    I thought after 48 years of riding I knew what I was doing.I have been practicing this maneuver every night after work with my new Africa Twin.Its not as easy as you make it look but I am getting a lot better. It has become fun and challenging. Thank You.I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks LOL.Thanks for posting.

    Just want to say I love your stuff and enjoy learning things I didn’t do well in my 20s (now 60). I practice the throttled clutch release slide, 2nd half of the turn, on my near dirt driveway with my non DCT Africa Twin every time I take it out!

  • @oscarbear7498
    @oscarbear7498 Před 2 lety +1

    riding a motorcycle looks so easy, then actually doing it you realize how hard it really it.
    its not just strength, it's commitment, quick thinking, understanding terrain, agility to shift weight fast, and doing things in the right oder

  • @norbertjakab1639
    @norbertjakab1639 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I am learning this and i figured out its way easier to stay in vertical control of the bike by pushing your body weight on the brake side foot peg, if you you put your body weight on the pivoting leg there is a bigger chance the bike will slide away from you.. No one mentions this in these how to videos. Hope it helps, keep practising.

      Lean the bike more at full lock (creating thus a smaller patch for traction) and try again. Otherwise you need to rev a bit more.
