      Agreed. His explanations are so complete that it gives a rider complete understanding of the task. Gives enough confidence to try new things, and even more confidence in performing challenging riding maneuvers that a rider already knows how to do.
      Great instructions for riders, at any level !

  • @paultrenteseaux8464
    @paultrenteseaux8464 Před 22 dny

    This is by far the best how to vid on the Wheely. My problem has always been, once up, getting spooked, and coming on too hard on the back brake, sending me down so quick, I flipped over the handle bar once. But to start by walking behind while feathering the clutch and gas, then transitioning to right leg on peg (and the key you point out that was my epiphany, constant mild pressure on that back break, to feel where that gripping power needs to be or not be, how much on and how much off to keep balance), boom, you’re wheelying, now just lift the left leg off the ground. Sooo fricken simple, it slows things waaaaaaay down, “training wheels”, so to speak. Can’t believe I never thought about walking behind the bike. I could do it in a wheel chair, so I understood the concept of having that grip to be able to pull the front wheels up with forward power, and push the nose down with your hand break on the wheel, but transitions that to a bike seemed, well, akways so rushed, popping the front tire up, and figuring out all the subtle nuances in a hundredth of a second all while spooked. Again, well done. Now o need a little 125 2-stroke to practice on, I’m 45, and need to start small. Rode my whole life, but not with any Wheely skills.

  • @grayharker6271

    I'm 67 I've been riding since I was 12. I've never been good at wheelies. I'm also a professional boat captain. I'm very good at maneuvering big boats in tight quarters. The reason is a lifetime of practice. One of these videos pointed out you don't get good at ANYTHING without practice. I believe as soon as I get back home, I'm going to get my 1975 Yamaha DT 400 out, find a good place, and start seriously practicing!

  • @DenisElpashev
    @DenisElpashev Před 3 lety +3

    Another hack to learn to lift the bike up fast to balance point without moving too much forward is to learn how to lift the front wheel with your engine off, just using the body weight and suspension.
    By learning it first, one would understand that the bodyweight and suspension do the 2/3 of the job and engine/clutch is only last 1/3...

    I can't believe I never thought of trying to practice this way. Can't wait to try this next time I'm out. The hardest thing to getting the slow wheelie is the practice time you need to master it. If I'm lucky I'll get a good clutch up and get a few seconds of experience from it. At that rate it's taken me forever to feel like I'm progressing. This gives me a clean starting spot that I can build on. Thanks Rich!

    Pro tips especially for electric motorcycles where you don’t have a clutch using the suspension pop is a must

    The best thing about the drills that you show is that I can do them in my backyard while enjoying a few beverages :) Always drink responsibly kids!

    My big thing right now is two fold - Confidence as I only have a FE 501 Husky to work with and using my index or middle finger on the clutch as they get TRIED QUICKLY and I am 65, but I am starting with your 10 lessons videos first. Thanks your a great teacher.....
