    I am watching your videos to help me learn and practise my skills at the parking lot. I’m not ready for the main roads yet, I’m a total beginner. Thanks for helping us beginners 🙏

    I had my first crash one week ago at a crosswalk on my 50cc Sym Fiddle III. I was looking at the biker crossing, thought i was much closer to the car in front and grabbed the front brake way too hard and fell on the left side. Got a scraped knee, scraped arm and the scooter only got one scratch haha, i ended uptaking all the impact. Since then i only ride with complete gear, and will wear knee protections as soon as i can wear them without any knee pain. For anyone reading, if u end up falling it will 100% hurt, whether you fall at 10 or 20 mph so wear your gear!

      Oh no! Sorry to hear about your fall.
      Wise words -- wear safety gear!

    I think I would have been in an accident to avoid the lizard 😂😂😂. Thanks for your videos. I had my very first practice ride today after watching your videos. It was stressful, but I know I'll be more comfortable with practice.

    Great series of videos Ian and a beautiful bike. Thanks for the parking tips. May I request a video on dealing with traffic light situations: sitting at lights in the heat and how to keep calm, knowing when to stop or go an amber, lane filtering and positioning oneself in front of traffic, rider tiquette ( or the pecking order...). Perhaps a ride around...

    • @ianwatsons

      Excellent idea - yes. Next time I have some time I will make a video about this.

    The scooter rider above your left shoulder at 21:08 seems to have made a really good u-turn from a standing position.

    What about the quick "bump" left to go right and "bump" right to go left, allowing the counter steer to instantly shift you a couple of foot in either direction to avoid something?

    • @ianwatsons
      @ianwatsons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Bump - Bump... I should have used that word when I made this video. Thanks!

    Hello. You have great content. I have a question: witch helmet is better for scooter 50cc and city ride: full-integral or open like jet.?

    I'm wondering if dealers generally deliver scooters home, because If I'm going to buy one I want be able to bring it home without practice, I fear
