OC: I've been nervous as all hell about starting to ride but this is making my confidence go way up! Thanks Chase!

OC/ I'm a 51 yr old new rider and have not left the parking lot yet and these videos are helping me become more comfortable.

[Motosophia]

OC: I'm technically not old enough to buy a bike but you can never start your research too young. I started this series and didn't know how in depth you would go and it truly was amazing, thanks Chase!

[matthewthorn]

OC: As a new rider this is a really great series. I learnt that if you shift in to gear with the kickstand down, it will cut the motor off and not send you flying.

[josephmurphy]

OC: I've watched so many beginner videos, I feel like I'm getting more anxious not less. I do appreciate them though because I'm learning a lot.

OC: “Cutting the bike in half” really clicked for me. Shift gears on the left, stop and go on the right. I’m a first time rider. Just bought my bike and I’m taking a class in a couple weeks. Also, grateful that you’re using an R7 in the lesson. I purchased an R6 so it’s like I’m learning to specifically ride my bike. Looking forward to the entire series but I’m going to rewatch this one.

OC!! I just bought my first bike (Kawasaki Ninja 650) I’m preparing to take the course l, meanwhile, I’ve watched about five videos made by other people before I found this series you go way more in detail about everything. The main thing I learned that separates this from others is splitting the bike in half! I love that concept it’ll make it much easier to learn the controls now that I know left side is for shifting and right side is braking/accelerating. Thank you for making these videos and helping us new riders learn the basics!!

[michaelebraham]

OC : Just realized that through following your content and watching this series I am one step closer to materializing the dream I woke up from - that I should own a motorcycle and enjoy all that it offers.

P.S. I did actually wake up from a dream 2 weeks ago and some masked bandit in it told me to own a motorcycle 🏍 🤔

I just want to say thank you chase for making this series. I am getting a bike in 2 days and honestly have no idea what im doing. So cool to be learning from you as well since ive been here through you and yummy moto vlogging together years ago so thank you for the confidence to get on 2 wheels!

[bri.atxR]

OC: I am so excited to be on two wheels. Your vids are giving me the confidence needed. One thing I didn’t know, was the 30/70% on braking. Good to know!

[p.chakraborty]

OC: Dude this series is really good and helpful! !! Nailed it C2W team !!

[jothew]

I love how dumby proof u make everything I definitely will b watch every episode u have on how to ride n just wanna give u a huge thank u for helping us newbies out

[poyzn_iv]

you dropping this series was perfect timing for me 🙌🏻

[retrodefault]

OC: 21 year old dude here. I've never even touched a bike, much less riden one, but I totally want to ride someday and go on trips and whatnot, so this series is gonna be a huge help for me. Thanks so much, and I'm looking forward to it!

[BigJohnTavioSTG]

OC: my buddy has a bike and I’ve driven quads multiple times hunting, breaking it down to splitting the bike in half to gears and gas/ breaks helped me get a genuine idea on how to start (never driven or road raged)
Thanks buddy 👋

[cydian]

OC! I would just like to say thank you. I’ve yet to buy my first bike, but I’m really looking forward to it, and while I struggle to enjoy education, you’ve made learning easy for me. i appreciate this series, and I can’t wait to join you on the road one day brother

[marcosgonzalezcastro]

OC: Just got my first class yesterday with my father-inlaw and fell hitting my knee, he didn't explained that pressing the clutch would help me slowing the bike down, while taking a turn I stopped turning the throttle and the bike turned off abruptly, causing me to fail the turn and the bike dropped on the left side, best teaching video I've seen

[chrisc]

OC: I've been on a sports bike one time, with a 5m primer in a parking lot about 24 years ago. It didn't go great, but wasn't a disaster. Here I am 24 years later, kids gone and grown FINALLY looking to get into riding at 45 years old. Better late than never I guess. Thanks for your content and videos, I know this series is a bit older by now, the machines might have changed model years, but the basics are the same. Looking forward to more of your video's and finishing this series. My MSF is already scheduled and paid for and I can't wait, it's been a long time coming.

[samnjami]

OC: I am starting to ride this year. So excited. I’ve ridden before but a really long time ago and these videos have been so helpful.

[Skrpunk]

Thank you so much for creating this Learn to Ride series. I took the MSF course this weekend and passed! I had zero motorcycle experience. I watched this series for months on repeat to prepare me for what to expect. It really help me grasp the basic beginner motorcycle skills.
