This is so good to know if I knew this 3 years ago I would have never crashed. This is something all new riders need to understand if they are choosing to hit the canyons at some point

Really good job at explaining the apex of the corner. Very easy to spot now

I'm always hunting out these type of riding videos. This is by a country mile the best video I've seen on the vanishing point. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video. 👍🏻

In the beginning of the video i couldnt really spot the vanishing point but in the example around the 4:20 mark i was able to figure it out very well. Thanks

This is an American video and show roads in the USA and elsewhere . Basically its good for riders to know about the limit point [ or vanishing point ] and we do train that here in the UK but if you look at their road positionings you will see that they are using the performance line which the can be taught on to make progress around each an every corner or bend. This is the out - in - out line in order to take bands faster. We do not teach that line here in the UK as we have the vast majority of our road out in the country and our road are narrow with many bends. What we teach in the UK is to slow on approach to determine the correct speed using the limit or vanishing point where we are now keeping a constant distance form it and that gives us not only our speed round it but also our stopping distance form it. That distance should be the distance that we can see to be clear and to be able to stop in and on our own side of the road. So this video doesn't mention that but its what we train to do in the UK. Further our positioning on any bend us is to keep that safe stopping distance and to be paralleling the curvature of the bend. This enables us to have less of a lean angle which is safer than having to lean over more at times on a bend. More lean means less available grip. We advocate a positive and constant throttle [ no acceleration through the bend until almost vertical and coming out of it. ] and that helps making it as smoothly as possible. On a positive but none accelerating throttle this throttle balances the bike front to back and if something un-towards happens we have enough ability to slow or steer away from danger. Too quick a use of acceleration, although it feels good, if we are still on the bends but at or after the apex if we use too much throttle whilst with a lot of lean angle we can over balance the the bike and lose the contact with our rear tyre and the road, then lose the bike totally sliding off or if it kicks back when we de -accelerate it could high side us off and that is painful. Happy and safe riding.

I like this. It's a lot more succinct than my effort! I'm not sure that conflating race track corners & street corners is such a great idea, though... The Art of Turning Left

Great informative video!! But could you lose the soundtrack? It's hard to hear the narrator or focus properly on what he's saying. Thanks!!

I would like to have seen your demo of entrance to an on-ramp or off ramp where you have made a complete circle by the time you complete the ramp. Think of a corkscrew; how does that effect you entrance into the turn?

Vanishing point are all well and good on none tight easy on the eye bends where one can see well in front and take in that information and deal with the corner safely. You show a left hand corner and the line taken is out, in, out so that on entry to the corner or bend the bike is closer to the inside apex and then around it and out again. This is a dangerous manoeuvre on country roads as you are blind whilst close to the kerb and anything could be up ahead of you but unseen by you until its to late. If you had to brake hard could you in the distance that you could see to be clear in front of you....No you couldnt. So a very dangerous practise.

It was autoblocked by KZitem initially but I approved it. It's showing on my view, not on yours?

Ah, thank you - somebody else said they couldn't see it. I didn't know KZitem even did that! It always showed up on my view even when the other guy couldn't see it, and there was no indication at my end either that it was blocked or that you had unblocked it. Another brilliant piece of User Interface Design from your friends at Google...

I think because you included a link it was blocked as spam, but I say the more sharing about motorcycle skills, the better for everyone.
