@SamTankko
I really appreciate you showing what the foot brake and foot shifting look like. No one in my family or friends rides motorcycles, but I want to. A lot of the motorcycle language is completely foreign to me, like clutch, throttle, torque, etc., which are extremely unfamiliar words, but this video and many others are so helpful. I’m so thankful you help people like me who don’t have any mentors.
@jentill1034
Your videos are always sooooo helpful! I'm 58, passed my MSF in November 2024, and get out for short trips as much as i can (hit and miss warm days this winter) on my Ninja 500. I just wish i could learn to downshift properly with a blip and not fear traffic so much. I'm pushing myself to get outside that comfort zone, and again, you are helping with the process and it is VERY MUCH appreciated! Have a happy healthy new year!!!
@xamiworldwide8085
This is probably the best video I’ve watched on this subject! I’ve been watching 100s of videos trying to find the exact proper ways to gear change, stop, and clutch control for beginners. And this is by far the most instructional video. Thanx Petro!
@marcbellavance7982
I have watched all 3 of your videos and I find them to be very well made with extremely good pointers of things to start off with and things to be aware of. I will definitely put into practice as many of your suggestions as possible.
@titojimmymotorvlog1396
Thanks, man. I’m a 5’4” dwarf. Your vids make me gain confidence riding big bikes. See you on the road!
@kristy5840
Omg this was so helpful! I am a new rider and have learned all of the basics but was having trouble putting them all together to actually be in traffic situations. Thanks so much.
@shadrackmlangeni8025
Bro thanks a lot for the information you shared in your channel, i'm doing my motobike Licence this December. with your information i already know how to ride a motorbike. Salute
@jusswinchestur779
I did my CBT a month ago and didn’t pass because the instructor wasn’t happy with my gear shifting/clutch control. But honestly, as an instructor, I wasn’t happy with how little help and instruction he provided to me as a first-time rider (who doesn’t drive a car either). I feel like this 15-minute video was more helpful than the 4-hour course I spent that day on.
@bozhidar-petrov
I did not finish the video yet but I appreciate how clearly he speaks and explains. English is not my native language but this guy’s speech is flawless.
@Bluebutterfly80
I just want to say that I’m on Chapter 3 of your ebook and so far it’s really great. It’s really well written and easy to understand. It’s definitely come along at the exact right time for my motorcycle journey. I’m excited to continue.
@feesh-b2x
These are the kind of videos where you can understand it even if the video is just black screen.
@TwistedFate123
Thank you for these videos. As a literal newbie rider buying my first motorcycle these tips help out a lot.
