    I do occasionally downshift into first gear, and I ALWAYS use the rear brake with the front brake because done properly, you’ll stop sooner. Nice to see new riders on cool bikes! Food/coffee reviews in metro ATL are appreciated (I’m over there for work a lot). I’ve been riding constantly since 2014, FYI, and I have a Triumph Speed Triple 1050RS and a Vespa scooter (and three other bikes). I found you because I’m contemplating a Scrambler 900.

    I feel like we need to talk 😅 I did my driving license some 25 years ago, but never got a bike. That time has come and I have decided to get one next year. My attention was grabbed by Royal Enfield and in particular the 411 Scram - for its character and simplicity. Also the 350 modes are lovely, but I cannot help the impression that at times I might become a nuisance for car drivers on faster B roads here in Germany. Only very recently I started to wonder whether some nice modern classic bike might be a better choice. Interceptor 650, Kawasaki W800, the 900 Triumph 2 cylinder family. I am not that worried about ‘too much power’ as I think my head can handle it, I am more wondering about the weight. What would be your take in that?

    • @MOTOStruck
      @MOTOStruck 9 днів тому

      On my opinion every bike handles differently but weight is a huge contributing factor. My triumph scrambler weighs over 500 lb with a full tank and fluids so it is a fairly heavy bike but it is manageable because it is relatively low to the ground. The weight is just something to get use to and is more of a hassle at slow speeds but none the less something that with a little practice you will get use to and overcome quickly. If you are a new rider I would always recommend something lighter though as counter steering is easier and so is maneuvering at slow speeds.

      That is awesome and I’m glad your enjoyed the video! I’d say you’ll learn more with practice but never to force yourself to lean into a turn, just let it happen naturally and counter steer as you go. The other thing is to look at where your tires are wearing and if it’s near the edge you may be pushing to to the limit already

      Agree with you on that one, what a great way to put it! And bigger is not always better I had a monkey and that was a blast but I do enjoy having the power to get me out of situations created by other riders here in Atlanta! That said riding a slower bike fast is 100% better than riding a fast bike slow so ppl with the 1000cc sport bikes is asking for trouble in my opinion!

    I am in the proces of becoming a biker. Since I became employed and my life got busier because I am living now with my gf. I dont have time for myself everyday now but once or twice per week I will find time to go for a ride with my future bike, just enjoy an hour or two with myself and the motorcycle, reset the mind, live in the corners and that will be my hobby for me. I think everyone needs to have something on their own, thats where the happines comes from with which you affect the world around you - your family, partner, friends, workmates etc...

    I just started riding. I have the same bike as you. I have a similar experience as you when im riding. Im paying attention to everything that is currently happening on the road to ensure that im having a safe ride. Its like putting a pause on life, and I love it. The feeling I have after riding during the reflection process is great for me as well. I agree with your opinion on owning a motorcycle. Its not a full problem solver, but it does have a medicinal effect to ones mind. I wanted to ask what mic setup you are using? I can hear your voice clearly, and I can also hear the sound of the bike perfectly in the background. Your setup seems perfect. Great vid!

    This is really bad "advice" Have you ever been in an accident? Sometimes it's not your fault, sometimes it doesn't matter how safe you were riding. You can be going 25mph and get hit by a car going the same speed and it will definitely fuck you up. You don't have the credentials to be saying anything like this with any real confidence.

    • @MOTOStruck
      @MOTOStruck 3 місяці тому

      You are right, I have not crashed and have only been riding for a few years so I may not have the credentials. That said, I am simply encouraging anyone who rides to buy the gear that they will actually take the time to put on and wear each time they go out (as safe as you can be as some gear is better than none).

    Yes everything is handled by risk factor and slamming into a truck 60mph will most likely kill you regardless if u wear gear or not, but statistically most motorcycle crashes happen in low speed, even sliding on the tarmac at 20mph gives you insane roadrash. So ATGATT is there to protect you from those kind of crashes, i think not doing ATGATT is just a poor excuse nowdays considering the variety of motorcycle gear such as armored hoodies, armored underwear, Jeans, casual reinforced shoes. Id consider ATTGATT as insurance, you can ride for 20 years without an accident but oh boy you wish u had ur gear on when u hit that patch of sand making you lowside at 40mph

    • @MOTOStruck
      @MOTOStruck 3 місяці тому

He wears it all the time, even when he isnt on a motorcycle because its not a hassle to put on. if it rains he just put a raincoat over his sweater and boom waterproof obviously there are extremes to ATGATT like full track suits and boots but i feel like those are ment for doing trackday or illegal speeds, not some casual riding getting to the store and back
