this is how to jump start a car/bike -

1) push it

2)release the clutch in 2nd

3)done

IT'S THAT SIMPLE! I appreciate people posting videos, but i really don't think it's necessary. If people don't know how to jump start a car/bike, they probably shouldn't even be driving.

@magnapillow Fair point but some people have never done it before!

I could argue the same for riding a motorbike for the first time.

1.) start engine.

2.) twist throttle to go faster.

3.) Change gear when neccesary.

4) Use brakes to slow down or stop.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE!

What camera do you use I'm thinking of getting into vlogging

[elkfazer1]

@MrDonzno1 My camera is similar to an HD POV but mine is an unbranded model. Good luck with the vlogging if and when you get started. Try going for a gopro, drift or contour type of camera because they're more mainstream camera's.

@elkfazer1 thanks for the advice was looking at the drift stealth 170 so im going to order that. just hope my videos are half as good as yours.

[elkfazer1]

@MrDonzno1 I'm sure yours will be better than mine because your drift will be newer technology. Good luck with that too, and I hope you start vlogging soon :-)

@powpanda That's easy! Just find a nice steep hill for your bicycle and free wheel down it whilst making 'brumm' 'brumm' noises with your mouth. If that doesn't have the desired effect or hurts your mouth a little then try this alternative. Take a small piece of card, say from a cornflakes box & wrap it around the front fork of your bicycle & fix it there with some tape, this will also make a nice 'brumm'' 'brumm' sound whilst you ride.

@elkfazer1 Yeh thats why I jump on especially if its raining so poor traction, yea and I know these cams we are using are super wide angle that distorts things, good man, Ride Safe

@2wheelsteve Sorry, I meant to get back to you early today! I made a mistake when looking at your video, I really thought it was a small bike because of the top down view of your petrol tank, it made it look lighter than it obviously is. Your technique works well though as you can let your own body weight help out with the grip at the back wheel when letting out the clutch. I still prefer to run along side though without jumping on board.

Still insulted with the comment mate, 15lbs heavier your bike by the way and Ive been bumping bikes for 38yrs

@elkfazer1 Small and light, you are kidding, xj550 maxim dry 450lbs slight up hill as well come on plus Im only 5'7" tall and if you fall your too new to biking and should learn like we all did, there are lots of 600s and above lighter than my bike ummm!!!
