MOTORCYCLE MASTERCLASS 32

[@derektrainer7148]

Having read a few comments it still needs to be .mentioned that the work to get these videos out is immense Having secured my IAM first and holding a Rospa gold gained 14 months ago , I consider myself a competent rider, that said we never stop learning . Personally I find these videos refreshing a must for all riders irrespective of experience. A remark to those newer riders would be that with time and quality practice IPSGA and your safe ride planning will in time become second nature. Looking forward to more of the same. Safe riding. Dell-Boy.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi Dell-boy, thanks for that and congratulations on your advanced test passes - these can be a lot of work to make, but also a lot of fun and well worth the effort if it encourages people to improve their standard and their safety. I try and get a bit of everything in them if I can with some good demonstrations, scenic roads and coffee stops as well as reinforcing the importance to get the basics right and teach yourself good practice. I try to demonstrate a relaxed style and hopefully get a bit of humour in there too but most importantly, I enjoy myself out there, especially riding round the Forest - stay safe too and thanks again for taking the time to put your comments on here DB

[@andycrump3601]

I just wanted to say thanks for producing such great videos. I picked up lots of useful information and tips. I've passed my IAM test today and some of the credit belongs to you. Thanks.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi Andy, Congratulations on passing your IAM test and thanks for your very kind words, I'm really pleased that you found the videos useful, it's always good to hear such positive feedback - stay safe and have fun out there - Dale

[@BoatingBiker]

Another very worthwhile video. Reminding me to get down to Sammy miller's museum sooner rather than later. seeing that this is a five year old video, I am very suprised that the viewing total to date is 91. These are easily the cream of the crop when it comes to instructional content and overall excellence. Many thanks and ride safe.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi, and thankyou for taking the time to comment on it. I'm very lucky to live in this stunning part of the world, it's a great place to ride in. If you're planning on visiting the museum, they are building a new cafe soon and converting the existing one into an Italian room for more bikes. If you can do it, come down for 10 on a Tuesday morning, Sammy let's us park in the courtyard so you get a free impromptu bike show with everything from my mates 1937 Guzzi to this week's crutch rocket - there's very often a guy there with a big Benelli that you can say hello to. The sausage and egg baps are superb and the coffees not bad either. DB

[@BournemouthSchoolTec]

Hi Dale, Just watching one of your videos. I really enjoyed meeting you on Sunday at Sammy's, a very enjoyable chat. Matt

[@seaflyfisher]

@@BournemouthSchoolTec Thanks Matt, very good to meet you to - I have to go down again in the morning and eat a sausage and egg bap with a bucket of coffee and then go for a ride somewhere scenic - it's a tough life but someone has to do it 😎

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Another great video seaflyfisher it has a great interactive approach with the viewer to draw them into the reasons behind your decisions and style of driving .Yet again the video points out how the correct approach to the viewers own driving can save them from other drivers faux paux and a potential accident. After seeing both Neils and your own excellent videos I have booked myself a few days tuition with a local advanced driver in a few weeks ,hopefully he can teach an old Dog a few new tricks.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi Andi - excellent - I'd be interested to know how you get on so if you get a chance to film any of it, stick some on here - if your instructor is worth their salt you should get a lot out of it - it's one thing to watch it on here but much better to get some one to one road time and have a good live demo done for you - well worth asking if they'll video you too - the first ride with Neil was done with live commentary and I thought was the most interesting and the most beneficial for him to have me point out the pros and cons of his ride as it happens rather than a debrief relying on both your memorys afterwards - have fun - DB

[@davidroberts9308]

I'm returning to riding after a 12 year break, Whilst on holiday in the evenings I've watched your back catalogue of videos, and its brought it all back to me, your commentary takes me back to where i left off, riding with a guy called Neville (Retired Motorcycle Rider) both as a friend and Dummy Student for trainee Instructors who where being trained by him. Your approach, your thought process reminds me of all of my training and i'm now looking forward more than ever to getting back out. Thank you,

[@seaflyfisher]

You're welcome David and welcome back, I'm really pleased that you found the videos useful, it's just a shame about the weather :-)

[@tinkertime7165]

Ok. It’s as clear as day. I have seen other vids out there and you are the best. By far. I know there are always ‘opinion’ issues or preferences, like left foot/right foot down at lights, etc, but your methods and thought processes make perfect sense. I differ slightly over filtering. I’m careful but like it, only really in busy urban areas tho. Why do it in the country? You are only robbing yourself of a few tasty overtakes 😉. I’m not that good at low speed (walking pace) manoeuvres. Have you covered this anywhere? I’ve not seen it yet. You must have been chuffed watching Neils vid of observing you on the Wiltshire ride. It looked really good. Silky smooth positioning and progress. Nice to watch. I am out there a lot now improving almost daily. Hope to see you again soon.

[@seaflyfisher]

Thanks very much - I liked the videos I did with Neil too, it's interesting being able to see the same ride from both bikes - more on the way soon :-)

[@resemblesanacorn6561]

I think I've watched every one of your 'Motorcycle Masterclass' vids. Absolutely priceless for someone like me, who has returned to motorcycling after a break of about 10 years or so. I hope you are working hard on another 32 masterclass vids, as I have recently subscribed, and check KZbin everyday, alas to no avail... :D Seriously though, a big thanks from me for posting all this invaluable knowledge and experience.

[@seaflyfisher]

Apologies RAA I thought I'd replied to you already but thanks for taking the time to comment, it's good to hear from you that you're finding the videos useful and why, it helps me to decide on content for the next ones - talking of which, I've got some interesting projects in the pipeline which unfortunately will have to be delayed for a while now - once we're cleared for take off again I'll be posting some new material - stay safe and hopefully we'll be back out on the road soon

[@resemblesanacorn6561]

@@seaflyfisher Thanks for the reply. I can't wait for this nightmare to be over, and i'm looking forward to the next installment of Motorcycle Masterclass. I'll be commuting on the pot holed roads of Shropshire, for the foreseeable future, so i'll be a frequent visitor to your channel for weekly refreshers. Take care, see you soon, fingers crossed!

[@mikeroberts]

Another nice one. I had a few chortles on the way through. Self cancelling motorcycle indicators are the work of the Devil and I have disabled mine on the Triumph. Where I have a left followed straight away by another left, I leave the indicator on and supplement it with an arm signal. (Non-highway code style, extended from the elbow, not the shoulder). I think in the situation where you were stopped at the temporary traffic lights and were blocking the junction for the blue car behind, who wanted to turn right, I'd have given up some of that space in front of me to minimise the risk of the right turner clipping me. Finally, have you changed something in the camera or editing suite settings? This video seems to have much more up/down shake than your others. Keep them coming.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi Mike - these things are good fun to make to include a bit of fun in - the stopping at the lights car - I didn't want to move to a position of risk and didn't feel the need to either - the driver turning off could see a long way down the road that it was clear - those tricky conditions again :D - they didn't need to cut the corner and had plenty of time and room to turn off - the next car behind me actually left a good gap but equally if I'd squashed up and then he'd squashed me up as well I'd have left myself in a dodgy position with very few options - I wasn't obstructing him so I gave him the choice of either going while the road was clear or wait - I won't compromise my safety to compensate for somebody else's indecision and convenience - camera wise I lifted the camera a bit but the seating arrangements are a little different on the Triumph which is hugely long and the Benelli which feels like a real yob bike when you ride it after the Triumph - stay safe my friend - DB

Hi Dale. I just wanted to say thanks for taking all the time for the videos. I'm on a course starting next week and getting through the book has been a lot easier with your vids.

[@seaflyfisher]

@@robdawes1694 - Hi Rob apologies for the delay in getting back to you but I've only just seen your reply - KZbin doesn't always notify you of comments - thats a shame you had a wet course, it knocks the edge off it a bit doesn't it - having said that, although it's not so much fun, it can also help to demonstrate your ability and if your ride is smooth and well planned you can carry speed like you do in the dry. If you ride the same all the time you won't get caught out in the wet. What course did you do, was it IAM or ROSPA or something different ? Stay safe my friend - DB

It seems you may have Thai drivers on the road (van on the wrong side of the road). I am now so used to it that I don't bat an eyelid. Great stuff again, you have been a great help with my riding and particularly my confidence. I'm a lot less jumpy than I was 6 months ago.

[@markdaws5476]

Another very helpful video. Observation is superb. You certainly see things from a long way, that I don’t..........

[@seaflyfisher]

Good morning Mark - all this stuff is there for us to see - a majority of drivers don't look for it but observation is a skill that's well worth investing time in to develop - it's a simple technique to train yourself and it will make a huge difference to your riding - next time you watch TV, particularly the adverts, concentrate on what is going on in the background and get as much information and detail as you can - you'll still "see" the advert and the lady with the washing up liquid but you'll have taken in a shed load more information that you wouldn't normally have been looking for - it's the same principle - on every new view, look as far into the distance as you can and work back towards yourself - you'll still see and react to anything that happens in front of you but in the meantime you're giving yourself the heads up for things that might be about to happen and you can start planning for earlier - obviously it helps if you're magnificent to start with but everyone can do this and you'll notice a big difference in your riding - stay safe :D

Hi, Really finding your videos really useful - very many thanks for taking the time to prepare the videos. As I am just returning to biking after a 25 year break and find technology has moved on and wondered if you could let me have your views on sat nav's and communication systems. I am of the view that the satnab/google maps can be helpful especially if the route and turns are spoken thereby reducting the need to look at the screen which can be a distraction. On another point it may be useful to speak to my wife (pillion) on a long trip! Any views would be welcome as I have invested in good riding gear but not a comms system. Best regards.

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi SNP apologies for the delay - I wrote a reply to you the other day and it blanked itself before I could send it - personally I don't use a satnav on the bike, I used to ride for a living and have a pretty good knowledge of how to get to most places without too much difficulty but the technology is certainly very clever - I did used to have an Autocom rider to pillion intercom which was brilliant and the up to date stuff is even better being wireless - if you intend taking your good lady out on the back it makes life a lot easier to tell her things rather than trying to shout back over your shoulder whilst pointing - they are rechargeable and good for a couple of days worth, plus you can have music or your phone tagged up to them as well - good stuff - glad that you're finding the videos useful and welcome back to the wonderful world of biking - a good friend of mine, Neil from Back2TheBike would be a good man to pick his brains on the satnavs as he has one on his BMW and uses it a lot - stay safe out there - cheers - Dale

Hello young man - well done that's brilliant news that you've signed up for your course - you'll learn a lot from the Traffic guys - they're in the seat all day so they know how to ride not only to the highest standard but also efficiently, to maintain concentration all day. Concentrate on positioning and acceleration sense and get straight to speed where you can - I've no doubt the boys will do you a demo ride and I know that you'll be impressed with the level of riding that these guys are capable of. I'm sure Neil will be fine - hopefully hes had that awful jacket surgically removed - no doubt he'll bounce back soon enough Please let us know if you get a star with your "A" and if you get the chance to video your ride - get it on here and let us have a look -stay safe my friend

[@anton5749]

Dale, I’m a bit confused when changing position between 1 2 3 etc. Do you ALWAYS need to mirror check before you change position?

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi - the short answer is yes - at the information stage at the start of your run through the system it will include observation before you select and/or change your course to make sure that the manoeuvre is safe. I'm guessing that you're already doing this anyway and generally your normal regular use of the mirrors is going to cover some of your movements across the lane - whenever you alter course, you need to be certain that your move is safe and if you can't be sure since your last rear observation then yes you need another one. Stay safe out there.

[@anton5749]

Thanks for that

Great video once again, just a quick question if I may regarding speed limits, my biggest problem seem to be irate sales reps and testosterone raged young guys who get totaly peeded off with me sticking to the speed limits [30 & 40 mph] and have overtaken me and put their selves in illegal and dangerous positions, my question is "are you tempted to break speed limit to get away from them?

[@seaflyfisher]

Hi and thanks for your comment - its tricky isn't it and one of the reasons that I have the cameras on my bike - personally I stick to the thirty and forty limits because they're there for a reason - out on the open roads you pay your money and take your chance - I've always been a speed fan but there's a time and a place and I don't let anyone push me into a position that i'm not happy with or to compensate for someone else's poor judgement and frustrations - I'm not sure that there's an answer to your question but good positioning will definitely help - I find that you get a lot more respect from other drivers if you look like you know what you're doing - it draws attention for all the right reasons - you can see from my last couple of videos that I get the same thing and there will always be these idiots that think its okay to try the "bigger vehicle intimidation" and find it funny to play road games and put your life at risk - if it really gets that bad, pull in and let them pass - your safety must always come first and if one of these brain donors decides to scat you - we're going to come off second best - thanks again for taking the time to comment - cheers - Dale
