I like that you get straight to the point and don’t waste 5-6 minutes on introductions. Thanks for the videos
@kingtee94
The "Trying to keep up" really hits home for me. I watched a man die in front me all because he was "trying to keep up". Never ride outside of your abilities.

“Always upgrade the software not the hardware” I’ll consider this one the Tip of the month. Great advise.
@davidellis5312
I really admire your commitment to helping new riders gain confidence and ability. Too many new riders give up because they make errors, have a few near misses, lose confidence and they stop enjoying it. Confidence is gained by listening to guys like you, instead of trying to emulate the show-offs.

This continues to be the best advice I've ever been given. After getting my license a year ago, the first thing a few other rides told me to do was spend money on louder pipes. Instead I took an intermediate course. I'm taking my 3rd class this month and looking forward to when I can take a 4th..
@RidgePowerEquipment
I have ridden for 40+ years, road raced, drag raced and never really studied the art of riding. After watching your videos, I love learning new techniques and old techniques I knew but did not know I knew. You are an excellent teacher by the way.
@TheBambooDeeer
As a new rider your videos are second to none when it comes to laying out the basics. Now if only I could bring you on all of my rides.

Hi,I'm 43 and from the UK,just starting my motorcycle life,yeah I've left it quite late in life 🤣just wanted to thank you for your informative and no nonsense guidance,we have quite stringent courses and exams in the UK in order for a rider to gain their full licence so any wisdom from an experienced person such as yourself is a massive help👍👍👍👍👍
@christopherjongte865
Came here after a crash. And I totally agree on the skill part. We really do have a really bad habit of underestimating our risks and skill level on the street. I was very lucky as my riding gear saved me and I came out with only a couple of bruises, scrapes and a swollen wrists. Will definitely keep in mind all these factors and tips that you have given on this video. Cheers. 👍
@michaelwren2992
Every Young motorcycle rider should see this!! Brilliant!!
@ThePreacherProclaims
:42 - 2:40 Awesome instruction on looking through the curve. Thanks for teaching it like THAT. Well done.
@planetwally
Came here looking for the bike with up / down handlebars :D

Hey, MotoJitsu, it's me again. I did something really stupid yesterday and instantly remembered this video. I tried to keep up with my friends when they were way ahead upfront. I pushed my self to the limit until my rear end slipped from gravel and had me rolling in the road. Thankfully, I didn't had any injuries, just worn gear. But the worst part is, my friends weren't there to help me. Guys, if I were you, I would take my time and enjoy instead of riding fast just to keep up. Edit: Spelling
@wordsmithgmxch
Wow! Every word, every drawing! Bang on! Especially --- "Invest in yourself!" Do that, and the rest will follow.
@spacetaco048
I wasn't too sure if I was ready yet for twisties until I tried an unfamiliar 35 mph road and looking for what I do good and do bad and using this video as reference helped me so much! Now I know it's back to the drawing board before I'm ready for the real twisties.
@wjb111
Fantastic points for anyone especially someone like me. Did the dirt bike thing years ago and got back into it 2 years ago with a dual sport. The road was all new to me with a major learning curve. Now upgraded to a HD which is a whole different animal being 750lbs vs the 320lb dual sport. Keep up the Great videos!

I've been riding 40+ yrs and I'm STILL learning tweeks and skills and tips from other riders. I am in the UK and used to ride with a whole bunch of guys who were all at different levels of skill and aptitude. I realised I needed to 'skill up' if I wanted to keep up but I wanted to keep up through skills ,knowledge and by practicing on my own. I took an IAM course and passed , I took a DIAMOND rider course and passed, I took a ROSPA course and passed(but not with the grade I felt I was capable of ). I became a CBT instructor not long after ( passed the assesment on second attempt, ) then I went onto do a DAS Course and assesment with the DVSA To be a DAS course assesor. I've trained lots of riders from total beginners up to older riders (back to biking courses) and I don't consider myself a 'highly skilled' rider but I do consider myself a SAFE rider. I go on ride outs and sometimes ride with others (but mostly on my own or with my partner on her bike). I 'people watch' or rider watch and sometimes they make me take a sharp intake of breath and wonder how they are still alive. I am no longer a bike instructor as the UK Licencing system is messed up and pushes younger riders away from learning. I loved the job more than any other job I'd ever had but could not be doing with authoritarian, officious, arrogant assesors, telling me I was doing it wrong when they themselves were lacking in safe skilled talent. My whole ethos of training was if you were my son, daughter, would I let you loose on public roads alone on two wheels. If I couldn't say yes to that question you didn't get my stamp of approval. Don't get the wrong impression here, it was for their OWN SAFETY. I've seen loads of accidentsand 'rtc's' as they like to call them in UK and nearly ALL of them were avoidable by the application of a simple riding sytem called the COAST principle. Concentration Observation, ANTICIPATION, (gives you) the SPACE & TIME to plan, react, and be proactive on your ride. Keep those spidey senses tingling, those eyes up and scanning, and don't ride like every ride is a race to the finish. (Or it may just be the finish, of your riding journey or even your life journey !) Keep it shiny side up ! Take care, and watch MR MOTO- JITSU he knows the script 👍😉
@niklashall5969
I say again - the best motorcycle training channel in YouTube, this guy doesn't exclude a single detail.
