*There's a tribble on your shirt collar.* That's the trouble with tribbles, isn't it?
For what it's worth, I've been riding for 41 years and whenever I get a new bike one of the first things I do is practice at low speeds in an empty parking lot. I like to master the bike by turning the tightest circles that I can at the lowest possible speeds and then I expand the circle and gradually increase speed. Another drill is emergency stopping at various speeds just to get a good feel for the brakes and characteristics of the bike. One mistake that I avoid is hopping on a different bike right after riding a totally different style bike. You have to give your brain time to adjust and then make some strong mental notes (hope that makes sense).
Yes absolutely. A supersport will brake much quicker than a cruiser, but it may be easier to do a tighter circle with the cruiser
U r osm broo
But how many miles do you have under your belt?
That's what matters...
Years are meaningless.
Thank you for sharing!
Tnx bro im gonna start riding soon
I almost dropped my bike practicing a slow uturn in an empty lot. I struggled with giving it enough throttle and finding the friction zone. I can ride at 50 mph all day but these tips are important.
I've been riding for over 30 years and I did drop my bike trying out one these tight turn video tips about a year ago. It was pretty much a static drop and only a snapped brake lever luckily. Gave me an excuse to buy some nice shorties. I still suck at tight turns.
I dropped mine yesterday, and the fender got fucked so now i’m not making that mistake again lol
I statically dropped mine 2 times yesterday. It's just a learning curv and expects it for a new rider
Raise rpm
Find friction zone
Counterbalacing
Turn head to shoulder
Apply rear brake
Don't look down you will go down
The lower you lean your bike the smaller you can make your circle. Even to 17 feet.
Thats it .
You forgot: discombobulate
So remember, RFCTADTYT. Simple!
I dropped my bike ... bc I was looking down. And not going fast enough on a sharp turn/curve. Youre exactly right.
@@davidbesant 😀
And never use your front brake! Be surprised how many folks make that mistake while turning
I just passed my test today! This video helped me a lot. The one thing I struggled with was committing to the turn 🤦🏽♂️
Congrats man! Happy and safe riding.
Get a Busa and get it over with........ :D jking..
Congrats, ride safe
Keep practicing Brother, we never quit learning! Ride safely…
Instead of making sharp turns that you're afraid of, just go around the block.
I’ve been riding for 5 years and I still find these small tips and tricks useful to brush up on just for a refresher on the fundamentals! Always learning more if you wanna get better at riding guys !
Got my bike yesterday (125cc here I only need car license for those) today trained for 2h+ and made +20km (+12 miles) on a parking lot using many of your tips on breaking, turning and using engine to slow down, head turn etc, then starting all over again but turning right. Thanks a lot man, still working on my lane position. Being ultra careful on those blind turns also. Your work is amazing and you are saving lifes with your tips and lessons. Big thanks from Portugal!
Was it hard to learn riding motorbikes? Im thinking of getting a motorcycle
@@jozojozojozo4483 Not riding the bike is hard. I believe you can learn in 1-2 hours with someone's help. Handle the bike safely is the difficult.
@@slothyfromnemmondod what do you mean? Not driving recklessly and dangerous?
I practiced this just yesterday, along with your turn from a stop. I tapped the ground twice with my foot in total, so it went pretty well. Practice up peeps!!
that is some manly chest hair sticking out there Dan.... ;}
Pretty sure thats part of his beard that fell off
He's so manly his own chest hair is jumping out of his shirt saying I want some camera time too.
Thought he had a squirrel in his shirt.
Austin powers
Lol think it's a wind screen for the mic
as someone who is getting into riding i really appreciate all that you do on this channel as i am someone who has the point of view of safe is fast. riding isnt about how fast you can go but how safe and how in control you are so your videos are just a breath of fresh air from many other channels who just review the bike or tell you things to do. you show, demonstrate, and encourage safety. keep up the great content and would kill to have some lessons from. probably will never happen but hey a boy can dream.
I am soo glad you are doing this series, AND involving the community. Thank you Dan!
Brilliant video, between you and fast Eddie I've learned a lot about reading the road, slow exercises, and loads more. Thanks for the videos.
I just stumbled upon this youtube video after watching some Aussie videos just getting a heads up on whats expected on test day for ones licence. I wanted to make sure I know what I am up for and the confidence in my abilities is there when I commit. I had my learners 30 years ago and never took the next step. So, Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this video its terrific. I was worried about the tight u-turns I need to do as I couldn't do them without putting my foot down. I didn't know that counter-balancing was needed. That is such an important thing to know and now I am eager to give it a try. I am looking forward to seeing what else you can teach me. This is great, I shall save the videos I need to re-watch for further reference and hopefully I will be well informed when I get my bike, be well practised and pass my licence. I didn't even know about using throttle friction for certain manoeuvres even though I do know how to do it. I am super excited to learn properly and can't say thanks enough.
Hi mate, I have been having trouble with these and always putting my foot down instead of counter-balancing. I watched your video a few times and it really helped. Today I had my license test and passed first go thanks to your help. Much love and gratitude from down under 🇦🇺 Perth, Western Australia 🤙🏻
I’ve been practicing these on my Goldwing. Right ones are tougher and counterbalancing is great.
This is really nice and educative. I just started riding 11months back, started with a 300cc, stepped up to a 1000cc now; no crashes on both bikes with more than 2000km on each and I attribute this to all I've learnt watching ur videos on road strategy and accidents. MC rider and Fast eddy videos also were of great help. God bless u for what u are doing. This is Maximus fm Nigeria. Out!
Peer pressure got to you huh?
There are speed limits, and 99% of the population has no idea what kind of bike you're riding. 99% of the people on the road think an R3 is no different than an R1. Spending almost 20k on a liter bike is completely impractical for most people.
What is the moral of the story? Don't think you need a liter bike just to impress your doofus buddies and less than 1% of the population.
Edit: You are still a beginner. My two crashes didn't happened until after I had 70k miles under my belt.
I sent the money, Max.
I wouldn't recommend stepping up to the big bikes until you've dropped the smaller bikes. Nothing like grazed skin and bruises to teach you to not to go overboard and the importance of riding within your skill level.
I'm glad my first bike was very cheap and just a standard 250 with no fairings. It copped a bit of abuse the first few months. I tested my limits a bit too much and wasn't paying enough attention to road surfaces or maintenance. One time I dropped it because the chain was so loose it came off and locked up the rear wheel around a corner. Luckily it was a slow corner and I'm pretty careful about that sort of stuff now. Another time I dropped it because my tyres were almost bald and a car stopped suddenly in front of me. Now I buy decent tyres and make sure to replace them long before they get bald.
You might not be as silly as me when I first started riding but a lot of people drop their bikes when they start out.
Are you the “Nigerian Prince” who scams folks for money, or are u more like Peter Pan???? 😆
What do you mean by this comment?????????
I am a new moto driver and your videos helped me to build up my mind set changing from car driving to moto, I am still building my gear change ability (which feels harder than i expected) and the friction/throttle control, practice, practice and more practice, until becoming a bit more confident I will wait to go into big city, thank you for your info.
Great content! I practice all basic skills each time I ride; clutch/throttle manipulation, start and stop, slow speed turning (stop, u-turns) in both directions, weaving, obstacle avoidance and quick stop braking. Usually do many at slow and then as close to speed as I typically ride...0-75 mph. Always feels good to know you can stop, swerve, or turn the bike where YOU want it to go.
There's a saying among us motorcycleists when it comes to Noobies: Any idiot can ride straight and fast, but can the same idiot ride circles and slow? Both skills are essential in today's traffic conditions.
Finally catching up to a weeks worth of content by @DanDanTheFireman. Been busy with work, but been thinking about brushing up on my fundamental skills, which I think is important during quarantine.
Thank you! Just went from a Ninja 400 to a V-Strom 1000 and this helped me take my turning circle from scared to lean a big boi back to nice and tight really whipping it within 2 parking spaces. Feels awesome!
Super helpful! The butt scoot helps a bunch for the vertically challenged. I found right turns harder bc I found the clutch harder to manage furthest away from me
On a funny note, I thought a piece of your beard fell off and stuck to your shirt... haha - Great video, looking forward to more in this series.
That's his chest hair Rob!! Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Same 😆
I thought he had a chest dreadlock of some kind
You ever see that pissed off British kid like 5 yr old or something says he will punch his dad's beard off 😂
Yay! Thank you for putting this out Dan! Really wnjoy these types of learning oportunities with you. :)
Thanks for the video Dan! I enjoy practicing slow speed skills. I watch you and Jerry.
Additional tip for any slow speed manoeuvres which also works here: utilise your rear break. Easier to control your speed and balance with the rear break AND clutch, than it is to just use the clutch
I have a question about that if you don’t mind. I failed my MSF course yesterday and that was one of the main reasons why. I kept going wide on my upturns and didn’t have the confidence to counter steer properly. When using the rear brake, are you pressing down on the rear brake the whole time or only as needed and also how much pressure do u need to apply?
getting flashback to my figure 8 training in Singapore. Part of the driving lessons and test includes a slow figure course where you are supposed to maintain a certain speed while you're in the track.
I watched this prior to my MSF eval and it helped me ace the U-turn. Thanks Dan!
So glad I can help!
Halfway through my riding course (finishing tomorrow) this is the one thing I was struggling with but I’m really looking forward to getting better with it
This video helped me become more successful in slow speed 90deg. Angle turn and my U-Turn allowing me to pass my MSF course, thanks!
Thank you man 🙌🏻 keep up the good work with these great videos!
Thank you for this ❤️ ur the best uv saved my life in my crash and I will always respect and support you
If you listen to Jerry ( ride like a pro) he will tell you that dragging the rear brakes helps with slow speed maneuvering. It seem that most of his student are on larger bikes.
It definitely helps on my street glide
It is good for any bike
@@frankhubbardiv8711 it helps on my Heritage Softail too! I just instinctually use the rear brake for slow maneuvers and it hasn't failed me yet.
That's the only way to do it. All "professional" riders are taught rear brake manipulation. Keep the throttle loaded, play with the friction zone of thr clutch, but use the rear brake to control your speed.
I just started riding bike. I am very lightweight and the butt shuffle for counter balancing helped amazingly. All tips very helpful. Thanks
We had lots of such exercises in my school. Actually instructors insisted on repeating them until we managed to successfully u-turn inside 1.5-2 parking slots depending on a motorcycle 9 out of 10 times. Then we added full stops right in the middle of it and then continue turning further without touching the ground with our legs. And by the end of the course this had become a completely regular and easy thing to do. And the exam was ridiculously easy to pass after all those exercises. After the course I was surprised to see that so many experienced bikers can’t perform it. I understood what a great instructors I got lucky to find only after I actually passed the exam and got to city driving. And I still keep on coming to my school to get more and more knowledge and skills from those guys. Not only for safety reasons but also for fun. I now love doing more and more difficult exercises on a parking lot. It gives so much fun and pleasure to me
Great lesson slow skills are so important and often overlooked for all out speed. My dad recently got a Honda Valkyrie a 780 pound cruiser he of course let me ride it. He thought a u turn on it was impossible until i busted one in the drive way. He is a far better rider than me but hasn't been on a bike in 10 years so he'll get it. When i first got my magna i went to the parking lot everyday for a few hours.
Thanks for producing these videos Dan! They've been a big help to me.
New rider here all motorcycle driving courses are sold out now. And your videos have shown me so much. Thanks for all the content keep up the great work
Daaaammmnnnn been looking for that trick. Did that by accident once for a turn and didn't exactly know what I did but the turn felt so easy. Thanks for the bitt cheek off technique
I really appreciate this Dan Dan. I don’t have anyone I know to help me with my new bike. You’re a helpful man
riding for 45 years now. great vid mate you certainly help avid riders +10 100% respect i still find useful with years of exp Thank you Dan. We never had riding tip or school in the 70s 80s 90s it was just learn by making mistakes infact never heard of any such thing as riding school till 2005
Thanks Dan, always good to learn new skills from you. Keep up the good work. Charlie from Downunda. (Australia) 😊👍
Good one! I've been working on this for awhile. I do pretty good considering the bike is over 1000lbs. Butt cheek and pressing and putting my weight on the counterbalancing side is getting my turns tight. Takes a while. Thanks for posting!
What kind of bike do you have that’s over 1,000lbs?
@@kaseyod113 probably a Harley
Awesome tutorial Dan! Going to practice very soon 👍
You’re a great instructor! Thanks for this video it helps a lot!
Great lesson! I usually didnt throw away any rocks back then because I know sometimes there will be rock(s) in the middle of the turn, and I got to know how to handle
Thanks Dan. head and eyes, friction zone and some rear brake!
i love the way you have sponsors but just get straight to the point, nicely done
Where I live only car parks around supermarkets are safe to do slow speed practice (after hours of course). But they are all on slight inclines and all have trees planted through out. Having those physical barriers has really helped tighten up my uturns. Pretty consistently just outside 2 carspaces. My problem is a cone weave (requirement for advanced course for license) where the cones are in a straight line. Have no problem weaving and leaning at speed. Soon as I slow down everything just feels sluggish
I also drag rear brake a little. Amazing how slow and tight of a turn you can take with slight rear brake.
Hey I was in Tucson last week it was so so quiet .. it’s sad to see it that way be careful with covid19 ya ll be safe👍👍
Thank you sir it's always good to stay sharp when riding that's why I tune in thank you!
I know that instructors always say to look over your shoulder when starting to make your U-turn. I've also seen instructors/riders(police?) focus on the center of the U-turn (and circle). I also find it easier sometimes to focus on the center. I thought having seen you do that as well at some point in the video. What is your opinion about using the center of the turn circle to make the turn. Thank you.
Every Dan video is great and useful. Thanks, man!
Great video! Like you said, I have more problems with a right hand 180. I didn't think about the throttle hand being a BIG part of the problem. Next time I practice, I'll try the "butt cheek" method to help with counter-weighting. Many thanks!
First coaching video on how to from dan dan. Love it
That's the first thing i practice fpr a little bit every new riding season. Refreshing these skills is always very good
Dude, I legit thought your mike was corona style chest hair. Ride safe my friend.
what's coronavirus chest hair?
@@twrcrew8852 ppl aren't shaving because they're not going out
@@NotABot-px7ky oh lol. my chest doesn't do that, but my arm hairs full blaze even when shut.
Ditto
Hats of for you sir you are one of the best in my eye keep it up be safe 👍👍👍👍
Am a new rider didn't know about the counter weight I was leaning into it and going wide Everytime or almost dropping the bike so this helps a lot thank you
Thanks a million for this video man, it is a bit difficult turning...appreciate it.
Thanks Dan , amazing video .I'm struggle with my right side ,This video Helps me lot .I wanna try this way.
First time on your channel Dan. Awsome. Subscribed mate
Sir I'm a new rider and your videos have to helpful. Just wanted to say thankyou for your videos and service. As a firefighter.
"Your burrito" lol boy years ago i just to watch you do burrito runs on your sporster cafe . I'm glad you still like them
Thanks for the great tips. BTW, what drone are you using?
I love slow speed maneuvers. Call you local sheriff's motorcycle dept and ask them when/where their next practice will be. You'll be amazed at their skills.
Counter weighting is a good technique to use for several reasons but the most important is the use of the friction zone. Being in the friction zone is what keeps the bike from falling. You had your knees pointed out on that second run ha ha
Knees! Haha yes you got it.
Wait really? I've always had the clutch all the way out through roundabouts and u turns. Guess I forgot that from my rider course oops. Thanks, I'll be practicing that!
@@mrroams5812 If you have your clutch all the out then if you have any throttle input during your turns all the power goes to the rear wheel which tends to make your turns choppy. By staying in the friction zone this helps to regulate the power to the rear wheel which will smooth out your turns.
@@mrroams5812this is used for slow speed turns like u turns. I wanted to make sure I didn't confuse you.
@@ProriderCentralTexasUA-cam Yeah, thanks. I guess I was thinking more about saving the clutch and avoiding slipping it, but it is definitely necessary at times like this.
I’m so happy I found this video, I have a big heavy naked (BMW R1200R) myself. Most people who show these tricks have a sub 700cc little naked. Of course it’s more agile. But now seeing you doing it on the Indian, I’m amazed what these big bikes can do. Oh yeah, and I’ve seen lots of maneuvering videos on 1200GS, it’s amazing.
This man is GOLD on youtube, esp his accident reviews, amazing
Awesome....you make it look EASY! Thanks for sharing!
It DOES get easy the more you try it during your rides this summer. Concentrating on where you "look" (head turned) and focusing on your task is the key. Everyone learns it eventually, and I don't mean years down the road.
Really like your style and content. Reminds me of my test a long time ago... My whole butt was hanging in the air with my thigh on the seat, heard the instructor laugh as I zoomed out of the box - good feeling.
Just remember if you are in Europe and want to use the diagram that one US parking spot equals about 9,5 spots in Europe...
Pretty funny!
in Europe we have to prove we can do U-turns and slow movement as part of a Mod 1. cant do it cant pass to the Mod 2 road test.
I was told by my MSC instructor that in Europe the bike u test with is the class of bike u can legally ride on the street. No Gixers for noobs.
@@mikeporro3311 Different EU countries have different laws. In the UK they`re exceptionally complicated (I`m glad I passed my test 30 years ago), but essentially you can ride any bike which is restricted to 46hp once you`ve taken a theory test and a basic practical test. After two years you have to take the main practical test and can then ride bikes restricted to a mere 300kmh (187mph).
@@gomezthechimp1116 all depends on what licence you go for CBT is limited to 125cc and a max of 11kw. You also must have L plates, you may not use the motorway or carry a pillion until you get an A1 licence. Very complex but ensures riders are capable for machines of different levels of power
I’m a new rider and right turns are much easier for me. Also, at take offs, it’s way easier to balance when my left foot come off the ground last. I have non idea why hahah. My bike fell (I stopped it being a Honda rebel) at a lot when practicing this and then I figured to use counter balance and it worked. Thanks for all the tips!
Great video thanks for sharing Dan, by the way you must have not been far from my house. I know that mountain in the back ground.
Great video Dan, that was explained so simply
Hi from the UK.
This is great technique thanks. The real snag for me
Is that I am only 4' 11" with 25" inside leg. Right hand circles are intimidating as the more that I counterbalance by leaning to the left, and managing the rear brake with bum cheek over a bit, my right leg is really stretching to reach the brake. If it goes a little bad, my chances of getting my right foot near the ground are slim to none.
It's not a great feeling, without the option of a dab.
Left circles or u turns work great for me with your method, so I am working with that. Half pint snags,
and old dog new tricks....
I'm 66! Cheers Dan
I'm a small dude with a heavier bike vfr 800. I didn't learn the but cheek thing till a little later and it helps alot
in norway out of many tests before the main driving we do this where we turn in a box and have to turn the handlebars all the way.
Hey man I am a subscriber for a quite a while now. Nice and helpful videos you are uploading man and I think you are saving lives there. 😊
Can you tell me what kind of mount you using for the go pro on the helmet and where you mount it's sound adapter? Thanks 😎
"Commit!" Damn, bro, you sound like an ex of mine.
Im about to rejoin the motorcycle community. Im glad I came across your videos. Subbed.
I was looking for a video like this, man. Turning is difficult for me
You rock man. love it ! enjoy to learn all from you. huge thanks for everything. Negev.
Iv been practicing but u make it look so easy
Well you work hard man. Glade to join you.
Thanks for the tips, i really need to get that counter-balance down.
I wish I had a nice parking lot to practice. In WA State you have to know how to do this to legally ride on the street, so my practice has been on my private gravel road and I've dropped the bike too many times in that gravel trying to U-turn.
the best tip i have ever seen so far!! I feel more confident now, even though i dont have a bike lol
Arizona weather?...I’m cooking down in Baja...I go into panic mode trying to get my gear off fast enough....but it feels good to go out and practice and get a little closer to perfect turns EVerytime
I recently bought a 1978 Honda GL1000 Goldwing. It was in really bad condition but after I got her put together and cleaned up, I headed over to the elementary school parking lot to practice my tight turns. I do this same exercise every weekend, and a GL1000 is a 603 lb bike, plus I have a fairing on the front. Point is: heavy, likes lots of room. But I do this exercise well within the three parking space model, and am shooting for two parking spaces. Its the lock and the lean and balls enough to hold the line tight.
Holding that tight radius is challenging, but quite fun. It teaches me how to handle the bike a lot better in slow conditions, and gives me tons of confidence at stops and intersections. The coolest part of these figure eights is arm position and that I actually lean into the turn with my upper body, slightly pressing forward on the handlebars, and fowrard/down on that inside handgrip. That seems to make the turns noticeably more crisp.
Nice vid! First I’ve seen from you, I subscribed to see more. Getting a bike soon so looking out for tips!
Biggest tip I have is to take an MSF course if you haven’t already. It goes through these types of exercises as well as counts as a defensive driving course in the states so sweet insurance discount.
I wish i would have seen this very good informative video 2 weeks ago before i fell flat on my face with my heavyweight BMW K1200 LT with passenger (total around 500 kg or .1 108 pounds)...while taking a very slow turnaround the engine stalled and well as everybody know its a heavy heavy beast and once it falls u let it fall ,beside some light cosmetic damage who was not too bad we were not hurt but many people warned me that this would happen and it did ..lesson learned the hard way .I love your videos ..greetings from Belgium :-)
What about dragging the rear brake a little with throttle control to keep you stabilized?
Thats how learned to do tight turns at low speeds. But i was riding a cruiser style bike(85 magna 700f) then but not have a street rod 750. The bike is fun . And i still apply it . But you always show me something new for me too apply every time I ride. Thanks
Took my cbt (UK course similar to msf for US) my instructor told me I did everything perfect except the U turn and figure of 8, because I struggled to find either the right amount of throttle or the right amount of rear break. Still passed however. Just need more training before continuing for the full licence
I love your mountains! I live in Illinois and all we have are corn and bean fields.
Motocross counter balance berm turn technique 👌thank you mate.
What a cool view in the background, with those mountains.
Arizona ! I'm pretty sure. Tucson maybe?
awdome video thanks =), where did you buy the helmet and what brand is it thanks!
I'm in love with my 19' CB1000R red but damn I'm in love with your FTR too, beautiful machine
I have my MST booked for next week on the 22nd. These videos are so helpful its crazy! I'm going to a parking lot today to really test my skills. I'm riding a Triumph 2022 Bobber, any tips specifically for bobber style bikes?
My moto guzzi mgx 21 is so top heavy with a 21" front wheel and the spring loaded steering dampener always makes my uturns look like I dont know what I'm doing lol. My uturns tend to be WIDE.
