This is always good advice. Riders can't hear these tips often enough. I've said before, I really don't ride as hard as some, but these technics are relevant to every rider. I trail brake in any corner that even remotely warrants it. I want it to be second nature. And looking through corners is something you can practice even when in a car. Again, it just becomes second nature. Something you always do without having to really think about it. Thanks for keeping us on our toes.
Great advice. I've been actively working on my cornering and consciously applying the techniques you've outlined by riding around the Dandenong Ranges. Who would have guessed that practice leads to improvements!
Well said, practice is key doesn’t matter how long you’ve been riding. I ride a bagger and trail braking is the way to go into corners. I’ve seen a lot of riders not trail brake and they always tend to drift to the center line in deeper corners. All your tips work together in concert to safely negotiate corners and make for a really fun ride. Love the content ride safe
I once made a comment on your channel when I first started watching you. I regret the sentiments I made in my response. I didn't appreciate Briish humor at the time. I have grown to love your channel and the relationship you have with your son. I must admit to being rather jealous of the latter. Anyhow, love and respect from Florida. Ride safe!
Great advise . More confidence is the key . As a long time rider I can say you are the limit for your bike . The bike can do a lot more then the average rider can . Practice, practice,practice. Don't be afraid to grind the floor boards.
To make it simpler, just push on the side you want to turn. Push right go right, push left go left. It gets confusing when people say pull left to go right, even though it is the same thing.
Oh my gosh... I thought this was Sunday morning video... It's easy to lose track of days of the week after retirement.. 😎👍 Big thumbs up for the algorithm... hahaha!!!
I had the trail braking concept the other way around. I’ve done it since I started to ride 30 years ago and was introduced to the “gently slow down before the corner” technique a couple of years ago by my mechanic coz I was complaining about buying front tires and brake pads too often 😂. It didn’t help an awful lot though.
I just completed my 3 day drivers course at a local west michigan Harley dealer ( hot rod), found it ironic that one of the exam questions and items stressed by the instructors was 'target fixation."
I was taught at saftey course to look to the part of the road ahead where u will be in a matter of seconds maybe 2-300 feet ahead. Never fixate on the guard rail.
I had a real bad episode of target fixation for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Ended up cuddling my Harley on the way down after hitting some road debris. Luckily, myself and the bike are still in good shape. These past couple of weeks I’ve worked hard when riding to train my way out of it.
Motorcycling is a perishable skill. If you use these techniques and put alot of practice and riding into them than you'll feel it when it works. And it's a great feeling.
Yes, he has discussed it. So had Kevin Baxter. Things mentioned in his comment section where alarming. Blockhead skirt around it, too fearful of repercussions . Harley's approach was to widen the tolerance from 3 thou to 12 thou runout. My 114 is now at 10 and the vibration is insane.
@@gd7389 Thanks for the feedback GD & sorry to hear yours is running out badly. I wonder if your crank is beginning to 'scissor'? I hope H-D can fix that under warranty for you.
What you didn’t mention is if you’re on a ride, the quickest way to unmake friends is to roar past people on straights, then slow them down through the corners. That used to grind my gears massively! If someone’s up your arse through the corners let them go, you’re holding them up!
Someone was explaining exsesory insurance and it being separate from full insurance because regular full coverage only covers 2k of exsesory damage or theft. So you have to get accessory insurance cus they will be as much as the bike
Scared because there is no clearance. If you relax and lean just a little too far you will put the metal floor boards into the ground and that causes people to react badly. Put that same speed, same corner, but on a bike with more lean clearance, the rider would just lean more and be just fine.
The fear is because of inexperience!! They do all their riding on freeways and getting that bigger bike on the twisties can be intimidating and they go at the wrong speed or at a bad angle!! It has to get the point you don't even think about, because you're in trouble if you're going into the turn confused!
Harley riders spend all their money to look cool not advanced riding lessons, Yes Harley’s are touring/cruising bikes. A tip, learn your bikes capabilities, breaking and leaning etc, and push them little by little, second tip is good tires. Third tip, look up in-depth videos (motojitsu) on counter steering trail breaking. And forth tip, if you want to ride and actually have fun doing it buy a bike capable of doing so.
@@OldNotDead-Club blooming autocorrect. And Nikes don’t make great riding boots. As for counter steering riding running boots, that would make for an interesting research project, one I won’t get involved with.
Because they end up on their ass. Harleys aren't built to corner at high speed unless it's modified, and if you're going to modify your cruiser to corner just get a God dam sport bike

Thank you for taking the time to produce another relevant and informative video.
Great advice! 'Stacks of practice' is most important. It's amazing how quickly you lose the feel and technique when you don't practice.

Excellent info Aymen , thank you for taking the time to re edit ! 😊

Cornering is the best part of motorcycling without doubt!

Thanks again
absolutely spot on, thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you
No way….. just got my Harley Davidson 2006 Low this past year and I’m learning the turns this video has helped me out immensely
Love the content, Aymen and Karyn, as an administrator! I enjoy all the vlogs...💯%✌🏽😎
Thanks Annie , I didn’t have anything to do with it however !
Glad you’re loving the vlogs !
My favourite ride at the moment is going through warrandyte state park the twisties are heaps of fun
Always great content and good footage too,,Thanks ,,
Sorry bout my last comment Eamon.😇🙌

it happens to many people in all types of scenarios, we are wired that way
I corner a long bike and love it. 113”
I was taught at saftey course to look to the part of the road ahead where u will be in a matter of seconds maybe 2-300 feet ahead. Never fixate on the guard rail.
spot on!
Some great tips there Ayman thank you 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thank you
Gravel in the corners - the great equalizer!
lol, horrible

Good to hear you are ok
Hope it's a short term problem but you might want to consider seeing a doctor.

True thanks
Gday Eamon. Another great vid. Any chance you can do a report on the 114 crank run out issue? Well known problem HD are concealing. Cheers👍
That's a question for Gixxerfoo's channel.

Amazing video do something on glass riding it the rain my glasses fog up all the time

My name isn't Kyle or Travis Wyman ... so yeah, I'm afraid of cornering.
Lol you can use these skills going slow

Uuufraaaid😊 ausie… so funny👍
lol
Turning in too early always puts you wide on the exit,wastes braking distance.
Anyone can go fast in a straight line, corners sort the men from the boys.
Very true mate
Corners sort those who pay attention from those who don't.
My girl would ask me why do you turn so hard where the bike starts scraping . My answer is , know your limits ! Baby . You got to know your limits!
These techniques apply to most bikes, not just Harley
I'm not so sure about that, I don't need to counter steer in my Nike's
