If this guy isn’t an instructor he real should be the way he explains is brilliant your videos are really helping me out got my mod1 on Monday it’s Friday now and how my nerves are gaining strength I’m going to be really nervous even though my instructor keeps stating how I’m really good and better than what he was when he first started riding in a way I know I’m ready for mod1 but mod2 uffff
Hi. Got my CBT a month ago and bought a 125. I'm out each day practicing as I want to get my class 'A' license. Love your videos and am learning alot from watching them. So want to say thank you so much for these, as they are really helping me build up to my full license. Thank you 🙂
Just returned to riding after 20 years on a cb500f.even though I used to class myself as a experience rider averaging 20 thousand mile a year I now class myself as a beginner the basics are still there but little tips like this are helping a lot.
Got my Mod 2 on Monday at Ayr. Buzzing to get my L plates off my bike and to get a nice big bike. It's bloody expensive but it's gonna be well worth it
Not going to argue with a seasoned biker but I’d be a tad wary of positioning your bike so far over to make the turn as shown @3:14 As a car driver I’ve seen more and more motorists take a wider turn and almost clip my own car when I’m stopped and waiting to turn just because they turn into my lane or at least cut over the marked dotted central line. Now I’ve just passed my CBT 5 days ago, I’ve been out on exactly 2 rides, one was bringing my new secondhand back home, and when faced with these junctions I try to stay a bit right of centre of the lane I’m in. Still turn the handlebars, but just not so far across that other drivers clip me…or worse.
Haha, how dare they take over your car park! Don't they know how important their car park is to people learning to ride from your videos? I did learn about that manoeuvre, but can't remember if they gave it a name. Hope all is well with you dude. Glad you're out enjoying the fine weather. And keep up the good work 😁
Cheers for the tip, though I did learn a bit about this leading up to my test. The only place where I've found this method awkward is turning right at Y junctions, viewing approaching traffic from the left is almost impossible, whilst turning right without blading is also more difficult. On the subject of test rides, with the arrival of my KTM 890 Adventure R I currently have three bikes. It, the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance Sport and a Yamaha FZ1-S Custom which I plan to sell. I'm not far from you in Perth, if you fancy a day trying all three get in touch. As well as this channel I've set up a new one Grey Wolf all three bikes can be seen between the two.
@@MotoEcosse That'll be great 👍 I'll be posting my first ride on the KTM 890 Adventure R with my wife as pillion on my new channel Grey Wolf soon. We chat and she gives her opinion on the bike, her likes and dislikes. Of coarse she was always going to compare it to the ZZR 1400, which understandably makes any comparison unfair, whatever the competition.

So wish I lived in Scotland, your roads are so much more open

Same here Gary and you make a great point about how we should treat ourselves as beginners after taking such a long break.

All the best for Monday, Jamie. 🤜🤛
Just about to book my CBT so trying to prepare and learn as much as I can. This was very useful!
Good luck my friend. Let us know how it went
passed my CBT this week so tip videos like this will help me out.

Glad I found this, this is something I need to work on
Simple but effected.

Thanks for the offer, Michael. I may get in touch next time I'm over that way. 🤜🤛

I bought my 2nd scooter from a guy in Falkirk, pretty sure in this video I seen his street. Is this Falkirk?
Hi, can you do the blading on a test 🙂
Mate, I only realised at minute 6:45 that we have the same jacket and gloves.
blading also means you are facing oncoming traffic and if someone fucked up turn left here you cant get away. wont that be a concern as well?
The difference isn't huge so you're not facing on coming traffic. You're still on your side of the road.
Do you counterstear at all or just turn?
Countersteering is something that every rider has to do. Once you get above slow maneuver speeds,. countersteering will naturally take over. 🤜🤛
Your videos are great and really informative cheers 👍👍👍
