Lol. Amen to that. I had a lot of dirt bike experience from riding as a kid so I was lucky that it didn't happen to me much when I got to riding on the street. It did occasionally happen though because it's nerve wrecking to ride in traffic for the first few weeks as a new rider. You get nervous, you stall, you curse and get embarrassed haha.
Shit, I still do sometimes because sometimes my dumbass be forgetting to downshift all the way and tries to take off in like 4th gear lol. Hell, my dad has been riding since he was 16, hes almost 50 and I witnessed him stall lol. It happens to the best of us. I used to panic when it happened now luckily it doesn't happen that often but when it does im just like oops lol
@@mikakoivisto6504 I think the word your looking for is “forget” and it doesn’t happen often sometimes my mind just wanders and I forget to preform basic functions lol

@@jasonliblick9879 i wish i was allowed to ride bikes but yeah): I am actually about to ride dirt bikes for the first time this thursday, im quite exicted i cant even lie.
I remember my first bike. I family was so pist. I was told I could not leave my bike in their garage or near their home because they would not co-sign on my death. You’re very lucky to have a supportive family.
The first time i rode a bike,Dad told me -"Here's the clutch,Front and rear brake,go slow on the throttle and only shift gears by feeling". That was it and i rode that cb650 on 1-2 gear all the way😂😂.
@@notfari The best bike is what's available at hand. The only issue for me was getting used to the weight and balance of the bike so a bike that's a bit on the lighter side feels like a good one to begin with. But depending on the place you're riding/speed limits a higher cc bike is good too.
welcome to bike life gang.. i remember the day i rode my first bike home... 2007 fz1 fazer... i stalled 6 times at a light with a big ass group of bikers behind me... one went in front of me and gestured to pull over and then one of them got off the bike and actually adjusted my clutch for me and gave me a few tips and it made a huge difference... despite whatever u may read showing ur journey into bike life everyone has been you.. always go at your own pace, take it slow and pay attention and youll be gucci... welcome gangggggg
I remember learning how to ride a motorcycle (manual) it took me time to learn cuz of the idea of clutch. I would always do a wheelie on first gear. How I learn is you need to press cylinder like (idle) it then slowly let go of the clutch. Once I learn that I would always fucking go (EeeeeEeeeeEeee) every gear and I was driving a 2stroke Yamaha it was so much fun 😂
I passed my msf last month. Looking at getting an apartment with a garage before I get a motorcycle, but I'm looking forward to my first ride as well :D
I started on a brand new R3 too in 2017. Absolutely loved that bike, great bike to learn on. Eventually you’ll be popping wheelies and almost dropping knees. Currently on a 650 and I still miss the R3.
When I first started riding, I thought I would need to get rid of my bike because I had stalled a lot. It is par for the course; it comes quickly and easily. I am glad I didn't get rid of my bike; I love that thing.
Man ill tell you what, siting behind a screen thinking you can ride these things is easy and all but when you get out there and ride a motorcycle or in my case a manual car, it humbles you real quick. Its like the most humbling activity anyone can do.
yeah, just got my car license, im getting on a motorcycle for the first time in about a month, im excited yet terrified. of course im doing it with an instructor so i should be ok, but certainly a humbling activity learning how to drive a new vehicle
@@Markos4344when you first get on a bike it’s definitely nerve wracking at first but once you get past that. You realize how addicted you will become to riding
Driving my first stick-shift, A BMW 320i was most certainly that, humbling. Especially stalling out in the middle of an intersection in Brooklyn and not being able to find neutral to get it started again.
in my country most of the cars are manual so its the same as just learning how to drive. Therefore i found driving a manual car easy. However trying to ride a motorcycle was much harder than driving a car
One thing I could recommend to new riders to keep from stalling is to hold the gas open to like 10% and then just really slowly ease off the clutch. It doesn't matter if you ride the clutch on a bike like you have to worry about it in a car. Cars have dry clutches, bike clutches spin around in oil. It honestly doesn't get hot and burn up like that. Just ride the hell out of the clutch until you get the timing and feel of everything down.
Smart observation! Most people don't realize how easy it is to change the clutch pack on certain motorcycles as well. The Ninja 400 takes less than 30 minutes.
I'm 17 and thinking of getting a bike next year. Watching someone new ride a motorcycle really shows that it's not as easy as everyone makes it seem. Seeing videos like this really helps to understand what to do and when. I mean, I haven't even started with my license but I'm already pretty well educated on how to ride a motorcycle.
bro dont worry you get the hang of it in the first week of riding. My dad got me a yz250f when i was 13 :D its a dirtbike but its the same basic concept just like for street bikes but its way easier then it seems. been riding for 5 years now and gotta tell you man best years of my life. And trust me stalling the bike aint even that big of a problem, finding the nuetral is :DDD
I am 18 and my parents made it very clear that if I get a motorcycle they will not support me in any way financially from that point on :( id have to move out and they wouldn't pay for school anymore

Forks might be bent, not that the, "handlebars are off" - But that's probably not a big deal. If he's lucky it's just a matter of loosening and re-tightening the triples.
Also an R3 rider, 2017, been riding for nearly 8 months now. It's definitely not easy at the start, although I'm from AUS and we don't have an MSF course and instead 1 on 1 training on the roads doing several hours, as well as needing to wait 6 months to do a hazard perception test. Even so, I still stalled once during my test ride when buying my bike, as well as on my way home after buying it.
Thanks for posting this video. It gives me confidence knowing someone out there is going through the same things I am when I’m riding and that with practice it will eventually get better and better.
Your motorcycle video popped up in my recommendations today, and I couldn't help but click. It was like watching a buddy go through the same nerves and excitement I'm feeling as a newbie rider. Tomorrow's my second shot at the driver's test, and your honesty and clear advice have really pumped me up! Thanks for keeping it real and inspiring us all!!
when I road a Harley I kept putting it in neutral instead of 2nd. I have years of manual driving experience but there is always something to learn. I can't wait to buy my 1st bike
This was so great to watch! My best advice to you is to always move your head and look/focus on where you want to go. This makes turning/cornering SO MUCH EASIER. Don’t ever fixate and focus on the side of the road or on objects you’re trying to avoid, because you will tend naturally towards them. 7:03 my favorite moment. Made me remember how that felt for the first time 🥲. And that right there is the start of a lifetime hobby haha. Welcome to the bike life, bro.
It’s actually shocking to see a beginner on a beginner bike. Usually people always go for big and fast bikes with no experience like how my friends are lmao😂
This brings back so many memory's first time riding a geared on the mains, trying not to hold the traffic up made me stall so many times i was focused more on them then me, Also the embarrassing moment i could not figure out why i was stalling from a stop on a hill had to let the Que behind me pass once they did i tried again to realize i was in 2nd gear.
Literally me rn. I’m 24, just passed my motorcycle safety course, and recently got a used motorcycle. My dad and I were riding through my neighborhood for practice and I literally stalled at every other stop at an intersection. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating at first, but damn I can’t wait to try again and get better. Kudos to you man for riding on public roads. Stay safe!
@@djidjo2424 funnily enough, the day after my first time on the bike, my parents and I took it in for a tuneup. Hopped back on a few weeks later and only stalled once! The clutch turned out to be a bit sticky and the throttle cable needed to be replaced as it was too short. Now, I’m doing morning rides with my dad on weekends to get more familiar on the freeway. So far so good!
@@Streek2202 dude thats awesome, I got my license in march and I've like just started riding to school every day. The stalls are definitely more embarrassing with a highschool audience but I love the practice
After I did my BRC I decided to go test drive a Yamaha v-star. Turns out the little dirt bike I trained on and a big block cruiser handle very different. I stalled it 3 times just leaving the parking lot and couldn't turn the thing. I didn't even finish I was so embarrassed. Get a light bike for your first one is my advice for people wanting to start. Scooter/sports bike/dual sport. Cruisers and touring are also very tiring to ride. Some other advice. 1. It's considered rude not to "biker wave" at others. Doesn't matter what they're riding, even mopeds and electrics. 2. Don't be afraid to rev that engine when starting from a stop. My instructor full throttled his bike while only using clutch to take off from a stop and it was smooth. Clutch is your control, engine is just the energy to power the bike. 3. Don't be afraid to lean. You'll scratch the foot pegs against the ground before your wheels will slip. Trust your tires, they are engineered for traction. 4. BMW drivers still don't use their turn signals. 5. Some restaurants won't serve motorcycles through the drive thru.
The more I look at these kind of videos the more I'm glad I'm in Quebec Canada! I'm doing the "MSF" equivalent but here it's one month. 4 4h courses in closed circuit and then 4 2h courses on the road before we take an exam at the SAAQ (DMV equivalent) I'm at course 3 of the first batch and yeah we all look like that but yeah I have another 5 supervised training to get comfortable before riding on the street!
Okay… but your dad is like the MOSTTTTT supportive and patient dad ever! He’s got so much love and investment in you, just looking out for you while you’re on the road! First time riding like that, especially in traffic is soooo nerve racking and you did really good considering all of the “distractions” brother! Keep it up and it’ll become so much easier, rider to rider! Safe riding & much love!
Im glad riding came so naturally to me, i rode dirt bikes when i was younger but a few years passed before i got my first bike and it was very natural for me. Goodluck on your journey man itll catch on fast, be smart and this will become one of your favorite things ever
I started on an R6.. Thankfully when I went to buy it I had a friend who has been riding come with me to bring it to his shop. From there I kept it there and practiced doing figure 8s in his shops lot for about a month. Boy does this video bring back memories haha. I hope you're a lot more comfortable on the bike and having the time of your life. Enjoy the ride!
Honestly really happy to see you went with a R3 as your first bike, Too many people jump right into a R6 / R1 and get hurt or worse. Major respect to you for being responsible, Hope i see a video in my feed sometime of you being comfortable on one of the faster bikes. For now be safe and just enjoy it. Also, Never forget to dress for the slide not the ride.
literally just went thru this same experience yesterday. Just bought a 2024 Yamaha r3 0 miles!!! I had to ride home for 46 mins without a license last night. good thing my friend was trailing me so no cops could come behind me XD
I'm not sure what your state law is, but generally, if you're buying a bike and riding it home straight from the dealership then you can't get in trouble for that. Because dealerships, at least in my state can sell you a motorcycle and you don't even need your endorsement on your license. It's after you've taken it home, where you definitely need to have the proper license to ride.
@@MishimaBloodl1n3bro but you have to use brake before turning reach the speed at which you will turn I dont think you're supposed to use brakes while turning
Loved this video so much…reminds me of the first time I took my bike out to work. Bought the bike 5 days prior, having never ridden one before…couple circles in the cul de sac, and off to the races…God mustv been with me, looking back I dont know how I didnt get into an accident. Thanks Jesus😅
No sé cómo vayas con el aprendizaje, pero recuerdo cuando me pasaba lo mismo en mi moto y eso que era una moto más pequeña , eso sí en menos de un mes ya me sentía todo un pro..
It is incomprehensible to me that people in the USA are simply allowed to drive on public roads without having received several hours of detailed training on how to properly corner, swerve, emergency brake, etc.
@@nathanwho1384 In Spain, when you have no previous driving license you have to take 2 written tests, then a skill test on a closed area, then a driving test on open roads; if you have a car license, you still have to do everything but the first test lmao. Guess that the reason why we don't crash that often.
Awesome video buddy. Your doing a great job. pace your self and always look around you and look where you wanna go and you will be just fine you got a great dad there to teach you. congrats on the new bike. be safe ride safe.
Omg! This video fills my heart with joy! At 7:03 when he says that... I'm proud of you! Welcome to the club! Just be careful, understand that you are starting and don't drive faster than your skills! I admire your courage to post your first ride on CZcams! Subscribed! Looking forward to the next videos!
Bro! nice job! and you have a great dad either! The feeling on your first ride is one unique moment! you'll never get another one like that! learn with it and embrace it. Keep it up!
All about that clutch work, man. Good job. Can't tell you how embarrassing it was for me when I got my first bike. The amount of times I stalled, lmao.
"This is awesome" 😄 Props for going out onto the main road for your first ride! I don't give out advice when nobody asked for it but I will echo what a couple of other people on here have mentioned because it's a super important skill; maybe not necessarily on a small twin because of the low-rev friendly torque (that sounds like a twin anyway), but if you ever go up to a bigger 4 banger, using / mastering the clutch is an absolute God send. The torque of that bike helped you in the U-turn at the beginning of the video but it's well worth practising turns like that purely by holding a tiny bit of throttle open and riding the clutch, using that clutch lever to add or subtract the power to the back wheel. Brilliant method for tight corners in town. Anyway, enjoy!
Respect bro you did well. I plan on taking a course & buying my first bike soon in the coming months. Not everyone started as a pro. Practice makes perfect 👌🏾
r3 is a good starter bike. I started on mt03 back in october... still riding it and still learning. it's a lot of fun, and the bike is pretty quick for a 321cc... especially once you get it past 6-7k rpm. enjoy and stay safe! Every once in awhile I'll still stall out my bike if I let myself get rushed at lights when they turn green.
@Hasan-wu6qh I'm 6 foot 2 as well, around 225ibs and have an mt03, I fit on the bike just fine, if I were a little bit taller (this includes the height with my boots) I wouldn't be able to fit on it. So you're good to fit with racing boots if you want one. Just go sit on one first and most places will let you try on gear and sit on the bikes. Hope this helped and let me know if you have any questions at all.
@Hasan-wu6qh good thing is the gas tank isn't that big, so by the time I start to cramp up I'm stretching my legs getting gas, and after that I'm good to go for awhile.
painful watch hahaha but aye we all start somewhere bro, enjoy riding and be safe. im 16 and have had my mt07 for 4-5 months and i got used to it very quick. i dont even remember the last time i stalled hahaha
My GSXR 125 is being delivered this Saturday, pretty excited but also nervous. I've done my mandatory training and passed so now gonna start my journey with the 125cc and build up confidence. I remember stalling at least twice during my training with a few cars behind me, I assure you it felt soo embarrassing even though I had BIGASS L plates on the bikes to indicate I was a learner. Even with the helmet on, I could feel the stares of annoyance piercing through 🤣🤣🤣. O well, we might as well start somewhere. I'm looking forward to going on a nice outback trip. I'm very excited to be fair.
I’m just glad to see him on an actual beginner bike, smart choice! All you need is a couple of bolt on frame sliders, never let your ego override that throttle and you’ll be fine. Ride safe bro!
man, mad respect for you uploading this we have all been there at one time before. Most people will only upload videos once they know how to ride so mad respect for you to show the reality of how it all started.
i just started riding 4 weeks ago at 21 it takes a while but i use my bike to get to work most days so using it everyday really help you get used to your bike and the feel for things
As a 3 year motorcyclist here in Australia I think you did really really well for a first road ride. The laws are more restricting here specifically to teach learners how to ride safely. Its great youve gone for an r3 for your first ride too. I had an MT-03 and since owning multiple bikes after it, it was easily the most reliable
I love this video so much. I took home my first bike, my new mt03, in October and have been loving it. This reminds me of that baby penguin feeling I had when I was first getting used to riding haha. One thing though, it does look like your handlebar alignment is a bit crooked. This could be for a couple different reasons, but it could also happen when the bike has been dropped before. Personally I'd recommend taking her to a mechanic just to be sure she's alright. Your first bike is not something you want to deal with mechanical issues on lol.
We all start somewhere. I just started riding (in my 30s) and have found it very easy to get used to. I think experience driving manual transmission cars has helped TREMENDOUSLY. Some would disagree but i find the skills transfer over. They have for me anyways. If this kid doesn't know how to drive a manual then he deserves even more slack. It's not easy going in blind like that. Hats off to him for having the courage to go for it. Ride safely man!
I have been riding since 9. havent drove a bike more than 150cc always been my dream riding/owning a 2-4 cylinder bike(no matter the displacement). i am 15 now and somewhat still happy with my honda cg125. Did some speed runs and it tops only about 130kmph or 75mphish.
Bro, this was some of the dodgiest shifting I have ever seen and I hope that I am half as good as you! I'm 34 and just got my first bike and I'm excited and terrified at the same time! You did so good man and I can't wait to see you get better ❤
Brings back memories. I bet you got it now. I started at 14 and I'm 72 now. I bought a Ninja 400 and stalled it first time pulling out of dealers lot 😂
This video made me glad i didnt have to learn to ride in multi lane traffic. Keep it up bro it gets easier with time and practice and invest in some good gear to keep you safe
hey bro i just dropped my first video riding around too. but on an r6. all those emotions you felt i did too. shaky scary and crazy. congrats on not dropping it like i did tho. gonna subscribe so we can learn together
Biggest tell of a new rider: squeezi g the grips like their life depends in it, and using all 4 fingers on the levers. Loosen up a little, and get used to using 2 fingets for the levers and keeping 2 on the bars. Its much safer since you still have a hold of the bars, and you're less likely to grab a handful of front brake and it's easier to feather the clutch.
Ride it like a sportsbike and you'll be fine. Remember to get up those gears. 4th for cruising. Get into 2nd asap And don't coast with the clutch in or stare at your dash or waddle with your feet
@@Eyessacckyou did a great job getting a feel for it prior to getting on a street. Your nerves got the best of you. Cool thing is, it’s like riding a bike lol. With time, you’ll get better and better. Some riders don’t even get in to traffic at first so you ripped that band aid off man.
I definitely dont miss the embarrassment of stalling out at intersections lol

I was looking for this comment. So it’s not just me lol. That’s scary
Forks might be bent, not that the, "handlebars are off" - But that's probably not a big deal. If he's lucky it's just a matter of loosening and re-tightening the triples.
might've been dropped who knows
Also an R3 rider, 2017, been riding for nearly 8 months now. It's definitely not easy at the start, although I'm from AUS and we don't have an MSF course and instead 1 on 1 training on the roads doing several hours, as well as needing to wait 6 months to do a hazard perception test. Even so, I still stalled once during my test ride when buying my bike, as well as on my way home after buying it.
Don't STOP bro , keep going and try Learning to Ride at some PARKING Station somewhere . Support from EUROPE / Austria !! 🤙
Thanks for posting this video. It gives me confidence knowing someone out there is going through the same things I am when I’m riding and that with practice it will eventually get better and better.
Your motorcycle video popped up in my recommendations today, and I couldn't help but click. It was like watching a buddy go through the same nerves and excitement I'm feeling as a newbie rider. Tomorrow's my second shot at the driver's test, and your honesty and clear advice have really pumped me up! Thanks for keeping it real and inspiring us all!!
when I road a Harley I kept putting it in neutral instead of 2nd. I have years of manual driving experience but there is always something to learn. I can't wait to buy my 1st bike
I’m also hoping to start on an r3, and it’s rlly reassuring to see someone else who’s learning. Thank u for posting your journey 💕
This was so great to watch! My best advice to you is to always move your head and look/focus on where you want to go. This makes turning/cornering SO MUCH EASIER. Don’t ever fixate and focus on the side of the road or on objects you’re trying to avoid, because you will tend naturally towards them.
7:03 my favorite moment. Made me remember how that felt for the first time 🥲. And that right there is the start of a lifetime hobby haha. Welcome to the bike life, bro.
“This is so amazing!” That’s the best!
I can tell you were generally happy there that’s awesome brotha
This took me back man. I wish you the best, and you have a great dad.
i just bought my first bike last month too, havent ridden yet, cant wait to stall out too >:)
my dream bike in my fav colour
Beginner bike ❤ always love this version of R3
The moment its just all normal and you can fully enjoy the ride is the best feeling man.
It’s actually shocking to see a beginner on a beginner bike. Usually people always go for big and fast bikes with no experience like how my friends are lmao😂
This brings back so many memory's first time riding a geared on the mains, trying not to hold the traffic up made me stall so many times i was focused more on them then me, Also the embarrassing moment i could not figure out why i was stalling from a stop on a hill had to let the Que behind me pass once they did i tried again to realize i was in 2nd gear.
Literally me rn. I’m 24, just passed my motorcycle safety course, and recently got a used motorcycle. My dad and I were riding through my neighborhood for practice and I literally stalled at every other stop at an intersection. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating at first, but damn I can’t wait to try again and get better.
Kudos to you man for riding on public roads. Stay safe!
How is the procces going mate? :D
@@djidjo2424 funnily enough, the day after my first time on the bike, my parents and I took it in for a tuneup. Hopped back on a few weeks later and only stalled once! The clutch turned out to be a bit sticky and the throttle cable needed to be replaced as it was too short.
Now, I’m doing morning rides with my dad on weekends to get more familiar on the freeway. So far so good!
@@Streek2202 dude thats awesome, I got my license in march and I've like just started riding to school every day. The stalls are definitely more embarrassing with a highschool audience but I love the practice
Great job Sir. Riding in traffic first time out…ouch. Ya did great…keep working on the skills and ride safe 👍😎
After I did my BRC I decided to go test drive a Yamaha v-star. Turns out the little dirt bike I trained on and a big block cruiser handle very different. I stalled it 3 times just leaving the parking lot and couldn't turn the thing. I didn't even finish I was so embarrassed. Get a light bike for your first one is my advice for people wanting to start. Scooter/sports bike/dual sport. Cruisers and touring are also very tiring to ride.
Some other advice.
1. It's considered rude not to "biker wave" at others. Doesn't matter what they're riding, even mopeds and electrics.
2. Don't be afraid to rev that engine when starting from a stop. My instructor full throttled his bike while only using clutch to take off from a stop and it was smooth. Clutch is your control, engine is just the energy to power the bike.
3. Don't be afraid to lean. You'll scratch the foot pegs against the ground before your wheels will slip. Trust your tires, they are engineered for traction.
4. BMW drivers still don't use their turn signals.
5. Some restaurants won't serve motorcycles through the drive thru.
The more I look at these kind of videos the more I'm glad I'm in Quebec Canada! I'm doing the "MSF" equivalent but here it's one month. 4 4h courses in closed circuit and then 4 2h courses on the road before we take an exam at the SAAQ (DMV equivalent) I'm at course 3 of the first batch and yeah we all look like that but yeah I have another 5 supervised training to get comfortable before riding on the street!
Okay… but your dad is like the MOSTTTTT supportive and patient dad ever! He’s got so much love and investment in you, just looking out for you while you’re on the road!
First time riding like that, especially in traffic is soooo nerve racking and you did really good considering all of the “distractions” brother! Keep it up and it’ll become so much easier, rider to rider! Safe riding & much love!
Im glad riding came so naturally to me, i rode dirt bikes when i was younger but a few years passed before i got my first bike and it was very natural for me. Goodluck on your journey man itll catch on fast, be smart and this will become one of your favorite things ever
i learned to ride with gears on a "gearmoped"
imagine having to change gear 4 times just go to max 40 kmh
yeah i learned the clutch pretty quickly
The visor slap down and then the immediate fumbling to flip it back up was funny, relatable!
I started on an R6.. Thankfully when I went to buy it I had a friend who has been riding come with me to bring it to his shop. From there I kept it there and practiced doing figure 8s in his shops lot for about a month. Boy does this video bring back memories haha. I hope you're a lot more comfortable on the bike and having the time of your life. Enjoy the ride!
Honestly really happy to see you went with a R3 as your first bike, Too many people jump right into a R6 / R1 and get hurt or worse. Major respect to you for being responsible, Hope i see a video in my feed sometime of you being comfortable on one of the faster bikes. For now be safe and just enjoy it. Also, Never forget to dress for the slide not the ride.
He might die on any other bike
Love this, sick bike man 💪🏽🔥 i had to learn by my self 😢😂
i fucking love this video, it brings me back man.
literally just went thru this same experience yesterday. Just bought a 2024 Yamaha r3 0 miles!!! I had to ride home for 46 mins without a license last night. good thing my friend was trailing me so no cops could come behind me XD
Yup lmao! Still waiting for mine to come in from the dmv because the stupid under 21 rule
Just bought 2024 r3 today totally didn’t stall it 50 times lol
I'm not sure what your state law is, but generally, if you're buying a bike and riding it home straight from the dealership then you can't get in trouble for that. Because dealerships, at least in my state can sell you a motorcycle and you don't even need your endorsement on your license. It's after you've taken it home, where you definitely need to have the proper license to ride.
@@jaxnasman1407 congrats ride safe🤙
@@vielumiereg9794 that sounds insane to me, coming from Germany
Clutch and rear brake are your best friends at slow speeds, use them
Meh. Stick with the clutch and front brake.
Just don’t use front brake during turns. That’s rear brake or 50/50.
@@MishimaBloodl1n3clutch and break taps i wouldnt use much brake in any turn
@@xitsAndrew3388 Dont spread this lol. learn to trail brake
@@MishimaBloodl1n3bro but you have to use brake before turning reach the speed at which you will turn
I dont think you're supposed to use brakes while turning
Loved this video so much…reminds me of the first time I took my bike out to work. Bought the bike 5 days prior, having never ridden one before…couple circles in the cul de sac, and off to the races…God mustv been with me, looking back I dont know how I didnt get into an accident. Thanks Jesus😅
No sé cómo vayas con el aprendizaje, pero recuerdo cuando me pasaba lo mismo en mi moto y eso que era una moto más pequeña , eso sí en menos de un mes ya me sentía todo un pro..
It is incomprehensible to me that people in the USA are simply allowed to drive on public roads without having received several hours of detailed training on how to properly corner, swerve, emergency brake, etc.
@___-tx6nl I honestly agree to disagree with that statement. I think you should start out on a closed parking lot with nothing around.
In my state we are required to take a 25 hour driving course along with a written test to get your moto license.
@@nathanwho1384 In Spain, when you have no previous driving license you have to take 2 written tests, then a skill test on a closed area, then a driving test on open roads; if you have a car license, you still have to do everything but the first test lmao. Guess that the reason why we don't crash that often.
Did he not say he took the msf course in the beginning of the video?
Im happy that you overcame something many people are scared of i also subscribed
🖤🤙
@@EyessacckBro what is your educational qualification and are you currently doing , I am INDIAN 🇮🇳 Subscriber .
My fisrt time riding a bike was a few months ago, I'm 23 now, it was under very stresfull circunstances, never the less was an amazing experience.
1:30 that was definitely a reminder I needed for my current situation, it's a simple thing but thank you
Awesome video buddy. Your doing a great job. pace your self and always look around you and look where you wanna go and you will be just fine you got a great dad there to teach you. congrats on the new bike. be safe ride safe.
Omg! This video fills my heart with joy! At 7:03 when he says that... I'm proud of you! Welcome to the club!
Just be careful, understand that you are starting and don't drive faster than your skills!
I admire your courage to post your first ride on CZcams!
Subscribed! Looking forward to the next videos!
Yup I appreciate it! New video posted🖤🤙ride safe
this is great video thanks for sharing i remember my first time
i was 36 when i learned to ride and I remember this like it was yesterday, what a great time.
Bro! nice job! and you have a great dad either!
The feeling on your first ride is one unique moment! you'll never get another one like that! learn with it and embrace it.
Keep it up!
Agree🙏
Your vlog made me remembering 2019 era before.
Una vez conoces como usar el embargue y como no tener tanto freno motor ya está 👌🏻
All about that clutch work, man. Good job.
Can't tell you how embarrassing it was for me when I got my first bike. The amount of times I stalled, lmao.
"This is awesome" 😄 Props for going out onto the main road for your first ride! I don't give out advice when nobody asked for it but I will echo what a couple of other people on here have mentioned because it's a super important skill; maybe not necessarily on a small twin because of the low-rev friendly torque (that sounds like a twin anyway), but if you ever go up to a bigger 4 banger, using / mastering the clutch is an absolute God send. The torque of that bike helped you in the U-turn at the beginning of the video but it's well worth practising turns like that purely by holding a tiny bit of throttle open and riding the clutch, using that clutch lever to add or subtract the power to the back wheel. Brilliant method for tight corners in town. Anyway, enjoy!
Enjoy your ride! Be safe bro!
Respect bro you did well. I plan on taking a course & buying my first bike soon in the coming months. Not everyone started as a pro. Practice makes perfect 👌🏾
your dad is a great man bro!
i really hope this kid takes his time
The fact that this is my dream motorcycle
Lol so many embarrassing moments - treasure those memories bro, very fun 😊
pops side eye after the "i'm good I got it" haha we all been there though man. welcome to the club. ✌
r3 is a good starter bike. I started on mt03 back in october... still riding it and still learning. it's a lot of fun, and the bike is pretty quick for a 321cc... especially once you get it past 6-7k rpm. enjoy and stay safe! Every once in awhile I'll still stall out my bike if I let myself get rushed at lights when they turn green.
Yup more than enough power than people make them out to be💯🤙
how tall are you bro, i wanna get the mt 03 also, but im 6"2 200lbs a bit worried about ergonomics.
You think it's okay for relatively taller riders?
@Hasan-wu6qh I'm 6 foot 2 as well, around 225ibs and have an mt03, I fit on the bike just fine, if I were a little bit taller (this includes the height with my boots) I wouldn't be able to fit on it. So you're good to fit with racing boots if you want one. Just go sit on one first and most places will let you try on gear and sit on the bikes. Hope this helped and let me know if you have any questions at all.
@@natesivula thanks for answering. Don't you get cramped up if you ride for longer periods of time?
@Hasan-wu6qh good thing is the gas tank isn't that big, so by the time I start to cramp up I'm stretching my legs getting gas, and after that I'm good to go for awhile.
painful watch hahaha but aye we all start somewhere bro, enjoy riding and be safe. im 16 and have had my mt07 for 4-5 months and i got used to it very quick. i dont even remember the last time i stalled hahaha
also bro i think your handle bar or forks are bent and by a lot. definitely get a mechanic to check that out
My GSXR 125 is being delivered this Saturday, pretty excited but also nervous. I've done my mandatory training and passed so now gonna start my journey with the 125cc and build up confidence.
I remember stalling at least twice during my training with a few cars behind me, I assure you it felt soo embarrassing even though I had BIGASS L plates on the bikes to indicate I was a learner.
Even with the helmet on, I could feel the stares of annoyance piercing through 🤣🤣🤣. O well, we might as well start somewhere. I'm looking forward to going on a nice outback trip. I'm very excited to be fair.
I’m just glad to see him on an actual beginner bike, smart choice! All you need is a couple of bolt on frame sliders, never let your ego override that throttle and you’ll be fine. Ride safe bro!
man, mad respect for you uploading this we have all been there at one time before. Most people will only upload videos once they know how to ride so mad respect for you to show the reality of how it all started.
i just started riding 4 weeks ago at 21 it takes a while but i use my bike to get to work most days so using it everyday really help you get used to your bike and the feel for things
Congrats on the bike. You'll get comfortable driving it around in no time. Stay safe 👍
As a 3 year motorcyclist here in Australia I think you did really really well for a first road ride. The laws are more restricting here specifically to teach learners how to ride safely. Its great youve gone for an r3 for your first ride too. I had an MT-03 and since owning multiple bikes after it, it was easily the most reliable
I’m getting an mt03 for my first road bike, am I making a good decision? Any little things about the ride someone should know?
I love this video so much. I took home my first bike, my new mt03, in October and have been loving it. This reminds me of that baby penguin feeling I had when I was first getting used to riding haha. One thing though, it does look like your handlebar alignment is a bit crooked. This could be for a couple different reasons, but it could also happen when the bike has been dropped before. Personally I'd recommend taking her to a mechanic just to be sure she's alright. Your first bike is not something you want to deal with mechanical issues on lol.
We all start somewhere. I just started riding (in my 30s) and have found it very easy to get used to. I think experience driving manual transmission cars has helped TREMENDOUSLY. Some would disagree but i find the skills transfer over. They have for me anyways. If this kid doesn't know how to drive a manual then he deserves even more slack. It's not easy going in blind like that. Hats off to him for having the courage to go for it. Ride safely man!
I have been riding since 9. havent drove a bike more than 150cc always been my dream riding/owning a 2-4 cylinder bike(no matter the displacement). i am 15 now and somewhat still happy with my honda cg125. Did some speed runs and it tops only about 130kmph or 75mphish.
Bro, this was some of the dodgiest shifting I have ever seen and I hope that I am half as good as you! I'm 34 and just got my first bike and I'm excited and terrified at the same time! You did so good man and I can't wait to see you get better ❤
congrats on your new bike bro, just a quick tip don't forget about engine breaking, it really helps for slowing down.
Brings back memories. I bet you got it now. I started at 14 and I'm 72 now. I bought a Ninja 400 and stalled it first time pulling out of dealers lot 😂
This brings me back so much memories...😅😅
hahaha how u started the video with the clutch and music choice i love it bro! ❤ subbed
This video made me glad i didnt have to learn to ride in multi lane traffic. Keep it up bro it gets easier with time and practice and invest in some good gear to keep you safe
i had never been on a motorcycle before in my life. then i got on it and it just clicked immediately. so fucking fun
Grab less clutch when shifting less rear brake and more front brake, you gotta act as the lock between the front and back wheel to keep them in line
hey bro i just dropped my first video riding around too. but on an r6. all those emotions you felt i did too. shaky scary and crazy. congrats on not dropping it like i did tho. gonna subscribe so we can learn together
Everyone giving you advice only thing I got for you is. Shout out to dad he is a legend.
I learned to ride on an r3 in 2015! Definitely a great bike to learn on imo
Biggest tell of a new rider: squeezi g the grips like their life depends in it, and using all 4 fingers on the levers.
Loosen up a little, and get used to using 2 fingets for the levers and keeping 2 on the bars. Its much safer since you still have a hold of the bars, and you're less likely to grab a handful of front brake and it's easier to feather the clutch.
painful to watch but props to you for going for it!
stepping out of that comfort zone is the only way to progress
Appreciate it!
Ride it like a sportsbike and you'll be fine. Remember to get up those gears. 4th for cruising.
Get into 2nd asap
And don't coast with the clutch in or stare at your dash or waddle with your feet
Straight out the msf course is crazy. Good shit man
Forks are twisted or bent it seems. Handlebars pointing to the right while driving straight.
The friction zone on these bikes is so touchy🥲
Yup it’s nothing compared to the msf course stocked levers💯
@@Eyessacckyou did a great job getting a feel for it prior to getting on a street. Your nerves got the best of you. Cool thing is, it’s like riding a bike lol. With time, you’ll get better and better. Some riders don’t even get in to traffic at first so you ripped that band aid off man.
