  I've been riding for over 30yrs and I still get a little nervous when I get on my bike. A little fear is healthy, keeps you alert. Ride like everyone is trying to hit you.

  I am 72 years old and I’ve been riding for 55 years and I’ve owned 23 motorcycles. I have never laid one down and I live all the rules that you explain to survive on your seven myths.

  You said it best on the first point… everyone thinks they’re fast or skilled until there’s a curve in the road lol

  I'm 69 next month; started riding again 26 mths ago after 40yrs of no bikes. I have owned since restarting, a Ninja 300 & Versys 300 learners, now a Transalp and a Z900RS. The RS is staying. This is a very good video and luckily for me I use all the rules in it already. I tell people "I'm going out to put chicken strips on my tyres" and I don't care. I promised myself to ride to my ability and I stick with it. I do ride quickly when it's safe but it's a road, not a racetrack. Great video mate.

  I’ve been riding for 10+ years and had 3 bikes so far. I am so glad I started on a Ninja 250. It taught me respect for the machine and how to trust myself. Thank you for your content.

  I started "adventure" riding on a 1967 Suzuki 55 in 1970. 14 motorcycles later, I'm still riding...and still learning.

  Riding 57 years.  Owned 23 bikes over the years.  Competed in novice class moto-cross as a kid.  Taken over 8 motorcycle  safety and/or skill classes through the years.  I teach 40 hour Advanced Process Drivers Safety class for professional truck drivers.  Oh, and only been down in the street once, (no injury luckily) but crashed in the dirt uncountable times (minor injury only, again luckily).
