Just last week did the same thing with some others.
Agreed 100% thanks so much👍🏻
Can you please do a tutorial on how to pick up your motorcycle if you drop it for us new riders please?>
I had to call a tow because i could not pick it up myself and gas was leaking from the tank all over!~
@@rizzay1 I already have a vide on how to pick up any motorcycle.
Thank you for these videos. Your a good teacher, it shows you care about other riders! Can't believe you leaned that bike that far over...scary to little ol me.
An important note, always practice with someone else’s bike
Yeah, that makes sense.
Not my bike! I'd send a venmo/ paypal request/ evil crow until that "friend" paid me back!!
😂
I would not trust myself, especially with bigger bikes. It could damage trust if you drop it
@@MotoJitsu hehehe lol 😆
There is real genius in thinking about things that most people would never consider. Thanks to the young lady for be willing to try something new in front of strangers......that takes some guts.
😁👌🏼
My anxiety level is off the roof watching this video 😂
lol!
Right?! I ride a Yamaha Strattoliner XV1900 weghing in at almost 900 lbs. and with a long wheelbase. I was sweating bullets just watching.
I'm having a hard time breathing every thime she kicks the kickstand down and doesn't tripple check. 🙈
I'm gonna completely cover my bike in bubble wrap before attempting this lol! Good stuff as always man.
I would LOVE to see a picture of that lol
I would totally advice you to get a pair of sliders not just for this but for general safety of you bike in case it tip over.
@@GatsuRage that's the first thing I recommend anyone getting for their bike.
MotoJitsu it’s a good peace of mind!
weenermeat where did u get ur name?
Great exercise. Also a great demonstration of “shitting a brick”. Good job Monica.
Yet, again, another great video that highlights VERY important skills we need to develop as motorcycle riders, both on and off the bike. Once we understand the simple physics, it becomes much easier to master ourselves. As you quoted in one of your videos, "...it's not the bike, it is you." Thank you for sharing your skills in such a wonderful way.
welcome :)
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
The greatest bike pushing tutorial I have watched. Thanks!
thanks!
AGREE
Good Job Monika! One would never think this would be so mind challenging. It surely tested my confidence and with heavier bikes like ours - this is a really great thing to practice. Always a interesting time on the practice lot. :)
:) yes!
Monica was so brave and vulnerable. I admire her (and I think that's why she's so awesome!).
Fast Eddie (Greg) is terrific for countless reasons, especially because he is very naturally eloquent (by that I mean that he is excellent at describing PRECICELY what we need to hear, when we need to hear it....(don't be distracted by non-words such as "expecially"..... my kinda guy). Man, I just discovered that Eddie/Greg is in San Diego! I have been riding since 1972, my Dad/teacher raced Motocross in the 60s and was a Mechanic at Honda of Ann Arbor, and I currently ride a 515 lb 1997 VFR 750F sport-touring bike (THE most dependable high-revving engine ever made by Mankind; many documented examples with well over 200k miles), I have ridden well over 100,000 miles on two wheels, and I am about to contact Eddie to arrange for a lesson. He is SO much more accomplished and articulate than I am regarding motorcycling skills.
❤️👍🏼
not fair man! your BMW probably weighs 30% less than that Harley! hahahaha
Yeah, it's the bike. 🤦🏻♂️
Now she's regretting having a heavy bike man!!🤣✌
doubt it
Seen a number of 5foot nothings handle GS's with ease...
Actually the harley is 10% heavier than the BMW and... It's only a question of good practice. You should see people with scooter.. They don't know how to park it and it's way lighter than any bike.
in Slovenia, you have to push the bike forward and around cones, before you even get to sit on it and ride it - it's the first part of the riding test. It's so that they (and you) can see, that you can handle the bike. if not, you fail.
great tips, especially for going backwards. and the 2 finger balancing, gonna try as soon as I get to my bike!
The same in the Netherlands
Similar in the UK, and I believe that the instructors bike that you do it on has to be over a certain weight.
Imaš izpit ali te to še čaka?
@@rokverbic8857 že 2 leti...
Same in France. You have to push it forward, then turn at a right angle between 2 cones that are 1m apart, then, without putting it in the kickstand, do the same thing in reverse... and you are not allowed to turn the handle bar the "other way", but you can go forward again to turn at a "better moment" if you need to (if it's right turn, you can't manoeuvre by turning the handle bar left)
This is simple and utterly practical information. I love this! Truly one-of-kind Greg. Thanks!
Thanks
This was not covered at all when I did my beginner class. You eventually figure it out naturally but really smart to teach it. Kudos!
It’s not taught in any class.
There's another way of moving even a heavy bike when you are negotiating tight corners and narrow paths and doorways that I've seen regularly used at my local dealer in the UK.
Their technique is to push the bars from the front keeping the bike nicely balanced of course and steering as required to turn. When I first saw this it looked impressive and seemed difficult to master but the BMW sales staff use this technique throughout the day even on heavy GS/RT/K1600 machines. It has the advantage of keeping a narrow profile, looking where you are going and avoiding tripping over customers.
This is for the more experienced and needs practise but is fast and clearly works!
Practice is key
It's amazing how helpful the little "walking around the motorcycle" exercise is for building confidence in the bike.
I learned something in the 1st 30 seconds of this video! Excellent!!!
Sweet!
The very first tip of leaving it in first gear with the clutch disengaged while pushing is so logical. One of those "I should have known that" things that make these instructions so valuable.
:) All depends...sometimes I put it in neutral too but I recommend practicing both.
What an awesome, tutorial, man... You are a fantastic teacher and it was really useful to see you teaching somebody and them emulating you. Your tutorials really have been invaluble . Love your teaching style and the way you explain everything . Hope you get 100k subs soon :)
thanks!
You’ve done it again. Simple rules for bike ownership, I always envy how my 120 lbs Mechanic pushes my Gs all over the workshop without breaking a sweat. I’m always like slow & extremely careful. You always talk about the elephant in the room 👍🏼 thanks a million sir
Thanks
This is why you should go on courses or ask a seasoned veteran.
Another great tutorial!
Thanks
Confidence is one thing and it’ll only take you so far. Physical strength and age factors in too.
I remember how badass I felt the first time I held my ninja up with my left hand on the tail and slid the rear stand in and levered it up all without another person's help.
:)
Great video! I think this is one of the many little things people don't practice as it doesn't really "feel" like a learned skill. Yet... I've seen riders ask for assistance in pushing their bikes into a parking spot or just to turn around... on flat ground! This is definitely something that should be practiced. Kudos to you!
Thanks
I NEEDED THIS
Go and push her around!! :)
Hello again Fast Eddie. I just want to say thank you to the passion you bring. You seem genuinely interested in helping people and not just making money. Not only do you spend a bunch of time making your videos and drawing those awesome graphics, (please don’t switch to computer graphics) but you take the time to respond to your commenters. Thanks so much for what you do and I hope to meet you in person one day.
Thanks if I was solely interested in making money I would “use” both my masters degrees in a professional setting.
That Harley looks a bit heavy for the chic but still fair play to her for doing it on film good job tho anything that builds confidence is a good thing 👍.
Go practice.
This is exactly what I needed to watch. I got a new bike that I need to build confidence with. For some reason I am so worried about pushing it around. I would hate to drop it doing something so “simple.”
Appreciate your videos so much.
A video I'd love to see would be on bump starting. I've only ever done it on hills before, because I have no idea how to navigate pushing it and then jumping on. So basically I'm screwed if I lose my battery power somewhere without a hill.
Maybe
I've seen the racers do it but they have to jump on the seat at the same time to keep the rear wheel from locking when they dump the clutch.
The bigger issue is why did you lose power in the first place, another issue with the bike?
@@ianm432 That is for most of them, some racers don't have a starter on their bike for 'weight savings' and are push-started or a rolling road in pits... hence the need for the bump-start on track, slight differences with Carb v EFI. Carb is same as a kick-starter, can be from dead... Some EFI bikes need to have some power for the electronics before it will work though, eg. enough to light up but not enough to start.
@@ianm432 its not to stop the wheel locking its to cause more grip between the wheel and the road
Put your bike into 2nd gear.....
Run with the bike whilst holding the clutch....
Pick up enough speed then get on the bike straddling the seat.....
Let the clutch go as you bounce your ass on the seat and she should fire up
Got to admire your student pushing a bike that's 50kgs heavier than yours! I find my S1R far easier to handle than my 883 Iron was too!
Need to be good on the bike you have.
I loved that push tutorial! Amazing! I have so much trouble pushing my motorcycle around.
thanks, go practice!
A tip I learned when I was training people, start them off doing it with a small bike , (125) then a slightly larger bike (250/350) then a 500 then a 750, then a 1000. This way the trainees feels the differences in how motorcycles behave when weight is a factor. I realised not everybody has the strength to handle pushing, wheeling, manhandling larger bikes. If you have progressed slowly up the cc's and weight categories in your riding life you appreciate the skills and nuances of handling a non running dead weight balanced motorcycle. Your right in saying if the person has bought a bike that there's no way in hell they have the strength to move when it's not running then yes they've bought a bike that's TOO BIG for them and it's time to rethink. There is a knack and you and I know as seasoned riders what that is but new riders have never even thought of how am I going to manhandle this bike in a parking lot or in my garage or anywhere else it might be a tight spot or slightly inclined.
Like you say bud patience, practice and practice. But always remember some new riders have limits on ability. 👍😉
I have never seen anyone done this before. Great job! Something I never really considered.
:) thanks
6:18 okay.... that was impressive
another great video, as always very informative. I keep learning new things all the time by watching your channel, thanks man!
Thanks
Excellent lesson. True tests of confidence. I've been riding for 40 years. Not learning, but love watching a solid teacher.
thanks and get into high-level courses :)
You sir is a great teacher! Thank you for sharing!
I appreciate that!
Very useful... It's 2 months I have my first bike, it's a (for me!) Very heavy UM renegade commando, I'm already quite confident riding but moving it to getting into my fairly small garage it's quite a nightmare... I droped it 2 times already, no scratches thank God but I can be so lucky... great video, thank you!
Can tell you've done this quite a lot. Good to practice what you preach.
Thanks
Dude, this was great to watch. I generally push my bike out of my garage using your two hand method one on left handlebar one on rear rack (Africa Twin adv sport). I have never tried to back it up that way back *into* the garage...only ever "walked" it back while always on it. I'll work on some of these exercises in the coming weeks! That tight turn you did was frickin' intense! I don't think I'd trust myself with that yet.
Thanks! Go practice!
I stumbled upon this video, WOW..... wish I had this training 30 years ago.
Me too!
I think I surprised the crap out of my husband on Sunday. Practicing turns and dropped my bike. Turned it off, flipped the kickstand down and lifted her up onto her stand. Didn’t get a wow, got a I’ve never seen someone lift a bike from the opposite side. She’s a 5 HUNDRED POUND Superlow 883 Sportster. I didn’t have to turn around, she came right up. 😅
i was cringing the whole time waiting for the drop
Nope
Was going to post the same comment.
I kinda held my breath when he was doing the kickstand drop thing hahaha
Just used the backup technique with my MTS950 for my grocery run, so much smoother than the shuffling I was doing before! Smooth and fast. Thank you.
Nice!
Great freakin tips!! Thanks!
You're welcome!
I wish there are people like you teach those things here in the Philippines.
that's why I make videos :)
Thanks for making a video on this. The best video on it on CZcams!
You're welcome!
But practice it scary! I think willing yourself to have confidence and not be timid is important too. If you are going to attempt it, have the confidence you can do it and plow through it.. Thanks MJ. Great stuff. I was just out tonight practicing swerves and stops because of your vids! Be a better rider.
Thanks!
Thanks for the good video and job well done Monica!
You're welcome!
Nice video on an essential skill that's not often talked about.
One thing I like to do after letting the bike back down onto its kickstand is to release the clutch and push it forward a bit against the gear resistance to ensure it won't roll forward and fall.
Thanks
Interesting ideas. Things we don’t typically think about doing with our bike. 🍻👍
:)
this was good bike brain food. i'm a suit and tie guy. but after awhile I learned little things that made me more comfortable with my bike. from taking off the plastics to battery, coolant, oil, fuse, and spark plug changes. getting comfortable with your bike teaches you a new language. thanks for this.
😁👌🏼
Fantastic video Bro!!.
- Basic, but very necessary. Nice
🌟👌😎
Thanks
i gotta say ....it hasn't arrivd yet i'm literally waiting and watching this, and i feel better already.
going from an yamaha r6 to a kawasaki vulcan mean street 1600.
this was awesome.
:)
first time I did this one handed walk around... it was hilarious.
:)
Good training to get more comfortable. I got a VROD. Found out it's not easy to back up on my gravel driveway! Thanks, I'll be watching more.
thanks!
I didn't know that i can be soo intimate with my motorcyle ...haahah..
Awesome video , Thanks!
lol
thanks
Walking around the bike exercise is great.
I’m going to practice that.
Another is to lean your bike on your hip when you push it around. This helps keep the bike leaned towards you. That way if it leaves your hip you can pull it back in before it leans too far away from you. I’ve seen many people drop their bike then it leans away from them too far.
Sure is!
Great video, never too old to learn new tricks that's for sure :)
Go practice!
You just used the perfect motorcycle as an example, because that’s exactly my bike and having problem pushing it inside my garage. So I bought a jack with wheels, so I could rotate it easily. 😄 I’m gonna practice what you just showed in the video. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
nervous just watching lol, Thanks for the info
You’re welcome
Not all bikes because some of them have weak kickstands but you can actually lean it on the kickstand and rotate it all the way around on a dime to turn it around. I do this with my Kawasaki in my skinny driveway so I don't have to fight with it up a hill.
I literally just commented this right before you went into that kickstand section..
That Sportster weighs about 650 pounds. I bet she wishes she brought the YZ250F instead!!
Doubt it
Pushing backward was worth the price of admission! Brilliant 👍👍👍.
I have spent decades looking like a total dork doing everything you demonstrated...wrong😟.
I’m disappointed you didn’t demonstrate what happens when you push the bike over on the no-kickstand side. 😀
thanks!
What a great video. You are going to be my instructor next year. I dont care what I have to do to sign up for your classes. I really dont think there is a better instructor.
Thanks :)
Lady, whoever you are, you are showing some bravery! These exercises make my stomach cringe even after many years of practice :)
Super useful. Your videos are great supplementary education and what I need (as well as more courses) as a beginner rider. Much appreciated!
No problem! Read books, take courses, practice :)
RED FLAG! That bike is too heavy for that young lady.
Nope, just new to pushing it around.
@@MotoJitsu Not trying to be cruel, but she would have way more fun on a SR400 or maybe one of Harley's new smaller bikes. If people could keep their egos in check, they would find you don't need a whole lot of bike to enjoy riding. imho
You're assuming a whole lot of things you don't know...I don't care what bike people have, I just teach them how to get better on it and not judge them on their choice. I give my advice on size bike I think people should get but people will do what they want.
@@MotoJitsu
My 750 NightHawk was 3x as agile and a lot punchier than my cb900 which was solid on the highway at 93mph cruising speed.
I'd downgrade from what I THINK I need to something 50-75% smaller.
Looking at 550 now.
3:40her mini heart attack lol
it's what learning looks like.
I did not know that you can lean the bike that much by pushing it
yup
So glad I bumped into this video, the tips are everything
Very helpful, just today got into a parking downhill with no motorcycle access. Had to turn over and push uphill in 1st gear pressing clutch
Gonna deffo practice this. 5'2" with 600 bandit i do the shuffle at the mo . weather improving at the weekend will be going thro this then for sure.
GREAT TIPS!!! I CAN INDEED PUSH MY BIKE BY MYSELF! I OWN A LOVELY 2017 HONDA CBR300R! IM GOING TO TRY SOME OF THESE BIKE BONDING EXERCISES! THANKS FOR SHARING!
thanks
Greg and ? Monica?
Great team video. Especially good for confidnce building apart from technique. Thanks. Need more, Chief!
Took a lot of mental notes and finally practiced this. I was able to move my Iron around the way you moved your BMW. Thank you for making such informational videos. Never thought I could walk a bike in such a small circle.
You're welcome! Yes, just lean that thing over! :)
I get to practice this every time I pull my bike out of the garage and then put it back up. Good stuff.
nice!
Thanks for the video, never been on a bike, really want to go ahead and work towards getting a license but this is the number 1 thing putting me off. I guess I’m not going to know unless I just go for it! I feel like I have the confidence to give it a go now 👍🏻
You Eddy set the bar very high and in the right place - you are the benchmark in training, advice, guidance and tips. Great short video on this topic - Thank you Eddy
Thanks!!
Great video and valuable tips. So obvious thing but never thought of doing this to understand my bike weight and control better. Practise this will also help me trusting my bike more as I will understand better that the bike is quite balanced especially with slow riding. Great to have someone with you learning the techniques. Thanks 😎
Thanks!
The same thing with people parking their bikes on gentle slopes, seen some leave it out of gear and a little breeze overcome the pressure on the kickstand making it fall/roll away.
6:17 wow!! As a new rider that was incredible to watch!
:)
nice job Monica.thats a tank of a bike to be hossn around.point made,its less about brute strength and more about technique:)
😁👌🏼
Such a basic bike handling video but so very useful, Thankyou.
You’re welcome
The amount of confidence I’ll now have when I feel stuck … this is such a must. Bonding with your bike doesn’t require you to be on it. 👌🏼
get to it!
Thanks for this!
Like your lap around the bike... If I ever have to drive an unfamiliar car, I take a few laps around the car to get a sense of its size and where its features (rear bumper, tires, etc) are. This is very helpful!
You're welcome
Very interesting, I usually turn my bike around sitting on the saddle. I'll have to try this to gain that balance confidence. Thanks Eddie.
😁👌🏼you’re welcome
Hi there Moto Jitsu, this will certainly apply to me,I'm very new to my Honda cbr1000 & I'm very uneasy at the moment, with the sheer weight, I "Have" toppled over & the fairing did crack & yes,I was apsolutely gutted,it took me weeks to get over,thank you friend 🙂🙂🙂
Practice time!
DAMN!!! That leaned circle was GODLIKE. Had to pause to comment i thought for sure that BMW was going down on top of you. Subscribed
:) thanks
Yeah can't see me trying that any decade soon lol
The moment my bike leans thst far over, it's past the point of no return lol
@@Plateau_Skull me too
Thanks Fast Eddie!! great to know how to do the little things properly. Some good and fun tips.......
thanks!
Hi MotoJitsu & your friend was apsolutely great ,she was Excellent moving that huge motorbike & that shows,if things are worked in the correct way,the impossible becomes possible, thank Eddie
🙂🙂🙂
😊😊
She’s rocking a Tobacco Motorwear Riding Shirt! A must for all riders. Very cool!
:) Yup
Yet another excellent video! 48 years after I obtained my first bike and you're showing me things I had never considered before. Keep up the fine work and how anyone could vote a thumbs down on this video is baffling to me.
Thanks
Man I love theses videos! The part where you do a lap around the bike with one hand was fun to watch haha looks like a game
Thanks :)
Again very useful video
Thanks mate
You're welcome
you are an amazing instructor!! thank you for sharing i have learned so much from you. i wish i could take courses with you.
Thanks
@@MotoJitsu i just ordered your book.. i have been practicing in the parking lot and have seen improvement on my highway cornering in a short time :)
thanks!
That is one thing that makes me nervous. A month ago I took my Ducati to Reno’s Powersports in KC. I arrived early so I was able to watch the crew bring out the display bikes. They were walking the bikes from the right side with the kickstand down on the left. It seemed to go quickly and smoothly that way. I’m sure that moving 20 or so bikes in 30 minutes helps. I was amazed at the ease.
:)
You constantly provide good advice....thank you.
Thanks
3:35 I gotta admit. I may have screamed a little bit.
lol
Man you make everything look so easy. I have learnt so much in the last week watching your videos. We need you in the UK😄🏍
That’s what happens when you take a lot of courses and practice!
First off, kick ass! I so needed this, I'm a case study in the 'don't do it this way' way of trying to wrestle my 600 lb Suzuki Bandit (heavy and tall) around. Unrelated question: is that Harley a Sportster or a Dyna, I love the aftermarket seat and handlebar arrangement with the mid set pegs it looks like it would be super comfy for my frame and riding style.
Sportster
