Unpopular Opinions: 10 Things Motorcyclists Need To STOP Saying

Dropping your bike is actually a good thing and before I explain why it is very important that you know that these 10

things

I am going to tell you are lies, lies, lies and slander. 5 years ago I almost

stop

ped writing because I believed in some of these. lies, don't let it be you because if you

stop

writing or never start, you might not experience this if I weren't writing. I'd still be dead inside at my old office job and my main hobby is probably Zumba now, back to why dropping your bike is actually a good thing. Have you ever noticed how dirt bikes and police bikes come with fall protection?

It's the people who try hard, the people who do hard

things

on bikes that drop their bike. a lot, if you never want to drop your bike then play it safe, you don't have to try hard and what is the risk of you having some scratches on your bike, a possible injury personally. I've dropped this bike on tons of off-road practice. The big Harley is in tons of slow speed practice and I've never been hurt from any of those falls except one time I sprayed my ankle, but we're not made of glass, we're organic, we can heal and what's the reward now that I can do it.

Tight figure eights and turns on really big bikes that I could barely get off the stand before, that's worth it to me, only the best dropped their bike many times, so in the process of learning to ride these bigger bikes, bikes taller, heavier. bikes. I have dropped them many times, if you drop your bike you are learning that I really feel like everyone should go out and lean their bike, end up with the right strong tube and save lives, according to this article. by a motorcycle accident lawyer, they actually found out that there is no correlation between pipe noise and fewer motorcycle accidents and the reason why it is probably a myth is because most motorcycle accidents occur at intersections, someone turns left in front of a motorcyclist, your chances of getting into a motorcycle accident increase if you ride tired under the influence of your level of experience or lack of experience if you are speeding do not occur when someone hits a motorcyclist from behind, which is where you would listen to the exhaust if you want a loud exhaust just say that as far as people

saying

motorcycles are dangerous and it's not dangerous if you fall off, that's when that's not actually backed up by data.

Motorcycles are not as dangerous as people think and I have the data to prove it to you, we hear this. According to statistics, you are almost 30 times more likely to be in an accident on a motorcycle than in a car. Negative scary things go viral more than sometimes the truth, according to Insurance Information Institute.org from a 2019 study of 8. million motorcycles registered in the US. There were 84,000 accidents with injuries, or less than 1% of people who own a bicycle had an accident. I had a hard time believing this at first, so I searched to see if I could find another source that was parallel. this and I discovered that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records that about 72 out of every 100,000

motorcyclists

will experience a 0.007% accident;

Those are two quite different statistics, but they still show that less than 1% of

motorcyclists

in the US will experience an accident, compare that to about 7% of people over the age of 20 who will suffer from cardiovascular disease or the 23% of people who get injured while exercising. Once you reach 30, you are twice as likely to get cancer as you are to be in an accident. motorcycle accident and that only increases as you get older, accidents can happen but there are things we can do to keep ourselves safe, slowing down, not drinking and driving just by doing those things you already reduce your chances of having an accident in almost half of the majority.

In accidents the driver claims not to be able to see the cyclist so you will always see me in bright clothing and this light on the back of my helmet works wirelessly with these brackets that attach with 3M tape so you can attach it. on multiple helmets, so it works every time you stop or slow down, no cables, no apps, nothing, the technology is called accelerometer and gyrometer, a couple of 20's, something the engineers were on Shark Tank, which they invented I'm so impressed by the fact that it's linked. below use discount code doodle 10, whether you ride or not, 100% of people will die, so how you live before you get there is up to you.

The next lie is that if you can't lift your bike, it's too big for you when I first bought this bike and couldn't pick it up. Just because you can't pick up your bike today doesn't mean you can't learn the technique in a few hours with a certified instructor and then be able to pick up your bike. My bike was the first thing in my life that motivated me to get fit, exercise and that's what I did with this bike. I specifically built muscles for this. Now not everyone is disciplined mofo like me, some people want to stay skinny and weak but that's okay, I'll be strong if you want something, don't listen to the underachievers who shoot at you and the very popular ones had a layer down, let's see what an instructor is of real engine that has been teaching civilians to drive for 25 years and analyzing motorcycles. accidents for the state, let's see what they have to say about that, everyone knows something that says A car stopped in front of me so I had to hide what they're really

saying

is that I had no idea how to get out of the so I stepped on I hit the brakes and slid on my butt to avoid a crash, that's the last thing you want to do, trust me, it works much better with a bike on two wheels, you can do whatever you want, you can't maneuver.

Ride a bike like you see me here, you're in serious trouble, next lie you can't use the front brake in a turn or you'll fall, that's actually called Trail Breaking, yes you can Trail Breaking, if you're a cyclist. that's been around for a while you're doing it if you're a new driver maybe you've heard don't do it brake everything in a straight line don't drag the brakes into the corner we control a lot of things when we brake on the track when we apply brake pressure brakes into the corner, we control our speed, which is what most of us think of as brakes, but to that we add control of our steering geometry when we release the brake up and down and the fork bounces, the contact area becomes smaller.

We would like to leave that larger contact patch at the tip end. This is not our idea. It's not something we thought of and we think you should do a Trail Break because we figured it out. that the best Trail break in the world the next lie is to say that a bike is too tall for you or that you should lower it this is where I almost stopped riding for my second bike. I bought a Triumph bonable much lighter than this one and was on my toes. I didn't realize what I didn't know, so I was very unstable.

I almost dropped it or almost dropped it every time I put it together and I got really discouraged. I thought that maybe riding wasn't for me and That's when more than one subscriber started talking to me about Joselyn Snow, she is 51 years old and A2 rides a GS1 1250 and her feet don't even touch the ground. I'm not as tough as Joselyn Snow, but I adopted from her the short Rider tricks she shows. your YouTube channel any bike I tiptoe on and when I started applying those tricks everything was easier I stopped dropping my bike the bigger bikes were easier to handle and it was so simple it's not like I

need

ed a year of practice or something advanced. classes I just

need

ed a few tricks I could learn in an afternoon.

I have tricks like that that I apply to taller sportbikes. Baggers and my bike, which you can see in any of these videos. Here in the US, people stop riding bikes at alarming speeds. See what Dave from Canyon Chasers had to say about it recently. The usmca or the united states motorcycle trainers association pulled data from the major manufacturers and a bunch of states and what they found was that 80% of new riders completely leave the sport within 2 years and if there wasn't It was you telling me about josn snow, showing me that I wasn't limited in the size of bikes I could ride, that could have been me, there was a time when I thought I could.

I don't ride taller bikes, dirt bikes, Baggers, adventure bikes. I felt like a failure, but now I see that you don't fail, you quit. The next lie is that the bike is too small for you, it depends on the type of riding you are doing and above all. about where in the world you are riding, you can have a lot of fun with a mini bike behind you, the next lie is that you will outgrow that bike, some people maybe like it better in the US and I include bikes really big ones that I like. big bikes and I can't lie, I understand it's my thing, some people want a lower Cc or a smaller bike and that's actually perfect for the type of riding they do, some people won't admit it but they like to speed.

Me. I don't know anything about that and that's a little harder to do on a Honda Rebel 300 or a Honda Grom that tops out at 55 mph, but if I didn't have a YouTube channel I'd probably still be riding my bike and going. weekend rides to the mountains and for that I had a Street Tri R. I bought it, not because I ever used all the horsepower that bike had, but because of the type of riding I was doing and the speeds at the ones I preferred to go. I probably would have been just as happy with a Yamaha R3 that still fits the style of riding I was doing, is still comfortable, and can hold its own on US roads.

The only time the R3 would really be a struggle is if you're trying to go triple. digits or more, otherwise I could have been perfectly happy on a 300C sports bike or a Naked Bike and just keep in mind that 500c is not the same on different bikes. Just because you've been riding a Yamaha Bolt for several years doesn't mean you can get on a Yamaha R six and not hit a fence because you weren't expecting that torque, just be careful, that's all I'm saying and the last lie is that owning a bike is cheaper than owning a car when my husband sold his R3.

The guy who bought it said this loud and clear and I think so his wife in the car could hear. I can't afford a car so I will buy this bike according to AAA. The average annual maintenance costs for owning a car are approx. $800 and according to JD Power, the average annual maintenance costs for owning a bike are about $800 on the low end; You can get a new Honda car for $30,000 and you can get a new Honda Touring bike for $30,000 as average for a person in the US earns around $1.7 million during their lifetime, don't you think? something is worth it for your mental and emotional well-being.

I mean, at this point, it's not an expense, it's an investment. It won't save you from these 10 lies. Next, check out this video YouTube wants you to watch or 10 things no one wants you to watch. tells you about writing below
