Every vlogger on youtube: "This is how this works!" Mike on Bikes: "Well hmmm... This is how it actually works and here is the real physics in numbers. It's really not that complicated you know..." Me: "Holy F**k. Everything finally makes sense now"

Thank you for making a comeback! Your content is my favorite on KZfaq. I hope everything has been going well for you

Dude, your videos are so good! Thank you for all the work that went into this one. Cheers from Germany!

Honestly, I just wish you published more content. I love everything you put out there. Keep being great.

The one thing I learned at last is "no cornering beyond 45 degree" The rest i leave it to mathematician or inventor who are going to develope self riding robot later. Anyway very insightful and detail explanation Mr Mike. I may need to replay this for 100 times to crack it👍👍👍

You point out some facts I never thought about .. I tend to know more about how cars Handle .. Interesting the differance/// between cars and motorcycles..

I've been riding for 25 years and this is the first time I've felt even close to understanding how a motorcycle actually turns. Outstanding.

I love your channel, I'm actually buying a motorcycle and your channel helps me knowing the theory of riding a motorcycle. Please make more videos like this 😁

Good to have you back after those few months! And also with such an interesting topic. You really can't learn enough about cornering

This is the best explained cornering of a bike, I have seen. This should be in all MC training to get a license. Instead now we have lots of instructors telling people that counter-steering is track riding only. They know noting about how a bike turns, and they are instructors teaching others to ride. No wander so many people die riding a bike, every year. People are not being told the truth. And are being told the wrong ting. It's obvious to see that most of the crashes with bikes are single crash. Going off the road not making the corner.

Your videos are some of the best on YT.. I’m a better rider because of your content

I have learned soooooo much from Mike about motorcycle physics, that the thumbs up and subscription are just too little to be honest. I mean I knew quite a bit by myself, but Mike explaining it with nowledge he gained from scientific sources makes you understand everything much better. The biggest danger for motocyclists I see, are YT channels, that try to explain motorcycle physics by using simple elementary school physics and then try to explain things like tire grip or motorcycle cornering. Everytime I am not able to exactly explain something to another rider, or they need to see it or understand it in their head I advise anyone then to the following three channels: Simon Crafar MotoVudu, Sylvain Guintolis channel and Mike on Bikes! I mean, putting him on par with these two means something, doesn't it? Thank you Mike for being such a great source for knowledge and technique!

Thought this was supposed to be “easy to understand” 😂. Just tell people “it works. Try it”

Hey Mike! Explained with swedish precision! Thank you for the analysis, recommenable vid of yours again.

Been a while - happy you are back and enjoying your content as always!

Great cornering explanation and the formulas to calculate forces are helpful to understand what is actually happening. Thanks!

Mike: this is how a motorcycle steers Neo: hold my spoon

well this is easily the earliest i’ll ever be on one of your videos

Great to see you back man, your content is always top notch!

Good to see you back publishing context. Thanks.

One of the better treatments on the subject I have seen. Well done

I felt like I was in a physics lecture.. Great video and has a lot of information.

I love your channel Mike! Keep em coming I love videos that go more in depth on how to ride at the limit.

Seen so many videos trying to understand countersteering, finally i understood after watching it here. Thanks guyz for the excellent presentation 👍. Love from the UAE 🇦🇪. Can't thank you enough finally my riding is so much faster and safer now.

This video provides a better explanation than the vast majority of race track tutorials I have viewed.

Good video mate, it's been such a long time without a video that i started getting worried. Thank you for the good content (as always). :)

This explains everything I have been thinking about recently. Thank you! 😊

aero industry and motorcycle have a lot more in common than people know, except no one is trying to fly to the moon in a Husky :)

THE LEGEND IS BACK

I been doing all this for fifty years...naturally. Very cool to "see" it all explained. Thank you.

This video help me alot in my motorcycle riding specially in cornering. Thanks to you man!

Was just thinking how we haven't seen a video from Mike in a while. Thanks for the upload!

This exactly what I have been missing. Plus well explained. I have subscribed

As soon as i saw the thumbnail, i immediately understood the concept of counter-steering

This was the type of explanation I was looking for, thanks!

Great video Mike. This info helps everyone ride more intuitively, so thank you!

a doctor, a fireman, a teacher, a stepbrother and now a biker? you have my respect man

I was dying for newer vids !!! Need more often !

Best turnning explanation on KZfaq, top notch!

Well, this refreshed my memory and gave me something more to learn...

I love these videos, thank you for your time.

Very thoughtful video Mike. Thanks for posting !

Amazing explained on a very understandable way ! Bravo and thank you

Your videos always snag my attention to them, I must watch😎👍

Phenomenal explication! It is so difficult to discuss this subject with my Harley guys. They argue against the physics, as if my Phat-Boy needs to lean and their Glide doesn’t. The imperceptible weave reminds me of my first submarine cruise. The Boatswain kept tell the Captain how far left or right of track the boat was traversing compared to the plotted intended course. No such thing as a straight line! 2020 Phat-Boy

Love your videos especially the physics aspect 👌

Finally a new video! Very informative!

Excellent presentation, Mike.

Wow, high density information there mate. I'm gonna have to watch this again. I tried to read a book on bicycle physics a few times and realised that I can feel it better than understand it. Maybe understanding will not make for more enjoyment and I'm better off without it for something like this. I'm still enjoying the puzzles though.

You and your vids have been much missed!

Thanks for this tutorials!! And AWESOME collections of motorcycles !! Stay safe

This is an amazing video. Keep up the great work !!

Awesome video and explanations. Have you considered doing a video on physics of whips?

Amazing video Mike! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks a lot, author. You explain it very accessible.

Wow, lots of great information and a very easily understandable presentation!

Awesome video and well explained.. To my view of riding.. Push the handle bars towards the direction u wanna go to make counter steering simple.. Am I right!!

i love your videos cause i always learn so much

Thank you for a great explanation and very explanatory graphics! "easy to understand"... once you watch this video many times :D

More videos like these please. I learn a lot from these

I always appreciate these videos as they go deep dive on the theory behind what we do. However, I didn't find a video where they explain you to have more confidence on the grip of the tires, on the street. How i can go faster without thinking i'm going to have a lowside for exceeding the lateral forces, eventhough i'm not by far at the 45 degrees limit. The theory is there, smooth on the gas, lean more, load the front tire, etc, we all have read the Twist of the Wrist Volume 2 but i can't really improve my leaning technique with only theory. There must be a way on it, without spending money on courses, or trackdays, just by practicing but with something to rely on, that you can feel. It's easy to feel the grip going away on a car, (understeering) but on a bike, the only feel that you have for lack of grip on the front is the impact with the ground and the expensive visit to the shop :( Maybe some leaning and G gauges that BIP when you are at some % of the limit that could grow your skills by setting the warning higher and higher...

Great video, great explanation, thank you.

Wowww, your videoes are absolute amazing

Just great and usefull explanation... THANKS !

"When we introduce lean into this rotating mass", referring to the steering torque generated by leaning the bike, is how people can ride bicycles and motorcycles "no hands" - by steering with pressure of their knees against the tank or frame, causing the lean, and the front wheel to steer towards the lean.

Excellent, thanks for the work.

As a new rider I really appreciate this video. Thanks

This is the 1st KZfaq video to mention yaw due to change of lean angle (roll rate). Bravo! But unless one has a degree in physics, no one believes that one. :-(

Superb explanation!

Finallyyy you are back

easy to understand... nice explaination

Riktigt professionellt. Bra video tack!

One more helpful video. Thank you so much ☺️

Excellent video.

Brilliant video: thanks!

Very informative video..👍👍👍

Exceptional explanation

that was a great explaination, thank you very much

This video is a gem! ❤️

Mike on bikes+supermotos= instant like.

Really nice bro. Congrats!!

Outstanding! As usual.

Congratulations 👏 this is the best and most complete explaination on motorcycle physics !! But u are going too fast and summerizing topics too quickly for viewers, if this video is for just a show off and recall for pros its greats. Thumbs up👍💯👏 But if its for newbis like me who love Motor cycles and have a love for physics it needs more explaining 🙂 Good work 👍 But it has a potential for becoming perfect.. plz explain more, slow down a bit, use easy words and examples.. cuz this video could be a life saver!! And mind opener for many people...

Great Vid. Succinct with great pacing. Keep it highbrow.

Nice video and what a garage! haha Supermotos, dirt bike, adv bike, sportbikes, pitbike.. wonder how you find time to ride each and every one of them! Greetings from Brasil!

great demonstrations

i can see you have gone to considerable lengths to make this video. Thanks made it easy to understand

Nice stable young man ! The cruiser will join the studs eventually... Thanks for the pertinent info as always. Nice to finally understand gut feelings with equations :-)

Great explanation

This video made me feel like I was actually in a corner. Well done 👏 ✔ 😌

Solid content, good popularization

very good explanation

Amazing to see the people that disliked this video are still alive

nice and informative video

Dude you explained this so well for people who have no concept! Yet, they still have no concept! But why does my KTM 1190 Adventure with 19" front, large wheelbase, 550 lbs and a rake and trail of 26 degree and trail of 4.72, turn on a dime? Compared to Street Triple 401lbs 24.3 degree and 3.75" is it all in my head? LOL You rock!

Suuuper video like always bro!!! :) :) ;)

Thanks a lot, brother!

Big big Motolove! Love my very own Kawasaki. Always putting up the good stuff like Delta Parole, Metallica, Alice In Chains and others when I am working on her and sometimes even on drive! Moto is life

Great video ! Thanks! (Also, a great humor brake with that image at 8:12 🤣 )

Thank you soooo much for using load transfer instead of weight transfer. Weight doesn't transfer unless some mass is moving about the chassis.
