Solid, legit advice! I find DanDanTheFireman's videos educating every time one shows up. Motorcyclists riding like idiots is what causes or exacerbates most of the crashes. I choose to be a safe/boring rider because I love motorcycling enough to really want to do it the next day and the day after that, there's no place in my schedule for crashing and taking weeks or more to recover 🤷🏽♂ Still pleasantly surprised that my current bike has been shiny-side-up for 16 years, 150,000 kilometers and counting.
Well, if you're scared of crashing....just get better at riding. Stay out of heavy traffic, ride short distances at a time, take a class or two. Nothing's wrong with being scared of crashing because it definitely is a possibility; it goes away once you're confident of your abilities.
Great video and advice! People can learn feom these videos, and the instructional videos. Trail braking, emergency braking and correct line of path in cornering have all been tremendous help. They are also good for keeping the technique frsh in your mind. Ive become, as ive gotten older, more involved in practicing every few weekends for an hour or so before i ride. Keeping my muscle memory sharp. My stepson wants a bike, he's 17, so, im trying to set an example for him and instill good habits and a safe attitude in him. I think hes leaning towards a Honda Rebel 500. Wanted a Harley, like i ride, but, for cost and maintenance, i took him to the Honda dealer and believe he's sold on it, and hes seen your videos, and loves the sound of yours.. My wife, as well. May have an H-H fam! Harley/Honda United. Stay safe, and have fun on the TV
DanDanTheFireman is a really good channel for new riders to watch. He does excellent breakdowns of crashes, shows what they did right, wrong, and what they could've done to avoid a crash, or even prevent a close call.
That's the channel I watched for months, and I still watch his channel. I learned a lot from listening to him break down how and why it happened and how to correct it. Great channel!
Some good advice here, there have been way too many motorcycle deaths in my area lately, and I honestly wonder if it's inexperienced riders going to had to quick in the wrong areas.
Hey man, fellow Rebel 500 rider and wanting to get into motovlogging. Just looking into mics. Was wondering what you were using? Thank you for your time
Punching mirrors is a bonehead move. Practice counter steering. Look ahead, cover brakes. Also how many accidents are on bends....nothing to prove . Better to get round the curve than sliding along the road.
Don't buy the wrong machine. Get into the right mindset before starting the bike. Making it home isn't a certainty but there are countless ways of improving the odds.

100% agree. I watched channels like DanDanTheFireman for weeks on end. As a newbie rider, it Absolutely helps.
