Our guest is Angel Kendall, who just passed her California motorcycle license course! She bought a low-mile Ninja 400 because sibling rivalry waits for no rider. Her first go served up right-on-red threats, reflexive lane swaps, cutoff-switch stalls, fellow riders flashing hazards and a gentle driveway flop.
Brian opens the door to that fresh new rider perspective. He pushes skill over spec-sheet ego before steering our guest toward practical gear such as Shoei and Arai helmets with Snell logic and Insta360 cameras. One of his war stories emphasizes why we look where we want to ride and manage attention under stress.
Robin's most often heard answer to new rider questions remains "what do you think?". His clear lane goal is to see the most and be seen the most. Confidence comes from competence and a brutal dose of self-awareness: spot threats, remove them, pick your own risks and ignore groupthink.
