Thanks. I am new to riding. I'm always watching your videos. Riding in the city yesterday: I automatically looked for the straightest path going into turns... 👍
When a person truly understands something, they are able to explain it simply... it is so very obvious that you sir, fully understand what you are explaining. I notice this in all your videos. Thank you for another great video!!! "....I don't edit, I write and forget it,..."
A bit unrelated but I think your videos without edits fit well for the lecture format. Makes it feel either like an actual lecture or conversation. These days info is even more spoonfed to viewers so it's nice to slow down but still get the important points over.
it took me one single track day ridding at the edge of my then full skills to understand that my lines where nonexistent even after riding "aggressively" for a few years, "why don't you pick lines?" "slow down or you gonna crash" "lines, take care of yourself" those where the organizers words after that full throttle laps of mine, only then i did realized that even if didn't feel at serious risk going that fast, for more experienced people watching from the outside i was looking as if i was about to crash, so i did understand, my riding might suck and i can't see it, do i really understand entry? apex? exit?...then i decided to watch more videos, to see and see till i could understand why i was scold that day...and that brought me to your by then relatively new channel, and since then you got my subscription and full attention. Just wanted to tale a tale, sorry ^^' . This video reminded me of those times when i was trying to really understand line selection, that might be the reason, mmm, i think is time for me to show some appreciation dammit, i'm getting that program book V2, is just waiting for my next cart load on Amazon, it will be cool to have a bunch of your videos on paper for those parkinglot sessions. Thanks for the content :)
Yes. Typically you will hear the same information repeated in different ways from instructors. MotoJitsu, however manages to bring NEW tidbits all the time, because HE is always learning himself! @@seanmoore4653
Great video! Just started the Champ U online course. They just spoke about this. Game changer for cornering. Delayed apexes on the street are a must for unfamiliar roads and blind corners. You've taught me so much and I'm like a sponge now trying to learn everything I can. I've been riding over 30 years and back in the day all we had was books or articles in Cycle World explaining technique. These video's are so much better and you can just watch for hours, then take your bike out in the morning and practice, practice, practice. Took me 30 years but I can do your black belt drill with ease now. Thank you so much for all you do for us.
Fabulous advice! Starting turns early was the bane of my existence when I got back into riding after a 15 year hiatus. Now i wait till the road begins to turn and my apex is so much farther ahead. Good stuff.
The fact you don't edit is one of the reasons I like your videos. It's like I'm sitting there in the garage/classroom with you. Now if I could only raise my hand and ask questions in real time!
You are doing a huge social service with your videos. Not only 100% practical but also filled with information...even your gestures and facial expression helps tremendously to clarify and to hone in the point. It's sad that you are too far away from Atlanta for me to join your training program Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
The bad line selection example with the magnets was... Enlightening. For a moment I could picture myself flying off a cliff. I never really related the line selection with possibly going wide, but makes total sense. Thank you very much for the lecture!
This video is legit. Helped immensely. My thought process came to the understanding of apexes and cornering on it's own, but to VISUALLY see it broken down like this was even better.
I was a new rider at 50, now Im 55 and really struggle with corners, I watch alot of friends who seen to just glide round corners but I just dont seem to get the corners and jab at the brakes as you've explained, your explanation seems to make alot of sense so Im going to be try theses move, Many thx
Certainly a tendency I have. I try to correct my line on every ride. Getting better. Turn point advice, where road begins to curve is something new for me. Like I said before, I always pick up some sort of nuance watching your videos. Thanks for ur insights Greg.
"Start turning where the road begins to curve" - thats simple enough to memorize and recall even when not in your chair watching videos but when outside riding. Thanks!
✌😊✌3.05 at near green marker one needs to skid 2-3 inch on rear to still stay along mountsin side, but skill level for that is unhealthy, thakur amar jano it be's ✌😊✌
✌😊✌Right to left still possible, but i doubt left to right corner, jaye hauk ekhon ducati agey asuk and ekta pulser, cornering ta first grasp i mean adopted koree✌😊✌
So glad I came across Greg's videos, he has a great way of explaining things and it's enjoyable listening to him. Clear and concise and no waffling! If my school teachers were like him I would have understood a lot more back in the day. 👏👏👏
@@MotoJitsu I have been away from bike's for the best part of 10 years. My last bike was a Triumph Daytona 955, although I enjoyed going out for a run it was a tiring experience. My wife bought me a Kawasaki Z750R last week for my 40th birthday (early present, birthday in October) but I was a bit nervous of going out on it straight away. I've watched a lot of your videos on low speed cornering and counter steering as this is what was worrying me. Well I'm glad I watched your videos, went out last night and practiced what you were teaching in your videos and everything just clicked into place. I started with low speed in a car park and then went out for 30 mins on the road, the experience was the best I've had on a bike. I'm not sure if it's the different riding style of the bike and learning from your videos but I'm no longer scared of turning as I understand how the bike will react. Thanks from Scotland.
That was helpful, thanks. Something I can test out when the traffic is not too heavy. Looks like I'm cornering prematurely out of fear of running wide which, ironically, increases the probability of me running wide.
Dude!!!! I am SOOOOO happy I found your channel and I have been watching your videos. Yes, I used to make those mistakes, sometimes I still do, but!!! When I make the mistake, I have the tools to correct it, learn, and hopefully next time not make the mistake, which is starting to be more and more frequent... Drag the brakes 'till you can "see" the exit of the corner
Superb instruction One-take Fast Eddie! Lives being saved while riding pleasure optimized one excellent Motojitsu video at a time. Sincere thanks Greg! Congrats on the views!
Thank you so much for the video. I learned so much. As a new rider, I was sort of traumatized seeing my friend had an accident at a corner few days ago.
Best explanation I've seen of this. I'm still new to riding but practice regularly (especially my braaaaaaakes) and I'll add this to my "something to work on" in future rides. Thanks for putting this together.
Love the bit about trying to keep a straight line thru the bend,,your demo,s make conplete sence,,not long passed my cbt but on the parking lots practising when i can,,but when i go hit the ride around the bloke,allways feel so much more confident and knowledgable,,got loads to learn but your videos are a must for any rider👍😀
Early apexes take your safety margin away. Later apexes give you more visibility and safety on the street. If you go on the track, early apexes will slow you down. Good video, MotoJ.
I have no clue what your background of work is, but you are a gifted educator/communicator. I've watched numerous videos of yours and I love how humble you are.. even discussing mistakes you have made and what you have learned. I've never rode before and just bought my first bike at 54 years old. Part of me thinks I might be crazy to do this at my age and I have some degree of fear, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just trying to soak up as much experience from others as I can. Besides taking a riding class, if you had to list the most important thing a new rider should do with zero experience, what would you say that is? Thank you for your videos, Sir.
Very well said and shown. Makes it easy to visualize. Wish id seen thesevtyors of videos when i started riding twisty's 12 years ago. I still love watching different instrucional videos, sometimes it will still help me understand things ive learned, practice, do or experience. Good stuff and your saving lives with your content. Thanks.
Man this is excellent advice and the way you explain it, it makes perfect sense and actually this advice has given me a lot of confidence where cornering is concerned, also knowing that I’m approaching corners the right way is confidence inducing. Thanks a lot man! You’ve probably saved a lot of riders from crashing over the years and no doubt saved more than a few lives and that’s pretty cool if you ask me.
Great video! Lots of advantages to entering later. Better geometry, more time to decide on entering speed, and better visibility in addition to what you mentioned in the vid.
You should teach Max Wrist about line selection. After watching his videos (on RUclips) and how many crashes he is involved in or witnesses... every crash could have been avoided by better line selection. Cutting in too early, leaning the bike more than necessary (as a result), and applying throttle at full lean in the corner. You know your stuff!!
Great stuff! I am not a experienced rider but have experience with other fast stuff. The faster you go the faster shit happens if it's going to happen. I have learned a lot from tour videos and glad to see that my thinking is in the right direction. If I can't scan I just slow down period. You are better off wasting a minute in you'r life than your life in a minute! Thanks and keep up the great work! 👊👍🤙
Great video! Love the use of the magnets to visualize the concept. One thing I'll add is that rather than turn-in once the road starts to bend, I prefer to stay to the outside until I can see the exit. This is particularly useful for those decreasing radius turns because you'll stay on the outside of the lane a lot longer since you naturally can't see the exit for a lot longer. Use your vision to determine when to apex and you'll never run wide. Only apex when you SEE the exit!
Thank you for this video @fasteddie I’ve watched a lot of your vids But got new info today I really appreciate it Now I know to initiate my turn A little later …don’t care if you don’t edit your vids low tech / high info and thank you for your 11 years of service in the Marines God bless you brother!
Late or delayed apex is such a terrific and simple concept to grasp, but sometimes so hard to actually put to use. But I’m trying. Thanks for the great videos!
Turning in early usually causes running wide upon exit. If the limit point is moving closer to you, your going to fast for the bend, if it is moving away from you, you're slow for the corner. If it is staying static, to you, then you're at the correct speed for that bend.
Well presented. This scenario is compounded by nervous riders wanting to get off the brakes too early. One would think nervous /novice Rd users would brake longer... Its the opposite.
Really great video. No editing moment shows how well prepared and confident you are with the topic. Thanks. PS Very often, late turn is related to faster speed and changes of a crash with non experienced rider (and with the experienced sometimes 😀)
I learned about lines years ago as a turnworker at Sears Point for AFM motorcycle racing. Riders had very specific habits on a race track and knowing the natural tendencies helped with communication at race central. I ran race central once and I remember several times asking the corner communicator where the incident was (exit turn 7, etc.) and it made me nuts when they couldn't tell me. My thought last time I rode twisties was "I should be working on..." then find one thing on your channel I can focus on for next time.
8:28 that's what I do -- just hang out on the outside to maximize visibility on unfamiliar blind curves, with plenty of time/speed buffer to turn in when the corner exit is visible.
Please... Can you please make a video on what kind of gears are essential and also .. what kind of protection we should put on the motorcycle as well in order to avoid considerable damage during an accident
I love your videos.. Quick tip from an audio guy. . Run your mic up the inside of your shirt and use black insulation tape if it doesnt have a clip :) Thats my tiny thanks for the wealth of information you have given me lol
Got the book but I always gain more by hearing you explain the process that are within the book great job... Senior at Apex a while back we talked about the gloves you had ..😎👍🏍️
Hey FE, Thanks for the reminder why I watch your videos! I have been focusing solely on line selection over the past few weeks so this is very timely :-) (Also need to re-read my Total Control book). Thanks!
I, for one, can highly recommend Total Control as a good read or reference (for the rest of us). I'd been hearing about Lee Parks' book for a while, and then when I was in the hospital recovering from a snake bite, my wife bought this book for me as something she thought I might enjoy reading. She was certainly right! I read through it and used some of the techniques mentioned in the book. Really well written, and certainly worth the price for those learning to ride, or even those who want to ride better.
Thanks a lot for the variation with the "more than 90° corner". I still don't feel confident in those but that video might have helped (will try it on the weekend)
Thanks. Would be nice if you let us know how to start practicing a later turn. I have been ridding for many years and still get nervous approaching curves.
I became afraid to turn on gravel transitioning from street bike to dual-sport. One thing that helped is practicing U turns in 2nd gear. In your case choose a smooth parking lot. First, start slow and determine how fast you can comfortably U turn in your available space with enough extra space so you can safely swing wide at point should you need to. Top speed of 20 mph is enough. On each turn focus on the feel of the bike in the turn and increase speed or turn sharpness A LITTLE so you are only A LITTLE afraid. Baby steps will get you where you need to go. In fact, repetitions just at your limit of comfort may be enough to make the desired progress. During the practice session pay attention to how much space you need to U turn to refine your judgement on what a sharp turn looks like. As you get more comfortable with sharper turns at higher speed, practice braking during the last half of the U turn. The first iterations add rear brake pressure slowly, feel the weight shift to the front wheel, hold that pressure and complete the turn to a stop. The next iterations start to sharpen the turn as your speed slows. The next iterations add front brake SLOWLY and AFTER you feel the weight shifting to the front wheel. With the front brake you can slow more quickly, and over many iterations increase braking pressure slowly to moderate pressure, front and rear. The next iterations increase to moderate braking pressure AND sharpen the turn. Bonus points: Now practice rear brake skids TO A STOP. ALWAYS ride rear brake skids TO A STOP. First do it in a straight line, accelerate to 20 MPH, add rear brake slowly until you feel weight shift to the front wheel, and a second or two before you come to a stop, press hard and hold down the rear brake to skid until you stop. Repeat until you can easily maintain control. Over many iterations gradually increase the speed at which you lock up the rear brake. Then, during the skid, try a SLIGHT turn, just enough so the skid isn't perfectly straight. Eventually get comfortable making a rear brake skidding turn to a stop. Then practice U turns with rear braking during the last half coming to a rear brake skidding stop. Now if you ever see that you are going to run wide on a curve you will be able to slow down while maintaining control and the turn, even if you lock up the rear wheel. You will either make the turn, come to a stop, or in the worst case run wide at the lowest possible speed. My guess is that if you practice all that your issues with turns will be gone. The fact is, with good tires and smooth, dry pavement your motorcycle should have no problems cornering at the posted/recommended speed limit. I typically just maintain the posted speed limit and ride either the tire track on the outside of the curve or the center of the lane, depending upon surface condition and how much I'm trusting oncoming traffic. Bonus points: Repeat all this practice on rough pavement or gravel. Good luck. Have fun.

PS Very often, late turn is related to faster speed and changes of a crash with non experienced rider (and with the experienced sometimes 😀)
Thanks 😊
Simple and effective. Thank you bro
Your videos have taught me an insane amount of helpful info! Thank you so much!
I learned about lines years ago as a turnworker at Sears Point for AFM motorcycle racing. Riders had very specific habits on a race track and knowing the natural tendencies helped with communication at race central. I ran race central once and I remember several times asking the corner communicator where the incident was (exit turn 7, etc.) and it made me nuts when they couldn't tell me. My thought last time I rode twisties was "I should be working on..." then find one thing on your channel I can focus on for next time.
:)
Awesome explanation. I’m pretty sure we’ve all done it “wrong” many times.
❤️👍🏼
8:28 that's what I do -- just hang out on the outside to maximize visibility on unfamiliar blind curves, with plenty of time/speed buffer to turn in when the corner exit is visible.
One of the best videos on cornering! 👌
Glad you think so!♥️👍🏼
I used to not like you, it all changed with the years and now I actually like your style and videos :) cheers
😂
While you are drawing I am digesting the information so no need to fast fwd👍
:)
Can't be more thankful for this tip!! :)
Happy to help!
Started practicing this in my car so I'll have the mental part down when I finally get a bike.
Many thanks again for another life saving tip!!
you're welcome!
You save lives brother. Thank you!
This is good shit!! More videos on cornering. I definitely turn in early! Will keep an eye out for this next time I’m out and about.
Please... Can you please make a video on what kind of gears are essential and also .. what kind of protection we should put on the motorcycle as well in order to avoid considerable damage during an accident
I have videos about that....always protect the bike, that's number 1 thing to do.
Another awesome vid, really helped solidify what you told me about line selection from our cornering sesh! Thank you🙌
thanks
I love your videos.. Quick tip from an audio guy. . Run your mic up the inside of your shirt and use black insulation tape if it doesnt have a clip :) Thats my tiny thanks for the wealth of information you have given me lol
Such valuable information. Thanks so much.
Got the book but I always gain more by hearing you explain the process that are within the book great job... Senior at Apex a while back we talked about the gloves you had ..😎👍🏍️
:)
This is amazing advice and seems like such common sense when shown and explained like this 👏 👍
Hey FE, Thanks for the reminder why I watch your videos! I have been focusing solely on line selection over the past few weeks so this is very timely :-) (Also need to re-read my Total Control book). Thanks!
❤️👍🏼
These videos are just awesome, Greg you have a great way about you to get the message across.
thanks!
thank you for your excellent instruction
You are welcome!
Thanks for the pointers. I will use it.
Pun pun pun ❤ I love the unedited thing. Seems natural.
Great video, man. I need to find a place nearby to practice this, in a safe way.
thanks!
I have the same problem. I live in Chicago and all of the parking lots. Hell the streets are trash. I have to ride a slight distance to get practice
I, for one, can highly recommend Total Control as a good read or reference (for the rest of us). I'd been hearing about Lee Parks' book for a while, and then when I was in the hospital recovering from a snake bite, my wife bought this book for me as something she thought I might enjoy reading. She was certainly right! I read through it and used some of the techniques mentioned in the book. Really well written, and certainly worth the price for those learning to ride, or even those who want to ride better.
such a good book :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keeping us better and safer
welcome!
Thanks for this Greg, you have good energy here, like around 2 or 3 years ago when I started watching you
welcome!
Pure gold thanks
Thanks a lot for the variation with the "more than 90° corner". I still don't feel confident in those but that video might have helped (will try it on the weekend)
thanks
I loved this explanation and the visual, made it make more sense then someone just talking. Now to put it into practice!! Thank you!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
love your explanation, so easy to understand
thanks
Excellent explanation! Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Would be nice if you let us know how to start practicing a later turn. I have been ridding for many years and still get nervous approaching curves.
I became afraid to turn on gravel transitioning from street bike to dual-sport.
One thing that helped is practicing U turns in 2nd gear. In your case choose a smooth parking lot. First, start slow and determine how fast you can comfortably U turn in your available space with enough extra space so you can safely swing wide at point should you need to. Top speed of 20 mph is enough. On each turn focus on the feel of the bike in the turn and increase speed or turn sharpness A LITTLE so you are only A LITTLE afraid. Baby steps will get you where you need to go. In fact, repetitions just at your limit of comfort may be enough to make the desired progress. During the practice session pay attention to how much space you need to U turn to refine your judgement on what a sharp turn looks like.
As you get more comfortable with sharper turns at higher speed, practice braking during the last half of the U turn. The first iterations add rear brake pressure slowly, feel the weight shift to the front wheel, hold that pressure and complete the turn to a stop. The next iterations start to sharpen the turn as your speed slows. The next iterations add front brake SLOWLY and AFTER you feel the weight shifting to the front wheel. With the front brake you can slow more quickly, and over many iterations increase braking pressure slowly to moderate pressure, front and rear. The next iterations increase to moderate braking pressure AND sharpen the turn.
Bonus points: Now practice rear brake skids TO A STOP. ALWAYS ride rear brake skids TO A STOP. First do it in a straight line, accelerate to 20 MPH, add rear brake slowly until you feel weight shift to the front wheel, and a second or two before you come to a stop, press hard and hold down the rear brake to skid until you stop. Repeat until you can easily maintain control. Over many iterations gradually increase the speed at which you lock up the rear brake. Then, during the skid, try a SLIGHT turn, just enough so the skid isn't perfectly straight. Eventually get comfortable making a rear brake skidding turn to a stop. Then practice U turns with rear braking during the last half coming to a rear brake skidding stop.
Now if you ever see that you are going to run wide on a curve you will be able to slow down while maintaining control and the turn, even if you lock up the rear wheel. You will either make the turn, come to a stop, or in the worst case run wide at the lowest possible speed.
My guess is that if you practice all that your issues with turns will be gone. The fact is, with good tires and smooth, dry pavement your motorcycle should have no problems cornering at the posted/recommended speed limit. I typically just maintain the posted speed limit and ride either the tire track on the outside of the curve or the center of the lane, depending upon surface condition and how much I'm trusting oncoming traffic.
Bonus points: Repeat all this practice on rough pavement or gravel.
Good luck. Have fun.
Ahhhh this was very helpful. New rider, and now, new sub. Thanks.
Thanks for this video, really explains things well!
Just ordered that book since it’s one I don’t have and should have… $17 bucks on eBay free shipping 👍 can’t beat that
👍🏼
Just learned something new! Thank you so much for the vid!
