      That's NOT how you teach a noob how verify your in neutral!
      With the engine OFF, you attempt to rock the bike back and forth verifying that it rolls freely.
      The way you taught him is how you get whiskey throttle.
      Granted once experienced is gained you learn to use 1st as a ""parking brake" and you can grab neutral after you have started it.

With the clutch, you decide how much of that power you want to transfer to the wheel. Then I showed her the "only noise" trick you did here to show my point.

They didn't teach you how to ride but rather expected you to hop on, know the basics, take off and complete the course. It was very challenging and discouraging as a beginner.

    As a fairly recent MSF course grad and having not ridden a motorcycle in over 20 years (rode dirtbikes quite a bit as a teen).... I can relate to a lot of the things Derrick was experiencing. The weird feelings do go away with practice of the basic skills. I highly recommend finding a parking lot near you and practice the things that you learned in MSF using your motorcycle. The motorcycle I rode in the MSF course is VERY different than my motorcycle in terms of how the controls feel. I also recommend learning to mostly ignoring your dash except for maybe an occasional quick glance at the speedometer. Looking at the dash too much is a distraction you don't need. You will learn pretty quickly which gear you are in by counting them and by the speed and sound of the bike. Good vibes from this video.

    AMAZING! i've been riding for 13 years and I still remember my first time on a bike, I would have loved to have you guys teaching me. in the UK our CBT course doesnt go into anywhere near as much detail as you are doing. We basically go from sitting on the bike to doing slaloms and figure 8's in 30 mins. Then we learn to shift gears. All my fine clutch control has come from riding on my own in slow moving traffic and car park manuvers. Great work in your teaching. Absolutly love how you teach all the little details.

    I like the power walking. What a great idea. I was forced to get my feet onto pegs ASAP.

    I did not watched the video yet, but the answer is yes. I was a total beginner and had never been on a bike. I watched all the yammie noob videos and passed the MSF course and got my first bike last summer. I felt surprisingly prepared during the course. MUCH THANKS Yammie

    As a beginner rider myself seeing this just makes me smile. However the video that helped me the most about handling my bike was the video about skipping the MSF course in an hour. Where Spite was riding the Honda rebel 1100

    I taught my kids to drive a manual car and a motorcycle.
    I started with the clutch. As you pointed out you control the power with the clutch.
    If you get throttle-shock the 1st thing I taught them was to pull in the clutch.

    Seeing a lot of comments from the UK, many saying that the slow guide into using the clutch wasn’t shown to them, I did my CBT 19.5 years ago but I remember the instructor teaching me almost exactly the same as YAM, a gentle intro to how a clutch works and step by step getting to moving, then feet up, then throttle, brings back memories

      Yeah no they expect us to get the hang of it in like half an hour. Ended up failing my first cbt because the girl I was doing it with had experience and I had none so I couldn’t keep up. Instructor basically gave me 20 mins and was like no

    I bought my first bike, a 2016 ninja 300, with no knowledge of how to ride at all. Watched a few videos then gave it a go in my back yard 😆 after 20 or 30 minutes of that, I “graduated” to the straight road I live on, to go a mile and a half to a school parking lot where I practiced clutch control, starting and stopping, and shifting gears. Two days later, I did a little ride around some simple roads close to home. That was all it took for me to learn the basics. I can definitely say I’m glad I started on a smaller displacement bike, I could see myself getting hurt otherwise

    Thanks for this one! Your best beginner video yet! Helped me remember some stuff from riding dirt bikes as a teen. Late 60's-early 70's. I can remember enough from those days to agree with you on the point of small is better in the beginning. But, that said, I've wanted a Hogley Davidstone Sportster really bad since Then Came Bronson came on our old B&W TV in the late 60's. I just gotta get a blue Sportster! Odd that the little Benelli I started on looked more like a cafe bike with knobby tires than a dirt bike? It was fun though! Especially on the track we set up around a large farmers field behind my buddy's house. The backstretch was long enough to get up to like 45MPH. Wind in my face, cheap sunglasses...flying in the wind...oh yeah! I'm 66, married with older children. 2 of which have bikes recently. Hearing the sounds, seeing the moves brought back so much. Thanks for the memories!!!

    This is great! Would have been helpful a week ago. I had (and dropped out, due to extreme heat) my BRC last week. I'm going to redo it in the fall when it's not 115 degrees outside. Thought I was going to have a heat stroke and kept messing up the worse the heat got.

    I remember it took my a little while during my msf to realize I needed to add throttle while I'm letting out the clutch, instead of waiting untill the clutch is out.

    I’ve taught a few people how to ride motorcycles and most of the were very successful, i had them riding around and able to change gears up and down within an hour. But there was this one girl who i tried to teach on my old grom and when it came to putting it all together she forgot everything i told her and wheelied the bloody thing up and curb and into a tree. She was alright but it just shows that not everyone has the discipline and focus it takes to ride. Anyway great video guys and nice job Derek hopefully we’ll see another rider out of you.

    I remember I was 13 and my dad threw me on a crf150, bike wasn’t idling and had basically no front brakes I climbed on and he explained to me the gears and how I had to have the clutch in while shifting and while stopping. Fell over first time I started moving and popped the clutch the second time that really got my blood pumping that day and started something😅

    btw in the MSF course when they first have u apply throttle they had me apply gas a bit of gas BEFORE starting to release so we wouldn't worry about movement of the throttle while moving already.

    Watching this I’m realizing that my friends verbally explaining the controls, and then me just hopping on and riding, was a bit of a crazy way to learn… but damn it was fun to hop on a bike for the first time and just get after it. If I’m ever teaching someone I’m using these drills… great video.

    My next step in my own learning is getting comfortable shifting. I still need to get proper gear, so I'm probably gonna see about getting gloves, a jacket, boots from you guys, but I'm also gonna get riding jeans with those armor inserts, just to feel a little more protected.

  • @iamcecilman

    very useful, I have friends who are confident drivers in the scope of using cars to the most basic A to B effect, who also want me to teach them to ride motorcycles. I have always suggested they go to an instructor but they aren't too keen on that dollar per hour lesson fee before they know they want to do it. Add to that the fact that my first lesson I was almost straight onto dragging rear brake and happily O turning or 8 turning and then going at speed through some decent corners (I drive, it's in my blood) I struggle to understand how to show the real basics because they come totally naturally to me. Now I can go and practice this stuff again myself to be ready to give my friends a safe level of basic car park instruction to show them it's not that hard.

    Enjoyed watching this and would love to see Derricks progression on the bike, I feel funny watching this though, learned to drive a car in a Manual amd drove said car for a few years before getting onto a bike, when I took the msf course I had another student ask me if I had prior experience with bikes since things like clutch and throttle control and shifting gears were already drilled into my head so once I got the hang of how to use both in unison like they're attached by a "string" as yamie said it was sort of a no Brainer getting corning, the only issue I had was u turns, thinking to hard on it, finished the course but never finalized the permit process in my state, or got a bike as life didn't allow it just yet, but that will change soon!

    Of course you can.

    Understanding how to use a clutch will help when first learning, I've seen plenty of potential riders get frustrated and go quicker and quicker leading to stall after stall and frustration. If you get frustrated stalling, take a deep breath and slow your actions down a little.Your new rider tip for today.
