[@Dangerwiggles]

Biggest advanced rider mistake is being too comfortable. You get too comfortable suddenly you're going 80 in the rain on the highway and highside through a large puddle. Always keep in mind... Having a bike, even though you're riding slow, is better than not having a bike because you have to fix it or yourself.

[@Gismo3333]

That is not advanced rider mistake… That is a rider that think he… or she… is much better, then they really is. And the rider panic when they hit the puddle, and do something stupid. So the problem is the rider has not enough training and experience. Not because the rider, are to good at riding. Train some low speed maneuvering somewhere outside of traffic. That is how you learn to handle the bike, also in high speed. And try out braking hard on dirt and/or gravel… And experience what the bike feels like when it slips. Learn to relax when something happens, instead of panic and think you have to do something. To do that, you have to know what to do, with out thinking. You don't learn that from riding 1000 of miles on the highway or ride a bike for 20 or 100 years. If you don't know the techniques, and have them trained in, so it is reaction. Then it is no use to know, when something sudden happens. Better to learn how to handle the bike, in stead of riding way to slow on the highway. You drive slow on the highway, you may get hit from behind. Specially when it rains, and it is hard to see. And I have heard that some states, you are not allowed on the Highway, when you are a beginner; so check you laws in your states.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Exactly why I don't hesitate about hitting gravel, even the roads where asphalt just stops mid-curve... AND I'm frequently parked in the yard... Street tires weren't designed for off-road, and I ride a cruiser... BUT I fishtail through and sling mud and gravel, feather the clutch and work the throttle to catch her in a slip... Sent off for alpaca wool socks and sweater to go with the balaklava among my layers... AND I rode all winter this year. Only had a few days where there was ice enough to stay my ass home... longest stretch was 12... AND in the mountains it wasn't too bad. You get a choice... be afraid to venture out of your "comfort zone" once in a while... OR you can learn and grow, use just a bit of care and ride a tad conservatively when things aren't optimal. ;o)

[@Dangerwiggles]

It's about time and place. And "riding slow" doesn't mean going 40 in a 70 zone. That means, I could try to be moto GP around these Twisties and one small mistake might cost me a bunch of medical bills... Or I could just ride and have fun, going fast.. but not being too comfortable with it. Understanding time and place and not being too comfortable out there is the most important part of the rider mentality that will keep you alive.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

@@Dangerwiggles Yup... I tend to ride "conservatively" around other traffic... ANY other traffic. A lot of the roads around me are posted 45 or 55... and mostly everybody runs between 5 and 10 over, so figure on picking up your pace to "estimate pack speed" at around 60 or 65 depending (on God ONLY knows what)... AND then I back off a bit, say... 3 or so mph... OR I just stick to what the Troopers and Cops usually say "5 you're fine but 10 you're mine." SO I stick at 5 over and let the rest go around me... The "Time to Ass Around" is when the road is clear, twisties or otherwise... AND it DOES happen... Then I calculate my risks versus reward, based on experiment or technique of intent... AND I may just judge up the pace for certain roads to work on smoothness or grace... AND I may just wring the hell out of the throttle and give "Baby" a chance to run out and breathe... Some call it an "Italian Tune Up"... BUT let's be honest, we just like to get into "a little mischief" every now and again... AND that's okay... When I can dress for it, foul weather is a perfectly good time and reason to go for a ride... take it easy at first, of course... and gently ease on pressure and pace... feel your way out to relatively uncomfortable (but not too sketchy) limits and learn a little bit... Early on, you'll probably learn that your tires (even "cold") are a lot more dependable than you'd expect. Then it's about smoothness and grace... finesse the controls... AND along the way, somewhere, you should pick up some faith in the motorcycle itself... If you let it, they're often competently self correcting. Just keep a steady hold and you're probably okay... ...of course... everything has its limits. That's why we DO "take it easy" out there. ;o)

[@x1ver]

How has riding been for you? Ive been thinking about starting on a 600 as well.

[@ChrispyWRX]

@@x1ver if you do, go really slow and catch the basic first. The throttle aren’t crazy twitchy but you can get into some trouble: the first thing that was scariest for me was committing to leaning in a turn and judging how slow you neeed to be going. So number always slow down before the turn, look to where the turn is going not where you are and commit to a lean and gradually adjust to straighten out or turn sharper. Turns we’re the scariest part for me and somehow I came out without crashing a few times. Lessons learned. Go slow ! These are the best tips I can give you. It’s a skill you have to learn. The 600 is great once you get the hang of it. I now have a Kawasaki Zx6r which is a 636. It’s plenty fast and plenty fun for my mountain roads but I plan on hitting the track next year. Hope everything goes well

I started on an 06 R1 and ill tell ya. There's plenty of power below 12.5k lol. Without any rider aids, they love to kick out/spin the tire even at relatively low Rpm. Not to mention that front tire until you're up into 3rd WILL come up under power and if you don't know what to do with it you're gunna loop it. So yeah I concur. Somedays i wish i started on something smaller for a couple reasons. First reason is learning curve. It's much harder to get comfy when you're terrified. Second, You don't have room to wind it out and go through gears so if you're looking to have any type of leisure riding with your cruiser buddies, you're in for a rough time. Just my personal 2 cents and at the end of the day I love my R1 and I'm happy I started on it but It's not for everyone.

[@montrefletcher8048]

I also started ona r1 when I was 17 but I think it was between 2018-2020 r1. And ye I def should have started on like a 600, I almost died the second I got comfortable to go above 100😂 I ripped it on the highway going 158 and I swept by someone Ina truck and I was so close to smashing the back of them I slowed down immediately pulled over took my helmet off and just sat there for a minute 😂 now at 19 been riding for 2 years and started to ride competitive so I'm much more experienced since I race now, I now ride my paningal v4 or my brothers BMW m1k. My sister wants to ride and she asked me what color should her r1 be💀 I panicked thinking she was gonna start on a liter bike, I basically forced her to start ona r6 lol, not to slow where its not fun and thrilling but not fast where ur gonna freak when you realize ur ripping at 160

#11) Don’t ride with a passenger until you have mastered more than the basics, and are fully confident in your riding ability! For the person behind you to be a good passenger, they need to move in unison with the driver, to keep the bike balanced and in control. If you’re moving around incorrectly, and the passenger is copying you… two wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes your screw up and lack of control twice as bad! Remember, there is nothing sexy or cute about a passenger covered in road rash, or worse!

My first bike was a Honda CB360, second year they were out. Rode it around my neighborhood, for a few weeks, to learn how to ride it. After spending $55.00 for a tune-up on it, I bought a manual on how to maintain it. Learned how to tune it, change oil.... The next year I bought a 75 CB550. Put about 55,000 miles on it. Did all the maintenance/pgrades myself, including swaping out the dual points for electronic points, and repainting it. Took great pride in being able to ride up to a stop and just set my foot down. Taking off was a matter of lifting my foot and moving forward. No dragging my feet, like I see a lot of riders doing.

There's one time when I park nose first - when the parking spot goes uphill and I'm on the ADV bike. Don't really like waddling uphill into a spot when I'm on tip toes. Super lame. I pull in nose first then when leaving I can just pull in the clutch and coast backwards. I perfected that move when I was living in a place that was all hills and my electric start didn't work, and kick starting wasn't super reliable either. Got to where I can park on a hill then when leaving just swing back and around then coast down the hill and pop the clutch to start.

I'm 19 but I started riding at 17 also, although my first bike regrettinly was a r1💀 took me like 4 months to finally get comfortable and when I did get comfortable my dumbass ripped it at 165 and almost died lol😅. My sister has a r6 and I tried it just to see and I def wish I would have started on that hike lol

[@billbonu1639]

Number one in my book is pulling up too close to the gas pump . you have to leave room for your bike to lean over on its side stand AND have room to get off and walk between the pump and the handlebars etc.the hose is plenty long enough trust me so feel free to just park it way out there like 3 or 4 feet from the pump is no problem.

[@wanderer7779]

Highly recommend Champ U ( yamaha riding school 50$ only) watching those courses made me realize how little i knew!

And so the monday becomes a little better

[@vikingthedude]

2:18 “spreadsheet with a bunch of motorcycles on it” You didn’t have to call me out like that bro

[@agm6600]

I started out on a Honda cb1000r and I love it

[@justinb911]

I learned to ride on a 250 rebel. First bike I bought was 2005 GSXR600 20th Anniversary. I miss that thing.

Not the tub of Vaseline on the bedside table 😂

[@icarussalami3979]

i just bought my yamaha r1 2020 as my first bike. im hipped yammieeee

[@cedriclenners3737]

I"m watching this waiting for my first bike's driving plates. In a week I should be upon it😏💪💪

[@HBTFDawgsELITE]

Like them aprilias yammie!

[@GinoLuccio]

Kickstand turn, didn't hear about that before yet, going to try that some time. Seems faster than walking the bike back into a parking spot.

[@MC-Racing]

And then theres me, i've been riding for 14 years, own3 track bikes and two road bikes. and still watching a video from the noob channel about noob things to avoid.. well its still winter here, and to cold to ride :-(

[@user-mp2xc6dk6v]

Finally someone said not to buy a bike thats too small. I started on a bike too small for my height and weight and was not having fun. Switched from 250 to a VT1100 and I am still happy. Best advice you can give is to try out bikes until you find something that fits you right. Any dealer worth their money will understand that you want to try out a few bikes before buying your first one.

[@HemiLyfestyle]

had to watch cause i just got my first bike, passed my endorsement and just got my license at the dmv 3/25/22

[@daniyuki8336]

I swear. This turning signal thing is a real issue I have. Everytime I forget it.

[@MrKillervincent]

The guy speaks facts 😂 had all of these happen

"Buying to little bike" "crys in cbt"

[@denisfrancese9489]

For the First 2, as a person Who needed to take the 125cc BC at 16 you have to have that limitation, i would recommend an honda Varadero 125, It Is legal with the A1 licence, and It gives the experience of a bigger bike as It has the same body of the 750cc one, so you can learn to use a bigger and heavier bike while in the 125cc, and One of the only 125cc V twin cylinder bikes if not the the only one as i don't know about any other 125 with the same type of engine

[@GrimYak]

Mine came with Angel GTs, great set out of the factory

[@torentmonkey]

3:38 there it is, you said it. I'm starting on an s1000rr. No rly, I am doing this and also remapping it to lower hp for about an year I would say. Hopefully I am mature enough.

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

Dumped mine in my driveway. Normally when I back out my garage and turn up hill. Something was in my way so I backed downhill. To fast backwards didn't end well.

[@Bracci0]

Just started riding a 125cc Chinese-Austrian bike. 125cc because here you can drive it with a car licence. It is kinda scary learning to ride in live traffic :D

[@axelfoley5155]

Yeah I got a Honda monkey for my first bike so I can teach myself and it's fun but yeah I won't go on the highway cause it's not a highway legal bike in the state of Pennsylvania and I don't have to have the throttle wide open all the time so it is a good first bike for me

[@heatherradewan9172]

I just started riding a few years ago I love it ! Who's I could have gotten a bike sooner and yah mines old and slow but it's mine and it's a classic sport bike

[@josephhasbrouck4795]

Haven’t ridden since I was 25ish on dirt bikes I’m now 52 and taking the MSF course next weekend. I actually bought a cheap $1900 200 cc dual sport to get reacquainted with bikes again I get laughed at but really don’t care

[@climbmotoadv1550]

was some problem with my svarpilen 401 and it stalled all the time.... and I have many years of biking, it was so frustrating looking like I hade not control :p But after a service the found it and after that it was fine. My friend hade the sam thing with a duke 390.

[@LuisRodriguez-bn8be]

I see you like to mock MotoJitsu 🤔, but I really see the value o what he does, learning slow speed control is really important for developing your riding skills in general. I actually see a lot of things in common between your advice and his…

[@SitKid721]

I've been riding for 18 years now and I hardly ever back my bike in I didn't know what was a noob thing just how I was taught.

[@Swankyestbrute]

I bought my thunder kitty for 450 I got a helmet gloves an a jacket given to me with it I tore the engine out to find out the valve seats were gone and found a parts motor for cheap I love the ol girl

[@kalleklp7291]

Even if you have no mechanical skills (at all), you can manage some things on your own (or with a friend). Cleaning and lubricating the chain, oil, and filter shift, spark plugs, bulbs, fuses, tire care, AND if you spend just 1 hour reading...changing the brake fluid and the brake pads. It will spare you a lot of $$$ and you'll get to know your bike.

[@evanburda2156]

Yammie I just got back from my second ride!!!!

[@GoGoober]

6:39 only spend a weekend practicing parking lot drills?!? Emergency braking practice should have been mentioned too Yamm. I'd love to see how the team would do practicing White-Blue Belt MotoJitsu💯Safe riding!

[@TheHamlinHooker1]

Dealership for the win!!! Warranty baby! LOL

[@mitchellteeters6515]

I thought I was quick, but yall beat me here

[@JayCBR1100xx]

I pulled off the road to talk to a fellow motorcyclist today and forgot to check and make sure my kick stand was all the way down. Damn near dropped my bike on the ground, lucky i was able to push her up.
