Ive hand my bike for 2 years now and ive learned alot of life lessons

Leeeeeeeerooooooy JEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIINNNNNSS

I remember when I passed my CBT, about a week later, still brand new to riding and I was at work, when my shift finished I walked out to see snow EVERYWHERE, I had to learn on the spot, took it slow and it wasn't too bad apart from the temperature, helps I had the roads to myself as I was taking it at about 18-20 up some 40s due to how bad the sludge was 😂

Good decision from the rider. This happened to me earlier this year but I was slightly ahead of the vehicle, van went past all his exits, ignoring the lane markings and took me out as I was exiting. Even though I was in the right and the van driver is facing prosecution, due to me not riding defensively it's cost me my bike, a broken leg and a broken back.

Love my wing I am a spoiled old HD Rider!

Love mine!!! 50 k

Where you look the bike follows… look where you want to go NOT where you don’t want to go…

These videos are great to refresh from falling into bad habits... thanks

Can you tell me where lane filtering is defined in the UK legislation? Filtering is mentioned a few times in the Highway Code, but it is not defined. To me it seems that the UK legislation allows filtering in some circumstances but doesn't define it. Filtering is not defined in my country either but it's very clear what is allowed and what is not.

Great video, and so good to hear him using the correct terms like rider and riding instead of what the police use driver and driving of the bike!

Ya cause your barely doing the speed limit 😂 bro is at speed for any turn

I did this once, outside my parents' house on my old 125. Parked up, turned off ignition, thought "ok, now I can relax", forgetting the side stand wasn't down yet. Only realised when I'd leaned too far and was falling. You only make that mistake once.

How to filter..Dont or live somewhere there's no traffic jams 🇦🇺

Best instructor at roadcraft.

"point de friction"' at least that's how we call it in french ! You dont even need throttle my brother !

In a review, can you ride it prior and Then sit an talk about it, I dont see Any advantage to trying to talk about it while riding .........so ride it ,hold that thought and then tell us about it......I hope you would not sit and talk about anything with you hemet on .... Try it , we will hear you better , seems like Alot of Brits do this ......think....R

One thing Im learning is that there are good and bad arguements wherever you ride :P

Gshould see my kymco ruffer than that haha

Im from Iowa, in the USA. Honestly? This is good advice for any winter driving. This is also how you keep your car on the road And yeah, ABS does you no good in snow…i currently dont have it (i myself have never driven with working traction or ABS, but mom has). It just…idk, doesnt really stop you from sliding. Keep under 35 i town, youll be able to stop at any lights no problem. Now, getting up a hilly driveway? I almost side swiped the dumpster. Almost…i was proud of how well i handled that slide at 16. The ONLY way to get up it is to gun the engine and hope for the best, because you will not have traction once youre 1/4 of the way up

When I was learning I struggled to fit in the mirrors, signal, move position in lane for Right Hand Turn, check oncoming traffic, check mirrors, then life saver (over shoulder look behind to make sure no vehicles are overtaking), doing all of that just to turn right. But giving myself more time by starting the process earlier meant i could fit it all in. And I remember the instructor saying "look ahead, look further ahead. Then look even further ahead." That really helped me to plan ahead, which actually makes faster riding much easier to do. I've watched several of your videos and i like your style of teaching. You are direct but also mindful of being too harsh, of being unnecessarily critical, you're trying to build confidence while also correcting. It's good.

Agree or disagree. But as far as I'm concerned, bike tests these days are just a money-making scam. When I was younger, you took your test on the road with one guy standing and watching you. and it must have taken half an hour. All this crap now is just to con people out of a lot of money, and I don't like being conned. I haven't passed my test, but I was riding a 250-cc for years and never had any accidents. It may be important if you intend to ride a high-powered bike but not a 250-cc There is nothing they could teach me that would make me ride any better. I'm sure it would be easier and less hassle to get your pilots license. I only wish I had taken my test before they brought all this bullsh*t in.

I genuinely cannot think of anywhere more lame than England and its motorcycle riders. Lowering a Bandit 2" and ordering a stock exhaust? Fucking yikes.

With care. R

"Excellent control of the bike. You passed the test, Mr. Hunter Biden."

rider modes later the throttle respone-that's what it is supposed to do. You obviously don't know how to ride a shaft drive motorcycle. You can't change gear like a chain drive because you don't have the same amount of freeplay. Down shift you have to blip the throttle, Up shift you have to time your gear change with the revs-can't be too low in the revs or too high. Idle should be about 1,800 rpm. Cruise control is telling you that it's still engaged-that's why it's flashing so that you can see it. You're obviously only used to rubbish japanese bikes & you don't recognise a great bike if it run over you. Yes it is called character & personality.

May i asko you about the exhaust system, Russ?

Nearly completed a good turn, almost did it, my heart goes out to you,your not the only one,

Some of the most informative videos out there😊

Where I live we have many beautiful small twisty roads through our woods. We often come across gravel from driveways or dirt roads. Crossing deer and cars reversing out from properties are also common. Safe motorcycle speed is significantly below the 50 MPH speed limit. A big problem is tailgating local cars.

WTF IS THE POINT

Been riding over 25 years and I'm fairly quick on trac but who really cares if you can't do a feet up U-turn? If i have to turn round in a tight space i dont care if the feet go down or its a 3 point turn.

Is it ok to alwayss get many gears in a row without letting clutch out, i get in first gear high speed & then clutch in & keeping in & get 4 or 5 gears & then let clutch out & downshift same way

i love how instructors are always so calm.

Hi, Where did you get the clip for the rear that the sits above the rear light that the single cover slides under and the it clips into the seat lock? Part number would be great 👍🤞

That non starting was the story of my life with my KTM Superduke 990 R...... sold it back to main dealer. Fantastic bike when it started.

Great tips. Thanks. This looks like the A5012 Via Gellia Road from Cromford to Newhaven. (Edit - def is as theres the Woodside Cafe on left at start). Lovely in the spring with the aroma of the wild garlic as you ride through the wooded section.

So, answer your own thumbnail: why didn't you buy it?

I reckon most of the drivers are pulling over because a motorcyclist with a hi Viz jacket might be a cop.

Great video, thanks! I have been riding for quite a while but want to get smoother in my shifts. The "blip" method, does it become second nature once you do it for a while?

Sanitised the way it should be.. Well it aint squire... Motorcyclists speed in around behind side... Your anti car bias needs work .. Texting havent seen you....swilling through gaps appearing from nowhere... So much for the vaunted 1.5m you were nearly in with them.

If you rode a bicycle as a kid, you'd be familiar with most of these techniques, specially if your friends challenged you to ride as slow as possible. Also useful in training for motorcycling as an adult. Most of these techniques apply yo bicycles too.

Thanks, you're a gent.

Excellent advice, thank you.

The tick over is set high to stop some of the vibration even though it now has a balancer shaft that doesn't kick in until 1500 revs so if tick over is set lower the vibration would be similar to a Harley

You can’t park their mate

What hope do the rest of us have, if these fools can't even stay upright?

Might be a really silly question. I cannot seem to get the full lock on without feeling like the bike is about to tip over. I aim for about 10-12 MPH (at least it feels that fast as I am looking at where I want to be) but I always need to put my foot down. I'm quite inconsistent with my U turns in a road. Trying to practice here www.google.com/maps/@54.6101732,-3.517089,3a,75y,220.16h,66.65t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjqo57BleLGShJwpEeGEMPg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu

No biker i have seen filters like that ... Thats the sanitised should be ideal. What lane are you in ? Reality is a swirling fast in out which results in something coming at you at a rate of knots way to fast relying on me not to hit them . Not a negative but what i see.

You are one of the worst drivers I have ever seen, your first bad move is your illegal riding between lanes full of cars, and it all goes downhill from there...

(out of everyone, why???...)
