I think your number one safety tip as a new rider is "head check", get in the habit of checking your blind-spot whenever you are going to pull out in traffic or change lane. Make it a habit so you do it automatically every time without thinking.
I've gotten in the habit of checking my mirrors so often that I've caught myself performing the motion while walking through a grocery store. And the issue of catching myself was the fact that there aren't any mirrors and therefore, I couldn't see anything behind me, lol!
So glad TH-cam recommended this video! Amazing to see a new rider and I love your enthusiasm! Keep it up and be safe! Helmet > Gloves > Boots > Jacket > Pants! I'll echo a previous commenter and say a full face helmet is the way to go and there are some great mesh jackets out there that offer protection and don't leave you broiling under the sun.
Definitely be safe sis. I love to see new riders. You gon be up there with "Doodle On A Motorcycle" in a few years. She started off small. Now she rides a 600lb Harley, and she's 5'2😂
Always have on full safety gear on! It’s better to have it just because dumb people on the road. We also have a saying here *“ride slow enough for your guardian angel to catch up and if you’re going to go fast make sure it’s fast enough that death can’t catch you”*
500th Sub woot woot! Great job, be safe! If you're concerned about hot weather riding, get yourself a KLIM Induction Pro jacket, super comfortable and engineered to breath. That's what I did :)
Congrats! Get some good gear, remember to never let go with your right hand(throttle hand) and loosen your grip alittle. It’s tense when your first riding, just remember to relax! You got this!!
This is not meant to be mean, this is just some things I noticed watching the video. Stay on the back roads longer, you're not ready for the more aggressive roads. When you're taking off from a start, you do not have your throttle open enough. I can hear your motor gargling. On more busy roads where things are more aggressive you are more likely to stall the bike, you could wind up dropping the bike if your handlebars are turned. I don't know if your intentionally weaving the bike or not, but you are constantly moving from Lane position 2 into Lane position 3 and back again. That could be troublesome at higher speeds if you're not doing it intentionally. You're coming up on stopped vehicles pretty quickly, and slowing at the last moment. At higher speeds that Could end badly if you're not used to it..... Do more parking lot drills and stay on the back roads for a while longer. Good luck and enjoy.
Killing it! Please get a good riding jacket and pants though! the first time you fall and scrape your skin off on concrete wont be a fun lesson to learn. And being a new rider its a matter of when not if you will fall. Doesn't have to be fast either!
You will figure it out. Just get some better gear until then. You can wipe off sweat. You can't wipe off road rash. And ride in the morning with another rider that can give you advice. I fell off my bike on my first ride. Hit my head and rung my bell pretty good. I low sided using the front brakes at low speed in a turn. That is a rookie move so learn from my mistakes. Use the rear brake when going slow. Show more videos. I will keep watching.
Got a pro tip for you, dress for the slide, not the ride. If you want to know why just google some videos of bikers sliding down the road in jeans and a t-shirt, that pavement will grind through jeans and to the bone in no time.
Go buy some gear. Trust me. You need it. Road rash is one of the worst things there is beside broken bones. It doesn't matter if it's hot. You will thank yourself. And get a full face helmet.
Get a full helmet. Imagine crashing and you fall face first, that thing you have is useless. Get gear, don't end up a meat crayon. Get proper gloves, those paperweights wont protect your hands. Probably have sneakers on too...
Full gear always no matter what the temperature is like the saying goes “ be prepared for the slide not the ride”
😂😂😂
Nice to see a new rider being safe and taking their time to do things right, good luck and be safe. Keep the videos coming.
Always great to see new riders! Congrats on your milestone. Keep knocking them down!

I love this, that new motorcycling vibe is soo sweet, soak it up. Be safe and enjoy!
get a full face helmet, you may be the safest driver in the world but you have idiots like me out there to deal with, have fun, be safe
full face is a must
Absolutely agree.
Some people just don’t like their chins or face.

We all started some where. Hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me.

full gear... full helmet, long sleeves with pads, long trousers and boots... fall even at 20 mph and you become a scratch card.
Congrats!! Those first time jitters are real, but you are doing great sis!! Can't wait to see more!
Definitely be safe sis. I love to see new riders. You gon be up there with "Doodle On A Motorcycle" in a few years. She started off small. Now she rides a 600lb Harley, and she's 5'2😂
Love your energy. Good vid
Good for you, main thing is you there doing it. Keep your head on a swivel and be safe. Just subscribed. Aloha

As a new rider myself, full gear every time. Groom’s are fun as hell. Keep it up and be safe.

All the gear, always! Stay safe out there
Dude nobody rides a grom with all the gear. Go outside and see something
500th Sub woot woot! Great job, be safe! If you're concerned about hot weather riding, get yourself a KLIM Induction Pro jacket, super comfortable and engineered to breath. That's what I did :)
Any mod videos on the grom

You're ready! You already know how to control the bike. If you have a car license and know your way around traffic, you can go to the main streets.
This is not meant to be mean, this is just some things I noticed watching the video.

Well done! You'll only get better. Keep practicing and wear your PROTECTIVE gear (no bare skin). Enjoy!
It amazes me how people in the comments are all just dying to give the same advice. Damn people, let the girl ride her grom and have fun.
Let’s ride I have a Grom
Full face helmet sis PLEASE!!!
Killing it! Please get a good riding jacket and pants though! the first time you fall and scrape your skin off on concrete wont be a fun lesson to learn. And being a new rider its a matter of when not if you will fall. Doesn't have to be fast either!
and a full face helmet
Gear, you _need_ it. But also important: get out of the habit of stopping in the middle of the lane behind cars, and grats!
You will figure it out. Just get some better gear until then. You can wipe off sweat. You can't wipe off road rash. And ride in the morning with another rider that can give you advice. I fell off my bike on my first ride. Hit my head and rung my bell pretty good. I low sided using the front brakes at low speed in a turn. That is a rookie move so learn from my mistakes.

Good advice guys, she’s so happy😂😂😂😂😂
You gotta switch gears faster
Lmaoo what type of goofy ass helmet is that, shit look like a snowboarding helmet lmaoooo😂😂😂
I be feeling like a bobblehead 😭 it was the most affordable one at the time 🤦🏽♀️ only temporary tho 🤣
Get a full helmet. Imagine crashing and you fall face first, that thing you have is useless. Get gear, don't end up a meat crayon. Get proper gloves, those paperweights wont protect your hands. Probably have sneakers on too...
Yeah, the face is the most common impact area. Open face helmets are dumb.
Get some gear.
Please get some good gear, dress for the slide not the ride.
Welcome to the community! However, do yourself and your brain a favor, get a full-faced helmet. Need to protect that pretty face!
Awe thank you! I mentioned in the description that I bought a full face helmet right after I posted this video! 🤣🤣🤣
