    Biggest advanced rider mistake is being too comfortable. You get too comfortable suddenly you're going 80 in the rain on the highway and highside through a large puddle. Always keep in mind... Having a bike, even though you're riding slow, is better than not having a bike because you have to fix it or yourself.

    • @Gismo3333
      @Gismo3333 2 роки тому +13

      That is not advanced rider mistake… That is a rider that think he… or she… is much better, then they really is.
      And the rider panic when they hit the puddle, and do something stupid. So the problem is the rider has not enough training and experience. Not because the rider, are to good at riding.
      Train some low speed maneuvering somewhere outside of traffic. That is how you learn to handle the bike, also in high speed. And try out braking hard on dirt and/or gravel… And experience what the bike feels like when it slips.
      Learn to relax when something happens, instead of panic and think you have to do something. To do that, you have to know what to do, with out thinking. You don't learn that from riding 1000 of miles on the highway or ride a bike for 20 or 100 years. If you don't know the techniques, and have them trained in, so it is reaction. Then it is no use to know, when something sudden happens.
      Better to learn how to handle the bike, in stead of riding way to slow on the highway. You drive slow on the highway, you may get hit from behind. Specially when it rains, and it is hard to see.
      And I have heard that some states, you are not allowed on the Highway, when you are a beginner; so check you laws in your states.

      Exactly why I don't hesitate about hitting gravel, even the roads where asphalt just stops mid-curve... AND I'm frequently parked in the yard... Street tires weren't designed for off-road, and I ride a cruiser... BUT I fishtail through and sling mud and gravel, feather the clutch and work the throttle to catch her in a slip...
      Sent off for alpaca wool socks and sweater to go with the balaklava among my layers... AND I rode all winter this year. Only had a few days where there was ice enough to stay my ass home... longest stretch was 12... AND in the mountains it wasn't too bad.
      You get a choice... be afraid to venture out of your "comfort zone" once in a while... OR you can learn and grow, use just a bit of care and ride a tad conservatively when things aren't optimal. ;o)

    • @Dangerwiggles
      @Dangerwiggles 2 роки тому +6

      It's about time and place.
      And "riding slow" doesn't mean going 40 in a 70 zone. That means, I could try to be moto GP around these Twisties and one small mistake might cost me a bunch of medical bills... Or I could just ride and have fun, going fast.. but not being too comfortable with it. Understanding time and place and not being too comfortable out there is the most important part of the rider mentality that will keep you alive.

    • @gnarthdarkanen7464
      @gnarthdarkanen7464 2 роки тому +2

      @@Dangerwiggles Yup... I tend to ride "conservatively" around other traffic... ANY other traffic.
      A lot of the roads around me are posted 45 or 55... and mostly everybody runs between 5 and 10 over, so figure on picking up your pace to "estimate pack speed" at around 60 or 65 depending (on God ONLY knows what)... AND then I back off a bit, say... 3 or so mph... OR I just stick to what the Troopers and Cops usually say "5 you're fine but 10 you're mine." SO I stick at 5 over and let the rest go around me...
      The "Time to Ass Around" is when the road is clear, twisties or otherwise... AND it DOES happen... Then I calculate my risks versus reward, based on experiment or technique of intent... AND I may just judge up the pace for certain roads to work on smoothness or grace... AND I may just wring the hell out of the throttle and give "Baby" a chance to run out and breathe... Some call it an "Italian Tune Up"... BUT let's be honest, we just like to get into "a little mischief" every now and again... AND that's okay...
      When I can dress for it, foul weather is a perfectly good time and reason to go for a ride... take it easy at first, of course... and gently ease on pressure and pace... feel your way out to relatively uncomfortable (but not too sketchy) limits and learn a little bit...
      Early on, you'll probably learn that your tires (even "cold") are a lot more dependable than you'd expect. Then it's about smoothness and grace... finesse the controls... AND along the way, somewhere, you should pick up some faith in the motorcycle itself... If you let it, they're often competently self correcting. Just keep a steady hold and you're probably okay...
      ...of course... everything has its limits. That's why we DO "take it easy" out there. ;o)

    My first bike was not only a liter bike but a Jamie James Productions R1... can confirm, it was a monumental mistake. The only thing I learned on that bike was that if I didn't get rid of it I was 100% going to die riding it. Been riding 20 years now and that thing would still more bike than I would ever need. Sold it for more than I bought it for though so not all a loss.

      @@x1ver if you do, go really slow and catch the basic first. The throttle aren’t crazy twitchy but you can get into some trouble: the first thing that was scariest for me was committing to leaning in a turn and judging how slow you neeed to be going. So number always slow down before the turn, look to where the turn is going not where you are and commit to a lean and gradually adjust to straighten out or turn sharper. Turns we’re the scariest part for me and somehow I came out without crashing a few times. Lessons learned. Go slow ! These are the best tips I can give you. It’s a skill you have to learn. The 600 is great once you get the hang of it. I now have a Kawasaki Zx6r which is a 636. It’s plenty fast and plenty fun for my mountain roads but I plan on hitting the track next year.

    I started on an 06 R1 and ill tell ya. There's plenty of power below 12.5k lol. Without any rider aids, they love to kick out/spin the tire even at relatively low Rpm. Not to mention that front tire until you're up into 3rd WILL come up under power and if you don't know what to do with it you're gunna loop it. So yeah I concur. Somedays i wish i started on something smaller for a couple reasons. First reason is learning curve. It's much harder to get comfy when you're terrified. Second, You don't have room to wind it out and go through gears so if you're looking to have any type of leisure riding with your cruiser buddies, you're in for a rough time. Just my personal 2 cents and at the end of the day I love my R1 and I'm happy I started on it but It's not for everyone.

    Me: a 16 year old which buys a soviet 650cc motorcycle that have been rusting for 18 years just so i can get experience in repairing my own bike
    7:07 that is not a problem for me, as i have a reverse gear on it.

    About nr8... My gear shift once fell out during a ride, luckily all the bolts stayed in place, but I had to learn how to not stall my 125cc varadero from 5th gear... And the road went slightly uphill...
    5 minutes later at home I just screwed it back on but still

    As a short guy it sucks trying to back up a motorcycle, even more so if there is any bit of an incline. I definitely recommend backing into the parking spot than backing out into traffic, even if its just in a parking lot.

    I’m 54 and I just learned how to ride. My husband got me a Honda rebel 250 and it was the perfect size. I graduated and bought myself an Eliminator 450 and that’s all I need. I don’t want the extra anxiety of too much power, weight and tip toeing the bike.

    #11) Don’t ride with a passenger until you have mastered more than the basics, and are fully confident in your riding ability! For the person behind you to be a good passenger, they need to move in unison with the driver, to keep the bike balanced and in control. If you’re moving around incorrectly, and the passenger is copying you… two wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes your screw up and lack of control twice as bad! Remember, there is nothing sexy or cute about a passenger covered in road rash, or worse!

    There's one time when I park nose first - when the parking spot goes uphill and I'm on the ADV bike. Don't really like waddling uphill into a spot when I'm on tip toes. Super lame. I pull in nose first then when leaving I can just pull in the clutch and coast backwards. I perfected that move when I was living in a place that was all hills and my electric start didn't work, and kick starting wasn't super reliable either. Got to where I can park on a hill then when leaving just swing back and around then coast down the hill and pop the clutch to start.

    I’ve gotten into the habit of reseting my turn signal before approaching each intersection in case I left a blinker on somewhere.

  • @billbonu1639

    Number one in my book is pulling up too close to the gas pump . you have to leave room for your bike to lean over on its side stand AND have room to get off and walk between the pump and the handlebars etc.the hose is plenty long enough trust me so feel free to just park it way out there like 3 or 4 feet from the pump is no problem.

    For the First 2, as a person Who needed to take the 125cc BC at 16 you have to have that limitation, i would recommend an honda Varadero 125, It Is legal with the A1 licence, and It gives the experience of a bigger bike as It has the same body of the 750cc one, so you can learn to use a bigger and heavier bike while in the 125cc, and One of the only 125cc V twin cylinder bikes if not the the only one as i don't know about any other 125 with the same type of engine

    Even if you have no mechanical skills (at all), you can manage some things on your own (or with a friend).
    Cleaning and lubricating the chain, oil, and filter shift, spark plugs, bulbs, fuses, tire care, AND if you spend just 1 hour reading...changing the brake fluid and the brake pads. It will spare you a lot of $$$ and you'll get to know your bike.

    funniest noob move is in a parking lot in first gear when they do not tuck their knees in and instead use their hands to control foreword and aft momentum. and then they try to give it a little throttle, pulling them back and giving more throttle than they wanted to, so they try to back off the throttle, throwing their momentum forward, totally dumping the throttle, so they try to give it some throttle,... and over and over lol
