I haven't gone through to see any neg comments yet but you ride very, very well. Not to brag but I am very quick on the track, but if you were to put me in the city where you ride I might as well be on a moped with pink shorts on. Again target fixation. I would be thinking TRUCK, TRUCK, TRUCK!!!!!!!!!, while you're screaming through dodging all kinds of shit just seeing the line and still have time to turn to catch a couple of hotties and complete the thought of whatever topic your on. Nice !!
Great vid. Been waiting for this one. I could only imagine it's hard to comment and ride. Thx. I'd really like to go to a track. The closes track is Virginia International Speedway. Awesome vid
I just got my license this year and havent been able to really see what people were talkin about when they talked about target fixation. That is a great example. staring at walls = slow lap times/ crashes
Hey M13, i've been watching your videos through my friend Chris, finally decided to subscribe..... I was wondering if everyone HAS or GETS target fixation? Me & Chris ride our bicyles through steep hills travelling at speeds of over 40 mph, it doesn't seem like i ever get target fixation, and there are cars right next to us, as well as swirvy turns, it's menacing, the only emotion i feel, is a little sense of fear, and then a bunch of adrenaline and excitement.
@jtr123 Also, i realize 40 mph isn't that fast, but for everyone out there, just let me say this.... you go speeds in excess of 40 mph, down hill with twisties, on a BICYCLE next to cars, and tell me if it's fast or not.
Anyone telling Mordeth he is slow is ignorant. 1.) He is riding while talking (to a camera, IN HIS HELMET) 2.) He is on the ninja 650R (twin engine, slower than most other models with the in-line 4 engine, yet keeping up with riders ON those quicker bikes) 3.) The track is not exactly glass smooth, therefore navigating it takes greater attention to detail on turns and what-not.
Read your comments in teh info box, and you forgot another point to make, i bet those ignorants fucks have never tried to do a video blog while going round a track (especially a track youve only been round a few times) rant over lol awesome video(s) actually insipred me to get my license and go a long tour of Scotland so thanks :D
You're all doing that in first gear? :P (no experience) but racing is like beeing at high rpms all the time? So you have power to shift up and still have rpms
Damn!!! At 6:40 you really started dominating that track!! (Anyone that takes this comment seriously is obviously more of an idiot than they think i am)
I have a feeling watching this video that your habits from staying safe on the road are hurting you on the track. Although that's much better than habits from the track making you less safe on the street!
might I make a suggestion? next time you should try mounting the camera on your motorcycle so its less choppy and going all over the place. but then of course you would have to get a separate mic to go in your helmet. just sayin i got kinda dizzy watching this video O_x
The 'tunnel-vision' thing manifests itself in a variety of interesting ways in various disciplines. I've run into it in combat training, when you tunnel-vision so much on one threat that you can miss other threats from the side. You compensate by training to look side to side after engaging the current threat, breaking the tunnel-vision much in the same way as you would on a bike. I wonder if my training will help me there when I start riding. It never occurred to me that it would. Cool stuff!
It's good that you became aware of the importantness of how to use your sight taking corners. Always look where you want to go, not where you don't want to end up, the bike will follow like magic. Learned my lesson a month ago on a track, i was going too fast into a corner. It was doable, if i would have just kept leaning and waited corner to "end", but i couldn't take my eyes off the sandtrap and all the trees. I got scared, hit the brakes, bike tilted up and next i landed on my head 60mph.
Great footage M13! Thanks for sharing your track experiences on youtube with all of us. Considering how little you are on that track compared to the other guys, I would say you did an awesome job...plus no one else on the track is blogging at the same time...multi-tasking is a bitch.
Actually, I was going to be one of those dicks telling you about your riding style, but even I noticed an improvement between when the video started and the end of it.
oh M13, reading your description, why are you still offended by haters - with so many subscribers, you could break the lap record in Laguna Seca and there would still be enough people complaining about you - In fact, I think they feel encouraged to go on hatin' when they see how mad you get at them writing your description....
oh god target fixation i get that soo much when i do things the first time, like i got a sports bike yesterday, and ive been using scooters for a while, i was trying to get the gears right and i forgot to use my front brake at like 30, nearly went straight into a parked car xD but thank god it was a empty road with no drivers and i swerved it half a metre away, scary as hell but just gonna keep praticing at 20-30 till ive got the hang of it
AWWW target fixation! I remember riding for the first time, didn't stall the bike once until i decided to shift down and speed. Sadly i had a brain fart as soon as i sped and looked at the curve on the street. STUPIDEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
People criticizing other people's riding is common place on Youtube. I would guess that 98% of them have never even seen a race track much less road on one. Keeping riding your ride man.
Good on you for continuing to improve your riding skills. You are much better for it. So many people brag about all the years of experience riding. In reality they probably have 1 year of experience learning & several years following making the same mistakes over & over again because they either aren't willing or do not pursue any new learning experiences. Keep learning/growing as a motorcyclist, have fun, keep it twisted & be safe. Cheers from Canada!
In my short 2 years worth of experience. I find that I can do much better on new baby smooth asphalt concrete. The track you're on looks sketchy in some spots. But like you say no matter how much knowledge you have on proper track riding, it's a lot easier said than done. Great video mordeth and great explanations of target fixation and looking through the turn. I'd love to see more of these.
Those corners are so fucking dirty...and also should try to copy the line of the guy ahead. There is a part of that track that has 3 curves and you go in the first one really fast and you go out wide and so for the socond one you go in too sharp...you know what? Never mind...you do it right sometimes and then sometimes not. i hope you get to practice more. Racing is amazing...i miss it.
M13 you rock! Alot of people don't understand that you have to turn quite a bit slower on a motorcycle than a car. In my car I would drift constantly, and could do a left turn around 30 mph, sometimes a bit faster depending on how my tires were and if I was feeling quick. I tried that on a motorcycle at around 24MPH (I just got it), that was a big mistake. You are looking good on the track, thansk for the vid!
Gotta love how legit you are. If I had to pick a role model for ethics and moral course. I'd pick you. Not perfect, which is perfect. Honesty is amazing man.
@HexingCurse Thank you sir. My honesty is one of the few things I like about myself. And everyone needs to lick themselves. That was not a miss-spell. I actually lick myself. Down there.
@13mordeth cheers, i work in a corporate environment and i watch these vids to refresh me from the overwhelming amount of bullshit i experience everyday
@13mordeth Hey, I agree that Honday Rules, with your preference, your ninja 250 or the CBR 250? Ive been getting a lot of mixed review about which one to choose for a first bike. Any help?
@LastXx7xx I've got a couple CBR250's. I've got the 88 CBR250R, I've had the 96 CBR250RR, and I've got the new 2011 CBR250R. In my personal opinion, they're 3 totally different bikes. The 88 was a screaming demon. Fast, light, loud. The 96 was still quick, but seemed a lot heavier. It did however have double disc brakes, so the braking was much better.
The new one is very much like a cruiser. It looks like a VFR, it handles like a sportbike, but it runs like a...shadow?
its the track. that dude in front of u cornering low but hes only doin liek 10 15 mph or something. go to a bigger track. go 120 or w.e top speed on 600 is. DO IT
Mordeth, you inspire me to be a better rider :) Been watching your vids for 2 years, got my first bike last month and learned my gears with a little of your help :P. Love this video!! The track looks fun.. Im certainly hoping I can hit the track someday. Much love, Canada!
@WhatsUpWithBritt A well recommended read (or video) is Keith Code's "Twist of the wrist", cant tell you how many times I have avoided crashes from training and using the tips in that book.. if you want to improve your riding, read it :-)
@iopghjk001 Only for beginners. Expert skydivers disable the safetey function because it might cause the parachute to open while they are in the middle of a stunt or something.
So, let me get this straight... you're on a patchy track, with your road bike, while blogging... and people are bitching about you not riding like a pro racer!? Errr... ok?
@TofuRealName Those people are called preps. Striving to be the best especially by putting others down. It's actually quite common once you stop sucking at life.
@Platyzoan thats good. time to let the bawls hang out and rite as i pleeze.
i sub'd on the video of him catchin that punk hittin the dog. love the pups and respect to m13 for stoppin the abuse. watched this episode and i think i made a good decision subbin. keep em comin m13.
@AxelBurner I have never corrected an error in a comment or an email or a PM (except my own or that of someone who corrected me). That would be obnoxious. And I agree M13 makes fine videos.
@Platyzoan Thanks. And no hard feelings. If you had offended me I would've blocked you. I block about 2-5 people a day recently (often the same people who create new accounts just to come leave one more insult LOL). So it was just a minor dispute.
Seems plenty fast to me. I would venture to say the majority of people who say you're going slow have never taken a bike to a race track or ridden at all.
Not meant to be derogatory or anything like that, just observation: I noticed you have a very shallow and early entrance into corners, and this causes you to hit your apex much earlier than the physical corner's apex, causing you to run wide and slow in the exit. On a lot of those corners, I would be entering much wider and later into the turn so I can more accurately hit the real apex, and improve exit speed. Not trying to be a know-it-all, just hoping it helps =)
@DasPenguin85 This is useful advice. But one thing to keep in mind. When I used to put up karting videos....I had a near perfect line. But people kept saying the same thing about staying wider before the turn. People have this misconception that you should be all the way to the left before turning right. And at this point you might agree with them. So I ask you....what if the road was a mile wide and the turn only a 30 degree turn? Would you still move over a mile to the left to take the turn?
@13mordeth Indeed, that's the unspoken message behind it all - finding the right entry point for the specific turn. Mostly the aforementioned was for sharp, 90-180 degree turns, but in the shallow angle turns you may opt for the quickest A-to-B line you can instead. Thanks for the response man.
it seems so slow, maybe i should strap a camera to my bike and see if it looks slower when i take corners. do they have a over head view of the track?
@AxelBurner Yeah, it's really lame that a video of M13 at the track gets so many comments about a stupid issue in the description box. If the original comment got a simple acknowledgment and a correction was made, the conversation would be over. Unfortunately, M13 got all butthurt about it for no reason, and his goons decided to join him in attacking and mocking the original poster. Don't worry. I don't think you will have to put up with anymore comments about M13's writing.
@13mordeth Fair enough. I won't make anymore comments about crap in the description box. There is one comment below that I kind of regret. I will remove it.
I bet half of the assholes who hate on you have never stepped onto the track. I'd like to see them blog with a camera shoved in their face while leaning around a corner. Keep the awesome videos coming and don't listen to the haters.
@mattpkp I was getting them down in the session after this. When I stopped recording. Don't worry I'll get some 3rd person footage of me getting my knee down in the near future.
I know you've said it in previous videos but damn that track is beat to shit for a motorcycle track. And, I've heard of grammar nazis and spelling nazis, but citation nazis? Fucking seriously? @Platyzoan you're kind of being a cock... Just sayin'
@coverton341 Citation is far more important than either grammar or spelling. People with poor spelling or grammar are just careless or ignorant, but people who refuse to cite borrowed text are charlatans.
Call me whatever names you want, but I just think its sad that so many people don't give a shit about plagiarism. Didn't you guys learn anything in English class when you were in school? Hell! Plagiarism isn't just about composition class, it's relevant to every subject area.
@Platyzoan just let the man uplaod his videos and ride his bike you dong like it don't watch them ya hear and if you dont like how we puntutate or speill then bugger off (typing this way on purpose maybe you shit your pants from all this misspeiliing and grammer errors) :D
Hey dude cool video, good thinking about the cam on the wall to get your lap times and plus you can hear what your bike sounds like when on full gas,lol Hope them Dunlop Alpha 10 tyres are also smelling good on the track.
I love the fact that you actually take the time to read and reply to your viewers comments questions and concerns. I can write a question, and assume you're going to at least read it, unlike all the other dam youtubers.
Props =)
Keep doing what you're doing, I seriously look forward to your video every single day.
I want to be on a track one day with my r6 but I don't have the right gears and Im trying to clean out my carbs...plus fix my throttle lever and get new screws and bolts for my fairing. Anyways I still enjoyed your video on the track, I know you can ride better than me so good job ^^
Wow, I can't stand people that have to comment about minor things, not trying to defend mordeth 13 with everything, but really, quotations and junk like that. come on everybody, get a life.
Hey I was just thinking...what you should do for track vids is take the audio from the helmet cam and then have someone tape you going around so people can see actually how fast you are and how far you lean...then combine them so you get your commentary and better video.
MAN ! you really improved! that speed was quite impressive from 6:30 - 7:00 :) just kidding,... i wish we had a track here ,.. but i cant afford to ride on nürburgring , etc :(
@jhardy66617 Yeah, I recorded the first two sessions and didn't get my knee down (even though I was trying) and then the third session I didn't record and I was getting it down constantly.
@13mordeth i mean hell even riding in crap weather changes how well you can ride, if ur cold that a distraction, glare from the sun? thats another, no one ever thinks about this before going you suck.......
You look slow at the start but by then end you look fairly fast in most corners and considering you're talking it's fairly impressive. I need to go to a track day!!!
given the main demographic of youtube, the main demographic of armchair warriors, and the amount of videos of you on a bike, I'd say that you spend too much time defending your driving ability
id love to do that on my mini moto :) its 2 stroke ( ofcourse ) and water coooled its a best.. dont get to rise it much, worth too much to rish driving where it could get takenb by the cops
Fun to watch the only thing you need to work on is your racing line. That track makes me wish that america didn't suck so much in regards to their tracks and track policies.
Don't wanna seem like a spammer b/c I posted this link on your last vid, but I think it's even more relevant now--getting your head down in corners: goo.gl /LMPho
Mordeth I will be coming to one of your tours one day!!!! Just when I have saved up enough money!! :D As always awesome video!! Its soo hard to ride fast and talk at the same time lol don't know how you do it!
Seriously? You are not going to cite the source of the text on target fixation in the description box? Just put the link to the Wikipedia article at the end of it. It's not that hard. If you don't cite it, the assumption is you wrote it, but you didn't. I don't think you mean to be a plagiarist. All of your work I have seen has been much too original for that, but as long as that text isn't cited, you are a plagiarist.
@Arcaneallure Yeah, anyone who knows his writing style can tell, and even within the description box, there is obvious shift in style between the opening text and where the article begins. He still should make it clear where the text came from.
The smell is proly ur bike overheating ;)

@LastXx7xx I've got a couple CBR250's. I've got the 88 CBR250R, I've had the 96 CBR250RR, and I've got the new 2011 CBR250R. In my personal opinion, they're 3 totally different bikes. The 88 was a screaming demon. Fast, light, loud. The 96 was still quick, but seemed a lot heavier. It did however have double disc brakes, so the braking was much better.
The new one is very much like a cruiser. It looks like a VFR, it handles like a sportbike, but it runs like a...shadow?
They're all awesome bikes

Mordeth, you inspire me to be a better rider :) Been watching your vids for 2 years, got my first bike last month and learned my gears with a little of your help :P. Love this video!! The track looks fun.. Im certainly hoping I can hit the track someday. Much love, Canada!

@iopghjk001 Only for beginners. Expert skydivers disable the safetey function because it might cause the parachute to open while they are in the middle of a stunt or something.

@AxelBurner I have never corrected an error in a comment or an email or a PM (except my own or that of someone who corrected me). That would be obnoxious. And I agree M13 makes fine videos.

@Platyzoan Thanks. And no hard feelings. If you had offended me I would've blocked you. I block about 2-5 people a day recently (often the same people who create new accounts just to come leave one more insult LOL). So it was just a minor dispute.

Seems plenty fast to me. I would venture to say the majority of people who say you're going slow have never taken a bike to a race track or ridden at all.
DryUrEyesM8 8 months ago
Not meant to be derogatory or anything like that, just observation: I noticed you have a very shallow and early entrance into corners, and this causes you to hit your apex much earlier than the physical corner's apex, causing you to run wide and slow in the exit. On a lot of those corners, I would be entering much wider and later into the turn so I can more accurately hit the real apex, and improve exit speed. Not trying to be a know-it-all, just hoping it helps =)
DasPenguin85 8 months ago
@DasPenguin85 This is useful advice. But one thing to keep in mind. When I used to put up karting videos....I had a near perfect line. But people kept saying the same thing about staying wider before the turn. People have this misconception that you should be all the way to the left before turning right. And at this point you might agree with them. So I ask you....what if the road was a mile wide and the turn only a 30 degree turn? Would you still move over a mile to the left to take the turn?
13mordeth 8 months ago
@13mordeth Indeed, that's the unspoken message behind it all - finding the right entry point for the specific turn. Mostly the aforementioned was for sharp, 90-180 degree turns, but in the shallow angle turns you may opt for the quickest A-to-B line you can instead. Thanks for the response man.

@SupWithThatGaming the same type of trolls that complain about grammar in the description.
AxelBurner 8 months ago
@AxelBurner Yeah, it's really lame that a video of M13 at the track gets so many comments about a stupid issue in the description box. If the original comment got a simple acknowledgment and a correction was made, the conversation would be over. Unfortunately, M13 got all butthurt about it for no reason, and his goons decided to join him in attacking and mocking the original poster. Don't worry. I don't think you will have to put up with anymore comments about M13's writing.
Platyzoan 8 months ago
@Platyzoan Touche. But I wasn't really "butthurt" it was more like I rolled my eyes and thought "who gives a fuck?".

I know you've said it in previous videos but damn that track is beat to shit for a motorcycle track. And, I've heard of grammar nazis and spelling nazis, but citation nazis? Fucking seriously? @Platyzoan you're kind of being a cock... Just sayin'
coverton341 8 months ago
@coverton341 Citation is far more important than either grammar or spelling. People with poor spelling or grammar are just careless or ignorant, but people who refuse to cite borrowed text are charlatans.
Call me whatever names you want, but I just think its sad that so many people don't give a shit about plagiarism. Didn't you guys learn anything in English class when you were in school? Hell! Plagiarism isn't just about composition class, it's relevant to every subject area.

Hey I was just thinking...what you should do for track vids is take the audio from the helmet cam and then have someone tape you going around so people can see actually how fast you are and how far you lean...then combine them so you get your commentary and better video.

Seriously? You are not going to cite the source of the text on target fixation in the description box? Just put the link to the Wikipedia article at the end of it. It's not that hard. If you don't cite it, the assumption is you wrote it, but you didn't. I don't think you mean to be a plagiarist. All of your work I have seen has been much too original for that, but as long as that text isn't cited, you are a plagiarist.
