Thank you for dropping your bike for us. š

Me watching this without any kind of motorcycle experience

That clutch turn thing is wicked smart. I realized I was doing that, and Iām very new to riding, but that helped explain a lot. I really wish they had an MSF type course for higher speed (really just normal driving speed) stuff. As my MSF instructor said ānow you are prepared to ride in a parking lot at 20mphā
-
Practicing emergency braking saved me from a crash and possibly death in one of my first few weeks of riding as a tractor pull out in front of me going 50mph. Never underestimate the importance of this!
-
one important thing i learnt today in this video is to NOT pull the clutch during corners at higher speeds - just got my license 10 days ago, now i just need to find a good second-hand bike to practice (and go to work)
-
The fact that you actually dropped your bike is insane.
-
As a new rider of 9 months I admit I have pulled in the clutch to make a turn. I always let it out slowly but I see your point. I will practice this. Thanks

I've been on motorcycles for more than 15 years, and you've really opened my eyes to how much of a fool I've been. I was basically getting everything wrong, except for handling the higher gears. I'll definitely put these tips into practice, and I'm looking forward to having much better motorcycle rides from now on. Thanks! Subscribed!!

Just to add a point to engine breaking. I treat it like turning or changing lanes. You signal. Let off the throttle, add a little touch of your back break. Just enough to light up your break light. Being rear ended in a car is scary enough.

Passed my MSF Basic yesterday in NY, and your videos played a huge part in it thank you.

Yup, I have to practice emergency braking even more. I thought I was pretty good for an inexperienced rider, at least on a straight surface. But yesterday I crashed after getting a false neutral going downhill. I relied a lot on engine breaking but when you don't have it anymore, the bike start going crazy fast, and the 1 second I tried to catch the gear I wasn't concentrate to press the breaks hard enough. When I did it was too late. I couldn't do the curve. No injuries, the bike is good. The speed wasn't to high, more fear than pain. But be careful. As a new rider, after a few thousand miles, we think we are now 100% in control of the bike. And then something new happen for the first time, the muscle memory isn't there for that situation.
-
Your content and tips are invaluable for any rider. I did a solo weekend trip and covered 320 miles all on back country roads. While approaching any curve I remembered your method of slowing down, patience and twist out of the curve. I felt confident, relaxed and safe once I got the hang of it. I never felt like āattackingā a corner. This was important as I was riding alone on deserted roads. Glad I watched your video and when the opportunity presented, implemented your technique.
-
I find amazing that someone with your riding skills can still put yourself in the shoes of a novice rider. It's obvious that you've given it a lot of thought. You're the best I've seen. Awesome work.

Brilliant, no-nonsense and absolutely essential advice for all motorcycle riders, especially point 5. Well done Mr.

Everyone should 'Save' this 10 and a 1/2 minute video. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE. Essentially, being able to stop the bike without even thinking about it... It should be the first thing you learn. At higher speeds, this becomes a bit more complicated.. you NEED to know, exactly how much space you need to get stopped... @50 @60 @ 70 @80. Do you really know??? I measured it in 'Car-lengths', that makes it easier to get... Four car lengths, five? Stopping at 10 or 15 mph is just the beginning. You need to practice out on the road, too. The weight of the bike can be confusing.. get up to 80 and mark a spot on the road, now Stop š. ... how far did it take for you to get stopped. Everyone should definitely know that... Without skidding, and without even thinking about it!! Extremely important

Thank you so much for this! As a really new rider I have been wondering about what gear to be in. You answered my question. Also, I really appreciated the explanation of not pulling the clutch in around corners. Iāve been practicing a lot of slow maneuver, drills, and I was confused on if I carry that with me through all corners. I didnāt think so but now I know for sure. Also, really loved the braking information. I have been practicing, but I just love your videos. I love to get the ideas in my head and then go try it in the parking lot. Iām just starting to get out in normal traffic a little bit and these points are so important. More things to think about. Thank you for everything!

The thing about the clutch on corners is one major downside to the beginning of the msf course. They bang it in your head, "Hey, if the bike is getting away from you, the clutch takes all the power away." While that may be true it's not good in every situation, which in my experience they do not explain.

Mad respect for you dropping your bike to give us a lesson... lol!

2 days ago I was in a line of vehicles on a road with houses on the right. Either a person pulled out of their driveway or a car 3 cars up from me decided to stop. Needless to say we went from 35 to zero instantly. Using the squeeze technique it was no problem stopping in control. Glad the truck behind me stopped. I initially applied rear brake then front.
