What is up everybody dan dan the fireman here and i'm gonna do a video response to seven dumb and
Most common beginner rider errors by the Yamster the Yammie Noobs
I'm gonna go ahead and talk about it I'm a MSF rider coach now I've been doing beginner tips and I feel like it's I
Want to share my opinions on it first of all I just want to say it was a good video I really liked it that's
Why I'm talking about it just came out today
So I want you guys to check that video out and then come back to this one
Alright guys like I said I am a MSF rider coach I am somebody that talks about beginner motorcycle riding tips and all those
Things all the time and I wanted to share my opinion on these things there's a few of them on here I think I got
about five I was able to correlate and talk about but great video Yams
great video Yammie Noobs
And I really suggest you guys subscribe if you haven't already he's got a lot more subscribers than me but I
think this was a good video
Alright so first of all he talks about stalling your bike and i'm paying attention to the road right here
He said he said stalling your bike is is a dumb and common beginner error. I mean that's the title right
Stalling your bike sucks he does a good job of explaining a little bit of it but he talks about
In a funny way how to really work on your slow speed maneuvers clutch control
Parking lot practice and it's true you really do need to practice your your friction zone right here
You need to practice your clutch control and all that stuff and do some parking lot
practicing I do have parking lot practicing on my channel so you should check that out I'm glad that he's bringing attention to
Making sure you go out and practice so that's really good but stalling your bike I don't think it's really a dumb error
I think it
he
even mentions it that even experienced riders they do it themselves I still do it sometimes
Especially on a newer bike when I'm getting a little excited or even fatigued
I just let the clutch out too soon
So don't worry about thinking that it's a dumb error it's just it's a it's it's something. That happens so don't feel dumb
Don't feel dumb but it is a common beginner rider error and I talked about that in some of my videos
The next one is tailgating I don't know if you could tell but. I'm about let's see that sign is one-mississippi two-mississippi. Three-mississippi
I'm about three and a half seconds away from this car and he's talking about tailgating is a dumb and common error
I just touched the phone who cares
tailgating is a dumb and common error and I completely agree you need to create a space cushion have an escape path pay attention to
what you're doing don't be
too focused on riding and just like being an idiot and Be super close and like being pissed and all
that's more of a topic later on but tailgating is terrible you don't have the reaction time and
Braking speed and distance that a car really does have so make sure you have a space cushion have an escape path
do a two-second following what I did was with that sign there's a sign here one-mississippi two-mississippi three-mississippi
about three and a half seconds about four seconds is what I like to have and
What I did was when that car passed that sign I started counting and then when I passed a sign
that is the distance I have
So, what you need to do is have it at least a minimum two second following distance a four second cushion and then look about
12 seconds ahead alright so not down shifting at stops down shifting at stops is very important and here's why
Because when you go to a stop let's just go ahead and stop right here so I don't think that red lights coming up
so let's say I'm gonna downshift it to a stop and this is like the intersection okay - Oh hey doggo
So I'm gonna downshift into a stop so it's like oh no I got to stop right here
Okay
so, I down shifted all the way into first gear now what he was talking about and his thing is that if you downshift into
Like third gear or second gear so let's put it in second gear let's put in third gear I'm in third gear right now let's
Say I'm in third gear and I forgot the downshift green light
Even with the perfect friction zone of perfect
Throttle response
Being in third gear is not a good thing and I stalled
Was that dumb? No!
It's a little teaching moment down in first gear friction zone throttle control much better and that's why you need to downshift
into first gear
when you get to a light
parking lot practice and
the reason why you need to do that is for one you don't stall when it turns green and for two when you're in first
Gear and some type of emergency happens behind you and you have to take off where something's gonna hit you you have to take off
You're already in the gear needed so don't put it in neutral I don't know if this I think this person is turning
Left okay good you can tell by the tires oh cool
So definitely be in first gear
It's easier to stall when you're in 3rd gear fourth gear fifth gear
But it can be done you're just gonna be chugging it's not recommended
cornering, we're gonna have some corners coming up up here, but he talks about and he jumps into the
It's the outside inside outside now that is a typical
Cornering maneuver so what are you talking about I'm in lane position one this is Lane position two lane position three
And he's talking about outside which is this if I'm turning left, when he goes outside
see, you like that third gear that's why you need downshift coming to a stop so outside you're gonna start turning you're going to the
inside
And now you're gonna exit the outside now this, was kind of an exaggerated thing it wasn't that big of a turn
But that's what he's mentioning. Typically that is a pretty good response now, what I recommend what I personally recommend is middle middle middle
for a beginner middle middle middle is going to give you the space cushion on each side and
for you're gonna have the best view
for each side
It's one less thing to worry about so when you go outside you have a really good wide open spot wide open view
you go to the inside
So you can you know reduce distance and it's a higher level skill and then
When you go on the outside again you're able to speed through the exit now as a beginner
You really don't need to be focused on that you need to be focused on making the turn safely so middle middle middle
Will give you space cushions
Middle middle middle will also give you a good view and you can come out of the exit at a decent speed
With some roll on on the throttle so be nice and smooth he talked about that
Remember there's always there's different paths you can do you can do outside
Middle middle outside middle outside outside outside outside middle middle middle
inside inside inside
I believe there's 27 combinations of what you can do and
Just pick the one that works best for you but for a beginner middle middle middle is probably the best now
if there is a piece of debris like a
let's let's pretend there's a tar snake here and it's like a big old crack and I'm doing middle middle middle
during this turn I can go middle inside back to the middle pretty easily if I have to there's a bunch of
Debris right here so I could say I could stay in the inside inside inside
inside the middle
Outside if I really had to there's a bunch of different things you can do so don't stick to just one plan
But then once again this is a bigger video even mentions that
That would be a whole new topic for itself but I just wanted to clarify that and let you guys know and understand that for
me personally my opinion is middle middle middle
He does talk about entry speed countersteering accelerate through the turn. I'm taking my hands off
I know you guys don't like that but here's a topic right here so entry speed
I'm making sure I'm doing a good entry speed I'm in the middle and then while I'm coming through the turn I
Accelerated through it so that is basically what he was talking about
But don't worry too much about that like I said it's another video in itself he does touch upon
not breaking during the turn that is more of an advanced skill trail breaking it is it's more of an advanced skill you do not
Want to be breaking during the turn you should be doing your braking before the turn
And getting a good entry speed now if you want to learn how to do breaking
through the turn if you want to learn how to do trail braking please check out Ride Arizona MTC
We can teach you some stuff. I work for them a little disclosure there I'm affiliated I could do BRC 1
classes but the advanced class is what teaches you
The trail breaking so anyways let's go ahead jump in the next one acting like riding is the same as driving now
He, was talking about on acting like riding as the same as driving driving you pretty much zone out you pretty much are super comfy
for walls around you you're freaking it was a
Soundproof you got music you got your phone to mess around with
You can pretty much the zone out
Sometimes you don't even know how you got home how you got to where you need to be
Because you zoned out now if you act like that while you're riding
You're in for some really deep crap it might look like what I'm doing is I'm focusing on moto vlogging but what I'm actually doing
Is I'm scanning my horizons I'm constantly moving my eyes I'm constantly thinking and I just I'm able to talk about this stuff
because of all the experience I have
Talking about beginner tips and then going through the MSF Rider coach program so guys. I'm doing this because
I can do this and I can
Focus on riding and not focus on what I'm saying like I don't know what I said about ten seconds ago
but you need to Zone in not zone out while riding you need to constantly be scanning I talked about that search evaluate execute all
the time and I talked about in the previous video
but that's kind of what I wanted to talk about when it came to Yammie Noobs a
Video that it came out today
I think it was a great video you guys need to check it out his channel if you haven't he's starting to go more into
The beginner tip videos which I personally already said that I liked that he's doing that it brings more exposure to both newer
Motorcycle riders and he's a smart dude and I like the fact that today, he kept it pretty
Damn safe like he wasn't messing around too. Much he gave that educational thing with a hint of
Comedy it wasn't comedy with a hint of educational it, was really good I really liked it some good stuff
There so I will support that
If other creators are doing that that's why I'm doing a video response
I want you to go to his channel and click that subscribe button if you haven't already
if you want to click that click Subscribe of mine that's perfectly cool
but that's not the point of this video the point of this video is to do
My opinion on his bullet points his topics his things that he did and I think he, did a great job
Okay, so with that said I hope you guys ride safe be safe and I'll see you guys later
