Holy crap dude I just found this video and thought "wow this place looks really familiar" then I realized it's exactly where I live lmaooooo. Have fun with the new bike man.

[@modez90]

Now that's epic bro... 😂🙌🏼😎

[@9LyFez]

I plan on getting a bike soon and these videos are getting me excited I have like no experience. Good job dude

[@skorshooters9352]

I just got mine with my only experience being the 2 day course, it's been amazing you definitely won't regret it

[@Igleaz]

Hey man just looking out for you, its best if you do a little jump cut from your house to the main road instead of showing us the house and the turns to get there after all we are all strangers here not everyone will have good intentions but keep it up man rooting for you 🤙

[@Jack-rj3bx]

You've improved a fair bit since your last upload! Since you're basically self teaching here are just a few bits of advice that might be helpful as you get more confident :) When you're turning or taking a corner always look at the exit point aka where you want the bike to go, it feels weird at first but it does help! Try not to keep your fingers on the clutch and break levers too, it can end badly but more importantly you'll put some janky strain on the wrist. This is so awesome to see though, keep up the awesome work and stay safe brother!

[@sehvehn7955]

Damnnnn my dude. Can already see you've gotten better. Hellyeah! I'm jealous you can ride xD I'm stuck in the ocean right now. Hope to see more!

[@Keithjames153]

What u doing in the ocean brother??

[@uchihasAlan]

You’ve progressed a lot since the first video. You’re doing good. I think everyone should take the msf course to be as knowledgeable as possible, but to each their own. Just a friendly tip, you’re supposed to fluctuate your RPMs for the break in period. Don’t stay at the same RPM for too long. Constantly shift up and back down or down and back up while maintaining the same speed.

[@cameronhicks5225]

Honestly, well said. It feels cool to make the sign, to be part of the worldwide group of knuckleheads that choose two wheels over two. I'm right there with you man, keep it up! Yes, everything can kill you. But, you have great habits and are a very cautious and safe driver. Keep practicing and you will be comfy in no time!!

[@DiagolonRider]

i just got those exact boots and gloves for the track... while they're sweet boots, i have no idea why they'd put the velcro on the inside i find it catches on my rear sets sometimes... and my first couple rides i kept missing 2nd gear like you were doing in your first video. they're more broken in and I'm more used to them now so all good. i started out last year on a 2005 Honda CBR600rr and i remember thinking "damn, 20mph feels so fast!" lol. takes a bit for your brain to adjust to the speed... now 160mph feels slow... weird how that works lol. tip for launching in 1st gear, you can be slightly more aggressive on the throttle as you feel the clutch start to bite. doing great so far!

[@jessicaturner2890]

As an on and off rider for 17 years only do what you are comfortable with! Don't let other riders influence you. Don't. Thats how accidents happen. Only do what you know you are capable of doing with your own limits. My first ride ever I was on a 2005 hyabusa and it almost deterred me from riding period but I kept going. The other riders made fun of me for several years but I didn't care...still don't. I still don't peg my bike out I ride for the enjoyment not for the recklessness. Hope you have good rides and fall in love like I did.

[@jessicaturner2890]

One thing I forgot to add to the bullying that can be the bike community can be. One thing I have learned sadly and with an extremely heavy heart is that most of the people who made fun of me and tried to bully me didn't make it out of their 20's. They were scraped off the roadway. I don't say that to be non chalant but it's the truth. I'm 37 and there is only 3 of us left this day out of the 77 of us that rode. So my man please be cautious and drive for everyone on the road not just yourself. Especially also if you are riding with other bikers ride for them 2. Seen 4 die on the highway because they were being careless. Not trying to scare you just giving you the info. 2 wheels down and safe travels?!

[@shutinyanks]

I can't believe just how flat the roads are there compared to the UK especially where i live its hill after hill after hill really tests you on that smooth clutch and hill starts

[@BashJP]

Just depends where in the US you’re from. I’m from Pennsylvania and bc of all the mountains we have lots of hills, even down here in Philly.

[@user-bh6qp9ui9q]

beautiful bike one has here but keep a close eye on it just had my 2nd bike 2019 Ninja 400ABS stolen from a supposedly secured place where I kept it. bike had only 288 original miles on it bought brand new wishing you much better luck than I had 2nd stolen bike in 7 years 1st bike also stolen from a supposedly secured place. thank you

[@Voltomess]

Don't afraid to give it more rev when start from 1st gear you won't fly or do a wheelie because bike is too weak but at least you won't stall it. Now give me link to gloves and boots please 😁😁 oh and FU for that smooth operator now I got this stupid song in my head 🤣🤣

[@TstatusTV]

Gloves: Alpinestars SP 8 Boots: Alpinestars smx6 V2

[@jackdo5152]

yo i just got a 400 this gives me exoerunce without riding this lit

[@carolmiller8612]

just to be safe.u dont want to be directly behind a car at a stop .offset the motorcycle when u r behind a car at a stop .so u dont get crushed .

[@Nitzuls]

practice good night sleep and the next day feels better

[@FranciscoNull]

I have a quick question (curiosity) in america do yall need to take a course before getting your bike licence ? Or not ? Its cuz i see so many people online starting to ride with license but they dont know anything abouth how to ride

[@TstatusTV]

You don't have to. You just need to pass a written test and then a skills test on the bike.

[@FranciscoNull]

@@TstatusTV thats crazy I wish it was like that in my country 😥

[@NoFrictionZone]

Just for clarification, I understand (sorta) no taking it, but are you licensed? If something happens you could have legal complications. Best of luck with your journey.

[@TstatusTV]

I have a learners permit

[@sriavula]

we have same gloves

[@Dsynced_]

Good job dude definitely saw the confidence increase in this video

[@user-rl4ow4kh1s]

NO NO NO! Do not promote this guy who will not take the safety class. He needs to take it. This is not a smart way to start riding. Need to take the safety class. If he has get into a bad situation, even at the slow speeds he is nervous about riding in, he will not know how to properly react. The safety class will teach him. Never promote this kind of of unsafe rider.

[@crossley2381]

@@user-rl4ow4kh1s People learn their own way. Never took the course either and best way to really learn is through real life experience. No class can prepare you for real world riding.

[@Legendary-Ant]

​@@user-rl4ow4kh1s Relax my guy he is on a learners permit self teaching he is completely legal i have done the Same i have renew my permit 3 times in my area has been super full always and with work was hard to schedule it but ive got good riding a motorcycle in those 3 years i go to MSF course next week but i dont feel there is something wrong with what he is doing Just practice and watch videos for tips to self teach

[@phrostbyte8260]

Just wanted to mention you need to turn up your microphone some, can barely hear you with headphones on. lol

[@user-rl4ow4kh1s]

Why no MSF? I took the class and it's great! I highly recommend you take it.

[@TstatusTV]

I would like to but my work schedule is always during the only time slots available in my area :(

[@TstatusTV]

Also the last time I checked, back in March, the next available couse was the end of July.

[@johncollins3910]

@@TstatusTV I to have issues with the schedule for a corse in my area. I was able to contact one of the instructors and hire him to do private lessons out side of the official safety corse. It will not show up as I took the corse but I will learn the basic fundamentals required to pass the state test. I contacted him on Tuesday and I will get one on one with him on Monday. Its also much cheaper then the MFS corse. I just have to furnish my own bike. This maybe an option for you if you feel like you really need coaching from a professional instructor.

[@user-rl4ow4kh1s]

@@TstatusTV Then don't rush riding until you can. Seriously, some of the stuff I am seeing here is scary! Take your time to be safe.

[@deythal]

Very nice job (i have the same bike as you) just a piece of feedback you should be shifting to second at 6k RPM, 3rd at 7k so on and so forth for the 1st 1000km

[@deythal]

also if you want to get rid of that jerky downshift, blip your throttle (when you are still moving ease off the throttle and pull the clutch in like you normally do to downshift BUT at the exact time that you tap down on the gear shifter give the throttle a very quick pull.) you wont lurch or shoot forward its just rev matching the engine

[@deythal]

also don't worry about stalling we've all been there

[@TstatusTV]

Thanks for the tips!

[@MegaRomans01]

Not trying to be a hater but Dog no more excuses . . . you keep saying in other comments you can't go to a msf cuz work schedule . . . All you have to do is take a couple of days off dude. . . If you can afford a new bike than afford the time off. . . Also, if class is full in your area. Than look outside of your area and travel. . . .that's if you can't wait for msf in your area or maybe you could have scheduled it earlier and had planning. . . so you can legally ride like an adult . . . Also you prob should rethink hopping on a motorcycle at this point in your life cuz imo if you are not mature enough to even get past the basic paperwork and requirements to ride it . . .well you shouldn't. . . Thats why they are requirements. . . At the end of the day you do you.. . everything could go great. . . But you are asking to get smashed you like a bug if something happens . . . And things do happen. . . All the time.

[@TstatusTV]

Can't take a couple days off in my line of work unfortunately

[@nathanlytle6191]

Hop off his nuts... he has stated in other comments that he has his permit so he is legal. The MSF class is not a requirement

[@sheluvsxplr]

first viewer and first comment!! youre doing so good, i love your content

[@user-rl4ow4kh1s]

NO! He needs to take the safety class. He's nervous at 35 MPH for gosh sake! He would learn to be a safe rider if he took the class.

[@sheluvsxplr]

@@user-rl4ow4kh1s calm tf down bru-

[@user-rl4ow4kh1s]

@@sheluvsxplr NO! He needs to ride safe so that he doesn't get hurt or hurt someone else. I am sick of new riders that don't think they need to take the safety class. The are dangerous to the rest of is. Take the f-ing class. Learn how to get out of tough situations. You stick up for him now, but what are you going to say if he wrecks? You still think that's cool? No way!

[@sheluvsxplr]

@@user-rl4ow4kh1s why are you even mad anyways💀. if he doesnt want to take the msf class then he doesnt have to. he could be learning how to ride and THEN taking the class but theres no right to be so fucking aggressive js because he wont take the msf corse. learn some manners before being so fucking aggressive. it ain't that deep💀

[@johncollins3910]

@@user-rl4ow4kh1s Yes because the 100s of millions of riders before the safety class was even around for the last 100+ years motor cycles been on the road were all unsafe and No one that has ever took the class has ever had an accident or been killed after the corse. Maybe the class does not fit in to his schedule. I know in my area all the classes for the area are booked for the summer before the riding season even starts. While I don't disagree it is a good idea to take a safety coarse. I don't think its the only way to become a safe rider. Countless people have learned how to ride the exact way he is learning. And to sit there and tell this man that he's an unsafe rider just BECAUSE he has not took some corse is BS.

[@ariesmarsexpress]

What would be the point exactly of purposely not taking the MSF? And I am assuming that means that you are also purposely not learning slow speed maneuvers? I don't know if you are really as new as you say, or you are just look for views, but if you are really as new as you say, you should definitely take the MSF. The odds of you staying alive over the next few months will increase and might save an insurance claim on your bike.

[@TstatusTV]

I can't take the class because of my work schedule. Also I really am as new as I say lol.

[@TstatusTV]

I'll be working on low speed maneuvers soon as well. I have to to get my full license.

[@ariesmarsexpress]

@@TstatusTV Then I heavily suggests you download the exercises from somewhere and get off the roads because you do not have skills to be there and you will get yourself badly hurt to dead without them. Any school parking lot on Sunday will work. Anyone can ride a bike while everything is going well, in fact I have seen many bikes ride themselves, but the second something happens you are not ready for and have not repeatedly trained for happens, you are going to have to rely on muscle memories you don't have which means in most cases running smack into another vehicle or just running off the road in a curve. Moto Control has an excellent downloadable very inexpensive course with accompanying video. That is an excellent place to start.

sorry x2 😁

[@phxmiller]

All there is in the comment section is a bunch of unsolicited advice. One thing I hate is unsolicited advice from arrogant people who hide behind the “i’m just looking out for you” phrase. Stop acting like you care. You just need a way to feel superior and all knowing. I ignore all advice (unless I ask for it) because it’s disingenuous, especially from people on the internet. Great video!

[@TstatusTV]

It's actually no problem I appreciate the advice and those that go out of their way to give it.

[@Mochaloves_]

sorry
