- I was talking about how both cagers and motorcycles need to do these things to stay safe on the road when this happened. The irony...

Ride like you are invisible to everyone is the best advice I've ever been given
For hill starts, I got used to using my rear brake to leave my throttle hand to the throttle, and left hand to clutch.
Rear brake is also a major factor in low speed maneuvers such as u-turns
Yea that’s what I do. Hill starts aren’t new to me, just don’t practice them often
@@itsmissy_xo oh, gotcha. Practicing the foot brake in general helped me build the coordination and limb independence for all things related to brakes. My brain still has occasional derp moments though lol
@@mmceorange I came from dirtbike riding where I relied on the rear brake most of the time. It took some time to get used to using the front brake at all
My favorite edit ever is the duck quack for swear words. Every time it's funny. Keep up the videos you are who new riders need to see, not some person flying down the freeway at a buck 20. with no gear.
Haha glad you enjoy it!
When I had a motorcycle and riding gear that made me look like a motorcycle cop, no one EVER pulled out on me, and ALWAYS gave me a lot of space, funny that.
First video of yours that I've seen and around the @11:00 mark you're saying that you're not ready for the interstate and I'm blown away. Your insight into anticipating other drivers, being vigilant and riding on streets where there's cross traffic which I find WAY more dangerous... I'll check back soon to see/hear your commentary on riding where everyone is going the same direction. You'll love it.
I think everyone knew you watched a lot of DanDan long before you told us you did. The second you said "side of car" everyone knew.
Haha! You can definitely tell who watches Dan's videos...
When you are riding a motorcycle be aware that people in cars dont see you. Pretend that you are invisible and nobody see you. You will be alot safer if you do.
Love the colour!
I feel like you just need to feed your bike just a bit more throttle when starting off hill or no hill. As long as your smooth with the clutch and don't just drop the clutch it you won't launch forward.
Thanks! Still working on it.
GoPros are solid,my 10 and 12 have never failed me and setting the color to vibrant looks great with no editing,the new style batteries are awesome to,females are just much smarter riders then most boys,you’ll be great!
I'm excited for my 10 to arrive!
Learning to recognize open lane patterns and a cars blind spot goes along way.Practice slow manuvers and emergency braking at different speeds until its 2nd
nature. We think alike when ridding. I chose my routes based on time of day and traffic.Hate being totally back lit during a setting sun.
Im a truck driver, and i ride a motorcycle, and you would be surprised how much opposite ends of the spectrum have in common. Im alway guessing, correctly, what a person is going to do ither by their head, or their positioning, what did they just do?? I pay attention to the flow of tradfic. Have had a cdl since 97, and got my first bike in 94. You have to anticipate what others are going to do.
Oy yea I have so much sympathy for truck drivers. People just really don't understand common sense...
I only ever had bad experience with GoPros and was starting to not use any cameras at all to document my driving for myself until I saw that RyanF9 uses Insta360s for their filming, and the results where so, so much better.
Worst offender were overheating GoPros which then shut off suddenly. I hated that.
We've had these GoPro Hero 4's for a loooong time and I personally haven't had any issues. I just bought a Hero 10 Black which will be here this week. I also have the Insta360 x3 which I'm loving so far. For future videos I'll likely use both cameras, just in case one corrupts or something happens, I'll have a backup :)
I do that same thing. I scout any new route with my truck first. Mostly I am looking for bad surfaces. My truck can handle going down roads with major potholes, but not so much me and my bike. Also, where I live are a lot of driveways with gravel and knowing that the curves are covered in gravel makes a huge difference.
I like the Forma boots as well. They are really nice. I have the Forma ADV Tourer boots.
I'd much rather scope out a new route than go "F it!" and get myself into a pickle :) Glad to know I'm not alone!
Yes, I got the Women's Forma ADV Tourer boots. I like them a lot so far! Thanks for the comment!
@@itsmissy_xo When this video popped up again. I was reminded of something you said in it that for some reason I didn't type the first time. You should know that if you are a half size, then the boots tend to run about half a size smaller, so if they feel like they need to break in from a foot length point of view, you might just need the next size up. There is very little likelihood that the materials in this boot are going to break-in in your life time.
@@ariesmarsexpress I'm normally a full size in most boots/shoes, even took a tape measure to my foot for accuracy since the boots were over $250 and I didn't want to deal with needing to possibly return them lol. I rode in them yesterday and they didn't bother me at all 😄 New video tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by again 💛
Thank you for sharing your video....Just for safety sake, ALWAYS mirror AND "shoulder check" before going around someone in the same lane. Perhaps you did as you rode into that that turning lane, and I just missed it. I only mention it because you eluded to only having "split" a few times. Sorry if this sounds "mansplainy";)! Unintentional if so! Ride safely on your beautiful bike! Good luck with the new channel!
I appreciate your comment! I did a mirror check but should have definitely done a shoulder check as well. Good call!
it's fun to see how your bike is starting to be more yours... modifying bike can be addictive.
I must be stopped...
Some people tailgate motorcyclists because they see the majority of motorcyclists tailgating a car!
Dan Dan's most used words are Progressive Braking Learn that and you will be fine.. the front brake (a riders best friend IMO) along with the rear brake will do all a rider can to stop and avoid some *Quacking* Mishap.. Great video! see you in the next one.👍👍
If you slow the video down enough you can see me reach for my front brake the second I saw that car’s tires begin to move lol people are just so predictable
Well spoken.
Some very wise words. I believe that we either have the sixth sense about cagers or we are dead. I look at cagers eyes and that tells me straight away if I have been seen. Lots of time I will simply roll of the throttle at junctions as you said during this ride.
Thank you!
Many of us that ride are also “cagers”. It’s NOT us versus them. Very few MC purists in the US. So always be asking yourself, “Do I drive like that when I’m in my car?” “Have I made THAT same mistake once?” Or “Where would my eyes be looking?” in the same situation, but behind the wheel. Do you tend to use the same habits when riding as you would when driving? That’s when rider telepathy really starts to develop, and the near-misses go down in frequency. The more quickly a rider can adopt the mentality of being absolutely present and aware of the situation of the road around them, the longer they’ll survive.
I just started lane splitting but only now that I have a DCT. Toud def showed the 500 has the power to zip off once u got in front on some one. Gonna try it on my 500 next. 😊
I went from gopro to dji 4 and never looked back... It's ironic because it's cheaper than gopros but it's better quality
The hero 4 looks fine
A lot of cagers will not do a thing to help...they either don't see you or see you but don't give a rip. You learn how to protect yourself very well as youn ride more.
I have a bright yellow bike also and it doesn't matter. I just pretend I'm invisible.
evidenced by the silly goose that pulled out in front of me shortly after saying that 😂😅
@@itsmissy_xo Exactly!
I rely on my back break a lot more than my front. Learning to get comfortable with the back break helps on hills bc u have to give power and release the break at the same time. I’m 5’5” and as long I have it slightly leaned I have been able to keep it from stalling and falling😂.
I'm 5' so a little bit shorter lol. I rely on the back brake for hill starts only, and mostly use my front brake (and some back) for most braking on flat areas. The front brake has more braking power so its good to have a healthy relationship with it.
I came from dirtbike riding where I relied a LOT more on the back brake. It was hard for me to rely on the front brake at all when I first started riding on the street, my MSF instructor knew immediately I learned how to ride on a dirtbike because of how much I was using my back brake more than my front lol.
Today I went on my 1st XSR700 ride... on the first bump my phone almost slipped of new holder... went into panic mode, tried to turn into side street and instead of blinker I pushed horn and fucking scared myself shitless \(￣︶￣*\))
OMG haha I haven’t pushed my horn accidentally YET but it’s bound to happen eventually 😅
I've been riding for 20 years and I still accidentally hit the horn sometimes. LOL
Defensive Riding is a proven method if you wanna live to tell the tales... lol, most incidences I see on video are avoidable
and speed is normally involved as well. I see lots of riders who try to fight to hold a lane against other vehicles but to my
way of thinking ..... Umm, you may be right but being "Dead Right" is no way to live !? Let people in/out & know that folks
can not see you. Even if they did see you, by the time they look the other way & start to ""BAM"" > you are at their car so
they may see you but do not understand the sheer acceleration that your bike has. Your bike isn't as fast but still most
crashes could have been prevented by the rider = you are the only one who can save your arse ~ be safe/wise, peace
