Three Mistakes Every Motorcyclist Makes

'If you don’t know where your mistakes are, that’s your biggest mistake’ said Meek Mill once and he’s right…whoever he is. We’re all prone to making mistakes and here are three you might still be making - often unknowingly - while riding.

This is exactly why I started the two handed wave

[Bloodglas]

personally when I see only one headlight my thoughts aren't "oh a motorcycle" it's "that dude needs to replace his fkn headlight"

[cjs]

I rode in a kind of perpetual scanning mode assuming every "contact" along my way didn't see me, didn't care, or was about to do something really stupid. It allowed me a few close calls that could have been much, much worse. In our current era of cell phones and self-absorbtion, I think this mindset is more appropriate than ever.

The solution for the high beam issue would just be vertically oriented pairs of lamps... That way one lamp directly on top of another would be noticeably different than any other configuration that would be seen in a vehicle.

and the dad-joke my dad liked to tell when were kids was, "Oh look at those two headlights. Must be two motorcycles; let's drive between them."

The ultimate nightmare scenario... Waiving to a guy while slow corning with your high beams on

The motorcycle wave, at least what I’ve seen here in Northern Ontario, Canada, is a more discrete left handed salute, below the parallel to the ground, with 2 fingers spread apart. It has little resemblance to a left turn hand signs. Love your videos and keep it up!!

[gabrielfresa]

I've recently starting riding, and I've got to say: your videos have helped a bunch! Thanks for your work.

[awaisarshed]

Dude the amount of work you put into your videos is amazing. I hope you get millions of subscribers.

I've had car drivers confuse my hand signals as me waving them through a junction when I'm riding my bicycle. They truly don't have a clue about hand signals.

I don't have motorcycles, I don't ride motorcycles and I don't intend to do either. But I love motorsport and this channel is enchanting. You manage such nuance and theatricality without saying too much or too little. I feel the subtle and paradoxical texture of meaning alongside the entertainment and levity. It is rare to encounter such brevity and breadth of meaning in one package. You should expand your artistry into other creative pursuits. Or maybe you are so passionate with motorcycles that brilliance can't help but shine through.

I may be 4 years late to the party but this was a phenomenally executed video theme, and perhaps the most creative youtube video I have seen in weeks. well done you just earned a like and Sub

Dammit Ryan, stop lowering my expectations towards other channels.

[harrison]

With Ryan's insane work ethic and above-average chin, he's going to be the Jay Leno of motorcycles.

[walterjohnson]

Love your programming and the way you make things simple. A sense of humor coupled with the ability to convey information without being boring makes you one of my favorite stops on the net.

The two-headlight issue - this could especially be an issue with some motorcycles that have two headlights, trying to emulate car styling on a smaller scale. They always just looked wrong to me, not what a motorcycle is supposed to look like. Hadn't realized they're also dangerous. Whether the high beam causes this is dependent on headlight design, but in any case high beam is probably not a good idea, you want to be seen, and if the traffic is blinded they aren't seeing you as well.

[Dudewithdafancyhat]

Damn...I'm starting to look forward to any videos, especially motorcycle reviews even if I'm not interested in the bike because this dude is creative af

[fredminpin]

I remember being told that seeing one headlight could indicate a car with a burnt out headlight, and not to be fooled thinking that you have the safety or space for anything else.

[Pokitchange]

The science and advice on your videos is enough to keep me watching them. But the creativity and your humor is why I enjoy watching them. Thank you for your efforts.

[deevnn]

Greeting is two fingers, arm pointing down...has been since I've been riding which goes back to 1969.
