Okay Wyatt Earp's shorter cousin get rid of the mustache and grow a beard so you can look like Thor god of thunder and lightning
I gata say spite with the sketchers on.... a true suzuki boi too bad it's not flip flops.
‼️THANK YOU for this 😁
That's NOT how you teach a noob how verify your in neutral!
With the engine OFF, you attempt to rock the bike back and forth verifying that it rolls freely.
The way you taught him is how you get whiskey throttle.
Granted once experienced is gained you learn to use 1st as a ""parking brake" and you can grab neutral after you have started it.

Yam rocking the ‘stache looks like a very proud dad walking along saying “let’s go Derrick”.
if I didnt know yam, an he walked up towards me with that 'stache, I'd backup, turn, and run away.
Derek is his son. He has a baby pic of him in his wallet. He showed it in a video a long time ago
straight up Randy Marsh vibes. I wanna know when he's fighting Batdad
I wonder if he's going for the "super trooper" authority stash or is he shooting for the full-blown 70s porn stash?
Reminds me of reno 911. Just needs some short shorts.
“I’ve worn this gear every day, waiting for this moment” 🤣
Love it!
I laughed way too hard at that comment🤣
Saw it coming but still laughed.
That level of enthusiasm willing to share fun of riding a bike with someone and... willing to teach! Please make it a series - I want to see how he progresses.
I have to second this
i have a feeling he'll be on screen much more. next step... dirt track!
@@yamahahaha I'd love to see a new rider/Derek doing his first track day! I am still gathering all willpower i have to do just that - go on my first track day. Would be good to have YN video on this subject.
@@umailtogala there's josh's first track day video from a while back, it was really interesting to see
I agree
I'm a driving instructor in germany, we have probably one of the strictest licensing and testing procedures worldwide, and such my daily bread and butter is talking people through their first steps on a motorcycle. You did a splendid job, especially for someone that *alledgedly* has no training and no experience in teaching others. Well done! :)
Jepp, just got my A-License here in germany and the first two hours were exactly what i saw in this video :) but on a much stronger bike (BMW F900r)
Motorradführerschein macht Spaß! Grüße aus Wiesbaden :)
haha i got my A licence 6 months ago and it was kind of strict, however the bullshit paper system in germany is absolutely absurd! in australia I got my licence in 3 days and costed 180 australian $ . I wish that germany changes this bullshit system and digitalize everything!
@@benyaeast4741 Send this suggestion via FAX and see how it goes. XD
@@WeItenspinner lmao
The turbo busa bit at the end had my dying 😆 LOL!!!
8:15 the way I explained this to my wife (on a car on manual gearbox) is: with the throttle, you decide how much power the engine generates. With the clutch, you decide how much of that power you want to transfer to the wheel. Then I showed her the "only noise" trick you did here to show my point.
Btw I really appreciate your work guys, you have fans all over the world... And you deserve them.
Greetings from Italy
P.s. Your review on the Svartpilen 401 really helped me to seal the decision for my first bike. Thank you, sincerely.
Dude...that...just blew my mind. Maybe its because I'm sleep deprived, but that just blew my mind.
im the same on the Svartpilen 401. I've considered the ninja 400, RE scram 411, Triumph 400x, etc. but Yammie helped me bite the bullet on the Svartpilen 401.
I took an MSF Course a year ago, and I had 50 year old men who ride Harley's yelling and screaming at everyone. They expected you to have 5-10 years of Dirt Bike experience prior. They didn't teach you how to ride but rather expected you to hop on, know the basics, take off and complete the course. It was very challenging and discouraging as a beginner.
I took my msf at a harley dealership and they babied everyone the whole way lol
@@minarchisttrucker2775 😂😂
That’s not an msf at that point. That’s just like a beginner “track”. Wouldve reported tf out of them
@@minarchisttrucker2775a lot of riders including, probably especially, Harley riders want everybody safe. Harley riders are often softies on the inside.
@@devinedgin673 Yea, instead of teaching you and fixing your mistakes they’d just yell “what are you doing !?”
Lol. Yam says, "we're gonna move onto drill number two", and it goes to commercial. The commercial? Someone cracking open a beer. That is not a drill I remember from my MSF course....
I think we need more content like this, it's one thing to hear you guys talk about how to ride, but to see you walk a beginner rider through the steps provides a great sense of confidence! Great job as usual.
I've been a driving instructor in the UK and I think you both are doing a great job teaching Derek. 95% of people learn to drive a manual car over here so it makes the transition to hand clutching alot simpler if you can already drive a car. It will be good to see his pergression all the way up to the busa. :)
an how long u gotta ride a scooter there till u can get a liter bike?. I can see starting out on small bikes, but dont want it mandated or for that long, its overregulation.
@@ribalderr6052 Yeah if you're under 24yrs it's a bit restricted. After that 1 test and you can have anything. I suppose thats why America is the "Land of the free"
If you're over 24 you can go from never having ridden a bike to a liter bike in like 5 days in the UK, that's 3 tests. The younger guys really have to suffer though, it could be better.
@@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y there were many people at the course I took had been riding for years without class.
u can buy a motorcycle AND get it registered just fine, they dont care if uve had the class or not. its on u. for now.
@@ribalderr6052 calling a policy which keeps riders alive and riding for years to come doesnt seem like overregulation to me. When you look at the stats uk and europe as a whole have way less motorcycle accidents and deaths despite more motorcycles.
Life comes before liberty, cant enjoy shit if youre dead
This video is amazing for someone who is going into an MSF class next month, and is honestly a little scared since a bad experience when I was a kid. (Uncle offered a ride on a Harley, hit 80 in a few seconds. Scared the shit out of my 8 year old self.) "The bike will only do what you tell it to do" is definitely a bit of gold I'll take to the class with me. Papa Yam, thank you for your enthusiasm for getting people on two wheels! You've definitely helped me to warm up to bikes, and I'm gonna post my first ride video to show everyone where an AMAZING place to start is!
(Yes, I fully realize I'm borderline cringe, but I do not care.)
Not cringe at all bro. Thanks for sharing!
I like how yammie is normalising the Turbo Hayabusa as a perfect beginner bike.😂
Derrick did an amazing job at self-evaluating and understanding his mistakes. You did an excellent job teaching, and Derrick is an awesome student as well! Great video!
Man this takes me back to teaching my wife how to shift. That was brutal lol. Now she's ridden all over North America. Very proud of her :)
Just went through my course last week with absolutely zero exp on a motorcycle and this is nearly identical to how it went 😂 good job
I wonder how many of those skid marks in the parking lot are from Yammie
Just found your channel a day or 2 ago. Love the content and seeing someone go from never to this is awesome...is awesome.
More, more, more of this please
Love to see someone finding their love of bikes
This is awesome and I love it when people have good teachers at new things, makes the feels.
Good for him sharing his learning experience so others can learn. 👍
This is so awesome seeing another rider on the road. A wave of pride washed over me watching this
Way to go! I remember that feeling of doing this for the first time. Incredible! 😀
Big ups dude for putting yourself out there and learning on video. Welcome to the world of motorcycling! You won't regret it. Big ups Yammie and Spite. This is so different for you guys. Usually the assumption is that the videos are directed to riders who know how to operate the machine: this is so awesome seeing you go back to the absolute basics, and being humble about it. Riding adds so much to my life. It's my actual job 5 days a week, and I still commute by motorcycle to and from it. Great work guys. Really enjoyed that.
This was super wholesome. I'd love to see this be a series so we can watch Derek's progression.
I loved watching him learn to ride so much! It really brought me back to the memories of my MSF course! Such an amazing experience! Honestly one of the best feelings of my life is on a motorcycle. Nothing can compare to the freedom and pleasure of the wind and open roads.
Hahah the ending. I wanna see that sequal though! Also would be fun to see him grow into riding and getting the license. Also Yam and Spite you actually taught him pretty good. Still taking lessons myself, I am on the road already though and did all the slow speed stuff but it's still fresh in my mind. And they do pretty much the same here if you are like new to riding nor have nearly no driving experience. Well done Derrick as well. You picked up pretty darn good. Few lessons in and you'll be way more comfortable with throttle and clutch control. It's like you need to learn it to you muscle memory. And once you do, your breezing.
Hey Derek, thanks for helping the yammie crew make videos. I hope all the behind the scenes people get a video.
huge props on being super supportive to that guy and well done to him. its exciting seeing someone get that first buzz. automatic cars are more popular in the states than over here in the uk so i can appreciate how it must feel a little wierd doing clutch control. great job!
I got on my first motorcycle an just went. Watching this made me realize I learned all the control skills on an atv. Getting on a motorcycle was an easy transition. High speed turning and controlling a dirt bike through silt was my learning curve, lol. First time I took my 71 yamaha 2 stroke enduro off a jump I thought I was so high, my friend's video of it showed I was off the ground about 6 inches and traveled 30 feet. but I felt like a supercross rider!
Hope to see more of his motorcycle journey, maybe have him test some beginner bikes after taking MSF course.
love this! great break down of entry level skills, and great to hear the perspective from the new rider. as always thanks for the delicious yammie content!
Thanks for the videos!! Really helping me learn basics visually. Rode mimi bikes before and have drove stick shift trucks so I'm excited to get my bike soon and going do what yall did in this video to start off with. Making me feel more comfortable in my ability to do it. Before videos I was sketchy if I could do it safely 🙏 thanks so much
Brings back memories of first riding a motorcycle and being taught the basics. Nicely done
Spite feels and looks like what I imagine an MSF instructor to be like. Am European though, can't check for myself
I did t know how to ride two weeeks ago no license btw and I just drove it around the neighborhood and looked at some of your videos now I can’t stay away from it. Just so fun man I can’t believe I waited so long to ride. I watch these videos almost every day thanks for the motorcycle Videos they have helped a lot
You guys are awesome! Fantastic pupil and fantastic teachers. Brilliant.
Drill 6: Dank nooners????
you guys are great teachers, love it.
Mr Sir Yammie Scoob, you are an amazing teacher, not many motorcycle instructors are able to put their victims at ease the way you do. loving the content
It’s so awesome getting another biker bro and biker gal on the road. The more the merrier!👏 Great job gents👍
As a fairly recent MSF course grad and having not ridden a motorcycle in over 20 years (rode dirtbikes quite a bit as a teen).... I can relate to a lot of the things Derrick was experiencing. The weird feelings do go away with practice of the basic skills. I highly recommend finding a parking lot near you and practice the things that you learned in MSF using your motorcycle. The motorcycle I rode in the MSF course is VERY different than my motorcycle in terms of how the controls feel. I also recommend learning to mostly ignoring your dash except for maybe an occasional quick glance at the speedometer. Looking at the dash too much is a distraction you don't need. You will learn pretty quickly which gear you are in by counting them and by the speed and sound of the bike. Good vibes from this video.
That very first day on two wheels is very special, man. I remember when I first rode a 125cc and I thought "man this pulls hard!". I remember the fear, the connection I inmediately felt to the bike, the excitement... All those feelings came back watching this. You will only have a first time so it always will be special, and sharing it with others makes it even more special too. Great video Pappa Yams 💙
I learned a lot on clutch operation with motorcycles, thank you.
Good job all around. Welcome aboard Derek, ride safe and have fun.
AMAZING! i've been riding for 13 years and I still remember my first time on a bike, I would have loved to have you guys teaching me. in the UK our CBT course doesnt go into anywhere near as much detail as you are doing. We basically go from sitting on the bike to doing slaloms and figure 8's in 30 mins. Then we learn to shift gears. All my fine clutch control has come from riding on my own in slow moving traffic and car park manuvers. Great work in your teaching. Absolutly love how you teach all the little details.
I’m a UK rider too and I agree the cbt is not sufficient. Also combined with the fact you’re basically guaranteed a pass I think it’s super dangerous, I know 125’s don’t have much power but you don’t really do any work on roundabouts, junctions other road users etc.
His face literally mimics my own when I rode a bike for the first time 😂
Love the vids man keep ‘em going
Derek did a great job and you guys gave excellent guidance. Time for y’all to open an MSF chapter
I have my MSF course in 2 weeks and this has calmed my nerves immensely!
I learned to ride on a mini bike with a centrifugal clutch and a 5HP lawnmower engine. I had no business teaching my wife so I sent her to an MSF class. She really took to riding a motorcycle. The right first experience like what you guys did with Derek really makes a difference.
Its so beautiful watching a new rider learn how to ride
Thanks for this one! Your best beginner video yet! Helped me remember some stuff from riding dirt bikes as a teen. Late 60's-early 70's. I can remember enough from those days to agree with you on the point of small is better in the beginning. But, that said, I've wanted a Hogley Davidstone Sportster really bad since Then Came Bronson came on our old B&W TV in the late 60's. I just gotta get a blue Sportster! Odd that the little Benelli I started on looked more like a cafe bike with knobby tires than a dirt bike? It was fun though! Especially on the track we set up around a large farmers field behind my buddy's house. The backstretch was long enough to get up to like 45MPH. Wind in my face, cheap sunglasses...flying in the wind...oh yeah! I'm 66, married with older children. 2 of which have bikes recently. Hearing the sounds, seeing the moves brought back so much. Thanks for the memories!!!
Started learning how to ride as well and I literally see myself in Derrick. Especially the looking up part😂😂
First timer picking up my 05 shadow grandpa cruiser next Friday. Yammie its creators like you that help continue to push me in a confident and comfortable position. Wish me luck yall
You're an excellent instructor. I'm finally about to get back into riding after a layoff of 28 years (although I've been a regular cyclist since I was 4). This is a great video.
I like the power walking. What a great idea. I was forced to get my feet onto pegs ASAP.
Papa Yam, I know you have the channel, the store, but if you ever wanted to start a riding school, you could. Your patience and enthusiasm are easy to see. Excellent job of instruction.
I would love for this to be a series where we follow his journey and learning to ride over time! Great video guys 🙏🏼
Good idea.👌🏽
so good to see it from a perspective of another newbie! this video was so helpful thank you!
Awsome content as always!
Dang. I wish you guys could of taught me how to ride. So much patience and good advice.
Rides off on the Busa with the kickstand still down lmao! Great video, this is pretty much my first day at a driving school minus some cones. I did start on a Hornet 600 and nearly got into trouble a few times. Definitely better to start small and it's still going to be fun :)
I’ve taught a few people how to ride motorcycles and most of the were very successful, i had them riding around and able to change gears up and down within an hour. But there was this one girl who i tried to teach on my old grom and when it came to putting it all together she forgot everything i told her and wheelied the bloody thing up and curb and into a tree. She was alright but it just shows that not everyone has the discipline and focus it takes to ride. Anyway great video guys and nice job Derek hopefully we’ll see another rider out of you.
I bought my first bike, a 2016 ninja 300, with no knowledge of how to ride at all. Watched a few videos then gave it a go in my back yard 😆 after 20 or 30 minutes of that, I “graduated” to the straight road I live on, to go a mile and a half to a school parking lot where I practiced clutch control, starting and stopping, and shifting gears. Two days later, I did a little ride around some simple roads close to home. That was all it took for me to learn the basics. I can definitely say I’m glad I started on a smaller displacement bike, I could see myself getting hurt otherwise
I’ve seen other videos, but this one you show someone that is learning that really helps other people like my self because is my is how we would start riding a bike , I appreciate it , great lesson, I enjoy it. 🙏👋🏼
That’s wonderful! wholesome ! Now I feel better about the idea of starting this great journey! Wanted to learn but after seeing this it’s less scary 😅
How’s it going?
As a beginner rider myself seeing this just makes me smile. However the video that helped me the most about handling my bike was the video about skipping the MSF course in an hour. Where Spite was riding the Honda rebel 1100
We were all there once, great to see the first time someone feels it. Awesome
I wish I had you guys as msf instructors back when I took mine! Gotta say though, I’m really digging that Honda the more I see it
very useful, I have friends who are confident drivers in the scope of using cars to the most basic A to B effect, who also want me to teach them to ride motorcycles. I have always suggested they go to an instructor but they aren't too keen on that dollar per hour lesson fee before they know they want to do it. Add to that the fact that my first lesson I was almost straight onto dragging rear brake and happily O turning or 8 turning and then going at speed through some decent corners (I drive, it's in my blood) I struggle to understand how to show the real basics because they come totally naturally to me. Now I can go and practice this stuff again myself to be ready to give my friends a safe level of basic car park instruction to show them it's not that hard.
Started teaching my wife to ride yesterday. Good timing on this one!
This is great! Would have been helpful a week ago. I had (and dropped out, due to extreme heat) my BRC last week. I'm going to redo it in the fall when it's not 115 degrees outside. Thought I was going to have a heat stroke and kept messing up the worse the heat got.
I did not watched the video yet, but the answer is yes. I was a total beginner and had never been on a bike. I watched all the yammie noob videos and passed the MSF course and got my first bike last summer. I felt surprisingly prepared during the course. MUCH THANKS Yammie
Lol it’s fact that every beginner rider is plagued with 2 problems. The first and most common one is the death grip braking, 2nd is counter steer turns. Man, I remember my first ride. I flew forward in the mud and rain after a hard brake🤣 Definitely a wild experience when you learn how to ride on your own.
My first ride, got on the road... Crossed the road, went into a ditch. Picked up the deadlift and looked to see if anyone was looking.
@@dylanusie1023 LMAO! I feel ya! It’s embarrassing as hell just knowing someone somewhere just watched us eat it 💀 But hey, that’s just how the riding life is. I find it sad that so many quit just after just 1 fall though.
Watching this I’m realizing that my friends verbally explaining the controls, and then me just hopping on and riding, was a bit of a crazy way to learn… but damn it was fun to hop on a bike for the first time and just get after it. If I’m ever teaching someone I’m using these drills… great video.
This was remarkably useful and also really entertaining
Love this 👍
I would like to see more videos on his progression.
I taught my kids to drive a manual car and a motorcycle.
I started with the clutch. As you pointed out you control the power with the clutch.
If you get throttle-shock the 1st thing I taught them was to pull in the clutch.
He's lucky to have all that space to learn in. Schools here in the UK can be a bit small.
I wanna see more of this 👍🏽👍🏽
6:58. I can hear my instructor yelling "LOOK UP! LOOK UP!" 😄
18:00 look pappa Yum with his tiny mustache how proud he is !
My wife decided that she'd like to learn how to ride her own bike this year. We signed up for an MSF course together, so I could be there for moral support and I figure a refresher never hurts. The class was going way too fast for her, the instructor didn't even take the time to explain the clutch to her even though she let him know she's never driven a manual car before. First time the instructor had us shift into first, she wasn't told she needed to keep holding the clutch so she let it out and off she went... After a few other issues we decided it would be best to just get her a bike she can flatfoot (I'm 6'2", she's 5" so my Sprint ST and V-Strom don't exactly fit her) and work on it together until she feels ready to try the class again. We picked up a Rebel 500 for her and have been working through the lessons, we're just about ready to start having her learn to turn at speed rather than walking it around. Basically just doing exactly what you did here.
Damn! That was one crappy driving school! 😮
@@MaaZeus We think it's just the one instructor, he seemed like he didn't really want to teach, he was just there to get paid for watching people teach themselves, if that makes sense. He didn't notice or didn't care that she was the only one who didn't raise her hand when he asked who knew how to drive a manual car. When we go back we're definitely requesting a different instructor.
Go to another instructor. My coach was a d-bag but he knew what he was doing. We live in north west Ohio, and I've never heard a bad thing about our instructors around here. I'm teaching my girlfriend starting tomorrow. Hope she keeps going. Good luck brother!!!!
I just finished up my beginner riders course to get a permit, hyped to finally be able to ride legally!
I have been waiting for this.
Good teaching guys 👍
I remember it took my a little while during my msf to realize I needed to add throttle while I'm letting out the clutch, instead of waiting untill the clutch is out.
Hahahaha! This was really cool man... He did so good and takes directions really great... The end had me dyin’! Ok have fun on this crazy bike! 🤣 He seems like a smart rider and he is gonna be thinking about bikes in his dreams tonight... 😎🤘
Seeing a lot of comments from the UK, many saying that the slow guide into using the clutch wasn’t shown to them, I did my CBT 19.5 years ago but I remember the instructor teaching me almost exactly the same as YAM, a gentle intro to how a clutch works and step by step getting to moving, then feet up, then throttle, brings back memories
Yeah no they expect us to get the hang of it in like half an hour. Ended up failing my first cbt because the girl I was doing it with had experience and I had none so I couldn’t keep up. Instructor basically gave me 20 mins and was like no
I taught myself in a week, by the end of said week I was a pro shifter ! I had a RD200 Yammie.
The ending… chef’s kiss. Good work.
The outros are killing it
I actually feel like I was missing a session like this when I learned to ride. I did the UK CBT and they basically had us jump straight on the bike and try and get us to pull off in a straight line, get our feet up on the pegs and then come to a stop putting just the left foot down. It is the "proper" technique and I appreciate having it drilled into me, but I feel like half an hour of taking it one step at a time like in this video would have benefited me as things went on. If you haven't been around bikes much even just sitting on or with the engine running can be intimidating!
intimidating sitting still on a bike?. then ur gonna love the freeway bub.
@@ribalderr6052 I've been riding for years now, highways are the easiest, you just go in a straight line and hold the throttle open. By far the least intimidating roads to ride on.
@@Geshmaal yeah, i'm from croatia and the first driving lesson in traffic for me was going down the motorway because you only have to worry about the throttle, the vehicles in front and vehicles in the back. Planning to get my A2 license this summer, but i spent most of my childhood hooning around on a bicycle and have spent a decent chunk of time taking my family's 50 cc scooter through traffic. By far the scariest part of riding is the fear of someone accidentally cutting you off too close because of not noticing you while at an intersection, great fun going around roundabouts at full throttle on that scooter tho.
@@Geshmaal and one of the most harrowing and dangerous places to ride.
u must be forgetting the 1st time/s, or ur just a super stud danger ranger..
for noobs, deff NOT easy. yes going in a straight line is, but thats not what makes it scary at first of course.
its the other factors think about it.
@@ribalderr6052 i live on a mountain and i guarantee you it's scarier sitting still on most of our driveways than the beautifully graded and low-traffic highway :p
Fun to watch someone getting into the sport, for some reason I would have never expected the person behind the scenes of a motorcycle channel to really be a total newbie to riding though..... Great job on the first day out! Stay safe and keep the rubber side down :). You guys are much better teachers than I am though. Need to focus on your technique. Every time I try to teach someone they whiskey throttle it off into the trees .....😂
first of all, stop teaching people then, if thats what u call it an it keeps happening. send them to an accredited course if they've never ridden, u could be liable in this day n age.
throttle control is first lesson, see yammie spend some serious time over an over explaining that. does make for some good fail videos though I must admit.
even worse they whiskey it then hold on.. lol.
Understanding how to use a clutch will help when first learning, I've seen plenty of potential riders get frustrated and go quicker and quicker leading to stall after stall and frustration. If you get frustrated stalling, take a deep breath and slow your actions down a little.Your new rider tip for today.
My next step in my own learning is getting comfortable shifting. I still need to get proper gear, so I'm probably gonna see about getting gloves, a jacket, boots from you guys, but I'm also gonna get riding jeans with those armor inserts, just to feel a little more protected.
I remember I was 13 and my dad threw me on a crf150, bike wasn’t idling and had basically no front brakes I climbed on and he explained to me the gears and how I had to have the clutch in while shifting and while stopping. Fell over first time I started moving and popped the clutch the second time that really got my blood pumping that day and started something😅
Getting my first bike tomorrow love the content 🙌🏻
Enjoyed watching this and would love to see Derricks progression on the bike, I feel funny watching this though, learned to drive a car in a Manual amd drove said car for a few years before getting onto a bike, when I took the msf course I had another student ask me if I had prior experience with bikes since things like clutch and throttle control and shifting gears were already drilled into my head so once I got the hang of how to use both in unison like they're attached by a "string" as yamie said it was sort of a no Brainer getting corning, the only issue I had was u turns, thinking to hard on it, finished the course but never finalized the permit process in my state, or got a bike as life didn't allow it just yet, but that will change soon!
