So how did you do on the Pop Quiz? If you got all 15 you are eligible to buy an MCrider t-shirt. www.MCrider.com/shirt If you got 11-14 you are eligible to buy an MCrider t-shirt. www.MCrider.com/shirt If you got 10 or less you are eligible to buy an MCrider t-shirt. www.MCrider.com/shirt and the Field Guide www.MCrider.com/FGBook 😜 Thanks for watching this week, this one was fun to put together!

"Chicken strips are always found on the tires of "Old Rider" bikes, and likewise missing or worn chicken strips are never associated with "Old Riders." Now, the opposite is true with "Bold Riders" but as we all know, "There are Old Riders and there are Bold Riders, but there are no Old, Bold Riders."
13 out of 15. Not bad for a 74 year old guy who started riding at age 70. Thanks Kevin for your work. Because of what you do and how you do it, I am having the time of my life. Your instructional videos have made all the difference. God Bless....
A couple of the questions lean more towards motorcycle history for most newer street riders. Modern street only motorcycles are fuel injected. So, something that many of new riders may never experience is a choke. (With the exception of an old motorcycle in their MSF or similar class.) The term Clip Ons is sometimes used to describe low factory handlebars that are part of or attach to the upper triple clap. These still exist and are common. But true Clip Ons that attach to the fork tube between the upper and lower triple claps have basically disappeared since most manufactures started building factory sportbikes in the mid 1980's. For the new rides that got these right, good job. Many of the high sides that I have seen have been the result of losing rear wheel traction while engine braking then regaining rear wheel traction. Just wanted to point out that it isn't just the rear brake that we need to manage to prevent high sides. Of course, slipper clutches can help some. (Note for skiers and snowboarders: A high side is like catching an edge. A low side is like losing an edge.) Note, in my area of the USA many motorcycle instructors warm up the motorcycles before the students get on them. That way class time isn't wasted warming up the motorcycle. Also, the students that are not interest in working on their own motorcycle are likely to purchase a motorcycle that is fuel injected. Therefore, having them warm up their own motorcycle to teach them the choke isn't something that they will need in their regular riding. Those who plan on getting an older motorcycle that they will be working on likely already know about using a choke from other life experiences.
14! I actually missed DUCK WALKING😅😅! I don't know how you kept from laughing out loud whilst reading these, but they're pretty hilarious;)). Thanks for the Friday morning laugh! Have a safe fun weekend! And thank you for all you do to keep us safe, and perhaps, a little bit "smarter".....at least regarding motorcycle riding!
15/15. The term squid originally came from riders who were fast in a straight line but nearly stop dead when going around a corner (just like how a squid swims). Very frustrating if you get stuck behind one.
I enjoyed the test! I did ok, but don't feel bad about it. I've been riding over 55 years (I'm 82, and rode 10K miles each of the last few years, and on track to do the same this year) and had never heard some of the terms (like squid, chicken strips, clip-ons) but could relate most to an answer. I haven't been watching your site consistently, so maybe that's where I missed them. Keep up the good videos - they are all relatable.
14 -You got me at question 1 (Trail braking). I honestly thought that was a dirt bike thing! I have a daily 55 mile commute, so I WILL practice...thanks!
15 but I’m a returning rider after 20 years so have a ton of stuff to catch up on and riding to do to knock the rust off. Did the advanced rider MSF course a few weeks ago, very eye opening, dang glad I went!
Missed your definition of "duck walk." About the only time I "duck walk" is when I'm using my feet and legs to move my bike into parking without dismounting. That's what 'I' call a "duck walk" anyway. Should have noticed that wrong answer 'C' didn't mention anything about feet. My across the street neighbor recently bought a Harley (to be "one of the guys" at his shop) and he "waddles" it when making slow speed maneuvers in front of his house. I guess he does look like a duck walking, come to think of it.
Duck walking is given a bad name there is a time and place for it. I ride a heavy bike and under 10 mph with wind and ruts it is a huge issue. Same for traffic lights when grandpa pokes off the light at 5mph. There is garages to squeeze the bike in the corner and gas pumps. Only a fool doesn't use his feet, and claiming it is poor technique is (censored) .
@@whatsup3270 You have a point. Not all "duck walking" under all circumstances is wrong or indicative of "being a squid." Perhaps the definition should be revised to say that it is the sign of a beginner if done too frequently when more practice with balanced riding would be more appropriate. Daily I ride and then park on a section of road that is paved with gravel and when maneuvering into parking or first taking off, I have my legs extended, but not touching the ground with the clutch only part way engaged. I have saved a drop a couple of times by pulling in the clutch and having my feet ready, but not actually "duck walking." Having said all that, I think it might be useful if there was a video on proper "duck walking" how and when to do it.
While answering another poster who had commented on my post, I had an idea for MCRider: "I think it might be useful if there was a video on proper "duck walking," how and when to do it." I say that because even experienced riders do it and if done right and under the right circumstances, it can and has saved many a drop. While I seldom "duck walk" under normal circumstances, I do have my feet and legs (and clutch) ready in case the bike slows too much and needs to be prevented from falling. I also "duck walk" daily while going in and backing out of my driveway and I have learned to keep my head up, use my peripheral vision to keep in balance and avoid concentrating on the ground directly below me.
Agree. Down shifting is generally part of engine braking. I think that he added the word "rapidly" to differentiate between the two most correct answer. Generally, it should be a rapid down shift.
Hi Kevin A bit late doing this. Good fun. 12/15. Q4 - Isn't A also correct? Engine braking is using the engines resistance (C) & downshifting to slow the bike - also uses the engine to slow ?? Thanks
14. The one that I believe could have multiple answers depending on your country of origin, was the clip-ons. I got 14 despite only riding for 9 months at the age of 53 (passed my test two months ago), but I've been immersed in motorsports and the world of bikers through friends for decades. Still pretty happy with 14.
10 is kind of unfair to younger folks who were not around when carburetors were common. Not sure I agree with the answer for 14. D would be correct if the rider is doing it while on the bike, like all those guys you see at Sturgis duck walking their bikes at intersections. A is imho not duck walking, as you are not waddling the bike around, but those folks who use their feet as skids to prevent the bike tipping over (a not very safe thing to do). Fun though.
First of all, thank you. Between riding tips from Dan Dan the Fireman, Doodle on a motorcycle, and yourself, I re-armed myself with riding knowledge, and skills to get back into riding after about 25 years off bikes. Through god's grace, and with your guidance, since getting back on a bike, I've stayed upright except for 1 drop at less than walking pace (new to me bike with mids (used to sport bikes) and no muscle memory yet, and bumped the rocker shifter into neutral on an uphill turn), I still smile like a fat kid in a cake shop with mum's credit card every time I ride though. Secondly, 15 for me. Had to think about the duck walk one for a second though, cause here in Australia it's also known as the Harley waddle. Keep up the good work that you do in helping both educate new, and re-educate us older riders.
In reality Clip Ons are rare in this time of factory sportbikes. They were more common in the time before factory built sportbikes. That time would be in the 1960's through the mid 1980's. During that time period people started with high performing standard style motorcycles and built them into sportbike. Clip Ons and rear sets (for relocating the peg back) were two of the common modifications.
14...I was distracted listening while you were discussing the clip-ons question and did not pay enough attention. If it was oncoming traffic, I might have just bought the farm! I did get bonus question, so hopefully that makes up for my inattentive laps in listening!
Kevin ... Thanks for the Quiz. I am a returning rider after 40 years out of the saddle. Relearning many skills and unlearning many past bad skills. Your channel has been a wonderful source of info and ideas. I got 13 / 15 (but I got the bonus correct!) #4 Engine Braking and #6 Chicken Strips got me.
Hey @MCrider @Kevin, I was looking at your paraphernalia, The pocket field guide looks interesting, but I don't really know what is in it. I was looking for a Leg Bag earlier this summer that could hold the long tall narrow Range Cards. My Brand new Range Card flipped out of a leg bag that was not deep enough I had to carry the range cards in it while partially unzipped. It flipped out on the range and even though a couple of the Students were Police Officers it got stolen. It was one of the few items I owned that I had not yet engraved or printed my name with a Sharpie on it. I was so desperate to get a leg bag in the dimensions that I wanted, that it made me recall may days in 4-H Leather craft when I was 10-12 years old and made some wallets and check book holders ect. I even looked into Holster makers.. I ended up purchasing a cloth waist band bag through Baretta for shot gun shells and trap shooting. I need to sew a pocket into it that will hold the range card notebook more tightly .
I went into this quiz with a different attitude than most. It wasnt about how much I knew, It was about how much I didnt know. I wanted to see what I needed to improve on. We may practice certain things but just dont get the terminology. I scored a solid 10!
15/15 clip ons also refer to the objects harley riders clip on to their bike such as spirit bells and 3' tassels for whipping nearby cars x). good quiz
14 here. I've only heard of chicken strips as worn tires down to the cords not the unused outer part of tires due to being too chicken to lean the bike over.
Dang got 13 right #4 tripped me up cause I downshift while slowing down for freeway off ramps using the lower gears to help slow down. And 9 throttle blipping. Confusion considering I had just watched your friend “Jerry “ on his channel. And since we had answered Rev matching! But can I still buy a t-shirt?
Thanks for your fun quiz, 14, got squid wrong thought it was a new cautious rider not a reckless one, some would be difficult for newer riders who never enjoyed fiddling with carburetors, pre fuel injection or putting clip ons and rear set foot pegs , instead of conventional handle bars to emulate their track idols.
Chicken strips got me never heard that one before.rev matching to shift gears up or down with out the clutch I do it all the time on my V Strom 650 but I have been driving a truck for 42 years only using the clutch to put it in gear to start off :WHO Needs A D C T transmission on a motorcycle not ME 😅love you man keep it up 👍
Had 14 out of 15 Number 14 I chose "C" which i still feel is the more correct answer "A" would more likely describe an unsure rider who would slide feet along ground until they reached a speed where they felt more comfortable with their balance (such as leaving an intersection)
Yea! I got them all right, but I'm certainly no genius. There is always more to learn. Kudos to you Kevin for the video and especially some of the wrong answers you came up with. Hilarious.
13 out of 15, I am super happy with that as I am a fairly new rider. There were a few I didn't know but was able to use common sense and logic to figure them out.
I got 14 but I think 4 was a trick question .A & C could both be right just don’t downshift to rapidly so you don’t over rev your engine.I do it all the time cause I like to hear those pipes rack off😂Great quiz
Interesting...Engine Braking does not have to include downshifting but I can see why that one sounded correct. I would still say C is the better answer but A is kind of a tricky answer....I will give you 1/2 point on that one if everyone else agrees. Reply to vote does @Rufford72 get 1/2 point or not?
14.. I think of preload as a little throttle while applying pressure to the rear brake when getting ready to go from a stop.. this was fun!! Also, I took the test civics test for new citizens and got 87%… it’s tough!!! ❤️🇺🇸🏍️🏍️
15 of 15 Got them all, “Chicken Strips” was a lucky guess though never heard of that one before 😂, but I’ll take it you think after 50 years of riding I would know that one thanks for the content MCrider always a pleasure.
luckily some of them you have in a car world, corner apex, engine breaking... rev matching and throttle blipping is "heal - toe", so i'm not a total dumbass
I scored 12, only had my license for a few months. But I have to admit, the "chicken strips" almost got me. I'm a senior citizen from the south and I love me some fried chicken, LOL.
i got 8 right. last time i rode was in 1987, i had joined the Fire Department and responded to a motorcycle accident. there was 2 tarps on the street and lots of blood. i asked my captain why, he showed me the lower half and asked if i wanted to see under the other tarp. i said NO! a 19yo kid was in two pieces because a woman fixing her infants bottle crossed the double yellow lines and hit him head on. i never road after that and sold my bike.
This was so much fun! I had one incorrect answer. Now I know what a Squid is. I had to guess on the Clip Ons. I have never heard that one before. 😂 Thank you Kevin! Have great day!
Missed clip ons and duck walk. I duck walk when I pull into my garage, which is a tight parking space. When ii answered the question I was picturing A as poor stopping and take off skill.

This was a fun one! You do good work! Thanks for all you do!
haha !!! perfect
I prefer "maturity margins" instead of "chicken strips".
Or...evidence of good body position.
Lets just call it wisdom
"Chicken strips are always found on the tires of "Old Rider" bikes, and likewise missing or worn chicken strips are never associated with "Old Riders." Now, the opposite is true with "Bold Riders" but as we all know, "There are Old Riders and there are Bold Riders, but there are no Old, Bold Riders."
I swapped out chicken strips for ostrich strips...

Love the test! Fun and entertaining!
Good stuff Kevin - I got them all. Love the videos and the message that you bring. Thank you for being committed to the safety of the community!
Pre loading tripped me up. I thought it meant the initial partial braking in a panic stop to shift weight to front tire.
A couple of the questions lean more towards motorcycle history for most newer street riders. Modern street only motorcycles are fuel injected. So, something that many of new riders may never experience is a choke. (With the exception of an old motorcycle in their MSF or similar class.)

Thanks, Kevin. Some of your incorrect responses had me laughing out loud. What a great way to start a Friday--with a good chuckle! 🤣

15/15. The term squid originally came from riders who were fast in a straight line but nearly stop dead when going around a corner (just like how a squid swims). Very frustrating if you get stuck behind one.
Some of the wrong answers sounded better than the correct ones!🤣🤣🤣
15, long time member of McRider. I guess it pays off eh?
14. The engine braking got me, picked the downshifting answer as that seemed appropriate. Non genius but never too old to learn something new.
Engine braking is pretty basic, since it also applies to cars with manual transmission and trucks use it a lot. Pretty basic knowledge.
15/15. Guess I watch way too many TH-cam motorcycle videos.
15 I'm 72 years old, been riding since I was 16 and I STILL practice my low speed and emergency skills every time I get on the bike.
I enjoyed the test! I did ok, but don't feel bad about it. I've been riding over 55 years (I'm 82, and rode 10K miles each of the last few years, and on track to do the same this year) and had never heard some of the terms (like squid, chicken strips, clip-ons) but could relate most to an answer.

Question 5 & 9 same thing different terms…. That was interesting! More great creative content on MCRIDER!
15. But, I’ve been watching MCRider since dinosaurs walked the earth, so I’ve got a PhD at this point.

I missed two, one was blipping and preload. I also thought it was applying some front brake coming into a corner.
Numder 4 is deliberately deceptive. Engine braking. I downshift when coming to a stop and engine brake.
Agree. Down shifting is generally part of engine braking. I think that he added the word "rapidly" to differentiate between the two most correct answer. Generally, it should be a rapid down shift.
I've been riding for less than 3 months. I got 12 correct! Not too bad for a beginner :)
Hi Kevin
A bit late doing this. Good fun. 12/15. Q4 - Isn't A also correct? Engine braking is using the engines resistance (C) & downshifting to slow the bike - also uses the engine to slow ?? Thanks

Congrats, you won the chance to buy a t-shirt! 😉

That got me too. Never heard that term.
Me too
Too
Count me in on that one too... made mine a 14.
Robert Simmons calls friction zone and engine rpm Preload.
Now show the video of your face while reading some of those! 😂
14. The one that I believe could have multiple answers depending on your country of origin, was the clip-ons.

Two wrong, clip one and pre load got me. Not sure how you read some of the answers without laughing
Hey @MCrider @Kevin, I was looking at your paraphernalia, The pocket field guide looks interesting, but I don't really know what is in it.
I was looking for a Leg Bag earlier this summer that could hold the long tall narrow Range Cards. My Brand new Range Card flipped out of a leg bag that was not deep enough I had to carry the range cards in it while partially unzipped. It flipped out on the range and even though a couple of the Students were Police Officers it got stolen. It was one of the few items I owned that I had not yet engraved or printed my name with a Sharpie on it.
I was so desperate to get a leg bag in the dimensions that I wanted, that it made me recall may days in 4-H Leather craft when I was 10-12 years old and made some wallets and check book holders ect. I even looked into Holster makers.. I ended up purchasing a cloth waist band bag through Baretta for shot gun shells and trap shooting. I need to sew a pocket into it that will hold the range card notebook more tightly .
I went into this quiz with a different attitude than most. It wasnt about how much I knew, It was about how much I didnt know. I wanted to see what I needed to improve on. We may practice certain things but just dont get the terminology. I scored a solid 10!

15. Likewise a mature 68 year old rider who started riding again after 40 years without a bike. I like the sound of “maturity margins!”
Dang got 13 right #4 tripped me up cause I downshift while slowing down for freeway off ramps using the lower gears to help slow down. And 9 throttle blipping. Confusion considering I had just watched your friend “Jerry “ on his channel. And since we had answered Rev matching!
But can I still buy a t-shirt?
Thanks for your fun quiz, 14, got squid wrong thought it was a new cautious rider not a reckless one, some would be difficult for newer riders who never enjoyed fiddling with carburetors, pre fuel injection or putting clip ons and rear set foot pegs , instead of conventional handle bars to emulate their track idols.
15 except squid I've heard is a rider who accelerates very quickly to high speed but can't turn very well. Like a squid actually swims.
15/15. Been riding since 1973.
Miles of smiles.
Just because you don't ride to the sidewall, doesn't mean they are "chicken strips". It just means you aren't a squid!!
Wow. A 14. That's a hell of a lot better than I thought I was going to do.
Chicken strips got me never heard that one before.rev matching to shift gears up or down with out the clutch I do it all the time on my V Strom 650 but I have been driving a truck for 42 years only using the clutch to put it in gear to start off :WHO Needs A D C T transmission on a motorcycle not ME 😅love you man keep it up 👍
Had 14 out of 15 Number 14 I chose "C" which i still feel is the more correct answer "A" would more likely describe an unsure rider who would slide feet along ground until they reached a speed where they felt more comfortable with their balance (such as leaving an intersection)
15/15 🤓🎉 that was a nice change of pace and some of the answers made me LOL
I guess at 68 I’ve learned a few things about riding. 15 of 15..Glad I read a lot on motorcycle riding
13/15 missed the throttle blip and rev matching. Thanks!
Yea! I got them all right, but I'm certainly no genius. There is always more to learn. Kudos to you Kevin for the video and especially some of the wrong answers you came up with. Hilarious.
You're a genius in my book!
13 out of 15, I am super happy with that as I am a fairly new rider. There were a few I didn't know but was able to use common sense and logic to figure them out.
11. I missed the two relatively inconsequential ones. That was fun though. Great video.
That was a fun video, thank you for posting it.
13/15. Duck walk got me too. Watching too many Moto videos. Should go and get a motorcycle
15! You almost got me on the tank slappper. I’ve always known it as a speed wobble.
I got 14 but I think 4 was a trick question .A & C could both be right just don’t downshift to rapidly so you don’t over rev your engine.I do it all the time cause I like to hear those pipes rack off😂Great quiz
Interesting...Engine Braking does not have to include downshifting but I can see why that one sounded correct. I would still say C is the better answer but A is kind of a tricky answer....I will give you 1/2 point on that one if everyone else agrees.
Reply to vote does @Rufford72 get 1/2 point or not?
@@MCriderGive it to him
@@MCrider yes he does
@@Chubobo2010 OK, we got a vote in so you officially get 14 1/2...the people or person has spoken....see every vote truly does count around here. 😆
14.. I think of preload as a little throttle while applying pressure to the rear brake when getting ready to go from a stop.. this was fun!!
Also, I took the test civics test for new citizens and got 87%… it’s tough!!! ❤️🇺🇸🏍️🏍️
15 of 15
Got them all, “Chicken Strips” was a lucky guess though never heard of that one before 😂, but I’ll take it you think after 50 years of riding I would know that one thanks for the content MCrider always a pleasure.
15. Always learning and trying to keep skills advanced even with lifetime of riding
14 of 15. Got confused on question #4. I’ve been riding 54 years. Thanks for the test, I enjoyed it! 😊 (I answered A on #4)
luckily some of them you have in a car world, corner apex, engine breaking... rev matching and throttle blipping is "heal - toe", so i'm not a total dumbass
I scored 12, only had my license for a few months. But I have to admit, the "chicken strips" almost got me. I'm a senior citizen from the south and I love me some fried chicken, LOL.
15, now all I have to do is get a motorcycle 😅
Got all 15!
Chicken Strips are are my badge of honor because I've been riding for many years without and accident.
The only one wrong" Duck walking." Ha. Always room for improvement.
I've been riding for almost 30 years and I found this actually pretty easy. I got 15/15
10 THANKS I HAVE YOUR FIELD GUIDE JUST STARTED RIDING STREET BEEN ON DIRT FOREVER :)
i got 8 right. last time i rode was in 1987, i had joined the Fire Department and responded to a motorcycle accident. there was 2 tarps on the street and lots of blood. i asked my captain why, he showed me the lower half and asked if i wanted to see under the other tarp. i said NO!
a 19yo kid was in two pieces because a woman fixing her infants bottle crossed the double yellow lines and hit him head on. i never road after that and sold my bike.
15. 71, been riding 55 years. Less than 14 and I'd have started looking for a scooter. Thanks, fun quiz.
15, although the high-side question with the low-side red herring almost got me.
Engine breaking. A common feature found in Chinese made motorcycles. 😂 I saw what you did there. Technically not incorrect.
14, "Clip-ons" got me.
14 - Kevin - have to say I've never heard the term "Chicken Nuggets" in all my 58 years of riding LOL 🙂
Riding 52yrs, wasnt sure about the chicken strips, good one man, scored 14
I have been riding for over 20 years and am a MSF instructor. I got 2 wrong.
Never been labeled a “genius” before!! 🤣. 👍
15
Congrats, you won the chance to buy a t-shirt! 😉

13/15 with squids and clip-ons getting me confused.
Had never heard of chicken strips in motorcycling before. Now I'm hungry for lunch.
Missed "Duck walking" I said its looking more like a duck than a motorcycle rider... I'm stickin to it!
14 out of 15, I didn't know clip ons were a thing
This was so much fun! I had one incorrect answer. Now I know what a Squid is. I had to guess on the Clip Ons. I have never heard that one before. 😂 Thank you Kevin! Have great day!
Fun test, yes 15 but I have experienced many Harley and sport bike riders “rev matching” at lights 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Missed clip ons and duck walk. I duck walk when I pull into my garage, which is a tight parking space. When ii answered the question I was picturing A as poor stopping and take off skill.
Perfect, and im absolutely NOT a motorcycle genius!
I missed the bonus question.
