I Bought a Motorcycle But I Don’t Know How To Ride

My first time on a motorcycle! In this video I will be learning how to ride a Honda Rebel 300. I just bought this bike and I wanted to share my journey as I learn how to ride. I am a total beginner when it comes to riding motorcycles! So this video will show me learning the basics of riding and practicing short exercises with the bike.

A big shoutout to Dave for teaching me how to ride and being so patient with me! To teach me how to ride a motorcycle for the first time, I was told to practice walking with the bike in neutral to get a feel for the weight and then I learned how to slowly roll off the clutch. I was very happy with how quickly I was able to pick things up. I plan on uploading a playlist of my riding progress (shifting gears, turns, increasing my speed, quick stops) so keep an eye out for that!

As an experienced rider, cherish these moments, feel the adrenaline, and enjoy the learning! I miss this feeling of not knowing and uncertainty when I ride my bike.

I won’t be the person who mentions that you need at least a mesh jacket, gloves, and a more protective helmet. I’ve crashed at 30mph and even at that low speed, you don’t want your skin grinding on tarmac.

I'm a 60 year old guy who is blessed with a sister who knew my one wish was to get a motorcycle. Things worked out, so she got me one. These videos are inspiring me as I come back to riding after 42 years. Have fun Rea, I'm right there with you.

Fun to watch a young lady experience the joy of motorcycles. I've been riding a long time and have been hit by two crazy drivers. I always ride defensively, but sometimes there's no way out. Riding in town can be a real challenge with all the aggressive drivers. Get up early and get onto rural roads and enjoy the fresh air and mother nature. It's really a blast after you get the hang of it.

When I took my riding course, there was this petite girl in the class and she turned out to be the best rider out of all of us. I was very impressed. It’s cool to see you start your journey. A few months from now you will look back and see how far you’ve come!

I know others have said this, but I want to reinforce that developing familiarity with the friction zone on your clutch is one of the best things you can do early on to increase your confidence on the bike. You got this! Once the controls become second nature it's absurd how good it feels to just cruise around on two wheels. You're going to love it.

[davidanderson]

Anyone who truly enjoys riding has to love this video. Seeing how excited you were on starting it alone is heart warming. I don't care how you came about getting the bike and whether you had years of experience or none at all, what matters is that you had a goal, you wanted to get on the road and you made it happen. Hats off, enjoy!

[stevenwright]

That's a great first bike. Perfect to learn on, and Hondas are legendary for their quality of build and reliability.

[kosta]

The look of pure joy on your face when that engine started... Priceless!

[icewallowcome]

The bike community will watch your channel with interest

[Motortreadlands]

Riding is so much fun! I'm 65 now and back to riding. But make sure you wear the right motorcycle gear. Road burn really hurts!

[gabrielaperezgalindo]

I’ve been wanting to buy one for a long time. There are few women who ride a motorcycle and this video is very inspiring to me. It’s the sign I was waiting for. Thank you, Rea✨

[AS-ngpi]

The joy when using the throttle for the first time ever...priceless! So fun to see that pure reaction!

[ctortsz]

I am looking at getting my first bike ever and this video just gave me the motivation I needed to go for it and learn. Total Beginner I look forward to this new journey and community.

[keithjones]

I am impressed by your willingness to share your journey and to be this vulnerable and risk so much ridiculous judgement. BTW you are brave and awesome and have a spectacular life ahead. Count me a fan….

[spittyrides]

You just got yourself a subscriber. I started learning how to ride a motorcycle myself earlier this month. I've slowly been building up my confidence with short, controlled rides in wide-open spaces. It's amazing how much of a feel you get for your bike only after the first couple of rides. Love the content!

[DemonRuby]

I don't know why it's so satisfying to watch this video but I just keep re-watching it 100 times with no shame 😃 Maybe because I can relate to your reactions, excitement, uncertainty and you're closer to my age group as well ☺I too got into motorcycles all of a sudden. I got to be a passenger few times and since then, I swear I've been obsessed with motorcycles, even the sound of exhaust sends shivers down my spine. I want to learn how to ride and I know I will, sooner or later. Safe ride y'all ❤

[bigjermify]

Your clutch is your best friend. When in doubt clutch it out have fun and be safe.

I admire a women that is willing to do and learn something outside of her comfort zone, learn something different a regular women wouldn't dare to do or wouldn't want to learn. Mechanics, riding a motorcycle... you name it. Respect for you and welcome to the 🏍 community.

That is a great beginner bike. I bought my first ever bike 2020 after having the license for 38 years and never have ridden a motorcycle since 1983 and it was a Honda Rebel 500 from 2020. You will have a lot of fun with this great little bike. You already know, that you always should wear proper gear and so nothing stands between you and having fun riding your little Rebel. Your friend is doing a great job too. He is very calm, what is very important. I am doing the same with my wife who first learned riding a scooter and now is in the process of learning to ride a bike with clutch and gears. So I am looking forward to more of your videos.
