40 and Noob
40yo new rider from luxembourg. Upgraded from 125cc to 400cc and crashed the bike and my knee within a month. Back on the 125cc and calmly accepting this is maybe good enough for now

Hey Marc. Welcome to The Crew. Sorry about your crash. I crashed on a 109cc bike and cracked 3 ribs on my left side and still have a lump just below my knee on my inner, upper shin. That was 2 years ago. Just kept practcing, bought a 500cc a couple months later, and now I have a 1250cc. My friend (a priest) started out on a Navi ( the one I crashed with lol), went to a 750cc trike, then back down to a 125cc scooter, now owns my 500cc Rebel. He loved every single one. Ride whatever you are most comfortable with. Whether you go higher or even lower, if you go on two or three, you're part of a special family of riders. Welcome.

@Robert Moeser I can'tclick on them to see them better on my phone, but will try on PC in morning. They look beautiful from what I CAN see though.

Just a wholesome observation about greeting gesture
I usually greet (two fingers down in general, but it's not a religion). and i seem to notice patterns sometimes. Like vespa riders and electric bikes, i'm not always sure if they know what i mean because i bet most riders don't greet them. Yesterday i put my fingers out, and this delivery guy was just puzzled. He was wearing a full face helmet. But his eyes, and shoulders and head movement said everything. I could literally see a speech bubble saying "Why does everybody keep pointing at the road in front of me?"

I biker wave scooters all the time and notice they dont know what it means either. Most of them are food delivery riders. But I'll biker wave anyone. I even biker wave people when I'm in my car!

@Diana Ramirez Congrats on being cancer-free! That's amazing. Thank God for motorcycles to help with stress.. otherwise we'd be drunk, stoned, and/or in straight-jackets 24/7. Will keep you in my prayers for continued health, and of course safe travels.

Lifting Your Heavy Ass Bike
A couple of us were in another thread and the topic of lifting your bike came up. So I thought I'd start this thread dedicated to that topic. Poll: What's your favorite technique and and why? P.S. Don't just vote... post some comments and get some likes to rank up. :)

When I had the Rebel I could just muscle it up with my arms (mostly arms anyway). But I BARELY made it. I now have a much heavier bike and KNOW that technique won't work. I can't do "butt to bike" because my ass is too big and my arms are too short. LOL I can't say which is my favorite yet as I don't know. I haven't tried any of them to figure out which one is best/easiest for me, but I started the topic so felt like I had to write something. lol Ride safe all! <3

WHAT’S THE PATTERN?!
As Dan always asks during his streams: What’s the pattern here? 😆 But with full seriousness - even when lane filtering \ splitting, always be fully alerted!

@Diana Ramirez I'm trying to find the one with the handlebar lift -- it seems easier than the butt-to-bike lift (I got a big bubba butt so this method doesn't work for me lol) -- but I can't find it. However, I found this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRvofOL3eaI and she has 4 different techniques -- one of them IS a handlebar lift and similar to it but it's not like the one I found. The one I found the guy puts his left hand on the right bar and his right hand on the left bar, and pushes with his whole body through his legs, back, and chest. If I ever find it, I'll post it. @Elad Best I think we just found another topic for your vlog! LOL
