    Thanks for being self-aware and providing a role model of continuous learning and leaving your ego at the door. Nothing but pride in learning. Well done, keep it up!

    EVERYONE who rides a motorcycle should do some track days. A lot of the technique translates to road riding. I’ve seen BMW GS1200s, Harley’s, Indians, Super Motos, and Dual Sports on the track. It all works and it’s great knowledge to have in your toolbox.

    I think you need to add a crotch rocket to your stable of motorcycles.

    Great video Jerry! I think it’s great that you lead by example and work on improving your overall riding technique rather than putting out videos on how to improve your bike with chrome farkles and extra lights or extra loud mufflers.
    Thanks for the tips.

    I have done some track days on a number of different styles of motorcycles. A couple of them under training. If you really want to know where you are riding skill wise a serious track weekend is recommended. Learning is a great thing and also a humbling experience. You think you are going pretty quick and then some pro racer goes by you so fast you check your speedo. Well you’re doing the ton when you look!! Pucker factor and common sense tells you don’t worry man just be happy.

    Great info for any riders new or old. I was lucky at a very young age to spend a lot of time chasing after a professional racer on this personal bike a motor Moto Morini 3 1/2 through the back roads of Connecticut and Massachusetts on my Honda 300cc super hawk.
    I learned being smooth and using lot's body language makes riding fast very entertaining.

  • @2wheelsr2wheels39
    @2wheelsr2wheels39 Рік тому +1

    Love the way you present everything Jerry. Smooth and calm. I wish I knew why so many people who don't race are so preoccupied with getting through corners as fast as possible on the street? I think we all would be better off if we just rode slower and practiced emergency deceleration and swerving in turns. Like you said you won't know where the apex is on a new road when you can't see the entire curve.

    I always get looks and questions when I’m riding my Ultra Classic. Nobody has ever seen someone “Hanging off” a bagger before I guess! 😂
    Truth told, I’m a former racer, and my Ultra is outfitted with high end “Race suspension”, so this style comes naturally to me.
    Cool trick I’ve learned,
    When going into the corner, turn your inside foot about 90 degrees outward on the board. This acts like a knee, so when the bottom of the toe of your boot starts to drag, you’ll know you have a couple inches before you start dragging floor board.

    Recently on a club ride, I suddenly came upon a blind uphill hairpin. I couldn't see the layout of this corner and was thus completely baffled. I came to a complete stop at the inside apex of the corner. Embarrassing. In hindsight a GPS screen / Google Maps might have helped. It's sort of like Terrain Following Radar, in a fighter bomber.

    Wow! 100 mph in 4th gear? I would be worried my transmission would disintegrate. That was interesting in fusing racing techniques into street riding. Except for the speed of course.

    Its cool to see a guy in your section of motorcycling hit the track with an instructor. Also impressive that a rider with your experience is willing to humble himself and take instruction.

    Do most Harley riders just putt around? I’m go thru tires so fast, I think because I’m always doing over 100 on the freeway and scrape pegs on every turn if possible.
