    My dad always preferred highway to city riding. His logic was that on a highway, everyone is going the same direction, and all you have to worry about is staying out of blind spots. In the city, there's pedestrians, slow cars, fast cars, cars making turns in either direction and not looking before doing so, quick lane changes without checking blind spots, etc. And honestly I agree, with the exception of rush hour traffic, freeway riding is significantly less stressful to me than riding in city streets.

    One more thing about no.7, the fear of getting bored.
    If you're starting to feel bored of something you love doing, take a break from it. This works pretty much for everything, not just riding. Take a few days off, do something else, if you need to get somewhere, drive a car. Odds are that when you go back to your hobby, you're gonna feel a rush of happiness you haven't felt in a long time. (Especially if the thing you love has 2 wheels and a motor lol)

    Highway riding is by far the safest/most comfortable type of riding (provided you have a windshield). Everyone travels at the same pace, and in the same direction. You have clear overview, no blind angles, no old grannies pulling out from sideways without looking, no interference or stop lights that can cause drivers to rear end you - and plenty of space to get out of the way if you dont like how people around you are driving. And if you ride 10% faster than the traffic flow, you also ensure that you're being aware of what goes on in front, while not having to worry about what goes on besides/behind you. So many safety benefits of highway riding.

      In my experience this is true for the most part, but it must also be remembered that freeway driving feels easy for everyone else, who might fall asleep or figure it's a good time to answer that text. I've always heard it said that we should treat every car as a trained assassin with a bounty on our heads. I don't give them that much credit for intelligence, I think riding on an urban freeway is more like being in a kayak on a whitewater river surrounded by huge floating logs that randomly bump into each other, which we must dodge.

    Confidence can take you far, but over confidence will stop you hard and quick. There's a lot of different views on what bike you should start with, how you should grow and everything else. You try out and find what you like, and do what you're comfortable with. Learn throttle control, practice your maneuvers, and learn your machine. I went from a vulcan 650 to a GL1500 Goldwing, large jump, but having someone with a goldwing to give advice and just practicing made the 900lb bike feel just as light on the backroads as that 650. Don't comply to what friends, strangers, or family tell you to buy. Do what makes you happy, it's a dangerous hobby so why ride something you didn't want.

    On my third year of riding and over 50k miles later I have yet to find myself bored of riding. Left early this morning to go hit the Kancamagus Highway and spent a few hours enjoying the twisties and the views. I commute which makes up close to half of my mileage. Unfortunately winters here are shit and they don't maintain the roads well. I'm deprived of riding from about mid December to early March due to consistent icy conditions. I will say that the rush after being deprived for about 3mo is absolutely incredible, but I'd still prefer to live somewhere I can ride year round.
    I always encourage people to hit some dirt roads for the experience. I never really had the option to avoid it since I have lived on a dirt road since before I started riding. Only time it's real sketchy is after heavy rain, Harleys don't handle mud too well haha. Gravel roads, I'm talking the HEAVY gravel roads, those are a bitch and I will avoid them if I can. It's just miserable to ride on that shit lol.
    I've been down once so far. Last year a dog decided to try and hitch a ride lol. Shit happens, get up and get back on.
    Thanks for another meme loaded video Yammie, your content is garbage, I love it.

      Lmao- I live on a dirt road that's basically a wash/creek bed. The sand gets up to a foot deep in spots after a monsoon blows through. It just sucks your tires in and it's all over from there. I ride HDs and have a Goldwing. I've tipped them all over in deep sand- no damage/injuries. I've often wondered about others misadventures when riding big heavy bikes on dirt. Thanks- Keep them knees in the breeze.

    Good video, even though I have been riding for 29 years, some Highway riding is nerve racking. Chattanooga Tennessee I 75 is a prime example. Grooved payments, road construction, idiots and you better be going at least 80 mph or you will get run over or cut off. Best advice is to stay with the traffic flow, scan for idiots, concrete on the road ahead of you and do not panic or take alternative safer routes. And yes ride the motorcycle whenever possible. It can make a mundane ride to the grocery store exciting.

  • @gnarthdarkanen7464

    I'm gonna have to suggest that we define which highways we're exactly talking about with regards to the unreasonable fears involving them. There are two kinds, you know, at least in the U.S...
    State Routes have black and white signs, frequently range in posted speed limits from 45 to 55 mph (at least around here) and can be plenty curvy for the fun of riding and challenging skills...
    Interstate Routes have blue shield-shaped signs with red banners and white lettering and typically have posted limits from 65 mph and upwards. They're smooth, relatively safe, and fast... AND they bore the sh*t out of me.
    Since many towns and cities have expected speed limits in the range of 45 mph anyway, then we shouldn't fear getting to the State Routes and taking actual trips out to the 55-ish limits... While understandably, an unfamiliar machine (in the beginning) can be intimidating to go for the 75+ of the Interstates and with some of the unpredictable behavior of other motorists, such fears are at least forgivable. Gotta walk before we can run or fly... ;o)

    My biggest fear is being stranded… regardless of make. Hard to bring every tool you might need.. just a pain in the ass. Stuck on the interstate with a simple blown fuse, with none with. Had to wait for tow(on flat bed btw) for several hours. Just yuck. To this day.. just paranoid. Other fear is Harley bros looking at you like your bike is not a Harley and it is not black in color. Seriously.. start counting black Harleys while out. Insanity of conformity.

I am 58 and it is like banging a 22 year old stripper everytime I ride it. It is a terrible street bike harder to ride than all off my sportbikes including my first gen GSXR750. They were brutal back in the day. The XRs are one of those bikes that people hated and were better on the track.
