    On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
    A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

    Since everyone writes this, it's necessary, I suppose 🤷, so here we go. Disclaimer: Ride at your own risk, you are responsible for your own safety. Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

    I use the cowboy mount but always mount from the left side. I learned at a young age that horses are trained to be mounted from the left and treat my iron horse with the same respect. I don't know how the manufacturer trained my bike so why risk it.

      That's the easy part, the dismounting is the key :D getting on and off during stop on traffic light on a commute, you would be so exhausted, there are at least 67 stop signal lights on my way to work,,, best to have a bike that fits you..............

    the cowboy mount isnt as easy as it looks. i kept falling 🤣 perhaps its my technique. but practice is key.
    also, you make the duke look like a bicycle !

    • @usernamemykel

    it depends what side of the road you ride,here in the uk riding on the left mounting from the right would be a bad idea as you would be closer to the traffic,

  • @chriscorkas
    @chriscorkas Год назад +10

    Hi Andrey, great channel with top contents. Thank you!
    Another reason to mount from the right side is when your bike is standing close to the road with traffic so you don’t need to invade the lane

    The cowboy mount is the standard mount I use when riding my bicycles (I have several) but I'm not confident enough to try it on my motorcycle... just the thought of the cost of having to have any damage from a drop repaired freaks me out.

    • @jridenour31
      @jridenour31 Год назад +2

      If you can do it on a bicycle, you're not going to drop a motorcycle. If anything, it would be more difficult on a bicycle because your foot isn't in one permanent location, it's changing positions as you pedal.

    Just one thing to consider .when you leave your bike out in public the steering is locked to the left.normally mounting from left the first thing I do is unlock steering .this allows the steering to be turned to the right to make it easier to lift and straiten heavy bike

    I'm not sure why the first is called "newbie." If I see somebody do that, I definitely don't think "noob." I'm used to throwing my right leg over and putting my foot directly on the kickstarter so getting on from the right feels weird. You're also less likely to drop the bike if you let the kickstand hold the bike up instead of trying to balance it while you're getting on. I'm 6'1" and don't need to use the pegs as a step. The "cowboy" is fun on occasion but not very practical. I typically sit on my bike with it idling in neutral while I'm putting on the rest of my gear. I'm never off to the side of my bike running in 1st with the clutch pulled.
