This did not age well. PS - Get well soon, Joe.

[@stevemcgowen]

Off road biking is a different beast. I know people who are amazing street riders who have gotten in bad accidents on dirt bikes.

[@BUTTERY-APEX]

Very few people at his age should be learning to ride.... Especially off road. We take diggers when where young so we learn. You learn fast when your old and it hurts a lot.

[@Mr_Zzzeee]

I hate to say it, but when this video came out last month, I knew were this almost certainly was going to end up...

[@BUTTERY-APEX]

@@Mr_Zzzeee Not talking crap the man is excited here and I agree that's why I'm watching this video. I use to race, ride street did it all. You couldn't convince me to put all that extra weight with that little of power on a bike. Especially with stock springs.

[@dgornowicz8417]

How preventable it was is what’s upsetting. No helmet *probably* trying to ride through a ditch. I love Joe but this weirdly feels self destructive

[@uTubeNoITube]

If only future Joe could talk to past Joe about this. :(

[@amessad]

It is weird watching this now knowing what happened… but guys Joe needs our numbers right now so just spent a few minutes watching older videos it is fun AND helpful ….🙏

He has plenty of $$ 😆

Seriously, I just came from the newest video, and scrolled past this, and I was like oh this is the bike 😢 ❤

[@Gary87]

If only Joe could have foreseen what this bike would bring! Hoping Joe has a speedy recovery and sending nothing but love

[@kevinarea]

Joe, my 17 year old son just got his motorcycle license. Your vids could save his and many others. He’s a smart kid and he took the required course in Wisconsin. He aced the driving part of the course which not many in his class did so I feel confident but it’s always good to see how others have failed because there are always things that people don’t think about.

[@M.TTT.]

as long as he doesn't listen to music like some riders do on the road (insane in my opinion) and rides like he's invisible to any car, then he'll be good.

[@campbellmarty36]

I was SO afraid the worst would happen when you said you’d have to LEARN to ride!!!. I did the same thing at 40 years old with a Harley!!!! I’d never even as much rode a mini bike as a kid!!!. I went full blown Harley during my mid life crisis!!!. Kept it long enough to receive the title from the state and SOLD that death trap!!!!. They are super dangerous for a well trained skilled lifetime rider but to a newbie is a literal death trap!!!!!. Glad you’re still here and really hate this had to happen to such an outstanding guy!!! Prayers for you and your family Joe!!!!🙏🙏

[@user-ty6vg5sk5u]

Pointless fearmongering. It comes down to every rider themselves, are they smart and careful or not. Joe is a great guy and doing good video content, but in this case, he was just not smart and was a daredevil. Just driving 2 days ever in he's 40's and not letting bike grow on you, thank god he's not dead.

[@jobethk588]

[@chrissibersky4617]

Did you know something?

[@KDad514]

Two pieces of advice my Pops gave me. On dirt never outride your talent level, because trees hurt when you hit them. On street, ride as if you are invisible because to cars you basically are.

[@ghostofreality1222]

I suggest some hand guards since you will be riding through trees and stuff... trust me when it happens and it will, you will be thankful you had them.

[@mrastleysghost]

Yep - barkbusters or similar will also prevent breaking stuff when he drops it (like the throttle tube on the CB500 or breaking the ends off levers). I'd also recommend a skid plate and maybe radiator guards. Any other bike armor is probably more than Joe really needs for motocamping

[@alexroxhissox]

Bend the shit out of your levers once, shame on the trees... Etc

[@FrethKindheart]

I agree. They're a must for protecting your levers and your hands from brush. Hand guards are the first thing I buy for a dirt bike.

[@kaneoliver2080]

Barkbusters are the best made here in Australia and I was thinking the same when I first seen the bike 👍

[@ringonotts]

Absolutely - and then some proper enduro boots...

[@MattiaRaffaldi]

Nobody mentiined it, but one of the important rule of off-road is to never ride alone. A simple fall is enough to broke a leg and you are stuck there. In your case you probably know how to survive, but it's still better to ride with someone for safety

[@jrod1591]

After watching his latest video, I would say he definitely should have. I rode for years as a kid. Even raced. I still wouldn’t go out alone and rip it full blast. The most dangerous things for beginner riders is overconfidence.

[@steveblackwood1202]

Just a small tip from a relatively new rider, to another new rider... don't skip the Motorcycle Safety Course. They will show you things that will save your life someday. Its worth the time and expense, trust me. Love Giant Loop by the way... have the 1 gal soft fuel bag; it's the best.

[@socalf58]

I've told my son many times, never teach yourself something that requires specific knowledge. You don't know what you don't know. People saying this didn't age well, but I think it's a great example and important for others to see.

[@gregoryjackson4604]

Joe take a riding course. You were driving way to fast on the bad road with the puddles. Just one of those puddles happens to be deep, you going to get lauched .I have been riding for very long time and have seen way to many accidents. I might not be the coolest thing to say ,Safety first.live to ride another day. Just don't want to see you get hurt.

[@grantparnes]

He did not listen to your advice. Train wreck on a motor bike about to happen were my thoughts with the water puddle road.

[@jbell968]

Joe, you are showing the same issues that I have been dealing with, with my depresssion. It doesn't matter how successful we think we are, but when everything that we used to love seems like a chore, it's time to get help. I am no therapist, just a friend who has enjoyed your videos for years. But, I have seen your turmoil and inconsistency since your brother's death. We all know that this is your livelihood, but go get the help you need and figure yourself out. We will be here and when you get better, and your channel will grow again. We love you for who you are, not who you think you should be. Stop worrying about the algorithm and loss of income from less videos. When you get back to just showing us your life, and what you like doing, you will have a long successful and happy long term future on youtube. Stop focusing on view counts, new subscribers, engagement. Just do you! That is why we are here. You have a great story telling ability, focus on that and your family and the rest will follow!

Well we may have just learned that 1 month is not enough time to learn how to ride. Definitely don't want a motor bike anymore. Ill stick to electric mountain bikes for bushcraft camping.

[@shastamite2]

What bike do you ride?

[@Gofr5]

1 month is absolutely nothing, unfortunately. I've been riding 6 years now and I'm still learning and improving my skills. Albeit I don't do any hard offroad, but every discipline of riding requires constant learning and skill improvement, even regular daily road commuting. Motorcycling is a lifelong journey that requires constant learning and constant skill development/maintenance. That said it can be one of the most rewarding and relaxing things ever. My life has improved so much since I started riding, but I do understand it's not for everyone, sadly. I can't imagine my life without my bike now. Most important though, is to wear your safety gear, most especially your helmet. Everything that happened to him could have been avoided if he had his helmet.

[@tylerkondrat8668]

If you mean a surron you'd be fine

[@waynebernier1061]

Hey Joe, nice bike. I’ve been riding for 60 yrs, from watching your video I have a couple suggestions, definitely get some real training and ride a little slower until you do. I don’t want to see you hurt, but you’re definitely heading for an injury and it will happen so fast you won’t even know what happened. Please be careful.

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Thanks for trying.

[@eksot]

we all had that bad break up once.

[@xFlow777]

Noticed a few things watching him ride that were very dangerous, going into puddles at high speed, you don't know how deep that is, what if it's a 2 foot deep pothole? Yeah I'm sorry budy but this was coming, too unsafe.

[@Happy_Potato0]

How unpredictable life is we plan something and God has a different plan for us.. and G9d knows whats best for us so don't be sad Joe you are still with us thats all we need stay safe and have a speedy recovery ❤

[@jcman-lp6lg]

damn, so odd seeing peeps warn about some of the safety precautions he was missing before he got into his accident

[@pcspi]

Bikes are great! A rider course is definitely worth doing but riding isn't hard, you'll do great! Slow down and downshift before you get to turns, not while you're in them, be super careful on wet pavement and grass, and always be aware that you're one mistake away from a serious injury... stakes are higher on a bike. Don't push your limits. Looking forward to seeing what you get yourself into with this thing!

[@unchained20000000]

Follow this advice it is spot on!

[@LRK_Lad]

well, it happened.

[@jrod1591]

From the sounds of it, he slipped on tall wet grass and hit his head on a rock and was in a coma for 3 weeks.

[@BlakeRGardner]

Joe, please invest in some proper riding boots for safety. If you're gonna be riding in the woods look into some brush hand guards as well.

[@craighawksworth6860]

just about to post the same, I would add some good knee bracers to the mx boots. have fun and ride safe Joe.

[@Big_Red_Wade]

the handlebars need a headbutt pad big time lol

[@BentTrails28]

Nice bike Joe ! We camped off our dirt bikes in upper peninsula of Michigan and the lower of Michigan. We belong to the CCC cycle conservation of Michigan. Dispersed camping on a dirt bike is awesome. I’ve been riding since I’ve been eight years old, I’m now 57. If you have any questions, let me know. We just threw a backpack on and took as much water as we could some filters for water an some dry food, first aid kit, a Hamic, etc and off we went. Obviously a few tools here and there but what an experience. Glad to see the doing this.

[@cutuupak]

@Joe Robinet you need to get some head lights mounted on that bike, there will come a time where your gonna get caught in the dark riding that thing so get some lights installed. Oh yea when putting the bike in gear you don’t have to stomp on the gear shifter, and be careful riding through those puddles of water at that high speed, you don’t know how deep those holes are, be safe!!!!

[@broncobob36]

Taking both an off road and street riding course is a good idea. The best way to learn what you and the bike are capable of is putting in a lot of riding time in the target terrain. That’s when you’ll learn the most important lessons - what NOT to do.

[@MrJopaa5]

Well I hope ole Joe hasn’t crash that motorcycle. We haven’t heard from him in awhile.

[@scottsurvival6960]

He did. He's been in a coma.

Yea he did

[@dbarra-]

This was a bit hard to watch knowing what happened. Also I'm an on-road biker nothing as powerful as that bike but I understand the love you felt towards this bike and from the freedom of biking.

[@dbarra-]

Also, riding in so much snow, not able to tell the difference between a solid path and something unsafe is crazy. Here in Scotland we get a lot of rain which is dangerous too. I might say bye to my bike and save up for a car instead.

[@vinceimp9581]

[@internaut4257]

he almost got his ticket punched on that damn bike, but he made it

[@Craneman4100w]

About shifting, the main thing is not to lug the engine so much. It should feel free and loose especially important until the engine is broken in. That doesn't mean screamin' it's guts out, you don't need that with a 4 stroke. Get a set of chrome moly handlebars and use the cross brace pad that comes with them. They don't bend when you fall off, also, get a set of aluminum hand guards to protect the clutch and brake handles. It sucks to be in the middle of nowhere and break off the clutch lever. My brother and I raced off road Hare Scrambles and enduros from 1980 to about 2005 (we got old) Your milage may vary but we cut our bars down to 28 inches but we raced through the trees a lot. If you cut them down you lose leverage so do some soul searching before you start chopping. If you aren't having trouble with the seat height I would not be in a hurry to start messing with the suspension, ( but I am 6'1" so there's that). You can do it but to do it right is spelled C A S H. if you get cheap on it the bike won't handle worth a damn.

[@RespawnPlays]

"Just started riding".... "I felt super confident on the bike" add those quotes to the list

[@jacks1bonnielass]

Wow. Why in the world this guy didn’t take it slow or take courses when he is completely green is beyond me. I’ve been riding right at 3yrs. I watched tons of MotoJitsu and DanDanTheFireman vids and took online courses to prep before I picked up my Honda ADV150. I wanted a bike/scoot that was an auto and could do at least 65mph for highway riding. The goal was to focus on fundamentals-balance, braking, leaning, steering/countersteering, etc. It’s too much for some ppl bc you’re using both hands *and* both feet simultaneously on a manual, whereas with an auto, you’re only using your hands and body. Now I own a Yamaha MT-07 and Honda 300 Rally. Because I focused on fundamentals first, it was SUPER easy to implement the clutch and shifter. Insane that this guy didn’t take precautions or courses. Some people’s egos just won’t allow them to admit they’re an amateur at something 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Gofr5]

Add to all that that the main thing that caused all his problems was that he went out without a helmet. He never said it in his other video, but the facial injuries and coma make it clear he wasn't wearing his helmet. Despite his lack of skill, all this could have still been avoided if he just wore his helmet. Luckily he's still around to learn from this hard lesson.

[@Gofr5]

@@jacks1bonnielass I had no idea how to operate a motorcycle at all when I took my beginner course. I kept stalling so much the first half of the day on day 1 of training that they had to pull me aside to give me a quick 1 on 1 on how to properly operate the clutch. Worked though as I almost never stalled anymore after that. That was 6 years ago. Now on my third bike, a 1290 SAS, but started my journey on a CBR500R and stayed with that bike for 3 years. Another 3 years on my second bike, a 701 SM, with the 1290 being new for this year. I was hoping to take an advanced motorcycle training course this year to practice some skills and learn some new ones perhaps, but they are not cheap and money is needed on other things, so will see. Hoping to at least do it next year if not this year. I do like to visit the local training area here where they train the new riders from time to time and practice my skills on the painted lines they have there when there's nobody there though. Dan and Motojitsu are really good channels for info, love those guys. Learn a lot from them also.

Welcome to the best and one of the most addicting hobbies out there. I wish you many safe adventures on the bike. Check out some of the Backcountry Discovery Routes here in the US. I urge you to consider getting some solid enduro boots. They're pricey and they're gonna decrease your feel on the rear brake until you get used to them. But all my motorcycle injuries have been foot related due to me crashing at slow speeds while wearing inadequate foot protection. Personally I wear Tech 7 enduros.

[@FrancisMarion_1786]

From someone whose been riding dirtbikes and quads for 15 years, here's a couple of tips for better riding that I've learned: -when riding over technical terrain at a slower pace, pull the clutch in just a little bit, not all the way, but about halfway. This will help prevent the bike from stalling and give more traction to the back wheel. -sit as far up as you can comfortably on the seat, you have much better control of the bike this way than if you're sitting farther back. -also when going over technical terrain, it's best to stand up if you can. Keep your knees bent at a slight angle and make sure you're on the balls of your feet on the foot pegs. -when turning, weight the outside of the bike opposite the direction your turning. This will help prevent the front wheel from sliding out and help you turn sharper. So if you're turning left, you would weight the right side of the bike with your right leg. Don't try to hard, just a little bit, it doesn't take much. - Remember to "look where you want to go, not at what you're afraid of hitting". It may seem obvious but a lot of beginners will hesitate when they see something they want to avoid like a big rock in the path for example. And they will focus on the rock. Don't do that lol. Pick a line around the obstacle and keep your eyes straight ahead. Don't look down and don't focus on the front fender too much. -when going uphill, lean forward on the bike, pull the clutch in just a little bit for better traction, and make sure you're in a lower gear. I personally wouldn't be in anything higher than 3rd unless you're doing jumps on a motocross track lol. -when going down hill it's the opposite. Lean back a little bit, if you need to use the brakes it's best to use the back brake from my experience. There's a ton more I could type. I absolutely LOVE dirtbikes and it's undoubtedly my number 1 passion. "The Total Dirt Rider Manual" by Pete Peterson is a great riding book. It covers everything from the proper riding techniques, some which I discussed above, the different types of riding gear, mechanical stuff and routine bike maintenance. Welcome to the riding community my friend! If I was closer I'd love to ride with you but I'm in South Carolina lol.

[@harrietcarr307]

[@badcolby]

Hey Joe, love it! Long time subscriber. Been riding off road all my life. Just a couple of pointers. Stand up in the difficult sections. It helps you maintain better control over the bike & stop hitting all the water holes on the road! You have no idea how deep those are. You could lose control of the bike if you hit a deep one. Take a class, always wear a helmet, but mainly just have a ball, that’s what life is about.

Joe, I too waited until I was in my late 30's to start riding. I'm now in my early 60's. All of my riding has been on pavement, though my current ride is a dual sport. I've no experience riding dirt, but would definitely advise taking the rider course before you get on paved roads. I've dropped every one of my bikes, but never under power. It happens. Learn how to lift your bike properly. Your back will thank you. Feathering the clutch is a very valuable skill in riding, probably more so in dirt. Keep practicing until it's second nature. Enjoy the ride! Thanks for sharing this new adventure.

This is coming from someone who raced 250gp, ride an Aprilia RSVR Factory 1100cc VTwin, and i have been riding all my life. Just be careful at first Joe!! When it comes to turning at slow speeds like in your backyard, make sure you are downshifting to like first gear. And make sure that your idol is turned down so it doesn't just rip right off the get. So maybe find a really good mechanic and to make friends. There are groups that get together, just search your area, for off-road, dirt bike groups camping etc, or if there is a known place where people ride off-road equipment near you maybe just go talk to people out there.

I don't know of any groups or people in Canada. As far as your riding, it looks like you're sitting too much. You'd find you have more control on the rig terrain when standing. Couldn't really tell though since all the video was taken in FPPOV.

videos that aged like milk

[@FrancisMarion_1786]

Congratulations Joe! You won't regret it. I'm 21 and I was raised on dirtbikes and quads and it is my go to therapy. Nothing, I mean absolutely NOTHING has helped me get through hard times as much as my bikes have. When I didn't have anybody I always had something and that was my dirtbike.

good! new start!!

[@ginamariebernard]

oof…i watched the “3-week coma” video first…in retrospect, this video is so telling…you cannot teach yourself how to rip around on a motorcycle in 20 minutes…regardless, i hope your recovery is going well, Joe…they don’t call them donor-cycles for nothing! Always wear a helmet and protective gear!

[@grantparnes]

So we need to make rule number 1, if your feet don't touch the ground when sitting on the bike, its too much bike for you.

[@jae4807]

Glad you have joined the motorbike world! A bike can take you places a car/truck can't. I come from a family of mechanics and riders, take time to learn about what makes your bike work, having the knowledge to diagnose and repair basic mechanical issues plus having the right tools on board can get you out of a sticky situation.

[@imcooked76]

Thanks Joe!!

[@jessz900]

Joe, good call on going with kawasaki, focus on clutch control get a feel for the bite point and take the rider course it will absolutely be worth your time.

[@matthewlinehan5108]

Joe you need dirtbkie boots , I hit a pine tree crushed my right foot will never ride without them save your piggies and your ankles bud . Fox or alpine stars

I truly believe if you weren’t raised on motorcycles, then getting one later in life is a horrible idea. There is something that’s learned from riding so much as a kid that you can’t just teach.. but to jump on and just go is crazy. So confident he didn’t even wear a helmet when he crashed. At that point he would have been riding for less than a month.

[@mikeking6783]

It must be horrific for you to be reminded constantly and forever the outcome of this choice, get well Joe.

[@broh6775]

I dont know anything about biking I just like to see you having fun man. I'm here for it!

[@maverickkartracing]

really happy for you man, great opportunity for something new and different, and one hell of a lot of fun just getting there

Let get Joe's numbers up keep watching those old vids guys!

[@Jelmer77]

This is great dude, i've been following you for years and to see you ride a bike makes me so happy! Can't wait to see more. - At slow speeds you can use your clutch in a slipping manor (holding it on the point the bike starts moving) to control your speed, in first gear this is a game changer combined with using your breaks. You can practice this doing figure 8s, circles, whatever.

[@zeke137075]

Always great to see an upload from joe

[@ometec]

Was gonna say bad idea. You would have blown me off. Some people have to learn everything (like me) the hard way. Heel get well and apply this lesson everywhere in your life. Stupid is a derogatory word for good reason.

[@MrTobytat2]

Yet here you are saying it.

[@PandaLife-lp8kn]

Time to hit the gym and the Dr. Jordan Peterson(your neighbor) Diet for Full body healing! Especially if you are going to pretend to be 22 again.

[@davemccallum8302]

Awesomeeeee A dirt bike opens so many doors of experimentation and accessibility of the great outdoors. I have ridden ~40k km in the dirt and loved it all and see that you will do very well. For your 3rd day you are amping it up good!

[@AnotherBrownAjah]

Hell yeah dude! Glad to see you still growing and challenging yourself.

[@xandersycuan345]

Awesome video Joe. I love your vulnerability. Have fun, learn lot and be safe!

[@freemanadv]

This gonna make some gooooood content, mud and snow will be the hardest to traverse but don't let that deter you. I've rode for years in all conditions. It's a great experience to deal with the elements on 2 wheels. I've got my 1st season trip planned in just under 2 weeks. With the previous year being a lifetime of hurt and loss I need this time to reflect. I can relate to you in so many ways Joe. Stay strong and enjoy brother!!

[@raybeers2457]

Stoked on this Bud....Imma watch as soon as I get home....and let's fookin ride!!!!

Dude, you've just opened up a whole new world. Bike camping is so awesome. So many new possibilities. I can't wait to see it!
