Hi Dan, The red colored road you questioned is popping up anywhere where I live. The idea is to provide more protection for bicycles as well as horseriders. The idear is that you keep centered in both directions riding the imagery centerline and only break your line to your right when giving place for incoming traffic. The opposing traffic does the same. In the case you are coming up behind a bicycle or a horse you should keep behind them in case of opposing traffic. The opposing traffic is also allowed to cross the line to their right when giving place for you. Ofcause overtaking other cars or mc's is prohibited when riding these roads beside very slow moving vehicles like tractors. It is actually work as a charm and is far more safer for light trafficants opposed to the older center line roads. Hope I make some sense. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Horse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though it is often much of the same, it remains educational and yet also somewhat entertaining. If you ride in a group, we always say "you ride your own ride! You are responsible for your own actions, we drive on a public road!”
19:48 if you locked up your rear break you need to wait until the bike is straightened before releasing the break or you will highside and be ejected from the bike faster than you can say “hoooten nanny”
Not if you gradually release it, so it gradually catches, as opposed to grabs immediately... It also depends on how far you've gone sideways.. It's absolutely possible to lock up the rear without it sliding out far to te side if you're not cornering... and then letting go is your best bet... (So if you lock the rear when going straight..) Best way to find out what to do is do the advanced riding course that addresses sliding with bike.. You get a bike with very long sidewheels so you can try out how far you can go... without eating tarmac... (I'm Dutch, I'm not sure what it's called over there, in Dutch it would be "Slipcursus voor motor") You get to play with a bike with very long sidewheels on one of the white slippery patches... It's very fun and very useful to learn not to panic and learn what you actually should do if you find your tires sliding on your bike...
@@jazzdirt i have seen some videos expressing the content that you proclaimed. mostly about whether abs is better than humans when it comes to stopping distance while full braking. it is probably common sense not to release the brake like a noobie does a clutch but yessir i agree that you shouldnt snappingly release the brake while you are sliding. it also makes sense that you would want to gradually release the brake so that the tire can catch back up to speed while also slowing you down! also i think so training wheels look super scary! ive never dropped a bike while doing my motorcycle safety course and i definitely wouldnt want to put too much faith in the training wheels!
@@jazzdirt What I do not understand is why any1 would use their rear brake to slow the bike down in the 1st place. I was taught to use the rear brake as last after 1st using the front just so you don't lock up rear wheel and loose power.
@@gavinnance4475 I've never had ABS on a bike... Riding for over 30 years.. Managed to keep the shiny side up except for once... (Someone was coming out of a driveway, surrounded by 2m high hedges. Still setting their navigation... They only started looking at the road when their car was already at the road-median.. I managed to avoid hitting the car, but found myself having to emergency brake while on a convex curb of the median.. My front tire slipped even under controlled progressive braking and my shoulder landed exactly on the curb.. I wasn't even going 30km/h at the time. There was just no more traction left in the tires because of the angle I was on while balancing the convex curb... In retrospect I should have just hit the car, because the car was gone when I got up. My bike and shoulder were f-ed.) But I still consider seeing asphalt up close just once in over 30 years of riding a pretty good "score".
If you lock up the rear brake, let off of it. However do not let off of it if your back tire has begun to swing out, because the bike could abruptly straighten and cause a highside.
I just came here to say thankyou for these videos I got my first bike yesterday and was hopping on the highway and an 18 wheeler has like an axle or hub blow up there was like 4 wheels rolling around on the road had to a little split second of oh shit then thought about my braking and where my escape path was unfortunately I didn't have a camera on my helmet so cant shear the moment but I'm pretty sure if I hadn't watch a lot of your videos before getting my bike I would have panicked and ended up getting hit by one of the stray wheels
The guy hit his leg on the asphalt, that's why his boot tore up and he lost control. You can see it after he crashes, his boots are ripped from the forward indicating that he hit his foot on the asphalt.
The one that hit the white suv shouldn't complain about abs being needed, they had time to slow down, it's simply the fact he slammed the brakes! Looked like if he had braked smoothly or not so aggressively he wouldn't have hit them!
I can't believe some of these bikers are behaving the way they do with a camera,yeh maybe not record yourself if your a knob or maybe just be the better man 😂
Just because something is legal, does not mean it is safe. Lane splitting is dumb. (most of the time) You are riding for fun, not to get somewhere faster. Chill and live longer.
Great video. I just want to say this. You have to be an idiot to lane split at speed. How did that ever get passed in Cali. I just can't see a safe way to execute that maneuver. Too many variables that are completely out of your control.
close your eyes and open up the throttle and hope you miss the cars. Though I would never do that on my motorbike as it's a slow RE Himalayan 411cc. way to slow to even think about white lining.
@@jg26547 but car accidents and dangers are so normalised that we don't notice them in everyday life, even though they are incredibly prevalent. Whereas motorcycling, biking, etc. are not and thus the same dangers are seen as unacceptable and exceptional.
I agree he tries to get too technical and makes common sense knowledge seem so complicated but the constant stream of videos showing crashes is proof that riding is dangerous and that people drive AND ride like idiots.
7:00 you can tell them to slow down and wait and be embarrassed or you can dump the bike and be embarrassed while they wait around for you to get a tow. either way you're embarrassed and theyre waiting but it'd be better to still be on your bike🤷♂
22:10 isn't an open lane pattern. It is an overtake on the wrong side of the road without visibility and across a pedestrian crossing. Dreadful riding. A little patience was needed there.

I'd link some stuff, but that's not allowed here. But there's probably similar courses you can follow there..

tq,your vid realy saves me,last week im almost hitting a porcupine,i do avoid hitting it by swaying my bike and slowly hit the rear brakes slowly.
The red toyota should not have even attempted to merge there, it's a full white line.
I'm a new rider and the tip and advice has been helping me a lot thank you.

That first one looked like a "had to layer downagh!" Moment
Beware fresh rainfall. A little oil on the road is like ice.
Yup, if someone forgot to close their fuel cap on a diesel car or truck, it's like very colorful black ice...

Knobbies let go ever so slightly under acceleration on the first one.. And then he went straight to brown stage.. and overreacted...
I just broke my foot from hitting a cone on the highway at night… wear boots
Vans aren’t appropriate motorcycle footwear
Who cuts through like that white car bro? Lame

It’s safer to filter PROPERLY than to get rear ended by an incompetent driver
I'd rather nick a side mirror than get sandwiched between 2 vehicles.
There is a safe way to lane split, and it CAN potentially be safer.
The incident that happened at 9:13 is in my home town! Lombard, IL, Northwest suburbs of Chicago

I used to like this guy before he accused me of fraud
What happened?
making motorcycling seem like the most dangerous and hardest thing in the world for clicks
Didn't you learn this stuff in a defensive driving class? None of this is really new or hyper specific to motorcycles.
@@jg26547 but car accidents and dangers are so normalised that we don't notice them in everyday life, even though they are incredibly prevalent. Whereas motorcycling, biking, etc. are not and thus the same dangers are seen as unacceptable and exceptional.
pretty much every good safety instructional class will do that. You focus on everything that can go wrong, even if it's unlikely.

24:00 what is that construction?
23:53 Bikers fault. The white car had the right of way
I think there is a stop sign for the white SUV. We can't see because it's facing towards them. Motorcycle don't have stop because it's main Street
@@NareshReg Yes, I think You are right. I saw the road markings for biker, but not the sign for the SUV. From behind it looks like STOP sign
It's certainly the biker's fault that he stopped in the middle of the intersection to blow his horn.
I love the thumbnail breaks hahaha.
22:10 isn't an open lane pattern. It is an overtake on the wrong side of the road without visibility and across a pedestrian crossing. Dreadful riding. A little patience was needed there.
Why did the full leathers guy with the black bike fall in that tight turn? Did he lean too hard and the tire couldn’t grip?
