I was always told "dress for the slide, not for the ride.."

"why I should listen to this guy?"

Cause I have no idea how to ride a motorcycle.

1. Proper gear
2. Common sense
3. Leave your ego at home
4. Listen to the uploader's tips
5. Profit

I remember watching this two years ago. 20, 000+ miles under my belt now and I watched it again just for the hell of it.

I hate it when I pop the clutch and kill the engine when a red light turns green in heavy traffic. Embarrassing. Sometimes I panic and forget how to start the bike again 😬

Very helpful.
I'm 70, and just got a bike. Very well explained and demonstrated, and now all I need is the practice...

[noonewillnoo]

Not sure if anyone will see this.
I passed my CBT today.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this video it helped relax me big time.

I'm 1 minute in and your speaking skills are impressive as hell, very clear and direct without feeling scripted, feels like a buddy talking to you in person

"without further ado"
proceeds to add much more ado

I drive an 18 wheeler with 13 gears for a living and plan on getting my first bike, the thing im most worried about is the shifting! How silly 😂. Great video. Thanks for the guide!

Damm, I watched this video 3 years ago, I booked my test the next day and bought my first bike! Thankyou for getting me into this amazing world of bikes 😁

[heileyo]
