I was more like if u need this video u better not ride a bike.. also i wouldnt trust in god to keep me safe on the road i dont believe that helps in any way.. just driving safe gets u a lot farther.. also the reason i dont own a bike anymore.. plus we have a lot of bad weather over here.. bikes are more for the summer months.. and thats when u see al the road warriors come out.. blinkers still on halfways on a 10 mile straight.. most of these people driving older bikes with older tires.. and not handy enough to maintain it themselves.. thats also where most accidents come from.. people get a licence.. then dont drive a bike just like 1 time every year.. they make 1 mistake and dont get to tell about it.. cars are just more saver.. and less fun..

As an Italian guy, i totally agree on the exquisitely American saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people". That's right. It's not like you leave a pistol in the drawer an by night it wakes up on its own and goes around town killing people. You need somebody to operate it for that to happen. Well, i came to the conclusion that the same can be told for motorcycles. And cars and many other things

riding distracted is an important note, I had been riding for years already, pulled over to take a call one day last year about a promotion at work and being on a shortlist, i was very excited and not thinking straight, went to pull back onto the highway, glanced back doing a head check as the lights were changing too quickly, while there wasnt anything in my lane in that 0.1 seconds i looked, a car moving quickly merged into that lane as i turned back and took off and i got hooked on the side of his car as i pulled out. He wrenched the wheel in the opposite direction and it pulled my Vulcan 900 Custom sideways, throwing it down on top of me with a full tank of gas landing just below my right knee, crushing my tibia into about 12 pieces. i was back riding within 6 months and can still ride just fine but i cant walk far anymore and im 27; its not a mistake I will ever make again. Pay attention, be cool, calm and collect, if you feel you didn't get enough information take the extra half a second and do a second head check when pulling out, don't feel like you're holding up traffic when it might save your life.

This past April I bought my 2006 Stratoliner, it had 3900 miles on it. The tires looked great, told the seller it needs new tires he said I was crazy to buy new tires. I rode it home, not far, replaced the tires with the same brand and model. It was amazing the difference in the ride. Always check the tire dates of manufacture when buying a bike or car. They may look good but age is their enemy. Ride safe, thanks for the tips.

And I think every other rider should do the same no matter the experience. New riders seem to neglect the fact they don’t know anything but think they can do it all, always encourage new riders to learn before they learn the hard way. That is the max of my knowledge today, ride safe and try to keep it on 2 wheels.

I’m not a big dude either and the grom fits me perfect. I wanna 190 swap it sometime soon. I want the 190 to keep w traffic and the 5th gear for cruising speeds. I’m almost 40 now and I’m def over racing. If I wanna go fast I got my srt for that. I’m in pa as well Erie to be exact. I’ve put 50 miles on it already and I love it. Today you better keep you’re head on a swivel. I usually think everyone’s out to get me before I leave. That way I’m watching everyone closely.

Picked up a completely neglected bike from a college kid, chain broke when I was at the top of a mountain, 26 miles from the nearest anything. Walked it twice. As far as danger, ensure your horn is working, and put the loudest one possible on it. I have air horns on my cruiser. Saved my life several times.

As a former long-haul truck driver the first part of your video is what we would call a pre-trip inspection. It's something you do every time at the beginning of your ride. For truck drivers it's mandated by federal law to do a pre-trip inspection and and inspection at the end of the trip. Truck drivers are fanatical about their Steer tires. If it has a Nick or pinched in the sidewall I don't care how old it is it's getting replaced before that truck moves again.

Love your channel, so interesting, I'm in the UK, was always riding bikes up until 2010 when my Son was born then sadly it had to go for a people carrier, (Already had two girls) I am in my late 50s now but, would still like to ride again one day, God willing. I found this to be an interesting and informative post. I had a friend years ago that had the coolest Triumph Bonnervile 750 hard-tail and he had a cut down chain guard to match the 'stripped back' look of his chopper. Unfortunately on a ride out one of the days his chain broke lose and went completely through his thigh, breaking the bone and tearing the muscle, not to mention the hole it left. He had to be put in an induced coma for a week because of the shock. He did recover, but always had to ride a modified bike with footboards, (that he hated) and a hand gear change. Last time I saw him before he sadly passed away he was riding a modified Yamaha cruiser with shaft drive :-/ He admitted it was down to a loose, badly maintained chain. Anyway, that's my story, please keep up the great work and the wonderful posts. And may your God ride with you.

Life is risky. Choose to do what you love, and manage the risks involved in the doing. The data shows that good riders can reduce their risks in riding. Never (!) ride under the influence, match your riding behaviour to the circumstances (i.e., traffic, speed, weather, surface), maintain your bike and don't ride outside of your skillset. It is more like flying a plane than driving a car, IMHO, which means that not everyone will be capable of safe operation, and being a safe rider takes more effort than being a safe driver. Accept that, and you will be ok.

3 of these have caught me out. Only been on bikes just over 2 years. My 125 had the chain jump off because I forgot to check its adjustment. Bought my gsf600s second hand. Ended up doing a mile home on a flat back tyre. Recently got a tiny bit too relaxed. Missed a pothole and ended up under the bike needing help getting it off my leg. Luckily no serious harm from any o these but just proves how easy things go wrong.

My Army Term - Situational Awareness. When riding, I am aware of things happening around me, behind me, and alongside me. I casually scan the horizon, check my peripherals, glance at my mirrors....especially when I am stopped at a light....give myself enough room to move ahead or out of the way if a car comes up too fast behind me...always in first gear....ready to move. My sportbike was pretty balanced...when stopped, I could balance myself without putting my feet down at super slow speeds. I am a new rider (3 years of riding experience).

I watch almost all your posts and I really enjoy them very informative and I live in central Pa and I think I’m going to come to your shop to buy a bike maybe you can help me get one that fits me I’m old ,63 and haven’t had a bike since 1977 so I think I’m do, no matter what bike shop I go in it’s all about selling a bike ,not necessarily helping me find one that will fit me just selling one

At no time when your alive are you never in any danger of dying. Asleep or awake. You can live your life in your house every single day and you are not 100% completely safe. A gas explosion or an aircraft malfunction can still kill you. Im 60 years old. I have been riding motorcycles as a licensed rider for 44 years. Been on two wheels for 50. The most heart breaking day will be the day i can't swing my leg over my bike. Sure I'll get a trike , but two wheels have been my life. If it comes down to me dying on my bike, know i went happy. My family knows I'll never stop on my own. I will have to be stopped. They also know that each time i leave on my bike could be the last time they see me alive. I've accepted that from day one. My dad told me what could happen. And for all of you that are thinking of buying a bike , remember there are only 2 types of bikers, those that are going down and those that have been down. I've been down 3 times were i needed surjury. The 1st time i was riding like awful canofful, my fault. The next 2 were unfortunately freak accidents that i almost avoided but went down with a broken bone. Now I've also went down without injury a few times. Racing, bike mechanical failure and just goofing off. ( Well the goofing off was fun ). But people you can't live a life of fear, at least i can't. I've had some of the most amazing times and met some awesome friends on a motorcycle. I have biker buddies , my very great friends that are closer to me than family for over 40 years and we still to this day ride every chance we get. We all ride something different. My buddy Al has a Raider, Tim a Vulcan, Dave a new Kawasaki jurassic park thing, Dale an ass kicking Triumph 1400 T-bird, Mark a 2015 Indian Roadmaster, Top hat a 2020 CVO, Dennis a 2019 1200 iron and me a 2014 Yamaha 1000 Cruiser. Nikki a Harley, Paul a Vulcan. We are of the mindset let those who ride , decide. And we all own multiple bikes. We ride all over the state of Michigan were we live. On Sundays we all head to the Clamdiggers for barley pop and pizza and blues. We will meet at my house on fridays for beers, blues, and bar b que. Nobody gets wasted and rides. I have plenty of room and we all live close by. Yes we've had our share of brothers lost. Everyone has. But people do not live in fear. Use common sense and if you need to take a biker course, take it. There's no damn shame in it. Get out and enjoy life. Be careful but dont let life pass you by. Stay safe, live, laugh, and love. But most importantly get some wind in your hair.

I've experienced the scenario where a chain left a hole in the crankcase on a 1970 Honda ATC 90 due to excessive slack (someone else was riding it, but I was riding with him). Not only did the chain bind up around the drive sprocket, but when it bound up it didn't break so the rear axle locked up completely and both rear wheels sheared off the axle. We eventually got that ATC running again, but it involved buying another ATC 90 for parts and swapping the rear axle in. We also added a spring tensioner on the chain - the factory tensioner requires the rider to set the tension manually and the idler arm only works on the bottom of the chain. The tensioner we added in its place worked on the top and the bottom, and used what are basically skateboard wheels and a spring, and they kept the chain at basically zero slack until the chain was so badly worn it should have been replaced long before.

There's a lot involve... The best thing you can do is Keep alert all the time like you're in a battle... Sand. Dirt. Oil spills. Cars cutting you off. Going too fast. Been sleepy. ....if you have bad tires and breaks is suicide not to mention drunk and flying I mean 80 mph.

Ge fastest Indian is one of my favorite movies. A man and his dream almost went unfulfilled. But, when he comes to America he meets some very nice people who in there small ways all contribute to his victory. My favorite part is when he meets a bunch of kids on a beach and blows them away with the speed of his bike. Too cool!

you're right where you say, check tire pressure cause you won't feel it when it's bad, so true so true

If you're doing everything right while riding, yes there are any number of things that will kill you. If it's not under your control, " it" will get you. When it's your time to go, nothing will prevent it.
