I love these "first ride home" videos. It just goes to show that everyone feels nervous that first time.

[guy]

AH man I picked up my first bike yesterday and rode it 1 hour home. Most terrifying and excited I have ever been. Nice video.

[GixxerRider]

I was instantly reminded of my first ride out on public roads. Anyone who says they're not nervous their first time is either lying or just too dumb to know any better. After my first year in the saddle, riding felt as natural as breathing. Good luck, and nice bike!

[JuuustYeet]

one of the few "ride home from dealership" that actually respects the breaking in of the bike, bravo

[MyLife-ogkr]

The thing about stalling I think is people don't know how to listen to their motor. I drove manual cars since I could drive, which is half my life. Listening to the motor won't easy at first, but once you get acclimated, you won't forget it. I never rode a bike til last month, but I've never stalled once. It's the same concept. Don't be afraid to roll on the throttle while squeezing your clutch. Motorcycles are way more forgiving and if you have a motorcycle that runs wet, even better.

Its nice seeing actual new bikers ride their new rides. You can actually feel the tension & adrenaline. I can already see myself in the near future =)

[jaybou]

Kudos to this dude for having the cojones to put that online. It went actually pretty swiftly! Your first ride will, indeed, be scary and confusing. Chances are you will forget half of what you learned with your MSF course or equivalent. Just take your time, chill out and enjoy your new poison.

Because yes, from that point forward, you WILL invest way too much time and money into biking. But you WILL have the time of your life.

You’re one of us, now. Welcome to the eternal realm of always being broke and smile about it.

[TheRealRaptor]

the shaking hands really got me its so fun to see the nervousness. keep it up man, you will do great out there

[Raxzor_DK]

What a great video. While watching the video, all my memories of my first ride “on my own” came back to me. It was a 49 miles trip from the dealer, and all the employees and mechanics came out, to wish me a safe trip home from the dealership. Will never forget that moment !

Ride safe and enjoy all the wonderful things about the life on two wheels !

[artofroy]

This is now my new favorite videos watching people ride their motorcycle for the 1st time. I remember mine nervously trying to handle my clutch & gear up/down cuz it's really old style manual with my father guiding me.

[krosfyah]

Just got my first bike - a little Vespa 150cc but it’s amazing and scary. I live in NYC so the driving here is insane and other drivers are all out to get you, but it also opens up freedom.

The first time I did 50mph it felt like I was a racer in Formula 1, it was insane.

[hunterjg]

This was similar to my experience, passed my test then straight on my bike the same day. You can see the difference in test standards in the UK vs some other countries. Still some anxiety but can tell you have had a lot of lessons and had no problem with procedures, road positioning, and approaching at the right speed etc. Unlike Americans where their exam is a quick ride in a car park then a pass certificate lol.

[theosone]

Oh I know that feeling. Awesome memories.. I did my course on a same bike, the sound of that engine gives me goosebumps.. Since I did my license a year ago I rode 14k km and 5 countries. I wish you all the best, safe rides!

[grizzlyguy_]

What a great video. Just from the way he is riding the motorcycle you can tell its of relatively new experience, but thats refreshing to see given all the videos of guys ripping and tearing on their bikes of choice. Very wholesome content here, enjoyed this and used this in preparation of buying my very own first bike. Thank you.

[don_alex_]

so happy you got a new bike bro, just know that low rev - high gear will kill your bike little by little.

Don't be afraid to go one gear lower with more RPM. this way you have more space to engine brake too!

[A_Oxyde]

Gotta love the super short shift of the first time riding. Being used to a car I can totally see why people (including me) do that as first instinct. Let those RPM rise!

[gunnr]

Oh man, good memories! All the adrenaline pumping and feeling happy and scared at the same time! First time twisting the throttle more than half and feeling the surge of the engine, PRICELESS! Enjoy your bike, and keep the rubber on the asphalt! ✌

[flinttk]

This is fun to watch. I can feel the nervousness and excitement.
I'll be having my first bike too 2wks after my 34th birthday.

[gammash]

I'm a beginner and also have to ride my new Suzuki GSX S1000 GT home from the dealership at 4PM.
My heart is pumping since 7am.
Thanks for sharing

[TheRealJohnMadden]

I've been riding for close to 20 years and I still love watching these videos, reminds me of all the "first rides" I've had buying bikes from a dealer. For some reason, riding off a lot is a whole lot more stressful than riding from a private sale.
