10 DANGEROUS Mistakes I Made as a Beginner Rider

[@Beatrix_Ditto]

See... when a seasoned rider gives new rider advice, he/she will address gear, lane position at stops, pre-mature group riding and backpacking, TRAINING and MAINTENANCE. These are the things new riders should hear about. 💯 Keeping it real as always, Joe. Nice job.

Always gotta keep it real! Crazy what becomes priority after you’ve made the mistake! Appreciate you watching!

Great tips Joe.

Thanks brother. Appreciate you watching!

[@RidingandWrenching]

excellent advice Joe. I was nearly rear ended on an interstate when traffic came to a sudden stop. The driver behind me wasn't paying attention and came within inches of hitting me. I was lucky.....but I don't want to rely on luck. Staying in gear and paying attention to your surroundings AND the vehicles behind you.

@@RidingandWrenching that’s scary bro! Glad you made it out ok. Gotta always be ready to move. Appreciate ya watching my “arch nemesis!” 😂

[@lonerider1976]

so true! I have all these tips when I started riding my motorcycles. Some of them have saved my life. And the last tip about riding with passenger, I told my wife I needed to practice at the parking lot first with her before we ride on the street road. Thanks a lot for this video. It's a reminder for me.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No problem at all. Everyone needs a reminder now and the (even myself!) Appreciate you watching and commenting!

You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@Charlies_Riding_Adventures]

Very good advice. Especially continuing your riding educatiom. No excuse not to. Even if you can’t afford (or swing the travel) a higher cost class like lock and lean or a day with Robert Simmons, your state will offer BRS classes, returning rider classes and a slightly advanced class you can take. I know Ohio does and I even got certified to teach the Ohio BRS class. Point is, there are lots of options. There is always more to learn. And Joe, I expect an invite to the next one you put on !

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Hit the nail on the head! And you’re always welcome to come brother. Looking forward to seeing you this season!

Great stuff Joe! If I was prioritizing "10 things new riders should do" (to help them avoid these mistakes), I'd put Getting Training at the top of the list... specifically slow/low speed control. Learning the proper techniques and having those skills "at the ready", allows for more brain power to see/avoid all those other scenarios. When you're not worrying/anxious about simply coming to a stop, or making a U-turn, it is SO much easier to assess your surrounds and see/prepare for other hazards.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks man! I couldn’t agree more. It makes riding so much more enjoyable. Appreciate you watching!

[@koehlerjj]

Nice video!

It took me over a year before I put my wife on the back of my bike! Only after I got used to riding with her did, I put my daughter on the back. They are my treasures my everything and together own 2/3rds of my heart! I wanted to be extra sure of my abilities before I took that risk!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

You definitely did the right thing! Appreciate you watching brother!

[@robertdaley1194]

I was on a ride out with friends ,we pulled into a Pub car park ,we stopped I put my foot down into a pothole and dropped the bike ,later I noticed impact damage on my helmet.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Luckily you were wearing a helmet! Could’ve ended up badly. Appreciate you watching!

[@Grumpyoldman60-]

When I was 15 with about 500 miles of street riding under my belt I blew through red light at a intersection ( Andrew square S Boston MA) were 6 streets intersect how I did not get hit still baffles me to this day as it was 2pm on a Wednesday. There have been other incidents in my 50 + years of riding but that had to be the worst and dumbest.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Holy crap! That could’ve ended real bad! Glad you’re here to still tell the story. Appreciate you watching!

[@NoFrictionZone]

Indie Ridge boots are awesome!!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I love mine!

[@NoFrictionZone]

I thought I could sneak in a pass on the right, didn't see the freeway ramp and a car was ready to make their turn, luckily I was able to speed up and made it. Don't pass on the right!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Man, I’ve done that a few times and it is really dangerous. After a few close calls, I realized it’s just better to wait!
