Hi guys. Jordan. Yeah. I thought I would do a video on tips and tricks for learning to ride a motorcycle that are kind of somewhat relevant to Australia, or particularly in South Wales, which is where I work to ride. And I thought it might be appropriate to do so whilst riding the motorcycle. That is a lovely motorcycle right there. That's like the T25B, yeah, T25B. Love that. Anyway, so before I purchase a motorcycle, I did the pre-learn a course with heart incident and I'd only ever ridden a motorcycle once off road very badly before that point. So you could say I was very much in office. I have to say that course taught me like from scratch. They did a great job teaching me how to ride from assumed zero knowledge, which is nice. I had ridden a driven a car before that, which was manual. So that helped a lot with the gears and everything, though they didn't really expect you to know how gears work. It just helped with the clutch a lot. And I just wanted to say that it's a lot easier to learn. How to operate a manual motorcycle because it's a wet clutch generally and it's a lot harder to kind of burn the clutch. So that's quite fun. But pretty much you can just kind of start with nothing and learn from the heart course that they do. They also offer like an additional course which costs a bit more money. In case you're still not comfortable and that's something I definitely recommend if you're not comfortable. But if you already know how a manual gearbox works, definitely just do the heart course because it's good. It works and that's H-A-R-T. I don't know. There's some other service providers in Sydney. I don't know how good they are, but the heart one definitely works. So just do it. The kind of second test, the P's provisional, the pre-provisional test I think it's called, which is the complicated low speed maneuver test. That's a bit tricky. And I know that you can kind of do that after only having three months experience riding a motorcycle. I recommend not just going straight for the test until you're really comfortable doing those low speed maneuvers. It just makes it, makes you a lot more confident and that's pretty much all it is it's confidence in passing that test. But something that you can do before even the pre-learned test, which is the first one where they assume no knowledge, is just practicing riding a bicycle really slowly and just doing like U-turns and like just figuring out how to control a handlebars at low speeds, like very low speeds, like a hundred and five kilometers, ten kilometers an hour, because it's completely different at high speeds. And they don't really test, there's only one test at, you know, and it goes to 20 kilometers an hour and then it's a hard break. So it's really, it's that's it. It's just, yeah, steering a motorcycle is completely different at high speeds than it is to low speeds, which is quite interesting. Yeah, it's almost counter-intuitive. Like at once you're going over 20 kilometers, if you lean left on the handlebars, you'll go left like that. And if you lean right, you'll go right. It doesn't make sense. You think because you're turning the handlebar left, but you're going right, please explain. Yeah, so there is that. And yeah, that's kind of, I started on a, so the test are all, you can do all the tests on their motorbikes, which are like little CB125E's I think, on 125, 6-in motorbikes. And like they're great, they're easy to maneuver. The seating position is quite upright, so if they're not used to that, that's a bit of a problem. But you know what? It's not in the end of the world. Yeah, and what else? I reckon, so I started out on a 250cc bicycle, and I upgraded a year later, approximately to a 650cc bicycle motorcycle. It just got a bit like underpowered for me. I just want it to go a bit faster, like accelerate a bit faster. I can't really go much faster anyway. So yeah, if that's like if you do the tests and whatever, and after your like provisional tests, you still feel like it's a bit slow. You can get some really good like 250, even 650cc motorbikes that have ABS for like $3,000, $4,000. And I definitely recommend getting a motorcycle with ABS. My first one did not, and I wasn't very good at braking at first, so it'd be quite a bit of a skidding. Obviously don't do that. That being said, ABS will not train you how to brake properly, but ABS is becoming compulsory and all bikes over the bike, I did fair point shortly. Yeah, that's kind of the tips and tricks. Like 650cc motorcycles are a lot heavier than a 250, so keep that in mind. But yeah, that's it. Thanks for listening fellas and girls for feeling listening. Have a good one.
