There’s a channel called MotoClips UK. It’s a catalogue of what not to do. 80% of clips are of horrific riders and awful choices. They’re usually followed up by a slew of abuse, arguments and gesticulations, too.

[@africanpirate972]

Agreed they make all the other riders look bad.

[@adammcallister2260]

Top video. When the gravel clip came up, my immediate thought was “get everything sorted before you start the turn”. Make sure you’re in the right gear, indicator on, brakes on, get ready for observations just before you turn. Making adjustments through turns will upset the bike. Looks like we had a case of target fixation, too. Rule number 1 on a bike is: Regardless of who has priority, you lose in a fight.

[@skoorchignat]

Yamaha guy strategy

[@mikejankowski6321]

Also, the road you want will not evaporate if you miss it. Abort a badly set up turn, go straight, turn around properly, and come back. See that a lot with cars cutting across lanes in dash cam videos.

[@bmo3778]

​@@skoorchignat I usually do what the Yamaha rider did. Braking, no swerving, then continue my riding, no need to honk, yell, nor rev in anger. If I am shocked after a close call, I stop by the road side, wait for a minute to calm down, then proceed the journey with a clear mind.

[@bmo3778]

I think this rider at least tried to do something which resulted in reducing the damage: slowing down. I see many riders turn without slowing down. I admit I sometimes do that ✋ And after this video, I will try not to do that again😅

[@mattthomson1689]

Love your reviews! My folly: country 2-lane empty road....missed my turn, so continued to next turn onto dirt road, executed a magnificently controlled U-turn and slowly rolled up to a stop sign and stopped to revel in my skill.....placing my foot down, not fully realizing I was at the bottom of an upward slope, my foot simply contacted free air and the Concours followed my foot all the way down! A friendly passerby assisted with getting upright again. 😂

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

Same thing happened to me. I stopped to see if there was a problem with a one ton farm wife's truck parked in the middle of the road right next to a major intersection out in the 'country'. Another farm woman was standing on the road and leaning into the cab as the two women were discussing whatever women discuss when parked in the middle of a road right next to an intersection from one secondary hwy onto another one. I stopped on the left side because there was no other place to go. I put my foot down, expecting contact with the ground as I was looking to the right and wondering WTF? is wrong with these women or perhaps there is a problem. Anyway, there was no ground to contact and my bike began to tip over and I was helpless to keep it upright. The entire weight of the 500 pound bike came to rest on top of my left foot via the left foot peg. Good thing I wear gear and good quality boots. However, two years later I still have pain in my left foot exactly where the peg made contact. My doctor told me the foot was not broken but I suspect there is nerve damage. Lesson learned: Always look where you put your foot down and where you kick stand is going to go. Another lesson learned: Do not trust truck or car drivers. Expect them all to be deaf, dumb, blind and total morons. Ride Safe you all and thanks for this presentation.

[@Mus.Anonymouse]

Great analysis. Too many riders think they are strong and mighty, however on a bike you are weak and vulnerable. Your only pro's are agility and speed (of breaking). A defensive riding approach is a must to survive.

It's really stupid to ride there. But also, in my country, car drivers are educated to make a shoulder glance before switching directions. It's a very important part of driving a car in full sight and being aware of your surrounding. So there is a little reason to be pissed on car drivers, if they never check the blind spot.

[@gizmoZG]

True to an extent, but that car did not blink. I wonder just how many accidents would be avoided on the roads if people used their blinkers properly. Everybody’s gonna forget from time to time, but there’s obviously a lot of drivers who forget most of the time.

[@dgk42]

This may seem silly, but I spent years riding a bicycle before I had a motorbike. Those years taught me that falling is painful as well as many techniques to avoid falling or to avoid a painful fall. Yes, motorbikes are bigger and heavier, but many techniques are the same.

[@myrdhina]

Acting like you've invented the wheel here. Nobody misses that similarity, but I don't feel bicycles learned me all that much about motorcycle riding. You can ride a bicycle without mastering countersteering at all, try this on a motorbike and it will get you killed.

[@LuckyCharms777]

@@myrdhina​​⁠ You’ve obviously never ridden a bicycle above single digit speeds. It’s okay, I understand, not every motorcyclist is physically fit enough to get a bicycle above 9 mph, that’s why you rely on a motor rather than pedaling. I suggest you borrow your little brother’s bicycle and ride it down a steep hill with a curve. Then you’ll realize that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The main difference in countersteering a bicycle is that most people don’t realize they do it because bicycles are ridden slower than motorcycles so they lean and countersteer much more subtly.

11:10 I was taught to overtake or don't overtake but never sit in a lane next to another vehicle. Hang back until you have space in front to complete the move in one go.

Contrary to what they say, even an old dog can learn new tricks. Every rider develops bad habits and seeing them in others exposes our bad habits to ourselves. Every rider who takes safety seriously should constantly reinforce and add to their existing knowledge.

[@filipvrijders7994]

Very good instructions and I m glad this channel exist. I recommend it to many riders I know, especially the younger and newer riders. Like you said in one of your videos: learn of others their mistakes. But also learn from those who know it better, like listening to a sensei😊: he went before you on the path. I am riding since the 80’s and I m still alive, so are my 2 friends and we are hitting the apex of 60. That means we learned a lot by experience and by listening to others. We had no schools, there were no instructors… So use that knowledge! I lost 5 friends in crashes😢. Big advice: open your eyes, anticipate. Leave your ego home and your emotions, like the Yamaha person and know, you still learn every day. The only ones who are close to perfect are people like Valentino and co. To get there is a ver long and painful learning curve with hundreds of crashes. Every year there are 164.000 crashes in al devisions together! Did anyone ever see Valentino Rossi brag about his skills? Gentle, calm, friendly…And above all: courageous, which means the night before a race , beeing nervous and a little afraid, but having the balls to overcome. Those are examples, I think.

In Carno42's case he lingered too long in the right car's blind spot. I would usually stick to the left side of the car so that he sees me in the mirror or if not I can easily just split lane once he merges to the left.

[@MrBCRC]

If you look at it again you will notice that it was a brief moment where the rider moved across to get a look at the traffic ahead. For the rider the bike would have disappeared into a blindspot. It may be an unpopular opinion but this is the precise situation where an exhaust that's louder than a sewing machine would have prevented an incident.

[@MarekSchimara]

@@MrBCRC Doubt it, the sound would be coming from the back into a reasonably soundproofed car, also probably the radio is on / the driver is chatting with passengers / driver is on their phone / has hearing problems...). Better assume noone can hear you. I ride but I also have a car and very rarely hear any "loud pipes". Mostly annoying the pedestrians or revving at traffic lights (that one's really usefull isn't it ...).

[@LuckyCharms777]

@@MrBCRC​​⁠​​⁠ Yes, it appears that you might be correct, the rider briefly moved left to possibly peek at traffic ahead; however, he did that while approaching parallel to the vehicle in the left lane, which made him invisible. Yes, loud pipes might’ve helped, but not making that mistake would’ve definitely helped. He lingered too long in their blind spot. In my opinion, loud pipes are mostly a crutch for bad riders, and they’re also an excuse for attention-seeking behavior. Funnily enough, while loud pipes might cause others to hear that a rider is nearby, they also reduce the ability of riders to hear surrounding traffic noises such as horns, screeching tires, impacts, etc.

[@frodelangset9790]

Agree to all you say in this video. Also, for the first guy, I think this is about the path he selected to go. He might have gained some lean angle (wider turn, less lean angle) if he had initiated the turn a bit later and a bit more to the right. Look at the guy behind him who is filming. He is actually turning more to the right to fulfill the previous turn more before initiating the next turn farther to the right. I think the problem for the guy crashing already started in the previous turn that he should have initiated later and farther to the left and also enden farther to the right to prepare for the curve he failed in. My two cents!

[@r1learner178]

It is good to see someone who knows car drivers perspective explain the situations. I am also a car driver and I even check the pavement RARELY for the bikes before turning right that can jump on me from the pavement to the road. I try to check most of the time when I can remember there can be a motorcycle that can try to pass me from my right shoulder even though I have my right blinker on for several seconds. But it is hard to see even when you check the mirror and easy to forgot to check right mirror - which we do not have to in our country because lane splitting is not allowed - while turning right when I have 30 cm between me and the pavement. Riding on right shoulder or riding on blind spots with a motorcycle is dangerous even when the car driver is experienced and cautious/careful. It is like motorcycles pop out of nowhere when they go faster than the ongoing traffic, like they have been teleported and there were no trace of a motorcycle that pass me on my right shoulder when I check my mirror a second ago.

[@Kluneberg]

A lot of riders have this assumption that car drivers should be looking out for them at all times. Yeah, no. As a long time car driver and a recent motorcycle rider, thank you for calling out on this attitude. Unless you live somewhere in Asia/Africa/South America, cars make like 99.9% of the traffic on the roads. No car driver is ever looking out for you because they simply don't encounter you on the road most of the time. Not to mention that until I got my motorcycle training I had no clue how different riding is to driving - controls, braking, cornering, behavior on the road.. it was a very humbling experience for me who though "if I can drive a car and operate a plethora of different kind of machinery, a puny motorcycle should be child play" boy, was I wrong. I can assure you most drivers don't have a clue either. In addition, cars keep getting bigger and with bigger blind spots. As a result any sort of ridding style that is not defensive and not with the assumption that you're invisible to most of the traffic is going to result with you eventually being involved in a crash even if you weren't technically at fault. Personally I'd rather be the guy at 5:00 who goes about his day after a near miss, than to stand my ground risking getting involved in a crash just to prove someone else wasn't paying enough attention.

[@Racha0900]

Your comments are excellent. Drama queen motorcycle riders are so annoying, "you tried to kill me!" It's our job to save our own skin. So many accidents could be prevented by breaking, so many riders under-break. But never add lean angle while accelerating. In track schools they will give you a stern talking to for that. Here in California it's legal to lane split but you should only be going 10 mph over the speed of traffic, and only if traffic is moving slowly or stopped.

Although most debris finally ends up in a section of the road which is not regulary used (otherwise someone would again bump into it, which does not happen in an unused part of the road). So avoiding a highway gore or uninterrupted lines is a good idea to reduce this risk.

[@jerasmus]

Completely agree about that Civic driver. And he/she might even have been trying to be considerate to any lane-splitting bikers.

Great video, as always.

[@drinopon1933]

On 3:00 I don't know about other country but in France and most of european country, you're not supposed to go faster than your left lane or else it's an illegal overtake from the right, so the bike was wrong from the start since he wasn't supposed to got that fast.

I am so sorry, but that was not a blind spot. Now if you talk about being in the blind spot of visible bad driver, that I can agree on. And by that I mean, the side mirrors of this car were mostly there to look the paint of the car, not for traffic, when I decided to ride motorcycle, my brother (he is a lot into cars) told me if I see that, to be aware those people just don't look to their sides. However, it is not really a blind spot of the car. Proper position of your side mirrors will cover all the area that you can't check with eyes on your side.

i wish i had a video of my motorcycle accident for you to review man. It went something like this: time-23:00. Starting in the right lane, approaching intersection/green light. Right lane begins to come to stop, so i merge into the middle lane, which begins to slow down as traffic hasnt started moving yet in the middle lane (distracted driver or something, i could see the still car ahead of the jeep in front of me.). I go to merge into the left lane, when i notice at the very last second there is a black car with no headlights on in that lane, right where im aiming. I go to swerve, shooting for the gap inbetween the black car and the jeep in front of me, but my front wheel clips the jeeps giant tire, ended up launching myself and the black car swerved around me and fled the scene. One definite mistake i can call myself out on is not slowing down more than i was. ofc i was eased onto the brakes because things were slowing down for the most part, but i was still going a good deal faster than everyone else because from my view i had an opening. Said opening closed very quickly, and blindly (black car, no headlights lol). looking back on it if i was going even a little slower i would have had time to match speeds with the jeep in front of me and just let the black car pass before double checking the lane again and overtaking. ironically enough i was on an instagram live when i did it but i was too concerned with making sure i wasnt too messed up to remember to actually save the live. Thankfully, i rolled. so i walked away with a deep chunk in my elbow where the roll stopped, and some minor road rash on my forearms and stuff. (needless too say, very, very, VERY lucky). Also i wanna say my speed was around 40 mph when i made contact with the jeep. anyway...just wanted to share this in hopes someone can pick something up from it. i know i have, and im also about to pick up a great deal in motorcycle repair...cause im fixin her, and then hitting the road again :)

Good job pointing out those bad riders and mistakes. I am fed up with seeing moto channels showing off "bad drivers", and seeing angry motorcyclists flip off, swear etc. others, when they themselves have 50% of the blame.

You produce great video tutorials, and I always enjoy watching them. I've been riding for 32 years, and when riding I ALWAYS assume that people driving cars, trucks, and buses are deaf, stupid, unaware of their surroundings and problably using their phones or navigation. And at least 10% are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We, as bikers, are responsible for our own safety. Look ahead for quickly changing traffic conditions and when in doubt, brake and be ready to react. And above all, don't ride like an idiot, which was apparent in the filtering and passing on the left videos. I only saw one rider doing a head check over his shoulder, and he unfortunately missed seeing the battery in the road. Keep up the super content!

love your videos as you seem to talk from common sense and not blame it everyone who 'hates bike riders'. i have been riding for 40 years and one accident at age 18 was my fault like some of these in the video. while sitting at home with a broken leg, it just became common sense on how to avoid crashes and cars doing what cars do. but as we say, common sense isnt all that common.

[@nikoskalyvas231]

Great video! I'd love to see more of these. This is like the dan dan videos of old, before it was full of promotions. Btw, this is probably the best motorcycle techniques channel in youtube. keep up the good work.

[@robbo8444]

Great content mate. You explain things in an engaging way and is super helpful to us riders.

1:47 maybe it would be better to say wait until we see the exit AND BIKE IS POINTING TO DESIRED DIRECTION. Manytimes I can see the exit way before the end of the corner. Accelerating at that point cause exactly what you discuss there. Accelerating and trying to increase leaning angle at the same time or dont increase lean angle and end up outside the road. Both may be fatal.

This kind of video is great because we often see videos of crashes but we don't really know the reason for these crashes.So I hope you will make more analyses of crashes.❤

[@michaelmariano9721]

Thank you for interpreting the videos, you make the best comments and suggestions in all videos I watch. Do more of this content. 👍

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You have a new subscriber from the Southeast corner of Colorado on the plains. I am about to get my first motorcycle. Most of my experience is road cycling. There are a lot of crossovers/similarities between the 2. Biggest part is speed. But I see the same I D 10 T’s on road cyclists as I see motorcycles. The rider on the Yamaha was a very good example. The others are why most drivers hate motorcyclists and cyclists. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Overtaking on right side if you have right-hand traffic and less than three lanes on same direction is forbidden in many countries. I would say that overtaking by right lane is improper most of times.

The first guy gave up on trail braking too early. You can see his light come off. The front unloaded, followed by a premature abrupt acceleration. You are asking too much of the rear wheel. Body position could've helped a lot, even your head weight alone could make a difference. Kiss the left mirror, this will remove a couple of crucial degrees of your lean angle.

Nice content, loved the format. Need more of these educational breakdowns

[@PMitchell106]

Glad to see someone properly dissecting the mistakes made in these examples. There was another channel that used to do this kind of thing, but now it's just devolved into clickbait nonsense.

10:20 It's in France, lanesplitting is legal under few conditions. One of them is speed limit (50km/h)... 133 is suicide...

[@veiledallegory]

I’m glad you reviewed this video. I find myself watching these videos yelling at the screen because these idiots don’t know how to ride. It’s ok to be a new rider but ride accordingly. These IDIOTS give all bikers a bad name and are the reason people talk about how “Dangerous” motorcycles are.

[@jeffwertz2953]

Love your videos. You are spot on with every one of these. Great job. I hope more riders will watch these and learn something.

[@temitopeaderogba4522]

Please do more analysis like this in future. I love your knowledge of biking and your factual analysis.

[@dgphi]

The second rider with the truck had a protest mentality. He was so busy protesting, he couldn't focus on what he was doing. Protesting makes you lose focus.

[@Zg_1357]

@moto control, you are thee most awesome aww inspiring motorcycle channel on KZbin... I appreciate everything you do and keeps me inspired to keep riding my baby fun Honda Grom

[@shaun8256]

I've been on both sides of that merging situation, I can say from the cars perspective, they didn't see the bike because they were riding in the blind spot for quite a while, and from the bikes perspective I've had people pull in front of me while I was moving a bit faster than traffic but never had the riding in someone's blind spot happen to me, I've learned at a young age to look in the mirrors of vehicles ahead of me to see if the person driving is really driving or just sitting in a car moving up the roadway! Tickle of advice there look in your mirrors but also look in other people's mirrors!

[@Lizsix60]

Love your videos especially while I’m doing my license rn I can avoid stupid and easy mistakes!!

[@jsilar1]

@Motocontrol, in the first case, you missed the 40 max roadsign at 0:29. Of course you need not go precisely 40, if you know the turn and you are a good rider. But usually this is a very good warning and on a road you are riding the first time the speed limit tends to by be the right speed for me. He was too fast on entry. That is probably the reason he started to behave erraticaly.

[@kungfupro]

We need more videos like this, explaining how to behave in traffic! Motorcyclists may dare to do more than car drivers but we all have our limits! Thank you for the video and the analysis!
