I bought my first bike a little over 2 years ago and with one exception have ridden it in all the gear all the time, on that one occasion I was doing some work around the house and need to make a purchase from the local DIY store so went out in jeans. I was amazed at how cold I got and how quickly. I also ride a scooter for work, during one ride I rear ended a car and banged my knees. I was wearing works uniform, cargo pants, it was low speed, I stayed upright, but banged my knees. I suffered bursas on both knees that were painful for about a month. I feel luck that the accident and injuries weren't more severe. Now I wear motorcycle pants with knee protection for every ride, regardless of the bike I'm on. ATGATT.

When I had a scooter my exhaust once did start to make weird sounds while riding. I checked it out and saw that it had quite a large hole on the side towards the wheel. So I patched it up a bit and just went to do a lap around my parking lot to check if it sounds normal. It was about 150-200 meters ride and it was the first and last time I went on a scooter or a bike without a helmet. I felt so weir, almost naked. Since I got a bike I always had all the gear except pants. It was quite hard for me to find a pair that fits me at waist, while not being too long and not having protectors at the spot they should be on. Last week I just had a day off and went to visit a friend who lives in a city about 4 hours driving away. While there I visited few shops and have found myself a pair of pants that fits well. Finally able to ATGATT :D

Great video, and spot on words. As an older guy just learning to ride (#midlifecrisis) this chimes with me. I don't want to be the fastest on the block, but just develop new skills without scaring myself to death. Nice to see someone has put this together and put it out there for people to learn from. Leave the ego at home and enjoy the ride without putting pressure on yourself. Don't worry about fluffed gear changes. I'm going to go out tomorrow, find a car park and really practice the slow maneuvers stuff off the back of this advice. Then take a ride (sensibly) on my favourite road - I am getting to know my bike - like 8 rides in now, but need to keep mindful and not get complacent. Thanks GS.

All very true. As a new rider myself (4 months now and counting) all of these tips have helped me greatly. Low speed maneuvering has also let me beat a few more seasoned riders around corners and turns. You get to learn and trust the bike and know it won't dump you when you're doing certain things. If you can do it slow, you can do it fast and usually better than others that never do it slow.

This is very helpful information. It is basically what I already know/ learned but it's always good to keep drilling this into my head before I get my bike (hopefully in the next couple weeks) I took the cmsp (california version of msf) and got into my own head during the test and failed despite doing very well during all the trainings so I learned that I can ride a motorcycle as long as there's no pressure or stress. Only problem is the road next to my mobile home park is a 45-55m/h highway 😭 Then the road it turns onto is a busy 40m/h 6 lane-road.

I'm 36 and bought my 1st bike sorta on empulse and it sat for about a week as I was pretty nervous about riding it. I work really wonky hours at a state job so a MSF course wasn't an option, if I was gonna do it I had to do it myself. I quit drinking because I found I was getting into the habit of using the old " after work beer, ohh shucks, can't drive now" as an excuse not get out there and try it. Eventually I just forced myself out to our little road and... it all just worked. Bike didn't fall, my 1st turn was a low speed u turn and ... nothing happened, bike obeyed me and then I felt it dogging down so I went to shift and....it shifted lol. So now every day when I get off I do this course around town. Some days I go left, some days right, some days I ride to the river to have a smoke when it's really early and the river has that sweet low fog on it. But God...I was terrified at the start.

I've always considered "being able to stop" my #1 priority and confidence builder. I realize that it's hard to practice the last thing you get to do ... "first," but I felt compelled to use the same strategy when I was a beginner tractor-trailer driver. Backing into a dock door, without running over something, was what I considered #1 priority and unless you take timeout to practice, it's the skill that you only get to practice once or twice a day. Don't wait for a necessary stop to practice braking. Knowing you can stop is a great confidence builder !!

Most of the things I do. I have only ridden with someone else a couple of time, maybe three at the most. One of the reasons I ride is to be alone, to have time to think and focus, and being with other riders is just a distraction. Plus I don't have a lot of friends that ride, and I don't join group rides because every group ride I've seen ends in either someone crashing or the cops getting involved I always wear my gear when I ride. There were only two occasions where I didn't. One was after an oil change where I wanted to get the oil through the engine so I took it for a two minute ride around the block. Only gear was my helmet. The only other time was I wanted to test a theory I have. I think we ride differently with gear and without. When I was out with just the helmet and gloves, I was way more aware of everything around me than I ever was before on the bike. You know how vulnerable you feel out there with all the gear on, it's that only amplified. I was checking my mirrors more, should checks more, more following distance, not as impatient with slower cars, etc. I used that as my new baseline for riding. I think I was getting too comfortable with my gear on and thinking I wouldn't get hurt. Riding without gear will make you feel vulnerable especially if you're used to always wearing it. As a rider,, once you're comfortable and confident on the bike, I recommend a ride without the gear for a quick reality check.
@GasWorksISO

Unfortunately, Honolulu is very congested so new riders here get thrown out in crazy bumper-to-bumper stop and go traffic from Day 1. Even church and school parking lots are gated for security so it's very difficult to find an off-road area to practice low-speed maneuvers and just get comfortable with the bike. Where's an abandoned strip mall when you need one. ;)

Only 3 dealerships: 1-Indian/Suzuki; 2-HD/Kawasaki/Honda; 3- Aprilia/BMW/Ducati/Moto Guzzi/Piaggio/Triumph/Vespa. Dealers 2 and 3 are the same owner but different locations. Prices are high for new and used because it's Hawaii and inventory is limited. Even pre-owned offerings at the dealerships is scarce and overpriced in my opinion. I'm scouring Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp on a daily basis looking for something decent. Lots of big cruisers and sport bikes, but I'd prefer a standard or adventure bike for an upright seating position. A maxi-scooter like a Burgman 400 would probably make more sense in our traffic, but I kind of wanted to give the purist motorcycle route a shot first.

That R1 only weighs 390 pounds, not a heavy bike at all. If your friend dropped it in a turn, it’s because he used the front brake while in the turn. Use your rear brake when doing low speed maneuvers instead of the front. The more your front tire is turned, at any speed, the less front brake you have available. I don’t even touch my front brake at low speeds unless the front tire is straight. Hope that helps.
