Just make sure you look at where you want to go, when I did the u-turn I kept looking at the line they said don't cross and I would cross the line, when I looked at where I'm suppose to exit the box the u-turn was simple.

    I cannot recommend enough that all new riders should watch (and re-watch) “Twist of the Wrist 2” to really hammer in all the nuances of riding especially how to deal with “survival reactions”. That knowledge saved my life a couple times.

    I've been watching your videos since yesterday and I decided to go to my dealership today and got my blue 2021 r3. I really wanted the grom but honda is delayed with their products because of covid. My dealer has this exact bike and I took it straight away.
    i also appreciate your honest videos.
    Also, I like the night ride. It looks really nice where you live. And to be honest I'm not surprised by your feedback on Ruroc since you're not a paid endorser. It's all hype.
    Cheers man.

    I bought a 2019 R3 two months ago barely has any miles on it cause i rained like hell where i live. Stalled like a mofo on hills still get trouble at times. I try to stay more to the left or right of the lane so cars can past if i stall. People should stop talking about clutch, braking etc and help new people get through the fear of being on the road in traffic. Hell I'm still scared at times. Great video man

      Some tips for inclines:
      1) Keep your foot on R brake, let go of F
      2) (Few seconds before light turns green) Clutch in friction zone to the point stalling
      3) Let go of brake
      4) Maintain clutch position
      5) Throttle out progressively
