5 Life-Saving Habits for Motorcycle Riders

Another very informative video. Thank you!!

Nice channel, been watching for quite some time. English is sometimes quite difficult for us as Dutch people

Which CB was involved in the Moose Collisions?

My credo!
I've worked under the thesis that everyone I encounter is a narcissistic, selfish, grade A #1 A-hole who has no regard for your safety or the rule of law and the road.

It's served me well.

One of your first things that you're doing is you're teaching people to use only two fingers on their break. Get your hand on the brake and use it with your entire hand.
I believe you may have done this video before you took the police course, were they taught you that the lever was for all four fingers. I don't know where the idea came that you should only use half your fingers to control a mechanism, that would be like wearing flip-flops and trying to shift and brake with a couple of toes.
It is a dangerous habit and I had just begun to use that when it almost killed me. Stop doing it

The best rule to stay alive is to quit weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds thinking that all of us idiots are able to see you within a blink of an eye, though there was a time where most motorcyclists were responsible drivers but these days all I see is that we need to watch out for you idiots, if I cared enough to dedicate the time I could send you a 100 videos car cam to prove my case. It's rare to see a motorcyclist driving responsible according to the rules of the road, and I commend them and think, now that guy might live long enough to receive his retirement.

Most gents find it nearly impossible to avoid jerking their lever 💀

actually great content. thank you for the advice :)

The science guy of moto sport 🖤/ the bias of the head to the left might just save me here. Thank you 🙏

When pre loading would it light up the brake light?

Where'd you find a bathroom with a blackboard in it??

great video

Dude i am a bidirectional reader and i still crashed my bike in a docker ,

Pre-load: cries in servo-assisted brakes.

You are good!!!

"This looks shaky than Alex Marquez future " I see what you did there, hehe

In Canada they don’t have oil spills they have syrup spills lol

personal rule that my msf instructor taught me is "always assume that the other drivers dont see you and will ignore your right of way"

I think We should prioritize gaps more than breaking when you're riding. Braking fast is only useful if there's nothing on your back running you down. Preload brakes will also engage your brake lights that can cause accidents on your back. Proper spacing is the most important thing you should know when riding.

I am blown away by not only this content but also by your editing skills. I’ve dabbled with editing and you make it look easy which it’s not. Thank you so much for the content driving safely on a motorcycle. I only had to watch one video and really enjoyed your videoso I subscribed.

Yet another brilliant video, thank you.

So glad to see you extol the virtues of putting the LEFT foot down when coming to a stop. I see so many riders struggling to start after a stop on even a slight incline, because they don’t know this technique. I see them struggling to use the right hand to simultaneously open the throttle and release the front brake. Just about manageable on a level surface, but tricky and potentially disastrous on any sort of slope.

And I love your tip about tilting just your head to the left as you stop, then putting down the left foot. It’s so important not to throw out your left leg too early, as this just destabilises the bike. Also good to put the bike in first gear as you stop, for a quick and easy take-off.

Regarding the "concertina effect", can I make a suggestion. When following someone, do not follow their rear tire. Instead, imagine they aren’t there, and concentrate on the road ahead of them, particularly approaching bends. Of course you shouldn’t ignore them completely, but your approach to bends and other hazards should be the same in a group as if you are on your own. Remember that whilst the rider in front will accelerate away from the bend before you do, he will have to brake before you do at the next one. So no need to try to catch him up.

So today I had my first ever collision with a car. Sort of. The guy was backing up and didn’t see me. I saw him, so I stopped and put my left foot down and I pressed down my brake. So the only thing that happened was guy bounced off my front wheel. Zero harm. The skill I picked up years ago thanks to this video. So thank you Ryan

Rider Pride!

What bmw bike is that?

Alberta plate is wild.

Homomotorcyslclist? 😮😂😂
I’m so sad I only just found this guys content mf funny af

very interesting video.

WTF how did i find you. You sound fking competent❤
I loooove it😮

Lol I lost it at homo motorcyclist 😂

i don't keep up now. if my friends invite me, they must wait for me. so I go on my own pace

You are amazing

Very rarely is a good tune played on that kind of accordion.......and the vocals are usually out of time and sound bad!

You forgot to add: If you wanna race, go to a racetrack..

Ohhhhh that’s why I didn’t recognise that equation. We did it as F= μR where R is reaction aka normal contact force. lol our teachers told us to stop calling it normal contact force

I wanna personally thank ryan f9 for this video, because his explanation about preloading the lever saved me at least 50 times from serious injuries or even death. This technique is a life saver especially if you dont have an ABS motorcylce like me

Please please make more videos on how to ride safely starting from the ABC of riding. I like the way you teach things. Tell us more about riding techniques, tips, drills to improve our riding and so on.

I blame Boards of Canada to lead me thinking that traffic is on the left in Canada.

way too long-winded and technical. just give us the five tips, this could've been done in 2 min

“ homo-motorcyclists” I knew there wasn’t something right about that boy

I watch all the vids for the pure comedy and learn something as a bonus.

You said homo-motorcyclist. Hehehe

All is well and good when your eyes are open, but that is not always true.

You're a saint but smarter. And the metric system wasn't your fault.

My dad always put the newest rider up front and he was always in back. Now I know why. Accordion effect.

Jesus Christ I love you.

Great video well done 👍🏽

i do not have money for this bike
