Yeah, the first wave was so awesome I started waving all the time until my first "oh shit" wave moment: I was shifting gears down before a corner when a biker waved at me so I waved back and had to drop the clutch to do it which caused pretty massive engine breaking and I almost crashed then (yes, that was my first week on the bike so downshifting was veery slow and it could in fact end up with severe engine breaking if the clutch is released too fast). After that I wave back very consciously but in general yeah, I love this feeling, still remember the first "wave back" moment. And I still remember when on the traffic lights a guy stopped next to me and "offered" me a fist-bump! Even more awesome.

As a new rider, I can relate with the scare thing. I had a pedestrian try to run across a crosswalk earlier today when I was already close enough I probably shouldn't have stopped, but I ended up doing so anyway. I was super worried he was going to dart out in front of me. Going from 50km/h to 0 in only a few meters was terrifying for me, and I was amazed at how well my bike actually stopped that quickly.

"Getting scared shitless" was the one that really stood out for me. I've got a few months of riding under my belt now and have had a few tricky moments to navigate but one recently scared the life out of me and made me pull my head in. Riding at night down a road I had not ridden before, with no street lights and very little reflective details on the road. A long pin straight run at 80km/h. Towards the end there is a fairly sharp bend which was difficult to see coming on account of the dark, but worse you can't see just how sharp it is until you are in it. I picked up on the bend way too late, and only got a little front brake in before I was ultimately 'in the bend'. I remember thinking two things. "Fuck, I'm dead" was on a loop, and then MCrider came into my head saying "lean harder into the turn and trust your bike". Into the lean I went, went hard on the countersteer and.... perfect. Pretty sure shitting myself added +10 to my traction stat, and praying to our Lord & Savior Rossi may have granted me a moment of divine intervention. The heart was racing way too hard, and I was pooling in gooch juice, after that one. I pulled over, turned around, and went home; my planned destination be damned. Then made the trip the next night after learning the trip on google maps street view! Oh, and that was on a scooter; just to explain why hitting a bend at 80km/h wasn't the greatest of predicaments

I know that trains drop sand on the tracks in front of the wheels for extra traction, I think some semi trucks even drop gravel in front of the wheels. I guess motorcycles use the rider's shit for this purpose?

My first "is this all really worth it" moment was when I crashed. I had only been riding for a few weeks, just officially got my sv650s transferred into my name and what counts as winter in the PNW was nearly passed. I was going to work, taking an on ramp and I hit one of those annoying patches of gravel and sand that form and I slid high side into a concrete island, completely broke my front wheel, bent one of my fork tubes, busted my radiator and scraped some of the fairings(luckily my frame sliders did their job). After regaining my composure and I got the bike off the ground and was surveying the damage is when the thought hit me, fuck this isn't worth it, my wife is going to murder me, I will never see my daughter grow up if I keep this up! But the moment was fleeting after really focusing on the damage, the randomness of it all, how long I had been waiting for this bike and the memories of Harley Lyfe with my Dad and his family. And a few weeks of scouring Ebay, craigslist, Amazon and hours of labor later and I am so thankful that I brushed off the trauma of it all and kept going.

Sadly gravel is just one of the many dangers, but at least an avoidable one. Best thing you can do, apart from getting back to riding, is making sure you're a lot more focused on hazards on the road surface like gravel, engine oil and similar. As someone else said, if there's a hazard on the road, it's normally right across the line you take on a motorcycle.

First year riding was great!!! I dove into the world of riding with no formal practice on motorcycles but my common sense and practice on mountain bikes helped me have a lil taste on what the world of motorcycles was gonna be like... Well, that's what I thought lmao. Riding motorcycles are amazing!!! They are powerful and bring an overwhelming sense of joy. Yammie Noob really hit home when mentioning riding is a sense of freedom. Overall, I tell everyone they should definitely try it. While riding understand everyone has their own learning curve and always-ALWAYS be humble. My lil story of when I first went down (dont be afraid, all riders go down) I was showing off doing a superman on my fz07 down my residential street (to impress a girl behind me) to eventually getting surprised with 2 young kids running into the street without looking. I immediately jumped down to slow down n stear around them (up a drive way b/c a truck was on the other side) and my handle bars got locked aka went down. I was fortunate the kids were safe n I only got a sprained ankle with some road rash. Again, motorcycles are it's own beast. The community is great. Riders will judge you, have open arms, ignore you,... just like the real world, but focus on you. Learn your bike, work on your bike, and enjoy the process. Cheers!

I bought my 250 KYMCO People Scooter (2005) 3 months ago. It didn't have a title. I'm 58 and on SSI. So, I had to pay for each part by the month. I would just start it up every other day and ride (slowly) around the block. 2 and 1/2 months later I finally get my tags, Ins, I'm still waiting for the title via mail. I took it for my 1st REAL ride on the interstate. Every seam on the road was terrifying. I could hear what EVERY person had said to me. Especially the one man who said, "Do you know what they call people who ride motorcycles?...Body Parts." I mean EVERYONE said "Oh My God! You got a Motorcycle?" And I replied as I still do. "It's a Scootercycle!" And they'd say, "You better be careful!" When I put my Helmet on I felt like an Astronaut. I knew how IronMan felt as he flew! I went an hour south, then an hour back. When I got home the reserve tank was boiling over. I had nearly blown the engine from overheating. So, I did a coolant flush with the new Honda coolant as KYMCO is Honda's Lil brother. Took it for a Most Bodacious ride and it overheated. Then, I put a new thermostat in, took it for a ride and it overheated. Then I put a coolant sensor in, took it for a ride...and yep, It overheated. I've now had her for almost 5 months and rode her 5 times. I'm putting her in the shop on the 1st as I'm out of tools and LUCK. I'm still a Noob and very scared but the feeling I get when I ride is unexplainable. I'm a KZread creator with a Home Studio. Yes, a musician. My name is Fred Minor , hence the LOGO...Fm Studio. Check out my music vids...I have plenty. I hope they find the problem. It's 60 dollars an hour at the shop. But more than that...I hope I never wreck. I love the storage capacity on the Scootercycle and the 250 is perfect for me as I am a lil dude. I'm watching all the vidz that I can and I just, I don't know, felt compelled to post something. Good Luck to all of you and as we used to say when I drove Taxi for 6 years (which made me a very good defensive driver) "Keep It On The Road!" Later Gatorz. Fm.

Some riders in France, instead of waving, they the do "Le Leg". This is sticking your left or right leg out to the passing motorcyclist. The supposed reason is because it's safer than taking your hands off the bars when riding in the cities. Le Leg is also used to say _thank you_ to cars who pull over for you. On the open road, at highway speeds, it's more usual to wave.

Awww yes, that smooth and subtle drop of your clutch hand and the oh so smug face you make when saluting the approaching rider/s coming the other way with the peace sign.

45yr old here... starting driving lessons (12hrs) next friday, exam a week later. Have been riding 50cc's until my 19th but never rode a bike. So very excited to start. Bike already ordered and waiting for me in the shop, so I'm very stressed to pass the exam now :) Looking VERY forward to it though.

@@eliteanglers404 first lessons went very well actually. love the riding in itself, but the exam in Belgium is pretty hard for a beginner. One thing I'm struggling with a bit is the slow driving, we need to drive 10 meter slowly and take at least 12 sec to do this, so balancing on the spot. One foot on the ground=fail. Going to practice this today for another 2 hours, exam in 3 days ... hope it goes well!

I had my first biker wave yesterday!!!! I was so happy!! It was small, but I ride a moped(gonna get an R6 soon), so I was even MORE Siked!!!!!

Just got my first bike this month and your vids have helped me tremendously. My ride home from buying it was soo scary and I didn’t have any of the proper gear or knowledge. Thanks for helping me become a better safer rider

"You're a grown ass person and its a little creepy how much you think about an inanimate object" painfully accurate

I've been riding for about 8 months. Watched a lot of Yammie Noob and other vids before starting. Definietly went through the under confident, to over confident, to realistic phase. Luckily I took an MSF course first and always ride in full gear. Also one of my favorite biker terms I learned is "chicken strips" which is the layer of fresh tire on the side of the wheel as a result of being too chicken to lean in all the way on a turn. But I started off with a Yamaha 650 vstar cruiser so leaning isnt a big deal.

I have had my license for just over a month now and ridden the 2 wheeled machine for over 4000km and loved every second of my euro bro 35kw A2 license restricted freedom!

My first day was like : Oh shit... this is going to go downhill fast Second day: Hmm... let's play around a bit. Let's replace the chain and sprockets Third day: Welp.. everything seems to be ready *Starts engine* *lets it warm up a bit* *carefully leaves the city* *GAS TO THE MAX BOIIIIIIIIIIII* I also nearly hit a tree when entering a sharp corner in high speed but hey... crashing my bike wasn't a part of the plan so... Now it's been like 3 weeks and I learned how to match downshifts, how to do sharp U turns, proper throttle management, going through corners quicker and with just enough confidence. I usually ride at 60%-80% of my limits now. Thanks Yammie, your videos helped me a lot. Keep up the good work!

Love ur vids bra! Cheers from Portland,Or

I love your vids Yammie. They make me feel so understood.

It looks wicked in the black with the gold forks, Yamaha kicked a goal with the styling of the 2019.

my sister got a bike the other day, brand new not used, she was sitting on it, and another biker came by and did the nod. she got so happy from that. she is one of them now.

Hey Yam! Not sure if you'll see this but I wanted to thank you for the great content over the winter! I absolutely agree that I have tthought about my bike nonstop over winter and your videos kept me sane, all things aside I just got my mint 2004 ZX10R (with 4,000 miles 🙂) out for the season Keep up the great work!!

Most recent scared shitless moment was a couple weeks ago when I was letting out a particularly long far and the back end dropped out from under me bc of a pothole Edit: I decided in that moment that my pants were more disposable than the bike and conceded that I was going to shit myself. I neither shit myself more crashed but did pull over to take a breather and sneak a check to see if I had shit myself. It was a good 50/50

most americans had a car first. Age restriction for both is 16 and you need a drivers license to get your motorcycle permit, meanwhile in europe you can get a motorcycle at 16 and a car at 18 which means most people had a bike first.

Papa yam bless me with your expertise when I go on my first ride

Been riding for two months now and two days ago a car pulled out I front of me forcing me to pull the breaks, I was didn’t have enough distance to stop so I had to as the community would say “ had to lay her down” and fortunately I nor anyone else was hurt too bad but being the squid I was I didn’t have the correct gear on so I got off very lucky, but I have learnt my lesson and can’t wait until she’s repaired, but ride safe guys the gear is essential don’t skip it like I did because you don’t look “cool” it’ll save your life

1st year of riding you will go anywhere, anyplace, anytime. 2nd year of riding..... Checks weather.... Rain.....I'm taking the car.

Emory Poole... I actually use a suit from viking cycles with the hood under my helmet, neoprene gloves (cattle birthing gloves work as well) ran over the lower part of your arm under the suit, and boot covers with a sole ran up my leg under the suit. I took quite a bit of time putting it together and I stay dry but I also only ride on road. I have ridden in heavy downpours with flash floods turning pastures and ditches into lakes encroaching on the road. The trick is quality items and large overlap to ensure all areas remain covered. I use my bike for commuting and trips and don’t like to get wet. The bike does though.

Your videos are getting really good

Not only was i excited for my first biker wave but my first swarm of bugs i murdered with my face

I feel like a noob, I’ve have my bike for 2years, never changed the oil and never lubed the chain... mostly cause I don’t know how to

I still remember my very first "wave" 8 years ago. Zipping around on a 175cc when a titan of a man on a massive HD waved. Was giddy with joy

Owning a bike is like a gym membership you think you got a cheap deal but it builds up after time as you don’t notice.
