I had no business owning a bike like a gsxr6. I was white knuckles majority of the time I owned it and got rid of it before I ever laid it down, well, except that one big rock in my driveway at 2mph lucky I had frame sliders and full leathers otherwise who knows what kind of skin grafts I could have needed haha I still talk shit about how my 04gsxr 600 was better than most 600s(or bigger) from Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, HD(ewe), and even Ducati, triumph, and BMW....hahaha jk at least for the last 3 there.

I kept thinking about crashing and dying for some reason. I pulled over and let him know that today was just not my day. I ended up just riding back home (15min ride) and staying home.

Don't be afraid to add a bit more speed (as beginners usualy drive too slow loosing inertion for proper cornering) 5. Drag a rear brake (to make slow speed maneuver really stable) 4. Learn a bunch of special skills ( practice, pivoting/turning bike on bike stand, skidding,...) 3. Listen to your gut (as a superstitions sometimes come true so why test fate that day) 2. Ignore the voices (as beginners to do crazy shit) 1. Track days You're welcome

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #3! That was a lesson I learned the hard way. I'd blown off riding to work the day before; since there was another nice day on tap, I was set on riding and not blowing another beautiful, September day. My little voice told me not to take the bike though. On my way to work, the sun blinded me; I got in to a turn too hot, and ended up crashing. I was all right, but my bike wasn't. Moral of the story: LISTEN to your little voice!

Broke a few bones, but definitely could have been way way worse, and very easily too.

Another great tip is to WEAR EARPLUGS. Not only does it help save your hearing but it can also seriously improve your confidence and your riding performance by removing distractions, and if you use a Cardo or Sena device you can still easily hear the music. I have no affiliation with them, but personally I use Surefire EP-7 or EP-10 earplugs. They are reusable, last about 6 months, and have a convenient little carry case- all for about $25 per set.

@prissy1230 2 жыл бұрын

I respectfully disagree with your ear plugs suggestion. Using earplugs or a helmet with Bluetooth (for music) shuts your warning system down of what's going on around you; a car or bike coming up on you too quickly so you can evade...emergency vehicle coming up behind you...skidding of other vehicles...etc. On 2 wheels, incognizance can get you killed due to loss of your main senses of sight, hearing and feeling. If your exhaust is that loud to deafen you, baffle it or get a quieter one.

@RobbieBussard 2 жыл бұрын

@@prissy1230 I ride a sportbike with a stock (read:quiet) exhaust and can still hear horns, skidding cars, and other concerns. If I couldn't, I wouldn't make the suggestion. As far as cars coming up behind me, that is what mirrors are for. Earplugs, especially in noisy environments (most horns are 80+ dB and air noise in your helmet at freeway speeds is about the same) will not deafen you; they simply deaden sound according to the NRR rating of the plug. SureFire offers the EP3 and EP4 series of plugs, too, which offer lower amounts of noise reduction so you can hear better in quiet environments. Please actually try this for yourself and understand the context and the usability of the application before you tell me I'm wrong. Thanks.

With the Grom I learned my friction zone, throttle control, counter steering, turning, shifting and everything on the Grom. I just transferred what I learned on there to the R7 and extra practice getting use to the bike and no problems on my end. Practicing in neighborhoods with the Grom you will need to know throttle control. Grom's can go 60+ that's plenty in the real world scenario.

I will sometimes ride behind another biker on the highway, especially in traffic. We are safer and more visible in a pack. Always staggered, always giving them plenty of space in case they do some dumb shit. If you get another rider behind you, just ride predictably, over signal so they know what you're doing, and always ride within the law.. they'll be passing you eventually lol.

One tip that I saw another motorcyclist suggest was "Keep your eyes on the road as far as you can see" or something like that. They said to do it so that you have enough time to dodge debris and potholes.

Ride with random rider is the MOST dangerous thing. Just this weekend, I passed a dude on a sport bike (he was riding quite slow on the highway - with one hand. Never like people riding one hand), but then he sped up and hung closely to my tail, then proceeded to follow me (passed whatever cars that I passed). Took the fun of my ride, because I had to constantly watch him. I just wanted to tell the guy to get the f**k away from me. Pass me or keep a large distance between.

Another great video- Something didn't feel right/intuition is a real thing. I tell the guys that work for me that your senses and brain work together all the time and you are constantly collecting information. So if something doesn't look right and there is a danger feeling heed that because it is often your senses and brain working together to hook you up. Stupid example: Yesterday, you casually heard someone say it is probably going to rain tomorrow. You haven't seen the weather or whatever but your brain is telling you that today may be less safe. My guy is in a small North eastern town in Nigeria questioning someone and he notices people going inside during the cooler part of the day which is not normal. Bad guys might be coming.

Especially in Toronto Canada, where we have sneaky traffic cams that nail you for a digital ticket for doing 43km/hr on a 40km, so on my Ninja 400 0 to illegal happens real fast. So a quick dash check is good, imo.

@grenzviel4480 Жыл бұрын

actually, I do look on my dash while driving a car. Me personally on a bike, I look at the tachometer more than my speedometer because I like to maintain at the revs that my bike is rated to be the most efficient at and where the power of my bike is just in case I need to pass or whatever.

I completely agree with the not ignoring you gut but at the Sametime ignoring my gut yes I had a accident but that accident may have saved my life. Because I went to the hospital just to get checked (no major injuries) but they did find a mass in my chest which turned out to be a rare form of cancer. Had i not ignored my gut and even made the comment to my wife that I just have a feeling i should take the car, God only knows when it if it would've been found because I don't get sick so I don't go to the doctor. To bring this to a end I well say completely go with your gut if something feels bad but if you don't hey everything happens for a reason and just be safe and ride with care.

I don't have much experience on bikes yet, but I have a 600whp car whose only purpose in life is to murder its driver at any opportunity. The parts about listening to the voice in the back of your head that is telling you "you shouldn't be doing this today", and ignoring the inclination to push past your limits, resonates alot. With cars what seems to get people, is trying to impress a passenger. Drivers will do things they otherwise wouldn't try in order to impress people. I'm sure there is a bike equivalent.
