      Jumping into intersections is always a bad idea. Pick a lane coming out of your lane split, get ahead of that car but dont jump into an intersection! It always looks clear until IT ISNT. Dont hang out in the intersection on a left turn either. Cool skill, but bad advice.

Also in Florida and I realize you just said it, the morons here constantly run red lights. I wait at least 2 seconds before I proceed on a green light and even with that i was almost wiped out about a year ago when a girl ran a red light about 3 seconds after my light was green, then yelled at me.....complete assholes in Florida.

    Got my first bike a week and a half ago. I was very slow on starts keeping to the MSF "slowly release clutch and then apply throttle when you start to roll." Starting slow does not make other drivers in Brooklyn happy. Tried the technique in the video and didn't stall or have cars up my a** when the light turned green. My confidence also shot up without the fear of stalling at the light. Thanks. Now time to absorb the other material!

    @staninjapan07 5 років тому +17

    Good advice.
    May I add one piece myself?
    When stopping at a red light, pull all the way over the the side of the lane (if going straight over) so that any vehicle NOT stopping at the red light does not kill you. This applies to stop signs and give way junctions, too.
    I have had this happen.
    I stopped at a red light knowing that a big truck was right behind me and we were both going quickly.
    I pulled over to the very edge of the road and the truck - some 20 to 30 thousand kilos of it - sailed through the red light. It would have killed me for certain. It was inches away.
    Here in Japan almost all (I can confidently say more than 99%) of truck drivers are courteous and safe, and the speed limits are lower than in Europe / the UK, but every so often....
    In another comment below, someone mentioned 'right of way'.
    Cyclists here of all ages very frequently assume that 'right of way' and 'the physics related to stopping a car' are one and the same. I have seen many cars hit careless and daydreaming cyclists on crossings/at junctions. Also cyclists here often ride on the wrong side of the road, especially school children.
    As many have said, assume that the car drivers are careless and vengeful and that they want to hurt you, even though in most cases that is not true.
    I like this guy's presentation style.

    • @steve9503
      @steve9503 5 років тому +1

      The point you're skipping is that once you launch with your technique you have just committed yourself to be in the middle of the intersection in the next half second. You can check for cross traffic 1000 times and be right 1000 times. But the day will come when because of one thing or another (slight curve in the cross street, some trees obstructing a complete view, parked cars, whatever) you just didn't see another bike or maybe a low sport car like a Miata running the red light at high speed. On that 1001 time you are dead.

      Benjamin Smith no offense but I can’t tell if ur being sarcastic or just giving stupid advice no way should u ever ride or stop at a light lane splitting or completely alone in the middle of a lane on a motorcycle that’s literally the place with the least escape routes, the worst line of sight , the least visible and not to mention 90 percent of the highway dubree and road hazards will be caked up along the middle of lanes and in the rain most hydroplane problem areas are in the middle of the lanes .. I hope everyone understands that and practices staying on the the sides of lanes with the least hazards or if both have hazards the least deadly or less traffic or the side without exits or turn outs .

    Good stuff Eddie, I was hit once because of not getting out fast enough or maybe the car behind me just getting ahead of himself. Fun thing is I ended up sort of drifting forward with my bike turned like 70 degrees to the left and I don't know how I did it but my reaction was to hit the throttle really hard while in first gear and somehow managed to turn the bike the right way and stay on both wheels. Just had a tiny bruise on my right leg but every time I think about this, it could've been really bad for me D:

    First comment! Haha. Hi, Eddie. That´s what I usually do. Just to mention that we all need to pay attention to the cars from left and right intersection, not just from the two on our sides. That´s what it happened to me. Someone passed the red light and I can´t stop in time. All I could do was to try to pass (zig-zag) behind the car and I hit with the right-hand brake the tail light of the car. I´m recovering from my left patella injury. Regards.

    @teckin139 5 років тому +8

    I love this technique. I do this all the time too. I live in Thailand at the moment where pretty much anything goes. I do it for the exact same reason you do it. And if you think drivers are bad there come to Thailand. If I see a Thai on a bike I feel I am somewhat safe, If I see a Thai in a car I am scared. If I see a foreigner on a bike I feel scared, if I see a foreigner in a car I feel somewhat safe. But here you own the space you occupy only, you can't feel safe around you at all. I laugh at all the western people who drive here and lose their cool if someone invades their space lol. There are so many people on the roads here that this is just how it works. If people didn't drive like this you would never get to where you are going just because of the volume of vehicles. You have to be on your guard 100% of the time on public roads here.

    • @MotoJitsu

      Yeah I've ridden in Thailand, it's intense. I even went down into Phuket a few times. There's an amazing twisty mountain road up in Khao Sok national park, though if you want to ride it like the tail of the dragon, you'll need some luck to not get stuck behind a slower vehicle.

    • @teckin139
      @teckin139 5 років тому +1

      HUMMMM, I haven't driven that section of road in Khao Sok National Park but I am sure it is good. There is so much good riding here in Thailand but yes there is a lot of traffic and you have to be very careful when overtaking. I have driven in Phuket many times. I love the section of road between Surin Beach and Patong Beach, amazing quick twisties with the ocean and the ocean breeze on your side, doesn't get better than that. I also like the trip from Patong Beach to the big Buddah, mostly for the scenery on this one and not the road.

  • @mightyeagle
    @mightyeagle 5 років тому +5

    I always pull up hard to the drivers side in stopped traffic, one day the car coming up from behind rear ended the car in front of me if I wasn't hard over I would have been crushed. But only lately is it law to split traffic in Washington state. But you don't have to try as hard as you on a gsxr 1000

      Yup, we all have our own methods.

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade
      @SmallSpoonBrigade 5 років тому

      I don't think that law passed. And the law they were pushing was pretty weak. It only applied on divided highways when traffic was going under 10mph and the motorcyclist could do no more than 5 mph over what traffic was doing or something similar.
      Probably wise to introduce it like that and give people a chance to get used to it before opening it up for other streets.

  • @faanvdberg
    @faanvdberg 5 років тому +3

    If I may be permitted: At the intersection as you described, you managed to lane-share to the front, BUT you stay in-between the cars until you take off. I personally prefer moving directly in front of a car (either side - does not matter) even though I may be encroaching a little into the intersection, but of course out of the way of traffic still. Pedestrians can walk around me. That way, I "own" the lane and I leave the traffic behind me in the dust on take off (having of course made sure that the intersection is safe to enter and cross after green lights). Why do you prefer instead to remain in-between the cars after lane-sharing to the front?

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  5 років тому

      Most of the time the cars are all the way up to the stop line or cross walk, and it's illegal to have any part of your car in the crosswalk.

  • @stanleyknife1967

      @joo7932 5 років тому +2

      If they're only allowed to turn left on those lanes, you can probably assume that the car on left is turning left too. I've never seen that there are lanes so you can drive foward on the left lane and turn left on the right lane

  • @lilyrose8619
    @lilyrose8619 5 років тому +6

    Hi Eddie, from Melbourne Aust here. Eddie, that was good advice. Subscribed. I’m in my mid 60’s & have been riding for 45 years. From the days of the K series Honda 750’s & the old CB Hondas & Kawasaki 2 stroke triples. Although i know how important position is, observation, escape route & assumption of other motorists stupidity, sometimes you get slack & you revert to riding as you drive a car. Laziness & not being switched on. Listening to what you said pulled me back into line. Will keep an eye on your videos. Cheers mate.

    I mean that’s cool and all, but I’ve been at a light and was ready when the opposite light turned yellow, when my light turned green, I took off fast, got about 6 ft into the intersection and a car ran the red light and missed me by about 3 ft. So yea I’ll probably never do it again lol just my experience with taking off quickly. I’m cool with being patient and waiting 2 seconds before entering the intersection. Like you said “stupid is everywhere”

    • @MotoJitsu

      No, it's not something for every occasion but it is something to learn. You may need to make a quick decision and need to convert from a normal start to a fast one. So sitting there with the clutch held and the throttle cracked open is perhaps not the best way to do it. But do learn how to do a fast one with full control.

      Yes, but he covered that "once the road is clear". A lot of people calling this poor guy out for trying to help others over for the look left and right, and yes, people in Cali run reds all the time, hence the "once the road is clear", you launch. Common sense is not so common anymore... Riding on the streets for 25 years, riding moto for 45 years. I thought I knew everything, so I decided to test my abilities and hit a racetrack. Thats where I found out how fast I wasnt! Learned more in 1 day at the track than 5 years of weekend riding. Now 56 track days in 3 yrs, the street scares me even more than before. But i know my abilities and my bikes as well, so I am more likely than ever to avoid the idiot moves you do when you "think" you know how to ride.

  • @Johny40Se7en
    @Johny40Se7en 5 років тому +2

    Brilliant tip. Whenever I filter / lane split and go to the front at traffic lights I always sort of cut across the car at the front at a bit of an angle so they can't go anywhere even if they wanted to, and then if there's time I make eye contact with them or at least look at them in the mirror.
    Some might say that some people might not like how you've pushed in and cut them off but it's ok, they can't go anywhere unless they go through you and if you're filtering in traffic you have to be able to judge what's going on because it's always a risk doing it but don't go to the front of your going to be slow and hold the cars up when it's time to go, that's not right.

    • @MotoJitsu

    I want to get a bike, and probably will soon, but these tips are so useful even for somebody in a car. Its important to stay out of these dangerous situations even in a car, and more important on a bike. Thanks for being so honest about the dangers and failures of riders to anticipate them.

    Thank you. I'm a noob. I was making a left hand turn today and stalled out. Thank god I didn't get killed. I'll go to a parking lot and keep practicing this technique. I need to learn how much my wet clutch can take. Was taught for years in a car to minimize clutch transfer time. Love your videos. I can tell you a truly a nice guy.

    Not bad advise, just not perfect.... well it’s not a perfect world. I used to bolt out from red lights, but one day I just felt like taking my time. As I began to move forward a youngster blew the red light at about 70 mph. Never saw him coming never heard him coming and would not be alive today had I moved any quicker. Now days I just sort of blend in with the traffic as we move away from the streetlight. I like your comment about staging your self at the right rear of the car in front of you then once the light turns green and they begin to move forward you can split through them after the intersection. Again not bad advice, but it is a little like playing Russian roulette.

      Again, I make sure it's clear before going...and only if I feel I need to. I would be dead if I blindly took off every green.

      Fast Eddie’s Motorcycle Fun Thank you for your reply and your point is well taken. You are very knowledgeable and I respect your videos in the information that you provide. I’ve been riding for over 40 years and I think you’ll agree that even if we did everything right there’s going to be some knucklehead trying to take us out. I’m doing one more track day in Carolina next month and I think it will be my last. At 60 years old I just have too much to lose, awesome grandkids and stuff you know🤗

      I understand..I try to keep reminding everyone, all my videos are only 30% of what there is to say...I can't make 3 hour videos, no one will watch so I just say big points and ideas and hope people will be motivated to try things out on their own.

    Trying to be positive, but this is the silliest thing I’ve seen on UA-cam.
    Bikes 9 times out of 10 will be faster than your average car.
    There is no need to preload the engine like this, you could easily go just as fast clutching out and giving the bike gas.

      Fast Eddie’s Motorcycle Fun I mean I have a Harley which is slower than most bikes, and I have no problem beating cars out of the gate. Not that I ever try, because there’s no need for that nonsense.

    • @Stanginsean281
      @Stanginsean281 5 років тому +8

      Ive seen plenty of riders who do not prioritize taking off with any sense of urgency. They just causally take off, slowing all the traffic they just split past which 1 is dangerous for reasons eddie stated as well as could piss off everyone behind you who are in 2 ton vehicles which is never a good idea.

    • @Rangerdanger575
      @Rangerdanger575 5 років тому +2

      Sean Wagner I’ve never “taken off slowly” I keep up with traffic. But it doesn’t mean I have to punch it every time I leave a light. Here it’s illegal to split lanes, so there’s no problem.

      Cool. That helps but in Canada land splitting is not allowed. By the way, I noticed there is always one guy on a normal vehicle each time when I am on the bike, who will go nuts try to race me and try to win. I know they don't stand a chance but then again I don't want to break any speed posted laws. I value my driver's license.😊 So I slow down.

  • @gili7333
    @gili7333 5 років тому

    I like to check which side left or right is likely to be the slower away given driver or vehicle age or type, and or stay on in the middle of the lanes until well clear. Keep up the good word, you’re well matured above you’re years, thanks.

    Hi buds! Just wanted to let you know I was at an intersection today with a kid on a hot rod bike and watched him do exactly what you're talking about - tried to get away fast and stalled it! The bike behind him almost ran into him. Your vid jumped into my head immediately!!
    Earlier in the day up by Julian, saw a guy on a Harley try to make a simple left turn, oversteer, stall and almost dump the bike in the street.
    Can't put enough emphasis on training, keep up the good work!!
