Been riding for nearly 40yrs. I think all these points are relevant to road riding too. I nearly didn't watch, but it was delivered in a really good way, not patronising or judgemental at all. Great stuff 👍🏻

#8 - Just sold my Africa Twin and got a CRF 300L Rally. Slower on the highway and not tons of power, but SOOOOO much easier for smaller 150 pound me

At 150 lbs you might be one of the few people that the stock suspension on the Rally is actually sprung for. It’s a great bike, you will enjoy it for sure.

Ended up selling the 300L Rally after a knee injury and surgery. Got a Tiger 900 GT Pro, useing it just for sport touring

Just one more thought...when going around a blind curve, especially on dirt roads, DON’T cut the corner! Stay way into your own “lane”. The closer you cut the corner the greater the likelihood someone will be coming too fast from the other direction at the same time. Murphy is alive and well!

@brandtagone8487

Yeah was going to add the blind corner but don't need to now. This is a big one and I have actually had a fellow rider do thus to me after I turned around to find out where he was after waiting too long for him

I ride 365 days. Once in winter i lost control on a icy bridge and found myself lying on the road. I rushed to pick up my bike as fast as possible (because of other cars) But while picking my bike half way up it slighted on the icy surface away from me. I hurted my backbone so badly that i had to go to the hospital. So my crash was not the problem, i didnt hurt my self at all....it was just the hurry to pick up my bike..................safe ride to all the readers. (and by the way.... nice video and well made :-) )

I can’t hardly pick up my KLR anyway … I’m in my 70’s. I have to plan it out carefully when I drop it (been known to happen!). Slipped a disc just lifting it up on a stand to change a tire. Trip to the hospital via ambulance - thank goodness my sweet wife was there.

I'm 64 and have been riding since I was 15. The list you make goes over very important parts and is excellent for all types of riding. On road and off. A key point you made that people tend to ignore is your bike will go where your eyes are looking. Another if you weigh 80 pounds you have no need for a 800 pound motorcycle that you cannot pick up. If your a great rider you might not crash, but simple things do happen. If you fail to put your side stand down on a hard surface it can sink in dirt causing the motorcycle to fall when it's parked. If you cannot pick the bike up by yourself get a lighter bike. Ride smart if a car cuts you off it might have been a blind spot where the driver of the car did not see you. Showing the driver your middle finger and screaming at them is foolish, remember the car is heavier than your bike, you piss them off they can hit you with their car and knock you off your bike or worst. Use your head not only to wear a helmet but to use your brain to avoid situation that can end badly for you.

The nice thing about having a high horsepower machine is that I can give the riders in front of me plenty of room but still know that I can easily catch up if I need to do so. I generally ride towards the back of the pack and let the leaders discover speed traps and other unpleasant things.

Wow, a motorbike instructor / guide that actually talks sense! They're few and far between on KZread as anyone and everyone with a camera is, apparently, an instant "expert". Really good tips there that are really well explained. I've just hit that subscribe button. One I'll Definitely bear in mind is parking near the side of the road when I go abroad. In the UK, because we drive on the left, the bike leans away from the road. The fact it leans into the road abroad hadn't occurred to me at all.
