Visit the new Website of Racer TV: www.becaferacer.com (Legendado em Português) After seeing so many different videos on youtube with people riding motorcycles, i found several issues that should be known. That's why i decided to make this video, which may be very useful for many other riders. Here you will find the 5 most common mistakes i found till now. Most of them are more technical, and not so much about riding experience. In the end of the video, you will know also the cause of one of the most mysterious phenomenons about motorcycles. The Mystery of side tire wear. Enjoy. My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english. Some of the video footage in the video, is courtesy from the following youtube Channels, which are licensed as creative commons content: Chewie Meatball : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_0XZg4eMI4 GoParis : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqWQVP6qDs4 TheAdventureProne : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3zp2g2-vo8 Information about the lack of proper riding gear. 1- This is a video about riding mistakes, not about safety mistakes. 2- The only riding gear legally mandatory in my Country, is the helmet. 3- The usage of Gloves, Jacket, or proper boots , is only a personal choice, although very recommendable on long trips. 4- Most riding clips in this video were shooted in a very hot day, and in small trips of no more than 3 Km of distance. 5- I usually use leather gloves, even in hot days. I tried to shoot these videos with my black leather gloves, but the movements of the hands and fingers were almost unnoticeable for the camera, and that's why i didn't wear them. 6- In most south european countries(like Portugal), it's perfectly normal to ride with casual clothing in short distance trips. Conclusion. The usage of proper riding gear is recommendable, but is still a personal choice(except helmet), and each one of us has the right of using it, or not. Cheers.
