See... when a seasoned rider gives new rider advice, he/she will address gear, lane position at stops, pre-mature group riding and backpacking, TRAINING and MAINTENANCE. These are the things new riders should hear about. 💯 Keeping it real as always, Joe. Nice job.
excellent advice Joe. I was nearly rear ended on an interstate when traffic came to a sudden stop. The driver behind me wasn't paying attention and came within inches of hitting me. I was lucky.....but I don't want to rely on luck. Staying in gear and paying attention to your surroundings AND the vehicles behind you.
so true! I have all these tips when I started riding my motorcycles. Some of them have saved my life. And the last tip about riding with passenger, I told my wife I needed to practice at the parking lot first with her before we ride on the street road. Thanks a lot for this video. It's a reminder for me.
Great stuff Joe! If I was prioritizing "10 things new riders should do" (to help them avoid these mistakes), I'd put Getting Training at the top of the list... specifically slow/low speed control. Learning the proper techniques and having those skills "at the ready", allows for more brain power to see/avoid all those other scenarios. When you're not worrying/anxious about simply coming to a stop, or making a U-turn, it is SO much easier to assess your surrounds and see/prepare for other hazards.
It took me over a year before I put my wife on the back of my bike! Only after I got used to riding with her did, I put my daughter on the back. They are my treasures my everything and together own 2/3rds of my heart! I wanted to be extra sure of my abilities before I took that risk!
I was on a ride out with friends ,we pulled into a Pub car park ,we stopped I put my foot down into a pothole and dropped the bike ,later I noticed impact damage on my helmet.
When I was 15 with about 500 miles of street riding under my belt I blew through red light at a intersection ( Andrew square S Boston MA) were 6 streets intersect how I did not get hit still baffles me to this day as it was 2pm on a Wednesday. There have been other incidents in my 50 + years of riding but that had to be the worst and dumbest.
I thought I could sneak in a pass on the right, didn't see the freeway ramp and a car was ready to make their turn, luckily I was able to speed up and made it. Don't pass on the right!

Man, I’ve done that a few times and it is really dangerous. After a few close calls, I realized it’s just better to wait!
Thank you
