the one thing I I'd like to mention: plz when you're sitting at a stoplight and it changes from red to Green, I don't immediately hit the throttle I take a couple seconds and check both left and right to make sure the people have actually stopped for their red lights. I have seen so many people fly through the intersection not even paying attention it is most dangerous when it changes from green to red and they're in a hurry....

[@soylentgreen2065]

Good advice. Also when sitting at a light check your rearview mirror for the a-hole that doesn't see you and cant stop

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Great idea.

[@rstarrkk]

Dude yeah. I've almost been smacked in my work truck so many times from people running reds on their lunch break or whatever.

[@ChadWinters]

I agree, although it raises the risk that the car behind you will run you over "because the light turned green and I thought you were going"

[@Voltaic314]

Yeah I second this, from a different perspective. I was someone who flew through an intersection not meaning to. I got hit (as I should have been), and totalled my car. I still get some minor PTSD from it. It was a total accident, I just blanked out and saw the red light but my brain didn't register to stop for some reason. I regret it to this day. Luckily I didn't kill anyone and my life isn't over or whatever. But it can happen to anyone. It's not just a 1 in a million drunk driver doing it. This happens to real people. I'm serious. Even if you're driving a car, it's ALWAYS a good practice to look both ways even if going through a green and in your car. ALWAYS do it!

[@lex1945]

A buddy of mine died last year on his bike after drinking in a bar. Went back to home, way too fast, crashed into a parked semi next to the road. His head, and one of his legs were severed and his body was laying 50 meters further down the road. The first responder was a local guy who passed the scene in his car. He was in shock as after seeing the carnage. So, don't drink and drive. It can kill you in an instant.

[@detritus5151]

Not worth it. Heard about a Friday afternoon quick drink after work - time to go home, dude is so wasted he cannot sit on his bike (CBX1000 - the 6 cyl beast) while it's on the main stand, so his "friends" help him by tying him to the bike with belts and ties and get him wobbling on his way. He almost made it home, but there's this notorious off-camber right handed crest - a seriously nasty corner - and he high sided it. They say the bike must have rolled 5 or 6 times, breaking every single bone in his body and turning him into jelly.

#5 is no joke. From a dead stop or rolling. Left turns are big red flags. I've had drivers opposite me looking right at me (I can see their eyes) and they still cut you off or will t-bone you. Great tips for street folks Yammie.

[@jackhobster2541]

Stopping at a green light is a great way to get rear ended, I see it all the time at junctions and roundabouts, people either looking at the colour of the light or trying to see around the car in front to see if they can go immediately after them without realising the car in front has actually stopped and either go into the back of them or have to slam on the brakes If you're going to use that tip make sure you keep a close eye on the person behind you so you don't get slammed from behind

I just started riding and this video helped me know what habits to avoid

[@michaelmorgan5714]

I was not expecting much after # 1 was a commercial for of all things a phone holder. But you are dead on correct about everything else. I agree with all of it. Back around 83-84 I took a couple of car racing courses and there was a fellow that was giving 3 courses for motorcycles. The first course was well attended the 2nd and 3rd not so much but I had already paid for them and we got even more personal attention. I never had an accident since. I came close but had the training to get out of trouble. In case your wondering I'm 68 now and continue to ride. Mike from Maryland

[@adamschoedel8829]

All excellent tips. The only thing I would add or modify is number 1. Looking ahead is definitely good in most situations. But if, like me, you live in a population-dense area with dense traffic (I live in Kyoto Japan) , it changes the equation a little. Flowing with the traffic around you can be more of a priority than looking down the road. If you look ahead too much, you might rear-end what's in front of you. In general, looking ahead is wise advice, but pay attention to the specific environment you're in and adapt your approach as necessary. Just keep your head in the game wherever you are.

[@Armka5]

Same situation for Kenya.

[@MapleSyrup9181]

Only one I'm doing is the worst one, rolling through intersections. I'm looking left, right, left . But still I happens to fast. Great video.

[@HonzaKuranda]

I would add one or two more - always watch and expect some stuff on the road esp. in the corners (gravel, leaves, wet pods after rain etc.). I always have this in my mind and it keeps me alert. When riding in forests and fields - I always scan land on sides trying to spot moves in the bush. Animals are sometimes super quick giving you no chance to react but mostly you can spot them way ahead. Saved my life once. So at least think about it and expect this might happen, dont make yourself feel stressed just make a habit of "scanning" for danger.

Been riding one year. Last week I came in a corner too fast (was distracted by looking at a nice house) was about to break but I heard someone repeatedly saying “commit commit commit” in DanDan the fireman’s voice 😂 Leaned the bike farther than I ever had and made the turn.

[@NoHope_]

do not roll off the throttle in a tank slapper, you either want to keep the pace or go faster, thats like saying "feel unstable and like youre going to fall in a corner, slow down" that just makes it worse, you want the wheel to settle its self not give it less gyroscopic affect to make it more pronounced.
