Ride safe motorhead brother!!!! Everytime I ride, I expect ever cage driver not seeing me and will come into my lane. With that attitude, it has kept me out of trouble do many times. Rubber side down!!!!!
Great video. Your channel is growing quickly. Nice. I like your attitude towards riding. We must take responsibility if we want to survive in two wheels. I don’t watch those road rage channels.
I appreciate the feedback. I like the mental side of riding quite a bit and a cool and level head is always the best approach. We are exposed enough as it is. The rage gets a ton of clicks but play stupid games win stupid prizes as the saying goes.
Nice tips , Definitely odd things do happen on the road. We just have to stay fully aware , cause the oddity does pop up at the least expected time. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for the great support and comments. I really appreciate it. Have my first giveaway for subscribers posting this Sunday so take a look. Hope the holidays have been good for you so far.
Good advice I’m not holding the front brake at a stop. I got rear ended didn’t have my brake on almost knocked me off the bike but the bike suffered no damage at all just push me out into the intersection though
Making sure you aren't on the front at a stop is a good little habit to get into. Definitely a nice little riding tip. Interesting to hear about your experience. Could have been different if you had the front squeezed on for sure. Thanks for the support and comment!
Apple bud earphones could be his option for handsfree. I know this could have its flaws but still legal. Ive always thought the Biggest part of riding safe if anticipation, I agree totally with all you've said.
I thought about that with the airpods...still not a good look or option in my mind. Always best to have a few escape routes in mind and keep a level and cool head. Thanks for the support and comment!
Lots of anticipating, looking at mirrors, checking dead spot, adapting speed to the road conditions, keeping the distance from the cars in front and around, not staying long in drivers dead spots, checking what drivers front wheel is doing tells a lot as well as if they are noticing us with their head direction/looks..... Motorcycle is a big responsibility and requires our senses to work cohesively. By adapting to the world around us we become better riders and enjoy more with decreased possibilities of surprises.
Yeah...somedays are better than others but it truly never gets old for sure. I wish I could stop and take it all in...that would be unwise though, haha.
For me part of the joy of riding is how all immersive it is when done right. In a weird way many things become automatic but the mind must always be crisp, alert, and planning so that the automatic actions can be executed immediately and safely.
It seems more drivers get distracted while on highways. Thankfully I don’t do a whole lot of highway riding. Always gotta have that head on a swivel though. Ride safe bro!!!!
Happened to me 2 days ago, & i was in a bright blue SUV. Guess the driver on my left still didn't see me before switching over. I was sensing it, because he was too scare to pass a bus, so when i was side by side with him, i was prepared. Braked hard to avoid him, even though i have a dashcam.
Yup, I'm always aware of what could happen, and always plan for it to actually happen. Great advice, and unfortunately, great examples. Great video! Stay safe, and stay well PS I recently bought a pin lock helmet because I too like to ride in the cold weather, it works great!
Thanks so much for the support and comment. It's funny, I will go a long stretch with not so much stupidity and then it seems to come in waves. Stay safe out there!
Sometimes growing elsewhere but here in the States and ESPECIALLY riding where they split the lane/filtering taught me A LOT about anticipation of stupidity of anyone around my motorcycle. Here in the States though the riding exam is the example for the rest of the world... Like who would have thought to.make you ride over a 2x4?? But yet again we ride over railtracks don't we?? God bless OUR country. Great video bud. Keep em coming.
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown yeah at some point into the course they had you ride over that 2x4 no bs. I was petrified to say the least but then I remembered the rail tracks lol.
Just came across your channel. Enjoying the content as a fellow rider. I am thinking of a change up to the XR, Multistrada or Ninja 1000sx. More so the first two then the Ninja :) How are you liking the XR? Going to watch your cold weather riding gear video, as it gets pretty cold up here during the winter months. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks so much for the support and feedback. I really love the XR. The biggest deciding factor after putting quite a few miles on both the XR and a 1200S MTS would be engine preference in my opinion. All things being equal, I would go with the V-twin MTS if I had to buy a 3rd. I really wanted to own this BMW and I genuinely love it. I have a soft spot for the Ducati twin but they have moved on when it comes to the MTS. I am not a fan of the new front wheel on the MTS. For me, I was never going to off road that bike and I don't think most people will. They are chasing the wrong segment in my mind. The XR fits my riding needs and style and in the end the engine is "better" I just miss the sound of my big MTS twin, hahaha...but truth be told, you can't go wrong either way and you only live once so do it big and enjoy it!
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown Thank you for that. I have a Street Triple RS now that its marginal comfortable when riding for any distance. I am hoping the XR would solve that for me.
@@StrawDragon It would for sure. My Street Triple RX was always so harsh no matter how I set up the suspension. The leap to either the XR or MTS will give you all day comfort and you won’t give up anything on the sporty side of things. Once you go in on an expensive bike like the MTS or XR it is hard to go back so be careful 😂
You always have to assume that everyone is coming into your lane at all times. I try to let things go now, but there are still times where it's just way to close of a call and I need to confront the driver. They don't learn if they don't get told what they did wrong .
I appreciate the support. I love those little cameras...like em so much I found a used one the other day and picked it up. I am stubbornly stuck just below 500 but did a 500 subs video for the weekend...hopefully it clicks over soon enough, haha.
I don't think I ever noticed before but I like that gauge you have. I try not to flip off drivers doing wrong things. But if they have a liberal idea bumper sticker or something advocating any kind of tax increase I will flip 'em off.
Too many distractions in today's automobiles. I play the game that all cars are out to kill me, my job to not let that happen. Be safe Bro. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Greatly appreciate your support. I've been able to consistently get content out weekly which is my goal for the year. Usually Sunday AM. Thanks again for the sub and support!
The only solution is a very loud horn and a shotgun my friend hahahahahah And you are riding a beemer that I like but just for around burbs and maybe in town hence I went with the GS. Merry Christmas from Tucson AZ. Subd as well
I agree about a nice loud horn. I really like the GS but I don't have the places to get off road so 100% of my riding is on the ole tarmac...still really like that GS though.
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown its that you dont HAVE to go off road with the GS. Its an ability it can provide you is all. I really want to go take the off road skills class if things change... Its really a good thing to have, same like the MSF course.
Seems there are more of these videos out there lately about close calls. As the people of the world reintroduce themselves to society we find they left their brains at home. Nice ride man. Stay safe out there
Great tips brother awesome ride got to stay safe out there
Much appreciated. When it comes down to it you are your own best defense out on the road.
Hey brother. Great video man. The first guy on the interstate....wow. Nice work and informative 👍
Thanks for the support...still not sure about that particular fella, hahaha.
Thanks for the tips. No matter how much we ride we need to keep up on our skills
Totally agree. Always good to stay sharp in skills and mind.
Awesome video! Great advice always be alert and anticipate!
Greatly appreciate the support!
Ride safe motorhead brother!!!! Everytime I ride, I expect ever cage driver not seeing me and will come into my lane. With that attitude, it has kept me out of trouble do many times. Rubber side down!!!!!
Yeah...a good rider needs a good spidey sense for sure. I got to check out your latest...looks like the latest adventure was a good one!

@@ThrottleBackRubberDown th-cam.com/video/Y-bxrUN-WJk/w-d-xo.html This is my reaction to an extremely close call.
Nice tips , Definitely odd things do happen on the road. We just have to stay fully aware , cause the oddity does pop up at the least expected time.
Stay safe.
Absolutely. I feel like these things happens in waves and can almost always be sensed if you are tuned in to your riding. Cheers!
Great morning ride and some good riding tips, first visit and a new Sub, all the best for the Holiday Season, Cheers Dave

Much appreciated. I think the interstate kind of lulls drivers into a numbness and they just aimlessly kind of put their vehicles in bad spots.
Take care Mate and stay well. There are interesting drivers everywhere. Some great tips.
There certainly are. Thanks for the support!
Great tips man! This is right up my ally! I may just do my own version of this lol! Throttle back and Rubber down brother keep it safe, ride maturely!
Happened to me 2 days ago, & i was in a bright blue SUV. Guess the driver on my left still didn't see me before switching over. I was sensing it, because he was too scare to pass a bus, so when i was side by side with him, i was prepared. Braked hard to avoid him, even though i have a dashcam.
Yeah...one way or another you can almost always tell when it is going to happen. Glad it worked out safely on your end.
Appreciate it. I got your number and will follow up with you about the collab....been crazy busy with work and stuff. Ride safe brother.
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown absolutely man! I loved the idea and can’t wait to kick it off man, gonna be good!

Great job big thumbs up keep safe take care catch you later brother Merry Christmas
Thanks Mr. G. Merry Xmas to you as well.
That looks like a whole heap of fun
There are some crazy folks out there for sure!
Stay safe man. Plenty of stupid out there.
That is the truth!

Nice video brother! Let’s get you to 500 subs! Also, I wish they still made the Hero Session 😭

As a matter of fact I do.
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown I'm surprised it still goes misty.

I agree. I find that things are worse than usual as far as the distracted types. Make any progress on the bike search?
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown I thought so and then two more popped up. Gonna have to do a ton of test rides next year.
