Riding dirt bikes in sand, clay, mud, snow for years, before ever hopping on a road bike was invaluable experience.
I bet! I never really rode dirt bikes before. I would like to try it though! Appreciate you watching!
Most sketchy time on gravel was when my mom had a new load of gravel on her driveway. Heavy bike sunk in it like the titanic and I was fortunate to keep her up. Always good to practice outside the comfort zone !
Deep gravel is no joke. That is one of the very few times I’m ok with duck walking while turning. You turn your wheel too much with your feet up, you’re going down! Ask me how I know 😂
Great tips Joe...gotta love the challenges from comments. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍
Love the challenge comments! Gives me more ideas for videos 😂 Thanks for watching brother
Very educational…thank you…..I ride a Honda NC750DCT……I do practice in a car park, but never tried this on gravel…..I really find that looking level and where you want to go…..just does the job, and subtle back brake…..but I still need to practice on gravel….thanks for sharing
No problem at all. Yes, keeping your head and eyes up is very important! Appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback.
Its all about the friction zone baby!!! It's amazing what you can get the bike to "stand up" through w/ controlled power to the rear wheel.
You’ve got that right Steve! I appreciate you watching!
Excellent tip!
Thank you! :
Great Vid Joe!!
Thanks Jeff!
Outstanding video Joe, myself having a quarter of a mile gravel driveway it makes for great practice straight up😊 because you ARE going to encounter Gravel out there!
Thanks Bart! You are 100% correct. I know when I first started riding gravel freaked me out. Now I’m making U-turns on it for fun 😂 Appreciate you watching brother!
Hi Joe Goe, amazing execution, hate coming contact with loose gravel, thank you for making this video, Ride Hard💪🏼, Be Blessed 🙏🏽, Aloha Kenneth 🤙🏽
No problem at all Kenneth! Hopefully this makes it a little better for you. I appreciate you watching!
Love this...Im going to try it.
Let me know how it goes! I appreciate you watching!
@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures I will!
Great job Joe!
Thanks brother! I think our next slow race should be in a gravel pit 😂
@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures maybe I'll have a chance!!😂😂😂
@@RidingandWrenching 😂😂
Great video. Any sidecar videos out there? Have a GL1500 with CSC sidecar and always looking for tips.
Thank you! I’m sure there’s someone out there! Maybe I’ll add it to my list 🤔
You've really come into your own and have gained my respect as a legit rider and NOT just a youtuber. It has been great watching your journey and the variety of content provided.... well, except for that "Chuck" silliness. Thank you
I really appreciate that! But everyone loves Chuck! 😂😂 Thank you for following me on my journey.
This guy doesn't miss!!
Oh believe me, I definitely miss sometimes 😂 Thanks Beatrix!
@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures 😁
Nice bike! 😊 How do you like it so far? Love your videos
Thank you! I absolutely love it…when it works 😂 There were a lot of glitches in the beginning (expected on 1st gen models) but they have been taking care of them. I definitely don’t regret my purchase. It’s awesome!
Tight uturn for not leaning the bike. I need to practice more in the gravel, dirt, and uneven surfaces.
Yes sir! We gotta practice for all situations. The bike can actually make an 18ft U-turn without leaning. Appreciate you watching!
Leeeeeeeeets goooooooooo
……yoooooo Joe!!!
🤘😎🤘
I turn this way everywhere. There could be gravel or sand on most paved roads I ride.
Awesome job Joe. You definitely have to keep it straight up 🆙 on gravel.
Yes sir! Appreciate you watching brother!
Sorry, but that's impossible. You can't turn a bike w/o leaning. The higher the speed the more lean angle you need. So what you're really doing is to go so slow that the bike barely leans on it's side.
what advice for 10' uturn ?? 22' is a cake walk
Well, I don’t have any advice for a 10’ u-turn on gravel. Unless you’re riding a mini bike, I don’t think you’ll be able to 😂 But I’m sure there’s someone out there that can prove me wrong
And the other way......go out find a rat bike rider to show it to you......left foot down, handlebars lock left, lean left, rev engine hold it, pull front brake(the good ones don't need the front brake) pop clutch and just slide it around...........learn first on grass
There's an anti-harley utubr fortnine that can show you this on adventure bike(there is a video)
It's what I did 50y ago on dirt bike....and even on the blacktop, had to rev it higher.....of course I haven't ridden a dirt bike in 50y, and my bones are too brittle to start again.......my bikes don't go off road
I guess that’s another way to do it 😂
REALLY ??? CHOPPERGIRL is very insecure riding like we can... we need to teach her not to be skeered... very nice video my friend !!!
😂😂 you don’t know what ya don’t know I guess! Thanks Lee!
I try not to do u-turns, then I pray I don’t fall🤣🤣🤣
You don’t have to pray to not fall if you practice! A U-turn can be simple if you use the right technique. It’s one of the most common practical exercises you’ll use while riding in the real world. Spend some time in the parking lot practicing, you’ve got this!
I bought at 49, a gsxr 750😬, even the guy selling it told me, it’s not a beginner bike, my brother told me I was going to die🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, which intrigued me even more, well now I’m 51, a woman, and have learned how to lane split, and everything else, I still pray on the u turns
@julieherbst4445 you’d be amazed how much slow speed techniques transfer over to riding at speed. Plus when you learn how to ride at slow speeds, it makes your experience so much more enjoyable!
