Mag, I really think you mean the “ Idiot” riders. I ride daily ( As long as it’s not snowing) and I have NEVER Rev bombed , never angrily broken a mirror, of course I’ve given a one finger salute. I’ve been riding since I was 16 I’m 55 now. Yes I’ve dropped the bike, I’ve fallen over ( Forgot the Kickstand) silly mistakes but nothing to hurt anyone or get hurt. I really think you mean the idiot wannabe race drivers.
Jesus..... I came on here to take the piss and say "that's probably because you're a teenager with the attention span of a goldfish" Now I feel like a jerk. Guess I am one. You never stood a chance with all the crap they pumped into/sprayed over your food or put in the water.
7:44 I don't see what the issue is. When filtering, things get pretty close, that's why you go slowly. The truck is just in his lane, sure he might be moving around in his lane, but he's perfectly entitled to do so. To me this looked like generic filtering hazards. In fact, here's a tip from a rider doing 10-15k miles per year commuting on two wheels: if cars getting really close makes you angry like that, DON'T FILTER, because you're obviously lacking confidence and therefore are endangering yourself.
The truck tried to lane change (had his right signal on). The issue though is like you said, typical filtering risks. No one's really expecting there to be bikes filtering all the time. Dumb dumb's gotta get physical and punch the guy's mirror though when a single beep on the horn would have been fine.
Same here - I've been riding for a couple of years, but after watching nearly all Dan´s videos the last year, i've got a new mindset. Intersection - Orange stage! Side of the vehicle - roll of the throttle and cover the brakes. Pay attention - you are responsible for your own safety. When I ride, I always place myself for safety and planning my ride, looking for an escape path. DDFM repeats himself over and over and over, but it works and has made me a more safe rider. Though English is not my first language, I hear and repeat DDFM's voice in my head when driving.
Been riding for almost a decade, I used to be a total bikes vs cops kid. Now I watch your videos just to remind myself to he safe, mature and constantly refresh my skills. Thanks man, im better rider because of you.
I liked Dan skipping over the video where he turns around to go "have a talk" with the driver who made a mistake. A lot of wasted time when in reality nothing happened I hate having to review someone just being a baby over a minor mistake 😂
The whole thing would have been mitigated with a little bit of common courtesy. They both arrived at the 4 way stop at approximately the same time. The biker is turning left however the car is proceeding straight. Let the car go and then make the turn safely knowing you don't have to cross the path of another vehicle. Did the biker have right of way? ... probably...but it's just safer to let the car pass and move on with your day.
Agreed. I've been in front of a similar incident regarding an honest mistake where I saw a rider 'chasing' a car few meters. Driver got out, rider got off, rider went ahead to punch the driver, driver smashed him back into his bike. Not smart, just because you wear a helmet and hiding behind it, doesn't mean the other person will just back off; Especially when you're being dumb af. Anyway, lesson for all (including myself back then) future riders and drivers.
Thank you for not replaying the videos 5 times and also for not giving those like-thirsty riders any attention. Appreciate you for actually listening to your community
I have been riding for over 30 years and I was told that when filtering (lane splitting) to only travel 5mph faster than the traffic. That advice has kept me safe even when other bikes behind me want to go faster, I then pull over and let them go and I continue on my way.
Hey Dan. I’ve been following you for a while now. Always wanted a bike but I also thought it was too dangerous so I just got a car instead. Starting my bike license next week and feeling ready to be a SMART rider! Thanks for everything! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
When u fell asleep at 7:15 reading that 😂😆💀💀💀 Good job on that driver, the horn didn’t help 💀💀💀 dude I’m crying. Keep it up Dan ur teaching me every upload my guy.
That rev bombing at 6.18 is a sign of a noob. If you have time to rev bomb you have time to slow down or accelerate out of the situation. There was no danger and it was nothing more than a minor annoyance. On streets like that it's to be expected.
I have rode motorcycles for 15 years and the ppl that ride like a$$holes. Then bust mirrors are an embarrassment to motorcyclists and adulthood in general.
One very important thing with side of the vehicle situations and using the horn: only use the horn BEFORE the car advances into your road. That way they might hear your horn and stop before advancing, which is ideal. Has saved me more than once. DON'T, however, use the horn once the car has started its advance into your road. Chances are the driver will get startled and brake/stop, and now you have a car stopped in front of you and across the road. Very very dangerous. If the car has started advancing into your road, brake and take evasive action, but don't honk your horn. Let the car go across your lane as quickly as possible, as that's the most chance you have of avoiding a collision.
I feel like half of the videos (if not more) on Motostars are just knuckleheads who intentionally cause close calls to suckle the teat of those sweet, sweet internet likes.
Honking at people who fail to yield can be a dangerous waste of time since some clueless drivers will stand on their brakes in a blind panic when they hear a horn. I used to always honk the horn at people who made mistakes so they'd "get feedback" on their driving but after several instances of this making a situation worse I stopped.
Yep. Works out a lot better in the end. Gotta keep a cool head. People know immediately when they fuck up and if they don't, chances are honking at them is NOT going to make things any clearer. I got cut off today, it was what I'd call a "soft cutoff", I didn't have to hard brake or anything but it was heavy traffic and he swerved in front of me. I didn't do anything and sat behind him in traffic. Couple seconds go by and the guy stuck his hand out the window to say sorry/thanks for letting me in. I gave him a thumbs up and we went our separate ways. No biggie at all.
I liked this lesson. Thank you for all your videos. They remind me of alot of situations and make me realize im not the only biker out there that this happens to. Its humbling. Thank you
Fun fact, the two short clips starting @12:12 and ending at @13:30 are from Slovakia (EU). The 'Ilava' region is quite nice, actually, a few roads running through countryside and forests (the asphalt ones) are a real treat for a chopper / cruiser biker like me. But yeah, when near civilization (or rather, settlements), you have to be much more alert there, compared to some of the more densely populated towns and areas - drivers' skills are generally regarded to as 'not so strong' in this region.
Nice. For the first time I see a short scene from a place I know. 12:20 is from Trenčín in Slovakia. I also drive in that city when the weather is good.
2:48 I do this in my car. If I am getting tailgated or someone is keying their acceleration on me,I slow down,pull over and let them pass. No hand gestures but I sit in the car saying GO-GO-GO YOU ARE IN A HURRY-GO. I am always amazed how many people WANT OR NEED to start an issue but as soon as you pull over they look at you like scooby doo. No gestures,just let them go and if they won't go,get ready to call the police. Driving away like crazy person just makes them think you want to race.
06:06 My guess...when he noticed the car he realized his corner turning space was reduced by half (no longer had the option of going wide into that lane), panicked and hit the front brakes a bit too hard causing the bike to shift weight off the rear tire while in a lean.
06:29 Dude, the car STOPPED. The car did everything right there and they stopped before the guy did the stupid rev alert thing. I realize it's scary but save it for when somebody actually does something bad and puts you in danger.
The guy that crashed into the power poll was saying it was the rider's fault that he crashed. A witness that wasn't with rider's gave a statement to police that the rider's were not at fault .
You should visit Rosyth in Scotland, there is a pretty unusual double-roundabout that has regular crashes - it looks like a figure-8 with multiple exits and the amount of people who go in and end up getting the wrong exit is insane.
its a shame that they initiated an attack making his maneuver more self defense/confusion more than anything. The bikes incriminated themselves more than the driver ever did. Moreover they were acting like immature jackasses creating safety issues on the road then attacking people who tell them to take their horse play off of the dangerous public areas....... its like being at a gun range and having the guy in the stall next to you practice spinning a loaded revolver like a cowboy in the movies. Its dangerous and stupid, there are places and contexts to do stuff like wheelies and fancy gun spinning. Public spaces where safety is a priority is not the place for that shit. You are on the same channel I am, this channel is ALL ABOUT SAFE RIDING and those guys were doing the exact opposite of safe riding and making people on the road Nervous. Just because you signed up to gamble your life on a 2 wheeled death machine doesnt mean other people should be forced to gamble with you...... Doing wheelies in the middle of the traffic at high speeds near other cars is as immature and stupid as it gets. What is even more stupid is attacking someone for telling you to stop doing dangerous stuff and putting other people at risk just so you can look "cool" doin your wheelie.
8.18' DDFM: 'Increase your space cushion between you and the wierdoes in the cars'... 8.24' car swerves off road into a tree - hilarious! (But as usual, really smart commentary and tutorial - good advice!! from DDFM)
12:30 what I see a lot of is people hitting their horns tends to scare the drivers into hitting their brakes instead you should try to avoid the vehicle in any way possible
6:41 These are farm tractors not over the road trucks. They live in the area and have to use the rural roads to get the hay, corn, and beans moved from the fields to storage. Give them room. Quite often they are legally, farmers are granted some special privileges, driven by youngsters. No one would intentionally run their equipment into the guardrail and damage it. That just makes for delay and extra work repairing a hay wagon.
01:19 Well said. If you are with 5 or 6 other riders and you are in staggered formation that extends 5 car lengths people are going to force their way to their exit. You really do have to think about other people too. That was a busy highway with exits coming routinely and a ton of cars on their left. It would have been smarter to ride in that formation in the left lanes rather than blocking all those cars from the exit lanes.
I`m driving bike and a car ofc (always watch behind on mirrors for bikes etc.) but about someone hit while in front of me its not I don`t like to see it when I am in a car but what would be if that guy fall in front of me and I couldn`t brake on time? There is time and place for that kind of stuff but bunch of riders don`t give a sh...
@10:58 - "if someone tells you not to do something, don't do it." Gotta add a huge asterisk to that statement. If they tell you not to do something and they are not in imminent threat of further risk to safety or death, don't touch. You can look, you can advise, you can touch the vehicle, but don't touch them. That said, if there's further risk to the person (car crash on railway with train approaching, smell of gasoline and fire nearby, etc...) you're covered by the Good Samaritan laws.
Also on quiet country roads if a car stops just past a turn off (side street) or a driveway, there is a good chance they a going to do a U-turn because they missed their turn, usually without looking behind them because the road is "quiet". I always slow down when I see that and bip my horn before them, hopefully they will hear that, if not I am ready for them anyway.
I did a brown stage maneuver last night. Had full gear on so i managed to only get a bruise on my hip. Definitely going straight to the parking lot next summer when the bike is ridable again!
@@SomeOne-zz4hs I was in a pretty high traffic area so i was going the speed limit! Slowed down a little when a lady pulled out in front of me. Swerved to avoid hitting her and squeezed the front brakes too hard which caused me to lose traction and fall😔
Some of these bikers see the danger ahead of time and instead will speed up just to make a scene. A vehicle will be pulling out a mile away and some of these bikers will lay on the horn.
I thought the same about being in a long staggard formation, but then I considered the fact that if it was a semi in the way, they'd have had to break and maneuver around to exit
I have to say if I am in a truck, and my mirror is smashed by a rider, my truck may inadvertently jerk in the direction of the impact. Likely ending in a broken mirror on both vehicles.
The irony of smashing someone's mirror because they didn't see you BECAUSE YOU WERE RIDING IN AN UNPREDICTABLE MANNER! Not only are they less likely to see the next rider with a mirror missing, they are also less likely to care. As much as I am a responsible rider, I could be the next rider that they chose not to care about. IMO smashing mirrors is actually a hit and run, and should be prosecuted.
When you see the side of a vehicle DO NOT HONK THE HORN. The horn isn't going to stop you from slamming into the side of a dummy. And if anything, it will scare them and they'll hit the brakes and slow down right in front of you. Very few people hear car horns and go "Huh, lets gun it"...
So many angry bikers wanting to fight with much bigger vehicles in traffic. Stupid. Always best to be chill and hyper vigilant and always clocking your mirrors to know where all your possible "threats" are and accepting that often they don't even see you ...
Hey! I recognize that street at 1:50. It's Woodman Drive in Dayton Ohio. People do in fact drive like idiots here. The drivers test is super easy and motorcyclist think they own the road. love it 😁😁
those big tractors often have no choice to take those routes, and going on bigger roads might even be more dangerous than smaller backroads. When im driving tractor on a normal road I see car drivers taking insane risk just to get past without any view ahead of the tractor.
On an early segment in this video you said, "good staggered formation". I timed the space separation and they were less than a second behind each other. How is that a good separation? Good stuff, S
In Canada We have what is termed the " Good Samaritan Law" So if you are not a RN or Doctor you are protected from liability If you believe that your actions are in the Best interest of saving the Person,regardless of if You make it worse.
does motorcycle emergency make you want to hit brakes? I understand that's stupid to compare motorcycles and mountain bikes, but during my bike stunting years, hitting the brakes, when the bike is less stable was the last thing to want to do...
Was that guy on the roundabout French? I had one the other day stopping on one coming off the motorway. For reference, here in the UK, one of the more sensible rules of the road is that you give way when entering a roundabout. As in you stop, wait for a gap and slot in. And whatever you do, you DO NOT STOP in the middle of a roundabout (unless there's a red traffic light or something). As I understand it, in France you just get on it and once there you stop and give way to others getting on. First off, WTF France? But yeh, that dude was literally just there giving way to people who were giving way to him... In hindsight it may have been beneficial to pull up next to him and explain the difference - he was being a road hazard anyway.
4:25 Looks like body position is off He looks like he is towards where the bike is leaning. I think that maybe just maybe he wouldve gained a bunch of more traction from that wet road if he would've counterleaned a bit more Counter leaning is better for both ur awareness of whats going around u and quick pivots and constant/instant changes or direction and its better for wet surfaces on most bikes and scenarios specially the slow with tight turns ones
little remark on you pointing out that the horn doesn't do anything (12.03min). If anything, the horn (or revbomb for that matter) makes the opposing party aware that they are f-ing up and they might try to adjust in an unexpected way. Giving you even less time to adjust your speed/course. Accepting the fact that they didn't see you and leave them on their ignorant trajectory makes it at least predictable where your escape path lies.
Thanks Dan for skipping the idiotic road rage over virtually nothing. I'm tired of watching that nonsense
I wonder if they don't just do it for the views

Gotta add a huge asterisk to that statement. If they tell you not to do something and they are not in imminent threat of further risk to safety or death, don't touch. You can look, you can advise, you can touch the vehicle, but don't touch them.
That said, if there's further risk to the person (car crash on railway with train approaching, smell of gasoline and fire nearby, etc...) you're covered by the Good Samaritan laws.
My ex cop MSF course instructor said he frequently breaks off peoples mirrors "to teach them a lesson"
Non local people in cars can be the most dangerous as they dont know where to turn off from its not really their fault.
Also on quiet country roads if a car stops just past a turn off (side street) or a driveway, there is a good chance they a going to do a U-turn because they missed their turn, usually without looking behind them because the road is "quiet". I always slow down when I see that and bip my horn before them, hopefully they will hear that, if not I am ready for them anyway.
I did a brown stage maneuver last night. Had full gear on so i managed to only get a bruise on my hip. Definitely going straight to the parking lot next summer when the bike is ridable again!
Storytime?
@@richardelliott581 do u want the story? Sadly didn't get it on camera 😔
was it above or at the speed limit?
@@SomeOne-zz4hs I was in a pretty high traffic area so i was going the speed limit! Slowed down a little when a lady pulled out in front of me. Swerved to avoid hitting her and squeezed the front brakes too hard which caused me to lose traction and fall😔
@@IRideMotorcycles Bummer, did she stop?
DAN DAN pleeeeeeeease get Australia on your mailing list! I need a cap for Summer
"Having fun, doing wheelies"
You forgot 'endangering others'.
I love how so many of these riders think they are the only ones on the road who should never have to use their brakes
Yeah, if you ride as if public roads are a private race track just for you, your gonna have a bad time.
2:00, they got lucky, thats how u get killed, every guy that drives a truck down here in Florida carries an assault rifle, i know a few😎
Some of these bikers see the danger ahead of time and instead will speed up just to make a scene. A vehicle will be pulling out a mile away and some of these bikers will lay on the horn.
Or speed up, rev bomb and wave their arm all around. Knuckleheads ...
I thought the same about being in a long staggard formation, but then I considered the fact that if it was a semi in the way, they'd have had to break and maneuver around to exit
Nice little mini. Thanks Teach.👍😁
@5:50 I’ve seen giant street signs fly out of those exact trucks. Get away from them as fast as you can! 😬
I have to say if I am in a truck, and my mirror is smashed by a rider, my truck may inadvertently jerk in the direction of the impact. Likely ending in a broken mirror on both vehicles.
The irony of smashing someone's mirror because they didn't see you BECAUSE YOU WERE RIDING IN AN UNPREDICTABLE MANNER! Not only are they less likely to see the next rider with a mirror missing, they are also less likely to care. As much as I am a responsible rider, I could be the next rider that they chose not to care about.
IMO smashing mirrors is actually a hit and run, and should be prosecuted.
Keep doing the video like this Dan, we love it.
Hard left into the pole, stupidity has no limits. Theres the reason I'm not a first responder anymore.
8:25 “Recalculating”
When you see the side of a vehicle DO NOT HONK THE HORN. The horn isn't going to stop you from slamming into the side of a dummy. And if anything, it will scare them and they'll hit the brakes and slow down right in front of you. Very few people hear car horns and go "Huh, lets gun it"...
So many angry bikers wanting to fight with much bigger vehicles in traffic. Stupid. Always best to be chill and hyper vigilant and always clocking your mirrors to know where all your possible "threats" are and accepting that often they don't even see you ...
hello love the video cant wait for more thanks
not going back huh? interesting video Dan haha
Loving the Office reference!
Hey! I recognize that street at 1:50. It's Woodman Drive in Dayton Ohio. People do in fact drive like idiots here. The drivers test is super easy and motorcyclist think they own the road. love it 😁😁
Depends on country but here you have to by law to stop if you witnes someone is Hurt or could be Hurt.
7:14 you fell asleep 😴 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
7:12 BEST VIDEO WORD BOMB REACTION EVER...LOL!
those big tractors often have no choice to take those routes, and going on bigger roads might even be more dangerous than smaller backroads. When im driving tractor on a normal road I see car drivers taking insane risk just to get past without any view ahead of the tractor.
Can someone explain the 4 way stop sign intersection?
I live in the Tucson area and would love love love to meet y’all sometime how’s that work can we do that?
4:20 I like that you skipped his video. People are risking lives just to get a few views, it's madness.
What if there obviously in a case of shock?
Like, broken bones and blood it obvious head injury?
We still can’t do anything?
8:26 anyone else just died of laughter 😂😂😂
What an idiot! He thought he could just whip the steering wheel like a video game. Understeered right into the pole. 🤣
On an early segment in this video you said, "good staggered formation". I timed the space separation and they were less than a second behind each other. How is that a good separation?
Good stuff,
S
Hi, any chance to be live earlier in the day MST?
mt 07 hell, 2:27 Look at that clean ass 87 Crx! Wow! That things worth a mint in the US.
8:47 not only rips it into a pole but used right turn signal and turned left...
Thanks for the Pizza DanDan, love you man
In Canada We have what is termed the " Good Samaritan Law" So if you are not a RN or Doctor you are protected from liability If you believe that your actions are in the Best interest of saving the Person,regardless of if You make it worse.
I am glad you are doing these videos. Pull motorcyclists into the fold. We get a bad rap from the few squids.
Defense when riding
does motorcycle emergency make you want to hit brakes? I understand that's stupid to compare motorcycles and mountain bikes, but during my bike stunting years, hitting the brakes, when the bike is less stable was the last thing to want to do...
Was that guy on the roundabout French? I had one the other day stopping on one coming off the motorway. For reference, here in the UK, one of the more sensible rules of the road is that you give way when entering a roundabout. As in you stop, wait for a gap and slot in. And whatever you do, you DO NOT STOP in the middle of a roundabout (unless there's a red traffic light or something).
As I understand it, in France you just get on it and once there you stop and give way to others getting on. First off, WTF France? But yeh, that dude was literally just there giving way to people who were giving way to him... In hindsight it may have been beneficial to pull up next to him and explain the difference - he was being a road hazard anyway.
4:25
Looks like body position is off
He looks like he is towards where the bike is leaning. I think that maybe just maybe he wouldve gained a bunch of more traction from that wet road if he would've counterleaned a bit more
Counter leaning is better for both ur awareness of whats going around u and quick pivots and constant/instant changes or direction and its better for wet surfaces on most bikes and scenarios specially the slow with tight turns ones
5:12, ice falling off the trailer? Yikes, that shit's potentially deadly
Ah, unsecured load....
little remark on you pointing out that the horn doesn't do anything (12.03min). If anything, the horn (or revbomb for that matter) makes the opposing party aware that they are f-ing up and they might try to adjust in an unexpected way. Giving you even less time to adjust your speed/course. Accepting the fact that they didn't see you and leave them on their ignorant trajectory makes it at least predictable where your escape path lies.
