i really love the 3 videos you explain things so well...but what is the apex ?

[zone07]

Apex = the center of the turn; it is also the tightest point of the corner.

[Zlaja16]

can someone explain "press" ...is it a press toward the front of the bike pr pressing from top down....i cannot understand this(even though i am able to turn the bike)

[zone07]

check out my video on counter-steering; that should answer your question.

wen u slow down for a turn to u apply the rear brake or the front brake??

[zone07]

you should apply both brakes and let go of them before you enter the turn.

@katzruler Right! I just took motorcycle classes and the instructor told us to act like we're invisible, because we are!

Very good video...

[katzruler]

don't cross the double yellows like at 0:32 ...can get you a head on...that will mess you day..ride like you want to stay alive...watch carefully how you ride and watch for others driving  around you...they cann't see you as well as you can see them...don't assume that they do..watch them closely. you can tell if they do but give your self some time to react incase they didn't... enjoy rideing but be watchfull and be safe..

I learned by riding in the mall parking lot before it opened. I'd ride along the building.

Great videos. Explained it better than any instructor could. Where are you riding?

[Tj1056]

what happens when you have someone that hits the brakes in the middle of a turn?

[Apexclipper]

Why are you putting your turn signal on for turns that are not at an intersection? Why are you running wide at all of your turn exits? Why are you aiming for the "apex" (double yellow in this case) on a street ride with oncoming traffic that may be hugging the same yellow line from the opposite direction? Why are you giving riding instructions?
