Why do so many motorcyclists basically look for people, drivers to yell at? When I noticed myself doing this I said to myself, 'You got a bike to have fun…reacting like this is not fun.' After that, my rides were way more enjoyable.
Can't imagine how terrifying that must have been for the first bloke. Literally holding on sliding next to his ride, knowing in the back of his mind his bike was about to be totaled.
You still riding that Indian Dan Dan? What are you looking at next? I have an iron883 and I’m at that point where you were where I love it but am wanting something else, like a road king. Did you test ride before you found your current bike?
2nd rider was intentionally jumping the bridge. You can tell by all the run off tire tracks where he rolled into himself.
8:40 what bike's that? such a huge deflector
I cant even imagine what those 160mph speed wobbles felt like. Unreal
Why are people so angry? Dude, they live in the city. Wouldn't you be angry too?
Damn guys, why you always “surprised” by this wobles? Just not hold this handle bars as you last resort. You should be told at MSF school that you holding your bike with legs not with arms. Once you understood that concept, no wobles happens to you whatsoever(maybe if you trying to play street Rossi on 200mil/h, then it can happen considering road conditions, but for regular commuters, if you not holding to the handlebars like on bicycle, you be safe at any speed). If I hear someone telling that he catches wobling – I’m consider him as complete rookie who don’t want to learn how to ride properly, only learned how to open throttle.
P.S
Yes, it might happen also if your bike wasn’t in a good condition. Please make sure you check every part including suspension before starting a season.
Zero sympathy for going 160 at night. Just glad he didn't hurt anyone else.
I went from red stage to brown stage, luckily I was close to the toilet for my escape path. Now I am in white stage again.
8:53 did he not get hit from the rear??
120 mph should be prison sentence
That first one was WILDDD. That’ll make you shit yourself
17:30 i got T boned by someone running a red light at about the same speed, definitely triggered a lil PTSD watching this
i like to cruise, been riding since 1975 and im still going, i never got stupid on a bike, thats why i'm old now, and i'm still going strong, i never went over 75 or 80 miles an hour and that is on the interstate, for the love of god, slow the hell down
The Bunny biker was great 😂😂
man i use to like this channel but your click baiting thumbnail crashes..cmon man
Hey Dan, nice work with the vids. There's a certain city "culture" with roundabouts 3:54 which is basically follow the vehicle in front because once you're in the roundabout others have to give way. The other lesson for riders is to take the middle position in your lane so the vehicle behind doesn't feel "invited" to lane share. The rider did nothing wrong.
😂 and your perenium
Dan is a lifesaver. BUT, my Personal Protection Equipment is my brain, that tells me motorcycle riding on the street is fun but just way too dangerous, given the many factors beyond my control (i.e. animals, weather – rain, snow, cold, crazy car drivers, road problems, sun in eyes, blind spots, blind corners, blind and drunk car drivers), etc. etc. etc. The fun is not worth it anymore, for this motorcyclist. But your results may vary. Maybe you can predict a potential crash, steer, brake, down shift, rev-bomb and honk your way around these problems and live to ride another day? Me? No, I can't and didn't. I ran into a Lazyboy recliner on I-70 at 70+mph, at night, right after passing a semi., who narrowly avoided running me over. Escaped injury due to wearing actual PPE, and dumb luck. The road surface is like a big grinder against your body! Gear can't and doesn't always protect you. Not realizing you're SO much better protected in a car, w/ metal surrounding you, airbags and seatbelt just in case, and choosing some safer hobby / passion / transportation to make your day and tomorrow brighter and more likely experienced, is ludicrous.
Barril dobrado the crash
that stooge at two twenty had to take "invasive action" OMG our schools…..
0:54 someone buy this person a lotto ticket…
Most people don't set their suspension and keep it factory settings and don't change the fork oil. Can be a reason why so many tank slappers happen on the road when speed gets high. Why is it a great job at 3:38 – cruiser was way too close and has to be prepared for someone up front to make a sudden stop or sudden slow down. They weren't using proper awareness at all and carried too much speed when it was clear riders were already slowing.
Dan Dan the fireman. You are the man but you miss some things here n there. The speed wobbles. Almost every single video I see on here that are speed wobbles, they are started because of the rider. They almost all start the wobble from jerking the throttle so hard when shifting. It's like going 120 and having someone punch one side of your bars as hard as they can. They wanna shift fast and are going fast and don't realize how hard they jerk the throttle. 8 out of 10 wobbles are that. The 9th is something broken or worn, the 10th is a bump.
I just wanna say thank you so much for making these videos, I‘m just starting off on a 1992 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 and this helps me a lot to understand how to handle different situations. Dropped my bike twice at a gas station and I’m still building confidence to get on the big roads but these videos help.
Hey Dan, I’ve watched you for awhile now. Thanks for reacting and featuring the video. Typically I’m a very defensive, smart rider… haha we screw up sometimes
Id ride past that karen and rev bomb her just to piss her off more. Yes, I know that adds to the problem, but screw karen.
I drive a nissan so up yours dan unsubscribed.
Where is the intro pic with scattered riders and red arrows in the video?
Every single of these videos is either:
-somebody going way over safe speeds
-going in the wrong lane
-not leaving enough braking distance
-overtaking from the right
-going between cars where obviously you shouldn't be going between cars
Rarely do I see any actual vis major where all you can say is "shit just happened"
The "sportbikes" you see on the roads today were only seen on the racetrack prior to the mid-80's. After that they were sold to anyone on the street. Most people rode upright position "standard" bikes. I think they should have remained on the track in the hands of professional racers. There's too many nuts posting their videos of standing on the seat wheelies mixed in with highway traffic usually wearing t-shirt,shorts &sneakers.
That 160+mph speed wobble crash rider was lucky to not have slid into the side road barrier as there's a good chance he'd be split in half sliding at that speed.😬
(12:05) French car drivers, get cha every time! (17:13) Looks like that guy pulled that stunt in a school zone too, sign board on the right.
I don’t like cops but I bet Dan would’ve man a good cop because of his demeanor; not egotistical, just wants people to know and do the right things. He’s an easy guy to listen to and learn from 👍🏾
Pretty sure that second bike is a tnt 135.
can't help stupid
Let go of the throttle
If you’re really furious you can just fold up a mirror of a car, don’t need to slap it 😅
Im trying to find some better leg protection. Ive been wearing leather chaps for ages, but i really want something with some hip protection. I ride almost every day, so im looking for overpants or something like that. Any suggestions?
Love your lessons, keep up the great work!
