    I always recommend this channel to new riders. Especially when they mention that they have problems with curves and U-turns while riding their bike

    You're the only person who explains counter steering so well that I finally understand what it means. Lean the bike to one side but keep your body upright. Don't lean with the bike. I feel happy that I finally understood it. Even after completing my 2 days Learners course and completed my learners permit here in Australia I don't get it until I watch your videos. Having light bulbs moments now it makes sense why swerving and figure 8 is important. More tips and safer riding skills. I recently bought your ride like a pro MP4. Superb. Post more good stuff on CZcams. There always something new for beginners like myself to learn from you.

    I have to credit your videos for a lot of how I ride. I have just bought a new Road Glide and have yet to practice on it. previous bike was a Goldwing and tuning those skills with that bike have made the RG an easy task. I'll take these classes one day. love hearing the floor boards scrape at slow speeds. It's just impressive in my opinion.

    Have learned a boat ton from this guys vids over the years.
    My bike 2016 SGS. I practice.
    Just yesterday had three buds w/ Road Kings come to visit and ride. I led ‘cause I had some nice back country twisties for them.
    Road closed by the po po right at a tight left, off camber, twist.
    Sat for a minute and then gave the ‘we’re turning around’ twirling motion (no coms…hate ‘em).
    Tight two lane, no shoulder road.
    Whipped that u turn from a dead stop LIKE A BOSS.
    Check the mirrors, no buds behind me. Pulled into a driveway, text the buds.
    ‘We can’t make that u turn’.😂
    We met back at my house after they sat at that turn for AN HOUR, waiting.
    They took it in stride. I laughed my ass off.
    My money, they still won’t practice.😢

    I'm out almost every Sunday, and on my way home I usually stop by the parking lot of our commuter rail which doesn't run on the weekend for practicing figure eights. Have made noticeable improvement. FIRST thing I do is consciously NOT lay the fingers of my right hand over the front brake lever (where I normally keep them) to prevent accidentally using that brake for friction control . . . only the rear brake. Busted my foot when I dropped the bike on the right in a S L O W right turn and a quick stop at an intersection a few years back.

    Love the bars you have on that Low Rider, did those require lengthening the cables?

    • @JP-dw1fp
      @JP-dw1fp Před měsícem +1

      Yes, these are Harley's reach bars. They have about 6 inches of pull-back and allow me to sit up straight and not have to lean forward or hyper extend my arms when making tight turns. The clutch and brake cables had to be extended as well as the wires that connect to the handlebars.

    Another great video ! Thank you Moto Man ;-) One quick question , I have a 2014 road king , And I want to get one of those flashing brake light module like the one you have installed on your bikes in your videos where the brake light flashes as you slow down. Maybe you already have a video out there showing it and where to get it ? If you have the time could you please point me in the right direction on where to get one . Thank you Jerry , Love your videos !

  • @johnmichaels6794
    @johnmichaels6794 Před měsícem

    Thanks Jerry (and I bought your book &video). You may want to re-think that new camera (360?)

    • @motorman857
      @motorman857  Před měsícem +2

      The 360 cam allows me to get angles I couldn't get any other way. Generally I use that camera in my review videos so people can see the bikes profile as it looks going down the road. When making tight turns, it's quite difficult to edit but with just my helmet cam, you can't see what I'm actually doing with the bike. Keep in mind too, these youtube videos are free, so...

  • @paulson9616

    Jerry, I am a new owner of a 2016 Electra Glide, Now I have ridden for years, I have never felt like I needed to adjust the handle bars. But my question is. How would I make sure my bars are set correctly? I had someone tell me to drop the stock handle bars and get 10"-12" bars.?

    • @motorman857
      @motorman857  Před měsícem

      If the bars feel comfortable while your riding, don't change them. If you're not comfortable, first try adjusting them forward or backward. You can also get a different seat to bring you closer or farther from the bars. czcams.com/video/0YrUyJkskoc/video.html

    What advice do you have for someone who has trouble taking left-hand curves at highway speeds but no issue taking the same curve the other way above the highway speed?

    • @JP-dw1fp
      @JP-dw1fp Před 29 dny

      More practice to the left. Head and eyes is the key. When people get a little nervous, they tend to NOT look towards the end of the curve and start looking where they are at rather than where they are going.

    • @andrewlufi7659
      @andrewlufi7659 Před 29 dny

      ​@JP-dw1fp going slow, that works, but at 45 mph or faster I get "spooked", but I can accelerate in the curve.

    Motoman is great. I don't like those goofy cameras. Technology is surpassing common sense.

    • @motorman857
      @motorman857  Před měsícem +1

      Hiring a camera crew for youtube videos costs way too much money. The only way to show the angles is the 360 camera.

    • @classicrider103
      @classicrider103 Před měsícem +2

      I hate it that you're lacking in common sense . I like my camera's on my bike. Me and the Riders behind me like to review the footage to see what we can do to improve our riding. Also if someone causes an accident you have proof if it's their fault. Does that make any sense to you?😄
