The guy who low sided and went down the cliff at 7:31, it is European sign for no passing over the full lane. Sign looks like black car on right side, red car on left sign. Red car means illegal position. In Europe normally they have this sign before the sharp curves.

When I bought my bike, I had it delivered. Rode around the neighborhood for several weeks before I took it in traffic.

If you are a new rider and getting a new bike and don't want to have it delivered, have an experienced friend help you get the bike home for you and then ask them to help you to a parking lot so you can practice safely and calmly with the new bike. You have to be dropped off to get the bike anyway (if you drive to the dealership, how are you getting the car home?). So instead, drop your friend off and drive your car home while your friend gets the bike home safely for you. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. Everyone has to learn. No one was born with the innate skills to ride. We all went through this kind of learning and a lot of us were awkward like the rider in the video while learning. BE SAFE!

DanDan, after 22 years working as a street FireMedic, as well as someone that has owned and ridden motorcycles starting back with a Honda 50, I appreciate your channel more and more every day. Here in Central Florida we get a LOT of young people that want to take their crotch rockets out and feel the air. I am SO glad you push safety first in your videos, and I am looking forward to learning more techniques I can incorporate into my every day riding. Thanks again!

The big truck and the guy doing 180kph reminds me of when I was young, and very stupid and a squid. I was blasting through gears and a farmer turned in front of me with a swather. I panicked, locked up the rear, let off, nearly highsided myself, somehow got my butt back on the bike, got really hard on the brakes again and went around him (into the oncoming lane), BARELY missed an oncoming car and was one of the few moments in my life I thought, "Oh, this is how I die." We have a lot of people in the spring and summer out here doing farming and it's not uncommon to see big farm equipment on the road. The responsible thing would have been to not be speeding, so I could anticipate if he did something like that, and keep my distance. These days I really don't do group rides, and I'm a really defensive and cautious rider. Seeing that guy barely miss that brought that back and made me just go, "HRRRRRG" lol

That whole scene at 10:00, I saw a friend go through that and dump a brand new bike twice. I got a new bike and towed it home so I could practice my skills on quiet local streets. Dealerships should not let that happen. Also, looks like the bike is too big and powerful for his experience and skill. "Get what you like and learn on it" is not always the best advice.

In the UK you have to do the CBT. Compulsory Basic TRAINING! only after the instructor sees that you are COMPETENT at riding you can have a 125cc bike. After that you can do the bigger bike Tests. At this point you should be easily capable AND confident enough to ride the bike of your dreams home. From a UK standpoint its insane that USA folk seem to be able to buy whatever bike takes their fancy and just ride out of the showroom with absolutely zero skill, training or experience!!

Today i just bought my first bike. Its a yamaha T7. I was super nervous, but i got it home safely. It was one hell of a trip. I also had a friend trailing me most of the way MSF course training really helped me out big time. Thanks MSF.

DanDan bro you are doing GR8...!!!! Due to Your videos...I'm sure it do save someone's LIFE somewhere in any part on the EARTH. I ❤ your face Reactions after witnessing a unfortunate CRASHES. I became very CAUTIOUS, DEFENSIVE and RESPONSIBLE Rider on the Roads... Thanks to you bro. ❤ Love and 🙏 Respect From Arunachal Pradesh (INDIA).

in the video at 10:00 i had a similar experience, i bought my first bike a month ago and i got it delivered to my house. i never was on a motorcycle in my life and i was excited to ride it, so i jumped on it with not knowing how the clutch work or how to change gears, i ended up shooting really fast because i hit the gas waaay too hard and the clutch suddenly grabbed. i lost controll and high sided off the motorcycle, i got nasty road rash on my hand and knees (no protection). lesson learned.

That beginner rider pulling out of the dealership also looked like bad clutch lever adjustment for arm angle and maybe more bad stuff like wrong freeplay. Unfortunately, you only notice that stuff intuitively after you have some experience. Gotta practice somewhere safe until it's trained in and always check lever setup before taking off, test brakes and everything as you start to roll out so you can discover problems at low speed and go back to make adjustments if needed. Preflight check of tire wear and pressure, brake pads still thick enough, no leaks, all lights working -- it's easy to get lazy and forget, but just don't.

Watching from 10:00 onwards has made me so grateful about the UK bike laws, the CBT test effectively forced me to learn how to avoid this dangerous situation and along with everything else they taught me has made riding feel safe as anything

That sigh @12:40 lol I felt that. the whole viewing experience was stressful AF

That first clip is still impressive because even if it's 187 KMH, that's 116MPH. That's hella lucky to not end up as red paste decorated with strands of dyneema or kevlar on top.

Didn’t know I was clicking on an Ad for this dudes motorcycle academy.

Tip: The horn is a warning device not an "I'm pissed" annunciator.

Had a similar scenario to this first one recently. Wasn't speeding or following too close, still going about 60. Pickup truck with blacked out taillights stopped suddenly to turn left. Didn't realize until it was too late. Emergency braked (progressive pressure), front end locked up, wasn't gonna make it, no shoulder. Put it on that narrow strip by the white line and passed the truck with about 20mph to spare. There's no time to think when something unexpected happens, practice until it's natural. If you do then your instincts will know what to do when things go wrong.

Hey man thanks for teaching and not criticizing.

that new rider flashed some old memories up . i was lucky My Nan had my 50cc bike at her house before I was 16 so I practices pulling off and turning in her drive before My 16th birthday so I could ride on the day :)

That TNE TV clip gave me anxiety but more than that it made me realise how valuable it is that in the U.K we have the CBT so that before you can ever take a bike on the road you have to do the closed course basic stuff and your instructor has to be happy that you are competent enough and then your instructor follows you for a 2 hour ride on road and only if the instructor is happy do you get your CBT that allows you to ride unaccompanied on the road. I believe all of Europe has a similar set up and in the UK it's only about £150 and you get to drop their bike not yours.

Always wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle and I finally bought my first bike yesterday. Since I've only ridden a motorcycle once about twenty years ago I thought it would be a good idea having my Ninja H2 delivered. After seeing that new rider I knew that I made the right decision. Starting my motorcycle safety course on Tuesday.

My first bike was an 08 hatley nightster 1200, I bought it off a guy and had him trailer it to my house. Spent 2 weeks practicing in a neighborhood, dumped it once practicing a tight turn from a stop sign. Learned how to position the bike better for turns after that.

That new rider had my butt clenched !! Great learning opportunity for people thinking of getting a bike.

I bought a Honda fury last month as my first bike picked it up a week after my msf . Picked it up in California and drove it 14 hours home to Oregon

When I bought my first bike, I didn't have my endorsement, or even my permit...I had my uncle ride it home for me. Now I've ridden around our block a few times, and have my Rider Course in 2 months.

How'd your pickup go?

That beginner clip is exactly why I took the motorcycle driving course that included certification at Honda. You just show up they give you the gear and a bike, at least mine did. They teach you how to ride how to shift all that in a couple of days that way when you go to get a bike you at least know a little bit what you’re doing when driving out onto the roads.

When I bought my first bike I rode it around the dealership’s parking lot for a few hours (they had a huge parking lot) and still ended up getting it delivered because the area was terrible. A lot of traffic and a lot of road work. Then I rode it around my neighborhood for a good while.

Aced my brc2-they told me to skip brc1, taught by cherry from wolverine harley and cop bike teacher with a SH1T friction zone that was inconsistent due to air in the clutch line (didn’t know at the time). Fought the fork rake the whole time…100% recommend a 300lb- bike for endorsement tests. 😂

When I bought my first bike I rode home from Arkansas to Oklahoma on a newly bought z125 and it looked very similar to the dealership clip I rode through the Razorbacks Campus with my grandma following close behind as I did my first ever (accidental) clutch up taking off from a stop light almost looping the bike

I was considering riding my bike from the dealership, after my MSF course. Definitely leaning closer to no now.

Looking at those trigerred lane splitters seems that none of them ever drove a car, its such a normal lane change in a traffic that is going slow and there is plenty of space in another lane, but when a motorbike drives 3x speed between two lanes how can he expect everyone to see him. Lane change usually takes a second, quick look at the mirror and you start changing if you see the gap. Also damn, if you can’t see the car, car can’t see you too… refering to some other videos. Thx for listening just had to get this out

That new rider as any new rider must take riding lessons and practice

How everyone is acting like it is perfectly normal to never ever touched a bike, then go buy one and go straight in to traffic with it?? This is insane. In Finland, it is mandatory to go through the basics course with certified instructors (and pass official handling and driving test, which is rather challenging) before you get your license to even ride a motorcycle. It is baffling to me that it isn't so everywhere. Especially in places where cars with manual transmission are rare.

11:30. No pressure. You got this.

That guy on the red bike wouldn't fly off the cliff, he just fell into the bushes and escaped with an injury to his toes.

12:20 this is why it's so important to mentor new riders. If you have friends who are getting their first bike, offer to help them out. Take the bike home for them, get them into an open parking lot and let them get that first drop out of the way where there isn't traffic and they don't have to be so nervous.

That new rider had absolutely no business being out in traffic yet

I know exactly where the new rider video happened, and at 12:18, when he stops in the turn lane, he is right in front of the community college where they conduct the MSF courses!

The motorcycle gods were with that first guy.

You just know after that new rider left the dealership they were wondering if he made it home

I’m a newer rider and only recently have been able to ride faster than 40 mph. I still have more practice to do with the fundamentals and being comfortable with all the wind when going faster.

I have my CF Moto 450SS being delivered today July 5th wasn't prepared to ride it 100 miles home....lol.

28:11 ehh that's Peterborough ontario! Went to high-school there :) the white van switched lanes because the lane they where in was a dedicated left turn lane. This lane switch should have been expected if you live in the area cause it's a common mistake.

Man that guy leaving the dealership I felt so bad for him. I want to say he had no prior experience with manual transmissions. Was why he was struggling so bad. I have drove manual transmissions in my cars for 8 years. And I drove my bike 50min home from the dealership, though I was a nervous wreck and terrified I made it home with no issues. Excluding a lady that yelled at me for going slow. 😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I'm so glad to live in a country where you can't just buy a bike and drive it without experience. I find it so strange! Here you need to take 2 exams before you can have it on your driver's license. You take lessons for the first exam (parking lot, exercises like the U-turn, tight turn, figure 8, slow driving). After you've passed that, you take lessons on the road, and then you need to pass an exam showing you can drive safely on the road in different situations. Also you have to take a test on paper to show you know the rules on the road, basic maintenance etc. So the concept of just having your car license and then being able to just buy a bike and drive it, is a very weird concept to me haha! Saves a lot of time and money, but I wouldn't change our system for it.

This is coming from a car driver, hearing the rev-bomb "assuming windows down" just makes me wanna screw with them and spook a rider... or do a quick, short and happy "beep beep back" That sound literally reminds me of the south park episode with the biker gang

Deflector shields stop high velocity micro particles that carry incredible amounts of energy and with a tiny amount of momentum relative to their energy, so they are easily stopped by slowing them down over short distances. Satellites in space use a kind of metal foil that bends and absorbs the energy from micro particles that would cause serious damage to a hard object. Deflectors are like breaks for grains of sand travelling a thousand mph.

My riding schools is offering to deliver their students' motorbikes to the school site where students can practice safely.

That new rider was terrifying. I can’t believe dealerships let people leave like that

New rider. What’s the deal with Prius?

Rev bombing needs to be trained out of riders at riding school. The horn, handlebars, and brakes work alot better to help you avoid accidents

I bought my first bike. A susuki intruder 1400. I live in two hills that connect going down hill. I rode the bike to the end of the first hill had to stop on the start of the 2nd hill bc of a car and gravity took over lol. So deciding I went to big I traded it for a susuki marauder vz800. Haven’t rode yet waiting to get it legal but am kinda nervous.

I know how shifting works and all that I’m just nervous bc I live in a city so I’m gonna have to deal with traffic potholes all that as a new rider.

Man I was nervous as hell watching that clip of the new rider. The dealership I bought my first bike from was happy to deliver my bike no charge. People in my neighborhood were probably wondering why the guy on the motorcycle was lingering around for a few hours acting like he was looking for something. Lol

Motorcycle riders aren't usually looking for trouble but trouble somehow finds them.

I feel like some of them are subconsciously looking for trouble

OMG that dealership should have never let him drive off the lot like that. They really should have told him we can just deliver it.

Did that prius run into the other car behind the rider?
