Don't forget that motorcycles can come almost to a complete stop without activating their brake lights. This confuses cars

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

It's why it's a good habit to "stick some toe in it" every time you take a curve... just to turn the brake light on for the idiot behind you. You can always add pressure if you're going a little wide and "shore it up" as it were... BUT just kicking the light on helps avoid some morons running right up your ass... usually. ;o)

[@poorlittlebiker6476]

As a truck driver and rider myself, I can’t tell you how many times a motorcyclist has been in my trucks blind spot and I was able to hear the bikes exhaust and never even realize a bike was there until the sound hit. Not saying loud pipes saves lives but it does help to an extent of letting a riders presence be known. And as for swapping my feet up while at an intersection, I’m definitely no noob but when I know I’m at a light that just turned red or I just know will take forever to turn green, I much rather let my left hand rest from holding a heavy clutch and see the traffic patterns to know when my light will turn green and then get my limbs in the right places before the light turns green. 😉

[@brucebaughman3283]

My last bike was loud and when coming by people I would see them either look over their shoulder or check the mirror. I never sit in a blind spot. My current bike is fairly quiet and I almost never see anyone respond at all when I am coming by. I would say I have about 90% more people coming in my lane know than when I had the loud pipes. People are free to believe what they want but I put 70,000 miles on my last bike and now at 52,000 on my quiet 2018. Huge difference in how many people don't see of hear me and try to run me over.

[@tonydandrea4774]

I have to disagree with switching feet while stopped being noob (sometimes). Sometimes it's nice putting it in neutral and relaxing if you know the light will be long. I've been doing it for 12 years at the occasional long stop light. Great video though!

[@bradleypolotto5193]

I agree. I hate sitting at a long light holding onto my clutch. Doesn't make me a noob because I like to switch to neutral at a light.

[@LethalShadow]

Yep I was going to write the same thing. There are some lights around these parts that are notoriously long, and anytime I stop at those, I pop into neutral and sit back because I know I'm going to be there for several minutes (and longer if pedestrians use the buttons to cross).

[@zoranj.9420]

we have timers on stop lights so you know exactly how long you can chill there in neutral (also great to see how long is green going to be when zooming through intersection, adds a lot of safety to "I can make it")

[@alexanderjanke1538]

Sometimes? Well, so i put my bike nearly every time in neutral. I mean, i put it in it, so i know thats in neutral, so i dont keep forgetting it to put it in first gear to drive off. In my opinion only noobs use the clutch the whole time the light is red. Why should i waste energy in holding the clutch, when i simply can put in neutral? If youre so insecure about using the clutch and gears of your bike properly then keep holding the clutch, yes, so its easier for you to take off, but when you know your bike wll, just put in neutral. It makes the day way easier and relaxing

[@Jqxhl3]

@@alexanderjanke1538 Actually if you downshift to first gear BEFORE stopping you won’t forget it to drive off. I essentially stay in first gear with clutch in and right foot on the brakes so I can react to any situation. And if I know the light will take some time before turning green I switch to neutral before stopping too so I never have to take my right foot off the brakes (yup, not even to go back in first, if you’re quick enough you can put the first gear while keeping your right foot on the bike 😄)

Yesterday I was coming down a highway in California and came up on a construction zone I can see that the stoped cars extended a long ways, there was a flagman up there I stopped to wait after a few more minutes I realized that I was no longer sweating the outside temperature was 110 degrees in the shade. I know what that means I was dehydrated and in danger of having a heat stroke very soon so I filtered past all those cars and went up there and told the flagman the situation he provided me with water and told me to take position in the front of the line of cars while I was filtering up there a few cars honk horns one person tried to hit me with his car door.

[@aaronw8606]

On #5, you forgot being bored at a long light or getting in a quick leg stretch. That's the two reasons why I do it.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

You're right about the leg stretch at stop lights. Some bikes have a person's legs a bit cramped and it's great to get both down at a light for a minute. My reason in a lot of cases is my wife being on the back and if she wiggles the wrong way to get comfortable we could be on the pavement if I'm sitting there with my foot on the back brake.

[@RidedarkFc]

Also, my bike weighs 800 lbs and sometimes I’m a bit lazy and I have issues with my left leg

One more reason: when the red light is long, sometimes i stop using both brakes and put down my left foot, then to switch to neutral, put down the right. Then put both feet on the ground.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Same, if it's a long light I'll sometimes shift back and fourth to rest. Or sometimes I'll put both feet on the ground and stand up, straddling the bike, because my ass hurts. Won't do this for brief stops, but if I know I'll be sitting at that particular light for a while.

[@JustinCglass]

Gotta shake them legs out sometimes

[@BikeStandByMe]

I’ve been riding for 45+ years and ride like no one can see me and everyone is trying to run over me. As for stop signs and putting it in neutral that’s to save wear and tear on you clutch system. With today’s 8 way traffic lights you can be holding your clutch in for a very long time so putting it in neutral is more of a anti wear maneuver than a newbie maneuver to me. And yes, always wear your helmet and protective gear.

[@joemann7971]

motorcycles clutches don't wear out by holding them since they are submerged in oil. Your hand might get tired but the clutch is fine. I even hold the clutch on my manual car and those are dry and the wear and tear is pretty negligible. Certainly not worth risking your safety, but if you can be reasonably confident that you won't get rear ended, then sure, I guess. You'll just be a sitting duck if the car behind you doesn't stop. You'll never get it in gear on time.

[@BikeStandByMe]

@@joemann7971 are you a motorcycle mechanic? My clutch is hydraulic, so no cable. And holding it on for extended periods of time just puts un needed strain on it including the release mechanism. Have you ever had a hydraulic clutch bleed down and start engaging the clutch at a stop? And I’ve been riding and working on bikes for 46 years and have never had an accident with a car involved. You have to ride like no one can see you and everyone is trying to run over you, trust no one. Thanks for the concern but I think I’ll be ok.

[@joemann7971]

@@BikeStandByMe so, do you also not hold the brakes during a stop because of unnecessary wear? Brakes are hydraulic too. Just seems silly to avoid doing things for safety just because they've never happened before. That's a similar mentality as the guy that doesn't wear a helmet because he's never crashed of before. While its not as severe, its still a pretty big risk. If anything, hydraulic clutch should be less wear since you don't have metal cable that stretches over time. I always stop in gear, right foot on rear brake, look for cross traffic and take off as soon as the light turns green. I put my safety in own hands, not in the hands of other drivers. For all I know, you've just been lucky for the last 45 years. Luck can eventually run out.

[@BikeStandByMe]

[@Mcboogler]

If I've been riding in heavy stop-and-go traffic for a couple hours, I have been known to do the foot swap. Come to a stop in neutral, Left foot down, right on brake, both hands down to get some extra blood flow. Then swap to get into gear. Gotta give my clutch squeezin' a break sometimes.

[@bigbonede6201]

Loud exhaust is actually helpful. Has saved my ass a few times. Also sometimes it's nice to relax the clutch hand especially in a congested city

[@FrankstaPasta]

Omg the foot switching 😂 I always think the car behind must wonder wtf I'm doing. Glad I've got into the rhythm of it now but I'm caught in neutral every so often at larger junctions and I do the little dance dance

Thanks again for differentiating between splitting and filtering, we need to normalize that in the US.

[@petjaruppert3507]

I get your idea, but honestly, if I'm going out riding, trust me I'll wear my leather 2 piece (and ofc a good helmet as always). Not because I want to drag my knee (that and excessive speeding is in my opinion for the track), but because if god forbid I'll drop the bike and slide, I want to have something that protects me, and allows me to do that. Plus leather is not going to flap all over you in the wind. But sure I guess it's preference at this point, /w this tech going into gear. Cheers!

[@matthewmaxwell-burton4549]

I can't agree more. If you do fall off, most of the time the gear will separate at the waist and you'll get terrible burns. The skin graft kind. Happened to a couple pals of mine. I ride in a two part leather suit that zips across the middle so stays together. Plus in the UK and France, it's considered good driving to touch the knee if you respect the speed limit. Because you are keeping the bike in a safer position (higher tire/road contact).

I greeted him at the door, and mentioned I assumed he was coming in for apparel. When he asked why I said that, I pointed out that I figured he would rather pay the money for a good pair of riding pants then the time, money and pain of having his legs rebuilt just to find out he'd never ride again.

There is a reason only 1-Piece (an some 2-Piece) Leathers get an CE Level AAA certification, at least I have not found a textile suit with AAA. Also a good fitting 1-piece, which has been broken in, is NOT restrictive at all, it fits like a comfy second skin. Not to mention there is a huge range of different cuts, which go from "pre-bend-like-hell" to "sleeping suite comfy". I do not care if other people think I look like a cringy powerranger, I want to have the best protection and 1-Piece leathers offer this, which is a fact.

I wear a Dainese 2 piece leather suit most of the time because I ride hard and if I go down at full speed I'm going to need that extra slide protection. I also have a full mesh gear set for when it's so hot in Texas I'll die of heat stroke before I leave the driveway. I ride a little slower wearing that but not much. I'll occasionally ride with no gear at all but that's short casual trips which are pretty safe considering how I normally ride. I find it absurd for anyone to advocate not wearing the best protection on the road. If you have a problem with people riding hard on the streets that's fine. To each his own. But acting as if it's a noob move instead of a smart move by an insane rider is ridiculous.

Bikes have been my main form of transport for most of my adult life and I've never given a monkey's cuss for what other people think of me or how I ride. But to dismiss the best protection because some people treat the road like a racetrack in them is patently absurd. I must say that your videos have been becoming increasingly idiotic of late (that is why I unsubscribed a while back) and this sort of idiotic comment just exemplifies it. What? you'd prefer people to wear shorts and a T-shirt because that will make them feel more vulnerable? Could that be because they ARE more F**king vulnerable? Motorcyclists are something in the region of 90% more likely to be involved in a vehicle on vehicle incident, and over 75% of that time the other road user is primarily at fault.

I will often put the bike in neutral, not because I am a noob, but because of arthritis in my hands. Also, I have a high bike, so different feet down, depending on the slope of the road, or dips in the road next to the bike. Sometimes I do leave the bike in gear at the lights, sometimes not. You really can't tell the experience of rider by how they stop. More so by how they take off, if you get to watch them over time. I do get it is a generalisation, and stereo types exist for a reason, but the reason is general, and the usually the sample size is small, and the sample rate in short. ie. I saw one person doing it one time, so that is how they must all do it, all the time. Yeah, nah.

[@scratastic1]

I wouldn't call myself a noob either ( I usually try to stay rolling until the last moment without even stopping) but I always brake with my foot and hand and the last few meters with only the hand brake while getting my right foot down as I stop. That's how we learn it before handling exams in the Netherlands anyway, also gives the opportunity to ride away quickly having your left foot on the shifter instead of puling it up first. And I normally always put it in neutral, only keep the clutch engaged if I'm in front of the line and I can't see other traffic lights telling me when I get a green light.

Apparently you have never checked the cost of a new Harley , I serious doubt the wheels on that cage cost $34,000 . You could spend $ 25,000 on a Harley in 1980. And I'm not talking about custom bikes I'm talking about Factory bikes there are custom bikes out there that run in the $200,000 range.

[@John_Ridley]

The other reason to move around in the lane is road strategy. Position 1 when approaching intersections so that cars waiting to pull out see more motion than if you were in position 2 or 3. Position 3 when there's a long line of cars coming because then the cars that might be itching to pull out to pass can see you faster, and also you can bail out to the shoulder faster if one of them pulls out anyway. Lots of other position choices come down to safety.

[@brucelavoie7333]

With more people wearing noise cancelling earbuds while driving, more powerful stereos and better sound dampening in most modern cars, the difference between loud pipes and soft ones is almost non-existent until the bike is almost directly beside you. Only bikes with the most extremely loud pipes can be heard approaching from well behind and they are at risk of being stopped by police for overly loud exhausts. I road for over a decade and 3 years YEAR ROUND in metro Boston traffic, when the pavement was clear I road in winter and was well aware of wet spots from melting snow becoming black ice overnight, morning rides were entertaining. My mental radar was on high alert all the time, constantly scanning all around me. When on a multilane highway you can be in direct contact with up to 8 other vehicles, 3 in front, one on either side, and 3 behind. I would drive in the left lane to reduce it to 5, less to keep track of. The same can be said of the far right but then you are dealing with on and off ramps and the stupid shit people do there. I never let someone tailgate me and would either pull away or let them pass. Best defense is not loud pipes but paying attention, no phone, no music, no passenger, just pay attention and anticipate what cars are going to do. Most drivers telegraph their next move, whether they realize it or not. When switching lanes they tend to drift towards that side before they make the decision to go. I firmly believed I had to drive everyone's cars around me and I had very few life threatening close calls.

[@saltedcashews269]

Where i live weve got a guy who rocks sandals, shorts, full leather riding jacket, and carbon knuckle gloves and no helmet on a gsxr. Its.... perplexing.

[@dgphi]

One big reason I filter (legally where I am) is so I don't get boxed in by cars. I filter to the front at traffic lights, accelerate away, and then I have my own space bubble. If I don't filter, then there's a strong chance I will have a tailgating car behind me. Tailgating is rampant where I am. Maybe it's universal? I've almost been creamed by a tailgater a few times when the traffic has stopped unexpectedly.

[@sebas888888]

Here in Madrid Spain filtering is legal at traffic lights and we even have a special space in front of all the cars for bikes and motorcycles so that they leave first. Also at peak times and if the motorway is at very slow speeds or even blocked, it is legal for motorcycles to drive in the emergency lane which is normally not legal but it's legal in those situations. Cool thing because it avoids dangerous splitting

[@AllTheNamesAreGone]

So on point 5 I think.. I'm a veteran rider but I'm also left handed and it feels way more natural to put my right foot down. Also we ride and drive on the left like in the UK so the natural curve of the road means that the left side of the road is lower plus there might be gravel or dirt on the edge of the road.

I don't like being ten cars back from the light bumper to bumper in all lanes, especially If I have the time to advance to the front.

I agree with most of this vid but #5 is doing my head in. For starters there are many times when I come to a stop where I haven't downshifted to first before stopping. This can be for many reasons but lets not get into that. If I come to a stop I usually put my left foot down first so I can work the rear brake in concert with the front. Then after I am stopped I will shift my weight over onto my right foot while I get the bike into neutral or first depending on the length of the stop. When I figure I will be moving again in a short period of time, I get the bike back into gear (in first), and then get back on the rear break with my left foot down while I wait on the light or whatever. As I am pulling away I get back on both pegs and work my up though the gears. As you can see this results in me routinely shifting from foot to foot 2 or 3 times on many stops.

If you win a 10k bike after spending a 100 bucks, you essentially got it for free. And he wouldn't be able to keep doing this as a business if he wasn't in the black.

I highly encourage you to read the official rules - don't spread libel

The point is your not going to win a 10,000 dollar bike for $100. He probably has to offer free entries as well or he would be regulated by gambling and lottery laws. That's basically how all youtubers do their "giveaways". Free entries just get saturated out by the people who spend because they get multiple entries. It's a buisness, certainly isnt charity. But who cares, it's free entertainment and information for me.

Hey guys I loved your channel. You had great advice for new riders that helped me very much. What were you thinking when you came out with that video telling us we should only ride on the track and not on the road. You lost my subscription and I don”t know how anyone else is still listening to all of your bullshit. That was a huge mistake.

[@MrInfinityjak]

And mine ....probably why it's taking so long to get to his million subs ..lol....tip for life listen to your audience...not everybody lives in the usa and not everybody that wears a suit is a street rossi...I think it's highly irresponsible telling people not to wear the best protection possible...

[@CyberChrist]

Racing suits are great for touring because of the lesser wind drag, until you have to take a shit :P

I used to rev my carbed Ninja 500 cause it wouldn't idle for the first 20 minutes
