Dude THIS is the kind of beginner content I need. Calm, collected, easy to understand. THANK YOU!!

A small tip: Be very careful in gas station parking lots, especially after a rain.
They are often times very slick from spilled fuel, and both braking and accelerating can be dangerous.

I'm in my 40s and decided I want to make my dream about riding a motorcycle come true ;] I'm very nervous as I've never sat on one, and licence tests in Europe are very hard to pass. Your videos are very helpful !

Youtube reccomendations are again beeing useful ... I never had motorcycle, i'm planning to get one myself till next summer, and this one is my 1st choice ... When i asked some question in motorcycle forums, many are making fun of me because i want this Indian .Still didn't watch video till end, i wonder what you're gonna say...

Good video, but three important things are still missing:
1) The motorcycle is heavy. Even the lightest and smallest one is of excess of 250 pounds! You briefly mentioned that, but the new rider must be aware of that so not to drop it out of surprise. I myself nearly dropped the bike the first time I got on it because I didn’t expect it to be THAT heavy.
2) High speed turns are made by primarily counter steering. This is extremely important. So many people don’t know that. I almost crashed during one of my first rides because I forgot about it and I was essentially steering the bike the opposite way! I think this must be stressed several times to let people remember that very important aspect of riding.
3) Even though the controls of the motorcycle are way more simple than of the car, a short walkthrough around all the controls like turn indicators, lights, and horn would be not only entertaining, but also helpful to show the riders-to-be that there’s nothing insanely difficult or complicated there.
In any case, thank you for the video, and it was enjoyable to watch even not for the beginner. Cheers from Vietnam!

This explanation reduced a lot of my anxiety around getting a new bike and actually made it feel possible for me. Thank you for this!

[BraydenGuerra-cuci]

The part where you said riding a motorcycle may be easier balanced than a bicycle made my anxiety of getting one fade away

[michaelgraber]

Thanks. Im 38 and have never rode a bike before. I'm getting one soon so trying to learn everything i can.

[ekaterinayasukevich]

Thank you so much for making the video. Very informative. My dad gave me away his old Suzuki intruder 1500 and I’m 5’4” tall. Pray for me please 🙏 😂

Haven’t rode any dirt bikes or quads in years. This year I’ll be getting my first bike. So grateful for understanding and quality teachers like this guy. Thanks man!

[frankrobinson]

Great video. Experienced bikers may laugh at how basic this is, but vids like this are extremely helpful to the new riders.

I recently bought a boat and never boated before. I never found anything like this for boating and could have benefitted from a basic beginner video.

Kudos to you and that is a beautiful Indian you have my friend.

I must be a weirdo, because I’ve been riding for 12 years and just love watching any video about bikes that comes across my feed. Great video!

[iankieme]

This is actually perfect and makes it so much simpler. Thank you so much!

[Bashzworld]

I actually started riding back about two years ago without any experience what so ever i watched a vid similar to this one and it was VERY helpful this guy covers everything in great details very educational and simple…

Hey squarewhite, your explànation of "learning how to ride" was a great visual, and, verbal tutorial on how it's done-NEWB here and I like to always stay up on my skills level. Your video presentation does that work perfectly, and, helps to remove nearly all the "nervous Nellie" out of the equation! Keep up the great work in helping new riders become "confident" riders!🏍️👍😁⭐😜🏍️🐻 Doug, and, I just started riding properly just over a year ago.

I need to fly this guy out to come chill with me and teach. He has the patience of doing this video. I just got my first bike and this is a great video.

[MJPGuitar]

This was a great video. I’ve always wanted to ride and this year I’m finally taking the steps towards getting my permit/license and a bike. I’m looking at just getting a used 250cc for now. Fortunately my last car was a manual, so a lot of this video really clicked for me in terms of clutch/shifting. Thanks again.

[Kevo_]

Beautiful. Thank you. I lost a buddy back in 98 and another has a crazy accident maybe 17 years ago, but I always had a secret passion for bikes. This was very cool of you.

[oveynazmul]

I was struggling with understanding downshift from a high gear high speed. Your video clears that up. You have a good one buddy

[mysterybox]

For someone who has barely ever ridden a motorcycle this explanation and the chill music calms my nerves a lot haha
