    I've had a Himalayan for several years and I just got a KLR650. I haven't practiced the elephant turn on either because I've never seen a good explanation until now. Thanks!

      Certainly having a surface that is a little loose will help with that rear tire spin, but more importantly I think it’s being comfortable with supporting the bike in the lean. 👍🏻 Hope your practice goes well!

    40 years on 2 strokes off road, why would I want a 500 lb or 600 lb bike? Marketing has done a great job selling these monsters. Too many friends have broke themselves playing dirtbiker on huge bikes.
    I got a new 690, much more like a dirtbike.

    • @advmotoskillz
      @advmotoskillz  7 місяців тому

      Completely understand. I didn’t start out riding on dirt bikes, and I find them uncomfortable to ride 😅. It all comes down to the style of riding you enjoy.
      I have been trying my hand at dirt bikes lately, and they certainly need a different approach than an ADV bike.
      It all comes down to: the more a rider develops their skill, the more enjoyable the ride is, no matter what discipline!
