I didn’t get my bike licence till I was 40. I can’t imaging jumping on without full gear. I kinda like my skin, and want to keep as much of it where it is as possible.

One important thing I wanted to add. At 2:25, while our rider was experiencing an adrenaline rush, he turned his head to look at the car he almost hit. During that time, a car nearly pulled out right in font of him. It’s important to remember to not let your guard down while still riding. I usually pull over to a safe spot after a close call like this just to give myself a chance to mentally reset. He went into white stage right after the close call and took his eyes off the road. The red car probably didn’t see him until the last second. He would’ve been toast if the red car pulled out.

From watching a lot of your videos recently and others I have seen. Way too many bikers first response is to honk the horn or rev bomb when an accident would have been prevented if they just applied the breaks first

At the 7:05 mark, "what's up with these roads?" Some British roads are very narrow with extremely limited line of sight due to hedges which typically line country lanes. The poster used the word "bellend," which is slang for d!ckhe@d. Spent 2 years in the UK while I was in the military. Loved it. But the roads take some getting used to.

I'm surprised diesel never took off in the US with how good it is for long distances. I'm also surprised diesel motorbikes never became a thing in the world as they'd be so good now with development. I remember Royal Enfield used to make one in India and it was like 200MPG, and that's with some ancient engine.

When VW got busted for cheating emissions on their diesel cars, they had to recall those cars and do a reflash on the ECU. A lot of people did it at first, until they realized that it reduced fuel millage by 20%. A diesel Jetta doesn't get much better millage than a compact gas car in America. What's the point in owning one if it costs more to buy, is slower, and costs more to maintain, all without hardly any benefit in fuel consumption? Also, diesel fuel is more expensive in America than gasoline. Diesels are very popular in large vehicles, likes pick-up trucks and large SUVs, because they are far superior when towing heavy loads, but that's not a concern for passenger cars.

Abs or not. It's not a good plan unless you are prepared and have experience. Is there gravel on the road? Lots to have to be aware of, but for sure if you lose traction you are out of control. Ride like everyone is out to kill you. That mindset will keep you on two wheels.

8:50 (sigh).. aside from not coming to a complete stop...or checking for oncoming traffic...or yielding to traffic with the right-of-way.... Not turning into the closest available lane is one of my least favorite common bad driving habits. Right turns to go to right lane, left goes to left... DON'T CHANGE LANES DURING A TURN. Complete the turn....THEN initiate another turn to change lanes. makes me wanna holler.

What’s a “skill-$#!+”?

how do you know you're going too fast when half your bike is missing? 🤪

It’s amazing how many people are not have gloves on never ride without them.

In the red truck video (Third) he claims that she has not the blinkers on but she has the blinkers on

I've always thought that when you see these videos of these bikers being friendly handing out stuff. Yeah what are the people thinking especially police enforcement would you eat it. Of course it's pretty bad when we always got to fear the worst

8:43 Most places allow you to turn right on red but you must yield to all other cross traffic. Also you have to turn into the nearest lane.

not paying attention to the red truck? no, but why would he pull out to overtake are vehicle with a flashing indicator? ... .. bad move. .. most of these accidents are caused by bad roadcraft on the part of the bikers, .. bikers are not exempt from speed limit restrictions. See and be seen

8:40 When turning right like this driver did you must stay in the far right lane. What the driver did was cross over. That is illegal

Take time to check your surroundings before every biker wave. NONE of us will be upset if you don't have time to wave. Some might think you didn't see them, disrespected them, they will get over it.

The dude at 7:12 is the dum-dum of the month. He tried to rev-bomb the car out the way and realised too late that this wasn't going to work. Some of the car drivers here seem to be the type that think they need to "educate" others. They are like "Overtake me too quickly? The f*ck you are!" Or "Lane splitting? Not on my watch, that is illegal!" "Oh, you are cooking on your bike in 100 degree heat? Too bad, you're staying right here behind me, because f*ck you that's why. You should have bought a car anyways...". Man, I love those people. They go out of their way (sometime WAY out of their way) just to be a complete pain in the neck.
