"Do you look at the dashboard when your driving around in your car" Yes, frequently

Me: Jumps straight onto GSXR 600.
Yammie: Insults me in the first 15 seconds lmao.

I disagree on looking at the dashboard.


It’s so easy to go zero-illegal. A quick dash look can save many tickets when accelerating

Number 3 is a life saver for newer riders. Bikes' margins of error can be to be slim to none. When you're not in the right place mentally and don't have the experience to fall back better off on the bus that day.

[LveCami]

Number 3 happened to me once. My friend wanted me to ride with him so I did. It was about a 2hr ride and 15mins up I just kept having a bad feeling and felt like that day was just not my day. I kept thinking about crashing and dying for some reason. I pulled over and let him know that today was just not my day. I ended up just riding back home (15min ride) and staying home. I've done 2hr trips on my motorcycle before but maybe that day was just God telling me something.

Huge support of number 3 about not riding when you feel like it's not your day. Went out with mates a few weeks ago against better judgement and ended up collecting a power pole. Sometimes the universe is trying to help.

[romanthebarman]

Number 3, that's a big yes, if something doesn't feel right, don't ride. I ignored mine and luckily the damage wasn't too bad but will never be able to use my left knee like I used to.

I’ve been watching these beginner tips videos religiously before and after I bought my first bike. I commute like 15 minutes to work, but these small tips helped. I can turn into a spot and pull a 180 to back into the spot with no problem dragging the rear brake. Small things help. People, from one beginner to another, listen to poppa Yam. He knows what he’s talking about.

It is weird how much faster it feels to be on a bike. 55 in a car? Nothing just a cruise. 55 on a bike, I'm griping my tank.

Anybody who has ever had a ticket…will be looking at the speedo regardless of vehicle.

I failed my first attempt at the msf course because I psyched myself out, this video really helped me ace my retake - thank you guys 🙏🏼

[markymarknj]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #3! That was a lesson I learned the hard way. I'd blown off riding to work the day before; since there was another nice day on tap, I was set on riding and not blowing another beautiful, September day. My little voice told me not to take the bike though. On my way to work, the sun blinded me; I got in to a turn too hot, and ended up crashing. I was all right, but my bike wasn't. Moral of the story: LISTEN to your little voice!

"Idk, I made it up!" Fucking great, bro. KEEP making shit up.

I am from Wyoming. Born and raised in Cheyenne. I can indeed state, there are DEFINITELY more than 2 escalators. One in the convention center in Casper Wyoming, one installed in the natural history museum in Laramie, and one in a federal building, also in Casper. I cannot bring to mind a 4th.

10. Don't focus too much at dashboard
9. Stay loose (grip on the steering )
8. Don't ride with random people (trying to chase them, catch up)
7. Don't rely on tech
6. Don't be afraid to add a bit more speed (as beginners usualy drive too slow loosing inertion for proper cornering)
5. Drag a rear brake (to make slow speed maneuver really stable)
4. Learn a bunch of special skills ( practice, pivoting/turning bike on bike stand, skidding, ...)
3. Listen to your gut (as a superstitions sometimes come true so why test fate that day)
2. Ignore the voices (as beginners to do crazy shit)
1. Track days

You're welcome

It's a mandatory requirement that every MSF coach must wear the booney hat.

Pro tip: as funny as the ad reads often are, if you're binging some Yam' vids press "L" 6 times when the ad hits.

[nkass]

Number 3: listen to your gut - I learned that the hard way, if anyone is reading this and doesn’t believe in superstition etc. neither did I, until one day I just had a feeling I should stay home, but went out anyway and ended up almost spending the night in hospital after coming off.
Broke a few bones, but definitely could have been way way worse, and very easily too.

[QuakeGamerROTMG]

The simple reason to not ride if something just feels off is that by having that on your mind you're already distracted by those thoughts making you more likely to make a mistake.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy, by stressing you're only making bad stuff more likely to happen

[cuannell]

Definitely going to use these when I'm old enough to get my 1st bike! Thank you for the videos!!
