Riding the twisties is my favorite

- One of the things besides doing slow speed drills that I have come to enjoy in riding is the twisties.
I've been riding for about 2 years now and pretty much every day, for no less than 2 hours a ride.
If you're wondering what I do for work, I'm a bum. XD
I will spend the entire day riding my moto when I get the chance. Ive done about 4 courses in that time and will have another in October for slow speed drills and moto control.
I practice slow speed maneuvers almost every ride, and various techniques while riding.
But out of everything that I have experienced thus far, hitting the twisties has been the most fun for me.
City riding is fun but that's for slow speed practice and people watching. My greatest enjoyment comes from long sweeping curves and open road to hit the throttle and control the moto and use the skills I've developed. Plus, my R1 gets very hot in stop and go traffic.
What's your favorite when you ride?
There are many curves here and some are short which makes me wish they were longer runs, but I hit them and do them several times if I like them.
However, one of the things that keeps me safe is the course work and practice and continuing to learn to become a better moto rider.
Without the course work and the practice, it would take me years to learn what I have to this point about how the moto works, but most importantly, how the riders' skills are what brings that moto to life.
So be vigilant and practice.
Not sure where this video was taken, but quite honestly, those roads are not twisties where I come from. They basically are still within the "straight road" category where I ride.
You did a nice job talking about your approach to each section though.
Try to get a place where the roads are actually qualified "twisties" some day. You'll really enjoy it and can practice your skills and put it into play.
True twisties are my favorite, and the only type of riding I attempt to do, otherwise I park it.
A few of many ideas for twisties: Wisconsin's Driftless Area (S.W. Wisconsin), The Black Hills, Eastern Tennessee (Smokies - although Tennessee has several areas that are good), Western North Carolina (Blue Ridge Mtns., Tail of the Dragon, and more), Northwestern Arkansas (Smokies, Eureka Springs, and more) are all great places to find real twisted roads. Hopefully, you live near one of these areas.
Have fun, stay safe, and ride often!
not a single turn in the video
@@jarlbalgruufthegreater1758 My goal is to keep lines straight, not drag a knee, unless I'm on a track. Feel free to post some of your work. 😎 Maybe we can find some knee draggers and do that.
I guess "twisties" really depends where you live. Nice video, just need to work on the audio. It's kind of difficult to understand.
@@gregjoseph7195 My CamPark doesn't have a mic connection. Will hopefully get another video recorder with mic attachment. Thanks for watching.
Bro, sorry but you really have no idea what "twisties" look like!! If you really want to experience some twisties I would suggest the Dragons Tail in NC if you're on the east coast of checking out Eastern WA state where I live. Some of the twisties out here would blow your mind!
@@danield831 These are just good practice when I'm not going far. I have seen the Twisties on the tail and others on UA-cam, but haven't had the opportunity to ride on them. Maybe one day if I'm lucky. These are close to town so I am able to practice trail braking, body position, throttle control, and such. Sorta like doing slow speed maneuvers in a parking lot if you will. 😀 Getting prepared for those Isle of Man Twisties. 👊🤘😎
The yellow curve speed limit signs have to be under 30 mph....fer sure
What twisties?
@@ldk3037 🤔😂😂😂😂
where are the twisties? These barely curve
@AdamHalvo Well, they aren't hairpin twisties, but good for line selection, body positioning, throttle control, and trail braking practice to prepare for those hairpin twisties. Sorta like practicing slow speed maneuvers, where you, as the rider, get to control the speed. They're pretty fun to do.
