Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This video further reinforced in my mind what a pathetically inadequate rider I am, and I'm 100% good with that. A man has got to know his limitations. =)
Awesome what you said always do a "sighting lap" , I just had bloke crash right in front of me in my local twisty road, and I Said to him I always take it I easy the first lap. He's answer nah I have fun straight away, then I said ( as I'm helping pick up his bike ) how's that working for ya
You don't know if that was the reason for his crash! What an arrogant assumption. The one thing you shouldn't have to learn is to leave other riders alone. Nobody gives a shit about some random guys opinion out on the road and how they ride.
Dude, that was a cool video...great skills, and an accurate description on choosing the right lines while traversing curves... The ONLY criticism I could announce though is that you didn't mention accelerating hard through a turn without seeing it's exit. This imo is suicide on public roads... Maybe you did and I missed it, but if you didn't, this is something that needs to be mentioned... I almost got killed once accelerating hard through a section of road that provided minimal visibility within typical reactionary time and distance. Some major TOOL with a Blazer was attempting to turn around this section of road pulling a trailer blocking the ENTIRE road..@ 80+mph I thought for sure I was DEAD...fortunately my brakes were better then I thought, it was dry, and I had no one on the back. Since that day I never accelerate beyond my line of sight...no way. This near death incident occurred after 25+ years of riding experience...thinking I knew it all. WRONG! No disrespect intended man...
+AdrianRP1 Very true. I think this serves as a specific incident that applies to my mention of only riding at 60-70% of your ability. you need to be able to react to sudden obstacles. Ppls first reaction is to always blame a driver that is doing an illegal or ill advised turn in front of a rider. I always make the point that it could've also been a huge rock that fell into the middle of the road. Would you get furious at that rock?? while it sucks to have to deal with another human that had bad timing, its still our ultimate responsibility to keep ourselves alive. The answer to that is to ride in a manner that leaves us room to react to the unknown. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing, and glad you came out of it unscathed. *thumbs up*
AdrianRP1 I couldn't agree more......Rule # 2 of 10 (of how to stay alive while riding a motorcycle)....rule # 2 never ever out run your eye sight....rule # 1 your invisible to everyone no matter what...rule # 3 "YOU HAVE TO ANTICIPATE WHAT THE OTHER CAR IS GOING TO DO BEFORE THEY DO IT" and for those of you that say "You can't do that your not a mind reader".....ride 30 years on the road and you will agree. 1- look for a head turn..... 2 look for a hand position change on the steering wheel....etc...etc..... all of these may indicate a lane change. Look at this way...see that hot mustang, camaro, hoped up import etc.... coming down the on ramp, may be an aggressive driver so prepare and put your self in position to be able to react or avoid if necessary. See a wood grain station wagon with a blue haired old lady coming down the ramp.... will probably not be as aggressive as the mustang but you do have to watch them for not being able to see good (so there's that s**t) That takes you back to # 1 "YOUR ALWAYS INVISIBLE TO EVERYONE" And for the love of God people....get your damn eyes up on the road and out of you damn phones.

I'm a motorcyclist and a road bike cyclist. Really appreciate your instructions. Would love if you or RevZilla would post some instructions about dealing with bicyclists on canyon and mountain roads. As a road bicyclists who loves pedaling these roads, motorcyclists are my greatest fear. They buzz us within inches of our lives. We (bicyclists) are just trying to do what motorcyclists are doing - that is, enjoy the love of the road. Motorcyclists who pass within inches are simply bullies and also very ignorant riders risking everyone's well being. Also, if two or more motorcyclists are carving around, please be aware that bicyclists only hear the first bike as it passes - we often get startled and might twitch a bit - right into the path of motorcycle #2 or #3...please encourage mutual respect on the road for all. And with that said, yes I am also aware that many many road bicyclists ride like idiots and do not follow the laws of the road - but please do not punish all bicyclists because of a small proportion. Thanks!
+Daniel Cipriani I push pedals as well. I always harp that we motorcyclists need to share the road with anyone and everyone when other riders try to curse bicyclists. Ive come across many cyclists and Downhill boarders, and the love and mutual respect for doing what we love is always reflected. *thumbs up*
What I learned today: outside, inside, outside, outside, inside, inside, outside offside, inside, outside. GOT IT! (Jk Bucky. I actually did learn a bunch of stuff :P)
Last point is on point. People always ask “aren’t you hot?” when I’m geared up. My response is always “I rather be hot than hurt if something happens”. Not saying you will be completely unscathed, but gear drastically reduces the injuries you may sustain and the amount of recovery time needed before you can jump back on your bike.
fuck road rash with a capital F......ive had bad ones from different sport and its the worst......."the pain that keeps on giving thruout its life"....i actually like my skin.......with gear today on how good and comfy it is no reason really
Almir Osmanović hahaha I hit some twisties last night with some random dudes I met last night and I had a bunch of o shit moments lol over all a good night but I pushed my self too hard and came into a fee corners 2 hot for never being on the roads we were riding
+DJ MotoVlogs It's interesting watching vids like this because I have footage from those exact same camera angles on those exact same corners... just that Bucky is taking the corners 5-10mph faster hahaha.
All this butt shifting, knee dragging stuff is absolutely unnecessary for public road riding. People do it for fun and pictures but you should be going no where close to the speeds where such techniques start to matter. Save it for the track and stay alive.
This is awesome!!!! More tip videos! Maybe tips when riding in the city heavy traffic, maybe tips on how to ride your bikes that have abs vs non abs in the city Awesome video more of these keep them coming
I read frequently people asking about body position and i think we should be reminded that there is no one correct way to ride a motorcycle. There are different riding styles created by all of us that make us feel comfortable, and with comfort comes speed.
no matter if you are very familiar with the road or not.... ALWAYS do a low speed run, to assert the conditions that may have change since last time (even if that was yesterday). there is nothing worst than "attack" a familiar road with 100% confidences and then discover dirt or new holes mid turn... it can even create a panic situation
Didn't notice the disappearing go pro did you? The only times he was talking was when he had go pro on his chin with mic attached. Then they added in video without go pro on chin with voice over from when it was on his chin. Very sneaky.
TheS13browe surely all they do is run all video cameras - in this case 3 I think - and mix the video they want for final edit and just take the audio feed from one of them - in this case the chin camera. I think that's perfectly common practice.
auscurrymaster no in this case watch the chin camera disappear in many clips, it was there in one clip and is not there in others. They had it on for easy run and took it off for his hard run but the voice continues as usual. He wasn't talking whilst riding hard only when taking it easy. So all they did was take the voice from his easy run and added clips in of his harder run over top but he wasn't actually talking in them. Hope that makes sense watch again for disappearing chin camera (can be seen in rear view mirror as well).
Great to see Bucky laying down some knowledge to a large audience like this. I was lucky enough to have him as a guide to sherpa me through the snake the last time I visited. Video doesn't do justice to his pace there. Great rider and great to see him rocking the reservoir decal. Keep up the great work! More Bucky please!
Of course you always want to consider positions such as braking marker, corner turn in, apex and corner exit. Corner attributes such as radius, camber, elevation and traction (perfect road, tar patches, cement, dirt). These things can change throughout the turn so you have decreasing radius, increasing radius, uphill, downhill, crest of hill (if you grab big air, no traction) bottom of valley (bump steer) and camber goes positive or negative half way through the turn. You can stand slightly on the pegs and play with weighing the inside peg (or outside peg). Late apex a decreasing radius turn, early apex an increasing radius turn. The wide arc is fun if you don't have a lot of power or aren't using it. Get it in, get in turned and fire it out works great if you have tons of power. AKA point and shoot.
Your guy's videos are always so great. I love the informative product reviews but I've still yet to find more professional, accessible, and well-done motorcycle videos on UA-cam. Keep it up!
I have been an experienced sport bike and canyon rider since 1982 when I got my first sport bike. THEE sport bike of the day....a Kawasaki GPZ550. My next bike was the infamous Kawasaki 750 Turbo which I got in December of 1983, although it was considered an 84. AND.... I still have it. AND....it still runs and looks great. Of course it's had a little love over the years. But here's the thing. Even though we ride with terrific technique and greatly increase our skill over the years, there is one immutable fact..... a lot of these "canyon roads" have speed limits of 35 to 45ish mph, so in effect.....we are all speeding. lol
Great video, simple and informative! However, it would be really nice if you could perhaps do another video similar to this that touches on body position. Most riders who lack experience on the track and in the twisties tend to ride really crossed up, which essentially means they're hanging the lower half of their body off much more aggressively than their head and their torso. This seems to be a product of both lack of experience and desire to drag knee which seems to make people think they're going fast despite their form being terrible. Dragging knee could be another thing you could touch on, why it happens, how it happens, when it should happen, etc. But all around a great video, just like pretty much all the content you guys have been producing! You can tell there's a lot of love for motorcycling at RevZilla.
Impossible to underestimate familiarity with the road. That is one of the great things about the track...brain is doing less continuous assessment for unknown factors...
Start out dirt bike Motocross riding. Do it for years. Get good at it... Real good. Then move to other surfaces that provide more traction. also... Good tips on riding gear.. Thanks.
I rode this canyon a couple times. its pretty difficult cuz of all the tight curves. its also very dangerous for beginners. I dont recommend if your a first time rider to ride this route until you are very skilled. Good Riding!!!
Awesome advise on the carving and the apex and the gear to wear when riding. And I check my tire pressure every other day. And important to make sure your chain is lube. I love revzilla for the vids on here and on their website.
Man, I don't know how these guys can carry on a narrative while at the same time shredding corners on a super bike. I don't even really shred corners, but the closest that I can get to doing that requires every single ounce of my concentration. Not bashing the dude, just pointing out that it is amazing.
Some very useful info, but the lines are good for track use only. You need to see and be seen on public roads and position yourself according, ie right side of your lane on a left hander and left side of your lane on a right hander. This way you see whats ahead sooner and whats ahead see's you sooner. There is a book called roadcaraft that covers this. Very nicely presented video though.
Well - good job. I'm pretty confident with the skill ur show here you could do it while staying inside ur own lane - without clippsing the double yellow. I'd love to see a vid about the safe line ...
Good video. Would have liked to seen some braking/swerving techniques. Here in Colorado we have lot's of bicyclists, rabbits, deer, snakes, tourists, dogs and pot smokers.
Great video for the most part. One thing though, that I consider a major risk: you complained about that one rider being on your side of the road, but nearly every left turn, at least your head is over the line. Which might be fine, when there is no traffic in the opposite direction. But following your (in my opinion correct) train of thought that you should not ride 100% in the twisties and have room to react to unforseen obstacles, I think you never should be over that line with any part of your body or bike at any point in time.
As you pointed out dealing with the unexpected, ie..bicycles, dirt on the road, etc. is a good reason to NOT follow "track racing lines" on a public road. The idea is good, but almost never works on public roads, IMHO. Thanks!
+Norm K. idd. Don't go for the apex, stay on the outside until you see the end of the corner, then go for the inside. We don't ride the same road up & down, we ride spirited and always new roads. Vision is the most important aspect, and even then there can always happen the most unexpected shit. I hit a buzzard @ high speed, frontal with my helmet, right after a corner. It flew 30-40cm above the trees, came over the road at high speed, and I could only see it for like 1 sec. The odds are small ... but it can still happen. A neck bracelet saved my life, without it my helmet would have smacked backwards so hard that I would have felt off the bike. The people riding behind me couldn't believe I came unharmed out of this situation.
Saw a video of crashes in the "Snake" the other day, and seems like they were pushing it beyond knowledge and skills. Hope this footage helps pprevent them from accidents, and show how to take those sweet curves. 😉
this video was great to watch and listen to your bike and hear u at the same time so that's a plus!!!!!! badass video it's tight and right on the money and it helps out alot!!!!
i dont move around my lane much for the fact theres always oncoming traffic so i keep my head out of the other lane by not leaning into it while ridding near the double yellow. the middle is where all the oil is and the only other option is the outside track which leaves you open to being passed and more road debris as you get closer to the shoulder
Anyone have advice for tire pressure? I ride a 2003 CBR600RR and I've been running 36/36, but I've crashed like 3 times so far in the canyons lol I thought I was just getting unlucky with dirty roads but now I'm starting to think it's because my tire pressure was too high. What do most people run for Q3's in the canyons?
Probably because that gets into specifics for a certain bike and riding conditions. it won't be the same for everyone, and they have to limit their liability as a company.
Rivers Ludden But it sounds like a tire specific rather than a bike specific chart, and there's no more liability in sharing it than there already would be with this video, which they did of course include a disclaimer.
Fair point on the liability, but even if it's a tire specific issue, there are a lot of different tires and bikes and weights, and this was a more general overview video than a "list off some numbers" video.
They actually found that in consecutive turns you make more time by keeping to outside inside outside depending on distance. Yea, I'll stick to the pros when learning about bikes.
You’re a great rider and I love revzilla. One thing that stood out though, was this felt more like a commercial because if you really wanted to teach you could add that PSI chart you mentioned having. No disrespect.
Please consider doing reviews on the Harley Davidson Street Glide, Wide Glide, and Ultra Limited as well as the BMW R1200rt and K1600gtl. I've seen other reviews on them but you guys are the best so I'm dying to see your take on those bikes
+nathan saldana yeah it's the new GoPro Hero 5 TeleMount, you can tell it via the GoPro app to teleport to different mounting points based on location or on a time schedule.
+Darren Jones Bingo. People who treat the road like a race track die or get maimed, almost without fail. There's way too much nonsense coming the other way to be "riding 70%" on a line near the divider.
Darren Pee Jay actually entering wide and finishing tight reduces chances of being caught in the head on zone of a corner and also allows you to see further through the corner at any given time
aluisious the exact reason I rarely lean the bike on the streets it makes no sense it's not a track. Cars and trucks spill oil and you can end up with up with a fucked up day
These sort of lines are taught as part of the Two Wheels Safety course in CA, with proven numbers in reducing accidents. If you do it right with late apexes, you minimize your risk and time spent near the dividing line.
Great video, good advice and tips for a topic most need. I am not talking about this vid because its a direct tutorial, but riding close to race pace and motovlogging dont mix. Do voice overs if you want to talk. Way too distracting even on the track.
Good tips man! I also have the Q3's on my ZX6R. I heard they have carbon fiber side walls that help in case the tire is under inflated. But yeah its always best to check
+diggsmiggs its not so much of a help. It changes the characteristics of the carcass (inner structure of the tire). it actually requires less air pressure than other manufacturers. Ive accidentally run the dunlops at low pressure, and let me tell you, it feels just as sludgy as any other under inflated tire. *thumbs up*
Are the speed limits on Mulholland pretty relaxed? I know out here in the mountains of north Georgia, you gotta keep it within reason cause the men in blue will be there to tag you.
Not only that, the msf course is waaay easier than the motorcycle driving test from the dmv, also if you have the msf course endorsement your insurance is cheaper
It's only easier than taking the test at the dmv because the course is 10 hours of riding instruction or more, and the class goes pretty slow, so it's easy for more people to pick up and learn.
amazing video, but you got one thing wrong (everybody gets this wrong). The size of the contact patch has nothing to do with grip. size is irrelevant. Ff = μN where: Ff: is the resistive force of frictionμ: is the coefficient of friction for the two surfaces (Greek letter "mu")N: is the normal or perpendicular force pushing the two objects together (second law of friction) if you increase contact patch, the force per serface area is less, resulting in the same amount of friciton with every size patch. the reason superbike tires are bigger is because that allows for a softer compount while not getting torn to shreds while accelerating (less force per surface). this wil result in a bigger coefficient of friction (μ), which results in more friction
That last bicyclist had a deathwish riding in the middle of the lane at the top of the J-turn. I honestly don't understand why there are so many bicyclists on that road. So many good canyon roads in the Santa Monica mountains if I was a bicyclist I would go to the road with the least motos.
Awesome video, I've been looking for a more modern video explaining some technique so thank you. Also curious on what your microphone set up is, sounds very clear for you having to concentrate on riding while explaining what you're doing. Thanks again keep up the awesome vids!
How can we get that psi chart you talked about ?

Of course you always want to consider positions such as braking marker, corner turn in, apex and corner exit. Corner attributes such as radius, camber, elevation and traction (perfect road, tar patches, cement, dirt). These things can change throughout the turn so you have decreasing radius, increasing radius, uphill, downhill, crest of hill (if you grab big air, no traction) bottom of valley (bump steer) and camber goes positive or negative half way through the turn. You can stand slightly on the pegs and play with weighing the inside peg (or outside peg). Late apex a decreasing radius turn, early apex an increasing radius turn. The wide arc is fun if you don't have a lot of power or aren't using it. Get it in, get in turned and fire it out works great if you have tons of power. AKA point and shoot.
You are our inspiration to reviews !!! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Portugal
Love riding the snake, luckily live in the neighborhood. Thanks for the tips Bucky!
Your guy's videos are always so great. I love the informative product reviews but I've still yet to find more professional, accessible, and well-done motorcycle videos on UA-cam. Keep it up!
I have been an experienced sport bike and canyon rider since 1982 when I got my first sport bike. THEE sport bike of the day....a Kawasaki GPZ550. My next bike was the infamous Kawasaki 750 Turbo which I got in December of 1983, although it was considered an 84. AND.... I still have it. AND....it still runs and looks great. Of course it's had a little love over the years. But here's the thing. Even though we ride with terrific technique and greatly increase our skill over the years, there is one immutable fact..... a lot of these "canyon roads" have speed limits of 35 to 45ish mph, so in effect.....we are all speeding. lol
Good tips. Nice that you pointed out ride below your ability on the road.
Great video, simple and informative! However, it would be really nice if you could perhaps do another video similar to this that touches on body position. Most riders who lack experience on the track and in the twisties tend to ride really crossed up, which essentially means they're hanging the lower half of their body off much more aggressively than their head and their torso. This seems to be a product of both lack of experience and desire to drag knee which seems to make people think they're going fast despite their form being terrible. Dragging knee could be another thing you could touch on, why it happens, how it happens, when it should happen, etc. But all around a great video, just like pretty much all the content you guys have been producing! You can tell there's a lot of love for motorcycling at RevZilla.
Impossible to underestimate familiarity with the road. That is one of the great things about the track...brain is doing less continuous assessment for unknown factors...
very good video, short and precise. one of the most applicable tip videos I've watched! every canyon rider should watch this
Nice video! Just in time for the sunshine
Love the tape over the speedo
Start out dirt bike Motocross riding. Do it for years. Get good at it... Real good. Then move to other surfaces that provide more traction. also... Good tips on riding gear.. Thanks.
I rode this canyon a couple times. its pretty difficult cuz of all the tight curves. its also very dangerous for beginners. I dont recommend if your a first time rider to ride this route until you are very skilled. Good Riding!!!
The narrative as you ride!... That's some skill man!...
One of the best real world videos I've seen. Thanks.
Awesome advise on the carving and the apex and the gear to wear when riding. And I check my tire pressure every other day. And important to make sure your chain is lube. I love revzilla for the vids on here and on their website.
Bucky as always, you're the man!
Man, I don't know how these guys can carry on a narrative while at the same time shredding corners on a super bike. I don't even really shred corners, but the closest that I can get to doing that requires every single ounce of my concentration. Not bashing the dude, just pointing out that it is amazing.
No harm taken Phil. Thanks for watching!
Some very useful info, but the lines are good for track use only. You need to see and be seen on public roads and position yourself according, ie right side of your lane on a left hander and left side of your lane on a right hander. This way you see whats ahead sooner and whats ahead see's you sooner. There is a book called roadcaraft that covers this. Very nicely presented video though.
Well - good job. I'm pretty confident with the skill ur show here you could do it while staying inside ur own lane - without clippsing the double yellow.
I'd love to see a vid about the safe line ...
cool video. another one on braking and leaning into corners on the twisties would be cool
Thank you for taking the time to give some good advice.
Good video. Would have liked to seen some braking/swerving techniques. Here in Colorado we have lot's of bicyclists, rabbits, deer, snakes, tourists, dogs and pot smokers.
Fantastic road, riding and video. Many thanks. Not sure I followed your instruction about lines in the S turns.
Great video for the most part. One thing though, that I consider a major risk: you complained about that one rider being on your side of the road, but nearly every left turn, at least your head is over the line. Which might be fine, when there is no traffic in the opposite direction. But following your (in my opinion correct) train of thought that you should not ride 100% in the twisties and have room to react to unforseen obstacles, I think you never should be over that line with any part of your body or bike at any point in time.
As you pointed out dealing with the unexpected, ie..bicycles, dirt on the road, etc. is a good reason to NOT follow "track racing lines" on a public road. The idea is good, but almost never works on public roads, IMHO. Thanks!
+Norm K. idd.
Don't go for the apex, stay on the outside until you see the end of the corner, then go for the inside.
We don't ride the same road up & down, we ride spirited and always new roads.
Vision is the most important aspect, and even then there can always happen the most unexpected shit. I hit a buzzard @ high speed, frontal with my helmet, right after a corner. It flew 30-40cm above the trees, came over the road at high speed, and I could only see it for like 1 sec. The odds are small ... but it can still happen. A neck bracelet saved my life, without it my helmet would have smacked backwards so hard that I would have felt off the bike. The people riding behind me couldn't believe I came unharmed out of this situation.
Saw a video of crashes in the "Snake" the other day, and seems like they were pushing it beyond knowledge and skills. Hope this footage helps pprevent them from accidents, and show how to take those sweet curves. 😉
this video was great to watch and listen to your bike and hear u at the same time so that's a plus!!!!!! badass video it's tight and right on the money and it helps out alot!!!!
i dont move around my lane much for the fact theres always oncoming traffic so i keep my head out of the other lane by not leaning into it while ridding near the double yellow. the middle is where all the oil is and the only other option is the outside track which leaves you open to being passed and more road debris as you get closer to the shoulder
Great video. Very sensible advices. Good job.
Anyone have advice for tire pressure? I ride a 2003 CBR600RR and I've been running 36/36, but I've crashed like 3 times so far in the canyons lol
I thought I was just getting unlucky with dirty roads but now I'm starting to think it's because my tire pressure was too high. What do most people run for Q3's in the canyons?
he's killing it like having a conversation at a coffee shop. he's good
To the point and very useful best vid on biking i've watched
Really awesome vid guys! I thoroughly enjoyed these tips.
Very well done, but why not share the recommended tire pressures list he mentioned with us?
Probably because that gets into specifics for a certain bike and riding conditions. it won't be the same for everyone, and they have to limit their liability as a company.
Rivers Ludden
But it sounds like a tire specific rather than a bike specific chart, and there's no more liability in sharing it than there already would be with this video, which they did of course include a disclaimer.
Fair point on the liability, but even if it's a tire specific issue, there are a lot of different tires and bikes and weights, and this was a more general overview video than a "list off some numbers" video.
+Motorcycle Extremist It's listed on his Instagram account: instagram.com/p/BESUfEphcF_/ This should do it. -DrewZilla
RevZilla
Thanks!
Funny I came here for a few tips and you're riding a bike like mine. Perfect.
Is Bucky coming back anytime soon? I really enjoy his work, both here, and the bike review he did on Revzilla.
It's possible. -DrewZilla
great video. this can be a learning experience or a friendly reminder. please make more videos like this
Good advice Bucky I enjoyed your video, I am much slower because of my ability and there's no shame in that.
Its all about having fun man! Im def not the fastest, but I probably have the biggest smile on my face :)
They actually found that in consecutive turns you make more time by keeping to outside inside outside depending on distance. Yea, I'll stick to the pros when learning about bikes.
Good advice for the track. My first dislike on a Revzilla sponsored video.
You’re a great rider and I love revzilla. One thing that stood out though, was this felt more like a commercial because if you really wanted to teach you could add that PSI chart you mentioned having. No disrespect.
That chart is linked in a bunch of the comments. Here it is again for your convenience. -DrewZilla

Dude amazing riding and control!!! awesome tips as well thank you! Stay Frosty!
This dude's 70% is like my 3000% - and he can formulate coherent content while doing it. Jesus. Well done good sir.
Thanks for the video, it had excellent riding tips & instructions.
Every rider appreciates a video like this canyon highway or not but no gear will save u crashing into rocks poles and guardrails
Excellent video and tips Bucky and RevZilla! Maybe there is some supermoto content in the works... :)
Fine display of riding.
This was actually pretty decent and had no cheese. Thanks, man. Looks like we have the same style.
Heck yeah man! Thanks for that
Please consider doing reviews on the Harley Davidson Street Glide, Wide Glide, and Ultra Limited as well as the BMW R1200rt and K1600gtl. I've seen other reviews on them but you guys are the best so I'm dying to see your take on those bikes
Great video! Some very good tips with explaining mistakes you see many people make. Unfortunately I live in a place without any canyons to carve :/
Great tips, I have been riding for ten years but i am still a little scared to dive the r6 into corners hard. You ride very good.
Anyone notice how his go pro on his chin keeps disappearing and re-appearing.
+nathan saldana yeah it's the new GoPro Hero 5 TeleMount, you can tell it via the GoPro app to teleport to different mounting points based on location or on a time schedule.
+arnuilmees no way that's fucking sick! Ahahaha
+nathan saldana notsureifsrs
Stealth mode? LOL!
+nathan saldana and that his mouth doesn't move when he talks :p
impressive video. well done revzilla well done!
Love the video, a lot of nice tips to remember!
Racing lines are not appropriate for public roads. Too much time is spent close to the dividing line.
+Darren Jones Bingo. People who treat the road like a race track die or get maimed, almost without fail. There's way too much nonsense coming the other way to be "riding 70%" on a line near the divider.
Darren Pee Jay actually entering wide and finishing tight reduces chances of being caught in the head on zone of a corner and also allows you to see further through the corner at any given time
aluisious the exact reason I rarely lean the bike on the streets it makes no sense it's not a track. Cars and trucks spill oil and you can end up with up with a fucked up day
These sort of lines are taught as part of the Two Wheels Safety course in CA, with proven numbers in reducing accidents. If you do it right with late apexes, you minimize your risk and time spent near the dividing line.
Yup.. Why nobody should ever take riding advise from Americans: their lines through curves are totally ass backwards for street riding.
Great tips. More please, body position, etc.
just recently started learning how to ride a motorcycle :)
Great video, good advice and tips for a topic most need. I am not talking about this vid because its a direct tutorial, but riding close to race pace and motovlogging dont mix. Do voice overs if you want to talk. Way too distracting even on the track.
Great riding, some good tips. Keep doing these videos.
Good tips man!
I also have the Q3's on my ZX6R. I heard they have carbon fiber side walls that help in case the tire is under inflated. But yeah its always best to check
+diggsmiggs its not so much of a help. It changes the characteristics of the carcass (inner structure of the tire). it actually requires less air pressure than other manufacturers. Ive accidentally run the dunlops at low pressure, and let me tell you, it feels just as sludgy as any other under inflated tire. *thumbs up*
This is great. Would love more videos like this
Would have been neat to include a link in the description to the psi chart for each make and model of tire that you mention in the video, just saying.
Message me on IG if you have it. Same name. I'll send you the chart.
Awesome video! Learned some quite important and useful information, will definitely be able to use it for my next ride(:
Glad to hear it bud. Ride Safe!!!
Are the speed limits on Mulholland pretty relaxed? I know out here in the mountains of north Georgia, you gotta keep it within reason cause the men in blue will be there to tag you.
MSF course was amazing. I strongly advise anyone who is considering the sport to spend the few hundred bucks and learn how to really ride.
Not only that, the msf course is waaay easier than the motorcycle driving test from the dmv, also if you have the msf course endorsement your insurance is cheaper
It's only easier than taking the test at the dmv because the course is 10 hours of riding instruction or more, and the class goes pretty slow, so it's easy for more people to pick up and learn.
Thanks for the tips keep up the good work 👍🏿
great vid, more tips on canyon/mountain carving please
amazing video, but you got one thing wrong (everybody gets this wrong). The size of the contact patch has nothing to do with grip. size is irrelevant.
Ff = μN
where:
Ff: is the resistive force of frictionμ: is the coefficient of friction for the two surfaces (Greek letter "mu")N: is the normal or perpendicular force pushing the two objects together
(second law of friction)
if you increase contact patch, the force per serface area is less, resulting in the same amount of friciton with every size patch.
the reason superbike tires are bigger is because that allows for a softer compount while not getting torn to shreds while accelerating (less force per surface). this wil result in a bigger coefficient of friction (μ), which results in more friction
That's quite interesting. Do you have any source where to learn more about this?
another one¡!!!! awsome vid guys... but.... would be nice if you shared the tire pressure chart....
I shared it on my Instagram. Even if you don't have the app, you can google my name and Instagram to find it.
That last bicyclist had a deathwish riding in the middle of the lane at the top of the J-turn. I honestly don't understand why there are so many bicyclists on that road. So many good canyon roads in the Santa Monica mountains if I was a bicyclist I would go to the road with the least motos.
Cool, can you go over braking, engine braking when approaching a turn would like your take on trail braking etc?
Bucky may cover that in a future video. -DrewZilla
Awesome video, I've been looking for a more modern video explaining some technique so thank you. Also curious on what your microphone set up is, sounds very clear for you having to concentrate on riding while explaining what you're doing. Thanks again keep up the awesome vids!
+Jesse Ayala Sena Bluetooth set up with the gopro backpack
Thx Capt Steve Rogers "Bucky"
Dam, that was 70 percent. I wanna see what this guy can do at 100 percent.
Ha! Thanks Vic. We just did a BMW S1000RR review at at the track. That'll show a better idea of where and how to go 100%. Check Revzilla's channel!!!
Bucky, out of curiosity what type of back and chest protector are you riding with on this video?
Very good video thank you
