Glad you are ok. And well done for getting back on the bike. Please keep the videos coming I enjoy them very much. Thank you both

Delighted you're OK. 65yo geek from Dublin, Ireland here. Bought my first bike as a 15yo (Yamaha 50cc) and now on bike #10 (BMW 1600cc). Dropped bikes #1 to #5 and none since thanks to the lessons I learned each time--and bike #3 was a front blow-out and involved a low flying manoeuvre over the handlebars without a pilot's licence. Never stopped loving biking and loved every bike even the ones that tried to damage me. Wishing you many years of joy on those beautiful US roads. Keep her between the ditches as we say here.

i have that bike and can relate a bit though i’m taller. looks like you figured out a good strategy to get control. kudos. i think most of turn better one way than the other.

Thanks for the great Honesty of your video -

Hey guys, you are both so very helpful…I have to re learn a lot, planning a few re training sessions, been a very long time since I last rode….my little island of Jersey, just off the north coast of France…for reference, has lots of small roads….we have 200,000 cars….so I best be very careful…thanks for sharing

Hey, just a few pieces of advice from an nc750x owner like you are: 1. Get good motorcycle boots, for example, I bought Daytona Road Star GTX for cold weather and Alpinestars SMX Plus v2 Vented for hot one. Yes, they are pricy, but medical expenses in the US are even more expensive. 2. Install crash bars, I've got R-Gaza Touring Crash Bars (look them up on amazon). They will save your bike and what is more importantly, your legs/feet (they won't let the bike fall on them). 3. 4:00 stop the bike only with your steering wheel straight. Even if bike's center of gravity is low, it is heavy (~500lbs) 4. If the bike is about to fall over use throttle a little bit and it will help. 5. I noticed that the rear brake is kind of weak on nc750x, I have never locked the rear wheel even if I pressed it with significant amount of force.

Definitely interested in learning your DCT training.

DCT slow riding tips would be very worthwhile….thanks guys

I have an NC750x DCT. At low speed especially before 1st service the throttle has a tendency to snatch. There is a Honda recall to sort this with a reprogram of the ECU. Smooths it out a treat. All done in 15 minutes. Done 8,000 miles now with no further issues.

I ride a 2022 Honda Africa Twin DCT with Electronic Suspension. I lowered the bike 2 inches and I can flat foot the bike now....I use Soupy's Performance lowering kit. I also installed a left hand brake for the rear brake. During slow speed maneuvering I use the left hand brake by slightly dragging the rear brake. I also use the left hand brake when I come to a stopped. I am 5"8" with 30 inches inseam. Hopes this help.

OUCH! Good to know you're on the mend!

I have been riding for over 40 years, when I transitioned to a 325kg sports tourer, three years ago, I dropped it twice stopping and slow manoeuvring. It is easily done when getting used to a heavy machine. A good lesson on back brake stopping!

I spose it demonstrates the value of engine guards...its the mistakes that make us learn. Sometimes shit happens.

The main drawback on a ADV motorbike is that once is drop will go flat (the shape of the engine on the BMW let it drop less over solid ground, but they are heavy) while the engine protection bars aren't useful because they are made that way for when is used off-road. Someone use lateral bags to reduce this issue. I wonder if put bags is sufficient or add some sliders too do the tricks. Essentially these precautions are able to avoid a drop of the moto over the leg or not? So avoid an injury? Someone that have a ADV moto, purposely put down on the ground, could see if remain sufficient space for the leg?

Dropped it the first day. I stopped on an angle and didn’t realize the weight. It’s OK! 🙏I’m still working on slow speed maneuvers!!

It happens to us all. My mate has biked for 47 years and dropped his last week……it happens. The more experience you have, the less chances of dropping it occurs. You said yourself how you dropped it, you didn’t allow for the difference in weight between the bike and the scooter…..typical beginners error and nothing to be ashamed of. The most unfortunate thing was your injury, heal quickly.

Hi, i did advise you on getting the bike lowered. I personally would not ride a bike i can't flat foot. Plus only use the back brake on slow manoeuvres. Honda rebel would be a more suitable bike. Be safe and enjoy.

You got balls girl !!!! Bravo to you !

I like you guys, don't want to see you get hurt.

Hi all, my wife has purchased motorcycle boots with heels TCX Ladies Classic Waterproof Boots - Black these or similar will give you confidence. Safe riding 👍🏻

Oh that front brake can put one down so quick. Ask me how I know.

If you havent dropped your bike, you havent been riding, we all been there, just get back in it and enjoy again!!!

By the way I live in the UK and my son who is a Honda service manager tipped me off about this modification. It's not something Honda alerts their dealers to automatically.

Check out KZfaq videos from MC Rider, MotoJitsu and Ride Like A Pro with Jerry Palladino. Also Fort Nine, Canyon Chasers and Yamaha Champion Riding School, which when subscribed to, has "Champ U". Sample videos on KZfaq. I have a NC750X DCT and learned from these videos. Example: No way quicker to drop a MC, is to have handle bars turned and apply front brake. Slow maneuvers no less than 10mph, counter lean, etc. Good luck in your adventures and safe riding.

Ouch.....

Don't do front brake on slow speed Maneuvering.

I'm glad you are ok. Hope this video helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9Goddygl6udg4E.html and this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZehlNN3lt2pk2w.html Be happy and be safe. : ) Thanks for sharing.

you will hurt yourself on this bike. Go back to Vespa
