      This is basically the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) here in the UK, and with that you can only ride a scooter or a 125cc Motorbike, Although you will do more of this going for the next level or full A licence. The licensing then gets a little complicated depending on your age so I won't confuse and bore you with the A1, A2 and A licence Mod 1 and Mod 2 information 😂

      @@KawasakiZH For the A1, A2 and A licence you do have to do a theory test and a hazard perception test beforehand.
      A1 allows scooter and 125cc motorbike riders to ride without L-plates and don't have to redo the test every two years as they would on the CBT.
      A2 allows youngsters who have been riding for two years to ride anything 49bhp and below, some higher powered bikes can be restricted and ridden.
      Then after two years or when over 24 years old you can go for the full unrestricted A licence. If you are over 24 when you decide biking is for you you can go for the full licence straight away, but the CBT will be part of your training still, before training for the Module 1 and Module 2 tests.

    Fun fact: in Italy and some other EU countries the cone exercise you show at the beginning is done to pass the license test. The difference is the cones are at 13 feet distance and you have to do it much slower. Also the U turn is also 13 feet wide. You have to do it in more than 25 seconds, anything less and no license for you.

      In some of the EU countries you also get to Lane Filter/Split.
      It makes sense to learn slow weave to get your license when you will be slowing going in between cars.
      In Amerika, it being car-centric and anti-smallVehicles (including motorcycles and scooters) they don't make us do the slow weave to get a license because when would we be legally using it on the road?
      100% agree that if/when we get lane splitting nationally legal, (in about 50-150 years) that we should implement this training to get a license.

    Hi Carolyn: Thanks for another great video. I’m 70 year old retired firefighter (retired 12 years ago) with chronic back pain. I’ve been practicing some of your (and motojitsu’s) drills. I was practicing U turns at the high school parking lot, trying to achieve the 16 foot U turn (2 parking spaces). I was good at 20-25 feet and when I attempted the 16 foot U turn, I dropped my 2012 BMW 1200RT, putting some nasty scratches on my side case. First thing I thought was “what would Doddle do!” I tried unsuccessfully to pick it up, when I nice lady with a huge barking dog came and helped me. I thanked her and she said to her dog “come on HARLEY let’s go! Guess I should get some crash guards? Thanks again for being YOU!

I mentioned you in the classroom portion. Just casually I was like, 'I was watching a motorcycle youtuber. Her channel is Doodle on...' and the teacher was like, 'oh, sure! I love watching Doodle...' and then 30% of the class was like, 'yea, that's a great channel...' Well done! I'm right outside of Charlotte and did my MSF in Upstate SC.

    It is great watching others learn things us old guys take for granted. In the 70s most every kid had an Enduro bike. These bikes were anywhere from 75 to 350cc. We had gravel pits and many trails to learn in. After thrashing our bikes in the pits we then rode the bike home ,to school, or to do paper routes. It was a great time to be a teenager. Keep practicing and making videos.

    Great job! But why do you give yourself so little space while doing the snowman? You start your turns so tight that you easily have another meter of space before hitting the cones. Going a little wider would make for an easier turn/circle, which could be a bit more forgiving in case you make any mistakes, but also would give you more space on the road and in your head to properly assess the situation. For me this helped to relax a bit more, relaxing my body, making the turns a lot smoother.
