Riding a motorcycle in TRAFFIC for the FIRST TIME! | Learn to Ride a MOTORCYCLE Series - Ep 05

Welcome to the most dangerous part of riding a motorcycle...the streets. In my experience riding, I find that introducing over car drivers to the motorcycle equation is THE most dangerous part of riding and that's because they DONT SEE YOU! In our final episode of this Learn to RIDE series I give you guys some of my top tips to enjoy riding your motorcycle on the road as safely as possible. We also tackle some topics like countersteering!

I never felt more naked in my life than the first time I sat at a red light in traffic without wearing my car.

Yo Chase I think i speak for a lot of people when I say that a video on "how to read cars" would be SUPER useful for new riders.

I’ve been riding motorcycles of all types for more than 15+ years but I still learn things from videos like these.

As someone who just started taking motorcycle lessons I am a bit scared to ride in traffic even though I've been driving cars for 10 years. The biggest fear I think we have as riders are cars. So watching someone ride and explain things as they go really helps with anxiety. Thank you!

6:10 I *highly* recommend staying in gear and using the clutch and front brake (for stopping, hold rear brake when stopped) as he said after this. If something happens and you need to get out of the way immediately, it could be the literal difference between life and death.

I watched this out of curiosity. I been on bikes for 22 years, and it NEVER hurts to refresh yourself. New rider or a seasoned veteran, everyone could use a refresher course, might even learn a new skill. I noticed, you ride exactly like I do. Yeah sometimes I get a little wild, but as my dad said “You have to get the big picture when driving and riding.” Best thing he ever taught me. And what he meant by that, ALWAYS look/watch ahead, behind, to your right and left, notice everything. Awesome video, super helpful.

the distance between you and the car in front of you at a traffic light is very important. If someone hits you from behind and you are too close to the car in front of you, you can end up between two cars and be seriously injured. So please keep extra distance at traffic lights

Truck driving for the past 10 years has done the same thing to me, I can predict the moves of most cars before they even make they move now.
That applies to one I'm in the truck, on the bike, or the rare occasion that I'm in my cager.

Just binged watch this entire series. Loved it cant wait to start riding my bike.

[maxpower]

40, been wanting a bike all my life, pulling the trigger this year, can't wait any longer. Thanks for the tips.

[bryngaondemand]

This series is great! But from an agency, we must tip our hats on the cinematography / production on the videos, great job. love the small details of the second/3rd angles and showing no videographer when the camera switches back. Love it.

[Ecoteric]

A big thank you to folks like you that educate new riders on the tricks of trade and good habits of riding to help folks stay safe and in control of their ride. You're the man!

[callumcollopy-smith]

I have been riding for 16 years now and still enjoyed watching this series. Great work in helping riders be safe I would recommend these to any new comers for sure. Well done and keep up the great content

I totally understand your point about not being able to learn without busy traffic when living in a big city. I live in central London. My solution- riding late at night. It’s an amazing feeling to ride the streets that are usually bumper to bumper when they are totally empty. Very well lit too.

[enkay]

I do not usually comment on videos but, this is one of the best videos I have seen on riding a motorcycle in traffic. As a new rider had a lot of concerns about taking the bike to the road and this video was amazing. Lot of important information. Thank you for putting out this content.

[maiorov.m]

I am really glad that more experienced riders share thier experience. That's the stuff we need. This spring I bought my first motorcycle and before I went riding I was looking up the info how stay alive on the road and guys like him makes it easier. Thanks a lot!

[eliasvasquez]

I really loved this series. I am going to start riding soon and honestly after watching these videos I can say I am a lot more confident about riding even though I have minimal experience. Thank you man this has really helped me and I am going to start the msf course soon. You are awesome and I am looking at getting an R7 as well.

I've been watching your channel for quite a few years now, before I even got my learners permit for a car. Ive finally got my Motorcycle License and bought my first Motorcycle. Just wanted to thank you so much for your help, and Inspiration up to now. Keep up the great work, Ride safe, And much love!!

[terrylafauci]

I'd just like to say thank you for doing these videos, man. The prospect of learning to ride is somewhat daunting, especially for some like me who has never been on anything with 2 wheels and a motor.
