Thanks for watching!! SHARE with your riding group!! linktr.ee/GregWidmar
Hey motojitsu I just watched 100 points of grip, he talked about how it might not be best to flick the bike in because you don’t want to add lean angle points quickly the same way not to brake or add throttle quickly. How would u compare this method to flicking the bike in too fast?
Do you no what that's the best was to put it this is the best way for me to understand thank you 🙏
68 years old just got a Panigale v4.. learn a lot from your videos. Been riding for52 years mostly cruisers. and I’m short guy. Drop my new bike twice in my driveway.. practicing 1 foot down.. do you have any suggestions how to improve so I can ride my dream bike.. thank you
Dude, this video is two years old, .... and your stuff keeps popping up because I'm liking and downloading. Don't want to lose it. So, I watch others too, .... and they compliment your techniques ( but your explanation is better). First time I heard you say outside, inside, and then outside, .... it was so mechanical when I started it. To me it was to much effort until I realized the application. The tighter the curve, the greater the application. The Air Force had a mandatory bike class when I served, ... but you are making me to want to find Jesus on my motorcycle, to find a class to teach me more refined techniques.
" I have to go home everyday " that's the most important teachings! love it bro!
Greg your content is always the best! People like me who can't yet afford track days or riding schools get to learn the basics because of you
Same here. Grateful for these tips and advice from pros like Greg. Lifesavers. God bless.
Same dude, I can't wait to get back out there and quit worrying about dumb stuff and focus on whats important
Yeah not just I enjoy watching his videos I am so much thankful to him for what he does !
Gtreat point, and that's the richness of online communities: sharing of knowledge. Everyone can learn at least the basics.
Riding school will be cheaper over time because insurance will give you a discount if you do a safety course
The best way to learn how to ride a motorcycle is to not have a car.
Taught jiujitsu for 5 years and I love your martial arts like approach towards motorcycling. Keep doing this great work and saving lives.
Martial arts approach? Care to elaborate?
@@andrewandrew3713 Being humble, open to criticism. Not just learn the techniques but try to master them. Not just know them but understand what makes them work and why each aspect of the techniques have a purpose.
@@LastRightsTV ah of course! Isn't that what everyone is trying to do when competing at higher levels?
The demonstration of the last point (cornering speed) was VERY CLEAR. Great communication skills!
First ride on the highway today, did my commute to school. It’s about 30 miles each way. Thanks to great videos like this one, I was able to make the round trip safely. Appreciate your videos, keep them coming
Hope you’re enjoying the riding Brother. Stay safe
@@dharalazlo 11,000 miles later, I’m just now considering “upgrading” my ninja 300. It has been a great bike, and I live to ride. I’ve ridden several bikes, I’m leaning toward a 600, either a GSXR or the ZX6R. 🤷♂️. Stay safe, see you out there
@@ericrolland9092 If you commute 60 miles a day, consider other bikes.
@@VMAdventures88 I’ve been looking at Harley’s as my next bike. Looking at a newer Street Bob, just waiting for it to clear inspection. I still want a sport bike as well, perhaps later this summer I’ll pick one up. I’m at 13k miles on a 300 in a year, so I think I’m ready🤷♂️
@Eric Rolland I think you would do good. Just get what suits you best.
When I was racing dirt bikes I trained with Gary Semiks and he always taught me to focus on 2 to 4 seconds ahead of myself.especially at speed. Because the faster you go the more active your eyes have to be. This translated to my street bike riding and I've found on the street ya have to be planning/ looking farther down the road head movement and eyes are so important.
Greg’s mom comes to see him and sends him to his room for drawing on the patio AGAIN!
Crystal clear and life enhancing as always 👍🇬🇧
Very helpful for a “newbie”. One year in to my riding experience.
Hope you’re enjoying yourself!👍🇬🇧
You don't need to put "newbie" in quotation marks. With 1 year of riding you are a genuine newbie.
Glad you are watching good content and learning.
In another year you will be so much better at riding and realise how overconfident you were now.
@@teatowel11something tells me you don't know him personally, normally a year into something isn't a newbie, hence the quotation but he humbled himself and said he was a newbie in skills level so where do you see overconfidence, maybe you should lower that superiority complex
I’m not trying to be the fastest… I just like the feeling of flowing through the corners… Constantly breaking hard or accelerating hard is not my idea of fun… These tips are perfect for racing and lowering lap times but that’s not my goal…
It’s much more of a squid move to pin it on every straightaway and out of every corner… I love the feeling of leaning and carrying some speed (within reason) through the turns and don’t plan on changing that…
I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m just saying that there’s more than one way to enjoy motorcycle riding other than the technical way…
Totally agree with this comment ! Squids are the ones who can’t lean and carry speed into corners !
Squids are scared and have no skills to corner with their knee down !
All the pleasure is in cornering !
So slow cornering is definitely useless !
Greg just sounds like the old dudes on harleys or on 1000cc bikes taking advantage of lazy power !
Plus those tips are not perfect for racing !
To improve lap times you need to break hard but not too hard !
“If your knee is not touching you are over slowing” champ school
it's all about enjoying lean-angel - that's why i ride a bike - and not a car 😉
Tip 4: Think ahead
In the part where you show a planned route to be tight on the left before the blind right because “there's no oncoming cars” is a big mistake. In the time it takes to move to that position, there is a good chance a car will come around the corner. Then where will you go?
Much better to plan for the possible oncoming and position accordingly.
i think he didn't mean to go all the way to the left but to the left of your lane. as soon as you see oncoming traffic then you can easily go of the throttle and reposition yourself more to the middle of your lane. and he only meant the closest corner because we can look far enough ahead to assume that corner will be empty when we pass it. the next corners remain unsave.
I don't have a bike yet but got all my gear. Mentally this is the thing hardest for me in my head is cornering. I only been on a dirty bike one time but it was a lot of fun. Can't wait to get all my tests done to get my first bike. Trying to soak up all the knowledge I can as I don't know anyone personally that owns or rides bikes. Thanks for the tips & stay safe brotha 👊.
I've watched several of your videos on cornering in the last couple years and they've all been very helpful. But I ran across this one for the first time a few days ago, and in trying to put these ideas into practice this week I feel like more than anything it's had an immediate impact on my confidence in corners .
It's not so easy. Have to make this kind of path analysis very fast, and as you said you have to be very quick with the eyes. But the more I practice at it the more automatic it becomes. Bravo!
Brilliant tutorial. I’m new to riding, I went out for a ride after watching this video, putting into practice here, and wow how more confident and safer I felt when I got back home. Thank you👍
Cornering is one of the areas I’ve been working on as a new rider, and this was one of the best explanations I’ve seen. Happy subscriber and new app buyer over here. Thanks for all you’re doing to look out for us.
Man! You’re helping me to unlearn all the bad habits I picked up because I’ve been focusing on the wrong thing all these years.
I like the point about scanning, I find it's v easy to get obsessed by your limit point so you look like more like someone in Star Trek staring at a far galaxy rather than an alert rider, and subsequently fail to notice the pothole in the middle distance. It does take constant practice flicking your focus between the two but avoids scary back wheel hops. Brilliant vids, you probably save more lives than a paramedic
Thanks man, really appreciate what you’re doing here! Giving out your valuable knowledge to other riders so they can get home safe? You a real one ! #Respect
I appreciate that info. I've ridden various styles of bikes, but new to sport touring. This seem to show the ability to be safer and faster, everything we want. I'll be trying and practicing this in the next few days.
I’ve been naturally doing this more after one of I think your videos talked about staring the turn to early. I didn’t think I was early, but I started waiting super long and “dipping” the bike a little harder. This resulted in what you’re saying here. I’m in a Harley though not a sports bike so I feel like it’s a little (not much though) different
This video will save ALOT of lives!
The video of that kid going off a cliff is one of the saddest and most preventable things I’ve seen..Thank you.
Practicing braking saved my life literally last week. I was going fast but wasn't focusing and left it late to slow down. Luckily there was a turnoff in the middle of the corner. I straightened my bike up and progressively braked and I stopped just before the berm and didn't crash or drop the bike. I was going like 47mph into a rather sharp turn. Realistically I could've sent it but it would be out my comfort zone to do that.
You're vids are the best and they show how much you care for riders by constantly reminding them to remove unnecessary risks and constantly practice. Nicely done.
Such fantastic information. Greg, I've been indebted to you forever for your teaching and snippets! The community owes a lot to you and your efforts.
In Nepal, there is not such courses like in Europe, here we just learn in driving center and go through simple test to get license and that’s all.. and most think they are ready for anything .
But because of your videos I have improved my skills and helped changed my mindset relating to riding a motorbike
"My goal is to go home everyday" very well said... How will you enjoy many years of riding if your already dead because of an accident
Greg you've have incredible skills to make complex things easy. Excellent idea to draw on a twisted road picture. 👏
Always good info.. Your videos helped me to get back comfortable corning after my crash and my confidence is still not back 100% but the practice is helping.. 👍🏽
came here for learning how to corner better, ran my bike off the road the other day but got it back on the road without incident. Thank God.
The mid corner speed explanation was spot on. I was asked what speed I take such or such corner, and I simply couldn’t answer other than “I point and shoot”.
As a father of 4, everyday I jump on the bike I need to remind myself to stay humble mid ride.
Takes a lot of reps for your body to learn how hard you can brake going into a turn, but that concept is gold. Learning how to brake hard makes you a fast rider; the counterintuitive truth.
You have changed my cornering technique.
Totally with you Greg…the faster i got the bike straight up, the sooner i can open more throttle…and the faster i lap the track.
I rode with an incredible rider yesterday on 120 miles of two laned backroads... He was probably riding @ 80% (fast) I was riding close to my 95% fast-riding-cornering abilities... When I do corners fast, I scan and try to focus on staying smooth, but riding as hard as we did yesterday required an entirely different skillset using my brakes prior to the curves rather than my usual "downshifting" / engine torque... Great video !
My priority is the sound and looks because that means more women
The trees are blocking the last part of the turn. I live on a island in the Philippines where they do alot of nickel mining and large trucks always cross the center line here. The tree blocks the last part of the turn and you would be safer ending up on outside of turn to avoid getting ran over by a dump truck. Turns are very sharp here and some are very steep. Best case slow down and be aware of trucks and other vehicles which often cross the centerline.
MotoJitsu is the best 👍🏽 You know he’d smoke most people with a less powerful bike. I’m new to riding and I wanted a big fast bike because I want power, but I’m seeing that it makes no sense as I have 0 skill. Thanks for the honesty 😊
Autocrossing cars taught me a few things... You can only do 100% of 1 thing at a time - stop, turn or accelerate - 100% brake, then 100% turn, then 100% accelerate - as an extreme example of course but ties into the point of this video. Using the brake hard and accelerate out method, I've left other riders in the dust on corners when I've felt like I was not pushing at all as I do consider myself a beginner rider, but with the autocross background.
I've also learned this - you can only go as fast into and out of a corner as related to how far you can see around the corner. The less you can see around the turn, the slower you should be going, the farther you can see the faster you can go
Love your content MotoJitsu, I just recently got off my learners and got my licence for my bike. I own a Kawasaki Ninja 400 2022, very light bike it's about 157kg kerb weight think that's about 350 lbs roughly. Absolutely right about cornering, once I learned to look where I wanted to end up everything came naturally even doing things like counterbalancing the bike during slow but tight turns. There's a hospital a couple of suburbs over near where I live (I'm in NSW, Australia on the Central Coast) and the corner to come out of the carpark is a tight left like a hairpin. Your content is about generally improving rider safety which is excellent, your concern for the well-being of riders is genuine.
We have a similar version of bike testing to what you ladies and gents do over in AZ in my home state of NSW. We do rider education, road position, hazards, poor predictability of car drivers (especially people who drive BMW SUVs) and what to do when conditions change suddenly. I love my bike, I'm not going back to mainly driving a car. Bikes are more sustainable, they use less fuel and have less impact wear on the road. Thanks for great content.
You’re welcome!👍🏼👍🏼
I am doing my prep for the driving exam for motorcycle category (A) and I am kind of afraid to lean the motorcycle. Can't trust the damn thing yet🤷🏻♂️ your content is very helpful to calm my mind and better understand the whole thing. Thanks
Hope you passed man, doing my A2 in 20 days
Very helpful for a vet like me, I'm always learning on a bike.. People who think they know it all.. See you in ER.
The look your intended path was what made me learn how to do the 8, without going straight ahead towards my "target".
Amazing!! Great tips!!! The 3rd one is totally intended for those, who love to show off for no real reason..
So helpful and makes complete sense . Thank you.
I'm not gonna lie, im a lean angle freak but your video about being an exit rider opened my mind up, this helps even more
This video is one of the best motorcycle instructional videos ever made in the history of internet, a must watch for every rider … thanks MotoJitsu 🙏✌️🤙
I just ride my 2006 gsxr 750 to work, but as I watch your videos I always catch at least one new thing to add to my enjoyment commute! Thanks!
I needed to see this today. I'm new to riding and have the squid mentality already - You've kept me in check - thanks!
My man keep it coming with those cornering lessons. I appreciate all your videos. Thanks for making videos for people who want to ride correctly
I see many people in my area trying to turn while twisting the throttle and always complain their wheels don't have grip.
Mid corner speed is a detail I practice when the conditions allow it. For me it lets me refine another aspect of riding. That said, I am talking about increments here not "let's see if I can touch stuff down so I can pose at Starbucks".
Great tip I've noticed the pro's like yourself do this very informative stuff sir thanks for sharing
That was a great advice mid speed is for squids, I ride scooter and scooters have limited lean capability due to small tyres so they can't be leand like a bike or a sports bike so keeping you squid tip in mind i think even a small 110 cc scooter would also do the great stuff .
Love this video thanks again for your work.
You are absolutely right! I’ve been riding for 50 years this year and I never cared about mid corner speed. It’s all about having a little fun in between the straight-aways. This is true regardless of the type of bike you’re riding. I am the rare breed of rider that appreciates the attributes that diffent types of bikes bring to the table. I have a 62 Harley Davidson Glide, a Suzuki GSX600R and a dual sport. Obviously the GSXR corners better but my Hog is very comfortable on the iron butt rides but it would be unrideable in the dirt, you see where I’m going with this. Ride YOUR bike, don’t try to keep up with anyone, just have some fun on your timetable, if your friends are dicks about it, maybe ya need a new batch of friends. Above all else the MOST important thing is getting home! Keep it rubber down brother!😊
Why haven't u watched this till earlier. I lack judgement and breaking skill, i crashed using my 125cc scooter earlier in a steep corner. Will definitely practice this! Thanks bro!
Why would you go fast if you're not on the track?
Never heard this explained better regarding cornering speed and lean angle. Really nailed it for me and something I will work on for sure. Excellent advise, love your channel!
Your videos are such a bliss 👍✌️ I thank you kindly 🙏 I am a Newbie who bought a Cb1000R as my first bike and learning a lot from your videos. I already put 1000 miles safely since I bought it brand new.
A liter first bike you savage!💪🏻
@@dimitriskatsoulis4986 I appreciate you bro 😎 🤝✌️ I tell ya 🙂 This God sent CZcamsr taught me better than 5 days in Motorcycling school ! The trainer at school kinda lowered my self esteem by telling me: you made the wrong decision by starting with a litter bike, and he also advised me not to hop on the freeway until 6 months into riding ! But guess what I already rode it to Portland, Maine from Ohio (my home state) even passing by NYC and riding there ! I call it the grace of god of course but I have been driving in big cities for long long time so Riding this Powerful but friendly 2019 Honda CB1000R that I bought brand new which comes with rider aids (traction control, Engine brake & Linked ABS system) made me more confident than starting from a smaller engine.
@@forthcoming-d8694 if you are careful then it's fine, I agree. The power is in your wrist not the engine after all hehe! And I believe you made the right choice because I also starting riding one year ago and bought me a 125cc for a first bike that I was used to and actually bored within the first month. Then I bought a 250 which lasted 2 months and now a honda cb500x which in turn seems slow and boring now to me after 4 months as well...so buying and selling back and forth made me lose a lot of money and if I knew this I would probably buy a more powerful motorcycle from the start like you! Ride safe man🏍😎
@@dimitriskatsoulis4986 “the power is in your wrist not the engine” is worth a Nobel prize ! Sincerely could not be made simpler and more genius 😇👌 peace and good life to you buddy ✌️
Simple to understand harder to execute for most. very well explained. "Lean for the shortest amount of time"(I thought leaning longer is cool my bad). Keep these examples vids coming.In most developing asian countries the schools are just average don't know much at all. This is a great education. Cheers 🥂
Glad it was helpful!
This guy will keep you out of the trees. Dont sleep on his vids.
Thank you so much for your content Greg!! I'm a begginer and I'm learning a lot with you, thanks!!! 😊
these vids are great... im trying to apply them to dirt... i understand its a different animal, but cornering is cornering... only the surface behaves differently
Some things are the same, many things aren’t. Take dirt bike schools.
You were right! Loved this video!! The use of that photo was brilliant!! Put it into real world, horizontal perspective! Amazing as always. 😁
When do you put your weight on the counterside, and when do you lean in with your upper body? Is there like a minimum speed you need to have before you lean in?
Sometimes when i ride the mountainroads and there are those 180° turns I don't really know if I have to lean in or counter lean.
Is there maybe a video to that? Thank you!
FortNine has a good explanation on this: czcams.com/video/U1mSavQ_DXs/video.html&ab_channel=FortNine
You can lean at about any speed. If you are sub-20mph I'd probably be putting weight on the outside peg. I think probably making sure you are providing good smooth throttle inputs, staying light on the bars, and keeping your eyes in the right direction will help you out most there.
I loved the way you explain by walking mimicking the ride! Thank you! 🌸
Omg.. that orange squid is the cutest thing! 😅 thanks for your videos. Really helps for someone brand new like myself.
Your backyard demonstration was eye opening, for real for real.
Man you do a great job at explaining things & I appreciate ya! Thanks!!
Glad to help
I know you try to ride more on the track, that is great! But please always reflect on street riding too
Totally agree, I've been doing this for over fifty years, maybe that's why I'm still walking around on this planet!
Always good stuff ! I find one of my bikes a lot easier going down-hill in the twisties, it only has one front-disk and drum (W650) but feels more controlled. The other is a Yam TR1 981cc V-twin, twin-disk ,drum-rear . I think it's a 'weight-thing' , but maybe I'm riding them differently (one faster ). I will take 'notes' when the weather picks-up . Dave NZ
👍🏼👍🏼
I'm only part squid. Feeling gravity on a lean is fun that's why. But for safety and efficiency making it a V turn is definitely better.
Now this is a good cornering video ! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Very detailed video. My only question is.. the rider that cares about mid corner speed and comes out at 60-7mph.. what makes you so sure that rider is exiting at that speed? What if he’s pinning it out of corners?
'Your intended path of travel is way more specific and will account for all things".
Locked that one away ...
This makes perfect sense. You just retained my brain with some useful knowledge, thanks.
Im the same way. On the street I wanted to lean more and more. Then I think of my wife and kids getting the call I got hit by semi after I dumped the bike in a corner. It really puts things in perspective.
You are an exceptional teacher, I wish everyone has your skills.
Very good video…the keys point covered..and I always thought look where you want to go is quite vague…attended Champ school twice...
LOOK TOWARDS YOUR INTENDED PATH OF TRAVEL….❤❤❤
I love this quote!
Very good video…put excellent context on what’s important to cornering… attended Champ school 2x.. excellent…keep up the good work in helping to educate and improve our sport
I love this explanation. I knew I had a braking problem and this just makes sense and I will def work on it! Thanks !
Hi. Im fairly new rider ( 6 months with my unrestricted licence inthe UK) - 2 years on a 120cc bike which was fine, but post full licence, I'm riding a 995cc Triumph Tiger. I love it but one thing I am really not confident about is cornering. The Tiger is top heavy - to the point where even the usual tricks I seen you in your videos won't work if I drop it - and I do a lot of country riding so if no one is around to help me pick it up if I drop it, I SOL. That makes me nervous cornering. I dont care about going super fast around corners, I just need confidence taking tight turns at mid to low speed and knowing I wont drop it. I've watched you throw around the Beamer but I cant build myself up to attempting leaning the bike over that much. Especially since the bike naturally wants to be upside down. I could throw my 125cc bike around and hav e confidence in counter leaning to do that, but this bike I dont. I guess I'm not looking for advice, you've certainly covered this in other videos, but I can't bring my self to push that hard incase it goes tits up. And, in a country that is plaged with narrow streets and tiny roundabouts, its a real deficiency in my riding - not having confidence to take tight slow speed turns without pretty much crawling and staying upright.
I hear you. Maybe sign up to an advanced course to help raise your confidence and preform the maneuver in a safe and controlled environment.
CZcams search "Robert Simmons - paying it forward". He's an ex New York police officer that teaches low speed maneuvers on heavy motorcycles. I gained a huge amount of confidence applying what I learned on his channel.
@@DR4WZ I'm on my way!
Thanks guys!
@@luxorcephrenSE23 There is one about a mile from my house so I'm defintely gonna check it out. I feel conffiedent in al other aspects of my riding except that and so any advice and experience I'm open to
thanks a lot you made me confident and brave inside logic🙏🏻
Brilliant video I do believe even at my age that I've just had a good lesson.
Lots of good tips. Thanks
And
CHAMPU is excellent & great price for what you get.
These are advanced skills great for track riding. But fast in fast out with trail braking on the street maybe not the best idea with unfamiliar roads or conditions (surface debris) can change.
This helped me a lot
Thank you very much for this video
Glad it helped
Motojitsu, your a master to watch and your online tuition is wonderful. Could I convince you to move to Australia ? You'd make a great living training new and more experienced riders here. Cheers mate 👍👍
It's just like driving a semi you back off going into the corner then use your power to pull you through it same principle if you hit the corner to fast and brake while going into it you are on your side in the rhubarb
First time someone has been able to eplain where the hell i should be looking. I always found the "look where you wanna go" to be super vague
Honestly its similar to gran truisms games wher you have to use the intended path of travel to hit corners at high speeds. The same outside inside concept they teach you at MSF /CHMS
Realistic video games, riding a bicycle, skateboarding, to an extent roller blading (because the last two you need to scan your path ahead, when your skating one pebble can throw you off and as kids when you skate board the most nobody has road friendly wheels.)
you do an excellent job, I enjoy sitting at your lectures, you care - THANK YOU
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το βίντεο σου!
Is it only me or do ALL the good driving instructors out there share the same characteristic: A friend shaped face.
Good info. Was taught the same thing back in the 70's.
It's all in the freaking braking, I've myself came to that conclusion also,but i don't know how i can i work on it ,given that i ride on gravel roads,if i push it too much i might end up below the road.i have mastered mid corner speed but it doesn't mean shit if i start breaking to early into the turn.
