Fear gets you hurt or worse. Respect and situational awareness keeps you upright and alive.
I choose to use the term “respect” rather than “fear”. I understand completely what you are saying but fear is what keeps a lot of people from riding altogether. But, myself with over 400,000 miles to my credit, I don’t have fear as much as I have respect. Respect for the machine, respect of the conditions, respect for the risk.
I think "caution" is the best way to describe the emotion and thoughts that guide motorcycle riding. It is about ones knowledge of the danger and constant vigilance to avoid harm.
The mental aspect of riding is very important.
I enjoy watching all your videos.
I say you truly keep your ego in check and it shows the way you had no problem letting the cage in. Having that ego control and a healthy dose of fear or respect will help keep you out of trouble most of the time.
Keep up the good work.
Never had fear when it came to riding, but after getting into an accident in May 2019. Fear has set in. When the Jeep came perpendicular to me and I tee-boned her, I don't think I will ever get on a bike again. Now I have complete confidence in myself, I have avoided many collisions in the past. It really comes down to, to many people not paying attention to the road or to the surroundings. Been a rider since '94 and this is may only accident and will be my last.
A lot of folks seem to have problem with the use of the word fear, but i'm cool with it. There are some days when i'm commuting on my bike when i look at the pace of traffic and the cars start jumping around between lanes. FEAR is the word to describe my feelings. Like you said, there is a difference between have a sense of fear, and being terrified. Respect all the time, fear when it's appropriate, and avoid any situations that would be terrifying.
Every time I get on my bike the possibilities come to my mind. In the Up of Michigan deer are the biggest problem there are times nothing you can do will prevent hitting them!
Deer scare the Hell out of me as well. You have some beautiful riding up there, however!
I always enjoy your videos, ride safe.
FEAR isn't the problem. Overcoming fear is what most fail to accomplish. Fear should keep you aware and alert. Like the saying goes...Fear stands for"False Evident Appearing Real".
Continuing training and practice helps me a great deal. And I agree with your key words "Some Degree of Fear" is good.
Good video topic
Great video, hope to see you at Wing Ding.... Start the Trace at Loveless dinner for breakfast and then head on down the Trace, Just did it last month....
Ride your ride , toss your ego aside.and yes a certain amount of fear, keeps the respect, of the enjoyment from riding a more pleasurable experience
I took the class for my motorcycle license a couple years ago and one of the things we were taught was to not occupy the right side of your lane because it invites people to come into your lane, like what happened to you. They taught us to stay in the left hand portion of your lane because you stand out a little more. Just saying.
Ok - the barrels are leased, and at a pretty low rate. There's not that much money in leasing them out. But nice dream.
I do tend to stay in the left side of the lane, for the reason you describe. However, when I see someone coming up on my left side and see them holding a cell phone, I know there is a good chance they are coming over into my lane. It happens to me 3 or 4 times a week. The rules you describe only work if people are actually driving their cars. They are NOT. They are texting and just happen to be behind a wheel at the time.
Cruiseman's Garage Yes. I also wear a helmet cam just so I can document their behavior. I once followed and confronted a young woman who pulled over into my lane and forced me to deviate. Without the cam. it would be my word against theirs. Enjoy your videos. 🤔
I made plans on being at WD41 before I purchased my 2019 DCT. I will be traveling from the Melbourne, FL area and will arrive a day early (8/26). Looking forward to meeting you Cruiseman!
Another great MotoVlog Cruiseman!
I'''ve been riding for the last 25 yrs. I think with age comes a little wisdom and it's wise to have a healthy fear while riding. A little fear and a little risk is what attracted me to motorcycles to begin with.
You are one of the most conservative riders I've seen...
I’ll be there
Good video cruiseman! I love the gold wing crowd. I used to own a vintage 1984 gl1200 standard. Now I ride an FJR1300 but love your videos and the gold wings.
Hey Cruiseman I've been riding for over 50 years and my motorcycle is my primary transportation year round. I agree with you that you must respect the motorcycle and all traffic conditions, it could be vehicles, road conditions, or animals. We riders must anticipate the worst possible scenario and have a contingency plan for trying to avoid an accident. Yes you do need a small amount of fear when riding but don't let that take away the fun and pleasure motorcycling brings. To much fear would make riding undesirable. Hope to see you at Wing Ding.
I agree with you 100%. My first bike was a 1978 Honda CB750 with the Hondamatic transmission. I bought it in 1980 and had it about 2 years before selling it. I had to lay it down twice because people pulled in front on me. I always wore my safety gear. After those incidents I stopped riding because the second time tore up my bike pretty bad and I didn't want to spend the money on repairs so just got rid of it. Now since I am single again and my son is grown I want to get back into riding and the new Goldwing is what I am looking at. I am watching as many of your videos as I can and many by Traxxion so I can learn how to do various things with my new bike when I get it. I will be getting your DVD set on the 2018 Goldwing as soon as I get my bike.
Mike Cole and I will be at Wing Ding on the 28th and 29th. We plan on riding the Natchez Trace after leaving Wing Ding. We will be camping along the Trace and plan on taking several days to experience as much of it as we can. Hope to see you there. Continue to ride safe, Gerald
My question is, what do you do for syncing the video between the two cameras?
Couple of options in FCPX. One is Multi-Cam, but most commonly I use audio synchronization.
I have been riding for 30+ years, including 11 professionally. "Fear" is a bit alarmist. I have a healthy expectation in other road users being unpredictable. So I ride like they are out to get me - Ha Ha. Sorry, I think this video missed the mark. In any activity you undertake you need to continually assess risk; that's called concentrating and awareness
Hey Cruiseman, you never seem to get any bugs on your windshield! Here in the UK, when I go out for a ride my windshield ends up getting plastered in dead bugs, which are a pain to get off. Do you just not have any bugs where you live or do you clean them off before each vlog?
Keep up the good work!
I do get bugs, I just wash my windshield (typically) before I do a moto vlog.
Cruiseman;
Im in Grapevine area and recently bought an ‘07 GL1800 Wing and I’d like to meet sometime for short rides and DIY chat.
I agree that respect is a better word, but the word respect has gotten cheapened to just mean courtesy, so it doesn’t have the power it used to.
Respect is the right word. And if you ever reach a day where you don't respect your bike, you better get off of it before it kills you.
When GOD is ready for you, there is no stopping him. On the bike or in your favorite chair at home. Just keep your head on a swivel and keep an eye on the mirror. I was one of those arm chair quarterbacks. Easy to talk when it had not happened to me. Like it did to you there. Hate when the cagers do not care. I was once equal to the person's right front wheel and she kept coming over. Kisan Headlight Modulator and my 150db Air horn was not gonna stop her. I was blessed to lock it up just before the curb. My only pleasure was, her state plates were expired. I reported it to security forces at the gate at the AF Base I work. She had to walk to work. They made her park outside the base. Would not let her on. :)
