      @@Dallass66 most bikes don't have leaning ABS. If your front wheel locks up for a split second while leaning there's a 99% chance you're going down. As a beginner you should avoid touching the front brake while leaning. If you need to stop while leaning: first you stand the bike, then you brake. As you become a better rider you'll learn more advanced techniques that include braking on corners, like trail braking. Focus on the basics at first and avoid the front brake on corners.

    As a new rider, that slow easing out on the clutch is the best and most to-the-point tip I've seen yet. So many other vids just say something vague like "give it some gas and slowly let out the clutch". You giving a real sense of how long to ease out the clutch is super informative.

    When I first started riding a motorcycle everything went great, until I made my first turn at speed, around 30 mph. I turned the handlebars left, but the bike wanted to go right and lean right, and I drove off the road and onto a neighbors lawn. I managed to stop, but I couldn’t figure out what had just happened. I called my brother in-law, who was an experienced rider, and he laughed and told me I had to counter steer around a corner when a bike is traveling at any speed greater than parking lot speeds. Due to the rotating heavy front wheel, there is a gyroscopic action when you turn a motorcycle at speed. It will lean and turn the opposite way you want or expect it to.
    How I eventually came to terms with this, was to just push on the right handlebar when I want to turn right, and push on the left side when I want to turn left. At speed you are not actually turning the handlebars, you are applying a force and the bike reacts, turning and leaning into the corner for you.
    If you don’t believe me, go to a toy store and buy a gyroscope and test this out for yourself.

      I went through something very similar! I have driven manual transmission cars for quite some time, so the concept of easing out the clutch for a smooth start was a win. When I got to ride my friend's Nighthawk around our neighborhood block I was a little intimidated. I eased out that clutch and took off, but when I got to the first corner, I took a wiiiiide line haha. It just didn't make sense to me and made me feel uncomfortable. It felt very foreign to me.

      and you are the only one who took a beginners hands-on riding course.
      Thats probably why you are still here, they could well all be dead.
      Its incredibly irresponsible for this guy selling motorcycles to claim he can teach anyone how to ride in 5 minutes.
      All this video shows is how to get the motorcycle going, and how to shift up - that bike he is on can hit 100mph in 10 seconds
      NOTHING else about steering, braking, skidding, traffic hazards, holding your line thru a curve....
      Riding a motorcycle is VERY different from riding a bicycle.
      Keep up with the practice, glad to see you are still with us and thank your friend, he probably saved your life.

The first time I was able to ride again, I knew I was back and it all came rushing back into the muscle memory. I ride 5 different bikes and all are vastly different from one another in handling, comfort, riding position etc. But none of that matters if you've got the muscle memory. I would caution anyone that's a brand new rider to stay OFF the road until they've completed their states required safety learning course. I'm an ABATE Recruiter and I can tell you with 100% certainty...there a LOT of people out there who simply shouldn't ride. It takes a certain mental strength that some simply cannot develop.

Riding on a public roadway is a whole different ballgame. Know how a bike 🏍 operates and be a good rider before you ever contemplate hitting the streets. A riders course is a very good idea to get edumacated in riding if you’ve never ridden a bike. Learn how to live while being a motorcyclist.
