0:00Let's get real for a second. Stepping on
0:02a motorcycle and hitting the road is
0:04pure freedom, but there are nine fears
0:06quietly sitting between [music] you and
0:08the best decision you will ever make.
0:10Every new rider has them.
0:12Every returning rider has them.
0:15Most people let these fears decide for
0:17them, then spend the next decade [music]
0:19watching other people actually live the
0:20thing they talked themselves out of.
0:23Not a single [music] one is as real as
0:25it feels. Everyone has a simple
0:27learnable fix. Today we count them down,
0:30call them out, and hand you the
0:31confidence to get on the bike. Let's get
0:33into it right now.
0:36Number nine, the fear of dropping the
0:38bike. You are going to drop it. That is
0:41the fear. In a parking lot, at a stop
0:43sign, during your very first low-speed
0:46U-turn. You are going to tip a 400-lb
0:49machine sideways onto [music] the ground
0:50in front of strangers, and it is going
0:53to be expensive and humiliating at the
0:55exact same time.
0:57Here is why that fear feels so real.
1:00Motorcycles [music] do not have a
1:01kickstand of last resort. Cars have four
1:04contact points and will happily stand
1:06still all day without any human input.
1:10A motorcycle has two, [music] and at
1:12very low speeds, under about 12 mph,
1:15gyroscopic stabilization practically
1:18disappears, and the bike becomes
1:20genuinely [music] top-heavy and wants to
1:22fall.
1:23New riders feel this the moment they
1:25slow down, and their entire body tenses
1:27[music] up, which delightfully makes
1:29everything dramatically worse. Here is
1:31the part the fear gets completely wrong.
1:34Every single motorcycle [music]
1:35rider on Earth has dropped a bike. The
1:37ones who say they have not are lying or
1:40have not ridden enough yet. A slow-speed
1:42tip-over [music]
1:43almost never damages anything
1:45structural. A lever bends, maybe a
1:47mirror scratches. The bike is ridable
1:50immediately. The ego takes the real
1:52damage, and egos [music] are remarkably
1:54good at healing within about 20 minutes.
1:57The fix is look where you want to go.
1:59>> [music]
1:59>> Your eyes drive your body, your body
2:01drives the bike. Stare at the spot you
2:04are terrified of [music] and you will
2:05ride directly into it every single time.
2:08Pick your eyes up to the exit of the
2:10turn or the open space ahead and the
2:13bike follows your gaze with almost zero
2:15conscious steering input.
2:17Practice this in an [music] empty
2:18parking lot at walking pace until it
2:20feels automatic.
2:22It works the first [music] time you try
2:24it and that moment is deeply satisfying.
2:27Professional racing instructors spend
2:28the first hour of every beginner course
2:31on exactly this, slow speed cone
2:33patterns in a car park. Teaching eye
2:36position above braking, above throttle,
2:39above everything else. Brand new riders
2:41who cannot complete a basic U-turn at
2:439:00 in the morning are carving
2:45confident tight turns by 11:00. The
2:48technique works that fast because it is
2:50not fighting new skills.
2:51>> [music]
2:51>> It is replacing a bad habit with one
2:54that works with the physics instead of
2:55against it. Parking lots are survivable.
2:58But here is where a lot of new riders
3:00really tense [music] up. The moment the
3:02on-ramp opens up and traffic is moving.
3:05The fear of highway riding is next and
3:08the reality is much simpler than the
3:10fear makes it feel.
3:11Number eight, the fear of highway
3:13[music] speeds. 75 mph on two wheels
3:17feels genuinely insane the first time.
3:19The wind hits [music] you like a
3:20physical object. Everything happens
3:23faster. Passing trucks create a bow wave
3:26that pushes you away [music] and then a
3:28suction pull that drags you back in.
3:30If something goes wrong at that speed,
3:33the consequences feel incomparably worse
3:35than anything that can happen in a
3:36parking lot.
3:38This is a completely logical fear. The
3:40brain is not being irrational here.
3:43What the brain is getting wrong is the
3:44physics. [music]
3:45A stable, properly inflated motorcycle
3:48at highway speed is actually more stable
3:51than at low speed, not less.
3:53Gyroscopic forces from both spinning
3:55wheels [music] increase dramatically
3:57with speed, actively resisting any force
3:59that tries to knock the bike off its
4:01line.
4:02The bike wants to [music] track straight
4:03at 65 mph. It is trying to go straight.
4:07>> [music]
4:07>> The instability you feel is almost
4:09entirely in your hands and arms, not in
4:11the chassis. The chassis is fine. Your
4:14grip is the problem. The single most
4:17transformative thing a new highway rider
4:19can do costs absolutely nothing.
4:22Relax your grip.
4:24A death grip on the handlebar grips
4:26transmits every vibration, every wind
4:29gust, and every small wobble directly
4:31into your nervous system, amplifying it
4:33into something that feels like the bike
4:35is actively disintegrating.
4:37Loose, relaxed wrists mean the bars can
4:39move slightly with the wind and then
4:41self-correct, which is exactly what they
4:43are engineered to do.
4:45Your hands should be in contact with the
4:47grips, not fused to them.
4:50Practice consciously unclinching your
4:52forearms while keeping light, controlled
4:54contact. The difference is immediate.
4:57Ask any long-distance tourer about their
4:59first highway ride versus their
5:01hundredth. The universal answer, without
5:03exception,
5:04>> [music]
5:04>> is that the buffeting completely
5:06disappears as a concern by trip three or
5:08four, not because the wind [music]
5:10stopped, but because relaxed arms
5:12stopped transmitting it as panic. The
5:15bike was completely fine the entire
5:16time. The nervous system simply needed a
5:19few sessions [music] to stop
5:20catastrophizing every gust.
5:22Highway riding is not dangerous. Tense
5:25highway riding is uncomfortable. There
5:27is a significant difference. Highway
5:29nerves are a grip problem.
5:31But what about when the sky opens up
5:34while you are already out there?
5:36Rain has its own special category of
5:38dread, and most of it is built on a
5:40fundamental misunderstanding of how
5:42motorcycle tires actually work in wet
5:45conditions. Number seven, the fear of
5:48riding in the rain. The mental image is
5:50vivid and it is terrifying. Wet road,
5:53corner, tire [music] slides,
5:56catastrophic exit. The brain conjures
5:59this scenario with remarkable speed and
6:01genuine commitment every time dark
6:03clouds appear on the horizon. And to be
6:05fair to the brain, wet roads do reduce
6:08available grip significantly. That part
6:11is completely [music] true. So, the fear
6:13is not irrational. It is just aimed at
6:16the wrong [music] target.
6:17Modern motorcycle tires have enormous
6:19grip reserves even in genuinely wet
6:22conditions, far more than most riders
6:24ever use [music] on a normal dry street
6:26ride.
6:27The scenarios that actually cause rain
6:29crashes are specific and almost entirely
6:32avoidable. Painted road markings, metal
6:35drain covers, [music]
6:36the greasy film of diesel fuel sitting
6:38in the tire tracks near fuel station
6:40entrances, and the first 15 minutes of
6:42rainfall before road oils get washed
6:44away. These are known, mappable hazards,
6:48not random [music] catastrophic bad
6:49luck. The rider who knows about them is
6:52already 90% safer than the one who does
6:55not. The fix lives in the front brake
6:57lever [music] and specifically in how
6:59you apply it. In the wet, a sudden front
7:02brake grab is the number one cause of
7:04front wheel washouts. Progressive brake
7:06application [music] means squeezing the
7:08lever gradually over half a second
7:10rather than snatching it.
7:12Build pressure, hold it,
7:14release the same way.
7:16Add 20% more stopping distance than you
7:19think you need, then add a bit more
7:21anyway.
7:22Smooth, deliberate, [music] progressive.
7:25That is the entire wet weather braking
7:27philosophy in five words. Motorcycle
7:29couriers, police officers, and [music]
7:32postal delivery riders ride in rain
7:34every single day in cities with far more
7:37complex traffic [music] and far worse
7:39surfaces than most recreational riders
7:42see in a year. Their crash rate in wet
7:44[music] conditions is not dramatically
7:46higher because smooth inputs are muscle
7:48memory for them. They do not think about
7:50it. They just do it. Rain riding is a
7:53skill. [music]
7:54You are not excluded from learning it.
7:56Imagine standing in front of a bike you
7:58want, the [music] seller swearing it's
8:00perfect. That's where riders overpay by
8:03thousands on a $10,000 bike.
8:06Our buyers kit tells you [music] what
8:08it's really worth, your fair price, and
8:10when to walk away. A wrong bike [music]
8:13costs thousands.
8:15This kit, just $49.
8:18The easiest money you'll ever save. Scan
8:21the QR on the right or tap the link in
8:23the description.
8:25Let's get that bike you've always wanted
8:27for even cheaper.
8:28Rain is manageable with technique.
8:31But what about the fear that exists
8:32before you even get onto a challenging
8:34road? The quiet, paralyzing suspicion
8:37that your engine is simply too powerful
8:39[music]
8:40for a human being to safely control.
8:42This one might actually surprise you.
8:45Number six, the fear of a powerful
8:48engine.
8:49The fear goes like this.
8:50All that power is sitting there right
8:52under you, waiting to be accidentally
8:55deployed by one clumsy wrist movement.
8:58One wrong input and you are a vertical
9:00trajectory toward the sky with a rapidly
9:03expanding insurance claim below you.
9:05The internet [music] is full of videos
9:07of people looping bikes on on ramps,
9:09accidentally wheeling in car parks, and
9:12high siding out of corners in
9:13spectacular fashion.
9:15These videos get millions of views
9:17because they are spectacular and
9:19alarming.
9:20The brain files them under this will
9:22definitely happen to me with alarming
9:25speed and total conviction.
9:27Here is what those videos are not
9:29showing you. The throttle position at
9:31the moment everything went wrong. Power
9:33is only dangerous at high throttle
9:35opening. A 600 horsepower car is not
9:38dangerous in a car park.
9:40Neither is a 100-horsepower motorcycle.
9:42The throttle tube, the hard plastic tube
9:45directly underneath your rubber grip,
9:47controls exactly how much power reaches
9:49the rear wheel, and that tube is
9:51controlled by your wrist at whatever
9:53pace you choose. No motorcycle has ever
9:55grabbed its own throttle. The power is
9:57completely [music]
9:58inert until you ask for it, and you get
10:00to decide exactly how much and exactly
10:03how fast. The technique is called a
10:05progressive throttle roll-on, and it is
10:08almost insultingly simple. Instead of
10:11snapping the throttle open like a light
10:12switch, you rotate the throttle [music]
10:14tube with your wrist opening gradually.
10:17Think of it as a volume dial, not an
10:19on-off switch. In the first three gears
10:22below 30 mph, where powerful bikes are
10:25most responsive, a smooth gradual
10:27roll-on produces a confident, controlled
10:30launch that feels completely manageable
10:33at any engine size. A snap produces
10:35drama. The difference between those two
10:37outcomes is entirely in how slowly you
10:39open your wrist.
10:41Professional motorcycling schools
10:43deliberately teach students on larger
10:44bikes with experienced instructors
10:47standing [music] nearby, specifically
10:49because they want riders learning
10:50correct throttle technique on the
10:52machines they will actually own. The
10:54consistent finding is that students who
10:56learn a smooth roll-on on a 600cc
10:59machine immediately apply it correctly.
11:02The skill transfers. The fear does not
11:05follow it. Power is completely
11:07manageable with smooth inputs.
11:09Different fear now, and this one is
11:11specific, the kind that does not fully
11:13go away even for experienced riders on
11:16unfamiliar roads.
11:18The moment you tip into a corner and
11:19genuinely have no idea where the limit
11:21is. Number five, the fear of cornering.
11:25Leaning the bike over feels [music] like
11:26falling. Your entire survival instinct,
11:29the The that has been keeping you alive
11:31since childhood [music]
11:33is screaming that tilting a vehicle to
11:35one side is how you crash it.
11:37Every corner on an unfamiliar road
11:39involves a genuine moment of uncertainty
11:41about whether you are leaning too far,
11:44going too fast, or about to run wide
11:46into [music] a ditch or an oncoming
11:48lane.
11:49And the physics of motorcycle cornering
11:50are, to be blunt, genuinely strange
11:53[music] in a way that does not help.
11:55To turn right on a motorcycle, you
11:57briefly push forward on the right bar,
11:59which [music] first steers the wheel
12:00left before the bike leans right and
12:02carves the turn.
12:04Your body knows this makes no [music]
12:05logical sense. The brain resists it. New
12:08riders often unconsciously push against
12:11the lean,
12:12their instinct fighting the physics,
12:14which does the [music] exact opposite of
12:16what is needed and sends them drifting
12:18wide toward exactly the thing they were
12:20trying to avoid. The reality that makes
12:22all of this manageable, a motorcycle in
12:25a lean angle is in dynamic equilibrium.
12:28The centripetal force from the turn
12:30exactly counteracts gravity.
12:33Physics is managing the lean for you.
12:35You do not need to fight it. You need to
12:37trust it.
12:39Modern street tires have lean
12:40capabilities dramatically beyond
12:42anything a normal street rider will ever
12:44use. Most riders access about 30% of
12:47available cornering grip on a normal
12:49ride. There is an enormous margin
12:51between where you are and where the tire
12:53actually gives up. The fix is your eyes,
12:56>> [music]
12:56>> specifically where they are pointed
12:58before you enter the corner.
13:00The technique is called visual
13:02targeting, and it works because your
13:04eyes direct your body weight, your body
13:06weight steers [music] the bike, and the
13:08bike goes where your weight tells it.
13:11Riders who run wide in corners almost
13:13always have their eyes aimed at the
13:15inside edge of the turn or at the
13:17oncoming lane, which is exactly where
13:20they then go, almost with mechanical
13:22inevitability.
13:24Point your eyes at the road surface at
13:26the exit of the corner as early as
13:28possible. Hold them there and the bike
13:30tracks that line with minimal physical
13:32[music] input.
13:33It feels like the motorcycle is reading
13:35your mind. The California [music]
13:37Superbike School, the most respected
13:40advanced riding school on the planet,
13:42teaches that 90% of street cornering
13:44[music] problems are eye position
13:46problems. Not throttle, not braking, not
13:50lean angle.
13:51Eyes.
13:52Students who arrive terrified of corners
13:55leave after 2 days riding at lean angles
13:57[music]
13:57they previously considered physically
13:59impossible simply by retraining [music]
14:01where they look. It is almost entirely a
14:04visual skill. Your tires have more grip
14:07than you will ever need. Your eyes just
14:09[music] need to point somewhere useful.
14:11Cornering is conquerable, completely
14:14different [music] category now.
14:15What about the fear that has nothing to
14:17do with your skill and everything to do
14:19with whether the person in the SUV next
14:21to you has bothered to check their
14:23mirrors? The fear of being invisible to
14:25drivers is real and the fix is more
14:27empowering than most [music] riders
14:29realize.
14:30Number four, the fear of being invisible
14:32to other drivers.
14:34This fear is partially based on actual
14:36statistics, [music]
14:37which is what makes it so hard to shake.
14:39A significant percentage [music] of
14:41motorcycle accidents involve a car
14:43driver who genuinely did not see the
14:45rider.
14:46The brain receives this information and
14:48immediately translates it into "Cars are
14:51always about to hit me."
14:53which is both terrifying and completely
14:55useless [music] as an operational state
14:56for riding.
14:58You cannot function from that place. You
15:00just freeze. What the statistics do not
15:02tell you is where those accidents
15:04happened [music]
15:05and why the rider was invisible.
15:07Almost all of them involve one of two
15:09scenarios. The rider was in a blind spot
15:12or the rider was approaching an
15:13intersection from an angle the driver
15:15was not checking.
15:17These are predictable positions. They
15:19are avoidable positions. Riders who
15:22actively [music] manage where they are
15:23in a lane, staying out of blind spots,
15:26making themselves [music] visible to
15:27waiting traffic before entering
15:29intersections, covering the brake lever
15:31[music] at every potential conflict
15:32point, reduce their exposure to these
15:35crashes dramatically.
15:37Visibility is a skill [music] you
15:39actively practice, not a passive
15:41condition you endure. The specific fix
15:43is lane positioning, and the reference
15:45[music] point to memorize is the left
15:47tire track, the polished strip of
15:49asphalt roughly 1/3 from the left side
15:52of your lane [music]
15:53where the vehicle ahead's left tire
15:54runs.
15:55Riding the left tire track by default
15:58puts you in the most visible position to
16:00oncoming traffic [music] and to drivers
16:02waiting at side streets, while keeping
16:04you out of most overtaking blind spots.
16:07It is not complicated. It is not magic.
16:10It is just choosing to occupy the part
16:12of the lane where people can see you.
16:14Studies of experience [music] versus new
16:16riders consistently show that
16:19experienced riders subconsciously
16:20[music]
16:21reposition within their lane dozens of
16:23times per mile in response to hazards.
16:26They are not riding a [music] fixed
16:27line. They are actively managing their
16:29visibility in real time. Make the
16:31question, can that driver see me right
16:33[music] now, a habit at every
16:35intersection and every merge. Your lane
16:38positioning [music] will permanently
16:39change within weeks. You go from passive
16:42victim of other drivers inattention to
16:44active participant in your own safety.
16:47Hit that like button right now if this
16:49is making motorcycling [music] feel
16:51possible instead of terrifying. It
16:53genuinely helps this video reach riders
16:56who are sitting on a fence about getting
16:57started. [music]
16:59You might be changing someone's entire
17:01trajectory with one tap. [music]
17:03Being seen is a skill, not luck.
17:06Now, here is the fear that does not
17:08announce itself [music] loudly. It just
17:09quietly convinces riders to never take
17:12the next step up. Never try the bigger
17:15bike. Never upgrade. The intimidation
17:18[music] of a larger machine is
17:19surprisingly common and surprisingly
17:21solvable.
17:22>> Number three, the fear of upgrading to a
17:25bigger bike.
17:26You have been riding your 300cc or 400cc
17:29beginner bike with growing confidence.
17:32You want more, more highway capability,
17:35more range, more presence [music] in
17:36traffic, more of whatever it is that
17:39made you want to ride in the first
17:40place.
17:41But the 650 or the 750 or the full liter
17:44bike sitting in the dealership feels
17:46like a completely different species
17:49and you are genuinely unsure whether the
17:51skills you have built on the small bike
17:53will survive the translation. [music]
17:55Here is the honest truth. They do.
17:58Completely.
17:59The fundamental skills of motorcycle
18:01[music] riding, body position, visual
18:04targeting, smooth throttle inputs,
18:06[music]
18:06progressive braking are physics skills.
18:09They work on any machine that has
18:11[music] two wheels and a throttle. A
18:13rider who has genuinely internalized
18:15these techniques on a smaller bike is
18:17more ready for a larger machine than
18:19they believe.
18:20What does not transfer directly is the
18:22muscle memory [music] for the specific
18:24weight and geometry of the new bike
18:26and that recalibration happens [music]
18:28naturally within a few hundred miles of
18:30low stakes riding.
18:31It is not starting over. It is
18:33recalibrating. Everything else follows
18:36from that one calibration. [music]
18:38The most common feedback from riders who
18:40make their first upgrade is almost
18:42embarrassingly predictable.
18:4420 minutes in a car [music] park feeling
18:45very uncertain.
18:4730 miles on quiet roads feeling
18:49cautious.
18:49>> [music]
18:50>> Then they just rode. The transition is
18:52consistently described as faster [music]
18:54and smoother than expected. The fear
18:56occupied far more space than the actual
18:58adjustment required. It always does.
19:02Bigger bikes are approachable.
19:03On the subject [music] of things that
19:05feel scarier than they actually are,
19:07let us address the fear that sounds the
19:09most socially reasonable.
19:10>> [music]
19:11>> The one with real peer pressure baked
19:13in, group riding. Number two, the fear
19:16[music] of group riding.
19:18Other motorcycles very close to you
19:21moving at speed in formation. If anyone
19:23makes a mistake, there is a chain
19:25reaction. You might be the weakest rider
19:27in the group. You might hold everyone
19:29up. You might cause an incident that you
19:31will [music] be thinking about for
19:32years. The social pressure stacked on
19:35top of the physical challenge
19:37>> [music]
19:37>> feels genuinely overwhelming. And the
19:39most common response is to decline every
19:42group invitation until [music] the
19:43invitations stop coming.
19:46Most of this fear is social, not
19:48physical.
19:49It is the fear of being exposed [music]
19:51as the least skilled person in a group,
19:53which incidentally is how all group
19:55activities feel when you are the newest
19:57member, whether you are riding
19:58motorcycles or playing chess or joining
20:00a book club.
20:02The specific intensity of motorcycle
20:03[music] group riding is real, but the
20:06solution is not avoidance. A good group
20:09ride is actually one of the safest and
20:10most structured riding environments a
20:12developing rider can access.
20:14The reason for that is the staggered
20:16formation, and once you understand
20:18[music] it, the whole thing becomes
20:20dramatically less intimidating.
20:22Lead rider on the left tire track.
20:24Second rider on the right tire track, 1
20:27second behind. Third rider back to the
20:29left, 2 seconds behind the lead. Nobody
20:32is directly behind anyone else. Each
20:35rider has maximum forward visibility and
20:37maximum reaction distance. The formation
20:40is not a preference or a tradition. It
20:42is engineering applied to the problem of
20:45multiple motorcycles navigating [music]
20:46the same road space.
20:48Learn the raised fist for stop, flat
20:50palm [music] down for slow, pointing arm
20:52for hazard, and you have the
20:54communication system. Maintain a
20:562-second gap to the rider directly in
20:58front.
21:00Ride your own ride. Experienced group
21:02riders do not [music] respect
21:04recklessness. They respect a rider who
21:06knows their limits and holds them.
21:08Touring groups regularly manage 20 or
21:10more [music] bikes through complex city
21:12traffic because the staggered formation
21:14Imagine walking into a viewing holding
21:16all the cards. You know the fair price.
21:19You know your opening offer and you know
21:21[music] the exact number where you walk
21:23away. That's how you knock hundreds,
21:26even thousands off the asking price.
21:28Our buyers kit hands you [music] those
21:30numbers for just $49. Negotiate from
21:33facts and never over pay again. Scan the
21:36QR on the right or tap [music] the link
21:38in the description. Ride away knowing
21:41you got the best deal.
21:43Learn it once and group riding goes from
21:45intimidating to one of the [music] most
21:47enjoyable things you can do on a
21:49motorcycle. Subscribe right now so you
21:51never miss a video like this one. We are
21:54about to get to number one. The fear
21:56that sits at the absolute [music]
21:57foundation of every other fear on this
22:00entire list. And once you hear the fix,
22:02you will wonder why nobody said this
22:04sooner.
22:05Group dynamics sorted. Now number
22:07[music] one. The fear that does not have
22:09a clean name, but that every single
22:12rider who has ever sat next [music] to a
22:13parked motorcycle and decided not to get
22:16on it knows intimately. This is the real
22:19reason most people never [music] start.
22:21Number one. The fear of not being good
22:24enough.
22:25You are going to get on a motorcycle and
22:27it is immediately going to be obvious to
22:30you, to traffic, to the universe that
22:33you have absolutely [music] no idea what
22:35you are doing.
22:36You will be exposed as someone for whom
22:38this is simply [music] not meant. You
22:40will confirm the suspicion you have been
22:42quietly carrying that motorcycling is
22:45for other people and you are not one of
22:47them.
22:48This fear is so common it basically has
22:50a reserved parking spot in the brain of
22:52every person who has ever considered
22:54[music] riding.
22:55Here is the thing the fear never once
22:57mentions. Every rider you have ever seen
23:00who looks completely effortless on a
23:02motorcycle was at a specific point in
23:05their past
23:05>> [music]
23:06>> exactly where you are. Every single one.
23:10The rider filtering smoothly through
23:12city traffic. The one carving canyons on
23:15a weekend. The one at a red light
23:17looking like they were born on the
23:18machine.
23:19All of them stalled engines in car
23:21parks, dropped bikes in front of
23:23strangers,
23:24>> [music]
23:24>> misjudged corners,
23:26wondered if they were cut out for this.
23:28The only difference between them and
23:30where you are right now is time and
23:32repetition. No secret talent. No innate
23:35gift. Just practice applied
23:37consistently.
23:38The single most [music] confidence
23:40building investment you can make is a
23:41formal beginner course. The Motorcycle
23:44Safety Foundation
23:46Basic Rider Course puts you on a small
23:48manageable motorcycle in a closed
23:50environment with qualified instructors
23:52whose only job is building your skill
23:54from the ground up.
23:55The handlebar area, throttle [music]
23:57hand, clutch hand, eyes, feet on the
23:59controls becomes your entire world for 2
24:02days.
24:03Within 8 hours of structured practice,
24:04[music]
24:05inputs that feel foreign and frightening
24:08become automatic and natural.
24:10Not comfortable [music] yet. Automatic.
24:13And automatic is the foundation
24:14everything is built on.
24:16Here is what nobody says loudly enough.
24:19Everyone in that course feels exactly
24:21the way you feel. The nervous energy is
24:23universal. The one person who shows up
24:26thinking they already know everything is
24:28the only one who fails to improve.
24:30Everyone else, the anxious ones, the
24:32ones who almost canceled, leaves
24:34transformed.
24:36Not because they became perfect riders,
24:38because they discovered that competence
24:40is genuinely available to them.
24:43The MSF has graduated over 10 million
24:46riders in North America. The course
24:48works. The fear is lying to you.
24:51Nine fears. Every single one of them
24:54real. Every single one of them solvable.
24:57Not one of them a legitimate reason to
25:00leave the bike in the garage for another
25:02year.
25:03The difference between riders and
25:05non-riders is not talent. It is not
25:08bravery. It is not some innate
25:10mechanical gift that some people have
25:12and others do not.
25:14It is the decision to take the fear
25:16seriously enough to address it
25:18>> [music]
25:18>> instead of letting it quietly make the
25:19decision for you.
25:21And if you want the nine biggest
25:23mistakes new riders make in their first
25:256 months, the ones that actually [music]
25:27do matter, continue the ride and make
