"Turning a danger into an inconvenience ." Words for the day ,,,Thanks Russ .. It is amazing how many drivers know only forward and on and not drop back and see who needs to fill the space .. SO many ways to avoid a problem ... Happy Spring from New England ..Yours Guy
Thanks guy. I like that phrase. Happy nice weather back to you. ☺
Even though I have my full licence I still come back and watch these videos. Doesn't matter how long you've been riding, you can always learn and improve
Agreed, I'm still learning too.
Hi. Just thought you'd like to know you were my first you tube subscription 10 plus years ago. I too had a Pan 1100 so I found your channel . I still think your content is second to none .Thanks for your time.
Hey Lee, that's superb news. Thanks for sticking with me and the compliment. ☺
Love your commentary videos and I've passed my test now. I copy your dialogue when talking to myself in my helmet.
Thanks for these.
Great demonstration of using available information to anticipate developing hazards. Masterclass mate. Good work.
Thankyou.
I've been riding for 45+ years... One day, I'll watch one of your videos (and I've been watching for a long time) and not learn something..... It's not today...😁 🤣
😂 Still, great news for us both then. Thanks ☺
Just passed my MOD2 but have to wait a month for my bike. Your vids are the best and watching them all in the meantime. Cheers!
Anticipation & planning at it's best Russ, pupils can gain so much from a good commentary ride, first class.
Thankyou Tony. I do like to take pride in my ride, even when off cam.
Stated watching your vids in 2013 when I was learning to ride and I've learned so much from you.Thank you!
What's reassuring is everything you recommend in this ride is stuff I do now 😅.
Excellent, thanks for staying with me. ☺
I must say your teaching style is so relaxed and friendly.
I had my 4 day DAS last week and to be honest it was not an enjoyable experience .
I unfortunately failed my Mod 1 due to a silly mistake , but my instructor had no empathy during instruction.
Thanks, Mark. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Many of our trainees loved their journey to their licences with us. Stick with it, it'll so be worth it, and all the best.
“Watch ‘em, don’t trust ‘em”. A world of solid advice in that sentence alone. Thanks for making and sharing this. Tons of info, as always.
Thanks Barry. ☺
These lessons are great to listen! Even though we here have the right hand traffic. Thanks!
I've always treated everyone like they are out to kill me 😂 stay safe all, but enjoy 👍
The "motorcycle Jedi " strikes again. Nice clear easy to follow instructions. No rushing from light to light or weaving in and out of traffic but still making good steady safe progress with well thought out forward observations.
Thankyou i do. 😉 😂
Excellent video. Super skills, well done.🤓
Did my DAS last week and failed my mod 1. I wish I lived closer. These are amazing and have done far more for my riding than the instructors near me.
Thank you for the demo ride , the commentary is really good to learn from and useful for practice rides on my 125. I’ll either be going for my DAS later this year or early next.
Good luck with your tests.
Love it, thank you. ATB
Another nice demo ride Russ, particularly liked your anticipation of the silver Merc at the lights
Thanks. ☺
Enjoy the commentated rides. Thank you for making them.
Thankyou and you're welcome.
Thank you!
Wow you're really good!
Thankyou. Nearly 40 years of practise. ☺
Always enjoy your uploads - just wish they were more frequent. I am not sure I agree with your implied criticism of car drivers showing bad preparation by not changing lanes immediately on seeing Lane Closed Ahead signs. Proper way to use lanes to maximise capacity is stay in lane until reaching the lane end then zippering in turn into the open lane. If everyone changes to lane 2 on siting a Lane Closed Ahead sign then it causes congestion.
Just me being picky
Fair point, maybe not immediately but I suppose my biggest gripe are people that either don't see the sign until the last minute through lack of planning or ones that accelerate up to the sign like that silver car did so they then push in, only to make 5 cars earlier when others are politely fitting in. Thanks for your comment. ☺
Only minor mark I got on my bike test was setting a point of no return, came up to a junction that had been recently resurfaced so had loose gravel, lights changed but I deemed it a slip risk to brake there and went through safely on amber, examiner gave me a minor, debated with him after the test and he agreed I did the right thing but letter of the law was a minor for travelling through an amber light
The original...and still the best
Awwww, thanks. ☺
Russ, I'm finding one of the biggest dangers riding in Notts is the poor state of the roads. New holes appear, existing don't get filled. I ride allover the country and our roads are amongst the worst.
nice video Russ
your still going on strong 😂
Thanks to my subscribers too.
@@RoadcraftNottingham no problem but unknown to you i subscribed back in 2012 but never made comments 🤭
I use to watch but that was it as i never had a motorbike i just found them interesting.. its not until i was going for my mod 1 last year and watched a Leanna video that things started to make sense.
I watched a lot of American videos only found two that were really useful and since i realised you was the same person I use to watch i am now paying great attention 🤣but Leanna has no worries she's still my number 1 🤣
I have one question as it might of been something you didn't mention to see who was watching this closely 🤭
at 10.49 on the point of no return it was ok for you to go but am i right in assuming that your student should of stopped as no return for you but not them. just want i saw in your mirror 😊but video might be a bit deceiving..
not a criticism just observation as a new rider and seeing if i got it right 🤭
safe ride and stay safe
kev
Leanna is an excellent instructor so don't blame you for watching..
Yes, maybe he should have stopped but probably thought a very yellow light was acceptable 😂.
@@RoadcraftNottingham yes you both seem great at your job and seem to enjoy it 🤣
yes maybe they did 🤣 but I am more happy with myself that I noticed it 🤭 have a good day
Gone are the days of mirror-signal-pop a wheelie ;-)
😅
I admit I don’t use the indicators all the time if there is nobody around. I don’t always remember to cancel.
I am a bit surprised how often you don’t. Use them when there is traffic around. Particularly somebody following you. Can they hear what you are saying.
Can you give me some time codes and I'll take a look
Excuse me if I am being stupid, I love your videos and they are a huge help to me, I have a little question, at 1:33, you did not do a shoulder/mirror check while merging, looking at the video it is clear no one is there to warrant it but my last instructor (who was very good) said to check check and check again, you even went so far as to check under the van for legs, why did you not do a left hand side check when merging to the left, I can see why not but if I had taken the test and not done this I feel I would have been called out for it.
The speed on approach and effective mirrors made a left check there unnecessary. Even on your test in that situation it would have been perfectly fine.
Nice ride and commentary. I noticed that, a couple of times, you set off from lights on red-and-amber rather than waiting for the green; I’ve been caught out by red light runners coming from another direction which makes that unsafe imo so I always wait for full green before setting off AND check for red light runners. Thoughts?
Yes, I do that, good spot. The main reason I do is to get away from cars behind me but I do also check for jumpers from the other direction. Thanks for watching. ☺
Was that a Flintstone van Russ?😊
At 2:45 what would be the response here if they did suddenly move over? I worry that moving into position 3 with the oncoming traffic lane so close (and 40mph) could result in a panic movement over to the right - where the oncoming traffic is already dangerously close. Would it not benefit keeping in position 2 and keeping the driver in view in their mirror? I feel like you're spending too long in their blind spot in position 3
I'm probably over-thinking it and I'm sure you'll tell me the correct reasons and responses :)
Fair question. With anticipation comes time to react so no panic movements. If I suspect them coming over I can either sound my horn, brake or accelerate but very rarely the latter unless the first two are no longer options. I tell my people "react, don't react"
Hope this answers your question.
Is there a system as to when to use shoulder checks?
Basically to either check your blindspots, the bits the mirrors don't cover or before you commit to change direction.
@@RoadcraftNottingham You should do a video maybe...??
I would like to be able to provide on-street instruction in the USA, but liability issues make this virtually impossible; therefore, student instruction is limited to car parks.
@@georgeh2095 That's so ridiculous and sad at the same time. This sueing culture has gone way too far.
god i need to work on my back brake on stops skill...
And I'm always practising, we're never done. ☺
Hi can I ask why you appear to be overlapping braking and gear change. I thought they had to be done separately. If I have it wrong I apologise.
That's ok, there'll certainly be an element of overlap from time to time, it's totally acceptable in my examples. Thanks for your comment.
When your in lane 2 and position 3, you actually make yourself harder to see from the nearside cars, your longer in there blind spot, i see why you do it, but i prefer position 2 so they can better see me
That's assuming they're going to use their mirrors in the first place. I'd rather not take the chance but do get where you're coming from. Either is acceptable. ☺
Your? If you meant “you are“ then “you’re“ is what you should have used.
