license not a month ago, and I'm still learning on my Royal Enfield. You can't help it, only by practicing and repetition you can get really good at this.

I was trying to figure out how you stalled there because you were moving, were you just playing with the clutch with no gas and fethering it? I've never had that happen to me on a flat surface but it happens randomly on light hills.

If you haven't stalled a motorcycle then you've never ridden one. But it never gets less embarrassing.
