What's up guys, mjBikeLife. We're going to talk to you guys about offensive driving versus offensive driving. Well riding, I guess it would be because you don't know their tweeter or more or less like or whatever. But it comes to, it comes to the motorcycle my best thing, my opinion is how you should ride it as you should ride offensive. You should always ride like there's someone trying to cause you harm on a motorcycle. If you get too comfortable on a bike and you think that you're invisible and stuff like that, that's usually when that slip up is going to happen. So what I do, whenever I'm riding, I always think like, oh, the hit comes to car, the car is going to hit me, hit comes to car, this car is going to hit me. This dog right here is going to cross the street and get hit and it's going to cause me to go off the road, something stupid like that. I'll always think that stuff just because you never know what the other people are thinking. You've got pretty much to take life into your own hands when you're riding a bike. You have to look at your bike and see that it's not a car, it's not a cage. You're not behind all this metal, so if you can get pumped, just sidetracked anything, you fly off of your bike unless you've got a lot of good gear. Even if you do have a lot of good gear, it's not going to feel the best, it's going to hurt. And it could be that one hurt that that enter life, unfortunately. But I'm riding a bike, I always think that someone else is always out there trying to try to take me out. So I ride offensive meeting at a light, I'll stay at four o'clock as I can, I wish there was lean splitting into Jersey because then I would just wait and land to go right to the front of the traffic at the light so that I would have to worry about something flowering behind me and smash me into the car and front of me. But I would, if I'm always out of light, I always try to get right in the front, so that I don't have to worry about it when really around me in the back. Also, when I'm out of light, when that light turns green, I take off pretty quickly, not to show how bad I ask my 250 is, even though it's pretty fucking bad-ass. But it's to stay out of that time of danger, to stay out of that point where that car might be trying to do something funny and if you take off quick, you don't have to worry about the car behind you, hitting you, you don't have to worry about any piles of, you can't wait from that light as quickly as possible. And I don't give you the best chance of staying out of danger, if danger would ever arise. Another thing that I do when it comes to, when it comes to, like riding on highways and things like that, if I'm ever coming out next to a car, I'll actually pull up as far away from that car as I can. I don't want to be anywhere near that car when I'm pulling up into that lane. Just because of the simple fact that who knows the second I go to get in that lane, if that car is going to want to come over into my lane or something like that, so I always try to stay at least a bunch of feet away from that car. Like if you're supposed to be driving in the right lane and you're supposed to stay all the way to the left, then I would go all the way to the right just to stay far away from that car. Because if they ever do try to come into the lane, at least I know I have enough reaction time to where I could just, you know, quickly counter steer away from it or sometimes evasive maneuver to get away from them so that I don't end up getting hit by them because that would be pretty bad. That's like one of my tips in the highways. When it comes to dealing with stop signs, like if I'm coming to a stop sign, I tend to look behind me a lot just because I don't know if that person is going to be behind me and they're going to try and take me out or something like that. So always look behind me and make sure just in case so that they're not speeding through the stop sign. But I also want to pull up relatively far enough to see over that line when it comes to the stop sign. Just so that I can see the car is coming down, but I'm also not far enough out to where, if that car were to slip up or something like that, and the V-R-Off course or something, that they wouldn't end up taking me out. Maybe that can add that in front of me and that I would keep or something like that, just so if anything does go wrong, you're out far enough so you can see so you can react. But you've got to be able to have stuff to save you too. I was watching one of Cycle Cruiser's video and he said something about when he rides, he rides always to the right side of the lane. And I know in the manual the Jersey is sensitive to the left side, to say like a foot or so away from the yellow line on the left side, but I personally agree with Cycle Cruiser when it comes to the right side of the lane. Because if you ever fall, you're pretty close to that other lane that's passing. So you kind of are almost shit out of luck if you fall, you're falling right into the lane. It's not good news. So I stay to the right and if I'm on to the right, then at least I could beer off to the side and go towards like brushes and stuff like that that will slow me down. Or I could even just have some more reaction time if I go down, then at least slide in the lane and it will go outside of the lane or at least as much as it would if I was on the left. Another thing that's good when you're doing a offensive driving or driving safe, riding safe or whatever is your visibility on you. If you're riding, you're wearing all black and it's getting dark out. There's more than likely a chance that people aren't going to see you as much as they would as if you said you had a high-viss jacket or reflective jacket or something like that. So that's also a pretty important standpoint. When it comes to riding, there's always trying to have high visibility stuff on you. All the jackets I have, they're all of black color, but when it gets dark, I actually carry around like a high-viss jacket. I have a bottom-up of warmer. It's like 14 bucks. It's like a vest that you put over. Yeah, I actually bought one and it's... It's actually been working out pretty well. I used that one at nighttime. Another important tip you want to think about also is you're riding, you want to have... I know a lot of hell is coming like tip vizers and they look cool and stuff, but if it starts to get dark, that tip device is not doing anything for you. So you want to make sure that you either bring another viser with you or you... You either bring an un-tinted viser or something else like that. Because the last time I was out, it was pretty dark. You were eating or something like that. It got really dark like really quick. And I didn't even have signs to switch devices up. And because I didn't have time to switch the vizers, it was like... It was really dark. So I actually had the ride on the highway doing 50, 60 miles an hour with the viser up. And let me tell you, when I got home, my eyes were all red from the sand coming up from the cars. And like... It was not a fun experience. And this is one of those times that I wish I had like a... I wish I had like another viser, but I didn't have one on me. What else? What else? Yeah. I don't know. I guess that's pretty much it. When you're driving, I mean when you're riding, you want to ride offensively. You want to be in control of your own life because the people that are out there, they're not going to be in control of it for you. So... In my opinion, ride offensively. As you know, speed causes most of the accidents around here. So try to just keep the speed to a minimum. But if your speed is good and you're staying away from cars, or trying to stay away from cars as best as possible, you should have absolutely no problem. And yeah, that's my video. MJ Bike Life Vlogger now? I don't know. I don't know what I think for an outro, but yeah, this is the end of the video. MJ Bike Life. Later.
