Seven More Tips to Become a Better, Faster and Safer Motorcycle Rider 🏍

I'd like to add that when you look down the road at traffic, take a good hard look and ask yourself, "what's wrong with this picture." Seeing a car on the side of the road, is he about to get back on the road suddenly? Cruising down a section of road that allows for passing, is there an impatient driver about to pass multiple cars and not see me? A car at the end of a driveway, is he getting his mail or about to go on a milk run? Is that car full of teens leaving school aware of their surroundings at all? ENJOY the ride, motorcycles are great, but NEVER get complacent. Oh, and "never surprise the tires" is some of the best, succinct advice ever given.

"Don't surprise the tire" That's a good one. Cheers from Brazil!

After six years and 60,000 km of city commuting, I’m back to square one as I learn to ride wide open twisty country roads. I can already see just how useful your videos are going to be! Thanks from Australia!!

0:41 Complacency is the enemy 2:37 Wait for the weight - Brake patiently and progressively, not suddenly 5:21 Question tradition - There is a lot of bad advice in the motorcycling community 7:09 Jazz - it's unpredictable - don't expect the next corner to be the same as the last, don't expect a familiar road to remain unchanged 9:08 Tires - maintain the pressure, monitor wear and age, replace earlier rather than later. 11:21 International community laughs at US healthcare 11:53 Apex - Better later than sooner 14:00 Stay ahead of the motorcycle - pay attention to the road ahead.

You warn that there is no magic bullet, and I agree, but man this video was excellent. "Wait for the weight." "Don't surprise the tire." "Stay ahead of the aircraft." Those are all magic bullets of a sort, and easy to remember. Thanks for sharing, this series always gives me something to think about and work on before I ride again (which for me is in about 30 minutes, lol).

“Don’t surprise the front tire”, LOVE IT!

I never ever want not to keep learning !!

Don’t surprise the tire. That kid is going places.

I've never thought about how the outside of each turn is the cleanest due to the ways cars handle. That's a brilliant tip.

I had been ride since 2015. 3 years of underbone(small bike below 150cc) about 2 year of sport bike 250cc(ninja250). All my accident is because of my fault. 😂😂 thank god im still alive and having lot of luck when heavy accident. I had found this vid about a year or so and my riding experience is much better and awesome. Come back just to refresh and see if i had made mistake without noticing. Ps: i ride my bike about 120km(distance)/daily just from home to my workplace. 🤣 so i exposed with a lot of risk. This kind of video helps me a lots. Thank you.🙏🏼😁😁

Love your videos. Thank you very much!!

Another excellent video, Dave. Much appreciate your effort and the quality of work you do on these.

"everything. slows. down." yes! yes! yes! ohmygod - I love this so much! I remember when I saw the movie Biker Boys and Fishburne's character vision turned into a tunnel. I was like wtf?! until one day in Brooklyn on Atlantic avenue that happened to me as I raced to catch a green light. ....scared the hell out of me. I could see the end, but I also realized I couldn't see the sides. decided it wasn't worth the risk. and (mostly) rode safe since. plan. ahead. (riding is a metaphor for life!) thanks for this

The way you present is the best on YouTube. Love your content. Keep it coming!!!!

Great video, Dave! Loved the cameos.

Always SO informative, thanks y'all LOVE YOUR STUFF :)

I think this was one of the best videos about riding that I ever saw. Thanks!

Superb, guys, just superb. Thx.

Thank you very kindly!

That one point alone, "Stay Ahead of The Motorcycle" is gold. Thank you.
