We were checking out their lobby / museum area when all of a sudden a couple of riders on adventure bikes rode down the staircases put on a little demo showing what they could do on the bikes, then rode back up the staircases. Totally unexpected but so cool to see.

Dude. I gotta try that out. I did a beginner motorcycle safety course when I was a new rider and I had a blast. And after riding for 10 years now I can say I learned skills in the class that I would have never figured out on my own on the streets, and have saved my skin (literally) a couple times. This looks like 20x the fun, and some serious above and beyond skills learned in the process.

@@hassanjamal4212 The 1200 cylinder heads stick out sideways, the 800's are vertical, so the 1200 is much winder down lower. When it "falls" over, the first thing to hit the ground is the top of the cylinder (or guard outside of it). It's sort of that the bike leans sideways at an angle instead of turning 90 degrees flat on the ground. In very rough terms, it's the difference between a diamond that falls sideways, and a rectangle that flips on its side.

Like what you have done with your new format Sean with all the different types of motorcycling and adventuring I got my first motorcycle when I was 17 and have ridden a few bikes since then as I'm now retired but still have a motorcycle and ride from time to time and it still feels good but out in the country it's generally not a problem with cars or people not paying attention it's in the city and then it pays to be a defensive rider but I believe you should always be one . But you still need some skills to help get yourself out of trouble if it's not experience it's a motorcycle course most states require them now before you can get a license which is good but experience is a good teacher. Been watching for a couple of years now and be careful and ride safe my friend God love ya

I’ve ridden through loose sand on that bike and almost dropped it. When you guys were saying that the bike wants to do it’s thing I didn’t realize that at the time but that’s exactly what I was letting it do, I just stood up and just let the bike do its thing. I like this video a lot because it helps me learn more about riding and how to be a better rider.

The M1?; NEVER heard of it....before B&B. ANOTHER great insight- that's why I love this channel. The big ADV bikes?; NOT for me.....at 65, 5'7"/30" inseam, and 42 years riding experience, I have a rule: I don't ride what I can't pick up OFF me. I (amost) got crushed by a Goldwing in the 1980's; learned my lesson. Another lesson I learned, especially if vertically challenged like myself, etc. is....WEIGHT TRAINING, and mostly lower body/legs stuff. You NEED to learn how to p/u a bike w/ the least hassle/energy. SQUATS, baby! And offroad- it's even MORE important! My current ride is a '87 BMW K75C w/ hard-bags...and I know I couldn't do that slow speed/tight minimum circle on your skills testing. Much respect. And the big/bad BMWs?; even more so. I wish the mfg. would come out w/ a 500-750cc ADV bike, a mini-GS/Africa Twin hybrid....for the rest of us! (the Honda CX500 doesn't interest me)

My first and only bike was a 79 Goldwing GL1000. I was a 135lb 6' tall 15 year old. Absolutely zero experience operating a bike. I had ridden on the back of my dad's for years but that was it. I rode it until I turned 16 then traded it for a 75 Firebird.

My uncle Tim bought a Sportster. Then he discovered BMW multi-purpose. Lol. Moved from flat land Louisiana to Pikes Peak territory. Ive followed him as far as the road goes to the top where the gates restrict further travel. Memorable times.

Watching this reminds me of how fun learning to ride is. It's been somewhere under two years since I learned but it feels like ages ago. It was an awesome experience that I recommend to any with a bit of cash and free time.

This is basically hill climb style. We obtain wet 250-1200 cc bikes, strap angle iron or paddle wheels on back, knobby on front meander through woods to get to hills from truck then hit the hills. We started on mini bikes and small trail bikes from different manufacturers then build up to the big bikes.
