thanks for the videos. i'm a marine deployed in afghanistan right now and getting a bike once i get back to the states. your videos are extremely helpful since i've never ridden before and its giving me an idea of how to properly manuer when i get back. plus its always nice to get a view of my home state lol.
with your knowledge being your best attribute i dont know why you feel the need of putting pictures of woman in your videos :P just a thought im subscribing :)
More good stuff. A big improvement on your first turn video.You sounded much more together. I think you maybe weren't really ready when you shot that one.Don't worry about the negative comments. I pass over the double line all the time. Very good remarks about target fixation.And I didn't have any trouble understanding you.
Good point on giving gas through the turn.. It is the only way to stabilize the bike.. "once the trottle is cracked open, it is rolled on consistently and smoothly throughout the remainder of the turn" - quote from Keith Code´s book/DVD "A twist of the wrist 2" AKA the cornering bible
Highly recommended, especially for new riders and good riders alike
sorry its posted on wrong vid but in the first 1 u mentioned countersteer, i seem 2 find that my bike never countersteers, people have told me if your going fast enough and u turn very slightly right u will go left, but when i tried it the bike just went the way i turned, why wont my bike countersteer and what is the benefit of countersteering?
@illnino98 countersteering is not done to "steer" the bike, but to lean it... if you're riding a motorcycle intuitively, and you're able to do it fast, you're probably doing it without realizing it. don't think of it as turning the bike-you are pushing against the left bar to lean the bike left and to turn left, even though the handlebars are "turning" right... the benefit to leaning instead of steering is more friction btwn tire and road, thus more control of your bike.
@Jeremybaland i have a question. im new to motorcycles and i just learned about counter steering and i was wondering; does this normaly come naturaly. you know that your body will correct itself? this whole concept scares the crap out of me and i thought you being a MSF instructor you would help bring me confidence. thank you
@utubeteam6 I believe it will come naturally, all motorcycle riders are doing it, and alot don't even realize it. If you can ride a bicycle then you should have no problem. Don't let your fear ruin the fun. Feel free to send me a message anytime
Zone! Long time no watch. How are you? I was watching this vid (clearly evident from my comment) and noticed you didn't speak about speed. In my limited experience I learned that the faster you go, the more you can lean your bike (obviously there is a limit). The slower the bike is traveling, the more unstable it is. I managed to lean my scooter far enough to scrap the kick-stand. (I was exstatic!!) That's when I noticed if I go a little faster, I can lean a litle lower.
Proper entry speed: Is the speed that allows the rider to roll on the throttle ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TURN, not just the apex. Look as far ahead as possible. If your pegs "HIT" you are not cornering properly. Don't listen to this guy. Like he stated in the beginning, I am not an expert. DUH.
i almost always scrape my floorboards on my cruiser,but its a lowered big bike, i've been riding since i was nine,but its always been on dirt bikes and crusiers,so the sportbike is a whole new thing and i dont want to wind up highsided on some curve ,so these vids are a big help,thanks,now im going to go find one of your earlier vids where you fall over on your bike,those are funny lol:D
Gday mate great video. I went to a cornering school and the most important, even so far as to say revilation for me. Was picking your turning point, then turning your head. Still using your outer vision on the turning point and looking for, apex and exit. That feeling of faith in the front tyre and the corner opening up. Has to be way, way up there. Only bettered by a good woman. Keep up the great work, more power to ya.
thanks, I never thought about it. I just thought as far as making some videos that might help others have different points of views. I'm always interested in different points of views with regards to riding and welcome comments, criticisms and discussions.
@thehorsefly87 Seriously...an instructor? he almost rear ended an suv in the first video..constantly straddled or rode over double yellows during videos...all ticketable offenses ..not to mention the last place you want to be on a windy 2 lane road with oncoming traffic is on top of the double yellows as they are passing you (begging for a headond or getting clipped).....instructor? seriously dude?!

Hey quick question. If your pegs scrape the road when you turn would your bike lose grip and you lowslide or would it just scare the crap out of me?

correction: you did speak about speed, but I don't mean coming in too hot. I mean carrying speed around the bend.
