If it’s your first time riding ALWAYS wear protection, gloves, helmet, jacket.

[@icysisland]

Yeah I learned that lesson very quickly

[@theodorewalker9464]

If it's your last time riding.. always wear protection gear. My parents just tried to save 3 people a week ago on a vacation trip on two bikes that hit each other at a cross on a highway. One didn't stop at the light. No one made it out alive. They fought for an hour to save them with paramedic experience, until authorities arrived and took the scene. No helmets..no gear. Ground his face in half and was still breathing. Think before you ride family. Stay safe!

[@phonemaster6324]

It was most definitely the leaves for sure my guy!! Watch out for those and also grass blown from the lawn mower

[@icysisland]

Appreciate the tips bro !

[@Fred-xo3ku]

You slid on those leaves. 😮

[@atomicforcegaming2867]

Leaf Ericson ! 😆 Time to get back on the horse and stay away from low traction situations. Glad your ok dude.

[@jdc8352]

I suggest learning on dirt. Stay safe out there.

[@steve00alt70]

Id recommend doing the safety foundation course first before trying to ride one. That chain needs replaced first lol

[@icysisland]

Yeah I agree the MSF course is a must. & ima definitely do that

[@brianchristenson6055]

Great bikes! I’m on my second one. Have fun and be safe!)

[@flashgraff4285]

Crashes happen to all of us bro don't be ashamed jus learn from it, and jus relax when your riding don't be shaky or tense and you'll get more friendly and familiar with your bike, good video be safe out there and always have fun 💯😎

[@icysisland]

Appreciate that bro, I’ll definitely start practicing that more.

[@marcusreynolds5104]

I will be looking forward to your next video too .

Bro, literally drove through leaves not realizing they have a wax coating. That’s extremely slick.

[@fresshstarr6926]

The way u flip off that bike so smooth bruh it’s crazy 😂😂

[@Mr1000Mexicans]

Hey man, just wanted to say that you shouldn't use tools to tighen down an oil filter. Just tighten them down by hand and you'll be alright, the tools might make it harder to take off. Also make sure to dip your finger in some of the new oil to spread on the oil filter's rubber gasket. Saw your newer vids and like what you're doing, keep it up!

[@leeben1183]

Just be safe Always wear your protected gears because you don't know what will happen when you're there

[@icysisland]

Your 100% right, always gotta be prepared for the unexpected

[@MapleSizurp]

respect for gettin back to work. It was 100% the leaves. Most people loose motivation after something like that

[@mrrc6083]

Definitely a nice bike had a lot of fun on it

[@leeben1183]

The 1st thing you do wrong when you put it in gear. You see you have your foot understand you have to balance a bike to move it off 2nd thing. Yes it could be the leaf because if it's wet underneath and we'll hit it a different angle it will make The bike blues control

[@icysisland]

Bet that!

[@aaronferguson9328]

I always get grips first, but i do respect the drive to get back on it. From the initial takeoff i knew something was bound to happen lol Tires, Tires, Tires, and rotors Pads, etc. If you cant stop or grip your screwed. Also bike was quite large in cc size for your first, just always remember Gear+MSF+Maintained bike+no speeding= ALIVE p.,s you fell because you were dragging leg and facing that direction

[@icysisland]

I couldn’t agree with you more, I definitely took a step bike to get a better grip of what I was working with. And yeah that sounds like a good formula to me ✅

[@mrrc6083]

Them leaves did that keep pushing u Maryland what part just got a bike to

[@samuelrconteh]

great narrative

[@gedocowboy8484]

I have that same bike, it’s pretty fast for a first bike. I bought it from a guy who crashed it, I had to put new plastics and a stator cover on it. These are serious bikes and yes wear gear and take your time to learn how to ride safely. Practice skills in a parking lot or something. I started riding decades ago and I still practice new skills.

[@icysisland]

Yeah I agree, it definitely is a lot more power than I expected. But i appreciate that advice. There’s always more to learn

[@aitutaki50]

Of course it was the leaves! And, they're 100 more slippery when they're wet or just damp. Many moons ago, when I was a Lineman for NJ Bell Telephone Company, my friend & coworker, Sal Garcia, bought a beautiful, brand new BMW touring motorcycle, & he drove it up to New Hampshire for the weekend to see all the colorful Fall foliage...he had never ridden the big before that weekend. He was coming around a curve up in New Hampshire going from bright light into shade & he hit a patch of "black ice" & damp leaves...the bike immediately slid out from under him & separated from him & he slid along the roadway (in brand new helmet & full leather pants, jacket, boots, & gloves) right into an oncoming pickup truck...he was killed instantly...he was a young man, newly married to a beautiful woman, & earning a great living...he was the guy who trained me at Installation...I still remember it like yesterday--after our shift on Friday afternoon, he & I threw a football back & forth for a little while in the Garage parking lot...he left for his weekend trip the next morning...that Monday morning, when I came into work, the told me, "Sal is dead." Man, that pained me very deeply, & it still does now remembering it...I remember going to his viewing, & I kneeled at his casket & said a prayer with my other buddy & coworker, Ken Pieklo...after we stood back up, Sal's sister approached us & thanked us both for coming...I had never met her before, & I offered her my condolences...she smiled & thanked me...I looked over her shoulder, & I noticed Sal's wife, whom he had introduced me to once before, sitting in the front row of the small chapel inside the mortuary, quietly weeping...it is one of the saddest images in my memory...RIP Sal...&, RIP to all of the other countless riders out there who have taken their final fall...please do follow you own sound advice 🙏

this is very well done!

That’s rlly a rlly fast bike for not rlly knowing how to ride just be careful on the gas man

[@itzmrpug2360]

And lesson learned from hitting leafs

[@itzmrpug2360]

So don’t hit leafs, gravel still like that and try to turn or hit the break

[@icysisland]

I appreciate the advice bro, & I agree it definitely caught me off guard. I been working at it lately though .

[@diogoribeiro3811]

@@icysisland humble of you. take it easy on the gas man, i got surgury not to long ago because of a highside, i advise the youtube chanel "moto jitsu" great instructor, doesnt matter if ur riding for 20 years , you can always learn more

[@wittepanther]

This is the reason why a Motorcycle license is required in most other countries. It will literally save your life. This can also happen at higher speeds, first thing you learn is to avoid leaves, stones, dirt and other debris because it will get you gliding no matter what the state of your tires is.

[@icysisland]

I definitely hear that

[@bekiss2]

Protector, helmet please and respect the power!!!

[@icysisland]

Got you ! And I most definitely have respect for the power now.

[@Matthew-yq6ho]

Lol wow

[@ericrobertson8082]

Now I got the zzr shit nice.

[@TwoWheeledBooBear]

Definitely wasn't the leaves. One of the most important things you can do on any bike is get weight on the pegs. Without it, you have no stability on the bike, and the bike itself isn't going to have the same traction it would otherwise have with your feet perched up on the pegs. Leaves can make things sketchy but it won't make you crash if you're riding correctly - otherwise every MX, ADV, DualSport rider on the planet would do nothing but crash 100% of the time. Get some riding gear, and maybe hop on a dirt bike and ride around in some loose stuff to start with. Learning to ride dirt first makes paved riding a cakewalk. Everything on a bike is about finesse and practice. We all crash, especially those of us that ride dirt. Just gotta get back up and keep going - it's a part of the process. Oh, and keep the rubber side down!

[@ericrobertson8082]

It happens. An it def was the leaves. But my first bike I used to drop my suit jjst turning it round an shot lol. They take beatings.

[@icysisland]

I definitely done that once or twice already, and I appreciate you showing the channel love bro

[@jeffreystorer4966]

Good on you thanks,get a dirtbike ,kit up jacket etc g find flat dirt lake edge etc no trees ,,,and ride it till it breaks or blows up ,that will learn you

[@coreyblack977]

Leaves and the angle of your turn. Probably would been fine if it was straight. Great build tho!

[@cedricalexander9274]

@@icysisland yea I went down cuz I stretched my bike and didn't change the sprocket on it im still learning the ends and outs I changed it back to the original chain size now I don't have any problems. But I do have to change my head gasket tho before I can start back riding but it's worth the wait lol.

[@Wildtamson]

Spray rubbing alcohol on your wind screen let it sit n then wipe it off it won’t be perfect but it will def look better

You now know, leaves are a lil slippery. Grab some gloves and a lid, you won’t regret having them.

[@Fac3Gaming]

Yeah bro never accelerate thru leaves, sand, debri jus let the bike coast if you can’t avoid it

[@MotoMaxi]

What’s going on? Would it be ok if I share this video for an edit of mine? You’ll be fully credited of course. Thanks in advance!

[@SHIIFUTO]

Bro, be careful, that is not a beginner bike. Too old, no electronics for you to handle the mistakes you will make as a beginner and definately too much power on the wheel. Also, wear at least helmet and gloves so that you don't die at least, but even a small accident can make your life a mess. I wear a full leather suit whenever I go to the twisties and even with that I know I can get hurt. Enjoy the experience, but have in mind this is not a toy.

[@geneticmonster82]

Always turn slow on loose gravel dirt sand leaves especially if wet if you cant aviod at all and no front brakes my guy

[@icysisland]

I definitely appreciate this advice Glooks my g

[@zl1booker]

it was not the leaves sir. The bike was thrown off balance because of your riding position. When the bike is in motion your feet and legs should not be extended to the ground, they should be up and on the pedals ...... period............ Always remember-Bike in motion feet on pedals

Many many rookie mistakes. No helmet gloves jacket boots. Turning in pile of leaves. Not a great start. But live and learn. Next ride wait until sunday morning go to.parking lot get comfortable shifting braking turning. Baby steps. Not one damn mod until you get much better. The next crash will just ruin upgrades.

first bike should never be street bike and first rides never on street with any bike. Skills need to be learned in safest place the dirt. more first time riders die on streets due to lack of skill. I grew up around bikes not one of the many kids who went from dirt to street got killed on street. many whos first bikes were on street never saw HS graduation. lack of skill kills more than speed drinking and pretty much any other thing on a bike. sad but true riding a bike takes much more skill than driving a car tons of coordination and balance. Brake in leaves crash on bike not in car. Any 6 yr old with 6 months riding in dirt is safer than this guy sorry dude but you are going to die riding on street, more likely than living
