Just chimming into what yammie said... you probably will say... I'll never drop my bike! trust me bro.... you will. you will forget about that corner on the dirt or have a oh shit moment. we have all been there, pick your baby up, appologise to what you have done to her and how you have ashamed her and her beautiful looks, grab all the peices you can and ride on home. learn to plastic weld, get her to looking frankinstien and questionable to cops while you wait for thoose sweet funds to come back into your wallet to renew and restore your baby girl. not a case of if, it's a when. just gunna happen. also if anyone sells you a beginner bike from 2015+ and states it's never been dropped... they are most likely bullshitting you.

I dropped my instructor's bike within 5 minutes. Then, when I got my CBT for a 125cc I dropped that and damaged the tank after 3 weeks, I learned from that one. That was 4 years ago and I haven't dropped one since. I'll probably drop my bike tomorrow now I have said that.

A 30 year old colleague, wearing street clothes and only boots and a helmet tried to do a wheelie at 160 kph yesterday, and he fell. He broke his collar bone, pelvis, 4 ribs, scraped the skin from his back, and is currently in intensive care. I watched how he rode and warned him that at some point he was going to come off hard if he continued to ride his bike like he stole it. He was an accident looking for a place to happen. I'm just happy that he is still alive to hopefully be able to learn from his mistake.

That "you will drop your bike" is definitely true. I low sided my first bike (R3) just under a year after I bought it, it was at like 28mph riding super early in the season. I picked up an Indian Challenger last year, and wouldn't you know it three days after that, I stopped on an odd hill, and it decided it wanted to lay down and take a nap until I was able to muscle it upright.

[@mbeecher9921]

I crashed 1 month after I got my endorsement. 70mph, hi-sided it locking the brakes up to miss a deer. It was super fun (ATGAT), but if I had been in curvies probably would have died.

[@epicfacecanada]

Everything you listed was accurate for me except for number 1 about mods/gear. In fact the opposite was true as I was a broke ass college kid at the time. The bike was a thrashed 80's Honda that I just put new oil in, duct taped the turn signals back on and ran it. For gear I bought the cheapest Full-face helmet the local Canadian Tire had, Used leather jacket, gardener gloves and steel-toe work boots from my dad. Not saying this is at all how you should start riding but that is how I started.

[@LdFarquaad]

Idk about number 4, two years ago (roughly) some guys bike got stolen and he posted on the biker pages on Facebook from my town and I swear I’ve never seen a community or together so fast, people were sending photos from everywhere, eventually found the guy riding to another city on the bike, then the police got him in that city. I was super impressed, maybe nobody cares what make and model you have but if someone steels your bike I feel like you can rely on most other biker to genuinely keep on eye out and maybe even go out of their way to help look.

I’ve dropped my bikes 3 times. The worst was when after about 4 years of riding, had never dropped it and was super confident. Side saddled the bike from the petrol bowser to the air compressor and it went the way I could stop it. On the bright side, a girl asked if I was ok and I made a girl friend out of it. 🤷‍♂️

[@turnpike9680]

I've been riding on and off for 8 years now, got around 6000 miles on the saddle (which is child's play, I know - I do that in two weeks in my semi tanker) - but I have genuinely never dropped or came off my bikes yet. I've had a few close calls from locking the rear brake up in traffic, but I've somehow kept it upright. This fact is not something I'm proud of so much as terrified about. I know it's eventually going to happen and that scares the hell out of me.

[@projectedubcashbandit2193]

Lol I was the same way. My day came when I least expected it the most… in my garage, cranking up the bike Smh. I put my kick stand up, forgot and distributed my weight too far on one side and fell over. I even had to have my sister help me pick the bike back upright.

[@jasonsnagel]

Watch some video on how to pick them up I watched a string bean girl pick up a giant Harley, came in handy I dropped my bike twice in the same week working on it :/ and it’s 550 pounds

[@J_SCH]

I bought a beautiful new 2022 Ninja 400 as a first bike the other week. Passed the MSF that day, and rode the bike 20 miles home on a freeway. It felt great. Then later that day I biffed it when I hit some gravel in the road during a left turn from a stop and scratched the hell out of the right fairing when I dropped it into the curb. I was heartbroken, but realized I was entirely unharmed and the bike still runs. Those little mistakes when you first ride hurt your soul but you feel so much better when you don't let it stop you and keep going. I look forward to the rest of my first year riding, thanks Yammie and other biketubers for helping me get into and finally pull the trigger on a bike, and realize that mistakes happen and they're no big deal. Ride safe, fellas.

Hey that’s what it’s about, the perspective it gives you. Normies will never understand lol👍🏻

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

NO Honda did not make the "worst bike ever"... Anyone who thinks so should get stuck on one. It's an unreliable, badly aged little thing out of Russia from back in the day. Other than it's 200cc's I couldn't read a damn thing about it, including that name... AND it was never really "right"... even though I'm not bad at improvising and I have a few machinists as friends, so parts can be manufactured to spec' on the spot... for a price. After a year, at a loss I'm not proud of, I finally gave up on it ever being "in tune" more than "to the greater degree" and sold it to the first person who squealed delightedly and offered me money for the 'curio'... The brakes were drums, front and rear, and from Russia, they had all the stopping power of a soft cheese... The carburetor was over-complicated, and even with THE BEST filters on the planet, found new and mind-boggling ways to jam or clog. In spite of a new dynamo install by a certified electronics engineer, the spark was dull orange at best, and it took three of us tinkering for two days to even get it in time enough to start and run reliably... AND to top it all, the god damn kick-start could ONLY fit on the shaft one way and was about 10 degrees WRONG for actually being able to kick the son of a bitch... When you suffer about a 40% misfire (no start, but backfires) rate, do you have ANY idea how rough it gets trying to start a 200 cc motorcycle with your HAND in the 90 degree summers in Virginia Beach (so about 110% humidity)??? Hmmm??? THAT was THE worst motorcycle ever built... unless the Russians found a new genius method to make something even worse... I have a thing for "curiosities", even today... BUT I will never own another one of THOSE... AND I still kinda feel bad about selling it instead of just crushing or grinding it into little bitty pieces... Honda's RELIABLE... AND frankly, other than that detail, as long as you're on two wheels, I think you'e got a cool bike. The 84 or 85 Rebel 250 was MY first bike, so I admit a soft spot for them... haha... I even talked my brother into one as HIS first bike, though a different year and NOT carried home in buckets, the way mine was... AND he loves her, too. ;o)

I am 17 and I work 70 hours a week making 15.50 an hour and I decided I wanted a small bike, nothing crazy. When I talked to my parents about it they kinda went ballistic! When I was a kid my father had a friend that was around me for most of my life and was kinda grandfathered in. He was very outgoing and funny, good guy. About a year ago someone ran a red light and hit him on his ninja 400. After months of not talking or moving in the hospital he “recovered”. He now has the mentality of a child and can’t comprehend simple situations. He doesn’t remember me or a lot of other people. It’s quite sad

I hear ya, thats unfortunate that it happened to him. If your gonna ride i just wanna say Always ride like the person beside you infront of you and behind you cannot see you. Don't stick near them because the speed limit.. If they are doing the speed limit when u have a safe situation change lanes and pass. Everytime they are like semi's if ur on a bike literally avoid being in sketchy situations dont ride at night unless u have LED headlights & some glow lights around the frame helps u stand out and get peoples attention.

[@sethamoto9061]

@@maxd8487 I mean if you ride safe enough. You can almost guarantee safety. There is always gonna be that one idiot who doesn't check their mirror or that one gravel patch etc. You can further protect yourself by wearing proper gear. As for the bikes displacement however. You could be completely safe with a literbike as a beginner given you have enough maturity and patience to ride it correctly. Or you could be completely wreckless and die on a 300. It all depends on you and how much you trust yourself to handle. I personally recommend taking a hard look at yourself and asking yourself if you're ready for a 600. If you think thats the case, get a helmet, take a couple msf courses and start looking for bikes. I always like to say its alot more fun to go fast on a slow bike, than go slow on a fast bike. My new R1 is great on the track and highway, but it is a terrible commuter, it gets to about 230⁰ at stoplight and here I am just trying not to melt. Get whatever your comfortable with and don't let your ego convince you to get a bigger bike for reasons other than your own enjoyment. Whatever the case, stay safe out there and use ur noggin.✌️

[@TheSilviu8x]

The old ones are, but the 2022 isn't. The old ones make Benelli 302r, better..

[@oliverfisher6897]

I own a 2019 CBR500r, and personally I love it. It is heavier than other bikes in it’s class. But it’s riding position does give it the best of both being a fully faired bike but also not being uncomfortable with fully dropped handles bars.

[@nkha23]

So true. I'm preparing myself for riding and I've been paying attention to the roads. Memorizing the lunar surface known as Western Mass. Lol and the "Snapple" facts at the end of these videos are so awesome!

[@matthewhaines189]

I have a bit of money “invested” into a CBR500R so here’s the obligatory comment about how good they are. Best bike on earth. More comfortable than a car and they’ll smoke a turbo Busa off the line.

[@Quadrenaro]

I just bought my first bike, a 1975 Suzuki TC185. My insurance is $12 a month with full coverage, tag is $30 a year, and I've only gassed up the 2 gallon tank one time in the 70 miles I'm into. I dropped my bike the other day while backing it out my back patio. I tipped it a bit too far one way while I only had one hand on it. I managed to get a second hand on it as it tipped. It slowly went down, so it wasn't too bad.

[@drdoctor2362]

Yammie I've had my bike for about 3 and a half weeks and everything that you've said is very very scarily accurate

[@julianmazery2157]

Yo. Thanks for these videos. Appreciate the time and humour. I'm amping myself up to get a Husky. Love the look of that bike. Super nervous to make the move...Lots of peeps are saying its too dangerous...But your videos keep me stoked on getting a bike. Keep em coming.

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

Older riders that happened to have my bike when they were young are the only ones that cared about my bike. '86 Honda Shadow. This list is spot on for my first 11 months of riding

[@alvaromurillo9576]

29yo and ridding since I was 21, was out of bikes for a few years now I’m back and finally got my dream bike Vitpilen 701 and your channel motivates me to keep riding till the end of expensive gas prices 🤣

[@corbinherrera4337]

I saw one of your videos where you merged onto the 183 toll road and was like HOLLY F*** that's 183! That's when I realized we live right down the road from each other because a few days later I saw you merging onto the highway from brushy creek. I would love to meet you dude! I have a 82' yamaha xj650 in perfect condition and it's beautiful - i'd love for you to see it!

[@6.0.1breacher2]

Just started riding last Saturday on a Honda shadow 1100 spirit! Love being on two wheels!

[@adamgoldberg5693]

Gonna flex real quick, first bike was a Street Triple 675, that was 2019. Now I ride a Speed Triple 1050 any chance I get. Never laid my bikes down, only scratch that wasn't there when I got it was 3 days after I got the Street. Dude backed into it where it was parked, knocked it over. Just left side turn signals and front rotors were unspared

[@_NewVirtualAddict_]

8:19 I have crashed a few days ago with a ninja 250r. Nothing bad just some scratches on the right side but that you are showing me now a picture of an right side, scratched 250r even in black as well...like BRO xD

[@goldguy8goldguy8goldguy8]

Just bought a gs450ez this month. Halfway through the motorcycle training course for a license 😎

[@traviscrumbey7969]

I actually went to this wildlife rescue facility once, and they had a gift shop with a raven that would repeat back what you said, way more fun than you would ever expect

[@t.mendous7922]

Talking of upgrading your bike, I went from a 49cc Honda Ruckus to a Kawasaki KLX 650. Had the first for 5 years and loved it, but it just started feeling too slow

[@joelsewpershad3376]

Just bought a G310 GS 2022. Needed this video, already experienced a few of these.

[@tylermonk3130]

I just got my first motorcycle ever a 2022 HD iron 883 can’t wait to start getting on the road 🔥

[@olivierflash17]

Incredible how a KZbin video with 10 times the same 5 video loops can be fun and interesting. Cheers!

[@tylertowell4108]

6:45 Iwould ride 5th gear pinned sometimes on trails for dirt bikes and my buddy tried my bike out and got himself an xr200. Told me he'd never be crazy and do full throttle cuz he wanted to be safe. Flash forward 3 or 4 rides man's pinned going faster than me xD

[@Fmontes]

Hey, you're riding in one of my favorite areas - Corral Canyon! Not sure how long you're here for, but if you want to hit up some other spots around San Diego let me know.

[@Chasing_7thgear]

Thanks for the help with this channel. Getting my first bike in 2 weeks!!!

[@crater2277]

Th dropping bike thing is so true. I have been riding dirt bikes since I was like 6. Im 17 now and still drop my dirt bike. I’m getting a bike next year so hopefully I enjoy the biker world.

[@russ4454]

I really enjoy the end but of keep watching Tammy noob. Don’t stop

[@Benjamin-qw3dd]

Me as a young rider LOVE these videos, they make me die laughing and just make my love for bikes bigger

[@rotorhead5000]

As a dedicated dirt squid, dropping/dumping your bike on a daily basis is pretty much just part of life, it becomes amusing after a while, and you learn something each time

[@lemuelvillaflores9147]

I've been watching your videos for over a year now. This channel pushed me to buy I bike even though I am just new to riding one. I wanted to risk for that feeling of freedom. I dropped my bike a lot and nearly crashed but I will to ride is unchanging. 😁😅

[@jasonprevilon9555]

It's a good bike. Cbr500r are for bigger dudes who just need the space without the oodles of power. Sometimes slower is more appropriate.

[@d3v1n-06]

Been driving a 400 ninja for 3 years as my only vehicle. Finally about to upgrade to a bigger bike. Think I'm gonna get a cruiser though. My advice. If you can afford it and if it's gonna be your only vehicle I'd recommend getting a cruiser. Love my ninja but traded with a friend for his Vulcan and have longed for that bit of comfort for my work commute. Plus windscreen for winter.

[@youmeetmeac]

I bought a cruiser after parting with a gsxr 600. My commute is twice as nice, and it's really expanded the distance I could go. 45 mins on the gsxr before getting uncomfortable, compared to 4+ hours 👍

[@aaron-crokmay]

I just picked up a electric motorcycle for motorcycle for my 1st one actually the other day and it is amazing I love the feeling of being out on the road

[@robbiephillips1357]

Just got a brand new LTD rs660 and have been loving every second of it

[@LauraLasan69]

Honda cb350rs is my first bike. I love her so much i think i will keep her forever and customise the whole heck of a lot. Scrambler, caferacer

[@dwdlouch2004]

Love the vids man booking my cbt now (I’m in the Uk) can’t wait for my little 125

[@joshuaprentice5283]

Thank you for the ending song. It was really inspirational

[@deliode1211]

Bought a brand new 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 and within 6 months it has been dropped twice. Luckily not much body damage but it was caused by a new rider (passenger) and a unproperly paved driveway and someone knocking into it. Luckily my Grandfather had been riding for years and calmed me for the minor scratches I have on the bike I known I can ride (solo). Already replacing the dinged up parts. 1 year with it now.

[@brucefaulkner8393]

I watched my dad drop his Harley Davidson street glide the first time he brought it up in the driveway. Number 6 reminded me of it

[@luciamurillo7258]

I’ll ride my 2020 Kawasaki Versys-X 300 till the engine fails. I love the dual sport action it provides with the Continental 70 and Continental rocks tires.

[@slothmarathonpromotions2470]

I have one as well. Great dependable bike. I love it but I don’t really like that on the highway you have to be at like 10k rpm’s to do 75 mph. Thinking about getting a second bike for that reason and just keeping the X-300 for around town and trails.

[@jonathanbartlett2147]

I've been riding about 4 months now and have loved every second of it even the sketchy ones 😅

[@zz-ic6dx]

i got my msf course in july (earliest i could do it) then gonna get my first bike I am so excited i just watch motorcycle vids on youtube all day hyping myself up

[@jonathanbartlett2147]

@@zz-ic6dx it's awesome just be careful and be aware of what's going on around you because some people really don't pay attention to you on a bike.Always be thinking of an exit if need be.Ive already had a couple close calls where I've needed to manuever around cars pulling out in front of me and objects to keep from hurting myself.

[@dimitrisloufakis916]

Regarding the comment at the beginning of the video (0:20) I just wanted to ask what's the issue with the Honda cb500r. I'm getting a bike soon enough, and my primary candidate is a Honda cb500f. I thought it has highly thought of. Am I wrong here? Please let me know

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

my first year of riding was 1996... I was 6 years old on a 79 Honda QA50. only gear I've ever had is a helmet, and iv broken several bones before I was 16 but I love dirt bikes more than anything

[@jasonprevilon9555]

I was in accident and totalled my CBR500R, so I had to upgrade to my CrF1100L (ATAS). I had it for 3 years, but didn't put more than 2k miles on it.

[@TJDukit1]

Only thing I haven’t done YET is drop the damn thing, still not quite a year out and most of that was winter and surgery recovery so there still plenty of time.
