Dylan Code coaches me on proper cornering of the motorcycle

Doc Wong, a local chiropractor and motorcycle enthusiast, sponsors regular clinics and training rides for Bay Area motorcyclists. World renowned expert on motorcycle racing, Keith Code, was featured at Doc Wong's special clinic on cornering techniques, in which every attendee was given customized coaching on how to improve their technique.

Here, Dylan Code, Keith's son, instructs Jeff on proper cornering paying special attention to push the handlebars forward, not down, and leaning one's nose toward the inside grip as the bike moves, not in advance of it. Great tips... Thanks, Dylan!

The instructors job is made harder because the student, rather than submitting himself to the drill, the process, the sylabus, he instead looks to intellectualise the process. Asks to many q's that are out of sync with what's happening. eg 5.43 the instructor tries to turn it back on him, " right now, do we need to worry about any of that?" He later renforces, "Once we get these core skills...." That q about lean angle was prob more level 2.

@OzClawhammer he said don't press down, forward is right

Thanks for all the comments, both good and bad. This exercise was way early in my riding of a sports bike but after many years of cruisers so I come by all the bad habits honestly. ;-) Dylan was great and taught me a lot. And what really taught me how to ride my new BMW S1000RR were the coaches at Keigwin's for their two day novice school. Best investment of $590 ever in my whole life. Code's exercise helped my riding, and Keigwin's totally transformed it. I'm always learning and striving.

That was awesome, you could see the improvement with each run...and I'm sort of getting it more now..particularly that bit about pressing DOWN on the bars, not lightly pressing them forward...great vid..gotta practise more!

@eamonhoffman Wow that is a pretty serious indictment of one of the best coaches in the world. I'm not sure how 'worthless' it was you should watch the whole video. That is Dylan Code. He trains hundreds of riders each year and to get a few minutes of his time is pretty fantastic.
