1. Look where you want to go. 2. Ride more defensively than you drive; you are smaller. 3. Adjust mirrors before riding 4. Do a quick preride inspection. 5. Know your fuel capacity. 6. Motorcycle parts can burn. 7. Get gear. 8. Dress in layers. 9. Pick shoes or boots with good traction. 10. Know local motorcycle laws. 11. Double check tire pressure.

The only problem I see with your approach is when you are squeezing over to the left to see down the road it looks like your mirrors are hanging over the center line and I notice cars pass by you over to the left of their lane because they are unsure about YOU maybe coming over onto them.

So true. Used to ride to work in the dark. I got so I could tell when they were going to change lanes before they did. Thought that riding a bike would be too stressful. Been riding a long time now, gotta be smart, and alert, great therapy!

My biggest fear is hitting a big pot hole or tire debris, When you hit it with your car, imagine hitting it with your bike going down and the death wobble. Im at 80-90 miles now. That wind that moves your bike sideways is scary.

I got my licence in Oz back in the laye sixties...the police sergeant told me to ride round the block, when I got back he gave me my licence.......different world back then on Triumph Twin with the fuses under the seat...one night, dirt road, big bump, fuses fell out😂 lucky I ate my carrots like my mum told me too. Great videos, still learning, still doing U turns and stuff each week in a parking lot. One thing I do is take it easy for the first five minutes of any ride- commute, road trip, shopping trip- that gives my brain time to think, wake up dude, be alert

Random, but I love the way the S has been removed from SHOE. I can't get over what Americans consider "traffic" It's so light with so much room... It's like rush hour traffic 30 years ago when I was living in the country surrounded by nothing but farms! people in cars don't even look for other cars before changing lanes. if they did there would never be any kind of traffic accident at all (and in NZ we have about 10 times the density of traffic at the best of times. it's actually very hard to not be in someone's blind spot as all of the vehicles are so close together!)
@TyresongАй бұрын
Tired yes, but I've been up for 12 hours now... Coffee sounds good! on a side note, I took the scooter down to where the beginner basic handling & skills test is done this morning. and yes I was right, it is much more difficult when you have a centrifugal clutch driven off the CVT (and not the engine) than when you have a real clutch! (and surprisingly nobody cared, I must have looked like a noob that wanted to practice, rather than some clown that was just playing for the hell of it!

You really need to look out as far as you can. Checking the road for debris or pothiles. I try to find a quiet spot traffic wise. Dont tailgate especially trucks. Tire debris or dead animals at highway speeds come spitting out and you cant miss them if you folllow too close.
@dzeyo6512 ай бұрын
heres a good one for everybody .. on a 2 lane road especially, move to the right side of your lane with approaching traffic from the opposite direction .. a driver antsy to pass and right up on someone hes tailgaiting wont see you until he's already pulled out if youre on the left of middle of your lane .. too many idiots i see think they have to be brave or something and 'hold the middle' or even further to the left as oncoming traffic approaches ... you WILL wind up having to ditch off the side of the road if you keep it up .. and thats best case scenario ... stay further to the right and they usually see you ..

I try to avoid to ride with heavy winds. But when I have to, I turn my knee to the side where the wind is coming from. Foot still on the footpeg, and let the knee move with the wind. To me, it seems effective to keep control. But a heavier bike is of course even better.

I'll just add, when engine breaking and really losing speed, flash that rear break light so that people behind you understand your slowing down

With a Scout Bobber, I realized the practice bike I had for class was MUCH less powerful (it had to be for obvious reasons) but now with mine, that zone is much more powerful and hardly need throttle to go on turns from a stopped point in first gear.😱 practice makes perfect. Thank you for this 🙏🏽

Weather advisory mid trip on my KLR650, strong winds with gusts and to make matters worse it was that grooved/scalloped pavement. I was leaning in and throttling through but still getting blown towards the fast lane where cars and trucks unaffected by the wind were trying to set lap records on the way by!

I live in the south. Last week on a back road I came around a blind corner and saw a man on a riding lawnmower in the middle of the damn road with his back to me, and on both sides of him glass clippings to where I couldn’t even see the lines on the road. He also had headphones on so he couldn’t hear me. I mean he is lucky it was me and not a damn car or truck flying around the corner. But I think peeps should be fined for that crap. Even before I had a bike I knew not to do that.
