This is the best cornering video you'll ever watch >>>>>kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8mJZ9qrrZyZnas.html

This is the best and one of the most important videos youve ever made, in my opinion. thanks for being awesome!

Just started riding 2 months ago and I can tell you that these videos have definitely helped me to be a better rider with a better understanding of what to do as well as what not to do , and it has most likely kept me at this point from making a bad mistake. Ive watched countless hours of videos and can hear your voice in my head as I’m coming up to turns that are sketchy. Not sure if I’m a good rider but with these videos I’m getting to be a better rider more quickly. Thank you.

A tip I got my my instructor was stay basically middle until you can see the exit from the turn. Don't commit to the turn (IE don't learn in hard, accelerate, and commit to a specific line) until you can see your exit. For beginners I think this is really good advice.

I've watched your videos since I got my first bike at the end of last summer. I grew up riding ATVs, snowmobiles, etc so riding a street bike for the first time was probably easier for me than it is for people who have no relevant experience. That being said, I’m picking it up quickly but still have a lot to learn. At 50 yo, I'm just cruising the country roads on my Harley Breakout enjoying the sound of the bike and the wind. Nothing to prove like I did when I was a kid :). But it's interesting because I rode this weekend and realized that one thing I do on occasion is look too close in front of me, right where you were pointing to in the video. And when I look much further down the road (which is not a natural thing actually), it truly is much easier to handle the bike in a turn at speed. You're doing great and responsible stuff with your videos. Keep it up! and Thanks!

It's interesting that as we watch your videos how often the topic of vision keeps coming up. I can really see how, when you turned way too late, how my eyes really were focused on the edge of the road and not where I want to go. The bike goes where you look and I'm looking right at the place I don't want to be. Great example because I looked right where you said we would if we turned incorrectly.

It’s like the encyclopedia of lane positioning. very informative. I usually stay in the middle of the lane, don’t want any surprises on the other side. I will use this video as a reference. Good job. And thank you.

The last two minutes were the most important of the video. Describing how all riders ‘want’ to navigate a corner but providing the variables that take the optimal line away. Sounds confusing but once the rider practices consistently it is simple. I never want to say, ‘well, I survived that corner on every corner.’ Great video!

I love riding in the middle of my lane. Just completed a 120 mile 4 hour ride today, a lot of which was on narrow and very twisty mountain roads with huge pot holes and cars and trucks coming the other way. Having all that room to maneuver made it enjoyable and safe.

Just want to thank you . Not only for your constant videos and constant information. But thank you for getting out on the road with us and and not just TELLING us how to ride from behind a desk and in front of a greenscreen. But actually SHOWING us how it's done. It's much appreciated 😌

Couldn't agree more. Setting up too early will run you wide on the exit (and several other potential bad things). I see this all the time and not just beginners. Low speed hairpins will quickly show you why you should not enter at the inside of a right hand curve and near the center of the road on a left hand. You will be wide every time. Good info and good demo.

Thank you, this has been a major brain retraining for me. Coming from competitive cycling, hitting corners early is something I have done for years. The boys I ride with now always stress the same things you discussed, but it was so much more informative watching it from POV. 🙏🏽

Yes! Thank you Greg! That was very helpful! Keep up the great work, you're awesome!

Thanks man as a beginner these videos are invaluable. I took brc on camp pendleton and that helps with fundamentals, but they don't teach this and I noticed I do it. I always try to watch these kind of videos and make the conscious effort to apply them, otherwise what's the point. It's easy to listen to advice and just keep being complacent and doing your own thing. You are out here helping people safe stay brother, think of how many crashes you've prevented with these videos.

Thanks for your awesome info, last time I rode a motorbike, I was 20yrs old. My long time buddy just got himself a ducati and dumped his old VFR 800 at my place, told me to get a motorbike license. Just turned 61 and loving it. You have been my No 1 you tube teacher.

Great lesson! Thanks.

Another great video Greg; you're doing such great service to the motorcycle community helping riders learn to ride more safely. I've got to get down there and ride highway 94, I heard it's epic and it looks beautiful. Yesterday I rode highway 150 east from Santa Maria up through Pine Mountain Club through Frazier to the 5 freeway back to SVC. I practiced your thought process as I was navigating those twisty roads up in Frazier Park, thanks for everything you do!

Best video I have watched on cornering. Thank you Greg for what you do for us riders!

Damn you and your perfect roads and weather conditions...

Been riding for 45 years and have always been hesitant in turns especially on unfamiliar roads. Riding down the center seems to have always been my go to. Thank you for this video explaining the do's and dont's, i will practice your method and see how much difference there is.

Thanks. I took up riding again about 15 years ago. I didn't know what actually was the correct technique till I discovered u tube training like yours over the last five years or so. Now I practice and am confident enough to ride more powerful bikes these days.

Great video Greg, Thanks!!!

Your channel is saving lives I’m glad I found it while I started riding!

I’m glad you went on to mention unfamiliar roads. With zero knowledge of the type of turn and what’s up ahead, it only makes sense. Always a great video. Thanks!

Thanks! Really useful!

Many thanks Buddy, great video as always, we also need to scan the road while riding in the middle for oil traces, etc.

Ironically when I first hit the twisties I completely forgot the correct way to approach them. one tight left hand twist I took it riding on the middle of the road a bit to fast . My Lord was watching out for me . If a car would have been coming I would have hit it . Talk about a hard-core pucker factor. Thanks for sharing. Big Mex Pete

The timing for this was crazy accurate for me! I was entering early this week with good speed with no personal stress, just “the adjustment”! New term! Thanks Dude!

Great tips!! Amazing video!

Excellent advice. Blind corners, especially left-hand ones, where cars and trucks have a natural tendency to go wide into your turn, can have you, get your head torn off, if you are leaning over that centerline mid turn (mirrors on trucks are way out into your lane). Right hand turns can get your head torn off if you are leaning into a tree limb, bush, a deer (that's a look you'll never forget...lol) and even parked car or truck mid turn (again truck mirrors are way into your lane). I actually ran off the edge of a highway, on an almost straight left-hand turn, because I was distracted. Ran the bike too close to the right edge, and right off it, onto the sandy shoulder going fifty miles per hour.. I dropped the bike too because the edge of the asphalt was about three inches up from the shoulder. That rear tire was never coming back on the highway. I should have simply stopped on the shoulder. Instead, I dropped the bike, and me, on our side, thankfully on an empty highway. You only do that once, going fifty mph, and it cures you of the, not paying attention, stuff. That happened over thirty years ago, and I am still pissed, at myself, I did that.

This video gave me anxiety D: but I appreciate what you are teaching. I just bought my first bike and I'm trying to refresh my memory of what I've learned in the safety course before I ride. Thank you!

I just began watching your videos and your instructions have been spot on and very informative. I practice them when out on rides and have found that they make me a better rider. My high speed cornering has improved as a result. Long time off roader here but now riding the streets on a Triumph Bonneville and enjoying it, but it's definitely a different riding style from off road riding. Btw, I thought that area your riding in looked familiar, as you may already know, the back roads of San Diego county offers some excellent motorcycling.

There's a solid yellow line there for a reason. Don't pass in a solid yellow.

So clearly explained, demonstrated and shown visually. One of the best Twisties explanations I've seen. It also relates well to UK roads. So thanks matey

None of this made since until I started riding great vid thank you… I always come back for reference 👍🏾👍🏾

Great explanation and visual of the point!

this one was very helpful and cleared my mind off many doubts, thank you

Great tips! I love that road! I can recognize it anywhere haha

Excellent instruction!! Very important lesson.. micro throttle adjustments aid holding line as well.

Thankyou for the video !

Dude thanks so much for this video!

I'm currently watching your video and you are correct about the mistakes that begginers make , but , I'm waiting and watching for you to show us how to do it correctly. I hope its not one of those videos that show the mistakes without showing the correction. Because I wouldn't have learned anything and wasted my time. OK I'm editing now, great video! Glad you did clarify that. I just got a bike yesterday first time driver too! You prob saved my life or very least you helped me be a better rider. Glad you defiantly did show the correct way towards the middle and end. Couldn't have said it better myself. Well I couldn't have said it period cuz I'm so green. But, anyway thanks a lot.

I started riding again after 43 years 3 1/2 years ago. These videos are important for those of us who ride. I’am always trying to learn to be a better rider to be safe and to enjoy the ride more. Thanks for your insight and help.

EXCELLENT ! Thank you!

Perfect video, you have a very nice voice to listen to!

I started on a R6 4 weeks ago. I just want to thank you for your knowledge bro. 🤙 I'm 100% certain your videos have saved my life. I've dropped my bike once in a parking lot. I was practicing U-turns and did the 3 mistakes that results in laying it down. Can you guess the 3? I've also shot off the road into the grass going into a turn too late. I kept it up though! I'm learning but I love every second of it. Thanx again 🤙🤙

Great video. Bunch of great tips

Oh my God Moto phenomenal very very important information in and out very thorough easy to understand good tutoring you should have been a public speaker thank you very much and I ride a Harley haha

MJ; your "open up the turn" at the beginning and the end is, to a surveyor, a hillbilly spiral curve. Like all railroad curves. Interstate highways and on/off ramps are sometimes Barnett spirals too. Especially older ones. We need to do that (no jerkey movements). Even car drivers instinctively do it too. I've seen the C/L oil stain marking out spiral curves on a regular constant radius road. Until your vid though; I never realized why we all do it........ sight distance and smoothness. It's nice when one technique solves two problems. So often in this universe; one fix causes another difficulty.

this was super helpful, i realized i was too close to the double yellow, but never by how much. one thing i would like to ask, you're going 50-60 and you're just flicking the bike around, i have a really hard time maneuvering over ~30 mph like it feels really hard to turn, am i just not pushing on the bars hard enough, or is there something else going on.

Damn I'm loving your channel man. Thanks for all the info

I've always preferred late entry but it's because I ride on tight blind hairpin turns through mountains in a 3rd world country so you never know if someone is doing something stupid halfway around the corner like overtaking. It gives me valuable time to assess the corner and how aggressive I can be.

Great video! 👌 Real good explanations. Thank you MotoJitsu

Comentary while you are riding CAN NOT be beat! Thank you!

Excellent topic. Very well presented.

When i first started riding years ago and before i found your videos that was all me everything you said yelp i done it!! Then i found your videos can’t remember exactly which one but one comment you said stuck with me “ look through the corner” and sure enough when i started looking through and beyond the corner everything just started to click’

I found for me i like to keep my tires as close to the middle as possible without my body going over the yellow, that way i have a lot of room on the road for mistakes and avoiding obsticles

I have always thought that riding in the middle of the lane is where the most oil can be found; particularly in Southern California after or during a rainy day (remember it may have been 5 or 6 months since the last rainy day). Perhaps I am simply wrong because you seem to be happy to use the entire lane, depending upon how you want to ride a given curve, etc. Or maybe when you say "middleisch", you don't mean middle. Please clarify your thinking and would you change your lane position choices if the road is wet.

Good video! And just to put some numbers to it, the U.S. standard for highway-speed curves is a constant rate 200m radius. By making full use of a standard 12' wide lane, you can effectively increase this to a 220m radius in a full 90-degree curve. For a more typical 45-degree curve, making use of the technique you demonstrated, the effective curve radius increases by almost 67% to a ginormous 365m. That increase applies linearly to the centrifugal force pushing the bike toward the outside of the curve. So a 67% increase in effective radius = a 67% reduction in this force, thereby significantly reducing the lean angle required for a given speed through the curve.

I prefer lane selection on the road...meaning left or right of center lane...I very seldom ride ctr lane due to gravel...I've learned to follow the vehicle tracks which is not ctr lane. Peace

Couple other things to consider when choosing your line: If you are following another vehicle stay out of their blind spot, meaning you may not want to be too far to the left or the right depending on how far back you are from the vehicle ahead. I tend to prefer slightly to the left or right of center, but this will change when in turns as you pick your line. Also I tend to avoid directly in the center depending on the road conditions since the center typically has more oil and debris, especially a factor if the road is wet.

Excellent advice for any rider!

Great video, very understanding

@ MotorJitsu Brotherman you have just saved another newbie biker.I learnt something of utmost importance today.Thank You and God Bless.

You make it so easy to understand the physics of it. Amazing communication skills!!

Yes!!! I “SEE WHAT YOU’RE SAYIN”!!!🤣😂🤣 Awesome info!! Thanks for posting!!!😉👍🏼

Love your videos !! Very informative!! However you should not pass a vehicle when you have a solid yellow line, it changed sold because a turn was coming up, especially when you could of just moments before with the dotted lines.

I wish I would have found your videos before my crash.. would have saved me a lot of time, money, and anxiety.

I'm a chopper / cruiser rider, yet I can very much relate to what you have said in the video.. A few times the 'ride the right way' saved my ass / my co-rider's ass, in situations like e.g. car in the opposite direction riding on the / slightly beyond the edge of the lanes split, idiots behind / in front of me riding the 'let's see what happens' way, etc.. I managed to avoid all, with relative ease and minimal adrenaline rush. I'm sort of a 'do NOT look in front of your bike, but where TO you want it to go and observe the environment all the time' kind of a guy (since my day 1), and, probably thanks to that, in the last 15 years, I had only a single accident (a so called no-party-fault one, where, at 25kmph, except for me, nobody was hurt). Watching the video, where you demonstrate the riding mistakes / inaccuracies makes me wonder WHO can call themselves seasoned, as I perceive those 'riding flaws' at guys with a lot of experience as well.. Maybe it's an item for a discussion, but from empirical standpoint, I tend to think that my approach (= the one of yours) is the better, safer and more rewarding one, in long term. Nice video - and ride safe 🙂

Next, a video on lane markings and when to pass and not pass other vehicles...

thanks for the tips man

Excellent video Greg. Very thought provoking and instructional. Very much appreciated. Can’t hear these messages too often.

Thanks for the advice

Game changer! Thanks

Thanks, always watching fronn the philippines. enjoy the roads yourself

Excellent video, as usual. Thank you very much.

I am watching several videos and yours was next. As I was watching, around the 3:40 mark you say, "the basic level for lines... the white belt level for lines is..." I stopped and replayed that part. (Did he say white belt level?) You did... then I saw your youtube name. Dude. You roll. That's awesome. I subscribed to your channel on that alone! Thanks for the video and the advice about driving in the curves.

Based off of the thumbnail, I can only assume the mistake is riding with both hands off the bars, so I will be sure not to do that!

Mantob... Thanks, v.good useful info... .

Just watching this is freaking me out...LOL. Great video, things I still need to practice!

This is one of the best explanations I have seen why you should stay in the middle, because of having more options. I have to regret that I stay much of the time on the right. Even if I have an open space. On the other hand staying to the right has saved my life several times while driving around blind corners as the roads in Germany, and in Europe in general, are very tight sometimes. Anyway, grate video thanks sharing your experience wit us. Marcus

Love this video, soooo many riders need to learn this to be safer.

I haven't gone through any twisties yet but after watching this I definitely will take this with me when I do. Ur lines were so uncomfortable for me lol. Haha thank u for this!

I’ve been riding for a while but in PA my lines are based off of road conditions. There’s pot holes everywhere and those snake patches.

Fixating on where you don't want to be and freaking out. A deadly combination.

Great video, thx

I find myself turning in too early from time to time. It drives me nuts. Good vid.

Great stuff as usual. Asphalt (asphaltic) Concrete is a composite of aggregate e.g., sand or small diameter rock and cement , an adhesive which binds the aggregate together in a matrix. 😉

Thanks for great explanation. This things really helps a new riders to improve the skills and get an experience.

"I'm just looking at the ground in front of me... " ...is what I got from this entire lecture.

Great video. Always learning something new. You live in some amazing place. The views and the ride looks awesome.

This is great when your by yourself, need to get a system down with the friends I ride with to honk when they go to pass me or something whats the best way to work that out when the rider behind you sees enuff space to pass you but you using the whole lane to go side to side like that

Newbie here, great video bout to play catch up on other videos. What bike are you on?

Very good tutorial ty

ُThanks for the very good video, clear voice and teaching, Every part of the video is awesome.

Excellent, practical video

Love the bjj terminology lol. Great instruction 🤙🏼

Man, i have learned so much from your videos, but they give me tachycardia just seeing how fast you ride. hehe. thank you for sharing your knowledge.

very nicely explained so ; left turn= middle right then slowly left middle then middle again, right turn =middle left then middle right then back in the middle

The centre line gives you a hint of when to lean in or out, as the line bends so do you!
