Seven Things a Biker Should Never Do!

[@streetwise10-73]

Never let a friend ride your bike...true. When I was a Senior in High School I finished rebuilding a 67' 650 Triumph and it was beautiful. I was working on a bike in the garage and my friend Gary that has been a friend since 5th grade came by the garage. He fell in love with that Triumph and kept bugging me to let him take out for a ride. He said he knew how to ride and I finally gave in and let him take it out for a ride but, (Thank God) I made him wear one of my helmets. Just before he started the bike I made sure he knew it had right side shift and left side rear brake, English bikes back then were made backwards. He fired up the bike and off he went. About 30 minutes he was pushing the bike back. I looked at him and his right hand, elbow and knee were bloody. The right side of the bike was a mess, handle bars bent, throttle cable broken off, Grips were shreadded, the right fork tube was bent, pegs and other stuff damaged. I looked at him and asked, Gary, are you ok? he said yea,.... What happened? He said he went into a left sweeping turn on the road too fast and kissed the curb. I went flying right and the bike landed in the street. I looked and the helmet I made him wear had a gouge in it too. All Gary kept saying is, Tommy, Im so sorry, Im so sorry, I will pay for what it costs to fix it. I said don't worry about that, get in my car I'll get you home and you get yourself cleaned up. I week later I see Gary pull up in the driveway in his 69 Z-28 Camero.He gets out wearing shorts, his right hand, knee and elbow were bandaged up. He hobbles into the garage and asks, how much to fix the Triumph? I said Gary don't worry about it, Im just glad your still alive. Then he asks again, how much damage? I said it cost about $275.00 but I can do all the work. Gary reached into his pocket and hands me $300.00 in cash and refused to take it back..Thats a stand up kinda guy. $300.00 back in the 70's was a hell of of lot of money. Were both in our 60's now and still good friends.....sorry for the long read, thought some might enjoy it.

[@itchymoche]

Great story. Glad you're still friends too!

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

Apparently your friends parents raised their son right... same goes for your parents...Its good to hear you two remained friends....

[@TheDutchPathFinder1]

My brother's license was taken away due to an accident in wich some alcohol was involved. He asked me to keep his bike running and take it out now and then. I refused because it ain't my ride.I respect my brother and his belongings.

[@macxpert3588]

Similar thing happened to me back in the 70s when we had lawnmower engine powered minibikes. I let a friend have a ride on my bike, he got about 20ft before he dug the foot peg into the grass and crashed. Lucky we were on some soft grass. He broke his arm and bent my bars and front fender up. His father paid for the new parts and we are still friends to this day, although my friend never got on a bike again.

[@sanansa4567]

Unfortunately in my case loaning things out, has only resulted in me to become very cynical about people (and also not securing items as well, in areas where I would least expect people to steal, including fellow soldiers in my own unit, where I had all kinds of items stolen). As for loaning things out, I had a friend guilt me into letting him ride my scooter (I didn't want to because I was only 15 and needed it to get to work as it was a far commute), but he just kept harping), I didn't have much money it took me a long time to save just to buy it on my own. Sure enough within 2 minutes of taking off, he dumped the scooter and damaged it. To add insult after he laughed. He didn't want to pay me to fix it (and he came from a very wealthy family, 3 homes, etc.). Another instance someone at work who had power over me, he borrowed an item worth about $100 and he lost it. When I asked nicely for him to replace it (he would just smile and wave his hand, like blowing me off). He was another person of means and he eventually became an attorney.

[@Angry_Boomer]

Good down to earth advice Itch. Most bikers will say “Yeah I know all that.” But it needs to be said and everyone needs to still hear it from time to time!

[@marcusrcs1885]

I remember my grandad saying to me.. It's more fun riding a slow bike fast then a fast bike slow 🐌😀👍😎😄👌

Nothing like being in the wind. I have this angel on my right shoulder and a devil on my left shoulder. As I've gotten older, the angel has been winning out more.

Your angel is winning because he's on your throttle side.

[@rarebreed9208]

Good advice Itchy. 50yrs in the saddle myself this year, 3 as a motor officer, 30 on the same '72 FLH, and only 3 minor mishaps. I still ride like "The Big One" could lie just beyond the next curve in the road though.

Very good down to earth tips, a lot of people in my country are in covid Lock down or quarentine and look forward to the days of freedom and riding again . Thanks from Australia.

[@jackdevine5382]

This video just popped up and I skeptically watched it. I have well over 1/2 million miles experience and you are right on 100%.

[@chrisbaldwin9162]

I think your #1 rule is very important. So many people will actually think that you will just let them take off on your bike! Like you said, this never ends well. Don't do it! This is my first comment, but I never miss your stories and good advice. I'm in S.C.,but I feel like I know you guys. Keep 'em coming! God Bless..

[@machinegunpreacher2469]

I'm cager who daily's a Miata and I have enough trouble being seen and not doing #4 has saved my car and probably my life at least 50 times in the past few years. If they can't pay enough attention to see a bright white Miata, you know they're not looking closely enough to see a bike. Great video with some good common-sense tips; I'll keep all these in mind if and when my day comes to hop on a bike.

[@NeekieC]

Very good advice, maintenance and awareness on the road so important, I tend to drive not only for myself but for others, aware of all that's going on around me. Safety first.

[@robertrosson1990]

Brother you were speaking truth.I have a 1997 Ultra Classic,a 1998 Fat boy and a 2005 Soft Tail Deuse.Iv have not nor will I every let anyone but me ride my bikes.I ride alone.Because I prefer to.I don't drink.Every 2 or 3 years I replace my tires on all 3 bikes.They do have a date of manufacturing on them.I also maintain my own bikes.I simply don't trust someone else working on my babies.They are my best friends.Sure that may sound crazy to some but my bikes are family.Another good tip is to nut and bold chech your bike make sure everything is tight as per specs.Down here it's more sand than dirt so I have kick stand pads IV made and I keep them in each bike along with a basic set of tools for each nut and bold on the different bikes.If a group of ride roll up I'm not speeding up.They can go around me if it's safe to do.I never expect drivers of cars or trucks to see me.Im sure those that's been hit by a car the drivers first words are oh I didn't see you.When I ride I ride simply because that's what IV loved to do for the past 35 years or so IV not dropped my bikes yet or been in a crash yet but IV lost very close friends because they either drank to much and didn't want to hear we get you home.Iv lost my best Freind because he love to speed down just about any road.I guess I'm either lucky I do my best to use common since or The good Lord is watching over me IV had my fair shares of close calls.But I was excepting them to pull out in front of me.At stop light I always try my best to have a way out if a car driver isn't paying attention and while at the stop light I keep checking my mirrors.And being in hot weather most of the year I keep a couple bottles of water in my bags.Dang this commit was long.Ride safe out there.Theres idiot drivers everywhere.Love and peace to all

[@pb68slab18]

I've been riding over 40yrs. I even have a few years of club-level road race and drag race track experience. I'd never let anyone I never rode with ride my bikes. I can tell in the first few miles if someone can ride. Sometimes I've swapped bikes with others who I've rode with to diagnose troubles they may have. Some riders , including some so-called mechanics , I wouldn't let WASH my bikes!

[@garygardner6536]

Had to retake my bike license in a different state and I thought I new it all,the cop didn't fall me on the bike but gave me a good tip for where I was riding on the road. He told me to ride near the centre line because the driver in front can see you in their rear vision and side mirrors and the centre of the road is where all the drips from drive train leaks will be. Have never forgotten that info.

[@itchymoche]

Good stuff

[@vincent7331]

I used to love my first HD a 73FXE ! I put a round swing arm instead of the square one, I lowered the bike 2inches! I also had a 15 inch Crome mag with a Volkswagen tire. That bike was 😎 cool! I had the 80 inch flywheels that replaced the 74inchers that bike flew Itchy! It was a lot of fun I could go on and one about it.Talking almost forty years ago, yep it was a blast! Thanks Itchy for your videos, hope Vee and you are doing good !

[@streetglideclyde8403]

Love when your bike TELLS you where the tire pressure is. And ALWAYS have a parking puck. Js.

[@frankcharles1478]

I have been riding for 50 years also, and I agree with everything you said. God bless you and Vee

I really enjoyed the video. I been thinking about buying a bike it's been 50 years since I have rode one. One thing I think you could cover on another video is what to do when a death wobble starts in and how to deal with it. I just heard about this a few days ago. Thanks again for the great advice.

[@RILLAMAN84]

I love hearing stuff like this. There’s ALWAYS something to learn about riding smart 👌🏽

[@itchymoche]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

Amen!

[@Mortan40175]

I rode a lot of chain driven bikes over the years. With my 1100 I went to shaft driven. It's a whole other animal based on throttle response and acceleration. I've owned and ridden quite a few bikes over the years. I have to agree, every single one of them had its own personality. I learned the hard way about kickstand and hot asphalt. I always carry a board with me in my bags for suck an occasion.

[@glenmo1]

They sell a lock that locks on the.. brake rotor that has an alarm ! An excellent idea even if you're running into a place for a few minutes

[@rogervonschleusingen4603]

THANK-YOU BROTHER, YOU HAVE A NICE SHOP, GREAT ADVISE, I,LL KEEP THEM IN MIND .

[@boatman222345]

Four thumbs up on the kickstand tips! Years ago I was doing a cross country ride on a R 60 BMW and I stopped in LA to visit a friend. The next day we went for a ride to a local mariner and I left my bike on the side stand in a parking lot. when we returned half an hour later there was a guy struggling to stand my bike up. he told us that it had tipped over earlier and somebody had stood it back up only to have it top over again! Broken turn signal! Scratched side case! Scratched muffler! From that point on I carried a small 1/4" aluminum plate that went between the asphalt and my side stand!

[@itchymoche]

We always learn the hard way.

[@selebalotsiu7139]

Thank you for the tips... Never assume others guyz see you

[@shakenbake7281]

good advise. A couple of my rules are don't ride in the blind spot of a vehicle (Rear quarter panel area of a car/truck ect). Don't ride beside a semi. I typically don't like to be beside any vehicle.

[@itchymoche]

Great tip!

[@mattsypersma6418]

Good point on bringing up tires, but keep in mind that age is a factor. I know too many riders right now that have tires more than 10 years old because someone put new tires on and quit riding. I've shown people how to read a tire. Maybe you could make a video on that.

Sage Advice. Thank you, Sir!

[@cakesodomy4358]

spot on with every bike being slightly different. I wasn't aware of this when I went from my Honda CB750 to a Suzuki gs750 (almost identical bikes), but the clutch engagement point on the Honda was all the way towards the end, and the Suzuki starred engaging as soon as you started letting off the lever. that combined with throttles being different as well made for fun times. wouldn't you know it, when I went to take it for a test ride, Ipopped a big ol wheelie. It was pretty comical especially on a heavy ass 1970s UJM set up as a fully decked Out cruiser with saddlebags bat wing, etc. luckily I managed to save the bike and most importantly, my pride

[@gradymarsh3080]

As a newISH rider, I totally agree with you!! Thanks for posting. On a side note... you make me sick with your perfect garage!! That beautiful Chevy truck, that badass Harley, and most of all that perfectly clean and orderly, well kept garage itself!! 👏👏👏 I frickin hate you 🤣🤣🤣

[@janice8460]

Now that is wisdom right there. Thank you for these reminders. I must get into the habit of checking my tire pressure, you have given me a friendly kick up the arse, so again thank you sir.

[@juniorjr4815]

All great points. I've followed #4 ever since I started riding on the road. Stay safe! 👊😎

[@Atyrsvc1]

The one I see broken the most is drinking and riding. I hold my own rule. Eight hours from bottle to throttle. Eight hours must pass from the last drink to getting on the bike. Now, this only applies if you have three or four. But, if one drinks in excess, then even more time should be added.

[@Han-l8m]

WOW. You have discipline!!!! 8 Hours!

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

I’ve made it three plus decades since bottle. And now that our son, whose YT am on, is grown she has finally said that she is not opposed to me getting another classic British bike. I pray I can get it done. Fully restored 64 Atlas 750. My last a Dom SS 99. I’m still a tough old geezer with fast reflexes and a clean bill of health. Not going to hoon but the ton calls me once more. “I feel the need…”. Tom Cruise’s best line.

[@Tbug666]

Great advice! Most are common sense like you said but it amazes me how many people don’t seem to have common sense these days. I would rather have common sense than to be book smart and luckily I think I do.😂 Your house and property always make me happy to see. Looks so nice and I know a lot of work goes into it everyday. I hope Vee is doing well and know she’s in my prayers always. Same way with you. We all can use prayers right? 😉🙏🏼 Have a great weekend and stay safe. Enjoy the nice weather because I can tell living here in WV the fall and dreaded winter is much closer than people want to think.

[@larrycrouse]

Great video I just watched your channel first timer but long time rider over 50 years a few crashes and a lot of road rashes. Mostly when I was younger and had two many bottles of liquid courage it's not worth it . I honestly don't know how I'm still alive but after my son was born I stopped drinking and riding after my 2nd dui listen people take in from experience ITS NOT WORTH IT front all my crashes and concussions I suffer a stroke in my 62 year and now I miss the thing I loved the most was riding my harley. So it's not just the monetary cost it's the health cost remember and take it from an old experience rider motorcycles and parts can be replaced arms legs and most injuries can be fixed now days with modern medicine but it's years down the road when it bites you in the ass hard

love the list and great advice except the lane choice, two issues with Harley Riders the glue their asses to 1 lane position and stay there, there are 3 lane positions 1 the inside nearest the center line, 2 the center (not the best place to be when it starts to rain and lift the oil) and 3 the far right position closest to roads edge, you should be where YOU can see the Best, Sometimes that's position 1, sometimes position 3, and to be seen better change your positions from time to time, and DON'T FOLLOW TO CLOSE !!! and proper cornering to the left start position 3, come into between position positions 2 and 1, never fully 1 till you can see the exit, then back to 2 or 3 when you come out, a right turn the reverse start in 1, and come in to between 2 and 3 the back towards 1 and then resume to the best lane position for you to see.

An ounce of prevention is worth 500 tons of cure when it comes to motorcycles. It is MANDATORY that you develop and maintain good habits such as constant threat assessment, proper speed in corners, staying out of blind spots, maintaining safe distances from cars, proper braking techniques etc. For newbies it might seem to take the fun out of riding but you get used to it. Good maintenance and riding habits WILL save your life at some point.

Common Sense ain't that common anymore. Everything you said about being on the Road is covered in the MSC. Taking that Course is the best advice I know of. It's a damn shame they don't require Drivers Ed. in School anymore nor is it required to even get your DL to begin with, depending on your State and Age. I can understand why people would hug the White Line. Especially if you live in an area with lots of Trucks and narrow roads. Around here there's a lot of Bubba Trucks and Duellies pulling trailers. Ain't talking about little Utility Trailers either, I'm talking 16+' of horse & car trailers with no inclination of staying in one lane. Some of the roads are barely 2 lanes as it is. And KY is a No Fault State which is ridiculous. I ALWAYS Drive as if I'm invisible. On the Bike, I'm even more so.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I NEVER drove after I had 1 drink NEVER and I sure wasn't going to try and ride my second love of my life my bike. My wife made it clear one time when I was taking about the love of my life that she was my first love and my bike came in second to her... LOL... But I just wasn't going to chance driving or riding after one drink. It was my rule and I past it on to my boys. No one can afford a DWI and if you don't show up to work because you were in jail. Well after 3 days my bosses gave your job to someone that was smart enough not to drink and drive. I watched a few guys with 20 plus year on the job lose their job over a DWI... And the union told them sorry the company saids three days no show no call you've given up your job. I had to much to lose to drink and drive or ride. I ALWAYS drink at home it was cheaper than a bar. I had no friends at the bar any way the way I drink. I drink to get DRUNK that was my only reason to drink. You lose friends quick when your falling down drunk every night. YES I was a alcoholic it took me 30 years to figure that out and get HELP from a group ex-drunks like me. 19yrs. since my last drunk PRAISE GOD!!!

Fran Haash law firm that specialized in bike accidents gave free pux to put under the kickstand, I did not know asphalt lost its strength on a hot day, that was back in the 70's I had a Honda Scrambler 360 a hot day in the parking lot at work. Itchy, that bike has a welded hasp for that nice round chrome lock? I heard the built-in fork locks are NOT as secure as the welded hasp type I have on my Sporty, which I think is a much more secure set-up.
