[Christokerson]

Fuck Lincoln way

[Atony94]

Wow I was born in New Lenox and lived there until I was 12, kinda shocked to see it on youtube lol

[checkmate440]

How in the heck did you mount the camera

[mcninjja]

that's francis road right? And at like 0:45 you pass my friends house,his dad is the motorcycle medic guy

[LRHULL]

Ride safe, make a full stop at Francis and Schoolhouse. Lots of accidents there.

[Billyjackman]

[Richmeryork]

[PunchRockGroin]

2:54, that wasn't a complete stop.

[eeelnagm]

nice video but i wish if the cam was a little bite far to show how u doing your gear shift and u would say also what u doing everytime u come to raise the speed or reduce it i hope u notice that with next video i really like your videos good work sir

[dakipro]

Thanks man, I enjoyed the ride.. hope next season I will ride some cruiser, at lest that are the plans.. cheers, great vids btw, watched them all, useful, thanks again.

[WhatCanIsay100]

Past my house.

[brasbrasero]

Whne do you now how to change shifts without a rpm display????

[incognito84]

Listen to the engine. After some practice, you should *never* need to look at the RPM display for any reason.

[gowhitesox12]

at the end u rode into my school parking lot

[bk2158]

this vid is great! it makes me want to buy a motorcycle and and run the back roads. (their great backroads in south Ga.) and your vids are very informative

[jakenfriedlove]

you went right past my house

[MotorcycleAssistant]

I did make a countersteering video not sure if you watched it or not. The biggest reason to understand the physics of countersteering is when you need to swerve a motorcycle quickly. Leaning does not turn a motorcycle quickly it only makes it drift. You have to countersteer to make a motorcycle turn quickly.

[flintp51]

It's very slight. You probably won't notice it here. Most people that ride motorcycles don't really understand countersteering, but they all use it. It's possible to learn it by simply doing it. But you should atleast understand the concept. Anyway, I doubt you will see it easily in the video. Are you thinking of taking a class? or trying to learn to ride?

[deinhert]

i actually got out on a moped the other day and i agree, its very slight but it makes a difference. just never noticed it until i payed attention.

[flintp51]

Yea. You should notice it on a moped. Did you buy it? Or was it a friends? Anyway, have fun!

[catechizer]

You have good videos but you should come to a complete stop at stop signs. That one second total stop can avoid an accident. Seems like in the USA stop is slow and go. Also stopping behind the liability line is a good idea.

[LetsDebateFTW]

faster is better

[jhardy66617]

do you like completly stopping and then starting again from first gear? most people dont and unless theres a blind corner id roll through it too, its just easier and safe if you do it when u can see everything

[radarbrew]

"California roll", bad boy!

[vpxuk]

the backroads look alot differen were ure riding to where i live. i think riding the backroads in in da country would be alot more fun

[ugslamma]

Chance we take

[snapetiger]

I noticed that when you came to a stop, it looked like you pulled in the clutch and coasted to the stop then started out again in first. is there no need to shift down through the gears? Thanks for the videos. maybe another one on downshifting? thanks!

[Znupi18]

You can hear him shifting down. I think he shifted 3 gears down (you can hear 3 clicks).

[webslinger82989]

This is Francis Road, not to far from my house.

[camdogie]

thanks for the great vids. my dad and I are taking a course in May and he's already got a bike (even though he has no motorcycle license) so we're really excited about that.

if you're wondering, its a victory 8 ball.

anyway, thanks for you vids. I thought it would be a good idea to know something before taking the class.

[jackalwill]

Bike is dangerous, doesnt have protection. Stay away if you can. Even very careful or professional cannot prevent accident. At least car has protection. Your body vs car? Like tomato smash on a wall. You live your life, the decision is yours.

[dinkoman]

It's car drivers who cause most bike fatalities, maybe they should pay a little more attention to bikers and everyone would be safer.

[FatalShadowTsu]

It's certainly true that a motorbike has far less protection than that of a car, no argument. But its just like you said, car drivers are the ones who cause accidents the most to motorcyclists. A motorbike on its own is not really that dangerous(provided you are a safe driver, which everyone should be), but in an environment of cars, it can be very dangerous.

[culy90]

when accident happens: 2 people on bike - just 2 get hurt. 4 peole in car - 4 get hurt. Compare?

[audiocable]

@dinkoman easier said than done when their on their phones, eating pizza and talking on the cell
