I installed an INNOVV k5 "dash cam" system on my 1200RT. It's nice because it is hardwired and comes on automatically. Never have to worry about batteries. It records front and rear.

I can't imagine someone hating you!✌️

Hey, the stickers are 😎 cool. Highly offended, but not by the title. "Just puttin' around" can be fun too!!!

@@siskothekid4620 yeah - i wonder what speed limit was here on this road. no doubt the harley guy was skilled as is fast eddy of course , but it does get tiresome when sport bike riders go like 30 mph over the speed limit and act like if you dont also do that you are a terrible rider and pathetic and your bike is a POS etc. whats wrong with like 5 mph over on a cruiser ? jokes always gotta come out lol

​@@intrudergrid9530I can

I started on a Yammy 600, the 750 race bike. Retired temporarily when I became a parent and now drive a custom Sporty. All modded and dialed in and is my favorite bike ever! Stay safe and be smart as you ride.

I've noticed that many harley owners started on a sport bike, most common one is a guhsixer.. oh wait i mean a geesixer (gSxr) ,🙄a "JIXER"

📌

What about started on a Harley 🤣

@@ArchermotorcycleandtireI was on a Harley for 20 years, Then became a racer. I don’t think there’s many of us, but we’re out there.🤘🏻

You’re not wrong. I’ve done that on my Harley. Right to the edge of its/ my limit thinking I’m something special, then sport bikes pass me like I’m standing still.

Yeah Harley even has a pretty cool stunt scene. They took over for sturgis when other guys backed out. Good on Harley to step up to the plate.

picked up a custom HD sportster 1200 as my first bike this year, I keep up with all my yamaha and kawasaki buddy's no problem so no complaints so far really nice bike

agreed, always loved Harleys, but the hell yeah brother culture if you will isn't for me as a 21 yr old, so when i found out about the fxr and dyna customization offerings i hopped on a dyna and haven't looked back.

I have a Sportster with a built s&s 1250 and it's an absolute blast to ride, I also have a 1992 FXR Super Glide that is super fun to ride also but the 80ci motor has never been opened up and it has just over 50 000 miles at this time. NO, I'm not a "Harleys are the only cool bikes guy", and I wave to everyone! I also have a 2009 GSXR 600, a 2020 kawasaki z400 a 1984 Kawasaki Spectre z550, a 1983 Honda Magna 750, a 2015 Suzuki DR650 and a 2012 Yamaha YZ125. I love everything on two wheels, but there is a big misconception that a Harleys can't handle or rip, sure they aren't set up like that from the factory for the most part (that is starting to change which is nice), but the aftermarket allows HD riders to do all kinds of cool stuff to their bikes. Sure, you can buy a fast bike that handles incredible for cheaper, but if you want a cool looking bike to travel on you can leave it stock and ride many reliable miles (another misconception, Harleys last if they aren't modified or fucked with, but even a properly modified harley can last a long time) or if you want a lowrider that can be done, a drag bike? No problem. A track bike? That can be done! Flat track or off road? That's no problem. The list of avenues to take is endless. I have a few videos of my Sportster from when I got it, to what it is now. It started life as a 1200cc with 67hp, it's now a 1250 with just over 100hp (doesn't sound like much but trust me it rips), I have done suspension, brakes, clutch and built it to handle much better than stock form. These bikes aren't for everyone but they aren't only for old farts either hahaha

I have a 2013 dyna wide glide...I love it!!! I laid it over the other night tho and hurt my leg...on a curve someone spilled oil across the road and my bike went sliding smh

Yeah, skateboards, bmx and dirt bikes were invented in the 90's. lmfao

It is not limited to Harley riders, just look at all the zip tied sport bikes out and on youtube. The difference is the sport bikers think they are skilled, even after they crash.

Hey man when we take a corner and we're doing you know 50 or 60 and it's a gradual corner or curve rather are we to lean the other way like kind of put a little bit of our butt cheek off of the seat and then lean the top half of our body to get back to Center kind of

There definitely is a new breed of Harley rider. Me and a lot of my now rider friends used to skate, BMX and be into the alternative scene (thrash, punk, metal, 90s hip hop etc). And we all have low riders or sportsters! 🤪🤘🏻

It's almost as if stereotypes are stupid and everyone is an individual... 🤔

Racist remark. Whether it be a Harley or a Honda, you meet the nicest people on two wheels!

Harley riders are usually more polite than crotch rocket riders ,they also dont usually do 90 mph on the rear wheel weaving in and out of traffic.

I ride a big Harley tour bike. Lol, surely can't take corners like he did. But I have always moved over an wave on. I don't want to ruin ones ride! ✌ all!

Don't believe everything you see on TV, boy.

lol

Where I live in CA, if a guy on a Harley is in the canyons he is typically riding faster than any sportbike. You aren't gonna pass him, you let him pass you.

Ground clearance can be fixed when you do a suspension upgrade. I ride my harleys the same way I have ridden my standards and sport bikes. First thing I do is suspension upgrades, then performance work. My dyna and softails corner like butter now. I ride them hard, and the only thing that drags is the pegs. On a bagger though its a different story.

I know, you didn’t read the top pinned comment I see

Saying an insult is just a joke doesn't make it a joke. MotoJitzu is just another KZfaqr who cuts others down to make himself feel better.

Thanks.

Two wheels good. Four wheels bad. 😅

Hey man I'm on a Vespa GTS 250, I could careless, and it has to be ridden just like a MC. Not many give me crap, in fact I get a lot of compliments.

My bike is 310cc LOL

@@motogirlS1000R My scooter is a beefy boi 😂. Kymco Ak 550. On page.

@@schrodingersmechanic7622 For a while I was on a Porsche forum, and in our bio we would list the vehicles we owned. In my other vehicles, I put "BMW but it only has 2 wheels, not four" PS, how's the cat?

:)

hahaha..if you are here in the Philippines smaller bikes/cc will race you.,..XD

@@bebeKoRider , I love riding our scooter in Cebu! The moto-culture there is just addicting. Getting out from Cebu city, climbing those twisty roads up into the clouds on the trans-cebu highways; I love it all.

My daughter has her learner's permit and I have her follow me at learner's permit speeds. If I see we are holding back traffic, and we are in a safe area, she knows my hand signal & right blinker means pull over & let them by.

@@runalongnowhoney same vibes im here in Baguio.. I got a sports bike and a scooter if i need some adrenaline i ride my sports bike for cornering then when i need some chill and peace i ride my scooter.. :)

He was going fast was before we got to this road...taking off fast at every light beforehand...and my bike being faster doesn't make me faster than him. This was an easy pace for me.

@@MotoJitsu You never know, he may be faster than you on the same bike.

He's not.

@@MotoJitsu 🤣🤣

@@MotoJitsu male ego 😁

Keep at it!

@Aaron Knight: we all have, I agree.

I say in the video dude. It's a setting on the GoPro App called stickers.

a cruiser is for cruising and not racing

I have a fully built sportster 1200, cam, intake, exhaust, big bore, and upgraded bottom end sitting in a softail frame. It chops harder than my cammed ls

same...and it would be a fun ride..

Mmmm I taste salt

You're OK on your bagger. At speed limits and suggested yellow signs excessive lean or gyration is not necessary. Now 76yrs old motorcycles have been my only transportation for 60 years. It is transportation, not a toy, and public streets and roads are not the place to play like an asshole. I have raced on tracks but don't engage with idiots on the road.

👍🏼

time will tell

Fricken Loser Harley Rider 🤣🤣🤣

Not to be rude brother, but that is no FXR. FXR's are dynas, that's a softail. It's actually a low rider s softail. But I'm with you, the FXR still stands the test of time when it comes to handling. Be safe 🤙

@@roadwarrior22 Dyna's have good handling? Do they need suspension mods?

@@vaportrail226 I'm not sure how to answer that, it's all about preference. I doubt you'd hear anyone from a sport bike background say yes. However as a harley rider who's been through alot of bikes, it depends on the model. I prefer a fxr, fxdx or dyna low rider s if I'm riding one. As for suspension mods, it's a must and first thing I do on a bike. The only bike I haven't is my fxr2.

@@roadwarrior22 not rude. thanks for setting me straight...

Racing has nothing to do with street riding

that sucks instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

I made a video specifically about this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcdyYMyJ0c-qlp8.html

If you have to push hard there is something wrong with your bike, or you might need to start doing push ups. 😁

We went over this in the msf course i went to. The instructor had us all do a left hand u turn and then a right and asked which one was harder. All 10 of us said the right. The instructor explained but i don't remember exactly. It had something to do with the throttle being on the right side as well as the front and back brakes. I no longer notice it. I think it's a mental thing when you are new to riding, but everyone in my class said the same thing. A lot of low speed maneuvering helps alot.

It's not harder, it's just that most Harley's don't have too good of brakes and suspension so you have to do have a lot better technique to do it vs. if you were riding my 1250GS for example.

What motojitsu just admitted to is that it takes more skill to ride a Harley.

I say in the video

instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

Only bike I have, 2020 BMW R1250 GS

I have hundreds of videos on cornering instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

This was a very easy pace for me.

Most people can come no where near maxing out the potential of any stock bike...but everyone has every excuse in the world about why it's the bike and not them :)

@@MotoJitsu just like any moto sport, its more the rider, less the bike. If I swapped with a MOTOGP rider, he would still smoke me on my slow ass harley while I would probably wreck the GP bike on the first turn. LOL

?

You’ll always have the fear just learn to manage it with better technique. Go ride more and get into more training. MotoJitsu.com/courses

also check Motojitsu video about this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sK1gepV3y8expKc.html , and also I recommend a "Total control" book that Motojitsu also recommends - has chapters on fear and mindset, and tons of other knowledge

👍🏼

Also I'll add, anything over either 25km or 40km. Cannot remember is instant loss of license and if declared hooning, impounded vehicle

I got one speeding ticket 8 years ago on a bike...not anything since. We all have our risk to take...if you want to ride around at the speed limit everywhere, go for it. It's my choice and I'm willing to accept the consequence of my actions.

@@MotoJitsu Yeah nah I'm not saying you shouldn't or nothing or criticising. Just didn't know if yous had the same to deal with as over as I read that yous don't have speed cameras at intersections. But as you said man it's your ride so don't so anything but enjoy it. And love your content mate

@@kissarmy7310 Yeah, it sucks in Australia. I've had speeding tickets where I was riding or driving to the conditions, perfectly safely IMO, but I was going a bit faster than the limit.

@@kissarmy7310 It's not as camera-strict as it is in Aussie-land. Depends on where you ride is what speed enforcement you may encounter and that just requires being familiar with the roads. Fines vary, possible impound of bike if excessive speed or reckless riding, license suspended, insurance goes up if not dropped. Probably same punishment it is over there but less cameras.

His cornering lines are also terrible. Don’t know why people ride such clunky bikes as Harleys. It just can’t be fun in the corners … 🤡

Double line just means don't pass.. Dotted means you can pass. Not sure if it's the same wherever you're from. But.... Alot of people cross on double lines... Seen a bunch of crash videos and a few deaths from crossing double lines. Also seen crashes and deaths from other countries when people try to pass in the middle. I guess it's just a universal thing..

👍🏼

Around the same as I was obviously.

@@MotoJitsu Said 82 MPH that can't be.

"can't be"? lol ok

@@MotoJitsu Whatever dude. relax.

You asked a silly question...I'm right behind the guy and you can see the speed in the video lol

yup instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

linktr.ee/GregWidmar

I have videos of me riding all kinds of bikes...if that's what you're meaning.

I was meaning more like a versus video. You on a Harley vs a sportbike rider on track.

I wave at everyone and I pretty much get waved back, by everyone. Even motorcops

@@MotoJitsu that's awesome! Maybe we're just stiffer up north.

You can't judge a guy by his bike(usually), that is what is affecting the riding community, the only bike you gotta love is the one you are on. I ride a Harley and I wave at everybody.

I'm a Harley rider in the south and everyone on two wheels including police motormen waves to each other except the few 1% that you may run across. We even head nod if we are unable to wave. I have noticed in different areas of the country that it is different. Some more friendlier, some not.

@@mojomanmurph1925 I always thought the waving is dumb. So we're both driving motorcycles which is great but I don't normally wave at people I don't know. Some biker etiquette seems like an entitled cult. Just ride! So dumb how people buy a bike and then get all dressed up in a biker costume to go ride and act all hard with a whip hanging from the bars and beanie helmets etc. lol... Bikes don't make you tough. I've ridden in a few groups and it is amazing how aggressive some of these old washed up dudes are when in reality, they're an old out of shape drunk that smokes and wouldn't last 2 seconds against someone in shape with a little training. Just ride...

I've ridden Harleys, adventure bikes, minis, etc. on track days. Have you?

@@MotoJitsu The only track we have locally is Hallett Motor Circuit, they are not very friendly to bikes. Ive gotten to supermoto at a go kart track, and do lots of enduro races though. But I have not had the privilege of riding on a track

I’ve been watching them and doing police courses for 8 years now

One guy doesn’t represent the entire culture of anything

That may be fast for some but very mild to others

Yup

They’re designed for different purposes but you can ride them however you wish. Pro and cons to everything.

Seems to be off a bit from what my speedometer says on the bike vs what the GPS says...who knows which is correct or not. One is either slower or faster...but I don't think it's off by much either way.

@@MotoJitsu dang that's fast! I'm a new rider and my 300cc bike top speed is 140km/h and it's seems sooooo fast. No way I could corner doing that speed. No way in h*ll 😄

fast for most, yes.

that's why I have one bike that can do it all :)

you can ride a quick pace without having any type of adrenaline rush.

@@MotoJitsu ,if your on a modern sport bike. Ride a 1960s Triumph at that same pace. Your adrenaline will be flowing.

no one I know has a 1960 anything so I don't worry about the extremely small % of people riding bikes like that when I'm making videos

@@MotoJitsu , you're missing the point, but whatever. It is a big world out there with many different motorcycles, and motorcycle riders. Having an open mind to other perspectives about riding, will lead you to realize that there are very skilled riders who don't treat the public roads as personal race tracks, and riding a bike capable of going around the track on a public road might be considered boring because it is too capable to provide a thrill at stay out of jail speeds. Maybe your perception would change a little if you actually experienced different bikes instead of passing judgment on something you don't know about.

Do you know how many bikes I've owned/ridden in my life? I treat the public roads like a track? Mmm...who's the one trying to be a mind reader and judging?

yup, you can see the screen

Are you going to read the pinned comment?

Lol this was a test u said several months ago u weren't gonna reply to messages...just effen w you love love your videos Greg

You know what he was thinking? Must be nice to read minds.

It's not as dramatic as you're making it seem lol

@@MotoJitsu it is for me. I only really feel comfortable going about 65 maybe 70 in a 35 corner... I've gotten "good" at moving my butt cheek over and body position to keep the bike upright but I don't know how deep in my lean angle I really get... about where I would on a bicycle but I know I can get deeper I'm just scared of highside/lowsiding... do you have any videos on how to get better at pushing your limits on higher speed turns? I've gone riding with guys that take those at 90+ and hairpin turns at 40+ which I really wanna do

It's not about pushing anything on the public roads nor it is about corner speed actually, it's about getting off the edge of the tire to drive out of the corner since the exit is the priority. I would encourage you to take more formal, high level courses MotoJitsu.com/courses And lower body movement on any bike on the street isn't really helpful...upper body is all you need if you even decide to move at all. but yeah, this pace following him was an easy pace for me...I've been riding this exact road for 9 years now and know it by heart.

@@MotoJitsu Thanks, I will definitely take your advice. The public roads I ride are some backcountry mountian passes in Colorado between some small towns and not many vehicles ride it, I also never ride alone in case the worst happens.

I just took a road trip from San Diego to Colorado and rode with my buddy who lives there....some awesome roads, he lives in Castle Rock.

They're made for comfort, not performance...so compared to my bike for example...huge difference.

you riding an ebike?

@@MotoJitsu Oh no I recently bought a 150cc scooter, new to riding so speeds above 40 is a little above my pay grade.

gotcha...makes sense since you're on a 150 scooter

It’s a skill speed limit…put the same rider on a “faster” bike won’t make them all of a sudden become a better rider and corner faster, doesn’t work like that.

Wasn’t necessarily referring to the power of the bike as much as weight and handling I started riding on a sportster and a few years ago I picked up a cheap 500 ninja the difference was ridiculous definitely a lot easier to flick into corners and take corners faster

Doesn’t mean he’ll be “better” on that bike…people don’t magically become better riders by riding something else.

"need to be" not everyone rides around at an easy pace everywhere.

Obviously! I’d get out of the way, too 😅
