  Yam rocking the ‘stache looks like a very proud dad walking along saying “let’s go Derrick”.

  That level of enthusiasm willing to share fun of riding a bike with someone and... willing to teach! Please make it a series - I want to see how he progresses.

  I&apos;m a driving instructor in germany, we have probably one of the strictest licensing and testing procedures worldwide, and such my daily bread and butter is talking people through their first steps on a motorcycle. You did a splendid job, especially for someone that <b>alledgedly</b> has no training and no experience in teaching others. Well done! :)

  This is inaccurate because he didn&apos;t get to experience the joy of trying to kickstart the bike 90 times before it bogs to life. &nbsp;Maybe next time.

  We skipped the &quot;power walking&quot; thing at my driving school and went straight to the &quot;feet up&quot; part. And that, my friends, was how I dropped the bike 5 mins into my first lesson.

  Lol. Yam says, &quot;we&apos;re gonna move onto drill number two&quot;, and it goes to commercial. The commercial? Someone cracking open a beer. That is not a drill I remember from my MSF course....

  I took an MSF Course a year ago, and I had 50 year old men who ride Harley&apos;s yelling and screaming at everyone. They expected you to have 5-10 years of Dirt Bike experience prior. They didn&apos;t teach you how to ride but rather expected you to hop on, know the basics, take off and complete the course. It was very challenging and discouraging as a beginner.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZOGCt4e02Q&amp;t=495">8:15</a> the way I explained this to my wife (on a car on manual gearbox) is: with the throttle, you decide how much power the engine generates. With the clutch, you decide how much of that power you want to transfer to the wheel. Then I showed her the &quot;only noise&quot; trick you did here to show my point.<br><br>Btw I really appreciate your work guys, you have fans all over the world... And you deserve them.<br><br>Greetings from Italy<br><br>P.s. Your review on the Svartpilen 401 really helped me to seal the decision for my first bike. Thank you, sincerely.

  I think we need more content like this, it&apos;s one thing to hear you guys talk about how to ride, but to see you walk a beginner rider through the steps provides a great sense of confidence! Great job as usual.
