OUTRAGEOUS: Shocking Mistakes New Riders Must Avoid

[@texancows8007]

Hey Dan been watching you for about 4 months and riding for about 3, can’t thank you enough for keeping new riders safe by your teaching.

[@capncanada22]

Been riding for 6 months, couldn’t agree more

[@PChelpism]

it's time for me to exit this community. Thank you everyone who made it feel like a family. My riding career was ended 2022 by a drugged out car driver. I had to learn everything all over again including walking, breathing, talking. I am just now at a point where i can take care of myself. I can no longer ride ever for the rest of my life. Stay safe folks and God bless.

[@ZTK-RC]

Damn, I am so sorry to hear this! I hope you have a blessed life, I am so glad you made it through alive!

[@johncurry7246]

Glad you're able to have a chance to learn everything over, sucks you can't ride anymore though. I hope they caught the driver and punished them properly.

[@kingnull2697]

That's a shame man, take your second chance seriously.

[@sgttater2313]

happy you're alive man

[@blooeagle5118]

I commented this elsewhere but i'll say it again, i'm not a biker but i'm happy someone is actually working to help them be safer and smarter. Good job Dan

[@BossCaptain1988]

Been watching you for a year, and so far so good, I am a proud SMART rider, and I tell all my beginner biker friends to watch you before they start.

[@xtealz1993]

Finally bought the booklet. Gonna get my first bike this tuesday, 2006 honda shadow 750. Going to practice this immediately in a lot. Thx Dan! Ride responsibly people!

[@JanSkowron]

This is very useful. I have started riding a month ago, and I can already feel the impact of your teaching!

[@BiéreSaint-Pub]

You are pointing at a problem which I often ran into. People are standing around astonished at the anguish people are in from an accident. Every single time and even with 20 people being there, I was the first to call emergency service (it is 112 here, not 911). I am really cross and frustrated that they seem too scared to get out their mobiles. It seems people are just helpless themselves when they need to help.

[@John_Ridley]

Every single emergency response class you will go to covers this, it's called the "bystander effect." Everyone assumes someone else did it.

[@Tiltproof]

911 works in every country

On the 30th of October 2024, I was heading home on my bike after work and came across a massive crash involving 2 bikes and a Ute/ Pickup. There was a 3rd bike, but he was lucky enough to slow down and not crash. The ute pulled out in front of the bikes, the bikes were moving a bit over the speed limit. One hit the ute the other locked up his rear tyre and came off. There were a few witnesses who had already called Emergency services. first guy I came across had bad road rash to his right arm and feet. But was aware and alert, so we laid him down and talked to him until Emergency services arived, he was wearing his helmet and riding pants and gloves. No jacket or riding boots. His normal shoes did nothing for him. As they flew off. He is now okay no life-threatening injuries, If he was wearing the full gear, he would have been pretty good, probably only a broken/sore arm from hitting the ground. Unfortunately, the second guy wasn't so lucky, sadly... he was under the ute and was mutilated, His helmet did nothing for him... his head was crused. He was killed instantly. Oneof the witnesses covered him up. scene was unlike anything I have ever seen before... We and His mates on scene especially the guy that didn't crash and went to check on him will never unsee that shit and neither will everyone else on scene I feel for everyone involved especially the families.😢 Don't think I will be riding again anytime soon.

[@swashington942]

Did his head hit against the truck or did the truck wheels actually roll over his head?

[@Ozzy-DRZ-Adventures]

@swashington942 The wheels went over his head and torso.

[@swashington942]

@@Ozzy-DRZ-Adventures omg that’s messed up

[@1gorSouz4]

I've never thought someone would talk about DMT in a motorcycle video 😂😂 Man I love your sense of humor!

[@Dennis_The_Menace_R7]

The real ones know what that is, and the pineal gland too! lol

[@coltonadams6936]

@15:20 the car crossed a double yellow left hand turn lane designed/designated for the lanes the bike was in.

[@cerico76]

Shorts, helmet not even fastened , and riding with an old bike like a pro. You deserve a car.

[@CageFreeTom]

Another good video. I've fallen before (stopped while turning on loose gravel on road, not a good idea) and hit the ground pretty hard on one side. I was wearing armor(CE2) and felt nothing other than embarrassment. I am curious how some of these fallen riders did, wish they would break down what they wore and injuries they suffered.

[@Xholllow]

22:01 rider from Malaysia. Riders here are very skilled, sometimes too skilled that it bugs me.

[@DaveTheMotoGamer]

9:25 hey DanDan I use Sugru to hold my cameras on my helmet before as well. Unfortunately it’s been discontinued for a few years 😢

[@alindberg8001]

Are you sure it's discontinued? Made by Tesa, I can find it on their website

[@DaveTheMotoGamer]

@@alindberg8001 In my country it is.

[@awuma]

14:39 Strange road markings. Normally, you can't cross a solid line (perhaps in this jurisdiction, it's OK if the line is yellow). Certainly not two left-turn lanes. Next intersection, it's white. WTF?

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

14:40- Bruh, I'm old school. I still ride with a Garmin GPS. It takes too much attention to see the small print on the phone. 😄 RE: The last "mountain road" crash... I'm betting that dude regrets his attire choice (shorts & tee-shirt) for the ride. OMG!!! 🫨

[@John_Ridley]

Android Auto fixes the small print problem.

[@John_Ridley]

Notice that last genius had his helmet on only for legal purposes, not strapped.

[@randomman2060]

is there a app to tell you how sharp some turn will be and give you the speed you should go ?

[@paulbarr80]

How can I submit videos to you? I have 2, one good one bad I'd love your feedback on. Cheers.

[@nerdytech7287]

100% guarantee dan definitely never been to a track lol.

[@KinglyKitten]

A quick shifter doesn't allow you to BE in gear without the clutch, it allows you to shift into gear without the clutch. My guess is she bumped the shifter by accident. A Rekluse auto clutch is what would allow you to be in gear at idle with the clutch out.

[@chadrobinson3374]

So I know I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to chime in on the Indian rider with the Garmin GPS. If you look at the car coming head on at him, it is on the wrong side of the double yellow.

[@looslaura1]

7:30 ABS?

[@JustJoe_media]

The one with the middle turn lane, Indian with the Garmin. What no one realizes is you're not supposed to ride that lane like he tried to, you pull into there pretty much right where you need to turn.

[@kingnull2697]

The solid white stripe after the intersection implies you're supposed to ride through the intersection in the suicide lane.

[@ChrisVanMiddelkoop]

that zx10 rider seems too new for that size bike.

[@x-man5056]

It's very intimidating when some dork jumps bad at you and his pants fall down. But the Moto rider should not have stopped to jaw-jack with the dummy. "when you wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty, but the pigs like it ."

[@skrabio]

5:55 he clearly hit some gravel 😂

[@MichaelCesar-k1n]

That last one with the guy passing on a double yellow line in the curves and crashing. He was wearing shorts?! Not a S.M.A.R.T. rider.

[@RiteshTrikha]

First!

[@mustangstrike8355]

😀

[@grandprixjames]

I disagree on the lane position. The far left is the blind spot. Middle right is where you want to be. The guy didn't look before coming over or it was unintentional blindness. Nothing you can do except escape to the left and possibly brake.

[@ZTK-RC]

Which timestamp?

[@kingnull2697]

No, because it greatly increases the difficulty of evasive action. People are going to miss motorcycles no matter what.

[@grandprixjames]

@@ZTK-RC 12:40 He is definitely going too fast. No doubt. Maybe being in the far left going at that speed and at night would be a good idea. In general it is a bad idea though. If you can't see them they can't see you.

[@Robert-xs2mv]

You are in a blind spot regardless, you are invisible!
