"Gynecological position found on many cruisers" LOL

[SierraOperator]

I'm about to start riding here once my gear comes in, but I spoke with a guy riding an R1 at my local Publix and I asked him what he could give as far as tips to a new rider. He stated don't buy a 1000 and watch A Twist Of The Wrist 2. He said every year he watches it as a refresher and it keeps him sharp. I got halfway through and man the knowledge that is there is priceless. The acting is B-Roll all day, but it's definitely a great start.

I was laughing so much when I heard the term "gynecological position found on many Cruisers...." that I had to pause play for a couple of minutes. Thank you Yammie Noob you made my day!

You go where you look. Most important thing I was ever told. Ever

I'm a sport bike noob and planning to do some track days once the weather permits. I've been watching Simon Crafar's Motovudu - The Dark Art of Performance which is helping a lot! The challenge is finding places to practice where road hazards and cars aren't an issue. It took me a while but I found a new road which is just a loop but where nothing is built, so no traffic yet, and with smooth run-off and no roadside hazards.

Tip 1. Buy a Liter bike as your first bike.
Tip 2. Full throttle at all times. Period.
Tip 3. Dont wear any gear, t-shirt works just fine.
Tip 4. Always run from the cops
Tip 5. Dont listen to any of these goofy tips and you will be fine.

[ahahhaahahah]

Why I love rideing so much is that fact that you have to have a clear head or it could mean death, I can hop on my bike a my head clears from all the stress because I’m focused on rideing

[-enduro-Vancouver]

another good tip with the throttle I was taught when learning is don't use a high grip on it greatly increase risk of whisky throttle for new riders keep your wrist lower down so it will close the throttle if your twitchy on it and throws you back

literally got my r3 today! talk about perfect timing

[GingerCats]

I think the biggest problem with "Counter steering" is the term... counter steering for bikes is the same as the Scandanavian flick, where you turn away in order to turn in quicker and rotate the vehicle, using forward drive to push you around the corner rather than relying on lateral grip! where counter steering is the act of pointing the wheels in the direction you want to go during a slide... also known as opposite lock!

[GixxerRider]

I've always said, "Wheelies are cool but a stoppie can save your life." Knowing your braking limits are FAR more important then knowing how hard you can yank the throttle.

[umariqbal]

just bought my first bike (2015 yamaha r3) two days ago. great timing

[IGameAsShiva]

Yep, it’s that time of year. I remember back in 2021 when I bought my very first bike brand new and here I was watching all the noob Yammie Noob videos 😂 good luck to all the new riders this season!

[Brad]

You had an old Honda 500 Interceptor in here. How cool. I think it was an 86.

[plaenophotoz]

Yes my guy I’ve been wanting exclusive sport bike content for years!

[AdeptusAmogus]

It may not necessarily be the "correct" thing to do, but when I got my first sport bike, to teach myself proper throttle control and prevent whiskey throttling, I only kept two fingers wrapped around the throttle, and my other two fingers gripped the bar end weight.

Grew up on 2 stroke dirtbikes got a honda nsr125r and the handeling is completely different came here for help thanks yam!

[azenyr]

Youtube recommendations randomly calling me a noob this early in the morning is always a great feeling

[Racha]

Very comprehensive and accurate. Investing in riding or track schools yields much higher dividends than an aftermarket exhaust!

Yammie, I ride here in the same city as you. I’ve been riding for about 7 years now but off and on. Meaning not always. Now I ride like everyday. I recently discovered the road near Volente. I would recommend that to a new rider or someone who is here in this city who just wants to learn their bike
