[@noname2226]

Got my first bike 3 weeks ago and headed to work I was going 60mph around corners I normally take at 45mph.. Being loose and trusting the bike makes riding smooth so much faster. Didnt realise I was going that much faster until I looked down. On the way back from work at 5:30 in the morning I was stiff and chilly... Totally different ride

Number 3 happened to me once. My friend wanted me to ride with him so I did. It was about a 2hr ride and 15mins up I just kept having a bad feeling and felt like that day was just not my day. I kept thinking about crashing and dying for some reason. I pulled over and let him know that today was just not my day. I ended up just riding back home (15min ride) and staying home.

Don't be afraid to add a bit more speed (as beginners usualy drive too slow loosing inertion for proper cornering) 5. Drag a rear brake (to make slow speed maneuver really stable) 4. Learn a bunch of special skills ( practice, pivoting/turning bike on bike stand, skidding,...) 3. Listen to your gut (as a superstitions sometimes come true so why test fate that day) 2.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #3! That was a lesson I learned the hard way. I'd blown off riding to work the day before; since there was another nice day on tap, I was set on riding and not blowing another beautiful, September day. My little voice told me not to take the bike though. On my way to work, the sun blinded me; I got in to a turn too hot, and ended up crashing. I was all right, but my bike wasn't. Moral of the story: LISTEN to your little voice!

[@samanthalogan3099]

I am from Wyoming. Born and raised in Cheyenne. I can indeed state, there are DEFINITELY more than 2 escalators. One in the convention center in Casper Wyoming, one installed in the natural history museum in Laramie, and one in a federal building, also in Casper. I cannot bring to mind a 4th.

Broke a few bones, but definitely could have been way way worse, and very easily too.

[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

The simple reason to not ride if something just feels off is that by having that on your mind you're already distracted by those thoughts making you more likely to make a mistake. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, by stressing you're only making bad stuff more likely to happen

[@docp9956]

Another great tip is to WEAR EARPLUGS. Not only does it help save your hearing but it can also seriously improve your confidence and your riding performance by removing distractions, and if you use a Cardo or Sena device you can still easily hear the music. I have no affiliation with them, but personally I use Surefire EP-7 or EP-10 earplugs. They are reusable, last about 6 months, and have a convenient little carry case- all for about $25 per set.

[@prissy1230]

I respectfully disagree with your ear plugs suggestion. Using earplugs or a helmet with Bluetooth (for music) shuts your warning system down of what's going on around you; a car or bike coming up on you too quickly so you can evade...emergency vehicle coming up behind you...skidding of other vehicles...etc. On 2 wheels, incognizance can get you killed due to loss of your main senses of sight, hearing and feeling. If your exhaust is that loud to deafen you, baffle it or get a quieter one.

[@stinkenderotter1593]

@@prissy1230 well its the wind over 20 years of riding that will get you tinnitus and not the exhaust..

[@AuRowe]

@@prissy1230 You ever see the movies about people that are blind but super hearers or deaf but have super-sight. I know I've seen one but I think its principally true. You gain some added protection but I think the comfort and indoors feeling of earplugs can add a hyper-awareness.

[@jordanhart9708]

I've been eyeballing Etymotic Research ER20XS. Universal fit is $25, comes with two different size triple flange and a foam tip, comes with a carrying case, don't cut out so much noise that you can't have a conversation, and usually has a coupon on Amazon

[@RobbieBussard]

@@prissy1230 I ride a sportbike with a stock (read:quiet) exhaust and can still hear horns, skidding cars, and other concerns. If I couldn't, I wouldn't make the suggestion. As far as cars coming up behind me, that is what mirrors are for. Earplugs, especially in noisy environments (most horns are 80+ dB and air noise in your helmet at freeway speeds is about the same) will not deafen you; they simply deaden sound according to the NRR rating of the plug. SureFire offers the EP3 and EP4 series of plugs, too, which offer lower amounts of noise reduction so you can hear better in quiet environments. Please actually try this for yourself and understand the context and the usability of the application before you tell me I'm wrong. Thanks.

Rule #3 is crucially brutal.

6:40 I will have to tell you that you're wrong about the Grom I started with the Grom and from there went to an R7 the only thing that is different is one is bigger, heavier, and faster of course and the other one is smaller, lighter, and slower. With the Grom I learned my friction zone, throttle control, counter steering, turning, shifting and everything on the Grom. I just transferred what I learned on there to the R7 and extra practice getting use to the bike and no problems on my end. Practicing in neighborhoods with the Grom you will need to know throttle control. Grom's can go 60+ that's plenty in the real world scenario.

@yammie noob, great! You amazed me with the universe signs hehe, they are real and that's totally a protection from serious accidents(or wrong choices). Great tips😃✌️

[@kirmax490]

Loved this video, especially the Brad Binder mention 😂😂

[@BlendedFamilyMan]

You got my subscription with that Wyoming escalator fact.

[@MladenMijatov]

I picked the Suzuki team, although Intruder M800 was the only model I liked when it came to cruisers. :D And I absolutely don't care if others hate on me. Bike looks awesome.

[@dannyzukko8916]

O k i'm definitely giving some credit here. This is the most funniest video i've seen you are awesome , sir , you made my day.😅😂😂

[@gearblazer]

great tips. really love the jokes.. and the teasing of the expert bike every now and then 😝😉

[@bballkid7409]

Was planning on buying a bike this week but day 2 of my damn MSF was rained out because of hurricane henri, now have to wait 2 weeks

[@grenzviel4480]

actually, I do look on my dash while driving a car. Me personally on a bike, I look at the tachometer more than my speedometer because I like to maintain at the revs that my bike is rated to be the most efficient at and where the power of my bike is just in case I need to pass or whatever.

Get yammie this early, dang, what am I supposed to watch at work now? Right...more yammie videos.

[@MultiRANDOM117]

Love your videos. Long time viewer and after many years of anticipation I finally picked up my first bike today. Got a duke 390! Love the bike so much. I feel very attacked by your Pokémon go comment.

[@silasgoetz5886]

Great video 🤝 and W fact at the end as someone from Wyoming.

[@BadazzShovelhead]

Another great video- Something didn't feel right/intuition is a real thing. I tell the guys that work for me that your senses and brain work together all the time and you are constantly collecting information. So if something doesn't look right and there is a danger feeling heed that because it is often your senses and brain working together to hook you up. Stupid example: Yesterday, you casually heard someone say it is probably going to rain tomorrow. You haven't seen the weather or whatever but your brain is telling you that today may be less safe. My guy is in a small North eastern town in Nigeria questioning someone and he notices people going inside during the cooler part of the day which is not normal. Bad guys might be coming.

I’m a noob and I love this channel. I even love the scandalous sponser plugs! This is some fun you-tube🤪

[@frankiemaracle6596]

Especially in Toronto Canada, where we have sneaky traffic cams that nail you for a digital ticket for doing 43km/hr on a 40km, so on my Ninja 400 0 to illegal happens real fast. So a quick dash check is good, imo.

[@dosa5624]

The gsxr600 slander is funny, just got mine last week it’s my first ever bike super fun

[@purpleduster20]

Keep up these gebinner videos👍

[@codyelrod6811]

Not goin to lie my first ever motorcycle was a 2007 gsxr 600 and i absolutely fell inlove with it 150 in 3rd gear i feel like it was a perfect bike for my style of riding the key to riding ANY bike is you need to be a little affraid of it cause yes it can and will kill you if you dont respect the power sittin between your legs because its not the fall that kills you it the sudden stop at the end

[@kieran8720]

Crashed a bike a few weeks ago, and yep lol. I didn't feel right before leaving, and had a weird turn right before the turn that put me off the road and into the ditch 😂

[@M3thodbombz]

No more monday blues for me. Thanks Papa Yam.

[@mr.h.8363]

I give you an A+ on how you slid the "Manscape" advertisement in the video!

[@heavenswarrior26]

Totally agree with Kenan, as a professional truck driver you are taught to be aware of your gauges so you know what is going on with you vehicle.

[@edigonzalez8791]

You guys make great content

I brought a Ducati 1299s two days ago and when I went to see the bike in the morning and I saw a big accident on I95 N involving a motorcycle, the man was lying down on the highway with a white blanket covering him, I told myself that’s gotta be a sign but I still got the bike
