Sup yammie I live about 3 hours from Dallas lol. I'd love to ride with u someday. I'm a beginner rider so I'd love some tips from ya and see what u think about my riding so far.
dude was that a midget ridding a bike @4:12 in a pink helmet? nothing against them but just curious
@Yammie Noob umm I just watched a beer commercial and multiple ppl were drinking beer. Don’t believe me look up on yt Charlie Sheen beer commercial.
Im literally just scared of people who don’t know how to drive a car

Lol I'm more scared to drop my bike because it will cost me MONEY. Embarrassment is free, but fairings cost money.
a lot of money
A crashed supersport is the beginning of a new nakedbike😏
@@stevenfxgp Especially Ducati biscotti ones 🤔 😂
Not even mentioning Mv augusta or BMWs full carbon fairings.
@@amarured even myRC390's fairings are exxpensive (for me)
@@stevenfxgp Well KTM will always set you back a bunch of money. They're a ridiculous bunch of engineers and I can not understand their wicked ways.
But the RC390 is a sweet ride👌
Had a blast on it even though I was way to tall for it. You just can use every last bit of power on twisty roads and you can always give it full gas.
You think motorcycles are scary? Try driving a moped 20 mph below the speed limit during work traffic. That shit is scary
just get a 70cc cylinder
So a 50cc ain't worth it?
@@toxiknao8826 really fun, but you have to be aware of the dangers, and generally stay away from big roads with high speed limit
@@toxiknao8826 if you live in normal they can (legally) go max 50km/h, but i would just get a 70cc cylinder and put it in the bike. most newer bikes are supermoto which overqualifies them for 50cc
Y'all drive 20? I live in Austria and we all drive with 50ccm bikes that go 75km/h
8:00 I always thought that riders who wear full gear always looked cooler than those who wear little to none. You look like you know what you’re doing and you mean business. Even before I got a bike, I always thought that people who rode in a tshirt and shorts just looked like kids riding an oversized bicycle lol
If you get a cool looking gear then you will look cool but most people dont care about how you look in gear
You're gonna look like rossi that's why scammy lube knows you gotta look like rossi
That's part of the reason I wanted to get into motorcycles, because I like the Tron vibe proper gear has.
Dress for the slide, not for the ride...
because that's exactly what they are kids riding an oversized bike
my second biggest fear is that Ryan F9 will come in through my window and night and give me excellent advice on things I can't afford.
I hate when that happens.
One of my pet peeves.
Yes, ma' dude. Especially if you get those sweet OEM ones. Reminds me of a guy who crashed his 02 Fazer 6. After he went to the local dealsership to enquire about new fairings, he turned his bike into a street fighter. XD
Thats is a good one
But you've got to admit, the guy is funny as Hell.
I've been riding for three years and still haven't dropped my bike. The fear is getting exponentially worse.
Your day of reckoning grows ever closer each day lmao
42crazyguy yeah, same goes to me. And it also makes me slower each day
Get a cheap dual sport bike, MX boots, helmet, gloves, body armor and knee pads. Take the bike out on some tight trails in the dirt, sand or gravel. Ride hard on tight trails. You will still be going slow and are unlikely to get hurt when you drop the bike. You'll break some mirrors and turn signals off the bike unless you remove them first; otherwise the bike is unlikely to get seriously damaged except for cosmetic stuff. Anyone with a dual sport that isn't scuffed-up some rides like a sissy. You'll get used to dropping the bike pretty quick and realize it isn't a big deal.
So nearly dropped my r3 yesterday, hit the trottle too quick on some grass and slid out sideways nearly hit the house Haha. Just a bit paranoid at the moment
@@noyopacific lol you want my man's to hurt himself huh 😐😂😂 that sounds fun and dangerous
I think most people can agree that dudes with full protective gear like helmets, suits, knee and elbow pads etc. look like total *Badasses*
I prefer the homies in flip flops and shorts ridding squid missiles 🤷♂️

Helmets save lives. The rest of the gear, for the most part, just saves pain and misery.
And time from picking scabs
Are you sure? There's a time when a rider got accident that his head is still wearing a helmet but his head is seperated from his body. He's fucking dead. It can save lives but not all the time.
Peak Head Obviously. Maybe a seat belt once crushed a guys windpipe or something. But for each failure, there are hundreds if not thousands of lives saved.
And don’t he tempted to think you’ll be the one who survived without one. You wont. Or if you do, enjoy coma and brain damage.
Peak Head no shit idiot 😂
Depends though. Without some Armor, your state of living will dramatically change. For instance boots, while being innocuous, save your ankels from twisting thirty times over against the grain, allowing you to walk away instead of... Uh... Writhe in your wheelchair every proceeding morning.
It's only a drop. Unless its in front of a school bus full of laughing children.
Unless you mean a moving bus that comes right at you, I think you'll be fine.

Feels good to finally tell someone. Thanks Yammie.
I dropped my bike 2 weeks after I got it when leaving work, got a tight space to make a tiny right turn and I didn't use enough throttle so I had to lay it down thankfully it's only 210 kilos so it was easy to pick back up, it was slightly embarrassing though xD

God dayum Jon... what the shit? Were you 12 years old at the time or was the bike 350 kilos? lol
Dropped my bike, or might as well dropped myself with my bike on the 2nd day i got it. Its pure stupidty, because after i slightly get out balanced, and tilted the bike at a 45° angle. Upon standing it straight, i forgot to turn the gear to neutral, i squeezed the throttle and voila! i got dragged about a meter. my knee was badly wounded. but thats not it, i panicked and because of shame i try quickly tried to stand the bike, then i squeezed the throttle... a 2nd drop. Then people around and my uncle told me to stay still and helped me stand. Dude, i still hate myself whenever i remember that day. But its a lesson. a hard one.
"dont be scared of highways! more accidents happen on normal street roads!" me on my 50cc scooter: "great."
Dropped my bike 3 times in my first year boys😂

2- my foot slipped on gravel
3- I thought it'd be fun to ride my bike on a soccer field (I have sport tires) locked the wheel and busted my ass

My step dad admired my bike for so long it got awkward. He used to ride, even offering him the key he didn't want to ride it. "No, that's your bike. I'll get one when I retire" mad respect. He wouldn't even sit on it.
I find myself getting really annoyed when seeing people riding without protective gear. Road rash is the most painful injury you can get guys, be safe.
I’m thinking losing your legs or arms would probably be a little more serious than road rash but to each their own
Steve Downey Look it up Karen, severe road rash can cause infection, which can kill you. Also your skin gets ripped off, it’s like burning alive. But yea to each their own.
Carpet burn on your knee is already super painful, I can only imagine that on the scale of the entire side of your body with bits of dirt, gravel and asphalt embedded in it.
Why do you care if someone else is risking themselves pain?

My fear of dropping my bike, especially at speed, has to do with my fear of losing a leg
yea same and also low speeds because your trying to keep the bike from not falling but if you have a heavy bike youre losing a leg for sure

That's not at all how you lift a dirt bike
My dirtbike is like 250 pounds. You just fucking lift it 😀 you don't need special powers or technique
Yup, that's the way you lift a heavy bike. Almost anyone can lift a fallen Gold Wing or Electra Glide with relative ease using this technique. It gives a good, firm stand and makes the best use of your leg muscles. Plus, you may still have a healthy spine after the age of 30.

"When you are in your early 20s and you are on a bike that can go 160 (MPH)"
Maybe that is why insurance is ridiculously high in Canada until you are 25
In Washington, U.S.A it's more like 28 years old for males. Females get cheaper insurance around 21. It's really only super expensive for four-cylinder bikes though; most relatively powerful twins and even some triples have surprisingly affordable insurance even at age 23 for me.
Yeah. Single young males are the highest risk drivers, or riders in this case. All that testosterone gets too us I guess lol. I remember when just liability used to cost me $90 for an old beater. Tis life though.

It takes thousands of miles on a bike to fine-tune your ability to know when your grip is weak,sand or oil are dangers,when you're too close to someone's bumper or going too fast while splitting. I went down about 8 times,pushing my limits to fully understand what my boundaries are. I accelerated through turns to know what my grip is like under different weather conditions.
Now I know the critical importance of not coming into a turn "too hot",not tailgating,not taking off the instant a light goes green,feeling the difference between dry and wet pavement and having better throttle control.
you must have been a slow learner Satsui
Damn those things are easy to learn, You must be having difficulties.

I am an older rider, had plenty my share of dropped motorcycles. The worst was on the Dallas North Tollway, at a tollbooth years ago. I was on a BMW RT and stupidly stopped on the middle hump, it just started raining and I went down. It took what felt like half an hour and at least six people trying to help, to get righted. It was so dang slick. It was early October and it had not really rained for months. We looked like six laurel and hardy's or three x2 stooges. Finally the toll booth person came out with some cat litter and all was good. Did I mention that it was Friday at 5pm going north bound and traffic had really stacked up behind us? There was a bunch of a'holes honking and what looked like three cars that had crashed into each other trying to get out of my lane. Oooppps. I hadn't noticed during the whole event, but my left little finger was out of joint at the hand. One of the people who stopped was an ER nurse. She saw it while I was thanking all who stopped. She said, oh honey, let me see that. You should maybe... Bam, she jerked that finger right back into place without me knowing it was coming! After a brief moment of profanity, I thanked her and we all went our separate ways. If that were today, someone or one(s) would have had a bunch of youtube views for sure.
For fear#3, I understand being the slowest one the group. I warned two guys that I rode with once that I could be the slowest one in the group. They were perfectly fine with that. When it came to the highway run, they were surprised cause I would be keeping up on their tail the entire on just my zx6r, while they were on a FJ1300 and a GXSR1000. The corners though were where I was slow, and the guy on the FJ purposely stayed behind me the whole time to help me up in case I dropped my bike. I did go off the road when a turn became too tight all of a sudden, but brought it back as I rode through someones yard for a moment. They gave me props instead of scolding me for being so controlled and not crashing when they both thought I did. Sometimes being the one who has the least experience has the best rewards in the end of the day.
Lol you're proud of yourself for keeping on their tails on a highway?!

Bike in rain isnt a free car wash. When the rain drops dry there are many small dots on the bike which dont look good...
"Water spots" are what they're called. Give it a good wipe down after the rain and you saved yourself some water

Just lost my step dad on July 31 after being in the icu for 2 weeks after a motorcycle accident that happened with him and his best friend. Estimated speed was 30 with no road variables, no one knows what happened but he hit his head and thats what got him. Ride safe everyone.

I worked at a Kawasaki dealership for around 20 years. I always told the customers, that there are 2 kinds of riders. Those who have been down, and those who will be.
Had my 1st fall this week and this video has brought my anxiety down a bit about riding...thank you
We the off-roaders (mx, enduro, all that) drop our bikes pretty much all the time. A little bit of mud and some cracked plastics don’t scare anybody
True
It’s a badge of honor
Those bikes are built to be dropped, tho. And softer soil does not damage as much as hard asphalt. Also, most of the time, street riders are going at higher speeds than offroaders.
I am not saying that off roaders are worse riders, more like the opposite. I am just listing up facts.
Those shin scrapes :(
Unrelated, I crashed my quad into a tree once and the plastic just bounced back
i'm getting my driving license soon and you mentally prepared me for sitting on a motorcycle.Thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤️
Feel the grip under you. Don't accelerate through turns aggressively. Slow down at intersections. Always wear gear. Always look both ways when your light turns green. Don't road rage. Don't tailgate. Let people be stupid drivers. Get away from people doing too much on the road,swerving in and out of lanes constantly. Always be ready for a driver to do something stupid.
Learn agility on your bike. Practice quick swerves on your bike,the skill will come in handy later when someone that doesn't see you almost side swipes you. Most importantly, enjoy the ride 🤙
What’s a license
same and the second i do, im gonna have my neighbor get me used to riding on highways.(thats only because a highway is what connects the main parts of my city/town

No you're totally right. Like a badass leather jacket, or other protective jacket look amazing. Riding pants are pretty good looking too. And to top it all off, a damn good looking helmet! Personally, I enjoy the sleek and minimalistic look, but it all just looks great

As long as you aren't overweight a nice biker jacket will make you look fit. Broader shoulders, expanded chest, solid back, and thicker forearms.
My biggest fear of using a bike around London, is not dropping it, but returning to find it's been stolen.
When learning to ride my first bike (Virago 1000) I went into a corner too wide and dropped her. Minimal damage to the bike, maximum damage to my ego when two Harley riders stopped to help. :-)
"All traffic in the highway goes in one direction."
*Sweats in Filipino Highways*
Riding on the highway is definitely one for me. I'd love to do but having only had my licence a few weeks doing the national speed limit still feels like I'm breaking the sound barrier and I'm still not quite used to it. And as a result of being somewhat intimidated by it I have been avoiding it. Preferring the unwarranted "safety" of riding around town... in the traffic haha
Earplugs
the only main reason I have the fear of riding on the highway i live off of is because of all the fatal wrecks its had or serious accidents its had giving it the name I'llKillYa highway. i know my skill and i know me personally would be driving safe but the idiots around me not so much. Only positive part about it is the fact itll make me a defensive driver real quick
Your city roads are our like our national highways in India.
hahaha!
but still tho,its fun!
True
Indian doesn't deserve good roads
99% of your bikes are also under 250cc so your country really does not rate a mention. You guys would not know what real power is. A bit like your cricket team.

Bro I just started riding and by far your videos are most helpful and encouraging. Appreciate you bro
The highway fear is because of the speed. If you drop your bike doing 25 in a residential you'll get some scrapes. If you drop on the highway at 75 you may not get up. MSF teacher said don't get up to speed until you're comfortable; nothing worse that someone without riding confidence going too fast for their own good.
That MSF teacher needs to be fired - at least if that's an advice they give to people who are about to take their test. If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place. Being scared of high speeds is just an accident waiting to happen, as fear itself is one of the main contributors to unforced errors - not just on bikes but in general.
I disagree; telling a new rider to put themselves into sensory overload can cause major errors and deathgrips. I don't think it would be prudent to tell someone to deliberately do something dangerous that they aren't mentally prepared to do.
@@Real_MisterSir as usual, as Lunus says "it depends". In learning the big problem is that people learn differently. Some people soak up information like a sponge once put in a stressful situation, other people lock up and figuratively drown in the information that is given to them if they are slightly confused or stressed. You are correct that person should be capable of operating on the road in all legal conditions, but the way someone gets up to standard may vary.
@@Real_MisterSir says: "If you are not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more), then you should not be riding a bike in the first place." If he were honest that only leaves three possible options.
1) Either he never started riding (because as a new rider he was not comfortable at all road legal speeds (+ a bit more,)
2) He started riding but was ignorant or unconscious of the risks and rode anyway.
3) He understood the risks, appreciated his own lack of experience and skill but now he has forgotten that time and has turned into a complete hypocrite.
I am far more cautious riding in town and on country roads than on the freeway. Not to say that I'm not paying attention or overly comfortable on the freeway it's just like the pube said in the video; there are far fewer things out there to get you on the freeway than in town or the country. You don't have dogs or pedestrians darting out, cars turning left in front of you, cars pulling directly in front of you etc. While the speeds are definitely faster on the freeway, taking a car on 35-40 mph that turns in front of you is what I'm more worried about. I know that I'm not just going to fall over or otherwise go down at 80 on the freeway.
I love all the many videos you're throwing out right now
I'm about to get my first bike and your videos are super helpful! Love the funny twist you put on things, keep it up I already subscribed so cant wait to look forward to more videos!

4:00 "no surprise cars" As a European that is allowed to filter, I beg to differ.
I've started anticipating at least one car per day cutting me off, a quota that I haven't missed often so far.
What european country are you from? In the 3 european countries I have lived and driven in (Italy, Greece and Switzerland) filtering is NOT legal (unless several exceptions apply such as low relative speeds etc), contrary to common belief. Even if it is legal in your country, the fact that you experience the dangers of it every single day yet still continue filtering away, baffles me! Just dont do it, be safe and prioritize coming home alive and in one piece!

@@8eewee I mean, when you filter at the light where all the cars are at a full stop its fine. If you're filterning in moving trafic you're exposing yourself to a non negligible danger you know exists. Consider blind spots, grannies at the wheel, young drivers who think they're better than they really are... it is just not smart. Plus, you're not really gaining that much time. I may shave 5 min off my 35 min commute to work if I drive my Ninja like a suicidal madman.
Dropped my bike 4 times in 4 weeks. First time 2 hours after taking delivery. Cried openly :)
Love the video's thank you. Really helped a lot as a beginning rider. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I’m enjoying your videos, really awesome to see this how to ride, what to do, and what not to do. Well done sir!
Video starts at 1:40
I recently drove from northern Italy to the west of Ireland (actually there was a ferry in the mix too). About 1,200 km on the road. Got to my destination kicked down the side-stand .... and it sank into the soft ground and the fully loaded touring laid down on me.
I actually have to tell people that because if I keep it bottled up, it's worse ...
I dropped my bike in a parking lot that had a depression by a manhole. I braked going into it when the bike was turned slightly, and it tipped. I could not right it because the gasoline started to flow out, slicking the asphalt. But as usual, two young guys helped me right it. Thank god for bystanders ...
Totally empowering. This information was priceless!
I got a vstar cruiser bike 4 months ago as my first bike. Went up a driveway that had some sand at the bottom and completely slid on my side. Yes, my first concern was making sure no one saw me, so I hopped back on my bike and rode it to the side out of view. Got a little scrape on the handle bar and that was it. I had full gear on and walked away with a small bruise on my leg that healed 3 days later. If it wasn't for my riding pants half my leg would be a scab right now. So yes ALWAYS WEAR YOUR GEAR! Falling down isn't really that bad with it on.
Just got a 600s 1996 Bandit for my first bike and I was wicked intimidated at first. At 31 though it’s nice to just cruise around on and have power when you want it. Not really into racing anything anymore at my age trying to make it to 40 at least lol. All I can really say is just ride.
This was awesome. Got my license yesterday. Had just a few concerns ha. Thank you.
Thanks for the info man!
4:29 OK I live beside a huge highway and everyday at 2 am I just bike after bike after bike roaring
I love bikes!
scariest thing is stopping riding your motorcycle, selling your bike, then hearing the new owner broke his back months later and realizing that could of been YOU
Loved your way of speaking BTW bike riding gives more pleasure ❤️💯
Love ur humor and ur clear voice. Just subscribed!
Haven't even watched this video but I know it's gonna be good
3rd season riding, I did a lowside my first minute back in the saddle on brand new rubbers slick from the shop floor. do rapid straight line accelerations/decelerations before leaning the bike. i hurt myself so you didnt have to!
My bike broke down last weekend and dropped it trying to walk it on a crappy shoulder....more pissed it dropped than broke down.
At least a fellow biker pulled up and made sure i was ok and helped me pick it up as well as followed me to the shop 2mi down the road to make sure i got there
Great channel, awesome content!!
Beautiful use of Chopin my dawg. It really supplements the squid visuals.
Thats the joy of Dualsports my Scammy Droog, no fear of dropping them.
Haha tell that to the new dual sports that are being produced these days, costing between 7 and 10 grand.. I would be more afraid to drop one of those, than most street bikes :s
If someone gets a new dual sport and it isn't scuffed up pretty quick, everyone will know that they may have a fast bike but they ride like a sissy. :)
I've been riding for a year now. Very fortunate that i haven't had any mishaps. Definitely taken lots of your advice
Great informational video!🖤 I seen this vid suggested to me a couple times and second time (this time) I watched it! Even if im more excited than anything to ride!. ❤💯
Thank you for this, I’m trying to convince my Hispanic parents (mostly mom) to let me ride a motorcycle so I sent her this... pray for me😢
I'm 47. Getting my licence soon. NOT looking forward to telling my mum. Or my mother-in-law. Took this long to win the missus around.
@@christianohannan5603 she said that she won’t really care if I want to do it but she still isn’t fully convinced but it’s better than no (if you were asking me if you weren’t my bad😅)
@@trulynotavailable Just don't say another word about it as that might lead to arguments. Getting a license is proof enough that you can handle yourself
@@holo6883 lol they’ll give a child a license in America and they can ride a hayabusa the next day. License doesn’t mean much.
''Its not about the question IF you lay her flat, its about the when and how fast you are going while.''
Thanks for another vid Pappa yammie
Pappa Yam. What a funny guy! Keep up the great videos!
"Don't be afraid to go on the freeway."
[Gets onto the freeway on 250 starter bike, looks and sounds like the time Jeremy Clarkson got on the motorway in his "P45," in other words 20mph slower than everyone else and screaming the whole time.]
I got on the highway in Brazil riding a pcx 150 Cc hahaha it was scary when a truck was driving behind me
Nothing you’ll be happier to buy than a 2nd set of frame sliders.
You have given me SO MUCH confidence on my new 2022 700CC Yamaha Tenere than you will ever know
One day I’ll have a motorcycle. Been waiting 6 years but can’t swing it financially yet. Love your videos man
It’s already difficult enough to get a bike, but it’s even more so when your own mother was a 911 dispatcher and continues to tell you how many motorcycle accident calls shes gotten and explains why she won’t let you get one 😂
Just tell her you gotta live your own life bro she cant protect you from everything anymore . You gotta focus on what makes you happy
My mom worked in a burn center. Relatable.
Drop my bike like i drop my pants
Feyo Marseille Never?
Yeh :’(
Only when shitting?
Nobody wants to see your ‘custom exhaust’, dude.
Feyo Marseille i feel ya bro
I've dropped my beauty bike, like, 8-9 times, but that's just while I'm still beginning to learn. Nothing major, just the stops and turns and BAM! Lean too much or brake out of worry and I'm going down lol. No shame, just practice
Cool video! Thanks:D quality content
ride in the raining:
*sportive bikes*
I'm so scary of that
The only thing scary here is your grammar
I had a stroke reading this
Inside Freex not everyone has perfect English, so what?
Can you Inglesh?
I'm afraid of riding on the highway because of simply going over 60mph. I just recently started riding. Whether I realize it or not, my body fears whatever possibility my bike could lose control be it a beatle, bird, loose wheel nut etc and I go tumbling breaking numerous already weak bones in my body. But I love riding still.
juntjoo nunya same.
I love the way you do commentry🔥
Love the awesomely weirdness.
And a overall great video 👍🏼
Im 15 and im getting my first 50cc scooter but as soon as possible im going for that 125cc and/or more
Dropped my new bike in the first month, nothing major to myself or the bike. Actually kinda glad to get it over with and not sweat the whole shiny new bike thing anymore. Not planning on making it a habit of course but as he said it's probably going to happen to everyone one day. Stay safe.
That is my mentality. I dropped mine for the first time yesterday. I’ve owned the bike a week and it was only my 3rd time on a bike in 20 years . It sucked but I’m ok. In a way I’m kinda happy I got it out of the way. Before I was so scared of dropping it, I was really tense riding. Now that I’ve done it, I’m like ok that sucked but the fear of it is eased up. I dropped mine like the rider at 2:39 did. Came off a start, turned the handle bars to make a low speed sharp turn and down I went. To much turn of the wheel with a little gravel and too much lean and that was it. Thankfully i was going very slow when it happened.
I have had my new 2022 Yamaha MT-07 for one month and accidentally dumped it on my driveway while washing it. Couldn’t believe it. Broke a few minor things and scratched the paint. Tryna be a good sport about it but it does suck! Good to point out that mistakes catch us all by surprise and that in 10 years from now it won’t really matter after all, will it? Fortunately it seems to happen to a majority of us at least once or twice !
Great video!
