This book is going to help you understand the important “dos and don’ts” of the motorcycling world!
Get the guide —–
➡️ Improper Use of Vision:
Vision is the most critical skill we can develop for riding a motorcycle. The two most critical locations on the road where we make mistakes are at intersections and when we’re cornering.
➡️ Failing to Predict Danger (Situational Awareness):
Our brains are constantly analyzing trends in an effort to make predictions. The brain performs this function in an effort to predict danger and maximize our self-preservation. Predicting danger within our environment means we need to identify, process, and comprehend the critical elements of information about what is happening to survive our ride.
➡️ Overestimate Riding Abilities (Riding Within Limits):
To be successful riders, we’ll need to be able to understand the difference between the risks we are taking and the skills we actually possess.
➡️ Underestimate Effects of Aging:
We spend billions of dollars in this country to try to stop and even reverse the effects of aging. If we misunderstand the effect aging is having on our ride, we can unwittingly add risk to our ride.
➡️ Accepting More Risk Through Less Riding Gear:
Personal protective equipment designed for motorcycling is necessary to reduce our risk and increase riding enjoyment. The less we wear, the more we increase our risk.

At 4:06 it kinda looks like that red sedan in the center lane almost merged and clipped you DDTF
how can you give advice about riding with that one mirror under the handlebar ?
Hey DDTF! I'm loving your channel bro! As a former Navy Test Parachutist, I don't think you should ride and talk at the same time. I've seen many of these motovlogs, and EVERYTIME, the "talking while riding" is a distraction in of itself. If you watch this again, you will see a few times, where your position was compromised. Again, I love the show, bro, just try to reflect on what just happened caught on video, in post production. OR NOT. In my opinion, It's just safer.
Love your videos, but noticed something about 10:15 into it….You rolled through a white line and through a crosswalk, stopping for the light. Or that's what it looked like! Here in Maryland we stop before those lines.
Over Sixty, I am an 25 year old aggressive rider when I'm on my bikes. Every rider gets just one fatal mistake. Keep that always in mind and ride safe!
Great info as always Dan. My bad habit I unknowingly developed while riding my V Rod Muscle. I could full throttle it without worrying about a wheelie or looping it. THEN, I got a 2018 ZX14R😏. You DON’T even think about snapping that throttle like you can on an HD. So I left it in low power mode and KTRAC 3, until I UNlearned that dangerous habit. It’s weird how you can develop habits and only realize them when you straddle another machine.
Wait, other people don't look downwards whilst walking?
Hey Dan. Do you think your back hurts because you're riding a cruiser? They look amazing, but biomechanically they put you in a really compromised position. You cant support any of your weight with your legs, so all that weight is dumped into your spine via your butt . I've got back injuries, so forward controls just aren't an option.
Totally agree with everything, especially good points were the age and diminishing abilities and gear.
Wear those darn glasses, and get driving shades with your prescription, as they will help you mitigate some of the risk. Get your eyes checked out every now and then, like every year or two – not just for aging, but there are also eye problems an optician can spot; can’t drive worth a damn if you’re blind and losing sight in one eye will also throw a big wrench in your depth perception. I can tell, because by a quirk of some neurological development and/or genetics, I don’t have fully functioning stereo vision. I can drive all right, but I won’t be attending a track day, ever.
Also: gear. Around these parts, there’s an old saw about how there’s two kinds of bikers – those who have dropped their bike, and those that will.
Also, accidents happen, and like Dan said – you’re very, very vulnerable. Last summer I did this 5k km bike trip, ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm, across Sweden to say hi to buddy who’s living in Gothenburg, then to Oslo, Bergen and up, up to Narvik, then back home near Helsinki, all the way “down” through Finland.
Had been planning for that trip for coming on a decade. Hadn’t planned on dropping my bike. Did it anyway.
The first day in Sweden, got down from a highway to get some gas, was in a T intersection, waiting for a Mercedes in front of me go. 20 years of experience told me that a Mercedes, once in motion, wouldn’t stop… so when it got moving, I looked left to see if I could slip in after the Mercedes… and slid a bit forward, just slipped some force on the clutch… and crack.
See, it wasn’t the Mercedes’ owner, who wouldn’t have stopped, it was her inexperienced daughter, license for less than a year, and she did precisely the right thing: she double-checked to make sure she could go.
110% my damn fault. I should have looked ahead before releasing the clutch.
And I didn’t just rear-end her, I of course lost balance and dropped the bike on its right side. Keeled right over. Cracked some plastic, lost the end of my break lever and nearly totaled a blinker.
Two days later, same trip, I’m turning the bike around on a gravel/rock parking lot of a camping area, when apparently my front wheel rolls or slips over a rock. One second I’m up & all right, second I’m again on my right side, wondering wtf just happened.
Now, in either situation, I didn’t hit my head, helmet is still pristine. But I did bang my leg, right arm, elbow, had some bruises and a small sprain.
But… had I not been wearing my gear – boots, pants, jacket, gloves, helmet, I might have had a broken bone or two, in either, near to zero speed drops. I could easily have cracked my skull.
Wear the gear. It’ll protect you.
I’m fine, I fixed the plastics myself, wanted to upgrade the blinkers anyway, and my son-in-law will re-paint the plastics professionally. All’s good. In terms of role playing games, I just got about 2k EXP points and +2 humility.
I'm a new rider from Medellín – Colombia where the traffic is chaotic, thanks to your videos I'm more aware of what to look on the street to keep myself safe. Your videos are priceless!
