A small tip: Be very careful in gas station parking lots, especially after a rain.
They are often times very slick from spilled fuel, and both braking and accelerating can be dangerous.
Thanks for the tip we learned it rough way 😅 My friend's moped flyed under him literally, i cant even imagine what a 1000cc bike would do.
When you pull the clutch that kills the bike right
only if you don't give it gas when in gear bro, so if you don't gas it in 1st-6th gear but it won't kill the engine/turn it off if you pull the clutch in neutral, it might just slowly start to creep or move the bike forward. Hope that helps you.@@juliodiaz4493
@@juliodiaz4493doesn't kill it, but it disconnected the engine from the front wheel, meaning your pretty much in neutral Untill it's let out again.
Good video, but three important things are still missing:
1) The motorcycle is heavy. Even the lightest and smallest one is of excess of 250 pounds! You briefly mentioned that, but the new rider must be aware of that so not to drop it out of surprise. I myself nearly dropped the bike the first time I got on it because I didn’t expect it to be THAT heavy.
2) High speed turns are made by primarily counter steering. This is extremely important. So many people don’t know that. I almost crashed during one of my first rides because I forgot about it and I was essentially steering the bike the opposite way! I think this must be stressed several times to let people remember that very important aspect of riding.
3) Even though the controls of the motorcycle are way more simple than of the car, a short walkthrough around all the controls like turn indicators, lights, and horn would be not only entertaining, but also helpful to show the riders-to-be that there’s nothing insanely difficult or complicated there.
In any case, thank you for the video, and it was enjoyable to watch even not for the beginner. Cheers from Vietnam!
DUDE, I bought a Himalayan and it’s 450+ lbs. Freaked me out. It’s still taking some getting used to but I had to find the center of gravity and acclimate to the weight. When you see old ladies doing it you know you’ll be fine.
I was going to mention many of the points you bring up. Your first point is something people don't take into consideration. No two bikes have the same center of gravity. Your second point on counter-steering is always overlooked in the how-to videos on riding motorcycles for beginners. All you need to do is put a little pressure on the handlebar on the direction your turning and the bike starts turning. Also, some older bikes have a manual choke that you have to pull out until it is warmed up. No two bikes are alike and each have their unique riding features. I've ridden many thousands of miles on various bikes and you never can take the bike for granted. You have to respect the power the bike has or if you become lazy you can be seriously hurt if your are a careless rider. I've written bikes over 40+ years. I always ride like I'm invisible. I enjoyed your comment.
This explanation reduced a lot of my anxiety around getting a new bike and actually made it feel possible for me. Thank you for this!
Yea my first bike is a Harley and I’m a little nervous
@@harleykester7710practice your waddle
UA-cam reccomendations are again beeing useful ... I never had motorcycle , i'm planning to get one myself till next summer , and this one is my 1st choice ... When i asked some question in motorcycle forums, many are making fun of me because i want this Indian .Still didn't watch video till end, i wonder what you're gonna say...
These bikes are incredibly fun. Anyone making fun of you is an idiot.
Hopefully you get a badass bike and have safe fast rides for dayssss
Buy it. Fellow bikers will thumb you, girls will love you and the kids will wave you. Neighbours will hate you. I know, got one. Sretno.
Same !! Very helpful !
Did you get the motorcycle???
Thanks. Im 38 and have never rode a bike before. I'm getting one soon so trying to learn everything i can.
You rode a bycycle before, right?
@nikhilesh9445 well yeah
Great video. Experienced bikers may laugh at how basic this is, but vids like this are extremely helpful to the new riders.
I recently bought a boat and never boated before. I never found anything like this for boating and could have benefitted from a basic beginner video.
Kudos to you and that is a beautiful Indian you have my friend.
It does a lot to alleviate the initial feeling stupid anxiety you can go in feeling like you know something to start at least
Haven’t rode any dirt bikes or quads in years. This year I’ll be getting my first bike. So grateful for understanding and quality teachers like this guy. Thanks man!
*ridden
The part where you said riding a motorcycle may be easier balanced than a bicycle made my anxiety of getting one fade away
Me too.
This is actually perfect and makes it so much simpler. Thank you so much!
I must be a weirdo, because I’ve been riding for 12 years and just love watching any video about bikes that comes across my feed. Great video!
I actually started riding back about two years ago without any experience what so ever i watched a vid similar to this one and it was VERY helpful this guy covers everything in great details very educational and simple…
For someone who has barely ever ridden a motorcycle this explanation and the chill music calms my nerves a lot haha
Not only was this video incredibly helpful, I also want to get an Indian Scout bike. Thank you for this.
Don't get Royal Enfield, Get Yezdi Bikes or Truimph ( It's British ) they are Classic bikes in india but sadly Yezdi stopped Production,
Hey squarewhite, your explànation of "learning how to ride" was a great visual, and, verbal tutorial on how it's done-NEWB here and I like to always stay up on my skills level. Your video presentation does that work perfectly, and, helps to remove nearly all the "nervous Nellie" out of the equation! Keep up the great work in helping new riders become "confident" riders!🏍️👍😁⭐😜🏍️🐻 Doug, and, I just started riding properly just over a year ago.
This was a great video. I’ve always wanted to ride and this year I’m finally taking the steps towards getting my permit/license and a bike. I’m looking at just getting a used 250cc for now. Fortunately my last car was a manual, so a lot of this video really clicked for me in terms of clutch/shifting. Thanks again.
Bought my first bike because this video didn’t know much about the names of bike or anything and next thing you know I bought the same bike. Crazy how life works man. Hope all is well. Bike will be here in a few weeks had to order it. Peace out man
I was struggling with understanding downshift from a high gear high speed. Your video clears that up. You have a good one buddy
What a lovely bike and sound.
Ive never sat on a bike and watching this has made me think!
Im 63 now better get a move on. Great video . Thanks.
Beautiful. Thank you. I lost a buddy back in 98 and another has a crazy accident maybe 17 years ago, but I always had a secret passion for bikes. This was very cool of you.
Only about half way thru the video but man you really did a great job in this this tutorial. There still some anxiety however you helped a lot
Getting ready to start lessons in a month from Harley. I’ve been nervous about riding, but your video puts me at ease
OMG thank you so much, i used your video to learn how to ride my Yamaha Vstar 650 and you took me from complete beginner to confortable ridding my bike in one day, you are a motorcycle ridding professor thank you thank you thank you❤
I need to fly this guy out to come chill with me and teach. He has the patience of doing this video. I just got my first bike and this is a great video.
I'm very new to the scene, and I will be getting the Indian Scout Bobber as my first ever, I know it has a lot of power, especially for a first bike for a beginner like me, but I did hear that the weight and the fact its low height helps maintain stability. This video is super informative and exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Scout bobber sixty is a good choice if you're a beginner. Doesn't have the six speed transmission as the scout but it still feels great.
Maybe you should get a moped first, bro.
if you respect the power of the bike you’ll be okay but make sure you don’t put yourself in situations uou can’t get out of. also on a more powerful bike like the scout just remember the phrase “its better to be safe then broken”
How’s your experience by now? I just bought a 2023 Indian scout rogue, 5 miles new. Zero experience barely got permit, course for dmv certification next week. I have my cdl which I learned to drive 10/13spd with no experience so I imagine I can learn the motorcycle but I understand it’s dangerous but my job hauling fuel is dangerous too…
@@BunkGarage
How is it going for you now with your Indian
You know what? ..I was thinking about grief.,, But that's actually the most educational lesson I've ever seen!!! Dude, you Rock!!! True professional!! and from a lot of Us.... Thank You so very much!!!
Good video...I am newbie but haven't ridden in about 5 years. THIS was a great refresher! 💯 Thanks for taking the time to explain everything 👍
This is the best tutorial that I’ve come across on UA-cam. Thanks.
Thank you for taking your quality time to help guys like me get the move on. I recently bought myself a XR500R dirt bike. My bike is so high that my feet don't touch the ground no matter how i try unless one side is high ground. I haven't rode it yet because I'm worried about balance and take of and stopping but with these kind of videos I have confidence and will ride very soon. Trust me. Thank you
I love your bike! Great step by step demonstration! Thank you! 😊
I'm watching this while on my way on a 8 hour train trip to buy my first Indian Scout
I ride, getting a Bobber tomorrow-ish and this is awesome. Wanted to re-familiarize myself with a bob before going into the dealership tomorrow, its been a minute. Good job dude!!!
Thanks so much for such a simple explanation for someone who does not not anything about motorcycles and might considering getting one. I need it those simple and yet necessary explanations on the basic.
Day 1 of my 3-day rider course begins this evening. Thank you so much for this resource!
I watched this whole bike video....and ive been riding motorcycles on and off road for my entire adult life. Love the bike. Cant wait to get mine paid off so i can get one just like it!
Thank you. I just bought my first Harley. It is a 2010 Fatboy, and I haven't rode in almost 20 years. Last time i did it was a CBR1000. It's completely different. This was so helpful.
Best bike tutorial I could find on the net. Collecting my BMW R18 classic in a few days and your video gives me a solid foundation. Subscribed!
Oh god no.
I’m buying a vn900 Saturday. It’s my first bike, and this really helped giving me an idea how to shift through the gears
GREAT VIDEO…you’re a BORN INSTRUCTOR…👍🏼❤️😎
Beautiful bike.
Sat on a black one yesterday, instantly fell in love.
10/10, just recently bought a CBR500R and was extremely apprehensive with riding, I was getting that stall-jerk from N -> 1. Finally did a few laps and stops around a church lot, WAY more confident now. Really appreciate the vid man.
How is the CBR? Thinking of my first bike also.
@@ryanching12 Love it, throttle is a bit sensitive and takes a bit to get used to, but what bike doesn't? I'd recommend it if you can get a used one that hasn't been ridden into the ground, or New if you can afford it!
@@Aynawn Nice, thank you! Yes, would be first bike. Think that or the mt07. I like the honda though
Your first bike is a 500? lol A crotch rocket at that? Nice knowing you.
@@salazam Can confirm, am dead
Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for bike and all, thank you for taking the time to make this!
I just got my Bobber and this video was super helpful as a new rider. Thank you so much for this!
A year later , how’s your progress? I’m about to become a new rider. Bit scared
@deadicated9525 Coming up on 2 years. Actually have an Indian Challenger now. Between the Scout and that I've out down a good 20k miles. Did a 2,500 road trip last summer. Getting along great!
Take your time, don't worry about looking a noob. Take the MSF course! It will help a lot and is a really good foundation. Above all, don't overthink it. Stay safe!
I already ride but I'm here for that gorgeous Indian bike and rumble.😁 Nice 👍
Thanks for the video. Used to repair appliances in that neck of the woods. I can finally come cruise those roads proper with the KTM
That was actually very helpful. I’m thinking about getting my first bike and I’ve never ridden. He also made it look very fun. I wish I was doing that lol
Great video! I'm taking a class in 2 weeks and plan on getting a bike by October thank you for making this! I feel way more confidential
You should take an English class while you're at it.
@@salazam okay for what exactly? Are you pointing out grammar on a non formal UA-cam comment? Oh I see my auto typing said confidential not confident so you pointed that out to make yourself feel smart. Thanks breh I'm feeling your big dick energy through the screen I love it
Great video for beginners. Everybody that starts out should watch this.
Seen so many riding videos as am getting my 1st bike soon. However this was unique from the neutral stall to the stop light advice and CoG balancing.
RIP, squid
@@salazam what now?
You explained this so well. Thank you so much my dude, awesome video❤️
Love your bike. I am in the process of getting a Scout Rogue prior to taking my MSF class. I love the bike, but have never actually rode a motorcycle. I want to have one when I complete my course in June so I am not waiting a month and can get right into enhancing my skills in the church parking lot across the street.
Yeah... a parking lot... you'll be a regular Wayne Rainey in no time.
super instruction video..haven't riddena bike since1966 ..royal enfield 350 tomorrrow..thanks again
This video has been extremely helpful! I’m on my way out to practice on my 1st Harley…the Street 750! Thank you for helping me reduce my anxiety…👏🏽☺️🖤
absolutely love this video, thank you so much for making this for the complete noobies like me! this is awesome
Sell your bike, you don't belong on the road.
Love that white paint job. Wish the scout sixty bobber was available in that white.
Man, that is a sweet looking bike! Love the whitewall tires!
This guy is great teacher God bless you his very helpful patience
Good stuff man. Just bought a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber Twenty in Sagebrush Smoke. Love it. Love it. Love it.
Right on! Welcome to the family
Amazing video! Love in depth and honest tips best video 8ve found
Great video! Definitely saving this one.
Excellent video! I am hoping to get my first bike soon (definitely going with a cruiser), and I was pretty intimidated by the task before. This is coming from someone who has high confidence with car control on a race track!
Just a simple how-to like this made it seem more approachable so I don't show up to class totally ignorant.
beautiful bike...perfect teaching
Great video! Super helpful!
Muy buen video y muy bien explicado.
Ansioso por más de tu contenido en esa belleza.

Great detailed explanation you took your time and it’s very helpful since I’ll be going to take my class soon.
You’ve got my dream bike. Hopefully be riding one by this time next year
I’m from Springfield MA where Indian was first started
I am just starting theory now but can't wait to get my hands on the bobber, good content thanks, gonna check your other videos, to dream a little
Thanks for checking out my work. Riding motorcycles is easier than it may sound in my explanation, you’ll see!
I love this. I’m a female who wants a Harley so bad so I’m determined to learn how to ride. This is perfect for me. Thank you so so much,¡
Harley as a first bike? Really they are so heavy!!
I’m a tough girl. I can handle heavy. Thank you.☺@@koolermild4432
Awesome video brother i want to start riding this is a great start for me thank you
What a beautiful bike ! 🤩👍
Awesome video, doubt anyone could explain any better, seems just like driving my manual car pretty much!
This is a great video. Thank you very much. I’m looking at starting my motorcycle journey and aim to get an Indian scout bobber, which I think this is? Such a helpful and thorough video. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Thats a really nice bike you got. Im getting ready to buy my first bike in spring. Im doing as much research as i can in the meantime.
Dude thank you for this!
Great vid only thing you missed is the unwritten rule of rev bombing when going under a bridge and the biker wave :)
I did, I'll have to redo this and include those lol
Awesome lesson. Thank you for sharing your tips ❤❤❤
good job, man! thanks!
Awesome video, gives me a lot of confidence
Really enjoyed your tutorial dude,thanks.
Thank you for this video, you've made it very clear and easy to understand😊
Don't know how I got here, but i'm glad I did. Thanks for the awesome lecture. I still need to pratice, because my first reaction is grabbing the throttle. Going for an electric motorcycle.
Well done vid, young fella - nice bike.
A very well explained tutorial. Really useful. Thank you.
Thank you man this video is awesome
Great video my friend 👏🏼
wicked video - your a boss for this
Wow... thats one nice bike, dude!)
Good for you!)
Thank you, amazing video and extremely helpful. Just purchased my Scout Bobber and have not rode in 42 years so starting all over.
Thank you so much for this helpful video... and your bike is kick-ass nice ... 🙂
VERY UNDERSTANDING I LIKE TIPS , NEW RIDER SO THANKS
Thank you for the informational video I am actually thinking about getting a motorcycle myself bro
Great video and very helpful for us noobs. I'm getting a brand new Royal Enfield 350 Meteor. $4,500 and it's a beautiful quality bike and one that is perfect to learn on. It's a cruiser and I plan to learn on it than get a 2nd bike. I've only rode dirtbikes so motorcycle on the road is new to me and just wanna start small and build my confidence.
Your first bike should be no more than $400. You _are_ going to drop it. Why? Why are you people so dumb?
