In brief

This video breaks down the basics of using a motorcycle’s clutch, finding the friction zone, braking, and a quick intro to shifting gears. It’s aimed at beginners who want a clear, hands-on explanation before tackling more advanced techniques—like upshifting—in the next part of the series. The creator emphasizes practical, no-nonsense guidance based on the MSF Rider Handbook, though they stress that formal training is still essential for licensing.

Description from the creator

So Ms. Blockhead's been YouTubing 'How to Ride a Motorcycle' and hasn't been able to find a vid that 'thoroughly' goes over a few of the things she's trying to learn. Watching through a few with her, there's some stuff that's left out here n' there, so I told her that I'd make one for her and try to be thorough!

Alas, the Blockhead "How To Ride A Motorcycle" series was born!* In Part 02, we go over using the clutch, learning the friction zone, applying brakes, and a brief introduction to shifting. The next episode will cover shifting into higher gears. I bring along my trusty MSF Rider Handbook for some guidance, but kinda 'cliffs notes' it up.

The vids might seem a bit lengthy, but I know that's how I learn best, so maybe there's some of you out there that are the same (I'd be willing to bet there are!)

As an NRA certified firearms instructor, I've instructed and taught students before, so I hope that comes across in the vid (fingers crossed!) However, I never have nor will I claim to be a 'motorcycle instructor.' When it comes to motorcycles, I'm just a guy that enjoys to ride.

Hope the videos help! As always, thanks for watching, ride safe out there, and stay vigilant!
