I'm a trucker, and my ability to see around me is unparalleled by any other vehicle. So the "blind spot" thing is overplayed. However, when I'm on my bike I get by trucks as fast as possible. Two reasons, blowouts on a truck tire are an explosion with alot of debris. The sidewall of a truck tire is about an inch thick so you wouldn't believe the force of a blowout. Another reason is as a trucker, I would rather you didn't linger next to me. If you're going to pass, pass and get it over with.

Don't know about the other provinces in Canada, but BC has a law, nicknamed the 'lane hog law'. If there's 2 or more lanes and the posted speed limit is 80KM/h or higher, you CANNOT ride/drive in the leftmost lane (Excluding HOV lanes) unless you are passing somebody - it's a passing lane only. There's a few more details to the law, but that's it in a nutshell.

There is a law about that in QC as well, but it is not often enforced. Especially in the Décarie "trench", were he was. The limit is 70 kph and there is no space to stop. I do the exact same thing when riding my bike through there (almost never!). His comment about people cutting to the right is spot on. I find that in a 3 lane highway, the center lane is the worst, you get cut from both sides. Bikes are only used a couple months per year, cagers often cut you "oh shit, ch't'ai pas vu man!"...

ICBC handouts on the subject even had a little FAQ - one question was what if I'm driving at the speed limit (for those who like to 'police' others by driving at the speed limit in the left lane) - the answer was it didn't matter, you still need to move over and let traffic past, even if it's exceeding the speed limit.

Just yesterday I had to use my escape route from P1 down the left side. There was an accident on the right shoulder and everybody was rubbernecking. Suddenly everyone stops..and I had to emergency stop...but a quick glance in the mirror spotted a woman with her head turned chatting up her friend. I bumped the throttle and slipped down about a foot back and to the left of the car in front of me as the woman behind me slammed her abs so hard it still skidded for a moment. She stopped about within 6 inches of the car next to me. I would have been toast. She didn't apologize or even look my way....when the traffic started moving she didnt even let me go...she just drove on past me...the car behind me waved me back in.

Hey Ryan, love your tips. I'd like to share something I do. Having the acceleration and maneuverability of a bike often means that I'm at the rear of a pocket of traffic. When that pocket approaches someone waiting to turn left, crossing our lane of traffic, that puts me at exactly the point where the waiting driver may try to cross. That's when my desire to live overpowers my desire to be a decent person with which to share the road. I flash my brights a few times as I approach. Stay safe out there, and do what you can to not be invisible.

Not only is it Illegal to lane split in Canada, I'm sure there are many assholes in cages who would cut you off, or open their door into your path, just so that you have a Fucked-Up-Day... ✔

Getting a bike this year, I'll be taking the Decarie home everyday, nice to see how to maneuver that stretch, thanks!

Truly the best motorcycle content KZread and perhaps anywhere.

It's probably somewhere on the internet, but can someone tell me how tall F9 is. It would be a good reference to have since I'm a 6'7".

Yep, love your videos my man, but primarily because of the intelligence, quality and production values you bring. Not a fan of the cheesy modern vlogger style on this one. Still love you long time.

Great tips! So many people don't consider or refuse to believe that just because they aren't legally liable, there are usual things they could have done to prevent an accident. Getting the big picture of your surroundings and leaving yourself an out are 2 biggies.

Love this moment... Flashing up Highbeam when I want to hit the horn

Why why why are you riding in the middle of the lane? I see so many riders making this mistake. Pet peeve of mine.

Car doors. Opening car doors. A lot of beginners make the mistake of riding to close to parked cars. 🍄

K A bruh, safety. It all about the grip

it's not all about grip, but that is part of it. the center is where the most oil is going to be, so yeah, the tire ruts will have the most grip. but i think equally important, is to ride near the other traffic, for various reasons... being closer to a car minimizes the time you're in their blind spot. the blind spot is a cone that gets bigger farther from the vehicle. so the closer you are, the more likely for them to see you. to discourage people from cutting into your lane or getting too close. it really is about asserting your ownership of that lane, and forcing people to see you and avoid you. being near the line, you are in a better position to see the traffic ahead and what it's doing. if the car in front of the one in front of you is slowing down, you should slow down because the one in front of you will be soon. probably another one or two that i'm not thinking of right now.

Do an actual brake test with a few bikes and a few cars. You'll be surprised!

I got a notification of a reply, but I can't see the reply here. Anyhow, what I was actually saying was that a motorcycle has a much longer braking distance than a car. (Talking about average vehicles). Everyone is thinking WEIGHT when actually it's surface area that is relevant. A car has 4 fat tires! So do a test going 70km/h and see how fast you stop. Then get into your mom's car and do the same. Then never tailgate a car ever again.

Uneven surface, potholes and anything else that's scattered across the road doesn't make it much better for the bike.

i really like ur videos f9. thanks for makeing em

I learned to ride through Pacific Riding School. I was taught to ride in the lane to what is best for you for the road circumstances. Tip. When approaching an intersection. If you are in a lane where there is/are a/or vehicles beside you and there is a left turn lane in the opposite direction. Be in lane position 3 (right side). This not only allows you to see any potential opposite left turners soonest, but gives you a greater escape area if necessary.

Please don't stay in the left lane. It's to be used to pass people. You shouldn't be over taken by people in the right lane. Otherwise, your video is great!

Stay alive first and foremost, go left lane speeds in the left lane. If someone’s on your ass you’re not safe. But his point stands if you’re in the left lane you’re more safe from idiots.

4:55 - 5:00 breakin gifs is why I subscribed. Its the icing on the cake for this channel.

+1 to that driving distance tip. 5 years, my only fall was trailing too close to see debris ahead of me.

I disagree with the thumb on the horn, that is why you commit your controls to muscle memory, if you hit a bump or a hole and your horn goes off, it can spook a driver into swerving into your lane or even worse, slam on their brakes in front of you.. Also you should be relaxed and confident when riding, if you focus too much you lose focus on other things if that makes sense. Before the hate starts I have been riding for 5 years so far so good. Oh and I survived the horrible drivers in Hawaii!

I tend to avoid honking at drivers since most will react by slamming the brakes, which might be more trouble for me. I just use my exit path whenever I need it instead.

Riding in the left lane, only, is illegal in almost every state and in places in Europe. Might even be illegal in Canada, but not sure. Most Americans don't know what they regularly do, is illegal. But in the states, they have been cracking down on it.

Illegal in Europe AND people will go full road rage at you. Esp. in places like Germany where they take it really seriously.

I saw a glimpse of Archer (Danger Zone). I like what you did there. Subscribed!

Mmm good call on the “look at the front tire” I sorta did this without thinking but that’s a really good indicator to be consciously paying attention to.
