The turning light... I've always forgot to turn them off during the first 2 months or so from riding... I felt so noob back then, my solution was not to turn them on anytime.... I was too much focused handling the bike to be busy with indicators. Eventually i got full control of the bike so i started using lights, horn, etc... Sometimes it happens again, i'm very used to car blinkers since they are automatically shut off

No bro... never ever, under any circumstances let someone else ride your bike. There are a very few exceptions. For example I might be asking for trouble,(I will have full coverage with a $1000 deductible) but I asked my dad if he wanted to go with me to pick up my new "21" gsxr1000r(275 miles each way) like the road trips we did in the old days when I was young. I am buying it for myself for my 50th birthday so dad is a healthy 240lbs at 72. I asked him if he wanted to throw a leg over it when I get it home and he got a big ol' shit eating grin on his face. But he's my dad and he kinda deserves it all the shit I put him through as a dumb youngster. I kinda guess I want him to feel a little proud of me. But I know what his experience level is. He knows how to take it easy, etc. And he's likely to just go down a straight road and come back all done. Other than that, I don't let nobody even look at my bike wrong.

Weird thing is it's ever so SLIGHTLY sticky so if I haven't hit it in a while, (even if the blinker isn't engaged) it makes that "click" feeling which makes me think the stupid thing WAS still on... odd when it's an unconscious motion and my conscious brain registers it...

4:08 one of the first things i learned was, if you have to turn after you needed to stop, put out the leg in whose direction you want to turn. That way you automatically shift the weight and the bike tilts itself. I find this to be an important point you didn't mention. The 2nd on my list whould be... if your bike starts to fall and you try to hold it... keep the steering straight otherwise even a strong person can't hold it.

That idea of getting on on the "wrong side" of the bike could definitely be argued. There are a number of advanced motorcycle courses taught in the U.S. by motorcycle cops that require you to mount the bike from the right/high side. The thought process behind this is that, if you are on the side of the road and getting off your bike, if you get off the low side, you are getting off in the travel lane. Cops are constantly having to get off and on their bike on the side of the road, so this is a valid safety measure for them.

There are times when your bike is parked close to a wall or something on the left side, so is more convenient to get on it from the right, it's not that hard, grab the handlebar and pull the bike towards your side, then get on it. Maybe press the brake lever while you are getting on

@SmallSpoonBrigade

6 жыл бұрын

Getting on from the left is mostly because it allows you to easily keep a hand on the front brake while steadying yourself with the same hand. But, yeah, this depends on the rider and the specific bike. I ride a Ninja 250r and I can easily step over the whole bike without touching it, so it doesn't much matter which side I mount from. I'm probably going to start alternating sides as my left side is getting a lot stiffer than my right due to the right leg lift.

Back in my learner days we had to learn on 250cc bikes.... 2 strokes which are not forgiving!! My first day as a biker (1980) was the bike being delivered on a trailer to my home by the dealer. I was shown how to start it and what control did what and wished, "Good Luck!!", then he left. No compulsory basic training for new riders like today. I started the bike OK and proceeded to attempt to pull away for the very first time on a 250cc 17 HP CZ 2 stroke with 28.5 Pounds/ Foot of torque to feed in with the clutch. Compared to the feebIe 8.2 Pounds / Foot of the Suzuki GSX-125R that's a lot to control!! I also had to deal with the "Slick Shifter" clutch action that operated automatically when the gear lever was moved. The dealer had forgotten to tell me about this feature..... I snicked it into gear, let the clutch lever out gradually until it was all the way out and..... nothing, just engine revs and no movement. I lifted my foot off the gear pedal, releasing the slick shifter and popped a wheelie down the road just managing to stay in control. On the plus side it meant that I didn't have to pull the clutch lever in to change gear on the move. I then proceed to ride around the roads of the housing estate where I lived one gear at a time and learning how to change up and down. Up to 3rd gear and back down again. The next day I ventured out into the countryside and on a long mile straight opened the throttle up until the speedo read 65 MPH. After riding a bicycle 65 MPH was like discovering warp speed!! Two week later I discovered that the bike actually had 4 gears and not 3 and found that it could now show 85 MPH on the clock!! I still have the bike and it now has 79,000 miles on the clock and is now a 30 HP 350cc 2 stroke café racer. It sits in the garage amongst all my other dozen or so bikes.

That's an awesome story to hear! People were tougher back then with 2 strokes. They're no easy bike to learn on but if you can ride that you can ride anything. And awesome to hear that you still have the bike all these years later, thanks for sharing!

Sheesh guys, I'm a total noob, only started riding 3 months ago and already solved that problem for good - simply buy and install a freaking indicator beeper. You know, there's a $10 product for that. It took me like 3 rides to figure out that not having the indicators make any sound would annoy the hell out of me until the rest of my life so a fix had to be found. I'm an engineer, I would have cobbled together some device myself but a little googling showed that there was already a product out there that I could just install.

Newer bikes also kill the motor if you put it into gear with the kickstand down, guilty of that a few times more than I want to admit.

I get on my motorcycle from the wrong side. When I have my tail bag on, I can't swing my leg over, so I step on the right peg and step through. This takes load off of the side stand. I do the same thing from the other side if I am on a slope to the right where I would overbalance the bike. When I don't have a tail bag, I still get on from the wrong side. The motorcycle leans to the left. If I mount from the left side, I have to step away from the bike so my leg will clear the top of the bike on the left. Then I have to step out away from the bike on the right to reach the ground. If I mount from the wrong (right) side, I don't have to step away from the bike to clear my leg, because the bike is leaning away from me. Once I get my leg over, I just step straight down. It's easy. Try it.

Awesome video, I was nodding all the time while smiling and remembering my noob days 😃

A friend of mine broke his ankle due to this. He wanted to put his left foot down, had the bike start leaning before taking the foot off the peg (I realize I do it too, it's just a smooth natural gesture) but his lace had got stuck and the bike fell over with his foot between the tarmac and the peg/frame. Ouch. Same tangling happened to me too but I managed to swing my right leg over the saddle and jump off the bike with my left foot still on and tangled. Reflexes, but mostly luck, and being 1.90m tall.

Never seen anyone do any of these apart from sometimes the indicator😂

Funny video. Liked! :) Some remarks on the items on your list, even though I agree to them most of the time. 1. I myself forget to cancel my indicator from time to time. Happens :) 2. highway patrol riders get on/off the bike on the *wrong* side of the bike. Just to avoid jumping into ongoing traffic.

There’s often a time and a place that it works, and with experience it isn’t even an issue at all. I always just think it’s a good habit to get into as a new rider. But whatever works for you is the best way!

@SmallSpoonBrigade

The main problem with getting on the wrong side of the bike is that it's awkward to both have a hand appying the front brake and one steadying you when you climb on. If it's a short light bike, it's probably something you can get away with as you can step completely over the bike without touching it and if it starts to lean, you can recover without damaging it. Unfortunately, the good habit of getting on on the same side of the bike every time leads to bikers having a bit of a cowboy gate if they're riding regularly. I know that I started to walk like John Wayne after a few months of riding due to having more tightness on my left side than my right .

I started on a CBR600 F4i. I never got on the bike from the wrong side... but mostly because I was already tip toeing on it normal, so I couldn't have got on from the right side if I wanted to lol Also, my first ride on it ever, I dropped it in my front yard. We had to get it out of the back of the truck down at the park about .1 miles from my parents house. It was cold and a tad icy around the edges of the roads. I pulled into our neighborhood, went to turn right into the driveway, and forgot to clutch as I was braking so the bike keep pulsing forward trying to overcome by brakes, which sends me angled into the drive way, sliding a little on a patch of ice, and into the yard where I slowly and awkwardly fell over with it at a complete stop. Priceless.

The blinkers... yeah happens to everyone every once in a while. the other things are taught at the driving school here in germany. our driving teachers are very thorough here and teach you all of that stuff. oh and killing the clutch happens to me when the motor is cold. considering that it's like 4°C here right now that's normal. nice vid mate

@@ChaosCauses Hey mate. I got my new bike a month ago and am happy to check on your video. I do everything as you said, but I don't get the "Killing the Clutch" part. I start my bike and I slowly let go of my clutch until I get into traction zone of first gear and after the bike starts to move slowly, I give some gas. Sometimes I stall my bike for letting go of my clutch more without giving enough gas. I know stalling is bad for the engine. So everytime, I ride my bike from 1st gear, it makes me nervous, that too when am in traffic areas. How should I take off immediately without worrying..?

I think it probably depends where you're from. The HD riders around here don't exhibit the usual behavior that apparently is common elsewhere. Well, except for the HD swag. The only time I see the obnoxious HD rider behavior is when I go to rallies large enough to have riders from other states.

I nearly always get on my bike from the right side as I keep my gear in the pannier that faces up and leave my lid hooked on that side. And when step across it I use my left leg against the bike to help get it upright. Dunno why it's just what I do. After 15 years it's probably too late for me to start getting it 'right'. And i wish my blinker would stay on, it automtically cancels when I don't want it to
