Master the friction zone | What's the secret?
You practice all the slow riding techniques...Head and eyes looking where you want to go, Friction zone, little throttle, little pressure on the rear brake, but you are still not smooth enough.
Here we show you how to Master The Friction Zone, Including one technique police motor officers learn in the first week in motor school.
Enjoy and go out and try it, your Friction zone riding will become much more smoother.
Tanks for watching.
Becoming a more safer and smoother rider doesn't happen by accident. Practice just once a week even if you only have a 5 - 10 minutes.
Try this technique, and you WILL notice an improvement your skills.
I'm not saying Never use your brakes....By all means use them if you must...Just slightly less pressure.
👍
so true! Just 5-10 minutes practice makes a difference. Been riding since 2014 but never practiced slow speed stuff and always struggled until watching technique videos. Simple stuff like turning my head and eyes and the friction zone mastery helps so much with slow speed stuff. Kinda feels like learning how to ride all over again, keeping it exciting :). Great video and tips
@@FCT8306onTwoWheels Yeah we try to get in at least two practices a week, even if its only 5-10 each. And you are not alone, we all struggled with the slow stuff, but once you get...man riding is sooo much fun. thanks for watching and commenting.
I appreciate it!
Do Offer A Class Or A Book On Your Skills? I Have New Touring Bike But Can’t Ride It..
@@famoustjackson2010 Hey Famoust I'm just seeing your comment. We have training sessions on Sunday mornings, however because of the Pandemic, we canceled our schedule. However we were still having smaller sessions, but it is also on hold for the summer, until our return from our trip. We are expected to return in November.
Again I apologize for the late reply.
U have an easy listening voice to follow. No stress just practice.
Thanks Kona, I appreciate that.
Just got my first Street bike, can't get enough of these videos/parking lot practice
Congratulations Don, thanks for watching, we have a "Slow Pro Skills" Playlist. Check it out and your riding will improve fast. Again Congrats!
@@BootsandJeansRiders I sure will thank you so much for reaching out to me
That was by far the best demonstration I've seen. I've been riding for over 3 decades and I'm still learning.
Btw, this is the first time your channel has been recommended to me. Subbed and notified. Thanks, from Blighty.
Wow, Snoddy thanks for the compliment and the sub.Welcome to our channel we really appreciate it.
Definitely!! I agree 💯!
Thanks man this definitely helped🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
Love your energy man! I wish you were my uncle or something, I have no riders in the family. This was really helpful!
I appreciate that! Glad that the video was helpful.
Thanks for watching and commenting, from your new uncle Rich. lol
Check Robert Simmons also. Recall when life saving information was free , CPR! boots ,Jeans and Rob Simmons are a Gift .
I learned a lot from this video. You were thorough in your explanation and demonstrations. There were no distractions (bad singing), which allowed me to concentrate on your instruction. Thank you very much.
Awesome, thank you! Love "There were no distractions (bad singing)," I could redo it and sing if you like. lol. Thanks for checking it out.
My respect sir!! You're doing this on a tank! Takes a lot of practice.
Thank you Samuel...Yes lots of practice.
I am in the process of learning feathering (mastering ) the clutch, when you find the sweet spot for the clutch the motorcycle is so smooooth. excellent video thank you/
Yeah once you get it...It is so Smooooooth,. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
This definitely helped me understand the finer aspects of control! I'm new to riding and thank you for your insight 🙂
Glad it was helpful! and you are so welcome.
Welcome to the world of motorcycling.
Man!! You are really cool teacher!!! Thank you for these marvelous videos!!!!
Thank you I really appreciate such a kind comment.
I subscribed because it was the best demonstration on CZcams
WOW! Thanks Canadianloon we appreciate the awesome comment.Welcome to our channel, thanks for subscribing it means the world to us.
Stay safe and well.
You earned it.
You deserve recognition.
Hi Ric, was nice meeting you today at the dealership and share some motorcycle and dive adventures. Stay in touch, Nathan. 2015 gl1800 40th anniversary just like yours. 👍
Hey Nathan...Man, it was a pleasure talking with you. We have a lot in common. We are hitting the road soon but I will keep in touch.
@BootsandJeansRiders
Any comments on going dark side? With all your miles would be interesting to hear.
Returning rider here after 30 years. Great demonstration and explanation of the friction zone. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard Mark we appreciate the sub, and thank you for watching and commenting.
I’m brand new to riding, I’m going to try this and let you know how I do. Thank you!
Awesome . I will be practicing that when the snow is gone. I can manuever fairly at low speed but not as good as you demonstrated. Thank you for the step by step procedures.
Hey, Paul, Let me know how it goes. Hope the snow melts soon.
@Boots and Jeans Riders will do and thanks again Rich
By far the simplest explanation of the friction zone. Not taking away from others but the removing the foot from the brake sold for me. GREAT JOB
Man I really appreciate that.
You are good sir!!! Amazing riding,,when I took my riding course I was terrible but with practice comes a lot better.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Morocco, North East Africa.
Your are so very welcome. Greeting from California!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
Thank you guys for demonstrating how to properly operate the friction I watched seven other videos and ALL of them was Boo-boo a waste of time you guys are doing a good job thank you
WOW! Thanks for that wonderful compliment. We really appreciate that.
Helpful, thank you. New rider, struggling a bit with tight u turns, just need to practice clutch control more. I don’t think I ever used my rear break yet, will continue practicing without it then go to it and see which is best for me.
You can do it! Time and patience is the key. Also, practice the slow race as demonstrated in the following video. czcams.com/video/Ol3a7qcqUO8/video.html
Excellent video! I remember when I took the M.S.C. our instructor touched on the friction zone, explaining the clutch to throttle ratio. I use the latter of the technics, let me explain...I'm a shorter rider with a big bike Harley Road Glide Special, so being able to maneuver, in tight areas is a must. thats where mastering the friction zone comes in handy.
P.S. I fact checked myself last night, 10 pm practicing the "zone" U turns and circles! thanx again for the videos Rich n Kake, Keep up the good work....#BootsandJeans
Hey Dave Appreciate the insightful comment. Fact checking is always good, Most think that if they get something right one time it should be enough. However motorcycle are a different monster. I always said "getting it right once is luck, 2 - 10 times is gaining experience, 10 or more times without mistakes...that's skills".
Keep it up my brother and continue to fact check yourself.
Roll safe.
Excellent instruction and presentation. Well done.
Thank you kindly Fred, I really appreciate that.
That last bit about getting as high as you can on the bike and becoming one with it really resonates after my recent ride to Burning Man.
Yeah Luke...It makes it easier to maneuver. How was Burning Man
Thank you! Wish I had you as a instructor. Patient and kind an. Brilliant instructors and information. Look at you, out here saving lives!
Much love
Thank for the complement I really appreciate it.
Great info, thanks you very much. I just bought a Triumph Bonneville T120 & use to ride all the time. I’ve never even payed attention to the friction zone or even turn where are you look. I just did it all by instinct and the feel of the bike and engine . I’m getting great info and technical tips, from your channel. Keep up the good work , I really appreciate it.
Congrats on your new bike, may you enjoy many many miles and years together. I appreciate you watching and glad that you are getting great info. It means the world to me.
Have a great day and ride safe.
This man really has mastered the friction zone! Thanks guys.
Thank you I really appreciate that. I still practice every chance I get.
New to the channel
New rider here, dropped the MSF supplied bike 2x during the 2nd day u-turn drills. I struggled with it all morning. In the afternoon, when it came time for the test, I nailed it and I don’t really know how. I have an idea how but don’t know for sure. I think I rolled on the throttle a little before I started my u-turn so I had the power when I needed it. I never tried using the rear break, I’m looking forward to practicing this. I bought some flat cones so I can practice but I’m so afraid of dropping my bike, which is a heck of o lot bigger and heavier (cruiser) than the MSF supplied Yamaha 250, and the bike is flat out gorgeous. I’m thinking about getting a practice bike until I know what I’m doing before I practice on my baby. Thanks for putting these videos out there for ppl like me who can draw on experienced riders.
Welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycles. Congrats on passing the course. Yes, u-turns are what most people struggle with, even some “experienced “ riders. So just continue to practice your slow maneuvers and you’ll see improvement over time. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Our course is forcing us to use the rear brake and feather it instead of using the hand brake. Course bike is a 250. My bike is a 693 but with eco mode to make it way less power. I’m struggling super hard on my first day with the friction zone and them not letting us use the hand brake for the most of it. Hoping these videos help. I almost quit half way through today. I’ve been riding mine no issues on country roads and in town. Idk why it’s so much harder on a small bike.
Great demonstration, thanks for sharing. It will be a new learning experience when you move to a DCT later i think. But I have confidence you will master it too!
Yeah Gregory definitely a new learning experience...I had a chance to ride one this year. I made circles but not tight as I would like. Soon as I get one, its to the parking lot I will go.
Just came across your video, I watched a police instructor before, I have to say, your video was more informative than all the others. Great job with the lesson .very helpful.
Thank you!!
Thank you Craig I really appreciate that.
Thanks for the help... I needed it
My Pleasure Grey...I'm happy that it was helpful.
Ride safe.
And thank you for your service sir.
Your welcome, and a big thanks to you for watching.
Thank you,Sir....great help🇨🇦
Happy to help…thanks for watching
I have done so much training. Your explanation I really needed. Thanks
Glad it was helpful Diane...It is always a continuous learning process.
And welcome aboard, We appreciate it.
You made a good point about doing the U turn without the brake. I always find myself relying on the rear brake during the turn which makes the bike want to stand up so I have to add clutch and throttle to make it through. I’m going to try your way next time thanks for taking the time to make this New Subscriber. Ride safe.
You're exactly correct...Too much brake stands the bike up and the slower you go it wants to tip over.
Hard braking also makes it more jerky. Little presure braking or no brakes will make the turns much smoother.
When you start, use a large 30'+ U-turn without brakes then bring it in to the 24' as you get comfortable.
Thanks for subscribing we really appreciate your support.
Thanks Y'all!!! I practice on my GSXR at least twice a week in my neighborhood. Great video.
Hey Renae...Twice a week is excellent, Most people we know don't practice twice a year.
Your are way ahead of the average rider.
Keep it up.
Thanks for watching.
I never knew the average street was 24 feet. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for watching...Yeah, 24 feet for the average side street, from line to line. The lanes are 12', not counting the shoulders. With the shoulders, the width varies.
@@BootsandJeansRiders Love the info, thank you! Dig the vibe and content of your channel.
I appreciate that.
Are you a former Motor Officer? You are a very good instructor Richard. You also have a very smooth speaking voice in you vids. Have a great week.
Thank you Greg,
No Sir not a former motor officer, but did attend a full motor officer school. And do have a instructor background.
Thanks for watching.
@@BootsandJeansRiders I got to take Motor Officer training back in 1973 too. It was kinda intimidating but I was also a very confident (cocky? 🤣) 22 year old then. I need to be less cocky and do more practicing now though. Ride safe my friend.👍🏻👊🏻😎
Good lesson. I'll give it a try
Thanks Dale...Go for it and let me know how you did.
Telling you, here in Sweden it's not really allowed - more than just occasionally - to use the rear brake at the creep zig-zag test. To get the rider's licence. I haven't understood why, since the RB supplies stability, but this was a wake-up call for me. One must control every situation behind the handlebar.
Well it's seems easier to get a MC license in the US than any other country. So I'm sure your skills are higher than the majority here. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments.
Well done my friend ! So very important that folks ( especially those who larger bikes)master this technique ! Makes low speed maneuvering so much easier.
Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it.
Yes mastering it makes the slow speed riding much easier. Some thought I was saying not to use the rear brakes. I just was shoeing what can be done by using just the friction zone to control the speed. You get it...obviously you are a good rider.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you so very much, Straight to the point that’s what I like thank you again
Thanks for watching Wesley. I'm glad you liked it.
Just found your channel today! Thanks & great job! New subscriber
Welcome abroad Randy and thanks for the sub!. We really appreciate the compliment.
Wild on2 sent me! Subbed!
Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the channel. Wild is doing great things for the biker community.
Video is appreciated. Thank you
You are welcome H. Wayne, I'm just passing on information. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video, I'm about to start riding for the first time, looking up all the techniques I can to help me properly control the bike. Definitely one of the better videos on this.
Thanks Michael...I'm glad it helps. And welcome to the world of motorcycles, Just take your time, go slow and be consistent. with practicing.
Nice demonstration.
Thank you Sooooo much. I really appreciate it.
Love it Boss!
Please keep it up!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
That was just fantastic! Thank you.
Thank you Bob...I appreciate the compliment.
Thanks for watching.
Shame your not in the UK mate, i would love to have you as a teacher. I'm a new rider so tips like this is really helpful. Thank you :)
Hey Ginger I'm glad it was helpful. I wish we could make it there. Your riding requirement are more strict then here, so I'm sure you will be just fine.
We just say practice as much as possible and you will develop muscle memory quickly.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I do motorcycle has only been riding for months I saw you on Robert Simmons Channel
Welcome to the channel Nelsongn9. You can't go wrong watching Robert Simmons, he is a great guy and rider. I would highly recommend taking a session with him.
Great instructions
Glad you think so! Thank you OSU999
Great video, sir! Just started riding a vintage geared Vespa only today. Am still a bit nervous, so this video is absolutely just what I need. Thank you from Ireland
Hey from Ireland!!!
Glad it is helpful Royal...Welcome to the world of 2 wheels. Just take is slow and you will be okay. Be sure to checkout our Advance Slow Riding & Skills Enhancement play list.
Rode the police bike, Road King, for 11 years but now want a Goldwing. I've ridden a few Goldwings and tried to do the u-turns but I haven't figured out foot position to avoid my foot from making contact with the ground in the turns. Excellent video! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Charles.
Yeah I know what you mean...Because the GW don't have floorboards most of us ride with our toes passed the pegs and forget to reposition during U-turns. Making out feet touch the ground before the pegs touch. However that all changes with a little practice.
Happy New Year
Thanks for watching.
Great video thank you sir !!!
You are very welcome Nubian...I'm glad you liked it.
Well until I get another bike my friction zone is going to be the moment just before I piss off my wife. lol Great video guy's. Have a safe new year and a blessed 2020.
Well Paul123, I'd rather that you don't get in the friction zone.
Hope you get another bike soon.
Happy New Year.
LOL!!!
lol I have to disagree with Boots and Jeans Riders on this one.. go ahead and get in THAT friction zone.. and after the initial friction she'll love riding with you.. and then *she'll* enter the friction zone wanting her own.. ;)
Excellent Excellent Video. Great Explanation and Example.
Glad to hear that Pistol Pete...I really appreciate it.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, will start practicing with my 2020 goldwing. 👍
You can do it! Hey Ted, do you have the DCT? If so how are you enjoying it?
Hey Rich, solid content on here! Great meeting you up at grizzly peak today. I appreciate the support and motivation. Hope y’all had a good ride home. #LegacyTalk
Hey it was great meeting you also. Man the sunset was nice we really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the stickers also, We will be watching you and wish you much success.
Ride and stay safe.
Very good information and example, I will use this technique as soon as the days begin to get warmer. Again thank you for the information.
Hey Faheem, Thanks for watching.
Definitely give it a try. You'll find with just a little practice, you will get much smoother riding in the friction zone without the breaks. Then using the breaks (only as needed) will enhance the friction zone.
Thanks for commenting.
Good to see another Brother. Duck walk is not Crip walk! More skills more Fun
What up Blaq...Exactly, "More skills more FUN!"
Thanks for watching and commenting Brother.
Hey. New rider, those tips will help - still stalling when stopping, I don't have my friction zone acumen just yet.
Hey Valentin Cheval welcome to the world of motorcycling, and welcome to our channel. Don't worry, we've all been there, you will have it down in no time. Just get in a parking lot and practice as much as you can. And take it slow.
Thanks for checking us out, we really appreciate it.
Thank you Sir. I'm new to riding the big bikes and what you just showed me is great
Great to hear that Peter! Glad that this was helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you, I have a 2018 Road King . I have watched a lot of videos this one is one of the best thank you again!
You're welcome Jose! Thanks for watching and the kind words.
We appreciate it.
Thank You So Much!
You're welcome Tyree. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Thanks
I did a moto course and failed it miserably and they sent me home, I couldn't get the clutch and shifting down pat but I would have if I had tons of practice but I never had any practice whatsoever. I Felt like a fool in front of everyone because they had lot's of practice and I never had any practice whatsoever. But I know I learned a few things like balancing the bike and NOT once did I ever drop the bike and that was my very first time ever on a bike so I guess it wasn't a total loss.
Don't worry? many of us have been in that situation. We know ppl who were in their 60s and the first time on a bike was the basic riding course. It's the love for the ride that you have that will pay off in the long run.
@@BootsandJeansRiders Thank you for the encouraging words. I appreciate it. I know I will get it eventually. I keep telling my wife I got it in my head but I just have to get it into my hands and feet. I am NOT giving up and as I also keep telling people-I want to be a biker, I will be a biker. I told the instructors there that it's not the speed for me but the ride.
@@BootsandJeansRiders Yeah, My experience with that course I failed was a terrible nightmare. I felt intimidated, discouraged, rushed and out of place. I thought that course was a training course to learn how to ride a motorcycle but actually that course was nothing but a SKILLS TESTING COURSE. Their title was misleading and definitely NOT a training course for people who know nothing about riding a motorcycle. There were 3 of us in the course and I was paired with experienced riders and those other 2 knew exactly how to handle a motorcycle and I didn't. To top it all off, to make matters worse to add to my discouragement one of the instructors that was arrogant and very cocky in my opinion-The arrogant and cocky instructor said for me to take my Harley back to the dealership and ask for my money back-Talk about destroying a persons confidence. That instructor in my opinion was very unprofessional and had no right to say that to me. There were two instructors there and one of them was a very nice guy but the other one not so much. I paid a lot of money to learn to ride a motorcycle and all I got was a very stressful day and a waste of money.
I agree. Ive been riding off and on all my life. But the last say 2 years Ive been street riding more seriously. Learning to be seen etc. But I noticed the need to drag the brake thing didn't apply to me usually because I can control that strictly with the clutch. For many riders that might not be the same though. I spent countless hours on dirt bikes and dual sport bikes over the years and probably mastered those skills as a result of controlling crashes in ruts n stuff. I mean by that preventing crashes with skilled riding. But even now I find clutch control, controlled braking and throttle control to be the 3 things that make it where that bike is under MY command! On a personal note I would say this. I'm very thankful that I spent many years on bikes out of traffic learning skills. I would highly recommend new riders spend the first year or even 2 on dirt out of traffic learning the control stuff. Ive seen new riders hurt. Ive seen 1st and 2nd year riders killed in traffic. I honestly think the safest way to get through the first year or 2 is off road and out of traffic situations. But that's me...
Thanks Jeff...You definitely have an advantage on many riders. I tell riders to always control the slow speed with the rear brake until they master the friction zone. Then not much rear braking is needed, (if any) just great clutch control.
I wish I would have started on a dirt track bike with no traffic around.
Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
You made it look so smooth and so easy, great job for both of you. One question: What gear are you in when you are doing those U turns?
Hey Ken thanks for the compliment. I usually ride in 2nd gear. I can do the turns in first but sometimes first gear is too jerky..
Thanks for checking us out we really appreciate it.
Boots and Jeans Riders , thanks for your reply. have another question for you. I reviewed your friction zone video again. What number on the clutch dial do you set it on? I think I see #1, can’t be for sure. I am having problem to stay in the friction zone, hand gets tire and releases the clutch.
Great stuff!!! You oughtta be a Rider Coach!!! #GOARMBEATNAVY
Hey Toby Thanks. I'm not home long enough to be a coach. We developed and teach our own slow skill course. We canceled it this year because we left for our Bikecation sooner than usual. I just wanted to share knowledge from my motor officer experience. So we developed a one day course. GO Navy, Beat Army.
Thank you for this! I hop into parking lots like behind a Kohls or something all the time and do a few practice circles, u-turns, turning from a stop, and panic braking for a few minutes but I always drag that rear brake or cover it at least. I'll have to try this with just throttle and clutch once that f*cking snow melts
Hey Pat...Yeah give it a try. I still cover and use the rear brake also especially when the turns are tight.
This was to show that it can be done without the brake if we have good throttle control and a good graph of using the friction zone. After the F*cking snow melts...Let me know how it going.
Thanks
Very clear video Sir! Thanks fir sharing
You are welcome...We appreciate it very much.
Thanks for a great video, with good information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You make it look so easy!
Give it a try Jason...It will get easier with practice.
@@BootsandJeansRiders I'm on my street glide today, hopefully I can practice this soon! Great video!
Great Jason, let us know how your practice goes.
i love it bro!
Thank you Issan. I really appreciate it.
I have to say first that I became familiar with this concept when I took the moto class a few years back and I've since viewed it again twice, maybe three times from another instructor. But the info is always good to freshen up on. Good that you took this up and post the results on line. Thanks, much! BTW, I can't help to notice your lady closely resembles someone on my former job. Does she have any sisters working in a public service job? Take care . . .
Hi Slimdude, thanks for watching and commenting, good to know you took the class, keep on practicing.
Yes I Kake have a relative in public service.
@@BootsandJeansRiders
Is she from Cali, by any chance?
Well done! Love your demonstrations!
Thanks so much Donna, but you two are true masters, the best we've seen.

Glad you liked it and you are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you sir. Great advice
You are very welcome Eliazer...Much appreciate it.
Interesting. I was taught to do all kinds of slow speed maneuvers by two motor cops and those guys stressed the use of the brake with the friction zone. I’ll have to try this technique. I’m used to turning the bike in slightly less than 24 feet though. I learned on the width of two parking spaces. I just don’t see how I can do that without the rear brake but I’m going to try it. Thanks for the tip
Hey Leadfooty Thanks for watching.
And your instructors are correct...Remember what is being done here isn't for people that is just learning to use the friction zone. I'm sure you will be able to do this with no problem. Not all police schools are alike, this is what was taught the first week of motor school here in Oakland Ca. It was implemented for those the were using too much braking and could couldn't complete the basic turns. As the school continues, only then the rear brake was reintroduced and the riders became more proficient. And of course I wouldn't recommend holding out the leg.(it was for the video) On 18' turns I use my rear brake also but only use very light pressure.
Great skills and great speaking voice. Nice, informative video. Be safe!
Thanks Luvneeders, I appreciate the kind words.
Some thinks we are saying never use rear brakes. We made this to show all you need is very little pressure on the brakes. Friction zine is the key to it all
Glad you liked it.
That's some great bike control.
Thanks Jaie, It just takes practice, not a lot, we just are consistent than most.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tip. I will be practicing more.
Excellent! We still try to get in at least one practice session a week.

Out side of this virus, how soon does your riding season usually starts?
Thanks for watching.
@@BootsandJeansRiders Well this morning we woke up to snow. Maybe quick ride here and there in March / April. Once the the road are swept and we have had a couple of good rains to wash the roads of sand and salt then we can start. We mostly wait until May, better weather and road conditions. In the mean time we'll enjoy watching our friends like you on CZcams, cheers Dave

Good video
Thanks we appreciate you watching and commenting.
Stay safe.
Hey just a couple points the Goldwing has linked brake system which means the front and back apply when you hit the rear brake. And also I'd be extremely careful using the front brake only if you're turning and not on Solid Ground.
Hey Pat thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Yes, I am aware of the linked braking system on the wing. Although it may be engaged, it isn't a major factor when riding at slow speeds. And that's a good point about using the front brake only while turning. And as you stated, especially if you're not on solid ground. Thanks!
This demo was to show that you can control your slow speed u-turns without any braking, only using the friction zone. No front brakes were used at any point during the turns.
Thank you!
Thank you! I am working on mastering the friction zone.
Thanks for watching...I''m sure you will be teaching it in no time.
