Cheers for that. Really interesting.
I do prefer M13 for YouTube lessons. He's quite Funny at the same time.
What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?
Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

YouTube videos to "learn" how to ride.
I'm the fuck out of here, all is cunting lost if new riders are that retarded!

Most education revolves around 'theory' and 'practice'. If you think learners should ignore the former then go ahead
Also, if it was aimed at the OP, they stated on the previous page that they have a training course booked...

Drew, I'm suprised you didn't cut this one loose way back.

Good for you/training, but ahead of me ! Nope and never will be. Hope you learn to ride well, for each time you hit the ground it makes it harder to be confident riding in any conditions.Hehe I'm a schizophrenic cat, I've got 27 lives
Already ahead of you pall.
Not blaming anyone else but myself.
Conditions: wet and slippery- factor I took into account (obviously not well enough lol)
Fault: mine
Cause: lack of confidence and/or some part of my gear that I decided to don slipping and/or catching. Also inability to navigate slow speeds down hill in wet.

If anyone thinks it's a good idea to learn from someone with possibly no idea what they're doing, and no way to find out. They are welcome to.
Consider though. Should you miss the meaning on something they that might be correct about, and start doing it wrong, without the ability for clarification you're fucked.
Most bikers for some reason believe they're awesome. The vast majority of those are flat the fuck out WRONG.

Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

I red rep'd you cos your last post basically called newbies watching vids retarded without saying anything to back it up. As a newbie watching vids I took exception. Thanks for actually backing up your opinion this time.
First off, it's fairly easy to find out whether the youtuber one is watching knows what they're doing. The fact that Roadcraft Nottingham (the vid linked) has almost as many year's experience instructing than I do breathing air, is evident by his website, and the fact he vids himself instructing pupils. He obviously thinks his vids are worthwhile, cos he uploads em, and he seems to know something about teaching people how to ride.
I think he'd also agree however that practical tuition is irreplacable. I totally agree about the chance to mis-apply the rote learning. But you'll learn a heck of a lot more from instructor if you understand (even partially) the theory behind something, before they start teaching you how to use it. When I was a tutor (nothing bike related) nothing fucked me off more than the 'uh-huh. uh-huh. uh-huh.'. Whereas people who actually wanted to discuss something they'd heard/seen from 'a mate' or 'the internet' have the desire to learn and thus are a lot better off to start with.
edit: 'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Drew again.' - fuckit, I'll green you later.

Had a mate bin his Hilda aquaplaning on shiny straight stretch of wet road, likely going too fast.
Seems the solution to the road peeps is to erect "slippery when wet" signs which is great as a warning, but be better if they fixed our roads so people don't slide off them. Have a count of these signs next time your out and about, bet you will lose count.
Recently while taking it vigilantly cautiously on a narrow sealed back country road past a sign of roadworks ahead when after some time crawling along i found out why. No further warning signs then a series of bike eating potholes were hidden around a blind bend- yes. They tried to buck me off the bike as I crossed over them. On approach they appeared to have been recently patch filled in the dull winter light, but i was wrong about that as the ballcrusher followed, yup you can never be too careful.
Ride to the weather conditions, read the road ahead as tiring as it is with some of our roads, and ride to your confidence limits, slow down and get there.
