Excellent messaging, Greg! For example, the HHAAAHHHH's do such a great job at conveying the emotions that attach to such moments that I had to interrupt the video in the middle for a few seconds in order to take a couple of deep breaths: That's the power of a great teacher. Keep teaching, Greg.

just came home from a ride from my partners back to my place, i ride the same route almost everyday and was feeling good about my skills and the bike (tyres are pretty much done in terms of wear) came into a right hand downhill corner too quick and was pretty much completely off the brakes but managed to get back on and progressively add more pressure and get out of the situation in one piece. just wanted to say thankyou MotoJitsu! been watching your videos for a while now and got myself out of a few hairy instances with your tips and advice :)

The slower you get the more tighter you can turn every mph counts to control your line 🙌 explained really well .

Know that feeling well, even on a scooter or a bicycle. Great advice, as usual. Also, it has been my experience that when a turn sign suggests 25 mph, you could maybe do 40. But when it says 5 mph , you had better be doing 5 or slower!

This dude's voice was playing in my head when I was riding today. LoL

I'm 78 and was pretty good from age 16 to 45, but then I got away from bikes, until a couple of years ago. I was mostly an off-road guy but on a dual purpose Suzuki to get me to the good places. The corners of street riding is definitely what I forgot most. My normal approach is as you advise here And it can't be over-emphasized if you use both brakes or just the front...it has to be no grabbing.... and if like my current older 350cc it has disc front and drum rear, there is that problem, which only 200 practice curves and miles or running two-lanes helped me regain confidence.. Thanks.

Great video. I stuck with my msf course info for the first 1500km but clearly they should talk about these techniques instead. Thanks for giving sensible info.

Literally just did this the other day. 🤦‍♂️ I made a rookie move and 2as trying to keep up with my little brother, who is on a MUCH smaller MUCH more Agile bike than I am. Ended up turning way to hard, brake brake brake, roll off the throttle just a bit, still ended up wide enough to ride that yellow line and had a car coming. Butthole puckered. Anywho, ride your own rides yall. Just cause buddy takes it at 70, doesn't mean you need to. Take it at 20 if that's where you're comfortable. You do NOT need to keep up with a more experienced rider.

Ha... Yeah, this is the one i could have done with watching before my drop. As I've already commented on another video, your advice saved me from a much more severe incident. I've saved this and I'll rewatch it as soon as i get my rear brake master cylinder repaired. Application and practice, guys.

Nice vid. What about when peg is scraping? Some bikes they are low, mostly on cruisers. Also wet, I was riding in Oregon and nice easy turn but the road was slick and I wasn't in center due to oil on the road. I'm in the turn and the bike sliding to yellow line. I was concerned but kept calm and worked the turn. I didn't hit the brakes harderbut let up on rear brakes a bit thinking the front would have more weight on it, just let the bike react and moved my weight a bit from my trail riding days, shifting ones body helps too. I have been riding since 3rd grade. I like to take that course, who knows I may have habits I can work on. I taught myself so I'm sure there are some. I'm also a pilot and they teach us always keep a learning mindset. Every flight is different even if it doesn't seem that way. One other habit to have is.... When you ride think what if this happens..... If you do that, your mind will recall that when adrenaline is rising during an event. Always say what if this guy pulls out or what if this car doesn't see me, perhaps texting. You think what if.... We do that when flying all the time. Ex Sully. Did you think he just learned that during that emergency event? No, he always said what if we hit birds many times during his take offs. He knew what was around him post take off in NY. He knew the builds and Hudson River. If you watch the movie when they hit he didn't turn away from river, he turned while working issue towards river. Same with bikes, what if.....

We have just talked this at the IAM course for an advanced riders! Lean more, you probably have more space for that than you think.

I can't see someone having a problem if they are driving at the posted speed limit. Using the speed that the road is engineered for is the smartest practice. The video is good for people who always drive way above the speed limit.

Thank you for all of the instructional information you put out there. What is you opinion on RDRS on the Harley touring models?

Thanks a million again

Unless you're touching the pegs down, you can still lean the bike over further. Don't target fixate, look for the corner exit, relax, breath !

Great video bro, I really enjoy your videos about proper techniques and maneuvers. Keep it up!! 👍

Now these days . I don’t want a passenger on my bike. I want to only be responsible for my life.

Very well said and demonstrated

Diamond tips! Thank you!

High sided the **** out of my beginner bike the day I learned about cornering 😂

I love the drawings!

Great video. So if your the pink rider and you keep leaning the bike over won’t it change direction as you increase your lean angle? Assuming you’re just going in a little fast?

I was just thinking about this today. I've seen so many videos of people going in too fast and they almost invariably straighten up and ride into the field or hill or whatever is there. It made me wonder: if the choice is to accept going wide and hope for the best or take the turn and hope you don't low side, which would be better?

brain fight for surviving and produce fear. fear produce braking and braking is straight line, crash. only riding 8 on parking lot is way to have fast success. many riders don't trust bike, tires etc. all this combo produce fear from leaning. i crash myself on 1098 because of this. also, riders have wrong when speak about that you only need to ride 100000 miles and that you will have progress. NO. you will spend 100000$ on tires, gas, services and you will touch your brain limit at maybe 35 degree lean. riding 8 on parking lot is THE BEST way to train riding bike. also, many have expensive bike and here is fear from damage. invest in crash cage and ride in relax. when you can all day 55 degree lean angle both left right you are ready for saving situation like this in video.

Pretty much every harley rider skipped this video after they saw and heard pink line.... Because you know.... They are too tough and macho.

How fast do you need to be going to feel the effect of trail braking? I’m just not feeling it.

Aaaaaahhhhhhh! 😆

Bike body head

Great word! Teresa walack spelling? World motorcycle traveler said go out wide and come in close in her book easymotorcycling. Trail breaking is a great way to safe!!
