I have about 175 hours altogether practice with this bike and another Honda Pacific Coast 1995 which I gave away to my mechanic in perfect condition, I just suffered a heart attack then another, now I'm two years into it. I'm leaving right now to work on these video exercises of yours. While I do them, this video has given me another way of doing my practices and I'm looking forward to today, will post here later on today how it went compared to before. I'm not saying your or Jerry's is best, both have videos that are excellent and I'm subscribed to both. Keep up the good work, I like your training very much.

    My question relates to the handlebar setup. I can almost do a full lock, but moving the handlebars the last bit means I have to stretch forward and it throws off my balance bringing it forward and in. However I find the handlebar set up perfect for everything else. More practice or should I consider adjusting my handlebars somehow? Thank you.

    • @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube
      @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube  Рік тому

      It depends. If you are on a Harley many riders will move up closer to the gas tank when slow speed maneuvers. Because we all built different such as longer arms one handlebar doesn't really fit every rider.

    Whew! I was getting dizzy! So Sgt. Paul? Let me understand that the more you turn your handlebars? Is that what makes the motorcycle lean naturally? Or do you have to push forward on them as you are circling? I do not have any cones so I circle the manhole cover in the culdesac in our development. I absolutely love the figure 8. That and the offset cone weave is my fave. Good video! :)

    • @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube
      @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube  3 роки тому

      You can get the motorcycle to lean more by pushing down on the handlebars. In the video I was not pushing down I just turned the handlebars which tightened up the circle. Now as you turn the handlebars the tires dig in and causes the motorcycle to lose speed which also causes more lean. So I know I probably confused you with all of that ha ha but there are several things that cause the motorcycle to lean more. I hope I answered your question if not please let me know.

    Hey, Paul! Greetings from Italy. This was by far the best video about slow speed maneuvers I've seen. Precise, concise, to the point, useful. I've been struggling for some days to turn my handlebars during a u-turn, this video helped me a lot. I own a sportbike. Everytime I make a u-turn I just can't turn the handlebars properly into the turn. I don't know if it's psychological, but since the handlebars are so low, when I make the turn I have the sensation I'm going to smash my head into the road. So my weight falls onto the bar I am supposed to turn and, of course, the bike wants to straight up itself and I go wide. In other words, I just can't commit to it. I hope it makes sense. Do you have any tips to fix this -- perhaps considering this kind of bike? Thanks, Paul! Every single one of your tips has helped me a lot. I wished I lived in the US I'd have definitely taken your live course.

    • @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube
      @ProriderCentralTexasYouTube  2 роки тому +1

      Struggling with turning the handlebars is very common. Try sitting up straighter it will take some pressure off the handlebars. On a sportbike you have to really work on it because the riding position leans you forward. I think this will help

      @@ProriderCentralTexasUA-cam Hey Paul! Just wanted to give you a quick update. After a few days of practice, I've finally been able to do 20feet u-turns with a full-blown sportbike. Darn it felt good! Your tips helped me big time. Regarding this particular bike, the things that made the most difference for me were 1) handlebar full-lock 2) relax, don't wrestle with you handlebars (as it to take pressure off the handlebars) 3) stay in the friction zone. Actually, since idle on a sportbike is quite high, in order to make really tight turns you have to stay on the "slowest" side of the friction zone -- literally millimeters out of complete disengage. Even in the friction zone, the amount of power transferred to the rear wheel on a sportbike is quite aggressive, the bike speeds up quickly -- increasing your radius when turning. So you have to deal with the "quick dip" unfortunately, and manage it as much as you can with the clutch, because of the propelling force that you need to counter in order to make those very tight maneuvers. Thank you again, Paul -- please keep it up, you're doing a great service to riders all over the world.
