      Hey motojitsu I just watched 100 points of grip, he talked about how it might not be best to flick the bike in because you don’t want to add lean angle points quickly the same way not to brake or add throttle quickly. How would u compare this method to flicking the bike in too fast?

    When I was racing dirt bikes I trained with Gary Semiks and he always taught me to focus on 2 to 4 seconds ahead of myself.especially at speed. Because the faster you go the more active your eyes have to be. This translated to my street bike riding and I've found on the street ya have to be planning/ looking farther down the road head movement and eyes are so important.

But I ran across this one for the first time a few days ago, and in trying to put these ideas into practice this week I feel like more than anything it's had an immediate impact on my confidence in corners .
    It's not so easy. Have to make this kind of path analysis very fast, and as you said you have to be very quick with the eyes. But the more I practice at it the more automatic it becomes. Bravo!

I’m in a Harley though not a sports bike so I feel like it’s a little (not much though) different

    Tip 4: Think ahead
    In the part where you show a planned route to be tight on the left before the blind right because “there's no oncoming cars” is a big mistake. In the time it takes to move to that position, there is a good chance a car will come around the corner. Then where will you go?
    Much better to plan for the possible oncoming and position accordingly.

    • @nateriver5114
      @nateriver5114 2 роки тому +4

      i think he didn't mean to go all the way to the left but to the left of your lane. as soon as you see oncoming traffic then you can easily go of the throttle and reposition yourself more to the middle of your lane. and he only meant the closest corner because we can look far enough ahead to assume that corner will be empty when we pass it. the next corners remain unsave.

    I like the point about scanning, I find it's v easy to get obsessed by your limit point so you look like more like someone in Star Trek staring at a far galaxy rather than an alert rider, and subsequently fail to notice the pothole in the middle distance. It does take constant practice flicking your focus between the two but avoids scary back wheel hops. Brilliant vids, you probably save more lives than a paramedic

    Love your content MotoJitsu, I just recently got off my learners and got my licence for my bike. I own a Kawasaki Ninja 400 2022, very light bike it's about 157kg kerb weight think that's about 350 lbs roughly. Absolutely right about cornering, once I learned to look where I wanted to end up everything came naturally even doing things like counterbalancing the bike during slow but tight turns. There's a hospital a couple of suburbs over near where I live (I'm in NSW, Australia on the Central Coast) and the corner to come out of the carpark is a tight left like a hairpin. Your content is about generally improving rider safety which is excellent, your concern for the well-being of riders is genuine.
    We have a similar version of bike testing to what you ladies and gents do over in AZ in my home state of NSW. We do rider education, road position, hazards, poor predictability of car drivers (especially people who drive BMW SUVs) and what to do when conditions change suddenly. I love my bike, I'm not going back to mainly driving a car. Bikes are more sustainable, they use less fuel and have less impact wear on the road. Thanks for great content.

    Practicing braking saved my life literally last week. I was going fast but wasn't focusing and left it late to slow down. Luckily there was a turnoff in the middle of the corner. I straightened my bike up and progressively braked and I stopped just before the berm and didn't crash or drop the bike. I was going like 47mph into a rather sharp turn. Realistically I could've sent it but it would be out my comfort zone to do that.

  • @ricooreily1597
    @ricooreily1597 2 роки тому

    You are absolutely right! I’ve been riding for 50 years this year and I never cared about mid corner speed. It’s all about having a little fun in between the straight-aways. This is true regardless of the type of bike you’re riding. I am the rare breed of rider that appreciates the attributes that diffent types of bikes bring to the table. I have a 62 Harley Davidson Glide, a Suzuki GSX600R and a dual sport. Obviously the GSXR corners better but my Hog is very comfortable on the iron butt rides but it would be unrideable in the dirt, you see where I’m going with this. Ride YOUR bike, don’t try to keep up with anyone, just have some fun on your timetable, if your friends are dicks about it, maybe ya need a new batch of friends. Above all else the MOST important thing is getting home! Keep it rubber down brother!😊

    Brilliant video I do believe even at my age that I've just had a good lesson.

    That was a great advice mid speed is for squids, I ride scooter and scooters have limited lean capability due to small tyres so they can't be leand like a bike or a sports bike so keeping you squid tip in mind i think even a small 110 cc scooter would also do the great stuff .
