    That entire ride was scary, he didn't stop at stop signs and he didn't look both ways before pulling out; you could feel something was gonna happen. Dude has courage and is not afraid to ride a big bike but he needs a lot of training so he will not get hurt or killed.

    If I may suggest, find a large parking lot, like a shopping plaza that is closed on Sunday or even an abandoned one, then work on your throttle and brake combination. Learn to turn with the clutch in the "friction zone" not fully engaged and use slight pressure on the rear brake to hold the power. When you master slow turns, the rest follows naturally. Practice is the key. Even at 70 whenever I get a new (to me) ride I practice until I know the bike. I'm 5' 7" and ride a 94 GoldWing so yeah I had to practice! :-)

      Most folks don't realize motorcycles have a, " wet clutch". That is to say, the engine oil is designed to lubricate the clutch pack (multi-disc clutch pack). So, you can use part clutch like part throttle or braking. Makes low-speed maneuvers way easier!

I’m sure he has issues driving a car too. I don’t understand the not being able to stop at stop signs. The day he thinks he’s gotten better he’s going to have an accident. I pray he doesn’t. It’s like watching a person play a new sport that they will never be good at no matter how much they practice.

    At least he didn’t hurt himself. Good friends giving him positive feedback. I started with an Indian Scout so I could get very comfortable with a bike and manipulating the weight. I have a couple years with it and soon I’ll get a slightly bigger bike. I will say starting with a smaller bike really made it easier and less scary when I took my friends Road Glide around the corner. I wouldn’t have been competent with using the friction zone and confident enough in my ability if I didn’t have time with a smaller bike first, for sure.
    Hopefully this guy got his mess up out of the way and he’s good for years of safe riding.

If you're afraid to put your feet down, you should practice in an empty parking lot or some other isolated spot. You don't want to get mid-turn in a busy intersection only to figure out that you didn't turn correctly and either dump the bike or hit a vehicle waiting at the light.... But, keep going!

    Good on him for not getting discouraged and keeping a good attitude about it. And good on the other guy for the positive encouragement without judging him. Most everyone has dropped or tipped a bike sometime in their life. whether they’ll admit it or not, they have. Just like you did in the video…you just pick it back up and keep moving on. Take that same attitude and apply it towards everything else in life. Riding motorbikes is a massive life lesson in many different aspects

      Yes true. But Like me most of us learned on much smaller bikes, or dirt bikes. Mine was a 185 Suzuki, and mistakes were a learning experience NOT life or death.

      @@jtmemphismoney Sorry to say it but you can tell he bought this harley for the same reason fellas buy pimped SUVs when they don't even have kids. It's an image thing; looking cool and flashy on a slick vehicle that everyone knows is expensive. If he really wanted to get into proper riding culture he would have started on a smaller bike. But that wouldn't look "cool" or impress women (protip to newbies: Women in general are not impressed by motorcycles - most of the attention you are grabbing is from old men who like roadglides/goldwings or young guys who are jealous because they have the same misconception as you that bigger bike = cooler/sexy).

Ta hell with the guy behind me , I'm the one on the bike. Then on takeoff I use the clutch only for 1st gear , after first, I just let off the gas n shift each time. Good job bro. Just keep doing exactly what you did and you'll get great at it. God bless.

    One of the worst things you can be while on a bike is scared. Obviously practicing is gonna help but if being on a bike is nothing but scary to you, especially on a bike your not used to riding it’s gonna be extremely difficult to control it and keep it together. I’d rather drop my bike in a driveway like he did instead of being traffic. There’s always something learn on while riding whether you’ve been riding for 2 weeks or 20 years. He didn’t freak out while riding that like I’ve seen other people do.

    Go to a ride rite course or a motorcycle safety course. Lots of parking lot practice. That Road Glide is a heavy bike man. You have to become professional at low speed maneuvering. That’s the best way to keep it from flopping over. Good luck fellas. Ride safe. Nothing crazy. Stay vigilant.

    He never stopped for one stop sign. If that was my first time, I would be stopping at every stop sign and even in middle of the block to see how it handles and stops.
    Even when he tried to turn into his drive, he couldn't stop, he had no control. IF he's lucky, and that's a big "IF", this will be his worse drop, but somehow I doubt it.

It's been a year now and every time I ride I use information and technique I learned from that course. Motorcycle riding is all about technique, I rode today and had 3 errors of not ideal technique. Tomorrows ride will be all about finding a place and practicing riding technique.

I dropped it twice standing still that first year now I’m on year three and I can turn my streetglide around in one parking space while dragging the tailpipe at incredibly slow speeds, and not feel the least bit scared or uncomfortable. Your attitude was positive. I’m certain you’ll get it and I’d love to see an update!

    You can tell he’s not use to the friction zone at slow speeds that’s why he didn’t want to stop at stop signs , he needs to go to a open parking lot and practice taking off smoothly and stoping and slow speed turns till he gets use to it, hopefully he didn’t get intimidated after that drop, he probably felt embarrassed but if he keeps practicing he’ll get it.
