- This weeks video is all about passing on useful tips I’ve learned in the time I’ve been riding a motorcycle. From proper hand and foot positions, to safety steps you should do to your motorcycle, to a bit of advice to new riders about wearing your riding gear.

I like this guy. Thank you for being a full gear non showing off fellow motorcyclist. Hats off mate.
I love how dry his humour is! I was literally crying with laughter when he was describing the final 2 tips, and he doesn't even sound like he's smiling! 😂😂😂 Legend
People give me grief over my safety gear, I bought a "dirt" bike but wear street gear. I bought the bike because I like the look and feel of it and the way it corners without having to lean it very much, I wear the street gear because I ride on the street. My safety my choices.
Yup. Your life, your rules. Ride safe my friend.
Lol those are also the same people that if you were to crash and weren't wearing that gear and just a tshirt and shorts, "why weren't you wearing any street gear.!?!?!" 😂 i have friends that ride in full race leathers, gauntlet style gloves and track boots and on a dirt bike and i have mad respect for them. Someone that actually has a brain and appreciates their life more than what people think of how they look is what matters. As long as YOU feel safe when riding, doesn't matter what kind of bike. Even a little honda grom lol
I can relate. I even brought my street gear to an enduro class since I didn't have anything else at the time. I must've had MX-boots, can't remember, but I had the rest for street use. No one said anything, but I'm sure they wondered a bit. Everybody hade matching bikes and clothes and no bike older than 2years. My bike was 25years old at the time.
Must admit I enjoy "kind of" looking the part on my KLX650R but not infringing on safety. Short spurts at low speed in the city I take my MX-helmet simply for the looks. Longer travels or below zero, I use a full street helmet and full leathers.
MX boots I'm sure are better than street boots for safety, but I cant use them on my other bike GSF1200. I do have some pretty expensive Sidi boots for that though. Kicking my klx is better with mx boots. Destroyed a par of street boots kicking my 610TE one winter (slipping off the kick several times that winter).
I just got my learner permit and I have to wear a fluro safety vest as a beginner. Bit I dont care what people think if it helps me.
RIGHT!
Wow!! I am 40 and finally decided to pick up riding after researching for years.. watching your channel has further given me the boost I need... you definitely gained a follower here 👍🏾👍🏾
Nice video and i loved when you said “Ill rather sweat than bleed” if anybody tell any “why are you wearing all that” this will be my answer, keep on, subscribed
Thanks for watching! Ride safe!
I know, right?! Only if I knew this phrase some years ago
Only a few people try to keep it in brief and to the point.
Only a few like you succeed.
Last tip is the most important
Great advise sir..I'm 43yo and I am just starting to learn to ride a motorcycle..helps me a lot.thank you
You sir are the Bob Ross of motorcycles. Subscribed as a newbie that just bought my first bike as a 40th bday gift to myself.....a few months early.
Welcome to the channel. 👍🏻
I’m just starting to ride and this was a very helpful video.
I’ve heard a few experienced riders state that they rev their engines at stops to make the person coming up behind them aware that there’s a bike in front of them.
Flashing your brake light is a far more effective way of alerting a driver approaching behind you, and it doesn’t annoy others around you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
I don't ever make comments on videos, but I wanted to say this is my favorite beginner video I've watched so far! I bought my first motorcycle last weekend and got my permit two days ago - subscribed!
I give this video 2 thumbs up. It is very rare on TH-cam to have a factual, sensible motorcycle video.
Better to have and not need than to need and not have.. respect that man
Nice bro, I'm a novice rider with like 100 ish miles under my belt haha, I probably spent as much on armour as my bike costed me.
Picked up my first motorcycle yesterday! Thanks for all the great advice.
I've been riding for several years and I still like to watch stuff like this. Especially before spring starts and I haven't rode all winter. All it takes is 1 mistake to get hurt or killed. Always use your head and stay sharp and you should be fine.
Most important piece of advice I would give someone just starting is to always expect there to be something dangerous ahead. All it takes is a few gravel or a pothole around a curve and you could wipe out. I always take it easy and watch out.
And if you can't see good, don't ride. Just don't do it. You will eventually wreck because you don't see something in the road. Im always dodging gravel and grass and stuff every time I ride. My dad wrecked his scooter a few weeks ago because he couldn't see a gravel in the road and he skinned his foot and leg up really bad. All because he's too stubborn to admit he can't see good enough to ride anything with 2 wheels anymore.
I'm a new rider, and is just a Vespa GTS 250 but I like the way you explain things, I train people for a living, and find your style refreshing.
Like you, I started riding street bikes about 3 years ago. I was 41 at the time. I have watched countless videos on TH-cam from so many different people that there is no way I could name them all. I just want to say I'm really impressed with your channel and the advice you give. I tip my hat to you. Be safe out there.
Been riding 45 years now, great tips as always. Thanks for refresher.👊👍
Just started riding. Had to do a course to get road legal - uk, and I LOVE MOTORBIKES!! I cannot wait to get back on and I'm tempted to rebook another course just to get back on the bike. I miss it already. Cant wait to get my own! I look forward to many years riding myself
Words of wisdom thank you Sr. With my full cover up helmet I look like I am going to the moon , but I feel safer and keeps my face warm on cold weather, thank you for your riding videos.
Thanks for the video! I always enjoy "riding" along with you, safe riding and beautiful scenery. As usual, you give great advice for beginners as well as the seasoned riders. Have to say, #10 is my favorite. Anyone stunting on the road should have their license pulled on the spot.
i love the clarity in his videos
I've been riding more than 20 years and all you said is so true. Hope new riders pay attention to it!!! congrats!!!
Such great content. I might sound weird but your voice is smoothing and makes me pay attention to what your saying haha.
Keep up the good work!
Yea, I thought the same thing, but didn't like saying 😂👍
Same here! Hahaha
And great content also!

My friend and i did some wheelies down main street on our groms and this car full of girls thought it was awesome and then we both pulled into gas station and talked to them and they were super interested in learning to ride and loved the groms so we got their numbers and a little over two years later now myself and my friend are each dating one of the girls that we met and all 4 of the girls now ride groms with our group of friends. And when the grom squad is out people always are smiling and giving us thumbs up when we wheelie.
Thanks bro for those precious tips.

I am great fan of "per the manual". So true the designer is the best person to give advice on how to maintain. However, for older bikes you may have to adapt your maintenance to the new product and modifications you made or even to the aging of the bike.
By the way: happy to see you back !
This is the single best video for new riders I have seen.
I am a new rider and just got my new motorcycle so I watched this video a couple of times.
Tips 1 & 2, especially, are very important (things I would never have thought of on my own).
< 200 miles rider here. You’ve earned a new sub! Thanks man!
Great summary of the essentials! 👌🏻
All good advices, ride all safe and enjoy
Wow, an owners manual enthusiast, I thought I was the only one.
I really appreciate a good owner's manual. I just bought a new Kawasaki KX85 motox bike from my boys and the owner's manual as incredible. It tells you how to tear the engine down and do all sorts of a very very advanced job tasks. As well as telling you all the specs beyond anything you would expect to see and a manual. It's really incredible and a really appreciate the time that kawasaki put into this manual. However I suspect the reason is because the manual was probably initially prepared sometime in the eighties when this line of bikes 1st came out and people actually did this type of maintenance on their motorcycles. And they probly never changed it since then. I think if they made the manual from scratch today they wouldn't invest that type of energy. But the manuals incredible in terms of the amount of information that's in there
Looks beautiful over in the valley. Great video like always .
Thanks again. I'm truly learning and enjoying your videos.
Thank you for keeping this concise and to the point! Keep up the good work.

I am about to do my test this weekend. Thank you for sharing!
I've been riding for 10 years, the last two bits of advice are spot on. Don't worry about what others think about you: grow up, be mature, and be responsible for your own safety

Thank you for the video, Thumbs up.
Liked and subscribed. Some great tips and a very well presented video. Thanks!
Great info!!!
Really good video brother. Clean and beautiful.
I rev at a stop light for three reasons:
1. I’m letting my boys know the light is about to change
2. I don’t fully trust my bike to stay running while it’s idling (Despite the fact that it has never done that before)
3. I just like the sound. I do it for me, not anyone else.
Very good video.
Great video!
Thank you for making this video just got my 1st big bike and I'm having problem with the throttle hand position this helps a lot ride safe 🍻🍻
Good tips for even experienced riders 👍
Great tips! Thanks for the video. Agree 100%
Great tips for me as a new roadbiker, I used to ride motocross and endurobikes. Many thanks.
Great video. I'm just returning to biking at the age of 50 and your tips are really useful. Looking forward to your next video. Many thanks.
Nice vidio, most to a regular biker is standard practice, but your never to old to learn , all the best for the new yr, 🤟🤟
Xmas greeting from a biker in Perth WA
Took my Triumph out today for the first time and had whiskey throttle when I was turning around. Luckily, I didn’t panic, recovered it, and rode home and practiced in the garage to remediate those careless habits.
Riding is a perishable skill, so even sitting on it from time to time and simulating common fundamentals will work wonders.
Don’t forget to make vroom vroom sounds while you sit on it. That helps, too. 👍🏻 (not saying I haven’t done that myself) .....lol
Gas Works Garage “vroooooooom, clutch in, gear up, releaasee-vroooooooooom IMMEDIATE STOP!”
Nice Video. Like style it was produced.
This vid makes me want to ride a bike more than any bike tricks vid I’ve seen! Great tips that indeed can only come from a starting biker with a lot of self-awareness! Liked, commented & subbed!
