Just wanted to drop an update, I passed my MSF class and bought a new (to me) 2005 Suzuki Boulevard c50. I'm loving being on a real motorcycle, there's no feeling quite like it in the world. Again, thanks for the inspiration and the videos, they helped motivate me alot. Stay vigilant and ride safe ✌😎

[@lcsighteken2248]

@@Secondchancesarerare Wow! I looked up your bike, it is very cool, love it! My eyes are on the Indian Scout or 2004 YAMAHA XV17AS/C ROAD STAR. But first, I need a small, lightweight bike to learn with after which I can upgrade to those mentioned. People like you challenge me daily and I like that. Your bike is very cool and I might put it on my list too..haha

[@TheMaskedheel]

@@BlockheadMoto I got a question. I’ve had that lurching thing happen every time I try to shift to various degrees. I’m curious about blipping and how it would relate to this. Would you combine it with this or would that be too much speed? Example clutch in, blip, downshift, release lever while going back on throttle. This is really confusing.

Facts !

[@Combxat]

Same

[@philbrown9764]

When I was a young teen, when I’d be in the car with my parents, I’d act like was on a bike and did the gas, clutch and shifting. I knew I wanted a bike but never knew when I’d get one. I finally did when I got out of the Marines in ‘70, with the money I saved in Nam. It was a ‘51 Harley panhead. BUT…I didn’t have a bike license and most important, it was a jockey shift. So someone at the shop had to ride it to my house. When I finally fixed it the way I wanted it, I rode it and didn’t have any problems. A friend, who knew it was my fist time, said if he didn’t know better, he thought I’d been riding for years. I guess my backseat practice riding paid off. And at 73, I’m still riding a Harley Breakout.

[@garo919]

this dude made himself look ridiculous with the zip ties and lifting of hands whenever he shifts just so new people can learn to ride a motorcycle. great vids dude

[@1955Paawpabear]

Very good video. I've been riding for about 52 years and your information is spot on. Only one thing that I would add. When you first took off on the bike you mentioned to release the clutch and go. Most first time riders aren't going to be on a bike with enough torque to do that. You might want to mention that they need to ease out on the clutch as they give it some gas. This was the first skill that had to master. Good work Block.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Just to let you know, yesterday I went to the dealer to get my first bike and I drove it home all by myself (15Km) without never being on a bike before! Just watching all 3 of your videos made me undestand pretty good how to do it! (to be fair I have a driving licence for Cars and I used to drive a Piaggio Vespa kind bike that has no clutch and no gears...) But I've made it almost all cause of these 3 lessons! Thank you so much for the effort and the quality of the videos!

[@dazdncnfusd6447]

As we used to teach coming from the holster.... "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Go slow to develop muscle memory, and as muscle memory improves, you'll get faster. Same applies to the action between the clutch and gas. Great vid, sir!

[@sorayaimperial]

Thank you for this video! :) I'm from Europe, just starting my motorcycle license (A unrestricted, any cc bikes - we have 4 different A licenses for different cc and kw limits, I could jump to the highest because I'm over 25y.o. and have a car license) and I haven't had any practical classes yet, haven't even done my mechanic and theory exam. I have also never ridden any bike, so I wanted to learn shifting (which is what I'm most nervous about) in theory before I sat my butt on a bike, so that I can make the most out of my classes. One misconception that I had was that it wasn't sequencial! I thought it had actual positions (like push 2cm up for 2nd, 4cm up for 3rd, etc) and I was so confused about how precise I'd need to be to get the right gear on! This has made me WAY less nervous about riding a bike. I just have to say that in most US videos about using clutches, shifts and engine braking, it is so interesting and funny that using these can be so foreign to most people. We only drive manual cars here (automatic is a luxury), so to me, it is so obvious that downshifting leads to rev matching, hence, braking the bike/car. In most videos I see, this concept is explained as something new... because many many US people never drove manual shifts and may not know it. It is interesting how what is obvious for someone may not be obvious for the next person. Also, it's almost 4am here and my cat is staring at me while I train the clutch and throttle motions in the air like I'm some sort of lunatic. :D

[@ThrottleFiend]

Another great video! I think the zip-ties were an awesome idea and they'll help a lot of people. It's tough getting the action of the clutch lever in because your hand and the grips are blocking it in the first place, but I think it worked well. One thing I'd advise, is to make sure they have a firm, but not too firm grip on the bars. If they're new to riding and have a death grip, it's super easy to give more gas than expected. This will likely throw them back a bit, and can lead to a whiskey throttle situation. Ask me how I know. ;) I think it's also important for new riders (and those wanting to learn before taking the MSF class) to see that even experienced riders still have issues finding Neutral. I love the positive "clunk" HD transmissions give on a shift, but finding Neutral can be a PITA sometimes. Thanks for all you've done for the community!

[@281sTravel]

Easiest way to find neutral on a Harley is to downshift from 2nd while still rolling.

I'm taking my HD course right now, and about 3/10 times when I'm trying to shift into 2nd from 1st, I put it in neutral. I've got shifting down otherwise, but this transition is tripping me up. Do you have any tips on this? I'm sure it's something I'll continue to get better at as I ride, but it's incredibly frustrating right now.

[@MegaCortez16]

To go to 2nd from 1st Try pushing with your foot as far up as you can it might be a little uncomfortable but you will never fall on neutral

[@absolutelysobeast]

Hopefully you were able to iron out your shifting issue! When going from 1st to 2nd just make sure you push up with authority. Give it a good hard pull. It may have to do with your bike also i have a coworker with a harley sportster and she has had issues with 1st and neutral also, i have heard that is a pretty common issue with harleys specifically

I purchased a Harley Ultra Glider. I’ve been away from riding for years and when I did, it was a crotchrocket. LOL Seems to big a big difference between the crotchrocket and cruiser, but hoping your videos will help me get up to speed. Do you think the glider is too big to reaqaint myself with riding? Or do you think I will be ok. What is your advice?

What is the "Friction Zone"? My 2 learning ways are "Visually" and "Repeating" the same thing(s) over and over again in my head until it is stuck lol. Thank you soooo much for the video's 😊😊.

1) Finger off the Brakes 2) Always point the bike in a safe direction 3) Treat the bike as if it were loaded...uh, how would you finish that? LOL 4) Be certain of your target and what's beyond your target. I have a Target about a few miles away from me and then another one 5 miles down the Freeway. They now sell Madeline Brownies! 5) Always wear eye and head protection. I'm a fellow Firearms Instructor so I too have very strong sense of teaching. Hee hee!!
