Beginner Rider Mistakes Can Happen To Anyone (January 2026)

After reviewing 200+ motorcycle riders in January, the same handful of mistakes showed up over and over. I built the Training System to close those gaps before the road finds them for you → https://www.Riding-SMART.com/Motorcyc... This is my January 2026 review, and the lesson is the one I see every week: hundreds of different riders, the same few avoidable mistakes. I break down the motorcycle riding mistakes that repeat the most and show you how to prevent each one. Entering a corner too fast and running wide. Missing the intersection threat before a car pulls out. Locking the rear brake instead of using progressive braking and the front brake the way I teach. Target fixation, group ride pressure, and riding without gear. Every one is a skill gap, not bad luck, and every one is fixable. If you took the MSF Basic RiderCourse and still feel like it didn't teach you how to ride a motorcycle in traffic, this is the real-world rider review that fills that gap. These are motorcycle rider tips and motorcycle cornering tips from real footage: how to corner on a motorcycle when you come in too hot, motorcycle braking technique, how to read intersections, and motorcycle group ride tips, for brand new and experienced riders alike. I go live every Tuesday and put each month into one video so you can learn from a full month of mistakes in one sitting. Watching makes you aware.
