7 Habits New Motorcycle Riders Must Develop

[@jvillain9946]

Instead of thinking youre invisible to other drivers, rather expect everyone else to do the dumbest thing possible at every moment. It will keep you safer.

[@jordanmchighlander9365]

My philosophy when driving is "every driver is a below average driver, so make room for crazy."

[@ZZP-SchoolNL]

I suggest to do both.

[@adam346]

@@jordanmchighlander9365 extension to this: if you can't see crazy, you can't plan for it.

[@Holisticxoxo]

I assume everyone is a murderous psychopath, because they are.

[@NinnjaSquid]

i think you miss understood what he meant by ride like you are invisible......

[@Q_N-]

Know what’s sad? Even as a veteran cyclist. I constantly see fools on bikes expecting everyone to be wary of them. All the while being angry and vindictive when the opposing driver wasn’t even aware of what they’ve done. I’ve really had enough of seeing these type of riders. They make people like myself and others who are patient look bad.

[@stevec6427]

I also cycle and I'm amazed at the attitude of cyclists to road safety. It doesn't matter who is to blame when you're dead. As Jesus demonstrated, righteousness is no guarantee that people won't kill you. (No I'm not religious)

[@allenvayner4987]

@Steve C you don't have to be, relationship >religeon with Jesus.

[@LK-dn2ms]

i agree for the most part but please don't give an excuse to bad drivers that are blind to everything except themself. they deserve everything coming to them

[@Q_N-]

@@LK-dn2ms While I absolutely agree that bad drivers don’t deserve any sympathy. I do find it excessive to engage in an aggravated assault when you could just avoid them. Just the other day I was taking my family to the mall, and saw a guy lane split at break neck speeds. A car merging out onto the freeway nearly clipped him. He proceeded to slow down and flip the driver off. Instead of counting his blessings and continuing on his way. Just for the record, a bunch of people driving behind this biker, saw the whole thing. Several even honked at him for being an idiot. If we’re going to talk about “bad drivers” I’d say the amount of bad and reckless motorcyclists range in far greater numbers. Whether you agree with me or not, if you ride, you should acknowledge that most of our cycle brethren do stupid shit quite often. I’ve had my fair share of unnecessary aggravation during my teen years, but I’ve learned if you’re on 2 wheels, don’t mess with a person behind a 2 ton vehicle.

[@TheRevenantBalor]

Totally understand that but people need to leave their phones alone while driving and stop blaring their crappy music in traffic not paying attention to anything because they are making a TikTok video and dancing.

Tip: Choose self preservation over entitlement.

[@sallyrocs]

Perfectly said!

[@ma3stro681]

Being “smooth” is excellent advice, one a good rider mate of mine said to me years ago …

[@zrspige]

“Practicasing.” -Yammie Noob 2023

[@ZeroKitsunei]

I like that you went more in depth about the "ride like everyone wants to kill you." I feel like people stared say that cause when they said be hyper aware people where like "hyper what?" But I think that's what contributes to the road rage. Cause while yes if a car driver makes "a mistake" is can end in death for us. But it turns that mistake, that you easily avoided,turns into an attempt on your life.

[@parmelee23]

NEVER underestimate the power of loud music to fix mechanical problems! 😉

[@unionrdr]

All good points. We live in a cul-de-sac. On the 4th of July, I went for my first ride outta our development on my V Star 250 LCC with my daughter on her virago 650 Classic Cruiser. Went for like 3 laps around the development to warm up first. On the 3rd lap, a Fed-Ex truck was parked in front of my neighbor's house 3 doors down. We were approaching from the other end of the street. I slowed to 20MPH to see if he was going to wait behind the truck. In a blue dodge truck, early 2000's with wide chrome wheels. When I just got to the point of no return, I sped up to 25MPH to get outta the way quicker. He gunned it and tried to hit me. I had moved to lane position 3 to give as much room as possible on initial approach. Missed me by about 2ft! Same asshat that I had a run in with on the rt57 bypass in west Elyria, OH. This road rager must be stopped!

[@weshammermeister9044]

Must be riding time in Austin, Great advise for beginners and also a reminder for experienced riders. Unfortunately in the great white north all we can do is go into the garage and sit on them and dream still. Remind us again in about May please.

[@monstereng43]

My problem are the people in cars that always try to race every single sports bike they see and they ride your a*$, Even when you try to speed up and get a good distance between you and them they try their best to catch back up and ride you again.

[@Desekratedd]

Yeeeup

[@jakegarrett8109]

Option 1, don't get a sport bike if you drive like grandma. Option 2, you have a throttle, you might as well have a Harley if you're not using it. Wait, that's the same as option 1...

[@MPD622]

Or, having been rear ended by a car whilst on a bike, you pull the fuck over and let them go and ride the exhaust of someone else

[@danksurge]

When people are "competitive" or driving dangerously, swerving etc I do my best to put distance between us. Especially on the highway, sometimes its best to pull over and have a breather and let them pass. Nothing to prove out there besides your conflict avoidance skills and urbane behaviour.

[@jhoned5762]

When in a 2 way , street, be careful of the person to the right (or where cars park) initiating a u turn in time so that you could hit him , and hurt yourself. Lots of bike accidents have happened by a car making a quick, u turn with no warning.

[@jeffruebens8355]

Best way to save your life and money is to get a single cylinder Royal Enfield. It will force you to stay on 55 mph roads, and is lighter than many other motorcycles. Probably best to not buy used, since previous bad maintenance is more of a risk compared to a car. Pay extra attention to anyone in a bigger vehicle turning left, where you drive on the right side of the road like the US.

[@thedouble2403]

Totally agree. I ride a honda grom to stay safe and out of high speed. Groms are great for safe riding and keeping you out of anything above 55 mph.

[@jordanmatthias9861]

Dyna Bro says do wheelies early so your more expensive future bike doesn’t get dropped

I dont think most people realized what Yammie was doing in this video. Like his strategy to beat these tips into your head.

Today spent some time practicing emergency breaking, tight maneuvers, etc. on my 2023 MT-03. Since you've ridden that bike a few times (and hated on it repeatedly) maybe you can tell me what I should expect out of my clutch and front brake levers that I am not getting (in one of your videos you said stock levers were cheap and generally terrible), how they should look and feel, and which aftermarket levers you would recommend to replace these. By the way, I'm increasingly impressed with your vids. Thanks. - Tucker

I've been thinking of getting a bike. Had a CBR 125 as a kid, where I live we get a1 licence, 11kw max power at 16, A2 at 18 with 5 driving lessons, two theory hours or a driving test. Haven't been riding in a long time, couple of times abroad or a dirt bike. I'll have to do the license improvement from A1 to A2. Full A which has you drive any bike that is just road legal, have to have years of experience. These new 300-600cc bikes are very impressive sometimes, like the new Duke or vitpilen/svartpilen 401

[@leoglasmeyer2853]

I don't understand, why you have to retake A2 if you got it at 18? And isn't in europe the "all bikes any power" license A?

[@javel114]

@@leoglasmeyer2853 they changed the law, before at 18 you could just send the traffic management/police a notice that can they change it on the licence. After 2012 and if you didn't, as I did not and should have sent the notice you have to take driving test or 5 extra lessons. Kind of just taking your money away and to driving schools

[@javel114]

@@leoglasmeyer2853 and for us it is A1 is less than 11kw, so 125cc, A2 is 35kw or less and A licence you can get after 2 years A1+ A2 2 years. Kinda funny but at least Finland is super strict when it comes to motorcycles

A motorcycle including the headlight is totally hidden behind the black sharpened point of a pencil. And remember, at 100mph you are covering 50 yards (half a football field) every second. They really don't see you coming.

[@garrysimmons111]

I think you should choose stock vids/photos that show riders wearing reasonable protective gear. It makes me cringe to see riders without helmets or gloves in a video trying to help newbies get better. It sets a bad (IMO) precedent. I realize that road rash probably won't kill you, but at least show riders wearing the MSF minimum stuff (helmet, gloves, jacket, long pants, sturdy shoes).

I have decade+ experience driving BMX doing flips and whatever you could imagine and during all of that you only look and group ur body to have a nice smooth landing and whenever i hear about if you keep looking long enough one direction then the bike starts going that way automatically… ive tried/tested everything and I just cant see how is that THAT important… also when im driving i use peripheral vision instead locking down my focus on one specific place… im not saying im experienced driver i might have only 1500hours of experience. Can somebody go more into details about that and maybe give me so imperical knowledge/experience where you actually realised that… F*ck this is very important. Thank you!
