5 Techniques to Master As a New Rider
New to motorcycles?! 🏍️ This video is going to give you a handful of techniques to start developing on your own, even some before you own your first motorcycle! I bought my bike earlier this year and don't claim to know it all, but I'm hoping that what I have learned so far will be able to help you in your journey! Of course, there are many other things to learn and consider when starting out. What I am sharing are the most important ones I have dealt with so far! We all start somewhere, and there is nothing wrong with being a newbie!

    I had a smooth cop get behind me at 110, I didn’t even see him and when I’m moving like that. Of course I’m looking. Tires cold, weather cold, road a little damp. I pulled over at 110 in a 65. I guess being a vet, old and respectful paid off. He said slow down! I said No, I’ve been hit twice, not getting hit a third time. He said go and I’m documenting our visit so the next time, they likely will ticket you. Way cool! I ride a R1, I could’ve dropped a gear but conditions didn’t support that idea! Cool cop! He was a vet too

    Nice the Ninja is a great starter bike from what I hear. I am looking into the Ninja 650, which technically is a sport tourer, just because I live in a city and while the Ninja 400 is a nice bike, and a good starter entry to sport bikes, it's just too dangerous to be underpowered, but equally as dangerous to be overpowered with these absolute psychos on the roadways here.

    • @joyridemel

People driving way too fast. Then lots of dummies who will just change lanes without signaling or stopping, they just run through red lights, false stop at stop signs, and fly right through streets to catch lights, rear end you, slam on breaks, race to a light. The entitlement is insane lol
