    Hey Greg. All of these tips helped me overcome the anxiety of downhill corning to the right. Especially blind corners, which had me slowing way too much. Delay turn in, look as far ahead as possible and let the corner come to me…now it’s a blast, thanks!! 👍👍

    As a new on road rider (I've rode dirt bikes, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers off road nearly my whole life) I have learned SO MUCH from this channel as well as Dandanthefireman and even FortNine. So when I'm riding or going around a curve, I will look out as far as I can see to check there is nothing out there I need to worry about and to look for my line, but mostly I'm looking at least 3 car lengths or so in front of me while every once in a while checking closer in front of me just to double check there's nothing in the road I might have missed. I'm doing this at the same time that my eyes are scanning from side to side checking for any side roads or driveways where cars may be coming out of and looking for that dangerous silhouette of the side of a vehicle that would make me have to pay closer attention to it in case I need to slow down/stop, swerve or change my path of travel. I also check left, right then left again when going through an intersection and I treat blind hills as if they were intersections as well since they block your line of sight and so I'll slow down some and cover my breaks, maybe even take up the slack on the break lever until I am able to see over the hill and can see that it's clear. It's definitely a LOT of mental and visual gymnastics, but it IS getting easier to do as I am building up good habits and muscle memory. I'm always trying to pay attention to what's going on around me and NOT just straight in front of my forks.

    Hello Greg, greetings from Athens, Greece. I ride for a little more than one year with a 300cc bike. You 've learned me almost anything I know about motorcycle riding. You 've opened a whole new world. I' ve read total control, participated in riding schools, try to practice as often as I can with motojitsu exercises and I see that my riding level and knowledge is actually better than people that ride for years. Most important, I know what i should be aware of and how many (MANY) things I need to improve and learn. Thanks for everything!

    I took my MSF this weekend and locked up the front tire on a straight into a 180⁰ curve, made a beautiful recovery at 25mph. Made the curve and was less aggressive on braking and then trusted the bikes capabilities the rest of the day. Passed all testing later in the day. Funny thing about this whole class was the fact that I was the slowest to get steady on straights for day 1 but ended up being class leader for all exercises by the end of the day and all of day 2. Money well spent for never having ridden a powered bike, I'm definitely going to go back after I feel confident to take the next level of training classes.

I had a course last weekend wich had mid corner stops, 90 mph emergency stops and just straight on track riding. I had an amazing basic level due to your video's and training i did because of it! During this course I finally practiced using the front brake more and got really comfortable trailbraking. Thanks!

    Hi Fast Eddie,I took delivery on my 2020 Fat Boy 114 yesterday, today was my maiden voyage. Back in January I became a Pre-Loader with the cop, Robert Simmons, “Trust & Believe.” Then in June I found you with a full head of hair, now I am snooping around your Master Classes. I got through chapter four in “Total Control 2nd Edition,” more videos on turning and being the Boss of my Friction Zone and Front Break. Then I got your app for my Note 9 and my iPad Pro. Phenomenal app! I put on my SS Helmet, (SS stands for Sub Surface Warfare), gloves, Sedici jacket, and touring pants. I looked straight, bars straight, found the friction zone, covered my foot break and lifted my left foot as I rolled down my driveway over the trench to a right turn. My neighbor, a rider, saw me do 5 donuts to the left then 5 to the right and leaning into the four turns on our circle/court, then I took off down the road. She said, “Your ready for Bike Week! Are you sure this is your first time?” Down shifted and duck walked my first U-ie, 😂 On the fifth U-ie I wasn’t able to stay on the road even in lock, but I locked the fork through the turn on the grass. A garbage truck was approaching, I forced myself not to look as they cheered me on. On my fourth jaunt off my court, down the road I kept my feet on the boards, road the grass and jetted back to my house…all on my FIRST BIKE! I’m scheduled for the Harley Academy in two weeks. Now I’m going to earn my White Belt. Thank you for all you do and the top shelf instruction you give. ET1(SS/SW/MTS) USN, Ret.

    Interesting what was "instinct" during my 20s, after a life since 5th grade of dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, and 4 wheelers, and riding on the road was natural..Fast forward 15 years of not riding, and I way slow down on corners and forgot my "instinct".

    I went from a 1974 Ducati 750-GT to a 2002 BMW R-1150-RS.They ride much differently. The Ducati could corner by simply leaning as I entered and then adjust my line by steering. The BMW wanted to hold it's line more, and needed more counter-steering to get into and out of the corner.

    I was on a training course on a track and maintenance throttle was not really explained. They did mention rolling off throttle for lean but not maintenance.
    I was on third session so I was getting cocky. went into a corner too fast for my comfort level so I just rolled off throttle leant over more, I stayed off the throttle because I didnt understand maintenance throttle. low sided my brand new r6 :-)
    P.S I have only recently found your videos, the way you explain everything is brilliant. I'm a better and more importantly a safer rider.

    I actiually learned something form a physics paper about countersteering the other day, and that is you are ALWAYS counter steering, even when you do not have your hands on the steering wheel at all, even then through motions of your body, you countersteer, if you wanna turn right, the motion of your body first turns the steering wheel to the left a little and then to the right, you are always countersteering even if you do not touch the steering wheel at all, because that is the only way to initiate a lean.

  • @SoundmanCH
    @SoundmanCH 2 роки тому

    I think confidence with the brakes is key. I ride a lot in the Swiss alps, really high up, with huge drops that sometimes are quite scary. I add an extra safety margin in terms of speed there. Riding these types of roads helped me overcome anxiety, building up trust in my bike‘s brakes. But honestly, I still have both, good and bad days. On bad days good cornering just does not work out for me, so I just go slow and easy. There is never enough practice, as you rightfully keep teaching.

    Those are honestly excellent tips, but im gonna be honest with my idiocy here and say that one tip that just changed the world for me was that the bike will stay leaned over after the countersteering input. That just for some reason made me a whole lot confident and let me narrow down what i have to do after tipping in, now i can actually focus on cornering and throttle control

  • @JamesLamb
    @JamesLamb 2 роки тому

    Because I haven't taken advanced classes, the concept of "maintenance throttle" in a corner is new to me. It makes sense, but it's one of those split-second judgement or finesse issues that you know when it's right, it feels so fine and smooth, but because of road variability, unless you're frequently on the same road, it may be difficult to get exactly right every curve on an unfamiliar road.

    I slow down before cornering too much because I don't feel comfortable leaning too far. I became a better rider since November when I almost ran wide into a car moving in the opposite direction. This is when it started and I am still a little too conservative in entry speed. And I'm talking about city riding.

  • @stephanddd

    Great tips. I would suggest one more possible reason for overslowing: going in to the corner at a gear lower than you should/could. You might be able stay in 4 gear, trail brake a bit, and accelerate out of a corner smoothly. If you go into the corner in 3rd gear instead, now you're having to deal with unnecessary engine braking, and having to get into maintenance throttle earlier, and revving up your engine into high rpms to exit the corner. It feels like a lot of unnecessary drama.

    Hi very good content to boost confidence, I’ve been riding for about 45 years and in the 70s you had to learn yourself as no Internet, except now you can get to much advice so can get confusing for any rider. If I was starting out again I would have definitely entered more track days mainly to safely understand the limitations of the bike and understand how important suspension settings are. I’ve had some very fast bikes in my time ( fireblade, hayabusa, milli r, ) to name a few, but at 64 I’ve come to realise it’s not all about pinning the throttle back between bends, it’s about control and consistency.To fast into a bend can slow your exit, but even I still admit to making mistakes even on roads I do every weekend. ( maybe old age )

    Hey Greg, there's one part to trail braking that I could use some clarification on and it's related to your point at 4:56, where you mention slowing to enter the corner at a comfortable speed and then applying enough throttle to maintain entry speed (which makes sense). The instructions around trail braking seem consistent (apply the most brake pressure leading up to the corner), but it's the trailing off until you see your exit/have the bike pointed in the right direction versus another point I heard (I think from the yamaha champ videos) of not applying your brake at the same time as applying your throttle. So, my question is: how do I reconcile this? Am I missing some nuance?

    Good morning. I have wondered for some time why curves are referred to as corners, which I think of as right angle turns in common ordinary conversation.

    I have an interesting MESSED-UP situation: You ride fast in the twisties positioning your body on the inside of the corner because they are faster corners. Now there comes a tight hairpin up, that's a corner you would take by pushing the bike under you (body position outside of the corner) but you were dumb enough to already position yourself on the inside. How to handle the situation?
    How to handle a very slow corner after many "fast" corners? (Change from counter steering to direct steering)

    By adding maintenance throttle early in the turn (pre apex) you reduce your contact patch and the front end could wash out. I was taught to not accelerate until you reach the apex. Am I wrong Eddie?

    THIS RIGHT HERE is good teaching vs riding, but if I were you lesson one here on white board, switch to riding to demo, back to class lesson two, switch to riding demo of lesson two and back to classroom for lesson three.
    This would be a good “dual method” approach would work well I think because the classroom tells us what to expect without the scenery distraction, and then instantly showing the equivalent ride along and back to class would be really good.
    Because you are doing the ride along approach vs muted engine with voice over. Class explains the up coming ride along. Ride along shows lesson and back to class. Muted voice overs feel like presenter talking about someone else’s ride not theirs.
    This would be a good series for teaching because your comes are tiny to see in the camera and your parking lots don’t have lines on the ground. So in the classroom draw route through the exercise then switch to parking lot.
    I think this method would reach more riders who learn one method over the other.
    An old Chinese saying I remember goes like this.
    Tell me I forget, show me and I remember, but involve me I understand. This dual method gets them to the remembering point and practice will help them understand.
    Look forward to seeing this method in action as I think you would reach more people doing that. Try it out.

    Gold. One question though. How does that work with a bike with short gearing?
    I want to ride like that but I don’t want to lug the bike?

    How exaclty do you find the limit? If i add a few more mph each time i go through the same corner at some point im gonna hit the limit. If i get nervous going through the turn im probably gettting close to MY limit not the bike's. How do you know when your approaching the bikes limit without crossing it and crashing?

    I think for me it’s related to countersteering. I definitely countersteer like I know I’m doing it but I might be overly cautions and concerned with how much lean angle I’m causing. I think subconsciously I’ve got some of that going on
    Not looking far enough ahead us part of it for me too, I definitely get sucked into the moment for certain turns and become acutely aware of everything.
    Just a matter of practicing too. I think I might take one of the few corners in my area over and over again one afternoon. Just to get the seat Time in.

    Been wondering which was best practice, engine breaking into a turn or use breaks? I’m glad you cleared that up. I usually use breaks but was second guessing myself seeing so many people using engine breaking. My opinion was the more you use the breaks the better to build the muscle memory and in emergency situations it’s one less factor to think about because breaking becomes autonomic. Thanks again
