Hey man your videos are very helpful! I'm going to buy my first bike soon and have just been on youtube trying to get some pointers. But I have a question, alot of people have been telling me that new riders ALWAYS drop their bikes. That sounds like a pretty bold statement to me but I was wondering if there is any truth behind that? And what would cause a new rider to drop their bike? Like what are some mistakes new riders make? Thanks.

@StandByYourVan1 Not "everybody crashes". One of the serious problems that any rider faces is getting themselves in a position where they 'drop' their bike. It can be as simple as putting a foot down at the gas station and slipping in diesel or trying to turn around in a parking lot and pulling in the clutch while leaned over at walking pace and the bike falls. A couple ideas: Be aware of your surroundings and footing. Be comfortable moving the bike at slow speed.

Can you do a video about riding with a passenger? Love to get some extra tips!

[CaptCrashIdaho]

Great idea! I'll put it in the mixer and see what comes out....

Crash !! Am not a biker yet, not even a trainee, but the way you demonstrate stuff makes me that little bit more confident for when I do go and get my CBT ( basic training ) done!!

Especially love the end bit.. " I'm looking where I want to go ... WooHoooo !!! )

Awesome video, Thanks for posting it :)

Just got a bike and I'm having a hard time with right hnd turns I'm gonna try this thanks

Definitely appreciate this video. I'm brand new and have only been on my bike a handful of times. I passed a safety course, but they never talked about this type of turn. Riding around my neighborhood, turning from a stop has given me a lot of grief. I got to be honest, trying this out scares the crap out of me, but I got to learn it somehow! I'm off to find a parking lot to give this a swing.

@CaptCrashIdaho Thanks for the quick response man, very helpful. That makes me feel a lot better too haha. I've just seen a bunch of motorcycle videos and Q&A sites online where people say something like "if your a new rider you ARE going to drop your bike". That was just bugging me. But thanks for the tips. Your videos are awesome!
