This weeks video is all about passing on useful tips I’ve learned in the time I’ve been riding a motorcycle. From proper hand and foot positions, to safety steps you should do to your motorcycle, to a bit of advice to new riders about wearing your riding gear.

People give me grief over my safety gear, I bought a "dirt" bike but wear street gear. I bought the bike because I like the look and feel of it and the way it corners without having to lean it very much, I wear the street gear because I ride on the street. My safety my choices.

Lol those are also the same people that if you were to crash and weren't wearing that gear and just a tshirt and shorts, "why weren't you wearing any street gear.!?!?!" 😂 i have friends that ride in full race leathers, gauntlet style gloves and track boots and on a dirt bike and i have mad respect for them. Someone that actually has a brain and appreciates their life more than what people think of how they look is what matters. As long as YOU feel safe when riding, doesn't matter what kind of bike. Even a little honda grom lol

I can relate. I even brought my street gear to an enduro class since I didn't have anything else at the time. I must've had MX-boots, can't remember, but I had the rest for street use. No one said anything, but I'm sure they wondered a bit. Everybody hade matching bikes and clothes and no bike older than 2years. My bike was 25years old at the time. Must admit I enjoy "kind of" looking the part on my KLX650R but not infringing on safety. Short spurts at low speed in the city I take my MX-helmet simply for the looks. Longer travels or below zero, I use a full street helmet and full leathers. MX boots I'm sure are better than street boots for safety, but I cant use them on my other bike GSF1200. I do have some pretty expensive Sidi boots for that though. Kicking my klx is better with mx boots. Destroyed a par of street boots kicking my 610TE one winter (slipping off the kick several times that winter).

I’m just starting to ride and this was a very helpful video. I’ve heard a few experienced riders state that they rev their engines at stops to make the person coming up behind them aware that there’s a bike in front of them.

Flashing your brake light is a far more effective way of alerting a driver approaching behind you, and it doesn’t annoy others around you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

I've been riding for several years and I still like to watch stuff like this. Especially before spring starts and I haven't rode all winter. All it takes is 1 mistake to get hurt or killed. Always use your head and stay sharp and you should be fine. Most important piece of advice I would give someone just starting is to always expect there to be something dangerous ahead. All it takes is a few gravel or a pothole around a curve and you could wipe out. I always take it easy and watch out. And if you can't see good, don't ride. Just don't do it. You will eventually wreck because you don't see something in the road. Im always dodging gravel and grass and stuff every time I ride. My dad wrecked his scooter a few weeks ago because he couldn't see a gravel in the road and he skinned his foot and leg up really bad. All because he's too stubborn to admit he can't see good enough to ride anything with 2 wheels anymore.

I am great fan of "per the manual". So true the designer is the best person to give advice on how to maintain. However, for older bikes you may have to adapt your maintenance to the new product and modifications you made or even to the aging of the bike. By the way: happy to see you back !

Good tips again Sir, thank you :) Definitely with you there on gear and foot position, I ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs until I need to use the controls and then they're back again when the job is done, I also like how it makes me feel more connected and at one with the bike. I've been down twice, both times my own fault snatching the front brake in an emergency, since then I've been a lot more cautious and conscious of loading the suspension progressively, even though the bike has ABS, it's good riding practice. I'll give your braking tip a go though next time out and see how it feels :)

My friend and i did some wheelies down main street on our groms and this car full of girls thought it was awesome and then we both pulled into gas station and talked to them and they were super interested in learning to ride and loved the groms so we got their numbers and a little over two years later now myself and my friend are each dating one of the girls that we met and all 4 of the girls now ride groms with our group of friends. And when the grom squad is out people always are smiling and giving us thumbs up when we wheelie.
I wish I could change THIS fast! 🤣
