You passed the beginner course and bought an 850 lb motorcycle?

Published 2021-01-03
In this video, we have a rider that got his motorcycle endorsement, then went out and purchased a motorcycle way too heavy for his skill level. The good news is, since this rider is not a quitter, he will eventually get the proper techniques. He'll probably need a one on one lesson with a smaller bike to really get it.

    He hasn't ridden 10,000 miles, he's ridden 1 mile 10,000 times.
  • @GoatyHerps
    At least he has the awareness to realize he needs the class. 🤷
  • @MiliGenkishi
    I'm proud of that man for trying and actually going to a course. Something like 70% of all riders where I live don't even have a license. So respect for trying and not quitting.
  • @Easterhands
    "There's no quit in this guy" I commend that. I'd be so embarrassed, I couldn't handle what this guy is doing. Huge props to him.
  • Fear causes hesitation...and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.
  • @razzz6391
    That rider will get better, because he clearly wants to. 👍🏼 keep practicing brotha
  • @mattmcgary2404
    Learning to ride a motorcycle is easy compared to learning the HUMILITY that rider has to be able to just pick his bike up and keep going again and again. Godspeed to that rider, I hope he is a pro on that thing now

    I passed my big bike test 10 years ago here in the UK. The u turn is one manoeuvre I could not perfect until my instructor said 'point your eyes where you want the bike to go' and it was genuinely that simple. On test day I perfected the u turn with about 5 feet spare. Running a heritage softail now and don't even think about u turns now they just come naturally. Top video buddy đź‘Ť

    Clearly wants to advance his skills or he wouldn't be there.
  • @mikedanaher3413
    I give him credit for trying to improve his skills. Many out there who don’t.
  • @Nothing-it3kk
    99% of the people watching this video: “I’m totally the guy in the white shirt”…heart rate elevated by the end of the video.
  • @CharlieSolis
    He’s focusing on what he shouldn’t hit instead of focusing on where he should go. It makes me wonder if he’s crashed hard once before already. Good on him for practicing!
  • @SlickZae
    Respect to the man, he knows he needs to develop the skills and is taking action to do so. Dropped it but kept on going.
  • @rangeroadmoto
    I could never be an instructor. You have the patience of a saint.
  • @thebob6385
    I sympathize with him. It can be very frustrating, so kudos for his persistence as a student, and yours as an instructor.
  • @arom8438
    16yrs ago, I rode a bike for 6mnths and quit! Your video is not only showing me all the mistakes I made. It gives me the confidence of tackling Motorcycles again and now I have a goal, of maneuvering, exercises, and safety. I’m buying your CD or downloading it, and gonna try as many as I can!. I really Appreciate your sincere heart of trying to help people be better riders. Thank you so much. !!!!
  • @vozanderson8665
    god i kept watching him like I watch a dvd logo hoping it'll finally just get that corner perfectly
  • Sometimes, people get flustered and can’t recover their composure until they walk away for a few days and then come back and try again. Often times they will come back then immediately “get it” and all is well. Hopefully that will be the outcome for this rider.

    I went through a 2 week motor school when I worked as a LEO. At the time we were on HD Electra Glides. Most fun I can remember having, yet the hardest thing I've ever done. You need intimate knowledge of your bike to know how much throttle, brake, and clutch to make it through those tight turns and circles. One of the first things our instructors told us, "Everyone can ride fast. It takes skill to ride slow."
  • @W333dm4n
    legend says hes still trying to make that turn to this day
