The only thing i disagree with here is when you said slow speed maneuverability doesn’t contribute to anything else while riding. If you can’t swerve properly at 15 mph(counter steering) comfortably you definitely are gonna have a hard time at 70 mph. Those slow speed drills save your life at actual road speeds.

It's actually harder to do at slow speeds because you're doing all the balance. At mid to high speeds the bike naturally wants to go in a straight line, you only need to know how to counter that force, the bike does the balance part.

My choice of bikes I was physically able to ride was limited but, fortunately, I liked the look of the cruisers. I thought about starting small and moving up but didn't know how long I had. So I started out with a V Star 1100. Sure, the learning curve was a bit steeper but I've been having fun. I'm not into track days or knee dragging but have done several trips of 500-1000 miles and enjoy the feel of having a V Twin between my legs. Just thought you would like the feedback. BTW, great job.

If you push your bike around you don't have a chance at even taking your license here in Europe. All these things he mentioned are things you must master before taking your license in most european country. In the US, a complete beginner can easily take the msf course, ride around on a parking lot for two days, without ever touching public roads, then be able to buy any motorcycle they want. That is horrible. The system here in Sweden is way different and it requires multiple lessons in maneuvering, driving on public road, 2 mandatory safety lessons that are around 4 hours each, 5 mandatory tests including a theory test with 70 questions, a practical control check on your motorcycle, low speed maneuvering, high speed maneuvering and finally a public road test. Only then you can get your license. If you do any of these things he mentioned in the video in the exam, for example put both of your feet down at a stop, chances are that you will fail. These are all things that you absolutely must master before even taking your license. In the US, these things are seen as secondary because you did your 8 hour lesson to get your license. It's actually quite horrific that it's so easy to get your license in the states. I get that it varies from state to state, but it's not even near the mandatory education and training required in most European countries.

Here in Sweden, the "practice, practice, practice" comes before taking the license since you dont have a chance at taking your license if you do any of these things mentioned in the video. Seriously, if you cannot control your bike at low speeds without putting your foot down or without waddeling (3-5 kmph) you cannot take your license. There is literally a test called low speed maneuvering that you must complete in order to take your license. If you put a foot down, you fail the test. Mastering is a hard word and I might have used it incorrectly. Of course you are not perfect when taking your license here in Sweden. You still have a lot to learn. But referring to the video, if you do any of these things mentioned, you cannot take your license since these are things that are tested. New motorcyclists who have just got their licenses are not beginners in the same way they are beginners in the US.

Good vid. Started on ‘83 Shadow 500 and moved up to my custom V Star 1100. I paid a hefty price for arrogance as a noob learning on my own. Makes me feel a little better about where I’m at as a rider now tho bc things you mentioned came naturally. I never again lose respect for the power of what I’m sitting on or forget how bad it can hurt you. Always more to learn and I really want a naked bike.

The one about trying different bikes couldn’t be more true. I work at motorcycle dealership and when I first started I had my motorcycle license for about a year. I always wanted a sport bike of some sort but I had only ever rode my dads sportster. In about two weeks I realized I hate them😂 while fun and definitely have their own purpose, for the kind of riding I do I realized I’d rather have a cruiser. Eventually I’ll add something along the lines of zx6 r to the collection for track days and when I’m feeling my inner hooligan come out.

Don’t see what difference it makes, one foot or both feet down at a stop. One foot down is definitely a good skill to have in case you’re stopped pointing uphill but otherwise I’d say it doesn’t really matter. I usually do both feet down if for no other reason than to stretch both legs. I agree with what you said about practicing tight parking lot u-turns and other such maneuvers not really translating to much on the street. Seriously, how often does one need to u-turn??? I ride quite a bit and have been riding for over 30 years. I “maybe” have to make a u-turn once a year. Nice skill to have if you’re a cop and can practice on a bike you don’t own... Otherwise, excuuuuuuuse me while I duck walk! I agree with you about riding all types of bikes. I’ve had Japanese standards, adventure bikes, and Harleys. Loved them all. Wish I could have tried a sport bike but being rather large and tall I just don’t fit... Anyhow, like your channel, it’s always fun.

I enjoy all my bikes for different reasons, and I ride each one depending on what mood I am in! Keep the bars up, and the wheels down, thanks for your videos, I enjoy watching them!

I'm a lifelong rider who developed vertigo that presented about 90-95% of the time. I switched to a Can Am RT Limited so I could stay on the road. I didn't do quite enough research. I knew the Can AM was more stable than the two in back designs and I wanted the top of the line believing it would be the best of that world. Just yesterday the machine and I became one...it took 5000 miles of daily riding to dial that in! The RT rider position is fairly high and cornering reminds me of the ole Rodeo days! A Can Am F3S has a much lower rider position and is akin to operating a frig'n Go Cart and the transition from 2 to 3 is much quicker. I'm commenting here because there's a ton of guys who for one or more reasons have to give their two wheel escape machines and I want them to know that the two upfront design can be a great solution for that.

You don't have to change sprockets if they are not worn down to the extent that they need changing. Sure a worn down sprocket can eat a chain up. But just because your chain is dead, it doesn't mean your sprocket is too. Especially if we are talking about sprockets wearing out due to stretching.

I started with a naked bike and then a small cruiser. My friends back in the day all rode sport bikes and we used to switch bikes several times. I loved the speed on these rice cookers but I knew if I would own one I would sooner or later kiss a tree. It's just not my cup of tea. I would love to try a dirt bike but my legs are just too short. Lol. Sooo I stayed a cruiser guy.

Man you are right, i learned to ride on a couple cruisers ad one day i tried out my brothers dualsport and i knew i needed one, bought one as fast as i could.

i will say, i’ve had different bikes for dual sports to super sports. my most favorite bike, is my CB500F. not fast but fun to throw in to a corner. easy to work on. cheap to maintain.

Things you missed in your list: clutchless shifting: you know how the bike sounds and rides. In fact, you're so in tune with your ride that you really only use your clutch to start moving or to stop. Limit of traction: you know how much it takes to get your wheels loose. After enough time, you can confidently ride in rain, or even on moon dust without having to eat it. Spider sense: You're not sure how, but you can tell if a car driver on the road can't see you. You instinctively move the bike to avoid an accident before that idiot on their phone rear ends you or that college chick snapchatting her friends merges right into you. Acceptance: You've been on the road with clueless drivers long enough that you know crashing is inevitable. You may have already been hit before and you know damn well it likely can happen again. You aren't as nervous as you may have once been, and it allows you to fully enjoy the ride instead of that "what if" gnawing at the back of your mind.

These are all things you have already learned in most countries by taking your license. It really surprises me how these things are seen as skills you develop after taking your license. You have to master all of these things in the video to even have a chance at getting your license here in Sweden. But in the US, these are seen as things you learn after you get your license due to the fact that you can literally take your license in just 8 hours of practice. It's so much easier compared to most countries in Europe. If you put both your feet down at a red light during your driver's test in Sweden for example, chances are you are going to fail the test.
