I always ride with the thought that everyone else on the road is trying to kill me.


I've got no one to impress. I just want to survive and ride another day.


Thank you for all your great videos.

I'm a very experienced rider and one thing that I do--is when I stop at a redlight behind a vehicle, I try to put myself at the outer edge of the vehicle in front of me in case there is a rear end collision behind me and the car behind me is hit and pushed forward, I will not be pancaked between the vehicles. Just a little thing I have found that will save you if this happens.

For over 30 yrs now, as a police officer I’ve been investigating traffic collisions in the Los Angeles area. Left turns at I/S’s is the #1 cause of m/c collisions and m/c fatalities. I’ve had people tell me that they saw the m/c and turned anyway because they were focused on cars ( go figure). If your riding over 40mph in a metropolitan area your going too fast.
REMEMBER THIS: People will ALWAYS turn in front of you on a yellow phase light. M/C riders should always try to stop.

If you leave your ego at home then you will have a much better chance of seeing it when you get home.

I just recently started riding again after 15 years without riding. What’s scary to me is that I don’t remember being so afraid to make left or right turns from a dead stop. And my bike is about 900 lbs and that causes me to feel like I’ll tip over. Anyway I suppose being 35 years old versus being fifty now has a thing to do with it considering I’ve matured and now have a sober respect for how easily one can lose their life or be seriously injured. Thank you so much for these videos and keep up the good work

I'm a professional semi truck driver / instructor. Your advice is solid and very wise. I always remember that if many drivers can't see my 75+ foot long rig, they sure won't see my cruiser bike. Drive as if your life depends in it, and it does. Be safe.

Who are the people giving a thumbs down to these vids? Everything he says will save your life. I know first hand.

Hi from UK. I always ride like everyine is trying to kill me.
Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!

[TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

Im a Police Officer and have been investigating Motorcycle accident Deaths for (21) years now and I can tell you with 100% certainty that "Right of way" often ends in Death. Yes, you may indeed have the right of way but often at the expense of being "Dead Right". So save ur righteous attitude for ur Caged Car!

That Yammie Noob comment!! Hahahaha! 10 points!!

[smartdrivetest]

Hi Kevin: another great video. And as I tell my students: the right-of-way is always given, it is never taken. And as you stated, it doesn't matter who's at fault, it's the rider that's going to get hurt or killed. And I like the fact that you make a clear distinction between the race track and the roadway - very, very professional. One of my pet peeves in traffic safety is race car drivers giving driving tips to drivers on the roadway. All the best, Cheers Rick

Wonderful information! I've watched several videos and they have helped me so much!!! I've been riding 3 years now, but I never ride beyond my skill level and ALWAYS wear hi-viz clothing! I just upgraded my running bulbs to white LED and well as my headlight. I have ordered a strobe flash for the brake light too! Thank you for all they knowledge! Stay safe!!!

Finally, a competent moto channel. Good reminders. My main rule is "ride like no one sees you." Helped me survive riding bicycles in NYC traffic and will hopefully help me survive riding motorbikes.

After riding motorcycles for many years including taking a motorcycle course you are absolutely right on everything your teaching you have to be aware of your surroundings and avoid deadly situations ride with caution and safety first!

[jonathanmurphy]

Thanks so much, I just started riding last year, and took an MSS course. Motorcycle riding is so enjoyable I cant succumb to all the people telling me its going to kill me. I am a safe rider and am constantly looking for advice and tips from more experienced riders on how to be safer, thank you for your channel!

[scottreps]

I was a State Trooper for thirty years and just to add some information on intersections, when there is a right turn lane and a vehicle in that turn lane making a right turn, you are more than likely hidden from any vehicle that maybe on the intersecting road either making a turn or going straight through the intersection. The person stopped at the intersection is looking to their left and all they can see is what is way behind the vehicle in the right turn lane and never will see you in the lane next to that vehicle. Adjust speed, change lane positions or whatever you can do safely to make eye contact with that driver and also get your bike visible to the .

I love that you call out Yammie Noob, he's reckless.

[Doni]

You missed a VERY important one ! NEVER pull up directly behind a vehicle at a stop sign or light ! I ALWAYS pull to the left of the car in front of me( because most drivers yank vehicle to right ), leave some room and look in mirrors to make sure person approaching is going to stop. I always give myself a pathway of escape. This action saved a friend of mines life. I do NOT want to be in the middle of a car sandwich. Too many people texting and not paying attention to driving !

Dad taught me well 45 years ago. You sound like my dad. Great job.
