    Man I just finished practicing my u-turns and tight low speed turns for an hour and the bike will NOT fall over no matter how much I lean it and counter weight. That was awesome! I did put my foot down a couple of times when started to full lock the bars but eventually got the feel for not putting my foot down!!!!

    Cool tip, but watch out beginners: if you don't rev it up enough, or leave the clutch too fast, the engine is going to die on you and you fall 100%. Need to build up some good clutch-gas control first before doing this!

    Thank you for this clearly segmented how-to video. I have not been successful with sharp turns or u turns but this video changed that. The clearly illustrated and explained counter weighting was what did it for me. Yesterday I did a sharp turn using this explanation of the sequence of events. 15 minutes later I did my first ever u turn. I am a returning rider with a long, heavy cruiser. In hindsight, I should have returned to riding with a much smaller bike but it is what it is. I have looked at a lot of videos explaining low speed control of big, heavy machines but I absolutely nailed it because of you. Thanks.

      I did this a few times on the real world situation spontaneously when I instantly remembered the lesson. But when I go to practice I fail sometimes. Strange. Fear of dropping the bike I guess. It is just not consistent. I need more practice. Also while leaning we can move our butt slightly to the right as we turn to the left I assume.

      @fatmanpedaling 4 роки тому +2

      @@amotorcyclerider3230 just start at a more gentle version of the drill that you're confident doing until you have built up more confidence and then get gradually more aggressive. You have to master the friction zone with the clutch and the throttle. Keep just playing with that. Always look where you want to go. Always. Target fixation. If you haven't heard of it go look it up.
      You're gonna be fine.

      Daniel Cooper i’m the same gear as moto in the same order lol. Its really difficult to get clothes to fit me as i’m a tiny female so i go with whatever fits best. adventure trousers but can’t get matching jacket as they’re bloody massive on me, but leather jackets fit, sports bike helmet at the mo in XS so mix n match for me too 😊

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have learned so much from your contributions on YT. It's amazing how much you don't learn during basic motorbike training, even on a comprehensive courses like those in Singapore. They teach you to keep your wheel straight and would mark you down for using full lock.
    They don't teach counter steering on any basic course I'm aware of either. That was such a revelation to me when I learned about it and improved my cornering so much you wonder why they don't teach it. Keep up the good work.

      YES!! Bike doesn't matter. I did the same things when I had a Hayabusa! SO if I can do all I do now on that huge powerful full sports bike, any other bike can do it once you get the skill and practice time in.

    Hi Ed. Could you read the following message from me to all your subscribers when you go live later.
    Cheers mate.
    Here's a guy who has putting in many hours of his week supporting all his subscribers with faultless instruction and advice. He deserves our patronage.
    At the moment five in one thousand and fifty are patrons. I think we can do better than that. Make your thanks be more than a text.
    And besides all that you may win a free t-shirt And I'm hoping to get one for asking him to read this live.

      Thanks for reading the message Ed. I noticed you got nearly 30 new patrons 🙂 who are showing there appreciation for the the great work your doing. I hope that repeats a hundred fold. If you haven't got plans to become a full time instructor, you really need to be thinking about it. You would be a major asset to any riding school. Or go solo, that would work.

I like the videos and appreciate technical details as well as distance of cones or marks so I can practice in the parking lot.

I wish I had known about you before I brought my bike and I might have saved myself a compressed fracture of the spine, but at least now I have plenty of time to kill before I can even throw my leg over my beauty again. A two day course to gain your Learners permit is nowhere near enough time to learn what's needed to be learnt to keep safe and upright when playing in real traffic. THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU.

    @johnflynn6121 5 років тому +1

    Great technique, well taught!
    FWIW, I took a rider course offered by the Virginia State Police, taught by two of their motorcycle cops. They taught the same technique, almost exactly the same way, with two nuances:
    1) They did not teach your idea of pushing down on the footpeg on the opposite side of the lean/turn. I think that is a great addition and I thank you for it. It also looks like you shift your weight a little on the saddle, toward the opposite direction of the turn. Did I interpret that right?
    2) They did teach that the foot on the ground on the side you are turning should have the toe turned outward, in the direction of the turn. The idea is that if the force of the lean is toward that foot, it puts that force down the center of the foot, rather than against side of the ankle/foot. That has a biomechanical advantage. I like that. What do you think?

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  5 років тому

      Yup, there are many ways to do the same thing....this is how I found it easiest to do, on any bike. You can have a sport bike or Harley and do the same thing. Yes, I counterbalanced, which is pressing down on the opposite footage and shifting my body to the opposite side as well. #2 I think is irrelevant.

    Hi Fast Eddie, Just passed my MSF course.. Before going into it, I was filled with anxiety and excitement and I was not sure how I would fare.. didn't really have any expectations but just wanted to learn and have fun, after having passed it, I have to say it feels amazing! I just wanted to thank you because I watched a bunch of your videos and re-watched them during the course to reinforce all the principles and it all clicked.. Thanks for the work you do, it really is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to get on a Bike and ride! The biggest thing for me was looking where you want to go, it's the key to turning , especially slow speed maneuvers, and being confident is key and knowing the Bike will do what you ask it to do... I realize practice is the key to success.. the more times we went through exercises the better and more comfortable I got... Everything you "preach and teach" is spot on! ( that could be the tag line for your next line of T's) All I want to do is keep learning and practicing! So much Fun!
