Motorcycling is (for the most part) as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. That said, if there is one thing I can't stand, it's the riders who won't shut up about how dangerous other drivers supposedly are. I mean sure, some people don't pay attention, but how is it that I've been riding for 9 years (mostly in Canada but also briefly in the Philippines) without experiencing all of these "harrowing tales" of crazy four wheelers not paying attention. I usually start riding in late March and put the bike away in early November and use it as a daily driver in the city (edmonton). Take a riding course ffs.

I think the person who told me that was just trying to make sure I never took it for granted that people don't see riders and will hit you, so don't forget it. I know that most people don't ACTIVELY try to hit bikers, so perhaps it a bit of hyperbole.

Just watched your 7 myths video. I agree with your assessment of "laying it down". Let me relay my tale of the time I "tried" to lay it down. It was about thirty years ago. I'm riding on the winding roads in the California hills with a group riders on Sunday cruise. I had been lagging behind a bit taking in the scenery when I decided to catch up with front group. Twisted the throttle and started leaning into the nice right and left turns. As I enter one of the left turns I realize I am going way too fast for this tight corner. I did not want to go over the edge so made the split second decision to bury my left handlebar into the pavement. I was prepared to start sliding, but to my surprise the tires gripped and the bike turned and almost flicked me vertical after making the turn. Pulse was pounding and I had to pull over to deal with the adrenaline. Laying down a bike isn't that easy.
@jasonschwartz94813 жыл бұрын

RE: "I had no choice but to lay her down". Easy bro. Just cause it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean jack for a point of view. I was traveling along on the old 1989 Honda CB250S when the van in the lane to my right and just ahead of me slowed down for no apparent reason. It was to let a car cut across in front of them and into a side street on my left (over both my lane and theirs) and I had no visibility of it coming until it popped out in front of me. In an instant my mind did the math and worked out I could not stop in time and I was going to hit that car. Although I was doing the speed limit, I has too much momentum and I knew that if I separated myself from the bike and kicked or pushed it forward, it would slow my body down and I could drag to a stop faster on the road surface. I did this in a heartbeat and it worked. The bike slammed into the car but I spread myself out to increase my body's surface area on the road (not sure if that did anything) and I came to a stop on my arse about a meter short of the car with no impact injury,.. only road rash. I separated my mass from the bikes mass and imparted most of my inertial energy into the bike. It worked. Now I can say I had not choice but to put her down and you can say I also had the option to slam my body into the car and we would both be right. You don't know till you personally have been there bro

Yammie, regarding "Laying her down". I did actually have this happen to me way back in the early 80's (yup, I'm that old) on a Suzuki GS550ES. I was driving down an asphalt levy road. There was a cable strung across the road (i.e. it was to make sure the road was "closed"). It was either get clothes-line by the cable (it was about 3' off the ground). To go around, would put me off the edge of the levy, either into rip-rock, and water, or down a 20' embankment into an irrigation ditch and farmers field. I "chose" to slid under it, as the other options were near suicide. The only other option was to have noticed it sooner. Now, what was to blame? Me, 100%. But there is such a thing, but I agree, usually it is BS. Now, at 62, I currently am riding a Ninja 650. BTW, love your channel.

I used to dispatch ride, and one day on a trip from Birmingham to London, then back to Manchester, I got so cold and wet, even with the most expensive waterproof gear, I got so cold and wet (there really is no such thing as 100% waterproof gear on a motorbike) that I had to sop and call the recovery, because I had practically got hypothermia and couldn't feel the handlebars, let alone the controls. Doing a 40-50 run in summer time on a nice day is bliss, doing the same in the late 90s in torrential rain 'because it's your job' on a bike, is another thing.

Restraint is the key to "cheap to own". A few years ago, not having the means to get anything better, I looked for a good value and (patiently waited and) found a very low mile 77 Honda Goldwing for $1K (no plastics!). I cleaned it thoroughly, then took it to a local independent for a complete check. Spent another $600 to get it ready, then bought tires for $300. That was *it* for the next two years, besides oil, gas and insurance. Sold it a year later for $2500. Yes, I had fun and it got me - reliably - everywhere. It. Can. Be. Done.

(1) in Australia we motorcyclists are often called future organ donors or temporary Australians, (2) if you have to lay your bike down to avoid an accident then you've already had the accident (3) when people say that bike's going to end up killing you I simply add to a saying from the gun lobby where they say guns don't kill people, people kill people, so I say bikes don't kills riders, cars & car drivers kill riders (4) I've just turned 68 years of age so when They say you're getting too old to ride motorbikes I just simply say that you don't stop riding because you get old you get old because you stop riding. & as Jon Bon Jovi used to sing I'll sleep when I'm dead, that's probably about the time when I plan to stop riding bikes, because I don't really have any plans to stop before then.

I rode about 30+ or so years ago and gave it up because of a number of back to back to back close calls AND then I had a low-speed blown tire. It burst and I went into a curb. It didn't hurt at all but it was my last straw, and I gave it up. I regret giving up riding, or, at least, I think I do. I was never one of these weaving in and out of high-speed traffic fools, but I DID like riding in the rain. One of the things I developed was ESP regarding box drivers, and that was good.

"I had to lay down my motorcycle" roughly translates to "I didn't have the skills in my riding toolbelt to protect me from that situation" practicing brake slide turns, I layed my dual sport down a lot, because I didn't yet have the skill to pull off that maneuver but because of that, I learned a useful tool for off-roading that I have used to make quick turns, slow down to view my forward surroundings or even to get out of danger in case a vehicle pulls out in front of me. it's a tool I have in my belt forever and I know I can use in the right conditions if I need to to save my life. When riding, practice always, trust your training and be aware. if you aren't you'll be more likely to put yourself into situations where "your situation outmatches your riding skills" and that means you'll "lay her down"

"Laying the bike down isnt instinct" Depends on the riders background. I come from dirtbikes and its very common to drop the bike purposefully so that you can get away from it and try and land in the spot and way that you want. For example on the road: Youre riding along and you took a turn too fast for your skill or there is an obstacle that you didnt see in the turn (deer, stopped car, branch, whatever) so what do you do if you cant stop in time? Do you hit the object or the guard rail head on which will throw you over the bars or do you lay the bike down and slide into the rail? Me personally Id rather slide into the rail

Only one on-road accident speed wobble(tank slapper) I must say that I"m a knee dragger to the core. My new bike is a supermoto! I have 5 main points for not being a bad statistic. Most were mentioned. 1. Assume they don't see you, or don't care. Always look for a way out. 2. NEVER ride beyond your abilities. Alcohol increases your opinion of your riding skills. If you ride a Harley, it doesn't take much to go beyond the bikes abilities. 3. Watch out for paint strips in the rain, gravel, and other slick things. They will take you out fast! Go over them as vertical as possible. Adjust your cornering accordingly. 4. NEVER stay in drivers blind spots! On this, WATCH other drivers and look down the road! You can usually spot the unexpected before it happens. 5. Don't let car drivers put you in a bad spot. You need to be somewhat aggressive. Have fun and be safe!

'Laying a bike down' is a method I learnt as a cyclist as a method of basically stepping off the bike and letting it slide away from you so that you dont get dragged along with it, causing you more injury. I perfected my method in such a way that i would be left standing on my feet with no other injury than my pride. I would say that its an essential skill, not a myth at all, but it is a split-second decision to be made only if there is no other way of recovery from an imballance. Its a rare occurence, but that skill has saved me from injury a few times.

@@andyfumo8931 Everyone does, it's boring to point the obvious. My username was different but after google took over youtube my Google name became my username. Long story short, this is my birthname. And my family already owns land in mexico, I rather not own any in USA. This country sucks, sucks all around. I almost feel like being in mexico is better. But I was born here, so I have to do a lot of paperwork to remove my citizenship here and get citizenship in mexico.

Absolutely agree to all points here. Especially wet weather riding. As a Brit I've done my fair share of riding the wet stuff and its perfectly safe. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.....

4:08 I've been to that dealership..lol..never thought I'd see a place I've been to in a Yammie video. Everything you said was very true especially the rain part. It's really magic on a weekday in the morning and the road has been wet and is drying up and everyone else is at work and guess what...the entire road is your playground. Fun times.

Riding on ice is great. If you ever get the chance during a tip festival you should give it a try. I ride my old enduro rain or shine. Mud and puddles or not. Sport bikes and hard tails on dirt roads can be issues. Screw a car own a truck. My old enduro and jeep xj barely go fast enough to travel in time. Kind of like a Delorean. Need 100 bhp 2 stroke bike around 500 lbs but less weight is better. I can do a mean 2 stroke shake dance.

I laid my First bike down twice. First time was when the Throttle Stuck and actually kept accelerating in a U-turn... Took Off the Friction Based Cruise Control right after that.. Did NOT have it Set! Second time I was Not going vary fast and was turning again to pull into work. They had JUST Got Done laying down Fresh Tar and Gravel... Bent the Handle Bars and had to use the torch at work to heat them up and bend them back...

I've rode in rain sleet snow and sunshine and women do notice your bike depending on what you have . I had a chopper and I promise women where all over it and me 😁 I've also had V star Yamahas and enduros most of this video is on point but not all of it . And it's true you always have an option to lay your bike down or not but sometimes laying it down might be a better choice depending on what your alternative is . I haven't ran across that yet and hope I never do

Couldn't be more right about girls liking bikes. Most actually seem to have a negative opinion of them. The benefit that I feel you get when you ride motorcycles is more indirect. This is due to the fact you tend to be more adventurous of a person, which in theory provides a bit more attraction.

66 years old. Been riding all my adult life. I prefer a lighter bike, so, no, I'm not one of those old guys on a Harley. I live in the mountains of Tennessee, where there are a lot of twisty roads with switchbacks. I ride a Yamaha XV-250, which is perfect for this area, and for my riding style. I also use my bike as my main transportation, and only use my pickup when the weather is too bad, or if I have to haul something that won't fit in my saddle bags, or on my carrying rack. Best advice I have been given, "Ride as if everyone else on the road was out to kill you."

Damn, u could b my mirror image. I'm 66, been riding 50 years but I'm one of those older guys on a Harley. I live in East Tennessee where the roads are real twisty and I love the thrill of the ride. And I do Ride like every one out there is out to kill me especially sport bike riders who think those great roads are their personal slollum and that they are the only ones who deserve to be on these East Tennessee twisty roads. I don't yield to reckless driving. But I damn sure enjoy my old man's Harley. And it is my only transportation. Rain or shine, cold or hot. When It snows I just stay home these days but I've been known to ride in the snow.

@@eclipsethebrave2222 I do keep an eye on my tires. I just replaced them for the second time since I bought the bike this summer. If the tread is getting low, or if they have age cracking, I buy new ones and replace them both at the same rime. I also keep an eye on the tire pressure, which not only affects tire life, but is critical to proper handling of the bike I'm an old time biker, and have always done all my own mechamics. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's sad more people don't take the little time to check these things. It is very important.

Indeed. I learned that adage years ago and use it with the truck too. Taught this to all my kids as well. Trust no one and nothing. 50 years into bikes and my only accident was my fault. Single bike, no car, didn't see a large hole. Bike stayed up but the damage to two rims was bad. I was young and the lesson served me well. But I still ride as if falling off is inevitable....it keeps me on my toes.

I spent a few miserable winters on a motorcycle and I'd never even consider doing it again. I got my first bike at 12 and I always had at least one bike until I was in my 50s, in all that time, I can say that I had to lay a bike down twice, the first was on a dirt bike hauling ass down a dirt road when I came up on a cable across the road, I laid it down and slid under it. The second, I was coming through an intersection doing about 20 when a Bronco turned RIGHT in front of me, I had a choice of hitting the brakes and skidding into the side of a Bronco, or going down, it was slow and barely hurt the bike.
