Sound advice and motorcycle wisdom from a rider with a few miles under his belt.
Cold weather riding takes more than heated gloves and a warmer jacket. When the temperature drops, your motorcycle tires take longer to build grip, and your cold hands make your braking and throttle inputs slower and rougher than you realize, even if you’ve been riding for decades. In this video, we talk about what cold…
Brake checking a tailgater on a motorcycle might feel like the right way to get a driver off your bumper, but it puts nearly all the risk on the rider. In this video I share a real road-rage encounter that started with nothing more than a flash of my taillights and ended with a driver…
Riding a motorcycle that isn’t yours, whether it’s a rental on a tour, a demo ride at a dealership, or a new bike you just brought home, takes more adjustment than many experienced riders expect. Your hands learned the clutch and front brake on your own bike, and those habits don’t carry over the way…
Riding in a group changes how you make decisions on a motorcycle, and most riders don’t notice it happening until the leader gets it wrong. In this video I tell a real story from a motorcycle dealership demo ride in Dallas, where the group leader made a last-second wrong turn in heavy highway traffic that…
Reaction time, vision, and grip strength all change as you get older — and most riders never adjust their technique to keep up with it. In this video, a clip of Hulk Hogan pulling a motorcycle into a parking lot raises a simple question: if it wasn’t strength holding that bike up, what was? Whether…
Riding in a group feels safer than riding alone — more eyes on the road, more people looking out for you. But the habits that keep you safe solo don’t automatically carry over once four or five other riders fall in behind you, and most riders never notice the difference until something goes wrong. In…
Somewhere in a parking lot years ago, an instructor set up two rows of cones and taught you to swerve. At 15 miles an hour, in a controlled space, that swerve works every time — so most of us filed it away as a skill we own. But the swerve you practiced at 15 changes…
I had a motorcycle death wobble at 45 mph — on a brand new front tire. In this video, I show you the actual footage of my speed wobble, explain what causes a death wobble (sometimes called a tank slapper), and walk through exactly what your hands should do the moment the handlebars start shaking.…
Are you unknowingly pushing your brain past its breaking point on every ride? In this motorcycle safety training video, I break down the hidden psychological trap that forces riders into sudden tunnel vision and dangerously slow reaction times on the street. While many motorcyclists focus solely on defensive riding drills and physical lane positioning, the…
If your strategy for staying alive on a motorcycle relies on watching the brake lights of the car directly in front of you, you are riding on borrowed time and letting someone else’s reaction time dictate your survival. In this video, I break down the “bumper lock” trap that keeps most riders stuck in a…
