I do all those things as a seasoned rider just to expose all the Karens of the world.
@Yammie Noob
You should do a monthly giveaway for a pair of boots 👢
Did you see me on the road? Hey I've only been riding for two days.
a true sign of a noob rider: being overly condescending and judgemental of others riding
Ikr. Good ol freedom of choice
@@dunegoon3014 gotem
You wrote that wrong! I am not overconfident, I just like near missing trucks!
Tbh am i ridin a bike or usin a jet?
And having a high pitched voice
Damn this dude makes riding sound like a job.
riding isnt a job. appealing to an overly judgemental youtuber is...
Right like shut up LOL talkin about my dangling feet I been riding all day that’s so the BALLS of my feet hurt so they are gonna dangle YAMMIE
@@Yahsan_yhwh god help yam if he would ride all day lmao, he would understand
Exactly. Hell make anything sound boring when it comes to riding A bike.
Yeah he really over thinks motorcycle life in general. He always puts riders in a category always forgetting that he’s THAT motorcycle rider that we all make fun of on the low.
I've been riding for just over 7 years, and I can agree with him regarding the safety points (unstrapped helmet, proper boots, and OEM tires) but everything else is personal preference. You wanna waddle walk in the parking lot? go at it man, who cares if people think its silly. Do you have control over your bike? that is all that matters. If you are casually riding, who cares where your feet are positioned. Can you respond quickly (i.e. shift gears or brake). if yes then keep doing you. If you are riding more aggressively, then yes you should tuck in and have a more "athletic" footing. Also, 11min video and 7 sponsored ads. GTFO.
You should have an aggressive stance as much as possible. It makes responding to incoming cars and obstacles that much safer.
First, I wanna address one thing you said, foot position doesn't matter. It really does, my first wreck was having my heels on the pegs feet dangling, did a little turn, and my foot got hit, dragged down into a low side. Completely avoidable if I was on the balls of me feet like normal. Further, just because you seem mad, there was only one sponsored ad. The rest are for his store (you can't sponsor yourself) and were references to things you should buy, not saying buy it from him. It felt more like he was just showing that the casual boots were acceptable and showing a range of boots up. Honestly, if he has something on his store I would normally buy at Revzilla, I get it from him just to get the free bike entries, since its all the same price/shipping. I got a cardo and a riding hoodie there, I didn't like the shoe options he had, so I just got something else, no skin off my dick.
Plus the times he mentions their own website/gear to buy
@@timekeep3r grow up. dude runs a business. promoting products is LITERALLY his job.
@@Wonderbacon just because it happened to you doesn't mean it's true for everyone else
I disagree with a lot of things said here, I'm perfectly fine wearing my sneakers. They are not high tops but they are comfortable.
I waddle my bike sometimes, especially when turning around in a parking lot or something when there's not enough room to actually make the turn.
I also think a hydration pack is unnecessary as I usually don't ride for more then an hour without stopping too fuel up and have a coffee and a drink of water.
I usually plant 2 feet on the ground at stop lights because you never know when a gust of wind is gonna hit you and you lose balance, I think you are just being really judgmental and kind of an asshole. Ride how you want too and don't try to force it onto someone else, I think everybody should ride how they feel comfortable.
What matters in the end is you make home alive.
Agreed with most of that, I just approach the traffic light a bit differently.
I have my left foot down, left hand holding the clutch, right foot on brake and right hand ready to go on the throttle.
That way I can just get off the line quickly.
Though if I'm a few cars back, I do pop it in neutral and put both feet on the ground and relax my hands. So I can see where you're coming from. The wind doesn't bother me as much.
And preferably in the same shape as you left!
Agree!
Some of what he said definitely only really applies to certain activities. If you're just cruising around or tooling along the highway I don't think you really need a bcakpack baby bottle. The same goes for footwear. For commuting or cruising around as long as your footwear isn't flip-flops or slipons (and has something fairly grippy for a sole) you're probably going to be okay. Waddling the bike also has a lot to do with what kind of bike you're riding and where. The foot position is also extremely bike-specific in addition to what's appropriate/necessary for what the rider is actually trying to do.
The points about the helmet and tires are spot on.
Seems like a fair portion of this video is the presenter being an elitist douchecanoe. I've noticed this before on some of this channel's vids.
Shorts and sandals are for noobs and squids
I don’t care about looking like a noob, I absolutely am a noob and it’s so obvious there’s no point hiding it lmao. Confidence grows faster than skill, and I’m alright looking like a newbie until I’m not one 😊
Newbie means that someone is new. But noob means idiot or stupid.
"Confidence grows faster than skill"
Something so many people could benefit from learning in so many aspects of life!
@@juansolo9166 if you Google search definition of Noob it says someone lacking experience, so it’s the same as a newbie :)
@@FinleyAlice Context is everything.
@@juansolo9166 Yeah no.
I do lots of long distance riding. I put my feet all over the place just to stay comfortable 😁
Same.
Same here.
Dual sport rider here in California. It gets hot as fuck sometimes so I'll have my legs way out looking ridiculous I'm sure but damn the breeze feels good 😂
Me, too , nice O/O°
all the time
Been riding 27 years. Like to waddle walk in super slow traffic when you're only moving feet at a time. I think it's fun. Sometimes I'll pick both feet up and "slow race" just to practice balance. Just depends on what I feel like doing to entertain myself.
"Perception is important" sounds like something a tool would say. I'm a firm believer in the phrase "those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter." In other words the people that count will support you no matter what. And F### the ones that give you crap for being you.
this!
Man you got that right!!! IDGAF about what people think what I look like ride like or anything else. "Options are like @$$holes, everybody has one and all of them are full of $h!+"
You know what annoys me about NOOB UA-cam video presenters? A condescending "I know best" attidude, a really irritating voice and debatable knowledge of their chosen subject. This guy scores pretty high on all three IMO.
Man I’m glad it’s not just me that felt he was condescending AF. Also I’m born and raised in Austin Texas and no one I’ve seen rides with a hydration pack. lol.
@@atxking27 probably a way into shamelessly plugging their products
THANK YOU!
him promoting his water backpack was a biggest example of BULLSHIT
I have literally never heard of anyone riding a road bike with a hydration pack. This fucking guy 🤦🏼♂️😂
I feel like the first thing a Noob buys is a hydration pack.
No, because they mostly are stupid. They don't buy gear either. And that's why so many new riders die every year. And that again is why it never becomes many people riding bikes. Because so many are dying every year.
Lol!! Street riding. Absolutely. Kinda like the new Harley guy that buys a leather vest. The only time hydro packs are necessary is dirtbiking trails
haha agreed
For $150 from the store this guy is advertising every 4 minutes in his video.
@@mperry228 Why would you NOT buy leathers for riding? That's PPE and it's all that stands between you and the road if you wreck.
Yammie is my new favorite person. I love how he talks down to other riders who have been riding their entire life! it's amazing that he's become such a master motorcycle rider in 7 years and a beast on the track. He doesn't have time for "weekend riders". absolutely not. it doesn't matter if you are a licensed motorcycle mechanic and have rode every day for the past 30 years, he is better than you and knows more about bikes than you'll ever know. I mean if he didn't he wouldn't have a channel right?....Honestly I liked yammie up until I saw him talking down to other riders who disagreed with him and he called them weekend riders when he doesn't know them. we get it Yam, you make money talking about motorcycles after reading the stats on the companies. It's good to know you can read the brochure.
I like how he preaches about being a better rider but almost lost his own life because of his incompetence.
I couldn’t agree more
Amen, brother!!!
I have told my wife to ignore every thing she has "learned" from this guy. He is in it just to make some money. It is ok to be new to riding we were all new at some point. I am just happy she has started riding after being on my back seat for 16 years.
LOL exactly. At least two things I have gotten from his videos; the KTM Duke 390 is the best motorcycle ever. And he contradicts his own opinions in his videos.
Just want to say to people that there's nothing wrong about putting your feet down if you feel uncomfortable, especially if you're a new rider or inexperienced with a bike. It's better to learn slow and feel safe than to drop the bike.
I’d rather waddle like a noob in traffic than drop my bike in front of everyone
The term "Noob" &"Duck Walk" come from so-called experts who consider themselves superior riders because they can do a sharp u- turn on a YOU-Tube video. I've actually seen riders that dropped their bikes desperately trying not to use their legs because they didn't want to be thought of as a " Novice". Don't let these idiots set the standard for you, practice your slow speed skills but use your legs if you need to.
From an MSF instructor: I agree, it seems like this noob hasn't learned anything yet! Stop giving a shit about how you look to other riders, "Ride your own ride".
And as an 850lb Goldwing owner, I don't think this noob has ever ridden 2 up with luggage. Whatever makes you the most stable, confident and safe will make YOUR RIDES much better!
Yeah, I'm not sure if this video is supposed to help newbie riders, or rather shaming people to making them feel insecure about themselves if they have to put a foot down when they have to.
@@carlrobinson2338 wow that’s 1700 lbs between you and the bike!
I was saying the same thing. I’ve been riding all my life and I’ve never once wore water. Fuck outta here! Where do these idiots get this shit?
Cool story Bro - Yer yer use your legs, when you don’t have training wheels fitted the back of the bike, just risk personal injury and use those legs
Sounds like he got some hydration backpacks to sell.
100
That is the noob thing ever!
In the marines we call “boot” to whoever wears a camelbak.
Although when you go adventure riding it is absolutely necessary and super practical.
Lesson 1: don't ever let someone tell you you look like a noob on your bike. You can learn to improve and change things you might be doing in a technically wrong or clumsy way. But don't change things that work for you just because somebody tells you it makes you look like a noob. The real noob or wannabe is the person telling you that. Just enjoy your motor and improve your technique if you think it is necessary.
I really only really agree with the helmet strap, and keeping good tires. Not everyone can afford hydration packs, shoes only for riding (you should wear some type of boot though) and everyone leaves their blinker on sometimes, waddling is fun and takes stress away
#2 "Everyone should ride with a hydration system onboard." This is why we ride from bar to bar, restaurant to restaurant. LOL
😂😂😂😂
Café to café? hahaha
FR tho when ripping through the woods when camping I'll have a pack or some bottles in my backpack, but if I'm just cruising I don't think it's necessary either
Lmao right! What a joke
Water bottle(s) in the saddle bags works equally well. Flask in my pocket.
He added that probably just sell his from his website...
damn i never realized how much of a tool yammie became
Same. Been years since I watched a video, I just happened to click on this, I agree with you.
Watched a couple vids, I’ve seen his decent. Dudes just a tool.
Wow first vid iv seen in a few years and yup just seems like a snobby tool. Hydration pack xD thats why you fkin pull over, stretch your legs and have a coffee xD
Uh oh... Did he hit a nerve? How many of those 7 things do you do? All of them?
You sound like someone wearing SNEAKERS, instead of his custom riding boots :p
Been riding all of my life, and still forget to cancel my blinkers occasionally.
My 33 yr old Honda Pacific Coast has self cancelling signals, love it !
I am not a noob rider, but I’d say I will point my feet sometimes down to relieve pressure in my knee from it being in a single position for long periods,
Damn this is one of the most judge-mental things I’ve watched lol
i know lol dude is insecure af
Hey, look at that noobs feet AND he has no water pack, what a loser… you wanna head to my house and watch lord of the rings?
yeah man god help you if you don't buy a 150$ water bag
@@robertdesi6368 yeah he lost me at the no water.
@@OpM1key I live in south Asia,it's hot af, yet you can do 700+ kms without a water pack if you stop and drink water at breaks. Idk if it is hotter in Austin tho lol
I’m 45 and have been riding since I was 17… I do some of the things he mentioned. I say enjoy the ride keep safe and have fun…
I'm getting so used to my self-cancelling blinker on the CFMOTO that I sometimes do forget to turn them off when riding wife's cruiser which is a much louder and having much worse analogue display. LOL
As a fairly new rider this just made me feel like I shouldn't be doing things that help me feel comfortable on my new bike. The wonderful guy who sold me my ride told me to do most of these things to feel comfy, be awkward and care about your comfort and safety. when you're on the road or in a parking lot, the number one concern should be yourself and no one else. especially when it comes to caring about what others think. You shouldn't. Being cool. and Looking badass doesn't just come from how you make yourself look on a motorcycle. it comes from the comfort and confidence of how you ride. The water thing i have noticed a lot, didn't realize id feel so tired after only a few rides, pretty silly of me haha. Any who I love the channel.
If someone’s more concerned about seeing where your feet are on the pegs, maybe they should be more concerned about keeping their own eyes on the road ahead. And who gives a shit how others ride anyways. Their own journey, let them do what they want.
Exactly! Thats what i just told this guy. What a douchebag he is.. 😆
Just remove all of the armor from your gear and replace with various hydration packs.
😂🤣 Water balloons. 🎈🎈
😂😉👍
Make sure the Velcro on your shoes are clean also. Can’t have them coming loose
right like lmao the only reason he said that was to plug his website . like come on bro can every video you make not be sponsored , an add , or the same video over and over again - that would be great
lol
"RiDiNg wIthOuT a hYdrAtIon pACk mAkes YoU a NooB.... So anyway here's our hydration pack you can buy... so you're not a nOoB"
After several hours in the saddle, you'll put your feet into any position that doesn't hurt....
This dude thinks riding is like a rpg game where he levels up periodically with new gear and skills. All underneath him are mere mortals. Soon he’ll be able to level up his hydration pack with smart water
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahhh best comment ever!
Really odd fellow to say the least
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I thought the water pack entry was just an atrempt to "inconspicuously" plug his ad there. It didn't look good to me though.
If you ride with your heels on the peg so it makes it easy to shift during city/commuting more power to you. Don’t let a tool shame you for not riding like a power ranger racer on the day to day commute. Stay alert stay comfortable frens
Total tool. Amen. Good insult.. Also a jabroni
well ive been riding for 30 years, i wear flip flops and shorts, i carry a water bottle instead of a hydration pack, i ride any way my feet are comfortable and ill mod my bike any way i want. and the true mark of a "noob" rider is making fun of the way other riders ride. the point is to enjoy yourself not be a follower
Honestly this is the best motorcycle channel that's on UA-cam it has a little bit of everything for everyone
1. Long ride - your feet point every which way. Including dangling off the passenger's footpegs. It's even adviced to change the position of your legs/feet.
2. What if I stop every hour to drink? That thought obviously didn't occur to you.
3. I waddle in tight spaces where it's just stupid to use the engine.
4. Not exclusive to noobs.
5. Not exclusive to noobs. Also, not every bike's OEM tires are crap. Also, most riders, including you, just lack the ability to get the most of OEM tires anyway.
6. Not exclusive to noobs. Also, you can't tell sneaker from motorcycle sneakers when somebody rides past you. Also, if I ride 2 km to work rarely exceeding 30 km/h... I cover the same on a bicycle, sometimes reaching 30 km/h. Should I bicycle in proper motorcycle boots?
7. Not exclusive to noobs - as you prove yourself - unless you're still one. That was never problem to mee as a noob.
All of that and more. Also, even if you can ride your bike right to the edge, you have a death wish if you do it on the street.
Most of the stuff in this video was specifically picked so he could advertise his website... it was a total waste of time to watch.
I can't believe this video has so many likes. In the 80s I doubt hydration packs even existed. Did those disposable water bottles exist? I drank out of a quart jug- still do.
@@baconoverlord7982 “Buy my $150 hydration pack”. So stupid lol. Even if I did want to ride with one of those on all the time, I’d buy one from Amazon for $30.
In regards to 2, didn’t you know that motorcycles can go thousands of miles without having to fill up on gas? Oh that’s right, the most we can go is about 2 hours without filling up, give or take. Shit is so dumb lol. This solidifies my opinion that this channel is wack.
Condescension is off the scale in this vid! Respect to every biker who rides safely but bikers like Yammie who think they know better and talk down to others is not cool.
Personally I think hes a tool
I can see where you're coming from, but overall, there is some good yammie content. To be honest, Spite is more of a snob than yammie.
@@jeepgreg27 yes. It is the whole “you must ride on a track to be a real biker” that I loath.
This entire video was a self-appreciating, condescending advertisement for his store. It wasn't at all worth the watch.
@@baconoverlord7982 yes. I thought about joining his sit but it is just a numbers racket. I am not kidding. You pay all this money for a chance to win a bike. I can’t believe it is legal
😂 I’m guilty of #7 but I needed this! Thanks 😊
The only thing I’ve noticed or care to notice is people who look like a circus bear and a bicycle. They wanted to ride but got the absolute smallest bike they thought was right. You should get a motorcycle that is your size and go slow and practice.
Can only imagine what this guy would bring camping with him 😂
LOL
Lmao ikr head have to pay 10k in moving fees
LOL
Probably some unwarranted advice on how much better a camper he is than you.
@@PoisonousPen he’s gonna list 7 things that make you a noob at camping.
Honestly, focus on riding safely, shifting gears confidently, and (especially) staying out of the way of other traffic. Imho, beginners don't have attention to spare for worrying about what other people think.
i was going to pop in and be like "my harley turn signals are self canceling" and as soon as i started typing this yammie said it 😂
I clicked to see whats the status and i see that ftr lol and when i seen it, he said i know you noticed the FTR ,my friend i seen it right away lol!! 🔥🔥💯 one of my favorite bike
A whole video about caring what strangers think about you.
This
Lmao. Never thought of it like this but yep.
If being a “noob” is such a bad thing we best all avoid it and never learn to ride in the first place yeah 🤣🙄
OP is the kinda guy to unironically post about his ‘sigma mindset’ 🤮
Meh
Poised to slag the noob but he's bang on with this one and that Indian is flipping minty
Nothing wrong with being a noob. Gotta start somewhere and definitely move at your own pace, safely. Love the safety info. All the other stuff is bougie expert opinions.
Amen. This entire video looked like a hand-picked list of things he could talk about to advertise his store.
Agreed. Nothing wrong with being a noob but this stuff is hardly noob stuff with the exception of maybe 2 things. He mentioned Austin, TX so.....enough said
learn the safe way to ride and learn to ride better THEN focus on "b-b-b-b-but i look like a n-n-n-n-noob!"

1) Yammie never stretches his feet
2) Gas stations sell bottled water
3) Touch my waddle and tell me I’m pretty
4) But Fidlock bruh
5) No used Trojans here
6) No flippy floppies!
7) Guilty as charged
1) is even worse than no stretching, how do you change gears with balls of the feet on the peg all the time??
@@zonda6012 I have big ass feet... but for most I would think he wants you to adjust the lever
@@zonda6012 you just scoot your feet up, do your thing with the shifter or brake lever, then scoot your foot back when done.
@@alexp6409 Or alternatively, ride like a duck most of the time for frequent shifts, ride on the ball of inner foot mid corner, then ride like a duck again (I quote Jack Miller foot video again). I find hanging the raised heel of boots on the pegs in straight line more comfortable, but if you find riding on the balls on straight line more comfortable, it is also totally fine. But judging people by foot position is definitely ignorant.
@@zonda6012 It's function over comfort. I judge people that ride that way as well. Saw a video a while back of a girl wrecking because her inside foot was dangling too low while she was leaned over. It's bad practice, and I've never seen high skill riders with their feet dangling.
Yammie advises the noobs, and the noobs enrich Yammie. Squid quo Pro.
Squid pro quo lmao
Had me loling
💯
So underrated
I drive a electric motorcycle so I always look like a newbie
I always tap my indicator switch occasionally just to make sure they're off incase I accidently moved it or forgot after doing some crazy turns or something silly. Happens to everyone. Not necessarily a noob mistake
Sign of a noob rider: Always always always has the balls of his feet on the pegs, because he heard thats the only right way to do it, and is afraid of being outed as a noob! Even though he is cruising down a straight highway and could use a little movement and change in position they are in!
Floorboard life
The realest tuck onto the passenger pegs lmao.
Yeah, it's not like he melted his boot, because he was such a noob, that he didn't realize most pegs are designed for the arch of your foot. Oh wait...
Ends up getting DVT because he doesn't move his legs... Because, some random guy on the internet that made a video told him it was "noobish" to move your legs around.
I have to move my feet all over the pegs every now and then if my feet start to ache. The whole waddling thing threw me off because I'm not about to play a balancing game with no literbike in a parking lot. Especially if I run the risk of toppling it over in front of God and everyone. That would look pretty noob of me.
If I saw Yams I’d probably dangle my feet on purpose then watch his reaction
i would drag mine on the ground
Safety is the biggest issue no matter how long you've been riding. You let your guard down and it might be the last time you let your guard down. Situational awareness and constantly assessing threats at ALL times cannot be understated. I've been riding for 11 yrs now and had bit of a scare at highway speed a month ago. I was following a bit too close and when the car up ahead rapidly slowed down. When I braked my back tire briefly locked😳
My 2020 Zero has a self-canceling turn indicator, which confused me at first, but now I love it.
Yes, it could possibly save my life.
Never seen a hydration backpack yet, i guess we are all noobs here in north
Riding in CT, I can only imagine how much shit I’d eat from friends pulling up with one of those every time I ride lmao
Agreed
Hydration backpack ? Hardcore, old school bikers in Michigan just drink out of roadside ditches. That is until they freeze , then we just suck on a chunk of ice.
My Harley may be slow, but it does in fact have self-canceling indicators. They don’t turn off once you’ve completed a turn, but on your next up-shift.
Also as you found out first-hand, don’t ride cruisers on the balls of your feet.
My 2012 Harley does not cancel on up shift. Maybe the newer/older ones are different. They will cancel if I change lanes and never shift or change speed. And will cancel after a turn after I'm well into 3rd or 4th gear. I once read about them being based on lean angle, distance traveled and wheel speed and rely on the tsm sensor. Maybe Harley has played around with how they work over the years
@@pocketlint82 that’s interesting. I just have a 2009 Nightster (several videos on my page 🤙🏼). Is yours a bagger?
I ride a v-twin cruiser and whilst cruising in a straight line, I often spread my legs, prop my feet up by the heels and point my toes upwards. Feels goood.
I have a few years riding under my belt now, but my favourite game is still trying to remember how long ago I turn that blinker on? 😂
I've been riding since I was like 2 or 4 years old and still sometimes ride in sneakers, it's comfortable enough and I just can't be asked to change into leather gear and boots just to pop down to the local supermarket for the fifth time in one day
not gonna tell you to change but you should have a look at the injuries people get from not wearing boots :(
Let's see if you keep saying that after you eventually fall and destroy your feet and maybe your whole leg. At least wear riding sneakers. Leg injuries are no fun trust me.
@@dylanc2806 I'm well aware of what injuries I can get, I'm just willing to bet my body on being lazy
@@libingmeme8474 okay, well i hope you never learn this lesson the hard way...
@@dylanc2806 thanjs
Yeah, I do agree with many of the other respondents...the words 'condescending' and 'judgmental' come to mind when watching this vid. I am a new rider, just made 1000 miles four days ago. What other people think of me is none of my business. Too bad the people that are following this advice (such as foot placement, waddle walking, tires) do not have the confidence to not give a hoot if someone thinks they are new at riding or not. Safety is paramount...if the rider is comfortable and safe in operating the vehicle, that is more important that what yammie noob or anyone else thinks of them. Who gives a waddle? PS: I prefer a water bottle to the hydration packs, and always ride with one. Jeez!
ride safe on your first 10k and have some proper fun
Totally have left my blinker on and didn't notice till next time I went to use it
I'm big on hydration myself, but I don't recall the last time I saw anyone riding around with a camelbak.
He just wants to advertise his product lmaoo
So someone relaxing on the highway after ripping twisties with their heels on the pegs bothers you? Me carrying water in a backpack bothers you? No one cares how much other riders waddle. Noobs probably strap up their helmets more than other people. Sometimes I forget and only realize after it starts flapping but there's no where to stop.
This happens to me at least once a week.
Sometimes you're trying to take off quickly and theres a lot of stuff to keep track of.
This is just a list of his pet peeves more than noob behavior, the hydration pack bit is ridiculous, most of the people i ride with need an actual backpack and just grab water on the road
When its an emergency, you can stop where ever you are. And strapping up your helmet is critical. Don't think that is illegal to fasten your helmet on the side of the road or even Highway/motorway. But I can be wrong.
@@jordenmassmusic And you ride all summer in extreme heat from 45°C and up?
@@Gismo3333 it is very illegal to stop on the side of a highway without an emergency. In one of the many states that don't require a helmet legally, stopping to fix your straps wouldn't be considered an emergency
Waddling is situational. Am I reversing out of a spot? Am I parked up hill or downhill? How heavy is the bike? It's not always the best way to move a bike, but it has its place.
Ordering from a drive thru. Not going to start my super sport just to pull up
I don’t reverse OUT of a spot, you should always reverse INTO one. It’s the best habit with any vehicle.
@@andrewsmith9174 I agree, I do reverse into spots. It's just that if I am, for example, reversing uphill into a spot, walking your bike back(waddling) while sitting on it is easier than pulling it up if you can flat foot.
Waddling is also great to stretch on any traffic light during a long ride on high rearsets
@@seporokey if the park space is uphill you are probably better off parking in forward then roll backwards as it will be easier. going reverse uphill just seems too much of a challenge.
Nah, my foot positioning is fine. I'll get my feet into the proper position whenever it's necessary lmao
I learned to ride by first waddling 😂
I’m super proud to say I only do it to get the bike out of the garage now.
Sigma noob grindset: Do all these because it doesn’t matter what others think.
As a sneakerhead - I'd rather have feet to put shoes on than lose them in an accident. I just toss them in my bag and put them on when I get off.
My 2022 Triumph Trident 660 has autocancelling signals. It's a godsend.
Bam, same here.
Also, I'm not trashing my nice shoes for work on my bike
I got a old 83 Yamaha maxim, was shocked it had self cancelling indicators.
Been riding my bike for 5 years with no turn signals and never had an issue. Cars will wait for motorcyclist to turn anyway because they're not sure if they're actually turning or if they forgot to turn the blinker off. When I merge I'm merging at a faster speed than cars are moving so I would never need to use my turn signal to slow a car down. I'm usually nowhere near cars when I merge. I rarely make left hand turns where I MAY need a turn signal.
Sneakerhead and biker since 98 here. I rock my shit back then now and in future. The hell you not buying two pairs 🤣? One to rock one to stock.
Fun to see difference between countries... Here, in France, seeing rider with hydration pack will seems strange actually 😁 Anyway, as a noob 40 years old rider, just discovered your channel and it's great! Keep going on guys!
My friend and I just got into riding motorcycle in recent months as alternative transportation to our main vehicles. So far with all of the recent rides we have done we have not seen anyone wearing a hydration bag like this fool preaches about. So I would take anything he says with a huge block of salt. So far all my friend and I wear while on rides besides required safety gear is a simple backpack to carry water bottles and whatever other small items we happen to buy when we stop to refuel our bikes and to take a break. On our travels when we've encountered large groups of other riders they were always on a larger cruiser/touring bike with saddle bags or cargo boxes. The only person we've encountered that was wearing anything on their back was another dual-sport rider like us and they also had a simple backpack.
New rider here just learning! I think it's more important to do what's most safe for you, not what others might think about how you look. Just my .02, I couldn't care what others think but as long as I keep doing the things to become the best rider I can.
"We are seriously upgrading our production"
Talking in out of focus!!
lol
yes hydration backpack is so important everyone rides with one... I even wear one at home especially in shower because I cant carry a water bottle... Definitely not trying to sell stuff, just very important...
Don’t forget to use code ‘merchdemon’
Yes, this channel went from fun to commercial very quickly.
@@ChuckTownRC51 Fun doesn't pay the bills. Got 8 people on payroll and daily uploads
Agreed. Also Yammie please remember many of your viewers are not in the US of A! Over here in Northern England dehydration on a hot day is rather unlikely! Much more likely to need a hot cup of tea on a spring morning ride!
@@yammienoob don’t do that
I was just cruising in the HOV and a guy lined up with me and kept bumping his throttle. Then he gassed it and his lid blew clear off(helmet not strapped) and he kept haulin. I was in awe and embarrassed for him. Never looked back.
So much for feeling free on a bike 😂
My dad has been riding for over 50 years and he still forgets to cancel his blinkers after a turn 😂😂😂
my current bike has self canceling turn signals its pretty cool
I don't have blinkers hehe

Which is why you spend more than $500 on a bike and get one with some equipment made this century.
#2: Not having a water pack is noob behavior? Okaaay...
As a note to #7: Just train yourself to look at your speedo more often and you will automatically be more engaged in your ride and ofcourse notice your turn signal light.
Ride safe, y'all!
lol gotta spend $150 on a backpack otherwise yammie will laugh at you.
Do they ever have them on in videos?
imo we should look less often at speedo rather than more often, maybe train to focus further ahead? Simply train the thumb for me. Whenever turning on the signal button, i'll just keep it there until turning it off. Work most of the time for me, kind of be like muscle memory for me already. But yeah, panel check is important too, in case of any abnormal/warning light/speed limit etc etc. Not trying to teach or correcting urs, just feels like sharing. Sorry for my english, it is not my native :)
Eyes on the road and where you want to go, champ. Not looking down at your dash constantly
@@yammienoob Sure Yam, I agree we have to look ahead. That's why I said more often, and not constantly ;)
Now back to the turbo subs...
I dumped my bike in summer, so I had sneaks on. During my body rolling I lost both my shoes. People were asking me why I was riding bare foot. Was asking for help finding my shoes since I was more busy bleeding. 😂
This dude cares more about looking "cool" than the actual driving and experience.
Gonna have to call out foot position on the pegs, you know how it is.
Foot positioning depends on numerous factors, including adjustable peg set-up. There's even Moto GP riders who favor mid-sole and even resting their heel on the peg at all times. So keeping on the balls of your feet isn't always the best option. There's a few things to take into account that advanced riders must take into consideration. So I wouldn't call those flat footers who ride mid-sole on the pegs necessarily "noobs."
yeah, I always place my feet so that the foot pegs are under the middle of my foot, and i feel way more stable that way, always have. Have tried switching several times to standing on the balls of my feet but i can never get used to it. But hey who knows maybe some day
Idk if I'm flat footed or not but I do got wide feet. But I always have liked the peg to be in the middle of my feet and if a have my toes or front of my foot on it I can't shift. Also I have tried out that before a little and it didn't really like it wich I'm riding a dirt bike though.
@@eyeballs97 i have always felt way more stable with if in the middle of my foot to
Foot position is and has always be a personal opinion. But as most have already made clear, mid sole always has been and always will be the most favored. 🚩1 He also referred to a GSXR as a Gixxer, 🚩2 😬
It's an individual thing. I've been riding since '97 and have always preferred to have the peg positioned mid-sole/arch. Much more comfortable imo.
When in doubt, cancel the indicators again... never failed me.
Youd probably assume someone wearing casual bike rated shoes and kevlar lined pants with an armored hoodie didnt have protection lol
A tip for you. The new biker boots look like sneakers however they have strong ankle support and wear tabs for your shifter foot. Times change, so should you.
The claim that you can't control the bike unless you have the balls of your feet on the pegs is just not true. Maybe on the track that is true but on the street I can see absolutely no difference in my ability to lean or maneuver my bike whether I have the balls of my feet on the pegs or if I have my feet moved down with the heel pressed against the pegs. It makes no difference other than it is less comfortable and talks longer for me to reach the gear shift and the rear brake when I am on the balls of my feet. It has been over 20 years since I took my AMA course, but I don't recall anyone talking about that during the course. I don't even know where this is coming from.
As far as the hydration equipment, I have owned my current bike since I bought it new in 2004 and have put over 42,000 miles on it nearly all done below the Mason Dixon line and the large majority of it in the summer. I have never once had a camel back or any hydration equipment on me and have never once felt the need to have such. I will get tired of riding the bike and want off for a few minutes to get a drink and stretch my legs long before I suffer from dehydration. Where does he get this nonsense?
Lastly, telling people to buy a high performance tire is straight up stupid. High performance tires are sticky. You pay a price in both wear and gas mileage the stickier your tires are. They also get hard and don't do worth a crap in the cold and often have less tread on them making them work lousy in the rain. I have high performance tires on my sportscar. But, since I drive it in the winter, I change out the rims and tires every fall and spring and run true winter tires during the winter. To do otherwise would be totally unsafe. So, unless you live somewhere where it never gets cold or you don't plan to ride during the winter, I would advise against high performance tires on a motorcycle. Unless you are tracking it, you are giving up gas mileage, durability, and maybe safety in the cold or rain in return for extra grip you are never going to use.
This video is a crock. The maker needs to take it down and try it again.
I used to do just fine with the arches of my feet on the pegs, save for the fact that I eventually ground the toes off my riding boots! Oops!
@@maximusmax4557 you should work on that
New video idea: How about several videos each dedicated to top 7 tires for a specific type of riding. Adventure, sport, touring, cruising, etc. (Noob here)
FortNine has really good videos on those kinds of topics.
Fortnine and revzilla are the best route.
Why not just hand-feed him more things to advertise from his store.... that's what this entire video was...
Ummmm, how about using dual-sport tires on your ADV bike, sportbike tires on your sportbike or hyperbike, sport-touring tires for tire longevity on your sport or standard bike, etc.? You need a video for that? From THIS guy?
Thank you foe the great video, I’m buying my first bike next month which is the cbr150r and the first thing I will change immediately is the tyre. Any recommendation for great tyre for this bike? My country is hot (around 30 degree C average) and change to heavy rain quite drastically
I have to speak up about the sneaker thing, a lot of boots are very thick (abrasion resistance) so it’s very cumbersome to dip down under the shifter for gearing up. Sneakers (vans) have a much smaller profile so shifting is super easy. If you spring for the ComfyCush models it’s also very comfortable. While I don’t condone riding without full proper gear, I have to say that gear which impedes your ability to manipulate the bike is a bad idea.
I disagree on the foot position. I ride with the middle of my foot on the peg, is easier to reach the shifter in case of shifting. Other it doesn’t fit in cruiser bikes.
Yeah, I just started riding and have about 150 miles under my belt and found that I put the middle of my foot or the heel on the left foot peg so I can still access the shifter when needed and then I either angle the right foot out to keep it from dragging on the brake or I'll move it back so that my toe is just behind the brake pedal again so I can easily access it as needed.
I ride dirt bikes for 28 years I have rode motorcycle for at least five years on dirt bikes you put your foot on the foot peg on the arches because you’re always constantly on the break or shifting and anyone puts their foot like he wants you to never really road a dirtbike are motocross boots are designed to put your foot on the foot peg where the arch isIt’s a safety factor if you ride a dirtbike by the front of your toes like he wants you to your foot will slip off especially if you had a jump and then you’re gonna break your leg
No hydration pack but with a fuel range of ~95 miles I drink a bottle of water at every fuel stop
Edit: I’ve worked outside most of my life so maybe I’m just a bit more acclimated to the heat than most
Traveling with water is always a good idea.
Some of us prepare for the unthinkable event of having any issue on the way like a flat tire or whatever and not wanting to collapse of dehydration.
Plus, riding highway stints with the water hose coming into the helmet will definitely have a negative effect on sound blasting in and slowly melt your ears
It was a selling gimmick. You're not a noob to not. You might be dumb if you do an8 hour ride without getting some at a stop or two
I just put like 4 water bottles in my backpack
I don’t think the hydration pack is a NOOB thing. I’ve literally never seen anyone have one while riding
I ride a little 125cc and I'm learning. This was very helpful. Thank you!
Im perfectly able to do slow speed manoeuvres with my feet up but sometimes when its constantly stop and go in traffic its just much more convenient to waddle it forward when you aren’t going anywhere fast
Same. Sometimes a waddle is warranted. Stop and go traffic is for sure one of those cases.
@@C.K985 No, you have to burn out your clutch to be a pro rider.
I leave my helmet unstrapped to remind me my blinker is on.
😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂Thank you for the tip.
I tend to keep both feet down regardless bc I'm not comfortable keeping 1 foot down at a light with my bike weighing 800lbs lol
Don’t pick up your feet. Do what makes you comfortable. Only a noob rider would copy other people to look good!
this is why i love the adventure biking community vs street bikers. street bikers are so insecure and care so much of what other people think of them and their equipment
Another noob mistake - changing up into 2nd gear but it goes into neutral and you rev the crap out of the engine
Dammit
How do you keep that from happening? It’s really bothering me and I don’t know why it keeps happening.
@@mattgonzalez1053 maybe you let go of the clutch too fast
@@mattgonzalez1053 try changing up gears using the other foot…
@@mattgonzalez1053 just push harder with your foot, if you're super gentle while goin from 1 to 2 then it will obviously go to neutral
Okay, serious question if I may: I ride a Honda Shadow 600 that runs the Dunlop D404 series tire. I'm about to replace the stock rubber up front. They've always felt fine to me but it's down to the wear bars so it's time to go. Should I really be looking into a different brand on such a smaller bike or is the stock D404 fine?
While 1 and 3 are entirely opinion based preferences. The rest are actual safety issues. I don't know what the comments are yapping about if you do those you are endangering yourself and possibly others.
Well, now that I feel thoroughly called out: I'll just ride away on my reflectively wrapped Grom and steer with my feet (barefoot mind you) as I sip the salt water from the mug I put on the bars because I didn't want to put on a backpack.
Without my helmet strapped in
Noob!
I've got a cupholder on my Fatboy. He'd utterly lose his shit if he saw that.
It gives me chills to think about all these foot injuries... holy shit is it horrifying
Love ya Papa Yam, but I feel this was a sales plug for your store front. Shooters gotta shoot but I'm gonna call you on it 😁
Yip, this was total crap and nothing but a sales plug lol.
So according to a “professional” EVERYONE who rides is wrong. But if you actually watch PROFESSIONAL riders. You’ll see them waddle out of the pits, off the trailers and pretty much everywhere they’re going low speeds. So unless you’re on a track Ride your ride and fuck This shit.
