10 Tips for New Riders - Things I did right! as a new rider!

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Good stuff Cue, rode many years ago and just started riding again at seventy and loving it everyday. Not looking forward to winter ✌️🇺🇸

[@MikeBell-ez9gf]

Love the "Old Wing" Freudian slips! I started riding at 64 years old, I regret the years I missed.

[@RidingandWrenching]

😂😂I wondered if anyone would pick up on that!

[@MikeBell-ez9gf]

@@RidingandWrenching I'm stealing that term.

[@jessieholt9238]

We are very blessed to have u in our brotherhood. I gained a great new bro, and we are joined by the hip now & forever 😎

[@RidingandWrenching]

That's awesome! I may take a class with Pro Rider next year. I haven't' yet decided which classes I'll take next year

[@dugbucky3298]

@@RidingandWrenching Big Dif in the Proroder and Rober Simmons. Both are excellent. Prorider will include some avoidance and braking, good stuff.

[@carlossantiago7551]

Thanks for this kind of video. They are very helpful for us the beginners. I’m 63 and started riding bikes this last April.

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@carlossantiago7551 awesome! Old beginners make great riders because we are smarter!

Just turned 50 and finished the basic rider course for the 2nd time. I took it 15 years ago and got a street bike that I never rode because was deployed so I sold it. I want to get back into riding and get a grown up bike so I took the course again. I just retired from the Navy in June and I'm starting my 2nd career. I'm looking forward to adding riding to my list of activities. Your story is encouraging! Thank you.

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@hotdangdaho that's awesome! I only did abt 6 years in the Navy and I'd had enough. Looking back, I wish I had stayed in and retired

[@markszablewski6619]

Great advice!..I grew up riding, dirt bikes, pedal bikes, then a big lull with motorcycles after getting my drivers license..fast forward 30yrs, got the itch to ride again, intimidating for sure, a buddy helped me pick out a bike, a 06' SG, last motorcycle that I owned was a Yamaha 400 twin..currently on a 12' FLTRX and couldn't be happier..

[@Pit-HD-rider]

Great video, valuable and inspiring tips! Thx👍🤘

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thank you! Hope it helps someone.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Wonderful things to think about riding. You have sure come a long way in a short amount of time. Keep on truck'n!

[@MartyGalbraith-ls8oc]

Really good video for beginners and experienced riders

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thanks! I hope it inspires someone to keep practicing and taking classes

[@StopDeportingVeterans]

Great video Cue. And I would say these are great tips for all levels of riders.

[@vasu925]

Started riding at age 55 and almost 61 now. Wish I would have seen this video a few years ago but I saw it now and plan to implement a couple ideas (mileage goals, skills goals). My goal is 100 miles per week average (so if on several weeks vacation w/o motorcycle, need to make up the miles on other weeks).

[@Gpops_Gigi]

Love all your subjects and really enjoy all your commentary. Best wishes to you and your channel. Continue the great work.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Ditto! Thanks for watching!

[@LYeah-dp9mp]

Sir, I love the video, very informative and a bunch of great tips not just for new riders but veteran riders as well. I’m 56 started riding back in 89 first bike was a 450cc Honda Night Hawk I’ve been a fan ever since. The Army offered many different MC Courses from the Basic Level to Intermediate as well as the sport bike course. I loved each one. I’ve gotta make a trip to GA from SC to visit Mr. Simmons and check out a class or two. Stay safe take care and always rubber side down…….

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thank you! You will learn alot training with Robert.

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I would love to practice with you anytime. I too have now been riding for two years and wheel placement is what I have been working on a lot lately. Great video and you’re a great rider.

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@thanosetsitty1896 thank you! I live near Memphis. You're welcome to join me anytime....or I'm willing to travel!

[@ricotime9264]

I have a 2022 RGL that try to ride when I’m home being in a cross country truck driver with my amazing wife but I do slow speed practice every time I ride which I find very beneficial to my riding …. Thanks you for doing a awesome KZbin channel ❤️✊🏽

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thank you! Practice every time you get on your bike. Every little bit helps you become a better rider

[@danielsanders463]

Thanks for the great video!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thanks!

[@BIGCHIVES4]

Another great video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jaybeauvais4311]

Stay safe

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thank you!

[@TD205]

10K miles a year is some good riding. That's about how much I average or more. Gotta attend some motorcycle rallies. It was cool meeting you at "TTRTH" this year. I still LLLLOOOVVEEEE my heel-toe sifter😅😅. Good information. Awesome vid CUE!!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Heal-Toe shifters is a product of satan!😂 I take the heel shifter off any bike I have.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Aye!!!!!! Ride Every Day and Enjoy It!!!! Cue you have some fantastic videos these are some great tips, and I think I agree and have experienced most of the things you have mentioned. Great job, I know you miss the GT500... I miss seeing it in the background LOL.

[@RidingandWrenching]

As soon as I said it, I knew what clip I was going to add to the video!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

@@RidingandWrenching 🤣 good stuff, and thanks!!🤙🏿

[@zavlo72]

👍 excellent!

[@richc767]

Cue I like your channel and how you relate things. What made you decide to start riding a motorcycle?

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@richc767 great question. I met one of the guys in my motorcycle club at a bar. We started hanging out together and I eventually started riding. I vowed I would never ride a motorcycle but there I am!

[@richardclarke8117]

Cue great video. However, I would love a more in-depth video accompaniment. I would love to see a narration of several before and after videos of you riding after taking the course and showing the progress and the journey. Nothing “be the boss” length video but a longer form for newbies like myself and others to see. Just an idea. Keep up the great work!!

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@richardclarke8117 that's a great idea! I will do that

[@ricotime9264]

Michael how you doing I follow this guy his name is Cue on riding and wrenching awesome guy awesome content I too started seriously riding at later age 60 to be exact even though I did ride mini bikes and dirt bikes as a kid … love they chsnj tho the biggest part lil KZbin channel on the entire Inter webs 🤣❤️✊🏽

[@RidingandWrenching]

😂Yes sir!!

[@DPGgliding]

Great video. What seat(s) do you have on your bikes? Would you recommend one? One for touring. I’m considering changing mine. This is my second year riding. I’m 58, so I appreciate your story. And … which club are you a member of?

[@RidingandWrenching]

For long distance touring, my favorite seat is the Harley Hammock. It is softer than a Saddleman Seat (which I is too firm for me). My club is Raw Iron Brotherhood

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

This was great Cue! Maybe you can find a Tesla motorcycle club! 😂

[@RidingandWrenching]

That's a great idea!

[@billcarson1966]

Your first mistake - buying a Harley. That's like skipping weed and going straight to heroin; you're automatically an addict from that point on! LOL

[@RidingandWrenching]

You got that right! 5 years of riding and 5 Harley's.....plus a bunch of t shirts!

[@gregstenberg2966]

Cue, love your channel, I’ll try to keep it 12:09 short. 1st ride 1988 Millington(your neck of the woods)85 Honda interceptor 500(yes get a sport bike). Love law abiding biker, you are also are an inspiration. Keep up the great info Cue!

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'd love to get a sport bike and learn how to ride on a track. The class I took at Champ Riding School gave me the bug!
