It’s largely due to your videos and (virtual) mentorship over the last 2 years that I feel very confident on my new (F800GT) bike. I still have a few hours of parking lot practice to get where I want to be with it but I no longer class myself as a beginner and you really helped me get there mate. For any beginner wanting to improve your skill and confidence this is the man. Best wishes from Melbourne Australia 👍🏼
@@gravyau no bullshit, brother, it’s people like you that make this matter for me. That’s very generous of you to take the time and make that comment for me and it really does make an impact. Thank you. And if we ever we get to connect at some point in the future, an ice cold beer is on me, my friend.👍
@@Vavaski-bugleb you can’t imagine how cool it feels to have motorcycle riders from other parts of the world reach out to tell you they gained benefit from the silly little techniques that float around in your brain. Truly makes all of this so much more meaningful and rewarding. Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate it.👍
Quinn. I rode the authority course at BMW in September. They gave me a 1300 and I found it very difficult to turn the bars at slow speeds. Taking a lot of energy manning the bars became exhausting and threw me off balance in the saddle. Why do you think? My s1000XR has the opposite problem. When riding at slow speeds the bars turn with too much freedom and it’s imperative that i concentrate on the clutch to maintain directional control. Comments please
If done properly (not too high RPM) the clutch will last a long time. That said, it IS working the clutch more than without the technique, but think of this like we would your brakes- Does dragging the rear brake (or trail braking) wear your pads? Sure, more than NO application of the brakes, but if you don't lay on them too hard or drag them until they get red hot, they will last a long time. More importantly, changing brake pads, clutch packs, tires- not a huge deal these days...All wearable items designed to be replaced.
@ not generally, but that’s not to say he doesn’t have a good idea or a valid point. Historically, I’ve hammered on my motorcycles for hours at a time, usually the rest is more for me than my motorcycle ha ha. Back back with the earlier oil cooled BMW models if it was extremely hot out, the Motors would tend to get pretty hot and so we would take them down the highway to put some air on the heads, but that wasn’t really a clutch issue.
It's exactly the same when driving a car. You can only go slow and under control if you use a combination of clutch and accelerator. It's not rocket science
Good teachings & tips ☺️👍 Cheers from Bundaberg Australia 🇦🇺🕺🍹

@ I’ll look forward to that Quinn 🍻
Great drills. Thanks. I use the rear brake as a crutch. I have to work on that 😐
Thank you for this clear explanation of your work,in these 3 valuable lessons.
See you in the spring 🙏
Much respect for a master that shares his knowledge with us 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Man I wish the civ rts have top loading saddles. That is so much more convenient.

I'm Jealous , Me tiptoeing on every stop.
@@sonics747 1 weekend and you will have this worked out👍
Does any of this damage your clutch plates/"burn" the clutch?

@PoliceMotorTraining thanks, great video 👍
@@PoliceMotorTrainingwhen training do you rest your clutch? Motorman suggests 10-15m practice and 10m either parked up or normal riding.
