VIDEO series - How to ride a motorcycle

-=youngrider=- · 09-17-2007, 04:58 PM

Found this on Youtube when doing some research on bikes. I don't own a bike, and i haven't driven one before so I found these videos to be EXTREMELY helpful. Definately worth the 7 or so minutes per video. Best piece of information I have ever found next to the article on howstuffworks.com about how motorcycles work. Which most of you guys didn't give a flip about...but oh well. The credit goes to 13mordeth, and i don't know his real name so of course I had to use his youtube username. Watch and learn!

Oh and apparently his mordith13 account got banned for some crap. So now he is moordeth13 instead of mordeth13...sneaky sneaky

This was one of the first videos I watched on youtube. I was very interested in bikes and when I saw that video, I thought it very helpful as well. Of course that was I believe 8-9 months ago when I saw it. Then I somehow found this forum.

basic and good info. very well explained, if not even overly thorough. Enjoyed it completely. Hope for more like this... perhaps could turn it into a large sticky with lots of informative videos from the free video sites.... motorcycle related of course

that would actually be a really good idea...I saw numerous other videos involving how to ride a bike and also bikes in general. Thanks for the move, I had no clue there was a videos section, but that just made my day better! Plus this thread is called "Video SERIES - how to ride a motorcycle". So we might as well make it a series and anybody and everybody can just add to the wealth of n00b information videos now. Anyone else up for a sticky?

I love how mordeth13 is a Canadian who used to live in the US but now lives in Taiwan (I think it was Taiwan, maybe Tailand, I'm at school so I can't exactly look it up). I got a kick out of that...those sport bike riders drive like nuts there, though. And they wonder why the cops always pull them over?
