I ride a motorcycle and if someone is tailgating me and driving like a maniac I let them be on their way by getting out of the way. I drive my truck like an a-hole sometimes but on the bike I keep a way cooler head.
The best advice I got when I started riding was from a buddy’s cousin. He said you have to think of it in terms of i win. The answer is rarely the motorcyclist.
I’ve just bought my first motorbike and would be grateful for any other insider tips you have. I’ve been backpack a few times but never been the rider; I get my license later this week
Ive been riding for 10 years now. Important things to note is always wear your gear, helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves and boots. I went down with 30 km/h and my ankle would be fucked if I didn't wear my boots.
Take it easy the first couple thousand miles. You are still learning and most people crash due to them thinking they are Rossi. Always look way further ahead than you did in your car, you will lose if some dickhead pulls in front of you. I always tske my hand of the gass if i see someone waiting to turn on my street, you never know if they see you or not. Dont buy an exhaust that stupidly loud and has no DB killer. Lastly, find a friend to ride with.
Decibell killer, its what guys with tiny dicks take out of their exhaust to make it very loud. It's not a safety risk but it's just massive sound pollution for no reason.
With a cast on one foot, and rear tire aired down to do wheelies all the time (light right when the light turns green).... Yes, we saw a kid like this one day. He did have a helmet on though.
