First ride on public roads it feels like the millennium falcon entering hyperspace until you look down and realize you're doing 35mph. Then that feeling happens again the first time you get on the highway. Your hundredth time riding feels good until you realize you're doing 60 in a 40mph zone.
Well.. can't argue with it... but in my country, I believe there are no speed limit sign in the public road XD
It has on toll road, it is written max speed 80 kmph, but boy.. everyone drive above it all the time XD
HAHA. SO TRUE.
first time on a rode I felt like I was fucking ZOOMING.
too fucking real bro, this made me laugh in real life. honestly I got that feeling every new 10mph i experienced 10, 20, 30, 40 etc...
@@stephencollins1360 Yes! Same here. I thought this was just me being anxious, good to know it's relatively normal haha! Before I started riding I thought the speed wouldn't bother me at all, I always like to drive my car and ride my bicycle as fast as possible. But the first time I went out on a 30mph road I was terrified! Then the 40 zone came and I thought I was gonner for sure hahaha. Guess it's just the extra air resistance?!
Damn thats pretty accurate
Scariest part is letting out the clutch from a stop with a line of cars behind you.
@@fellastout Yes there is. You can get a used "Honda NC700X DCT" or a new "NC750X DCT". The DCT stands for "Dual Clutch Transmission" which makes the bike an "automatic" bike. It's impossible to stall it. (You can still shift gears using switches on the left side of your handlebar, but you can't stall it) I got an NC700X DCT when I started out and I can highly recommend it for beginners. Then, once you're comfortable riding it, which might be anything from 2 - 6 months, you can go and get yourself a manual bike.
I still kept my NC700X DCT though, because it's the absolute perfect everyday commuter and shopping bike.
Hope that helps! ;)
@@JevoKitano That's a very good bike for people who wants to practice manual riding.
I use a honda cb150 verza and a honda crf150L.
*at a large, busy roundabout
Uphill is way funnier ^^
I haven't stalled the bike on the street yet but that's what electric starts are for lol.
"I'm doing 150mph " actually doing 30. Pretty much sums up the first time .
Remember the first time doing 70mph. Felt like I was leaving the atmosphere.
@@lmlm2500 cant wait till i get my license lmao i wanna feel like leaving the atmosphere
Can verify this as well 😂
Oh well, better to take time & learn the ride through respect than to over-do it & dump it. I have no shame in slowly cruising until absolutely comfortable.
70mph is fast as fk at first until your friends with there big boy bikes and licences are over taking you with ease
Scariest thing for me was going out in public for the first time. Pulling up to a stop light with cars behind you and taking off again. Feels like everyone is gonna watch you if you lay or stall out
It’s pretty much having sex for the first time in a car. Super awkward and you don’t know what your doing or how to do it but it feels good.
So is your first time suppose to be special, or a pump and dump?
Just had sex in a car yesterday 😂😂, drenched in sweat and now my car smells like a gym sock 🥺
@@blving nice to know..
@@blving what was his name?
Jb Vance LMAO
The clutch was always the scariest for me, especially when turning while other people were around. I stalled so hard I had to walk my bike to the side and let everyone else pass until I got myself together again LOL. Never give up, once you learn it, it is incredibly rewarding!
This is me rn🤣
That's why others riders love each other, we've all been humbled, learned some hard ways, and want to improve our style of riding.
As you know now,
We've all been there.
these comments make me feel so much better
that clutch is your friend dont be scared of that clutch
Buying and riding a bike in my forties was the best decision ever. Calming and relaxing. Should have bought a bike years ago. Ladies, do spoil yourself and buy your own bike.
Working on it!
Me too. I am 38 year old male and thinking to buy some cheap cruiser.
That’s cool men! May I ask what kind of bike dud u start out with ?
@@bryanmorales1439 Kawasaki Z300. She's got way more power than people might think for a 300cc. Some people even asked me if it was a 600. I personally think a 300 is a great beginner bike. I might upgrade to something bigger in 2 years time. As a female and first time rider I can honestly recommend this bike.
Just turned 45 and thinking about my first bike - a mutt mongrel!
The first time I rode on a public road, I stalled about 37 times. The thing is that I knew what to do but the experience of being out in the real world and not in a parking lot or side street really puts mental pressure on you.
same here, still stalling 😞
When you learn to drive a stick shift car, it is so much easier to ride a bike.
Perfect run down for a new rider. Hang on and ride safe!
Hey fellow hamster. Im a bit confused in how to enter to win this bike.. it says I've entered to win for free just by sending where I live and then after that I scroll down and it says I have to send a letter in the mail with questions to answer. Im currently in Cambodia and won't be back until February 18th, so I can't send a letter. Is there a way that I can send a reason why I love this bike as my first bike to own? or am I just SOL
HAHAHAHAHAHA! RIDE SAFE!
Always Be Hanging!
Thinking of getting like 600-650cc sportbike for my first
What bike is he riding??
The feeling of the first time is indescribable. it is exhilarating, scary, exciting, joyous, liberating, nervousness all rolled into one.

Brian McDonald killstand engage would be a solid name for a killswitch engage coverband
he had his leg over a turbo busa just moments before this recording, have a sympathy noob
Who else already knows how to ride but just likes watching Yammie's vids?
I know, but knowing and doing are two different things.
I think most of his fanbase is active riders
Guilty
I learned how to ride when I was 13 and it was amazing
Shit i ride the very same bike he is on right now lol. Hopefully getting an R6 within this month. Gotta say, fz07 is pretty strong for a beginner.
I would highly suggest to anyone wanting to get into motorcycling that they take the MSF course. It gives first time riders a chance to practice these basics and more basic maneuvers in the safety of a class setting with a professional instructor. Upon completion of the course you even take the driving portion of the test so all you have to do to get your license, in most states, is take the written test at the DMV. They even give you a discount for motorcycle insurance for completing the safety course.
Seriously you get a bike without any proper training? I had to finish 3 tests before I could get a license. The first was things like doing a 8 making a u turn, emergency stop the second was a theory test and the 3th a road test, before you can even do the road test or the test where they see if you can perform an 8 or u turn it's mandatory to get lessons from a professional instructor.
@@lexroet1215 Depends on the state in the US. I live in California and took the skills test on a closed course as part of an MSF course, then took the written exam and got a license. It's possible to take the written first and get a permit to learn to ride, but it would be harder to pass because the questions involved specifically how to handle your motorcycle in various scenarios. If you've never ridden, the questions don't make sense. Also, my daughter is 18. The first 6 months she had a restricted moto license which does not allow carrying passengers, riding at night or riding on freeways. Everyone under 21 is restricted for a while here. Riding test for me was slow speed cones, swerving, emergency braking, sharp turns, U turns, demonstrating countersteering.
How much of a discount? 10%
I did this since I didn't want to drop my new bike. It helped me a ton and by the time I was done with the course I could ride pretty good and do everything except down shift while Rev matching. Totally worth it if you want to get good at riding on someone else's bike that way you won't risk dropping your own new bike when learning.
I really find the MSF course in US to easy and outdated. To have a good knowledge of how to ride a motorcycle properly in EU they upgraded the course since 2006. I know Belgium's course where I took it cuz I am resident here and France is bit harder in my opinion but if u truly want to know it all the best course is in Japan but it's hard as fuck.
The first time when the bike starts rolling on its own without anyone is just pure magic. You have control over the beast on which you're sitting alone. Becoming one with the bike is nothing short of a miracle. The closest thing to having wings.
Yes! The first time I found my bite-zone, while coupling with throttle & got my feet up...pure awesome 😍 The scariest part is actually putting both feet up for the first time, but once you do - bye!
The first time you'll be doing 40 miles per hour will feel like you're engaging your warp drive.
After a year or two you'll regularly do 80mph in a 40 zone.
Hey Yammie. I wanted to thank you for all of your videos. I've been watching for the past month and they have really helped me I stopped riding in 1998 and will be getting back into it this year. After my safety course of course. Seeing your channel really exhibits how much bikes have changed throughout the years with regards of their power. Just wanted to say thank you.
5:40 It was desinged that way for safety reasons. So you don't accidentally shift into neutral when your downshifting through your gears quickly.
1st gear is designed to only move the bike from a standstill and not for driving. The other gears are meant to be used for operating the bike and to keep the motor in the optimal powerband while changing speeds.
There is one point which I've never heard before in how riding a motorcycle feels. How the speed feels like. I don't know if it's just me, but when I first rode a motorcycle, the feel of speed was pretty overwhelming. I didn't have any problems with driving 60 mph in my first car driving lesson, but just riding 20 or 30 mph on a bike felt so overwhelming in the beginning... And even if I got used to 30 mph, going up to 40, had the same effect again... has anyone experienced something similar?
On my first ride I wanted to twist throttle more and more...
@@jcrosby4804 I just passed my license, like a few days before Christmas and got the license card like 2 weeks ago... I live in Germany, so I was really lucky, that the weather was still good around that time. Now after I got my license, the weather turned magically bad, like immediately after I received the physical license card xD it was either rainy and ~5°C or as it is atm, below 0°C, so it's freezing atm...
I bought an SV650 N '04 like a month before I passed my motorcycle test and it's great :D ridden it about 250km, in the short time I could and I'm really looking forward to warmer weather! Just the feeling of riding on the streets is amazing. I already love driving cars (even though I can only drive a "boring" normal car) and riding a motorcycle is like a million times better, I just love it
Very much so. It was terrifying, liberating and exhilarating all at the same time.
I felt something limilar the first few times I rode a bike. Going 30 in the city in a car I would always be annoyed that people in front were going too slow lol, but going 30 on a bike I felt like I was going too fast.. I think a lot of it has to do with how many new impressions your mind has to take in, along with the wind hitting your body and face as well, there is just a lot to focus on in the beginning. After a while the overwhelming feeling went away completely and now I happily cruise at 100 and the only thing that really catches my attention is the constant stream of wind that is trying to blow me off the bike lol. #nakedbikeproblems
But really, to me the biggest surprise the first time I rode was really how much you feel the wind hitting you, and how exposed you feel. It's so different from riding a car, and on a normal bike or dirt bike you don't get that feeling because you never get up to high speeds. But as with everything else, it's just a matter of getting used to it, then you hardly notice it anymore :)
Same here. When I first rode my Versys 650 at 80kmph, it felt like I was breaking the sound barrier. Terrifying and adrenaline-inducing. Now, 100kmph is a pretty regular speed for me, I don't even feel it. xD
I guess it's mostly related to building up your skill in controlling the bike, so there's no more fear you won't be able to control it at higher speeds. :)
"its springy up until the point its not" -Papa 2019
The ONE thing that scared me on my bike right after I got my license was the 1st handful of times I rode on the highway. The one big flaw with the MSF course is that they don't have you ride at highway speed. I think my class only got up between 30-40 mph. It's a different experience rolling at 60-80 mph.
Now I'll take her up to 100.from time to time just for the fun of it.
Me at 180
0:06 he definitely said həntai hornet
I thought that’s what I heard 🤣
I heard that too
Yeahh, I thought it's just me. Apparently not. Lol
turns out thats the actual name of the bike
Getting a motorcycle myself was pretty much the best thing I ever did. The joy it brings to ride is huge. I especially love the feeling of cornering. Advice for everybody, who would like to start riding, don´t be scared, use your brain and your right hand wisely. :)
One of the best "first time riding" videos I've come across on here. Your voice is very calming and your directions are super clear. I've been riding for a few months now and still like to check these videos out from time to time. It can be scary when you first get out there on one! I feel like this video has helped calm the nerves of many new riders, mine included! Keep doing what you're doing!
Ive been tossing around the idea of getting my license for years now, and I’m finally going to do it! I rode dirt bikes as a kid, but its been years. Post Covid-19 I’m going to take the course and see if this is really a hobby i want to get into, but i think i really do!. I’m considering the Honda CB300R as a first bike maybe the Kawasaki Z400. Something not too crazy or heavy but easy to manage and cheap on insurance. It all depends on how i feel while on it. Super intimidated being a woman getting into this hobby and trying to learn how it all works, entering into a “mans world”. Been researching types of bikes and how to work on them for a year now and Thanks to Yamm I’ve learned a lot on all his videos! Thanks for this in-depth video, it’s appreciated!
I'm 19 and been riding dirt bikes since I was little, can't wait until everything opens up and I can take the MSF so I can finally ride my CBR600, be safe! CBR500 is also a great choice as a first bike!
I would strongly recommend the Kawasaki z300. I got my first bike (kaw z300) just before we (South Africa) went into lockdown for Covid 19. It's a super forgiving bike, not too heavy, not too tall for me. It's cheaper than the full fairing ninja 300 but shares the same engine. Cheaper also than the z400. Also 300cc has cheap insurance and is so very light on petrol. Don't worry about bikes being traditionally more of a man's game... I've been pleasantly surprised at how friendly and accommodating men riders are towards new women riders. Also, there might be more women riders than you've previously realized. Go for a course, get yourself a bike and just go for it!
I'm from the UK and have been also considering it for a while. I'm 19 but thought I'd wait a few more years, but pulling the trigger a lot earlier in September just to get some experience down me. Sadly for the time being I'll be stuck to a 125cc but that's life, have wanted to ride ever since I went on the back of my uncles superbike when I was 14
SAME!!!!! I signed up for July 25/26 course and I want a Honda CRB300r ABS. I feel wicked intimidated but these videos are helping me feel more confident.
This is exactly how I feel. I am totally overthinking everything about motorcycles and how they function! I keep bowing out of taking training because I don't want to do something wrong and just loose respect or something from the guys, or just living with the embarrassment of not doing something correctly. I love Yamm's videos- they make me more comfortable, but I'm one of those people who like to study, or in this case, practice riding a motorcycle before taking the test. Maybe it's just me being intimidated, as you said, "entering into a man's world", but I do hope I can just suck it up sooner rather than later! lol
Dude, you’re awesome. So chill and informative.. I love how much you dive into the details.. thank you.
Having just completed my first road ride just this weekend past. I found the scariest part was obviously traffic, other cars etc. Nothing can really prepare you for that. But it doesn't take that long to grasp and accept that you have every right to use the road, at which point it comes down to just abiding by the road rules. I found my first time going "fast" (80kph/50mph) was quite daunting actually. You don't quite realise the effect wind can have on you and I found myself maybe gripping the bars tighter than I normally was around town. Overall though anyone who's pondering the idea of getting into motorcycles I highly recommend it, it's every bit as exciting and exhilarating as seasoned riders say it is. And this is coming from a complete noob!
This is probably one of the best video I've ever seen about the closeup of motorcycle anatomy. Well done!
Really helped. Except, I've been into bikes for a while now. But I still took 22 minutes 4 second of my life cause this piece of work is from Papa Yam Yam
It was a good introduction for anyone new to riding. It took me back to my first time learning how to ride and using the rear brake and feathering the clutch to get started. Plus the feeling you get the first time you get out on the open road for the first time. It's intimidating but as you get going, the feeling is amazing
In my MSF course, I was taught that you always control your speed with the clutch(and throttle if the bike is less powerful)when moving slowly(under 15mph). Touching the brakes was emphasized as a bad idea when trying to do something like U-turn. I watched a girl lay the bike down 4 times for touching the brakes when moving slowly.
Also, I downshift brake sometimes but I still touch by brake to illuminate the brake light so the car behind me doesn't run me over.
I just started watching your channel 3 months ago and this week I bought my first bike. I can’t wait for it to get delivered. Appreciate it
Really like your more laid back outlook now but still having the Yammie personality. I find myself excited for your videos now for the past few months! Keep up the great work and happy to see you on a bike again doing what you love.
These videos are very helpful. i always wanted to ride a bike and finally took the nerve to sign up for the classes on 04/17-18. I'm super nervous but i know later down the road i'm going to enjoy riding so much. i feel it in my soul!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m working on getting my first bike. You’re very informative, keep up the good work.
I never had the chance to ride one when i was younger growing up pretty broke, at 35 now I'm gonna get my first one now that I got a house and a truck, thanks for the video. I understand the mechanics of it just never done it and I know how to drive a manual (car), this was very informative for me.
I feel like I've learned so much only from watching this video, I really enjoy watching your videos! I am really new to your channel but after watching a few videos I almost feel like a motorcycle expert. Keep up the good stuff 👍
Great video for a beginner! I'm starting out and this really made me feel more confident in starting out! Thanks again for another great video.
I've never seen you so serious
Thank you so much for this video. I’m about to begin my riding journey and this video has answered questions I didn’t even know I had! Thanks Papa Yam 🍠
Watching your videos to build confidence to go for my learners test (here in Australia it's a 2 day $400 course and I make little money) If I get it first try I'll be thankful to your tutorials and other fun video's. love these!
I remember riding my bike the first time, it was the fucking best feeling ever. Watched some vids on what does what, picked up a rental bike 50 KM away at 9:30 pm, rode home on the highway for 30 KM at night. Hell of a first ride, been lovin it since. Did spend about 15 minutes riding backroads scared shitless of how I'm going to get home cause I don't know what I'm doing...
@@wooferjr169 I could have died typing this comment yet here we are...
I bought my first bike without knowing how to ride it. Then i was scared shitless thinking about how am i going to make it home because i have to take a big avenue.
Pressure was my best teacher :^)
You don't need a driver license for a bike?
Just went for a ride today and felt the same thing. Went about 60km out on a country ride and as the afternoon set in was worried about all the cars and trucks in the peak hour traffic.
"As I move this bike forward"
*Goes backwards*
Yes thank for ALL your videos i've just done my CBT in UK .You keep answering all my questions without asking i can't wait to start riding again after 30 odd years
I’m from the Uk, and it’s nice to have first learnt to drive a manual car. Clutch control felt so complicated at first in a car, buts it’s easier now switching to a bike because working the gears is just switching the roles of your left hand and foot.
I’d hate to use a manual gearbox for the first time on a bike when more can go wrong if you mess up.
Been riding since I was 11. Its amazing now I'm almost 30 with 2 decades of experience and I'm still learning new stuff every now and then. Great video for those who wants to join our Club
I've got my rider course (BRC/MSF whatever you want to call it) tomorrow. Im really excited and this video helps so thanks for that.
I love how Mr Yam explains. It's easy to understand especially for beginners like me! Love ya!😆
Great experience and fun video indeed, thank you for taking the time to showing us.
I've been riding for 51 years and I smiled all the way thru this.
The fun never goes away.
Yes it is but it's also extremely exciting and exhilarating. My first ride on the street was awsome and scary at the same time.
Thank you for making this vid, I liked the way you explained everything in detail I'm currently 28 never ridden a motorcycle before but thinking of getting into it. It just seems very cool and therapeutic as a first bike I was thinking of getting the triumph trident 660.
Really love your videos, they are really helping me understand alot more about bikes and just generally everything within the topic of them.
Keep up the work
I never learned how to ride a motorcycle until I was 53, so yes, I can attest that going at any speed was very unnerving, and that was on a Honda Rebel 300. 90 kph felt like light speed and I kept looking for the seat belt to keep me attached to the bike. Advancing to a cb500x this year and am much more comfortable now.
I remember that feeling from when I was learning to drive a car (which I did a few years before I got my motorcycle driving license). 70 kph felt really fast.
New motorcyclist, loving it. Having some trouble downshifting smoothly. I am able to just let out the clutch smoothly and slowly and that works pretty well (engine brakes a little), but I'd love to learn to rev match. Is it just a matter of practice? Can you make a video on it Papa Yam?
Yammie pube my bro! Thanks for this video, ive been watching videos on how to ride or whatever because im a noob but want to get into riding and i didnt understand but now you made it so simple, such a blessing!👌
this video is perfect for a new rider. i skipped ast most of the first part but did notice real quick how calm and simple you explained it all. as a biker and a to-be teacher i gotta say, love the explanation. wish i had this video about 2 years ago when is started riding. will definitely keep this video in mind if anyone wants to know how to start riding
interesting about the braking while moving slow , i figured this out when i was a kid when i wanted to stand still while on my bycicle when i waited for the green light i didnt wanna put my feet on the ground so i would pedal and brake and move very slowly but it was so much easier to keep balance
My favorite CZcamsr giving away my dream bike, hell yeah I’m signing up for that drawing!
Fanny pube, i had my first lesson today and it was on an MT-07. I had some flashbacks to this video and the instructor said exactly the same thing. It really helped me get the hang of it since i saw you do it/explain it on the bike itself a few times. Thank you man
That was a brilliant watch, thank you!!
Yammie can you do a video about turning corners. Counter steering
It’s like riding a bike all over again, once you get used to it you won’t ever look back.
Loving the intro. Awesome vid as usual.
I pussed out for a bit after wiping out on my new (to me) bike in my first year after finishing my course and I'm ready to hit it again this summer on the same beater bike haha.
It’s been a dream of mine since I was 7 to get a motorcycle and Now that I’m old enough I’ve been watching your videos to learn about the different bikes that are good for beginners and this video really helped me learn all the stuff I need to know to start. I appreciate your videos man keep this great content coming 👍👍
When I first got out onto the road, the feeling of being just damn NAKED hit me! It's so crazy because its like holy hell this is nothing like I thought It'd be! Like I'm out here running fast as shit next to cars but my legs ain't moving! 😳😱
Wow, that "stay in first gear while waiting at a red light..." bit was perfectly timed!
Great video, thanks!
I bought my first bike a couple of weeks ago, a Honda CBR 600F -93. It was a bargain at 1400 Euro, great maintenance during the years and still no known faults, and although it's still winter here in Sweden, there's no snow where I live so at six degrees celcius I'm already out practicing low speed maneuvers: like finding the clutch, the rear brake, tight turns at slow paces etc - and hopefully I'll have my license by the end of may. We do have a lot of risk-management courses and rules about drivig here, but at least I'll know I know the basics properly when I'm finally out on the roads all by myself. However, since I live in the glorious day of google and youtube I found your channel, and it's already helped me understand a bunch about what I'm actually doing at practice. Last night I stayed up far too late (like 'til 6am) mainly because I was watching your videos. They really help me stay motivated here in the beginning, and I so much look forward to learning all about the stuff you already know and show in your videos!
Thanks!
I watched a ton of videos on how to ride. You really cleared up some things that I was confused about. Excited to get my first bike.
''Don't know why''......Thats because while downshifting, you come directly from the second gear onto neutral to escape the very revs of the first gear. Downshifting at high speeds will get the rear tyre to slide on the first gear in case the motorcycle was designed 5-4-3-2-1-N
The wind blowing me around kinda got me by the boo boo when I first started riding but you get use to it.
So you get better at managing it?
good job! i'm ready to take my permit test. but after watching this, i'll sooner be ready for the actual riding test. thank you for explaining every step so beautifully. it's greatly appreciated!
Great walk-through. Thanks.
I literally bought my Gixxer having only riding one time maybe 10 years prior and dropping my cousins 636 who was teaching me. they give me my keys to my bike knowing only what I knew from Dudes like Yammie and Cycle Cruza and Ect.. I rode around the parking lot for like an hour shifting 1-3 until I felt somewhat comfortable then I hit the streets for the 10 mins ride home and that 1st time in traffic I felt so EXPOSED and it was indeed TERRIFYING but in a good way. I recently Got my CDL and had been driving 18 wheelers for about 6 months and that was challenging but I get better so I figured a bike would be similar. And it was. I actually wish I could go back to that 1st ride again. I practiced daily in closed neighborhoods to get used to riding .. the real challenge was the Highway almost took me 2 months to hit the freeway in LA. I'm always learning new skills daily and it very therapeutic to ride. My only regret was I wish I had done it sooner
My story is very similar. Just bought a GSXR600 and passed my driving course, but being out on the road was very different than what I'd that it would be so I'll be practicing in neighborhoods to get used to it. I too drive a tractor trailer and that took long as hell to get used too, but I'm going on 3 years driving and I still love it. Be safe man!
Feels like expensive and relationship ruining
When your significant other poses the question if you had to choose her or your bike...do you say something she will use to out your balls in a jar or tell her the truth. I'll keep the one I like riding.
Na bro, the miss has a BMW 650f...just get a girl with a bike...they are the best girls anyhow. :)
Any chick who forces you to choose between her or the bike will do the same thing with anything else. It's not about the bike, it's a shit test and a way to start drama and play the victim. Seriously, walk away because it's never going to end.
a perfect reason to get a bike! :D
@@good4insects Agreed!
Wish you would of covered counter steering but awesome shit man.... You've matured and humbled it's so nice to see.
Thank you so much my brother.
This is what i was looking for.
Am a new rider here.
Keep in mind that lower cc bikes can't creep along just by feathering the clutch without throttle, they'll stall.
Only bikes with a lot of torque can do that (typically 600cc and more), because bikes are pretty heavy these days.
So the engine has to move the mass of the bike with you on it, and that's a lot of weight to move without throttle for a small displacement beginner bike.
it can.
Thanks papa yam, Baby squidlet here about to take his safety course tomorrow! O_o
I’m in the process of getting my p’s Rn (hopefully will have em by early next year :) and as soon as I can I’m going to try get my bike licence and this video has helped so much with things I wasn’t sure with such as starting to move the bike mainly. Legend!

My first time after purchasing my motorcycle, I just drove right out of the house and into town with zero experience..... not even dirt bikes, hahaha. Probably not the wisest thing to do though, if you are new rider I would suggest you trailer your bike or have someone ride your bike to an empty parking lot where you can practice and get to know your bike and it's characteristics before you take it out on the roads.
Thanks for this video! Getting the MT-07 in a few months and I appreciate the learning especially on the bike I want.
A really great real world take on beginning. I wish I'd had something like this to refer back to. No cheesy edits. Just a motorcyclist talking earnestly.
Seriously.. Good job.
Whenever I tell someone how to get to neutral, I explain it as a "half shift"
This reminds me .. I really need to clean my bike.
Love the videos that you do. My son is wanting to ride, and I've shared some of your videos with him.
Love this video. U explain it so good and it’s so easy to understand and learn
I shat my pants through the entirety of first two weeks. I was stressed as hell and was constantly thinking about dropping riding a bike. Then I got a hold of motorcycle dimensions, inertia and controls and it became easier.
What freaks me out (
Hey man thanks for every video......I really enjoy your content...I share every video with everbody on my contacts because I really think you deserve way more subscribers
For all the effort you put into every video....

I’ve never heard anyone call the friction zone, the bite point. Lmao
Hearing him talking through the helmet is making it hard to breathe for some reason

This is hands down the best instructional beginner video i have ever seen. well done!
