man, you are awesome! i dig your philosophy. my advanced rider course was all about body position, trail braking and outside inside outside line selection. even during the course i felt these seemed more like track techniques. since putting that training to the streets ive noticed those techniques do indeed work better the faster you are going, which introduces its own problems. now i really only use trail breaking on blind corners, body position feels more important offroad and from now on i will use a outside center outside cornering line! thank you sir! if i ever win the lotto, im coming down for a training session for sure!

You're the one who'll have to pay to fix your bike and equipment, not them. But I definitely like the way you put it.

Totally agree, especially about the body position. When I was more comfortable on my bike and was able to be smoother and faster always respecting the 70% pace/skill ratio but then got obsessed about the lower body position and realized; 1. It wasn't necessary for that speed at all as I don't even want to be closer to the max roll angle the tire can take specially on the road 2. I was losing too much energy and couldn't really focus on more important things cause I was just worried about hanging off and 3. I was uncomfortable so I couldn't operate the bike properly (brake, accelerate, change gear). Thanks for the videos, great advices!

Hi Fast Eddie, I would just like to thank you for all your amazing advice and skill training videos 👍🏻 I am a totally novice bike rider from England who just passed my Mod 1 easily purely because of your amazing advice. I feel very comfortable and confident on the my riding instructors Honda CB 600f ( Hornet I believe ? ) purely because I now understand why the bike behaves as it does and what to do but more importantly what not to do 🙈. Booked in for my Mod 2 in a few weeks and can't wait 😊 Thank you so much for instilling confidence in me that's allowed me to ride safely and smoothly. Kind regards Paul
All the advocates of trail braking give the impression in EVERY corner it should be used. I don’t road race but like to get a fast corner by being smooth, and accomplish this by following a lot of your invaluable riding advice. Once setup for entering a corner I feel trail braking mostly disrupts my flow and I end up tooooo slow and need to adjust my lean and cornering track to compensate. Thanks for clarifying trail braking is an option.

Just wanted to add that today I rode out to Calville Bay in Lake Mead National Park. The bay entry is 4 miles of downhill twisters at 8% grade. Most corners are blind. I usually ride 6 in/6 out and then return home. About 70 miles round trip. Today on my 6th trip in I came around a blind corner at around 60 mph and 100 feet in front of me were a minimum of 30 big horn sheep crossing the pass. Thanks to the skills Greg speaks about and the practice involved, which I can personally attest to, my reaction was, “I wish I had GoPro so I could show my kids!” Without the hours of practice and constant skill prep, this would have been a very bad day. Practice. Practice. Practice.

My question (not answered in any books or videos). When you are riding the curves in the video (especially with trail breaking), what speed are you going, what RPMs and what gear. I struggle with wanting to engage the clutch. I suspect you are in a “lower gear” at higher revs when trail breaking. Search the internet and all the books, no one addresses this topic. TY

Re the part about body position: I'd like to add, one of the best things I've learned is to "grab the tank with your knees". Keeping the knees tight against the tank helps you to stay in control, especially in slow manoeuvres (and in curves at "normal" speed). Knee-downs can be fun, of course, but you don't really need them outside the race track.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I had read about, and seen videos on, using delayed apex and boy did I get to use it on the dragon and all of the other tight corner roads. I stayed outside in my lane until I could either see the exit of the curve or the start of the next one before I dipped inside. The one "pucker" issue I did have on one curve on a backroad was realizing I needed to tighten my turn and, with it being a blind curve, when I did so...there was a very small patch of gravel. My back tire caught it and slid sideways for what felt like about 8 inches, followed by a relatively mild wobble of the entire bike and then got traction again. I am so glad that I didn't hit either brake when it happened. Needless to say, the rest of the guys that could hear me on my Cardo system heard some very loud expletives!

Mainly ride by myself. But I always tell people on group rides to ride your ride. Don’t worry about keeping up with better riders, that’s a recipe for disaster. My street riding advice is always ride like no one can see you and they are going to do something stupid. Ride with multiple options to get away from anything that might occur.

Yes, ride your own ride...but that's turned into a catch phrase where it looses it's meaning. So that's why I say, you're now by yourself...I don't care who's in front or behind you, what the pace they're going, you do you...you make your own choices and you're responsible for your own safety...has more meaning and impact.

Hey Greg. I think this may be one of your best videos. Nice job. I like how you ended with a back facing video of your trail braking technique. It reinforced what you just taught. Question-I notice when you trail brake you use Lee Park’s technique of being on both the brake and throttle simultaneously at times. I do this too. It makes the transition between acceleration and deceleration and vice verse so smooth. But when I was instructed by Yamaha Champion Riding School, they think I’m crazy. What do you endorse? Could you do a video on the technique? Thanks.
@MotoJitsu

No, you judged incorrectly to what I'm doing...I’m not on the throttle and brakes at the same time. I roll off the gas to 0%...then I squeeze the brake until I'm satisfied with the speed & direction the bike is going, then I release the brake to 0% brake then back to the gas and accelerate.

MotoJitsu: You, of course, know your technique better than I. But look at around 17:20: it really looks/sounds like you gently crack the throttle before completely releasing the brakes. I’m just talking a fraction of a second.

Skill and pace will increase over time with less risk. You should make a route and time it and put on a chart and keep riding that same route getting to know the road practicing on fundamentals of riding ,, breaking points looking for the apax exhilarating out of the turns and trying to ride a stady pace , Taking a riding corse going to a track day 2 or 3 times a year where you can learn more from great rider and there there at the track trust me here ok If you keep your Pace stady and ride at 60% or 80% being safe for the street your pace should increase over time and this should bring you some grat joy knowing you getting better. Im comfortable coming into a turn at 160 breaking hard on bumpy roades where your vision gets blured and comming out of corners with the front end up even in 6th gear. My pace is hi im comfortable riding at 155 mph . I did not start there i was last in the line when i started riding it took years of riding to get where i am today. I have strong points and week points still in my riding . Enjoy the freedom a bike can give you . Ride at you pace not my pace, i still do not try to keep up with faster rider then me its not safe I want to walk off my bike when i put it away.

When you say "don't" move your lower body in street riding, clarify this for me. I'm assuming your speaking about the butt cheeks? We should we hug the tank with our knees am I right - due to stability and relax the upper body. But my main question is this: When we start the corner, imagine it's a left corner Shouldn't we move the LEFT LEG in an outside motion? And the RIGHT LEG should grab firmly to the tank? or this is only suited for an aggressive driving stance and hence - track day for example?

I would be curious on a video taking more on trail braking. When I first started learning about it I got information that implied you should only trail brake using the rear brake. But recently I've been seeing the opposite now and people saying it's only the front or usually the front. So which is it? Or which way is better? When would/should you use the rear brake or the front brake to trail brake?

Also if you ever make it to Utah or Somewhere near I will definitely take a class from you.

If you're scrapping your footpeg, you're doing something very wrong..most likely pushing the bike down under you like a dirt bike or like you would for low-speed turns. If you're ever trying knee down, 1st take a course that teaches it, and if you ever practice, it's in a parking lot. Body position for the street is barley anything.

However, based on your knowledge and experience, can you upload anything about tyres recommendations, such as: ideal temperature, rubber composite, and psi; aiming lean angle and knee down. There's lot of literature about this issue, but I would like to hear your feeling.

Hey Fast Eddie! Great video like always! I'm a little confused by the 'don't move your lower body on the street' section. I remember in your video about how to go over any obstacle in the street (kzitem.info/news/bejne/1mtrl3anip14f6A) you show how if you run across an obstacle in the corner, you can be leaned off the bike and stand it up to avoid the obstacle, but pull it right back down real easy after to complete your corner. It looked like one of the keys to this was your lower body position, so I've since started riding that way when I pick up the pace in the mountains to 'give me a little extra in the reserve' if something were to pop up. Do you not think that having that extra bike lean angle scrubbed off, and having your body in a better position to deal with mid corner changes actually ADDS to the overall safety factor? Curious to get your thoughts, and thanks for all the great content!!
@MotoJitsu
5 жыл бұрын
Yes, that has nothing to do with moving your lower body, that's reducing the lean angle to go over something. Lower body movement is never necessary for the street, I never said it was. If you want to do anything, it's just upper...I have many videos explaining this.
