Getting over debris, throttle on then off to lighten the front then rear as you clear the object if you can't go around it. Tip number two, check your pants. An appropriate tip for the number two. Leaf man at 6:00 brought back a memory. (I wonder if he didn't use the front brake in that fall) After Halloween beware of smashed pumpkins in the road. After they've been run over a few times they assume the color of pavement. I snagged one with a not so well timed light application of the rear brake. I was slowing to turn right onto my street. Fortunately I hadn't initiated a lean or the turn and just carried on straight after a little butt puckering. Didn't know what it was until I turned around and came back. Worse than wet leaves in the road. You have been warned. At 13:40 did I see DanDan give a little side eye as the rider's butt crack entered the field of view?🤣🤣🤣

Don't even have to come off the throttle to lighten the rear. A little bit of power will allow the rear wheel to climb over it. The bike should come down more evenly front and back like jumping off a step rather than rocking forward into a stoppie.

What i do on my dirt bike to jump obstacles and even launch myself on speedbumps and the like is to push the bike down with both my hands and my feet just before and the suspension will bounce back and it will be almost weightless when rolling over the obstacle, or gets pushed even harder up by the speedbump to launch and do a high jump. used to do that with a bycicle and after some practice ended up also doing it with the motornike.

Start slow man and gradually work your way up to different ride conditions. Take the MSF course, start riding local neighborhood streets with little traffic at slow speeds (less than 25 mphs). Practice shifting grips, braking, using the clutch, slow speed maneuvers, etc. until you are completely comfortable. Once you are no longer focusing on operating the clutch, brakes, throttle, you might be ready for road riding

13:44 Classic! But that aside. Rider needs to lear body position so the bike doesn't need to lean as much for a given speed/turn radius.

3:50 check it in slo-mo; notice the rear tail light comes on. No road surface hazard; rider panicked, grabbed a fistful of brake, and broke traction.

100%, saw immediately that it was just rider error. These guys need to take lessons at the track first.

On the first video yes, he did indeed lock up the rear tire but the snap correction that almost caused a tank-slapper is because he released the brake while the rear tire was at an angle in comparison to his direction of travel. If he had waited until the rear was straight again it would not have tried to snap correct.

2:03 If you play it at .25 speed, you will see that his front tire may have dropped into a crack, right as he braked, causing his bars to jerk. This probably messed with his line as he was braking. The rest is just him target locking on the ditch. Remember: The machine tends to head in the direction you are looking, so look at where you want the bike to be.

@snorman1911

Жыл бұрын

He never touches the front brake though so he's rear brake only. So we already know he has no clue.

The camera shake is clearly him locking up the rear wheel and the back started to go out on him. When he released the brakes, the wheel gained traction again and the bike jerked back straight and had a tiny wobble. I did lock up the rear once in an actual emergency stop, with a car in front of me. If I have done the same as in the video, I would have smashed in the car. What I did is stand up and shifter ALL my weight on the handlebars, I don't remember if I kept braking with the front or not, this all happened instinctively... I just know I used the sideways drift to steer myself to the left, while drifting, and I slowly released the rear brakes to ease the traction back in as to not jerk the bike, and I passed between the car in front of me and the car to it's left, and came to a stop between the two cars in front of them... This was by far the closest call I ever had... My life flashed before my eyes. I must have gotten distracted and didn't realized the traffic was stopping in front of me...

if you go over something on the road and you cant avoid it try and hit it or go over it head on/ straight so your front wheel doesn't go over it sideways causing you to hit the deck and damage your bike.

3:42 Trail break till the obstical then let go, try to be as vertical as possible.....Stand on the pegs momentarily.... Totaly agree

Hey, man. This was a really nice video! Braking down a bunch of scenarios that are similar but a little different from each is a great way to explore variable situations.

@ 2:23 this is the most common error any rider will make. Not understanding proper cornering technique. Outside, inside, back outside is the way to corner. Meaning he should have loaded the bike farther inside of the lane. Leaning into the apex and powering the bike out of the corner. Play any racing video game and turn on the proper racing line, it'll show you what im talking about. It works for all vehicles not just motorcycles. For a space bubble just imagine there's a 15 foot 360 degree invisible wall around you and anytime another vehicle enters that wall you need to react to it. If someone's riding on your ass, increase your speed until they're not, if you're following a vehicle and it's too close, decrease your speed and increase your bubble. Never ride in anyone's blindspot either increase your speed or decrease your speed so they can see you.

I agree with Dan on the space cushion, I do it myself. I have noticed that cars DO NOT respect your space cushion AT ALL.

13:42 your look to the cam says it all...........LMFAO

3:50 - There wasn't something on the ground. You can see his brake lights turn on before sliding. He tapped that rear brake and lost traction on the rear wheel. Don't break while you're leaning if you don't know what you're doing. either locked his rear brake or shifted too much weight on the suspension and lost traction

the section of road on "life on kentish roads" is right by me, absolute horrible bit of road where two lane narrow so much. .... new sub to the show! hi!

on the first debris in the rode. If you count seconds at the truck, or car pass various "land marks" there is MAYBE 3 seconds max between when the truck passes something and the motorcycle passes. So maybe following too close.

It is interesting which prejudices can actually help anyone on the road. I saw that BMW and knew he was compelled to do some BMW driver stuff.

The big mistake that new riders make (and I count myself as one, too) is that they assume that they „can ride“ as soon as they are done with motor school and have their license in hand. No. In motor school you learn the bare basics that help you move the bike and how to not kill yourself doing it. All the real practice that makes you a rider comes after that. For my small motorcycle license I had exactly one driving lesson of an hour. I had driven around parking lots before on a CBR and a Bandit though and I had driven scooters. After that hour the instructor sent me on my way and said „I don’t know what else to teach you. You know all the basics. What you need is practice. You just need to get on the road.“

I see so many new riders hit the corner too fast, and their brains tell them they can't brake while leaning, so they straighten right up and go off the road as they hit their brakes. I don't think it's target fixation as much as not trusting their tires to hold traction (lack of experience using brakes while cornering).

2:05. Dude looks like he is fighting with his front ABS.

You give a lot of great info but I feel like the biggest thing I learn from you watching Moto Stars vids ends up being "don't be a goddamn shithead on a bike". You don't need to challenge cars, you don't need to fight for position, you don't need to shout at drivers or lay on your horn when you can easily tickle the brakes and avoid a situation, just be mindful that you're on a small, hard to see, vulnerable vehicle and behave accordingly.

So many problems could be avoided if people just bought bikes with ABS, basically just allows you to grab as much front/rear break as much and as fast as you want without any consequences, literally 0 disadvantage to it, if i manage to get over 1G of breaking until the rear wheel came up so can you, i really would wish for if more people started to tell people to get ABS bikes instead of teaching proper breaking technique, its the safer option
