Sad Attempt at Leaning Off

[A5runner]

Way better than me, thank you for the video!

[flimluvr]

Does this lens make my ass look fat?

[breethwithme]

takes time to get it right. nobody learns it the first try. keep on doing it it will come to you then it will be like riding a bike you never forget it.

[dodgerider26]

That really sounded like the longest sustained fart in the history of Kansas!

[jactivate]

This dumb balding ginger isn't leaning off far enough, he's a total pansy!"

Naa kidding, good job!

[Fudmottin]

Just to reiterate what you probably already know, DON'T KEEP YOUR HEAD OVER THE WINDSCREEN! :-)

The whole point of shifting your weight like that is to keep the bike upright, right? So stick that massive head out! Get it over the inside mirror or even further out! You're twisted because you're not doing that.

Props on recording what your problem is though. This place can be rough on people making simple mistakes. I see 95% (or more) riders do the same darn thing! They think they're cool.

[twolves2413]

haha nice ass :D

[sneakyfellow]

why the hell did you make a video just zoomed in on your ass

[LiterR1]

Not too bad ,we all have to start some where ,read before that you crashed so that will be in you mind for a while .

you almost got it right try "titties to the tank"or "Tummy to Tank" it works i looked at my ridding videos and i sucked till I got advise.

[bloodhay]

Keep on keepin on man, you will get it! (if not im sure LJ would teach you then kick your ass :O)

[Iroquois14]

@bloodhay I've done it before, you assbandit. This was after I crashed going 50 mph. Losing traction and lowsiding at 50mph really fucks with your brain. I still can't help but feel like I'm going to wash out whenever I try this.

[MrBigmike829]

@Iroquois14 sorry.. but wats an "assbandit"?

[SDkawi6]

@Iroquois14 best way to practice is when you're not moving.. considering this video was uploaded 11 months ago. I'm sure you have the concept down packed now.. lol :)

[roninsoul]

there was a part there i tough you almost got it in the roundabout, btw its sunny you should use the skeleton door

[rollafatonedude]

looks good . be aware when u shift ur body to shift ur head over too stay low and get head right out too . i see a lot of people getting there body over but they keep there head in . takes a while to it becomes second nature

[jhardy66617]

so in an effort to actually help you, get your upperbody lower

to quote a sportbiketracktime instructor "titties to the tank" keeping your forearms parallel to the ground also aids in quicker turning which results in a faster entry being possible =]

[Iroquois14]

@jhardy66617 Ahh, yes. Good advice. However, the GS has a very upright seating position, and it's makes it very akward to lean off and get low.

[jhardy66617]

@Iroquois14 yes i know, i ride an F3 which may be a bit more forward but its still more upright then an R1 ya know?

slide your ass backwards and try it

if you can adjust your pegs and levers maybe try that as well

but hey if its not broke dont fix it

[sunnyjason]

@Iroquois14 well you gotta get low even with handle bars in your face.

[heartlesspinto]

@Iroquois14 Yeah, the gs is a bit too upright, but you're still leading with your butt too much sometimes. You need to lead more with your upper body and head. Armpit should be over the gas cap, outside arm straight, inside arm bent. Don't worry too much about getting your butt off the seat at first. That'll only cause you to want to stick it out too far.

[Tugar747]

I admit, that sound was . . . surprising. It sound almost like Rebelyells KLR :) . That is one thing i dislike on GoPro Hero, its mic. And it will be reason why i wont ever buy it. I rather wait to VIO POV HD. :)

[roninsoul]

@Tugar747 he had that sound cause he was using the water proof door , the skeleton door that comes with the go pro has much better sound

[Tugar747]

@roninsoul I know, but still. I had POV 1.5 borrowed and it sound just great. And with new POV HD on way. It is bullet cam, with rugged coder and it is supposed to have external mic too. So easy choice tor me.

[roninsoul]

@Tugar747 this camera has a external wireless mic , problem is only the tester and sponsor have it for now , as well as the new software update

if you watch some of my videos you will see the audio is pretty good in skeleton door , and a plus of the go pro you can use it underwater from the start what about the POVHD?

[Tugar747]

@roninsoul probably not for diving, but i dont intend to use it that way. :)

Im mediterranean you see :) And i simply prefer bullet cams.

[roninsoul]

@Tugar747 i live in Portugal, but its always nice to have the ability for underwater use, or heavy rain .

to me bullet cams with the same quality are only better in the looking better theme, go pro looks a little rough not very pretty but it gets the job done and its cheaper

[Iroquois14]

@roninsoul Yea Ronin is right, I didn't have the correct backdoor on. Maybe you can slip it in my backdoor?

[roninsoul]

@Iroquois14 ohohohohohooh you naughty boy , dont provoke me

just be carefull slipping it in, you dont wanna break anything lol

[bfmv580]

I prefer videos like this without music, of course the highly edited stuff like nickgnaime style videos, the music makes them. But good call on leaving it with just the bikes soundtrack :-)

[Iroquois14]

@bfmv580 Yep, that's something you learn after posting videos for a couple years.

[Damage2k9]

This dumb balding ginger isn't leaning off far enough, he's a total pansy...although I don't see why you're leaning; don't lean off the bike if you don't need to, you dumb assbasket....however Iroquois has a nice ass! so overall I quite liked this video. ^.^

[Iroquois14]

@Damage2k9 You turd in the punch bowl!!

[cashstore1]

The engine sounded good. One last ride before you join the Army?

[Iroquois14]

@cashstore1 My last ride will be next April.

[danfzzl]

Sounds like your riding a lawn mower lol

[Iroquois14]

@danfzzl I swapped out the crappy GS engine for my riding lawn more engine. I like it much more.

[jdog1129]

No gingers were harmed in the production of this film.

[Iroquois14]

@jdog1129 Well, except for the small ginger I ran over that I edited out.

[andrewdoyle88]

Hey at least your getting rid of those chicken strips on your tires :D

[jhardy66617]

@andrewdoyle88 having no chickens strips doesnt mean your a good rider by any means, it means you used all of the tire available which could or could not be a good thing

chicken strips on the street is probably a good thing to some extent, it means your riding sensibly. but if i see your rear tire and the sides are all chopped up and u say uve never been to the track im going the other direction

[Iroquois14]

@jhardy66617 Chicken strips only apply to 180 tires and up. My GS runs a 140 back tire, it's just too slim to actually use all of it.

[NoFear176]

that exhaust killed my brain

[Iroquois14]

@NoFear176 I don't offer refunds for your time. =)

[invisiblemon]

Not bad actually. Exhaust sounds a bit stuffy. Short peeps have problems with that leaning stuff.Nice road.

[jhardy66617]

@invisiblemon im 5'7 and i lean pretty well

you can usually adjust the pegs and levers if you really want to

[h0niels]

what bike and what CC is it?

[Iroquois14]

@h0niels Suzuki GS500F. 500cc Parallel Twin.

[danmoto73]

nice work =)

[ToastToGo]

I had no idea you rode a thumper :)

[CushFilez]

Woa, I should try doing it again. I tried on a parking lot, and got scared. Maybee I should try the roundabout ;D

[Itsreload]

Yupper thats some fun times right there.

[givuhcky22]

your bike sounds... AWESOME. i need leathers. i've put my knee down in jeans but it hurts really bad.

[Wtfsongs]

I had no idea you where the blue power ranger.

[Iroquois14]

@Wtfsongs "were"

[r1gester]

Nice! Just a bit further and stick the knee out...

Bike sounds like a single engine sesna from that angle... lol.

[Iroquois14]

@r1gester Yea it's the exhaust hitting the rear turn signal! lol

[r1gester]

@Iroquois14 Classic!!! Keep the vids comin man, doin well.

[ecookman]

@r1gester Cessna you mean XD

[Nickiller6969]

thats a good attempt and awesome gear you have
