same bruhh Idk him but I got sad asf watching this 😔I came to see his progress to see if he was better but instead got the bad news

@@carlosfelix8233 I hate it. Was talking about it at work the other day too, shit is painful.

I was just watching the first ride home video. Found it pretty interesting, a few years back when I didn’t have kids and was pretty flush with $ I pondered buying a Harley (for about a week), lived 20mins out of town and an easy road . I had only ridden a bike twice so I slapped myself a few times and decided I should stay with V8s and 4 wheels before I killed myself. Really sad to hear this guy got killed, RIP.

@@reqxxiii6376 Same, i was like man. I just bought my first bike (XL1200X forty eight) and came back inside after a 10 minute ride in a subdivision to get famliar with the bike and then i seen his first video and then all the comments. Almost brought me to the point of becoming nervous. I went back out again today for another 10 minutes and this entire situation made me even take more care in my surroundings and what i am doing before i make decisions. I've only gone about 25 mph so far. This individual had balls of steel in under a year it seems of riding. RIP.

Accidents happen, don't let that discourage your journey. It's really important to hold yourself accountable to reap the benefits.

me to

right rip i was wondering why there hasnt been any uploads in 10months

whats the article i just watched his first ride and clicked on here to find out he passed away

is he really dead?

what are you talking about people ?

@@Voltomess this dude passed away on his bike i just wanted to find some info on it but can’t find anything

@@assik6419 yeah

Same! If ya look at most comments we all feel the same. I haven’t picked up my first bike yet but I have been looking. I don’t know whether to take this as a sign or what! RIP Tully! I’m sure you are missed!

@@societylost4344 theres always dirt bikes

​@BobbieDraper what do you mean?

Wait. He died? Motorcycle accident?

@@cocoy_maksnah they lying he just doesn’t post on here anymore he has another account

Sorry to hear about your brother Adam, that must have been completely devastating. I too just came from Tully's 'first ride' vid and was actually really excited to see what progress he'd made, but then I seen the comments about him passing away - so awful. I can understand you not wanting to risk riding a motorbike due to what happened with your brother but you can't let these things hold you back life. If it's something you want to do, and especially if something you've been wanting to do for a while, go for it. Life is too short. If you do end up getting a bike, as much as going fast is super fun, just take it easy - it's not worth it (I learned that the hard way driving a high power BMW!).

@@Duncan94 oh hell no. My brother would be pissed if I let his mistakes stop me. He'd just want me to learn from it and be safe. Same with Tully, I'm sure. Riding is something I've always had a desire to do, and I'm going to do it. But, because of my experiences with motorcycles, I'm going to be as precautious as I can be. I don't have a wild personality or an insane need for speed. I just want to get that feeling of freedom. Riding is a huge responsibility and bikes need to be treated with respect. I appreciate your encouragement man. Thank you. People like you and other KZfaqrs are a big reason I feel confident in my decision to learn. Mostly everyone is chill and supportive. So again thank you. All the best, friend. Be safe out there!

Did you end up getting that bike?

@AzlornMagus rip man… did you know him?

@AzlornMagusare you joking or being deadass cause that would legit be the worst thing in the world for that dude’s parents

I just watched it too and then found out the tragic news. 💔

how did he die

@@adithyams6410 went wide in a turn

@@sexycowman where is the video or news?

Same. Rest in peace. This so tragic :(

I think he serves as a very poignant reminder to those of us who also want to own and ride a motorcycle for the first time. RIP Tully. I hope your experience and your braveness to post your short riding time saves lives and keeps the rest of us grounded.

Rest In Peace 🕊️ He is heaven 🙏

What happened to him? :'(

@@caumuoi7995 crashed, he flew off the road going way too wide on a turn.. oh well.. what's done is done sadly and hope other young riders will be safe and learn from his mistake.

WHAT are you kidding me ? how do you know ? hpw can you say ?

@@max-uw6bi His sister on Facebook if I'm not mistaken

my advise to you would be to look at other content creators who make motorcycle videos and get a proper idea from different sources of what you want to do. People die on anything. A bike, a car, even a scooter. Supposedly, he died because he drove too wide on a tight turn on the highway and got yeeted off the railing and hit something. Now this could be do to inexperienced and overconfidence, a simple mistake, or a crash situation that was simply out of his control and inevitable regardless of what vehicle he drove. Nobody truly knows but him. At the end of the day (from what I am personally aware of) regardless of what vehicle you choose to sport, always have respect for it, yourself, and the people around you whilst you drive, and be as educated as possible about your specific vehicle and the area you drive in and make educated decisions based on that. Its all up to you on what you feel comfortable with and how whatever you choose fits with your lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with doing research and/or taking extra driving classes. Its always better to be safe then sorry. Plus, if you are rethinking your decision, try asking yourself why you even want to get that vehicle, what will it do for you, does it makes sense for your life at this very second, and is it worth the risk regardless of what this vehicle or anything in general may be. -If you are still interested in a motorcycle AFTER asking these questions and reflecting, here is a good youtuber that got recommended to me ;) Maybe you can learn a thing or 2 (=/)/` kzfaq.info Goodluck and much love

@@DreamixVA Wow thanks so much for taking the time to write this. I’m currently taking classes and informing myself as much as I can. I haven’t approached this the way you explained it but I see it makes so much sense. Thank you so much for this, I have a feeling I’ll be back to read this a few times. Thanks for the YT channel suggestion, him and MotoJitsu is where I’ve learned the most from.

@@NPCTE23 No problem love

@@NPCTE23

@@NPCTE23 rewatch the first video after taking the course. You’ll understand just how easily you can become comfortable on a new bike once you’ve learned how it handles. Ride safe man 🙏

His riding skills were scary. I don't mean that in a negative way but someone should of coached him. May of saved him and lots of family grief. Eventually we will all die but i feel for those that ahd to clean that mess. R.I.P

@@brandonbrown7502hat’s scary about 40 in sixth gear? That’s fuel-economic and safe riding for normal traffic conditions on a public taxpayer-funded road. The only time you need to pop it into a lower gear is if you need to power out for some reason, which is a rare need if you are following all other safe riding rules and guidelines, unless you are an obnoxious show off who thinks he looks cool going 120 MPH on public roads.

@@martuuk8964riding through traffic with a 25mph speed difference with 7 months of riding experience is overestimation of skill. Dangerous as fuck

@@martuuk8964 it will ruin your engine. Bikes are ment to have higher rpm's. It's also dangerous to be in the wrong gear = you can choke / kill your engine, the bike behaves differently which gear you are in. Don't talk about stuff if you have no clue. Which gear you are in is extremely important. You should never be in a higher gear than you need.

He was literally going between 1-15mph for the vast majority of this video and only spent a very short period of time in 5th or above…or @ 40mph and it’s a 9 minute video not an hour… So YES you are the only one that watched him go 40mph in 6th gear for an hour.

same here. really sad man.

same 😢💔 this is so sad. i just discovered his first ride vid

If you want good videos Dandanthefireman does excellent accident prevention videos. And maybe a tip, despite what people say, start on a sub 500cc bike optionally a 250 or 300. Ride it for 2 years get some experience and learn how to actually ride by practicing in parking lots or something. Then test ride a bigger bike and give a good nights sleep worth of thinking if you really want a 600 or 1000 or if you could also live with a midweight bike.

Well said bro, I went wide so many times on my 400, had to humble myself and slow down. Doesn't matter if it was an r1 or 400 going wide is still going wide

@@Butters_Stotch_187 same, after the first few times of doing that I started repeatedly saying "I want to go this way, I want to go this way" in my head while looking where I wanted to go. It trained me to instinctively lean and turn instead of worrying about "oh shit I'm not going to make it". Ride safe man.

completely agree. I even had my motorcycle lessons on a mt-07, so it is all about how you control your right wrist. I started late, had 22yrs experience in a car, and less need to go fast or drive dangerous because of my age. Still on my first bike, a 1200 GS Adventure. Driving license requirements and traffic are a lot different than here in Europe (and I’ve driven a lot in the US), but that license is just the start and only then does the real training start. Lighter bikes are just easier to manoeuvre, but I’m a big guy so the GS is perfect for my size. It’s all about self control and giving yourself plenty of time to learn and get as many miles as you can before you even take a passenger along. Even with a couple of years of riding you are still a beginner, so be aware of the learning curve ahead and avoid overconfidence

So much stupid shit I did on my 125cc that could have easily ended up with me seriously hurt or worse..

It's possible to start on whatever bike but smaller bikes have more of forgiving nature and your mistakes won't be as severe as on a faster bike. As a new rider, you're guaranteed to make mistakes but starting on a faster bike is just adding unnecessary difficulty and only slows down your skill progress it's only good for your ego.

This isn't the first time I found a riders page, then find out they passed years ago.

da fuq? for real?

Wait what

@@patrickolson4348 yes

@@tkurban Yes, sadly

@@smackthatdude Yep, rip man 😔🙏

I think we may have uncovered the mystery of why he stopped uploading. unless ofc...

@@thomasfleming8415yea he died unfortunately

My uncle is an extremely good rider and he wrecked his 600RR at 240km/h. He survived but never touched a bike again.

That is very true, look at Dale Earnhardt, even the best can have freak accidents. Everyone be safe and also keep in mind things can change in a blink of an eye.

@@alanwatts8239 Jesus how did he survive a speed of 240km. Can you share some more information about that? If you don't mind me asking

@@Diya_ilam Sure, he was drunk and coming back home from a barbecue (literally the barbecue of his life) and was riding through a very curvy section of the road in between the cities where we live. As he was finishing one of those curves and entering the next, he accelerated up to 240 (we know this because the speedometer broke during the crash and froze), as he was starting to brake to enter the curve the lost traction momentarily, the bike slid and as it regained traction my uncle was thrown off balance into a pickup that was coming on the other lane. The bike along with his left leg crashed into the pickup's front left side, and he was thrown over it (his leg broke in several places as he did), he flew some 7 meters into a steel cattle fence with so much force that the fence bent a good ten degrees from the impact. His whole body broke but he survived (amazingly with no serious permanent injuries, only a limp in his left leg). He probably only survived because he didn't hit the pickup head on, and the steel fence bent just enough to not get him seriously hurt from the energy. What's even more amazing is that he sat there for more than half an hour waiting for the paramedics. It took him a good 7 months of surgiry and treatment to fully recover.

@@alanwatts8239Such a good rider he rides around drunk at 240kmh without knowing how to brake, I bet.

thats exactly what im doing right now. Learning my way on a 125. Rest in peace to the guy

@@matchboxlover9797 oh so sad man! i just found out his first upload video as i am searching for 600cc bikes and see RIP comments. is there any article about that accident? sorry for your loss

I definitely agree with your advice, but I don’t think he needs to worry about anything anymore. He sadly passed away riding about a month or two ago.

Do you know what happened?

@@sallyrocs I found out that his accident only involved himself. He went off the road in a turn and was ultimately fatal. Seeing his last couple of canyon ride videos, makes me suspect heavily that he sadly did a all too common new rider mistake but sadly with a lethal outcome for him. ☹️ … Too confident to quickly, too fast into a turn, couldn’t make the turn, went wide off the road and then hit something.

@transporter255 His last posted video was July 16th. So that’s more like two and a half months ago for his last video. The math works out to me.

@transporter255 He also had videos scheduled for automatic upload

too late...

@@razy7609 3 years in a row

Just read the comments here and you will find the answers you're looking for. His sister confirmed he passed on facebook, his mom posted pictures of him everyday on facebook saying she was thinking of him, and someone named dr- deadrabbit posted a comment here saying he was riding with him that day and was there when he passed away (that same user also uploaded a video of the ride two days after it occurred with the description RIP Tully) watching the video you can see why a beginner doing a group ride on that mountain is a terrible idea. Tully was on a group ride and on Angeles Crest and took too wide a turn that proved to be fatal.

I saw his first video since im looking to get my first bike, it makes me think twice. I there's to many idiots in cars that don't pay attention and new teen drivers that drive and text. I really want a bike though. Maybe ill get a waverunner instead.

@@adamcain4603 If it gives you any confidence, this driver unfortunately died alone, there were no other vehicles involved. he crashed into a guardrail and was dead on arrival.

Lmao good looking out bro

he actually died in a motorcycle accident

I've managed to find a decadent listing with his name on it filed in Los Angeles County a month after his death. I also found "Tully Rankin RIP" in a weekly bulletin for St. Rita Catholic Parish which is located in Los Angeles County and was published a few weeks after his death. So I'm going to go ahead and believe it's the same person and he did pass away, supposedly on July 10, 2021 according to a comment somewhere on here or the video before this one

@@RyanBurnsRed I looked into those same articles and it looks like you're right. All of his websites and social media profiles are down and inactive too. Only thing I don't understand is how this video was posted on July 16th but he died on July 10th. Auto uploading maybe?

@@NateN34 yes he had videos already set to upload on certain dates

He passed away a few months back in a motorcycle accident 😢

@@marshmallow7640 I heard, sad to say I'm not too surprised. But it didn't have to happen.

What’s speed is good for lanesplitting

@@mistahozzy A speed where you can react in time and not get hit by someone who didn't do a shoulder check when swapping lanes and how close the cars are to one another. The worse the conditions are to see (like nighttime) the slower you should go.

@@mistahozzy Optimally don't lane split at all unless cars are not moving at all. There is really almost no reason to lane split if everything is moving. Just like if you swap lanes to go to the faster lane when there is traffic slows the whole traffic even more, lane splitting will just cause cars to break slowing everything down too. You have to look at this in the perspective of what if many people do it, you alone of course won't make a difference.

Is it that bad of a road?

Yeah, it's a very windy road that speeds up and slows down real quick in some areas. A lot of blind corners where you can't see more than 100ft around the corner plus other dangers like dirt, rocks on the road, and other drivers.

Can you send me the link mate? I just felt so bad I wanna see what happened.
