I want all of you to become SMART Riders and this training will help guide you there. If you don't need the training, but you have a friend that doesn't ride, go ahead and give them the coupon 😁.

PPE: Don't dress for the ride, dress for the slide!

Riding a bike is 50% anticipation, 30% self-preservation, 20% skill/experience... In my experience... Thinking ahead will keep you alive.

The protection gear advice is important for EACH and EVERY motorbike, even and especially the small ones. I've seen so many people riding a 50 ccm bike with just shorts and flip flops, it gives me the shivers. I've been working on an ambulance for about 5 years and believe me: you don't want to take a dive at 35 mph with no protection gear. Sweat is better than blood.

[roninmantis]

Good tips. I've been riding for decades and see the same silly mistakes people make. Personally I bring my feet up immediately upon leaving and practice balance when stopping by keeping my feet on the pegs as long as possible. Riding is a learned behavior, the good part is you get to choose which behavior you want to reinforce.

Got my first bike today. Little nervous wish me luck

[colincampbell]

Please remember that if wearing gear is hot, you will sweat. Stay hydrated, maintain your electrolytes too. Be aware of heat stress and heat stroke. Have fun, stay cool
BTW, I'm a ferret, NOT a rat

An important one that I never seem to hear about is checking your rear view mirrors when slowing down, stopping or turning, in 50 years of riding, I can't count how many times I've had to miss a turn or even go through a light to avoid getting run over by a careless driver.

[freeatleast]

Add riding while strung out on caffeine pills to number one there my friend. LMAO.

[RealLifefunny]

I always wear my gear...I’d rather sweat than bleed!!!

[PaulA-umcs]

I started riding about 4-5 months ago and I have been riding nearly every day since, with full gear. I've gotten really good with shifting, braking, and turning. I have never dropped my bike or had any accidents because I was very cautious. Now, the past few days I started wearing less gear and have been taking more risks(speeding, quick lane-changing) because it was so fun. As a result of that I have had way more close calls in the past few days than I did in all the months I've been riding. I was getting cocky without even realizing it. This video, and many other of your videos, has reminded me to put my full gear back on and to ride like my life depends on it because it does. Thank you

[vincentsanchez]

I got my m1 2 years ago but only bought my bike a month ago. I've had to re-learn everything with so much time in between and your videos have helped me so much. I feel confident and competent in my riding abilities thanks to you, so thank you and keep up the great work!

#8 Riding distracted while making videos for YouTube.

[GunnyJeffers]

I've been riding on the roads of life for 40 of my 56 years on earth. I still watched and enjoyed your video. Very good tips and I appreciate what you do for new riders! Semper Ride, Gunny J. OUT!

[rickyhurst]

New rule! Dont talk with your hands while riding lol,

Good video. I would add a couple o' things for our friends who are beginners; take it slow and easy as you're learning your bike; i.e. it takes time for even experienced riders to get accustomed to a new bike's handling characteristics. That's why it's not a bad idea on your first couple of rides to stick to local roads you know. Constantly recite and practice everything you learned in your training course (PLEASE take a training course). By doing so, you create and reinforce good habits that will become engrained in you and will keep you safe. As you get more comfortable, NEVER let your guard down. It is possible to actually enjoy riding while thinking and acting as if every driver on the road is dangerous moron who could kill you. It's what you don't anticipate that you should guard against that can quite literally kill you as well; e.g. riding to the right rear of a car which is travelling in the left lane can create a perfect blind spot to on coming traffic seeking to make a left turn across your lanes, even though you're back far enough where said driver up and over in the left lane can see you in his side mirror. He's NOT THE PROBLEM. It's the driver trying to turn across your lanes who could kill you. NEVER assume the motorist looking to turn across your lanes will do so safely. ALWAYS watch cross traffic at intersections because the one time you don't check, you could be killed by an idiot running a red light or stop sign. Whenever you are passing traffic on a road with two or more lanes in one direction, NEVER assume that Mr. Moron in the car near you knows you're there. Loud pipes are a bonus because a good crack of the throttle can let them know where you are, but then again, some of these drivers are so brain dead they don't even notice. NEVER ASSUME...

Dunning Kruger is real! Have my bike for two weeks and feel like I'm ready for an upgrade. I'm committed to one year before upgrading after watching this video. Thank you!

[ryanewbank]

Tip of the day..dont ride on wet paint.
Rain on road lines make them slippery as snot on a drinking glass.

[allanthebiker]

Best bit of advice I ever got from an advanced riding course I did here in the UK was to assume that every other road user is out to get you. Rise defensively, and assume every one else is drunk / stupid / not paying attention etc. Sounds a bit harsh to think that way, but its worked for me so far! Second good advice was to wear PPE on every journey, no matter how short the trip, and no matter what the weather (which over hear can change in minutes!).

Heyyyy I’m in Arizona too! Been watching a ton of “beginners” videos going to get my motorcycle endorsement this month. I’m 36 and feel like I’m late to the party but super excited to learn! Beautiful Arizona morning
