🏍️Hey ADV RIDERS, welcome to another video in the adventure motorcycle training series. Today. I wanted to talk about some of the most common mistakes I've seen adv riders make while running tours across the world. It is something we stress a lot to our riders that come with us on trips because ending up in the hospital in the middle of your once in a lifetime trip can be a total show stopper and it makes us sad when we see that most of them could have been completely avoidable. Anyways, hop-off that Adventure Motorcycle for a sec and come watch this one because I think you're going to perhaps learn a thing or two.

I ride 365 days. Once in winter i lost control on a icy bridge and found myself lying on the road. I rushed to pick up my bike as fast as possible (because of other cars) But while picking my bike half way up it slighted on the icy surface away from me. I hurted my backbone so badly that i had to go to the hospital. So my crash was not the problem, i didnt hurt my self at all....it was just the hurry to pick up my bike..................safe ride to all the readers. (and by the way.... nice video and well made :-) )

Just one more thought...when going around a blind curve, especially on dirt roads, DON’T cut the corner! Stay way into your own “lane”. The closer you cut the corner the greater the likelihood someone will be coming too fast from the other direction at the same time. Murphy is alive and well!

I'm 64 and have been riding since I was 15. The list you make goes over very important parts and is excellent for all types of riding. On road and off. A key point you made that people tend to ignore is your bike will go where your eyes are looking. Another if you weigh 80 pounds you have no need for a 800 pound motorcycle that you cannot pick up. If your a great rider you might not crash, but simple things do happen. If you fail to put your side stand down on a hard surface it can sink in dirt causing the motorcycle to fall when it's parked. If you cannot pick the bike up by yourself get a lighter bike. Ride smart if a car cuts you off it might have been a blind spot where the driver of the car did not see you. Showing the driver your middle finger and screaming at them is foolish, remember the car is heavier than your bike, you piss them off they can hit you with their car and knock you off your bike or worst. Use your head not only to wear a helmet but to use your brain to avoid situation that can end badly for you.

leaning uphill while turning around is the #1 most important tip. I always tell people this when theyre new because it's not intuitive, a lot of people will instinctively lean towards the direction movement, which is fine on the road on completely flat terrain but is 100% wrong on a slope and will cause you to drop your bike.

Thank you - here I was thinking I was the only one. 😉 I only ever stand when it's actually necessary. It's definitely not necessary for 90+% of my dirt riding (typically heavily loaded, fast, outback sand and bulldust, or poorly maintained mountain firetrails) I do shift my weight to the pegs a reasonable amount as surfaces change, but standing just because there's dirt? Yeah nah. Hammering through a dry rocky creek bed? Sure. Stand for the second or two it takes to cross the hazard, and back in the saddle. It just makes sense.

Really good tips there that are really well explained. I've just hit that subscribe button. One I'll Definitely bear in mind is parking near the side of the road when I go abroad. In the UK, because we drive on the left, the bike leans away from the road. The fact it leans into the road abroad hadn't occurred to me at all.

Great list! I’ve been riding street since 92, but l learned the most as the first Motorcycle Patrol rider for AAA in North America, out of Sacramento. Here’s a couple vital rules. 1-Never take your eyes off the road in front of you. 2-Always have an out, if the situation changes. 3-Always ride like your invisible. 4-Most people can see you, they just don’t care, or hate bikers. 5-Don’t linger behind cars or in the blind spots. 6-Don’t follow behind center of car. Follow their tire tracks. If they drive your road debris, and you don’t see it you will have no time to avoid it. Retread if trucks is hard to see and avoid. 7-If you decide to pass, do it swiftly and efficiently. Don’t dawdle. 8-It’s easy to add speed, hard to reduce it entering a corner. 9-Downshifting helps reduce speed, and get you out of corner in proper gear. 10-Give people more respect than they deserve, especially cops, people with guns, and overseas. Your already being stereotyped, don’t prove them right. 11-Throttle and speed will keep you alive, don’t be afraid to use it!

The one on group rides is why I enjoy going solo. I have not found someone who matches my pace. I don't ride fast and I don't go too slow. I also hate when folks stop every 5 min to take a picture, have a cig, or need a wee. So far solo seems to be the best for me. The other tips, very useful!

Sorry to say, but this video should be called, "13 Common Mistakes All Riders Make." All of these "mistakes" apply to both on and off road. The simple truth is to be safe, ride safe, and use common sense. If you are unable to think that turning the bike around downhill would be a good idea, you probably shouldn't be riding. Trust me folks, common sense goes a long way and I appreciate RIDE Adventures for uploading this video for the simpletons. Have fun and get out and explore what the world has to offer.

We figured he's a lucky dude : ) ---- Thanks for watching and sharing this good point.

This is a great list. The biggest mistake I find myself doing even after many years of off road riding is not fully utilizing the capabilities of the bike I'm riding. When attacking difficult terrain, especially steep inclines, I've found that it's best to stop over braking or over steering and just let the bike do what it does best. It seems like every jam I've gotten into was the result of my holding back and not trusting what the bike was capable of.

Ofc... I fell over... And immediately panicked and tried to pick up the bike almost immediately)... Lol Almost choose the wrong bike as well back a couple years ago... Used to want the BMW R1250GS, but after just sitting at it, i immediately thought "this bike is far too big and too heavy for me to be enjoyable" so i used the money to buy secondhand Ninja 650 and KTM 450 EXC and save the leftover money for the trip...
