Keep riding Ladies! When I am riding, I love to see the ladies out there riding too!

I said before, its not. The wheels are too small, its a dangerous bike to learn on as it doesnt stop well & doesnt take bumps well - with inexperience you can easily get killed. I had a gf of mine-her husband bought her motorcycle on her bday-she lost control of it on the way home-died in his arms as he was following her in his car home. Groms dont stop well or take bumps or turns well. Just saying cause you asked. A honda 230 cc or 300 is a better starter bike imo

Hey! I have a grom and I think it’s a great starter bike. So you have a hard time down shifting and getting to 1st gear?

Really enjoyed ..Please update us on Miller..

Baby Miller is so cute

To adorable..very affectionate bAby

Shopping ..cat food and is essentials

Please do a vlog kitten haul

BaBy is beautiful

as someone wanting to buy his first motorcycle and get a grom to commute to work every day, i'm so glad I found your channel. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I love your soul, your energy, your smile, literally everything about you. I hope you have an amazing day. peace!

Congrats Briannah🎉 I want one too!

I want to get a motorcycle license

Nice to see you back

Holy crap!!! You're finally back. The road welcomes you

For the very hot days I would figure ahead of time a better way to get to a Rd that you could go faster so it would be better because of the wind... Being on Rd that you can't go no more than 20 and your stopping a lot and temperature over a 100 and with the humidity.. 😢😢

Stay on whatever you feel safe and comfy on, im 6'2, 215 lbs and i love my grom, some folks suggest a bigger bike, but bigger they are faster you go and less time you have to make a correction, i grew up riding dirtbikes from a 70 to a 500, and im more comfortable on the grom

Video idea: If you haven't already you could do a review of the grom; features, specs, likes and dislikes. Seems like your shifting is getting to be second nature now. Great job!

Get yourself some City Grip 2 tires and you'll have the more confidence in the bike and any water conditions that may come up. I've heard nothing but good things about those tires. Cause tbh the stock tires are not good.

I like to just wander as well. People ask me where I go. I tell them my motorcycle rides don't have a destination.

Briannah73, how tall are you? I think you would be better suited for a Kawasaki KLX 300 SM, because of your height. It would be a good starter bike, the grom has 12 inch tires and you will find the bigger tires safer for stopping vs the grom. I been riding most of my life & I got a GROM too....girl, trust another girl, that aint the bike for you. Its not the one for me either, this bike isnt safe to ride. anyways, just a suggestiong to keep in mind if you have the funds, you can trade your grom in. or up as they say. Thanks for the vlog.

When I was learning I went with somebody who’s a better rider once I had my own bike and practiced some of the stuff from the MSF course in a parking lot. Oh and I would stall all the time. Took practice to get used to a different bike. They do have the advanced course you could go back with your own bike and get lessons.

Nice work, glad to see a Black woman riding a Bike instead of twerking.

Welcome to the "GromReapers" greatest MC riders on the Planet !!!!!!!! You know your having fun when you've got bugs on your teeth from smiling !!!!!

I like you stay left or right, I prefer Left so you are in Drivers line of sight and watch your mirrors to make sure cage behind you is stopping. Always have an OUT. The best advice I can give any rider, " Ride like you are invisible " pretend no one can see you to protect yourself. One more: If you can on two left turn lanes use the left side. Cages like drift to the right on left turns. 👍👍👍

Try not swerving and focus on the clutch/throttle smoothness. My first vid, do not know your seat time. No biggie it just will premature chain stretch. In 1976 on my 10th birthday I got my first bike a Honda Super Cub stripped down with knobbies . Crashed it right into the swing set. Now a retired MSF instructor.🛵🛵🛵 Who knew⁉

I just came across your channel and I subscribed... great video

How tall are you? So I can get an idea of the size of the bike in relation to the rider.

a lot of people make this one mistake when putting your bike into gear. don't kick it into gear just click it into gear.

Let’s ride I have a Grom

You gotta switch gears faster

Hey Dummy !!! You don't use turn signals and you drive exactly in the oil strip in the middle of the road !! You need proper instruction before you start causing accidents. Hate biker amateurs !!!

Don't worry about the stalling, it happens to everyone especially when learning and it can teach you something you can change later or it might just be a simple mistake like thinking you're in a lower gear than you are, either way it will happen less and less and it all helps us learn in the end. Keep up the practice and ride safe ))

Avoid the leaves and Pebbles on the side of the road especially on turns

When I got the grom new I was nervous enough to snap the clutch pulling into traffic for the first time lol but I put 800 miles on it before paying the first note. Everyone saying to blip the throttle downshifting, that's called rev matching. That's great and all but I probably wouldn't worry about it at first. Normal down shifting is fine until you have basic shifting down pat. Then maybe try to add rev matching sometimes later on.

Lessons learned. You already analyzed things. Just get better every time.

What camera you use and how do you record your voice inside of the helmet?

Nice to see another woman new to a Grom! I just got one three weeks ago and downshifting had me too. It’s so much fun!

You're good. You just need more seat time. Be safe out there.

I'm a beginner as well, riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. I've gotten better at learning to listen to my bike and properly downshifting, but I've noticed that engine braking slows me down a little faster than I prefer when out in traffic. When driving my car I'm very smooth and put on my brake lights hundreds of feet ahead of time so the car behind me is prepared to slow down as well. So if someone is behind me when I'm on my motorcycle, I want them to know I'm braking by my brake light coming on. It's hard getting used to operating the brake and throttle at the same time when downshifting, so I just separate the functions for now until I get my skills up. So it's fine to just pull in the clutch and shift down a few times gradually while pulling the front brake vs blipping the throttle every downshift then applying brakes later. Just still try to have your transmission speed match your wheel speed. If not, you'll likely feel the mismatch in your left foot when trying to shift down.

Keep practicing! Stay safe out there!

It's been nice watching your journey. I have a Honda Navi, but i want to upgrade to a Grom soon.

Yesss, girl!! First of all, I love that you have your "safety area" at the church, a place for your to get re-familiar with your bike and cool off. Second, I LOVEEE that you went BACK to where you made a mistake for a do-over! That's awesome! Proud of you for staying calm and working through both stalls. Personally, when I'm coming to a stop I just have my clutch pulled in and just downshift all the way into first. I'm too much of a beginner to worry about engine braking and perfect downshifts, I know that'll come with time. Since my clutch is already pulled in, I can easily either come to a stop, or let it back out to re-engage the back tire and give me power if needed. This is just what I do, not saying it's good advice or not :) Assuming a car is going to be going just because the light is green can be dangerous. If you have a larger parking lot or quiet street to practice, you can start to get familiar with engine braking as well as rev matching, which is done more easily at higher speeds. Then once you're familiar and comfortable with that you can try it on the main road! Keep it up and I can't wait to see more!

Im proud of you sis!

Just thought of another… Get those stickers off the tank! Eventually they will start removing themselves and will leave a weird set of squares where they were.

You KNOW I came here to pick on you!!! But first imma give ya props! We talked about using 2nd gear in smaller parking lots instead of first last time and I see you did that this round!!! Seen it was way less jerky on you!! Second… Go ahead and shift up in gears!! Staying in the higher rpm’s will not only wear down that engine quicker but will also keep you switch smoother throttle response till you get more used to riding. 3rd.. Look up rev matching on TH-cam for when you are dropping gears. Let’s say you are coming up to a stop light and already in 5th or 4th. Instead of pulling in the clutch and hitting the breaks and trying to multi downshift, let the engine do it for you! Your doing great, just a few things I noticed. Keep it up and rubber side down girlie!! Now for the picking part! 🤪 QUIT POPPING THAT 11:02 CLUTCH!!!! I know it doesn’t matter much with the Grom power but if you ever decide to upgrade, that habit will bite you!

I started following you about a month ago after I bought my grom. I haven’t hit main roads yet still parking lot practicing. I enjoy your videos and watching you learn.

Yesssss I started watching ur vids when I first started riding my grom!!! Love u showing ur journey!!

It looks like when you shift gears you blip your clutch (pulling in and letting the clutch snap back out) instead of smoothly releasing the clutch. At the same time you also blip your throttle instead of being consistent with gradually rolling back and forth with throttle. A few times it seemed that your clutch hand and throttle hand weren’t exactly in sync with one another when shifting gears because your gear shifting technique is very quick and snappy. I ride a Honda 300r. The one thing that I quickly learned while riding on my bike is to be smooth with clutch, throttle, and front brake. Any kind of jerky or abrupt operation with this bike would cause to bike to ride rough and erratic. I’m thinking your stalling is caused by your clutch technique and how you use the throttle. I got it figured out by practicing the Slow Maneuverability Drills from Motojitsu last summer. The drills taught me Clutch Control, good Head Turns and Eye focus (ala Ride Like a Pro), Brake Control, and tight U-Turns. Maybe doing the Clutch Drills in the parking lot would help with you not stalling the bike. Hope this helps.

Just subscribed to your channel - love seeing your journey. Can you do a video on how to carry a passenger? I'd love to take my BF for a ride this summer!
