Just wanted to say a BIG thank you. Your videos helped me pass my mod 2 this week. 🥳

The West of Scotland.............pothole capital of the world(especially in the spring)🤬great vid as per👍👍

[@DoomNedwob]

Another cracking video mate! 👍 I know I've said it more than once, but I really hope that one day you will become an instructor. Your mindset and the way you pass on your knowledge are just spot on in my opinion. Thanks for all your previous videos, especially the Mod 2, most helpful. Shame you've lost your demonstration car park, cheeky wossnames! And for the good news, I passed my Mod 1 yesterday and passed my Mod 2 this afternoon...now I need to sleep for a week! Cheers and stay safe. 🤜🤛

[@MotoEcosse]

That awesome bud. Congratulations. Start training as a CBT instructor next. My old riding school has offered to train me. Glad the videos helped. 🤜🤛

[@DoomNedwob]

@@MotoEcosse Dude, that's awesome! My examiner yesterday actually used to work for my training school, so you never know where you might end up! 😁 Looking forward to your touring videos and more tips. You never stop learning. Thanks again for everything 🤜🤛

@@MotoEcosse You'll be great. You're a natural teacher (as this channel shows) with an excellent eye for detail. Best wishes.

[@monkfish1o1]

I’ve been following your channel for a month, getting me ready for my Mod 1 and Mod 2. I’m happy to say that today I passed my Mod 2 and I wanted to say thank you for all the helpful info. I will be following this channel in the future.

[@MotoEcosse]

That's awesome to hear, Kieren. Congratulations mate. 🤜🤛

[@monkfish1o1]

@@MotoEcosse Now I just need to work out what bike to get, it's a big decision. Also when is your next video coming out?

[@cameronsilk8318]

Just passed my test and bought a GSF600 Bandit, have only managed to have the weather/ time to ride it once! The mod 1 and Mod 2 tips really helped me! After a month of waiting to get the bile restricted (a2) this video couldn't have come out at a better time!!

[@MotoEcosse]

That's awesome, Cameron. Congratulations on the pass. 🤜🤛

[@michellemackie5433]

Great advice! 👍

[@blackdotkiller1]

great video 🏍👍

[@tylerbelanger5904]

Just waiting to get back on the road after my first summer of riding last summer. I'm in northern Ontario so still snow here , few weeks to go for me. I'm nervous to get back on the bike but excited. I'm going for a hernia surgery on my groin soon, I am hoping that won't make it difficult for me to ride all season. I got a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Next summer I will absolutely need to upgrade as I did over 15000 kilometers last summer and a lot of hiway driving . Safe riding this season !

[@tylerbelanger5904]

Anyone can ride fast, not everyone can ride their bikes at 5km an hour without issues happening. That shows skill. Slow riding is skillful, fast riding is not.

[@MotoEcosse]

Hope the surgery goes well. Thankfully we don't get hit with that much snow. Ride safe 🤜🤛

[@MadOldBiker]

Well said and very wise words mate

[@davestatham8668]

Another great video and still watching your mod 1 vids that are brilliant. I've got myself a little routine of when getting ready to go out that just helps get me focused so 100% get what you're saying. Keep the videos coming and can't wait for the one where you tell us you're a full time bike instructor 😉😁

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Dave. Having a wee routine to get prepped for a ride is always a great idea so good job 👍. Lucky enough to be start training next year to become an instructor so can't wait 😁. 🤜🤛

[@ellenbebro9352]

I second everything DoomNedwob said I’ve watched all your videos 👍 I’ve not long passed my test and find them very helpful thank you

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Ellen. Congrats on the pass. 🤜🤛

[@andynotdave]

I was training for Das 2 last Sunday in York. while I waited for a bike and radio I mentioned I've been watching a youtuber for tips and said, "a scottish bloke". As soon as I said it eyes lit up and someone said, "moto something". Anyway after a few compliments went your way our trainer said "ahh you don't want to do that. Don't watch youtube" hahaha so you must be the competition.

[@MotoEcosse]

😂 that's brilliant.

[@beverleynorth4914]

Quick question Dry lube or wet lube? What do you use? What chain cleaner do you use? I’ve been using Wurth dry lube but it’s very dry and I’ve got a bit of rust on links so thinking of switching lubes

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Beverley. I use Motul for both chain cleaner and lube. They're both wet. When I lube the chain I'll give it a coating first, then spray some into a rag and go over the chain. This tends to help penetrate all the chain and can sometimes help with the surface rust. 🤜🤛

[@beverleynorth4914]

@@MotoEcosse thanks for the advice

[@goku6560]

Early squad 👌☝️

[@steve00alt70]

Im eyeing on the YS125 vs GSX S125 which is more beginner friendly? can you review a new technology called RIDE VISON? its an aftermarket safety collision avoidence warning system for bikes

[@MotoEcosse]

They'd both be beginner friendly so down to personal choice really. I'd look at running costs and insurance etc and choose from there. If 8 can manage to get a hold of it I'll definitely review it. 🤜🤛

[@leedavies2886]

What’s your bike? Looks nice, I’m looking for a super sport when I do my license, got plenty Experience on dirt bikes so should be all good

[@MotoEcosse]

I ride a Suzuki sv650s with a handle conversion kit. 🤜🤛
