- I flew to California to ride with MotoJitsu in the twisties and practice slow speed skills with him. He showed me a trick I had never done before, and challenged me to incorporate it into my practice from now on to test my skills.

I let my dad test drive my Piaggio and he couldn't ride it he almost crashed it plus he said to heavy pick up what you think 🤔 it 560bls bike! Ms. Doolie 🌹
How would you compare MotoJitsu training with RideLikeaPro ?
You folks are mature people with good personalities. I am blessed to be in your presence. At age 74 and the first 150 miles under my belt, (23 years big rig driver in the North East accident free) I am following your directions because I like to be safe and in control.
@@tpilot_error404 I have watched many of both of their videos. There are 4 things you can do on a motorcycle, accelerate, shift, turn and stop. Everything else is a simple or advanced combination of those 4 things. Mastering the 4 things and keeping that mastery is the trick. Ridelikeapro teaches basic to advanced motor officer techniques which are fantastic things to learn especially the slow speed tight turns. Moto Jitsu does everything to include track ridding which takes ridding to another level where you can learn things taught no where else like trail braking and advanced leaning with the focus on maximum traction at the tires. From the videos I have seen Moto Jitsu does more active coaching with his students, Jerry uses green cones and I am not a fan of looking for or at cones, I want to look where I am going not at any cones. I have been riding 45 years and I was a MSF Instructor for 15 years. Practice is the key, the courses are great to teach you the techniques but you have to practice to gain the skills.
@@winchestereod okay. So basically it's about controlling the machine on batuman surface.
I agree on you with the cones , they good for practice but in real traffic one needs to watch traffic.
Attitude and watching seems most important to me .
I am always willing to learn , one never is a complete enough rider .
And with motorcycling there is such a variation. Dessert or snow riding , racetrack, gymkhana, speedway, cross, volontary bloodbikes ( uk) . Keeps my mind and body occupied and away from daily slumber . And after some days of heavy trucking n hauling I love getting out of the cage into fresh air.
I love that Doodle is constantly trying to improve her skills! It’s a realistic view of a lot of riders, whether it be fear, life getting busy, etc sometimes practicing falls to the way side.
Yeah, it happens!
Our local Harley dealer has practice sessions. The provide bikes and instructor.... And it's free. Going next Saturday. I learn new stuff all the time!
He has a no BS approach.Look me in the eye and make me cry but dont lie to me. My kind of guy.
Keep at it Doodle!!! :)
Thank you for what you do and what you have done for our wonderful country and it's amazing people. Of course including immigrants like Doodle!
Where can I get one of the books she was referring to? I went thru the msf classes but I’m pretty sure there was a lot left unsaid at the training .
Fast Eddie motojitsu is the best channel i came across you're awesome now i confidently ride my motorcycle to wherever i want and i know how to use my brakes effectively especially the front brakes when stopping fast or going down hills
Been watching your videos all the time. I’m thinking getting a Learner Permit in Australia. Watching yours and others videos are quite helpful and can help to make me a safe and confident Learner Rider.
I don't care how he delivers his knowledge. I'm just glad he shares.
I’m 47 and have been riding for many years. I started watching your videos because I have two daughters and was looking for females who ride to inspire them. So I shared your videos. But I can admit I’ve actually been inspired as well, and have learned a lot. Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
I’ve been following him for years now.
I can’t see him yelling at anyone!
Such a cool dude and great instructor
He is literally the reason why I just finished my MSF and passed. I was sucking on several of the training skills and when I got to the skills test I had a lot of doubt. I remembered a video I came across of his and he was sooooo calm I signed up and decided to give it a shot. On the skills test I did horrible during the first test... but nailed every test afterwards. I had his free flowing calm voice in my head telling me to get out of my head. You guys are changing lives. GO MOTO.
Your humility and teachability are so refreshing. You're very encouraging for us new riders who are looking to improve.
Ohhhh this was good!!! That visual of MJ’s Elvis move really helped me understand what part of my body needs to be where in tight turns. Thank you so much Doodle and Moto Jitsu for the edu ♥️
My hero. First two years had rough spots, but after that I treated each ride as a chance to practice something at least once during my ride. And sometimes I practiced out of traffic. 45 years no accident. Lets see if that can't be extended when I get my bike back on the road. Practice, practice, practice.
Great job Doodle! Your videos and can do attitude truly motivate to be a better ride. Thank you! As a Marine Vet very proud of MJ and his excellent teaching! 😊
Doodle is so open on what she needs to do and MJ is so knowledgeable. Practice practice practice is what I definitely need to do. Right now winter in Chicago area is not the time but when proper weather and no salt residue on the roads, practice before going on the first ride of the season. Let’s hope I do that. That has not been my “practice “ (pun intended).
Hi Doodle, these hints and tips are a great addition to your channel, and to see you on the pillion with MJ hanging off the other side, was pretty scaring, but he's in complete control and he literally chucks the bike about like it's weightless! Times have changed since I failed my first motorcycle test here in the UK for "incorrect use of the front brake" I've always used both brakes together, but the examiners view, it's for emergency only!! It's all about practice, practice, practice, to achieve your goal, and this is where you inspire us.!
" the examiners view, it's for emergency only!! "
I really hope they don't mean the front brake is "emergency use only" as that is by far the most important one for hard braking. Simple physics means that under hard braking the weight transfers towards the front. Braking hard using the rear will only slow you down relatively slowly while if you feed (never just suddenly snatch it on hard as the weight takes a moment to shift) the front brake on, you can pull it on so hard the rear would be useless anyway because you'll have shifted the load to the front and can even have the rear lift completely off the road so, that is something to be wary of, not frightened but just be ready to ease off to get the rear back on the ground. The front IS your most important, just looking at the difference tells you that too, tiny single discs on the rear and on most decent sports bike 2 massive discs hints at the importance of that front brake.
All this depends a lot on the bike you're riding too, a sports bike you should be using the front mostly when straight line braking I mostly ONLY use the front, while actually turning you need to be careful though, nothing worse than having the front wash out so care needs to be taken there. If you're on a long cruiser type bike you'll be more on the rear brake but still, the front will be the most effective at stopping you fairly quickly. It always depends on a few factors from type of bike, surface you're on, straight line or while turning and you need to allow for all those differences but, always the front will stop you faster than the rear. Myself, I rarely even use the rear brake, I use the front and engine braking on the rear which serves a double purpose, it helps slow you and at the same time will mean you're in the right gear to suddenly switch to powering on to avoid a situation or just to get going again without having to fight the gearbox down a bunch of gears from possibly a standstill.
@@lorditsprobingtime6668 Thanks for the great info! I'm remembering the day back in 1958, my test on my BSA B31 350cc OHV single cylinder drum brakes front and rear. The only reason for failure, incorrect use of the front brake!! when I asked, "what am I doing wrong with the front brake" sorry, we are not allowed to discuss the test, was his reply. After I crumpled the form and threw it at him, "it's for emergency use only" was his crazy reply!! Police riders advice I had read previously, was to always brake using both brakes together. This was a Ministry of Transport test centre, the examiners, mostly retired Army top brass, would position themselves at a different position to watch you ride past. I passed my next test by only using my front brake in the emergency stop test. That's the crazy truth!! If ever I applied the rear brake only, at speed, the back end would bounce up and down, no way could you stop with just the rear brake! I put it down to crazy old farts!!
Hey John, I learned when you start learning to ride use 70% rear brake and 30% front, then swap it up as you advance (get better practiced) to 30% rear and 70% front braking.
I love it! Nice to see two of my favorite youtubers together making a great instructional video!
Love both of y’all’s channels and keep up the great content. I’m going to practice again tomorrow!
Love MJ and he is the reason I subscribed to you... I love your fresh perspective especially because I am a new rider.... And, I love learning and practicing with you both.
US Army Veteran I have been riding for over 55yrs and I am 75yrs old and still riding my Indian Scout 60 2021 model. rock on Doodle y Dios te Bendiga siempre.
I think you mentioned not using the rear brake during slow speed skills before in an earlier video - glad to see this is the source! I've actually been practicing that myself after you said it was a challenge for you during that video. Your learning has really helped me as well. =)
I was today old when I heard MJ was in the Corps. But I’ve seen him “counting” in his other videos. Only USMC Drill Instructors can count wrong so fast.
Both of you provide great videos. Thanks. 🤘🇺🇸
I like this video of you two collaborating and showing your true sides of fear and self responsibility also helping one another 👍🏽👍🏽🏍
great stuff, thanks! I'm practicing for my final endorsement test soon. The winter has made it hard to get out and practice in parking lots but I did get a lot of off road in. It's amazing how the skills don't really translate as well as you think they would. It's a whole different animal on the pavement! Hope to get out and practice this week if the weather cooperates.
I Got the book a couple years back now! Awesome teacher! Am going for my test by the start of next year
thanks to great insight from you and other you tuber's like Moto Jitsu
Stay amazing you guys, salute from UK
I love watching stuff like this!! thank you both!
One of the BEST Motorcycle videos I have ever seen! Thanks for the great conversation! BTW I was a MSF Instructor for 20 years. I just sent this to my daughter to remind her to practice practice practice!!! Thanks
DOAM and MJ, channels like yours have saved countless bikers and keep saving more. Thank you and keep it up. God Bless.
Good Video. I always tell my new rider friends to go out and practice in a parking lot on Sunday mornings.
I love all the great information! Thanks for sharing!!!
MJ I aways liked your videos. You deserve mad respect for the influence and art you PRACTICE. 🙏🏍
I love it Doodle that you are always taking training classes and being open about your fears. Find you a big parking lot with no traffic in it and pick up some small cones then go there several times a week a use your training 😎😎
Excellent video!!! I’ll be watching it over and over again.
I have lots of respect for you Doodle, because you can easily just be cute and get views, but instead, you've decided to actually work hard to become a better rider. And it inspires me to do the same...not the be cute part, the hard work part.
Once upon a time I was motor cop. Grad of HD's Motor Operator course and HD Motor Instructor courses. One fateful day, not 15 minutes into my shift a distracted driver turned left in front of me. i was at 60 mph. Emergency braking was not enough. I has headed for the passenger side door and not enough distance to stop. At the last moment I released the brakes and veered hard to my right (Brake & Escape), placing me in front of the vehicle. He still struck me broadside and caused a terrible crash, but I'm convinced that this was far better than me striking him broadside. That sudden stop upon impact would have likely been deadly. Instead, i had some nasty road rash, minor broken bones, and a lot of soft tissue injuries. But I survived.
Hey, I like this, it’s interesting and fun! I’m new to your channel, and new to motorcycling here in the UK. I pick up my bike tomorrow, and I took 2 days off work, principally to go out, concentrate on riding, and start building my skills, and understanding. Yes, it may be only 2 days, but it will be 16 hours of learning before I need to start commuting, so thanks Dood and MJ, this is great, and informative 🙏🙏
Braking in a parking lot is one thing, braking at higher speeds another, and braking at higher speeds on different terrain (different types of asphalt, bumpy roads, gravel, etc.) is another, add some slight turning angle to it is another, and then making sure you can stop completely without putting your foot down and taking off at max acceleration is when you’ve really started to master things. Also, has to be done on very different bikes.
Hi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! You are an awesome rider let me say, and practice anytime even at your neighborhood and before going live in the road, makes a huge difference. You'll notice down the road. Take care and stay safe.
🤘🤘🤘 so much knowledge right here. Going from practice to permanent.
Love this guy! For his delivery
Thank you for this!!!
I liked that he said "I dropped my bike like 6 times practicing that". My discouragement from Greg is I've never seen him make a mistake. My cynical side gets triggered when he is so perfect. I forget the channel, they are older videos but it was a motor officer refresher class. It was encouraging knowing what they go through to see the mess up at first than progress.
Find courage that comes from within yourself and others will never discourage you. Take the blame on, no blaming others for what we do.
Thanks for very useful information on riding motorcycles.
I love to see young enthusiasts learning the ropes. I started riding in 1964 and motorcycles have been a huge part of my life ever since. Most of my income has been derived from my love of them. There was a time when we couldn't get our young off the couch. That's still a big problem, but motorcycle enthusiasm is on the rise once again. I LOVE it!!!!
MJ would have to be one of my favourite bike vids.
Fantastic educational video! Love MJ. Recently discovered Doodle! Subbed.
The comment about fear resonated with me- thanks for sharing doodle!
He is so amazing! I hear him in my helmet telling me to pull into that parking lot and practice all the time! I'm glad you got so much out of your trip to see him. It is definitely a goal of mine to do the same one day! ❤️🌈🏍️
My two favorite moto vloggers together! Keep up the great work both of you!
great guy, been watching his videos and learned more about safe riding.
Really enjoyed this video and I totally related to 1. Fear 2. Lack of practice. I constantly feel I’m being told the same things in off road riding courses and not progressing to the next level as I never practice and somehow always need to relearn everything 😆
Awesome video, yes I'll get out and start getting back into practice! And MJ, I've subbed too!
I’m feeling inspired to go to a car park with some cones. MJ’s comments about before and after practicing emergency stops hits home.
Fantastic video, I could just drink you in! And the knowledge. I was transfixed the entire video.
I haven't ridden my bike (Honda CBR650F) for over 5 months, since having a back/disc problem. Well now I'm almost ready to get back on it, but it's scary. I'm 52 years old, passed my full bike test in September 2020 (the year of death, with multiple lesson and test cancellations due to Covid), so getting into this a bit late.
So, I practiced as often as I could and was around the brown/blue belt stage of Moto Jitsu, but now I'm nervous, just about pulling out of my driveway!
Sorry for the ramble, I didn't intend saying all that. I just wanted to say....thank you. I watch a lot of UA-cam bike vlogs, but you're amazing. You are so honest and show your vulnerability; you're the best and a huge inspiration!!
I just stumbled on to your channel. What a great video.
Hi: I’m 69 years old and I have been riding for 50 years. Due to some back issues, I haven’t been riding as much. You’ve BOTH inspired me SO MUCH to work on these skills. I’m currently riding a 2012 BMW R1200rt. I’m very fearful of dropping it on these drills and I’m shopping for crash guards. Thanks again MJ and Doodle! I’ve subscribed to both of your channels.
Great information video. I learned early about using front brake, in fact, I learned it so well that it took me a while to realize I had no rear brake on a Gold Wing I did not ride often. I bled the brakes and all was good. But, this told me that I learned that lesson well, front brakes are more effective.
Very educational video thanks doodle👍
I'd like to see a video of you practicing so mayb I can do the same practice ... Thanks for videos
This is great. I have the Moto Jitsu book but I need to start again in my training. I've been riding since the late sixties I try to see myself as a beginner, open to improve myself. Resting on our laurels is a foolish game.
Best
My favorite statement, " I want to make all of you OLD motorcyclist."
This guy moto jitsu is the best instructor ive seen , he explains everything so clear & you want to absorb all he is saying👍😝🇦🇺🕺
I watched this video and I would have to agree with just about everything you said about emergency stop and go procedure, I have been riding for more than 45 years now so I have a little experience in riding.
Semper Fi Doodle. Former Marine here. About to return to riding on I hope an 03 Speed Triple I have my i on. Watching channels like yours for a refresher.
Awesome skills great knowledge 👍🏼
To heck what others say about MJs delivery, he's the BEST out there!! Go Greg!!
Stay safe. Improve through practice...so inspirational
Loved it… palladino, mc rider, jitsu n you my faves … my landlord was a motorcycle cop 31 years and went to motorman instructor school with Palladino in the day … I learned on a 1300 cc Honda st rode on road sept 11 only missed 3 days so far practice at least 2 times a week
Admitting to fear, especially publicly, takes courage. Respect.
I really appreciate you doing this. In the netherlands, emergency braking is one of the things they make you do in front of an examinor. They make you travel at 30 mph or 50 km per hour and stop on a dime by hitting both brakes full! I am kinda scared and sceptical when I see how easy it is to get a license in the US. Keep practising ladies and gentlemen!
Motorcycles never stop on a dime, it will Endo( rear up) or crash if you forcibly stop it immediately, you should always slow down to a stop a motorcyle, a motorcycle only has two wheels, only cars can stop on a dime :D even that is hard to do since it will still slip a bit.
I agree with your shock at how easy it is to get a licence in the US. British / UK riders have a number of written examinations and practical tests to successfully perform before they can qualify for a licence to ride. It takes a bit of time to work up through the grades before you can get on a powerful bike.
Unfortunately in America they will give anybody a driver's license or motorcycle license and the penalties are not harsh enough. Imagine a sixteen-year-old boy that can purchase a motorcycle that goes from 0 to 60 and 2.23 seconds and has a top speed of over 180 mph. And you don't even have one months riding skills🤯🤯
Emergency stopping is a part of the skills test in America. But even when emergency stopping, you NEVER slam on both brakes "full". The video and other youtube videos covers what you actually do during emergency braking.
We have the same thing in the motorcycle test in France
Love watching your videos. Practice makes good!! My teacher and mentor was Mario Duhamel. Got a new machine coming-Honda NC750X. Last one was a CB650R. I am getting too old for cramped seating position.
Just bumped into your channel yesterday.
This teacher us awesome!
Wrong Front brake usage in novice riders gets them into accidents all the time.
Hey,thanks for being decent enough to let us come along for your education because I learn everyday too and I am old as dirt.
Your American vet teacher - thank you for your service sir- is spot on about being careful who you ride with.
Just a great video from two great caring people.
Please ride and stay safe and keep up the great video work.
Hey hey hey writing this as war thing the video end.
Never ever negative judge yourself badly for trying to learn and making mistakes.
I make mistakes but try to learn from them everyday.
The perfect people are the ones picking their teeth out of car fenders.
Glad I found this channel
MJ is amazing - brilliant, common sense.
love me some slow speed training and practice. been a couple years since i had a bike now have my dream bike the street glide. bit heavier than my sporsters and gsxr's.
I kept getting recommended your videos because I’ve been watching a couple other training channels, so I watched a couple of yours and hey it’s great! So many people don’t get out these days they’re stuck online off in their own little world. Haven’t heard of this guy but from the intro I was really hoping to learn some new insults lol. He didn’t yell once 🤣. I’ve rode maybe 7 years but once I went to a 900+ lb bike I realized I need some polishing for slow maneuvering. Keep the rubber side down 👍
Been riding for over 50 yrs, was in the M/C biz for 20, road raced for 7. Your advice is spot on. Learn to go slow first. Set up pop bottles in your fav safe place and learn to turn steering lock to steering lock as slow as you can without putting your feet down. Extremely slow in straight line using clutch n brake. I practice slow quick stops also, but practice high-speed stops too. In a safe rural area from a safe higher speed, pick a stationary object as breaking point and practice braking using both brakes and down shifting. You WILL get better and confident. Modern bikes and brakes are amazing and you will be a much better rider for it.
It's your first video I'll have to watch twice, I needed to hear that..! We all do..!!!
My favorites UA-camr motojitsu my boy! And your becoming rad to me as well I love your demo rides!
Very informative great information 👍
Another great video! thanks
THANKS!!👍👍
Love how the biker community helps each other. Slow speed knee dragging might be the best slow speed skill to learn. Do a video with MJ showing you how.
Slow speed PEG Dragging... Knee dragging should be something left for the track. Low speed PEG DRAGGING requires counter lean movement. Bike leans more than you do. (Hence, you can drag your pegs) To knee drag, you are using the physics of the bike at speed to force your tires and suspension to compress and allow you to lean your body over with your bike to drag your knee or even your elbows (Watch the MotoGP guys and World SB guys). You want to do this on a surface you know to be good, like a race track. You CAN do it on the road, but there are so many variables, like gravel, oil or coolant that you may not know about that may cause your "cool corning" to end in a low side or high side. Just my $0.02 CDN on the matter.
okay I am 67 been riding since I was 22 on a 650 Yamaha until 7 months ago when i bought my ( Harley FLHX Ture glide ). Hear is what I want to say. I thought I new how to ride. You just showed me that I have a lot to learn. I'm glad i seen this video thank you for doing these videos
Another amazing video. Love MJ, and I try to practice often because my precious cargo (wife) is worth the effort
Okay okay! I'll practice it! Thank you! :)
I think you nailed it. No matter what you're doing: "every time you're on the road going from point A to point B, have a list of techniques to refresh and perfect", and more importantly for anything requiring motor skills: "smooth+slow=fast".
I’ve only been riding for about 650 miles (1 month and 10 days) but MotoJitsu is like my Sensei.
He taught me how to counter steer, how to trail brake, how to swerve, how to emergency brake and a bunch more.
I have his app I need to make time to go to a parking lot and set up some drills. For now I just do, like he also taught, me and practice in cul-de-sacs and neighborhoods. I was probably 350 miles in with just neighborhoods and some back roads.
Now I take it to work (on Fridays) and downtown and up down the frontage roads in my town. If I have to run an errand, I jump on my bike.
Love this guy!
I definitely can relate to the fear factor! I’ve only been riding for 2 summers (live in WI) and don’t get a lot of seat time. However, I think a certain amount of fear can be a good thing and keep you safe when riding. I think it can keep you engaged and alert. Just my opinion 😊
Be careful the first week or so back on the bike. At the start of summer there always seems to be a lot of riders crashing. I ride all year so I'm usually ok but even after a few weeks off the bike after an overseas holiday or the bike needs repairs I get a bit rusty on the skills.
Fear is a bad adviser on a bike. It makes you freeze. Its better to be honest to yourself about what risks are there when you ride, adn decide wether its worth it for you or not. I have been taken off my bike without any mistake on my side more times than i can count (driving in the city for >30 years). The danger is simply part of it and there is nothing you can do about it.
I soooo agree that practice over just riding is so important. I rode every day to and from work daily for 3 years and would ride for fun on the weekend and running errands on weekends. But I would also practice on the weekends too. My skills went way up! Loved it. The working remotely stopped that :( That aside I think I'm a pretty good technical rider. Question - I have had a DCT bike for nearly 5 years now and also have a twist an go Yamaha YP400. Any tips for those types of bikes for slow-speed maneuvers....? I've just been winging it because the 2 bikes I have are so entirely different. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I had an Africa Twin DCT and now a Rebel 1100 DCT. The back brake is your clutch in slow speed work. There have been a couple of UA-cam instructors who have talked about that.
Good stuff i really like MJ's stuff been watching him for some time and own his books, you have spent time with Motorman and he preaches rear brake I think he recently learned from the guys at Champ school when he was out testing on the HD ST models in Arizona about using more front brake, I wonder if that changed the way he thinks about braking for low speed. I have seen a lot of people drop their bikes from using the front brake on low-speed maneuvers so I still wonder about that one myself.
Really useful stuff which can save lives. Thank you.
Yes I was doing Parking lot practice over and over again 40 years ago to gain confidence and it worked
Everything he is saying is bang on!
Most excellent, Sgt...
that is amazing information
I have found the same thing when training riders on the small track at Road America. Every rider I have trained for years does not use braking as well as they can, need to learn it, need to practice it, and need to get good at it.
Nice tips, I’m guilty I never practice emergency braking 🥴
Great stuff. And I miss San Diego…bad.
After winter break I always drive to a parking lot, do a few emergency breaks and practice tight circles.
