NEW UPDATED VIDEO FOR 2024! How To Ride A Motorcycle! | Basics for Beginners! th-cam.com/video/wf1LBYBF_xQ/w-d-xo.html
Surprised you've not looked into becoming an instructor! You explain and show it very well in a teaching manor!
Yeah for real!! Really calm and explain things in detail.
Still waiting for the swan riding video.. Mine keeps biting me...
+Adam Shax haha
Good one
@@spicy110 hey man where is that place? at 11:55
Seriously, to anyone worried about their cbt, as long as your head is screwed on and you know your road rules ect, you won't have a problem, the instructors won't put you up to anything you can't do, if you're unsure about anything just ask, don't forget they are riders too, they want you to pass :)
Yeah, I'd never ever ridden a bike before, but did my CBT recently, on a manual bike in the rain, it was fairly easy, I made some mistakes but still managed to get my CBT. It's pretty hard to not get your certificate i think.
What if you don't know all the road rules, will they tell you?
I was doing it wrong all along! I thought it was set off in 5th, clutch out to change gear and shove a dildo in the exhaust to make the bike go faster... Silly me ;)
+LividXeon close! Close!
I'll follow your steps buuttt... The dildo stays!
Really? aw damn! Ive been starting it in 5th, riding it until it hits about 50mph and then shifting down to 1st and pouring petrol down the exhaust pipe for better fuel flow
Thank you! Finally at the age of 54 I'm going to be doing my CBT on Sunday. I feel so much better after listening to you and watching you. Thanks! Been waiting a lifetime to do this :)
Best of luck and yes never too late to get on two wheels! 👍
How did you do? And, are you ridng now, two years on?
@andreaoldfield did you pass and what are you riding if you don’t mind sharing mate?👍
Good explanation :) alot of new riders would probably appreciate a video like this :)
I absolutely agree with always wearing gear. I was 15 and riding my moped here in Finland and ended up coming off when a car sideswiped my rear wheel. I was wearing 3 layers on my top and some thick trousers and going only 30km/h, I ended up skidding over 5m on the asphalt. Thankfully it was brand new and smooth, so my leg didn't suffer but I ended up with a very large cut on my elbow through 3 layers of clothing (long shirt, jumper, jacket and a paper thin windbreaker). That just goes to show that coming off even at low speed can be extremely bad. ALWAYS WEAR GEAR
Yay spicy liked my comment! Glad to see that he goes through comments, even on these older videos :) Keep up the great work, hope your back gets better soon! I'm hoping to get my A2 next summer :D
absolutely bloody brilliant explanation. could not have done it any better myself. im sure A LOT of new people will seriously appreciate this video. :)
CBT = A fun day out
Definitely. When I did my CBT I was nervous and such, but after a while it felt like I was sort of on holiday and at one point I forgot that I paid £100 for it. Probably won't be the same the next time I do a CBT but heyho.
Nah, the DAS on a 600 + cc is more fun. (except on exam days). When you've done the CBT 4 times it is boring, like a phd student going back to year 7 primary school.
MeesterDash I did mine in November. In very heavy rain. We resorted to using the instructors bandit 600 as a hand warmer. But hey that's the joys of riding.
No idea why im watching this, i can ride a bike! hahah
haha same! anything from spicy is an entertaining video in my opinion!
Love your voice. Relaxing
As a life long cyclist, that wants to get a motorbike....The controls are a totally mind fuck.
Riding a push-bike was what coaxed me into getting a bike. it's the best thing that's ever happened to me, don't let the technical things get to you. if you want it, you'll pick it up quickly, trust me.
Hi Spicy110 I have been watching your videos and i have found them really useful, passed my cbt and my theory, on direct access route. Keep up good work fella, good job :)
I've been teaching my wife all this for the last 3 weeks, it's really hard work teaching someone to ride I take my hat off to the CBT instructor's. Very good video 😃👍
I know how to ride a bike but I'm here watching this anyway because I enjoy your videos :)
I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more helpful video
I have a 40+ video playlist for new riders check it out 🙂👍
this new mobile version of the comments system is annoying.
when you click the "more replys" button to view more replys, it takes you to a whole different page
And if your on a phone and you don't hit the Read More fuckin bang on you're put into post comment mode.
Bollox
Sleepingdragon 1 Omg i feel you 😂
"i'll teach you how to ride a swan one day" creased. you earned this subscriber haha
Spicy 110 your really good at explaining thing your awesome
Anyone else remember when Spicy said he wouldn't do one of these videos? :) Oh well good video!
+Adam Shax before I had my full licence! That's what I said. 😀
Arrrh okay :D I get the reasoning behind that
I got told not to cover brakes incase you go over a pothole and your hand flys of the handle bar 😂😂😂🤦♂️
I had never rode a bike/scooter and did my CBT on a scooter....afterwards I purchased a scooter and rode it around until I realised I needed something with abit more speed...believe it or not I actually learned myself how to do gears/ride a motorcycle through TH-cam..
I started my CBT on an automatic, never even sat on a bike before, but firstly to just get an idea of the roads and riding in general, after awhile I felt more comfortable to try and get on a manual, again, never been on a manual bike before, but sold my automatic and bought the MSX, so basically pushed myself right into it... watched some TH-cam videos about the whole biting points and changing gears and so on, managed to ride to the nearer car park at night and practised on my own there for a bit, and now i'm really comfortable on a manual and hoping to get my full test done within these 2 years as i've just redone my CBT again :-)
exactly the same here, passed cbt on Sunday, bought my lexmoto adrenaline on Monday, on the roads on MOnday evening. All the best with your biking adventures !
when i did my cbt i was told that if you pass it on an automatic that is all you can ride for 2 years
that's not true
+twiggy that's what I was told by my instructor from the BSM
Alan Austin The type and size of bike that you will be permitted to ride after completing the CBT will depend on your age.
Age Bike
16 years old 50cc moped only
17+ years old Any 125cc motorcycle
The certificate allows you to ride either automatic or manual machines, regardless of the type of bike that you used on your training.
I'm one of those people who panicked during their CBT and threw themselves off their bike by grabbing the front brake. Whoops. Didn't smash the helmet tho. I even came off worse than the bike.
I did that and put my back out, not been able to get back in the saddle in just over 2 weeks now
Cool, when will the video come that teaches you how to pick up a bike after you've dropped it?
You really well at instructing and I would definatly feel eased compared to some I've seen they can be harsh and arrogant due to experience I want someone to put me at ease not make my nerves worse theres always a type we all know the type of instructor I'm talking about
I had a narky type when I took my CBT years ago. I felt like saying, "Please, go and do something else. You're not cut out for this."
You're already nervous, and these make it worse.
Been on mine 7 months now all feels second nature
same here. When I first got my 125, I was sceptical about the gearing, but as soon as I got going, i picked up the gearing. it took me about 2 or 3 days to get comfortable and about a week or two to really get better.
This is the best instruction i`ve seen on youtube. You did a great job mate!
Don't cover your front brake as if you brake without the throttle fully shut, which wouldn't happen if you had to shut off the throttle before braking (ie when you're not covering front brake), you reduce the effectiveness of your braking as your engine is still trying to accelerate.
I have my CBT in less than 10 hours. I am absolutely bricking it haha!
How did it go?
i am looking for my 1st bike. im in the uk and i do 50 miles to work and back everyday on a-roads, dual carriageways
I passed my cbt yesterday and the slow control stuff you've posted and the tips for figure of 8 and u turning made those sections of the day an absolute breeze, so thank you so much!
I have a pretty rudimentary question about breaking though. When I'm bringing the bike down in speed to either stop, approach a roundabout, or turn off to a new road I think I am I meant to (ignoring mirror, signal, lifesaver, position etc) 1) close the throttle, 2) begin breaking using the front then rear brake 3) shift into first and keep the clutch in until I can see if I'm stopping or going 4) carry on or stop. Is that right? Which break should I be applying first? I tended to favour feathering the rear break on my cbt to reduce my speed (with engine breaking) because I totally messed up on my ride and basically dropped the bike at low speed, turning off a major to minor road on a right turn and although I recovered composure and finished the ride well, it did scare me and made me very hesitant to use the front break.
Edit - actually, watching this again I think I messed up my engine breaking and then when the bike lurched/skidded, I applied the front way too hard.
If you have anymore questions about getting a bike see this playlist of videos it will really help! th-cam.com/play/PL-ow7a_42PpS4RoPPNeBgQ3oEagBWT9Ey.html
Thank you for helping me grow a pair with your how to vids (I booked my CBT for this weekend)!
Great guide mate!
Regarding the engine braking: I ride a 2004 Honda Varadero 125, which has a V2, and that bike has MASSIVE engine braking! I don't even need to use my brakes at all most of the time. That's convenient, as you don't wear out your brake pads as much, and it is actually good fun. For whatever reason, but I love having the most control over my bike :D 125's are awesome when it comes to that!
Nice video man, I remember when I started the hardest thing to get in my head was the order in what you do things when you're changing gear. But once you get it, you never forget it until it becomes second nature, like everything.
The instructors will sort you out, they want you to pass after all, if you get an instructor that doesn't want to answer questions they you've got a bad one unfortunately, but ask everything you want and they should be happy to help.
What would you say about Kevlar Jeans, recommended if someone wants them or not?
Thanks a lot, i've got my Lexmoto Adrenaline, and passed my cbt on sunday i'm now on the roads and loving it. This video is fantastic help for us learners!
Great video Spicy. Felt like I was back on my CBT. Think doing the video on a 125 was perfect, as it showed them what the 125 will do.
The one thing that I had to get use to was the slow control. The looking where you want to go was the big thing I had to figure out.
I'll show you how to ride a Swan one day! 🤣🤣🤣
after you have your CBT what else do you need before you can ride on the roads?
Nothing license wise. That allows a 16yr old to ride a 50cc and a 17yr old a 125cc for 2 years on L plates.
Great vid, although I could've done with this a couple of weeks back when I did my cbt! :D
funny how you are doing this, CalmBiker has just started something similar using Full Control but this is a good precursor so go hand in hand :)
only other thing id add would be to not lock your elbows straight
have them bent little - should be able to flap them up and down
This is the most informational and easy to follow video I've seen, cheers :-)
No one has ever explained it as good as that on TH-cam, great video 👍
Thanks, I do aim to do things better than most. 🙂
Another great vid Spicy, but as a Newbie complete novice- am I clicking the gears up and down or click down for 1st, then lifting the gear pedal for the rest ?
So weird watching this and knowing it's 10 minutes down the road from where I am!
Haha well this is the area im in
I went for my first cbt on a motorbike 8yrs ago, i dropped it within 5 minutes, they put me on a scooter and ive been riding a 125cc Lexmoto Diablo ever since and i love it.
At the ripe old age of midlife crisis I am seriously thinking about learning to ride. This vid has confirmed that I going to book my CBT. Awesome vid, great explanations...even thickos like me can understand. Thank you.
Best of luck and indeed it's never too late, the oldest chap to jump on a bike for the first time from my videos was nearly 80 and he's loving it. Haha
Considering Ukraine is winning the war, what Putin wants is irrelevant. Hilarious that Ruskis think they are winning. Jesus, just look at the losses.
I fucked up multiple times in my CBT, and I still passed first time. There is seriously nothing to be worried about if you simply use your brain and listen.
Great video you got me believing I can do this how is that bike you are riding. Im looking at that as my first bike or would you recommend something else
I went into a wall on my bike lesson at like 15mph and ended up with cuts and bruises and was limping for like a day. Gear is so important.
oh
when im on my bicycle i always have a finger on my front brake
that is a skill issue id rather tell people to learn to use their front brake not be scared of it
Next weekend will be fun and the week after 2oct motorcycle theory test 3rd October cbt 6th Oct car driving exam
After a year of riding I still enjoy watching this video.
I've been riding for like 5 days now and I'm still stalling at every damn roundabout and too scared to go faster than 50mph 😂
TheBeardedHistorian how are you at riding now?
Taking my CBT next month Spicy.. Thanks for the informative video 👍🏻
Best of luck!
I'm currently doing my CBT is there a easy version to trying to understand how you and the bike become
For what it’s worth not be tempted to try on a twist and go because having a neutral is probably better and more intuitive in the early stages.
great intro to bikes for new riders! where were you when I was getting into it beginning of last season? good job
Really enjoyed! Getting ready for my CBT today so this was very helpful. Calmed my nerves a little as well.
+marcus wilson perfect that's what I made it for. Best of luck 🍀
I actually really appreciate this video Ive been putting this off for a while now and this has got me motivated
Do it! Seriously you will question why you didn't do it sooner 💪
If you're new to riding, give it a week and you won't even have to think about changing gears.
Really helpful video - thanks!
biggest thing to annoy/concern me about riders is leaving indicators on...
personally i regularly press the cancel whilst riding...
best tip is i make the "tick tock" noise when i use my indicators so i remember to cancel them 😁
hi mate i been riding a automatic bike getting a geared one soon hope family are all well and you and reno
Passed my test 30 years ago, in 1989.. God I’m old.. Still bimbling around..with a Fireblade (summer only I might add) 🤓
who stuck all the lego bricks in the way?
Wow, Spicy. This vid has got to be one of the best ever on "Learning to Ride" Clear, concise and practical. Hope you continue the "Series". Back "in the day" (UK) I, bought a ¨bike from the shop - "Have you ridden before?" was asked. If answer was no -"Well jump on back - once round the block to show the controls" and away you went.
Spicy110 use Trx spanner’s instead of ring end ones you strip less
Just done my CBT, never drove a car so was literally new to it all, was with 2 ladies who had ridden previously.....was told I would be on a 50cc automatic and I'd need to come back to learn manual. I got use to most things, (roundabouts I need to not stop n let every Tom, Dick n Harry pass)
Not all indicators have click to clear. Used to have a 50cc that had a clunky switch that had three positions. Now have an 800cc BMW that doesn't have it either! Has a tiny lever that again has three positions but instead at different angles. Sure you probably know that Spicy, but just in case any confused learners see this.
Great tutorial mate...
clear and with examples, spot on.
There's a couple of questions i have tho...
is breaking on a cruiser 125 is still same even tho the weight distribution is a bit different?
And secondly is engine breaking as effective when you're going down a steeper hill coming to junction let's say?
Any response is appreciated.. Thanks and ride safe!
Where were you riding by the water?...Looks a nice place
This video is actually very helpful!! As I have no clue how geared bikes work 😂 but atleast I have some idea now! 😂 thanks mate your videos are very helpful keep it up mate
You could also watch the new updated version of this I have just made, it's linked in the pinned comment of this video! 😀
So if im going from 1-2-3-4-5, do I have to do the whole set off slowly with the clutch thing like in first or can you let it out quicker?
Also when engine breaking do you use any throttle?
I am so nervous to do my cbt, I keep watching this video over and over haha, I hope I don't mess up and look stupid, I am not overly polished in the brain department
It's perfectly normal to be nervous, don't sweat it. Just be calm and listen to your instructor, and don't be scared to ask question! You are paying them after all.
spicy110 thanks man I appreciate your help
Don't cover your front brake as if you brake without the throttle fully shut, which wouldn't happen if you had to shut off the throttle before braking (ie when you're not covering front brake), you reduce the effectiveness of your braking as your engine is still trying to accelerate.
Just got back into bikes after 30 years. Your videos are brilliant and inspiring. Ex navy and love pompey. Be great to meet up for a beer. No bikes lol. Good luck buddy and stay safe. Jon
I was surprised that you didn't say you were an instructor. You were able to explain everything very precisely without going "ehhhh" or getting lost in what you were saying. Thanks for the upload!
Thanks mate very informative. Just bought a bike yesterday (age 40 and my first ever motor vehicle) very exciting but bricking it about the CBT a little. 😂
Doing my CBT in a couple of days and this was really helpful, thanks :)
Skwoshy Moto I did! Was so much fun,my CBR turns up end of the week, just waiting for it to be lowered :)
Skwoshy Moto 5'0 lol :)
Skwoshy Moto I hear you! They had to bring a little zonte tiger in for my cbt because my toes didn't reach the floor on any of the bikes they usually use haha :)
I tested for endorsement here in the states when I was 18. I have made sure to renew it every chance I get. I went years without riding, but was still endorsed. I was cast as a demon biker in a film, and beings I still had my endorsement, they let me do my own riding. Anyway, awesome and informative video. Always stay certified people.
Going for my CBT soon and this made me feel so much better!
Best of luck!
Cheers bud. Been riding an automatic 50cc moped and now going to a geared 125cc bike... strange how the law works. I had no idea how to ride a geared bike.
Spicy you should make a petition to change the bike laws so I don't have to get a 125cc when 17 although people can get any car at 17 I think it's unfair
I think that at 17, you should be allowed to at least get a 250, just so you can actually keep up with motorway-speed traffic, and have enough power to get out of dangerous situations.
Even if you got a full A1 licence, your max speed is still only going to be ~70, where as a normal car can reach 90+
Xenro66 I Agree and a motorcycle is more dangerous for the rider but is safer for others but a car could do a lot more damage to its surroundings. It doesn't make sense if its to keep people safe why can a car go faster when its bigger and could run over loads of people! And they dont understand why bikes need stronger engines to get out of situations like tail gates but if your on a 125cc your fucked!
Mark Lee Exactly! This is why I think the UK law is just stupid, and is doing more harm than good... Especially when 1 tonne metal boxes travelling at speed and close proximity are involved :/
I agree with all this, that a 17yro just passed test can go and get an Audi capable of well over 100mph, with a tonne or so of metal round him, which could very easily kill a rider/driver, and 17yro on 125s are even limited to restricted versions of 14.6bhp, why don't they restrict peds at 16 to 40mph, at 17 a 250cc and etc etc as that would work a lot better, and a CBT should last til you could do your A2?
I didn't realise Tom Scott does biking tutorials 😆
Hiya Spicy I am an Old timer but I think your videos are fantasic I ve subscribed ages ago. but have introduced my grandson to you so you have another admirer. we hope to riding together before summer is over.
Saw suggestion for this video off reddit and it didn't disappoint. Going to book my CBT now. Thanks Spicy
Best of luck! 🙂👍 Check out my playlist, tips for new riders
cheers for both these videos this one and what to expect in your CBT helped out alot for mine today bike next 😎😁 cheers +spicy110
ive done 2 cbts on mopeds (rode mopeds for about 4 years )and i feel a bit lost about getting my first 125 bike due to gears , should i redo a cbt on a bike instead ?
I'm in the same boat, I want to get a full licence, but all the bike schools tell me I have to do it on geared bike, I cant imagine learning to ride with gears and doing mod 1 and 2 within a few days
well this was really helpful im kinda new to biking ive done a few hours or one and needed a quick refresher on the controls and this perfectly described everything i needed to know i got my cbt thursday so im now looking forward to it rather than feeling nervous
Now with the indicators the is a gadget called Smart Turn System. It will cancel your indicators of the Same people that made the Smart Brake Module.
I would not use that, I was offered it when I got the brake light kit.
I got it but to complicated to fit. I have on the left indicator on the left right on the right handle bar. Cancel is on the right on a separate button. I got the Smart Brake on the recommendation from your video. Thanks.
You are a serious help instead of just explaining you actually show what happens as someone who is doing their CBT soon it really eases my nerves
Hey quick update, my CBT was postponed due to weather till today and I passed thank you so much
You should totally do a video on DAS mod 1&2 dude! I hope this video helps so many! We need more bikers on the road! People will look out for us more!
thank you!
If u have ride a cycle at a high sleep like I do when u get on a motorbike everything just hops into place the only thing new is changing gears
You really are good at this. Your why of describing things make things seem so simple and less frightening. Good on you keep it up.
doing my cbt next month and about all I've had on a bike is being sat on the back so this is really helping me to know what the hell stuff is
Definitely deserves a like, great video!
Thanks check out my motorcycle tips for new riders playlist on my channel.
