    Thanks to the Riding School of Greece, trick No2 saved my life in a road trip in Italy, Summer 2019. I was in an open wide turn (over 100km/h) when a bag that I had tied on the back-sit of my bike fell and got stucked between my chain and my wheel. The bike responded like if I suddenly pressed the rear brake but without ABS. It all of a sudden lifted its self and started drawing "snakes" with the rear tyre. The only thing that instantly remembered was my training. "Let the bike stabilize itself and keep your eyes to the point you want to go". And I did. I stayed calm. I focused my eyes in the borderline so that I was less likely hit by a car either from my line or the other line of the road and literally hold the handle bar with just two of my fingers, smoothly. After just a few seconds the bike stabilized itself and I started braking gently. I was safe. In the middle of the borderline but safe. It needs tons of nerve to go against your nature and listen to the voice of the instructors in your head. The instict says "Do something, save the bike, save yourself". The truth is "Let it wobble". Great video as always Mike.

    The motocross style leg forward on corners is to move your center of mass forward to get front wheel grip in the corners. You show it once at the end on the dual sport bikes really clearly. It's not quite the same thing as what they are doing on the GP bikes since you corner differently. Your upper body is more upright on an MX bike so the leg really helps get some bite on the front tire.

    @TanmayChhatbar 4 года назад +90

    A few corrections/additions worth including imo
    1. Bikes aren't necessarily limited to 1G in braking. The tendency of toppling is based on the angle between the line connecting the contact patch and cg, and ground. That's why despite having harder compound tyres, cruisers stop quicker than supersports.
    5. While hanging off with the bike a little less leaned may not improve corner speed in an ideal world, it helps the suspension do its job. Otherwise, when leaned, the chassis must absorb the bumps partially by flexing, and they are lots stiffer than suspensions, the reason of crashes due to smallest of bumps at high lean angles.

    You can only brake at 1g if the center of mass is at a 45 degree angle of the front contact patch, because the braking force is equal to gravity then the total angle of forces equals 45 degrees. Many vehicles can brake at higher than 1g without using wind resistance due to center of mass being lower and further back keeping them below the line of the total direction of force starting from the front contact patch (the angle of the ground and center of mass is less than 45 degrees at the front tire patch).
    The wobble also has nothing to do with rake, and trail doesn't technically cause it but will amplify it and make it happen easier. Any bike, even with no rake, or reverse rake will wobble when the front wheel comes out of line from the rear wheel's path.

    This is assuming that the motorcycle and rider's combined center of gravity is at a 45° angle from the front tyre's contact patch. The higher that angle, the lower braking force is possible before the rear wheel comes off the ground.

    • @ritwikreddy5670
      @ritwikreddy5670 3 года назад

      It is roughly 45° in a moto gp bike. Trying to reduce the angle from front tire will increase the angle from rear tire, which makes the bike wheelie at very low accelerations. They balanced it where the angle from from and rear are both roughly 45°.
      One way of decreasing both would be increasing wheel base, which decreases the agility of the bike. Drag racers often stretch their rear axle to allow for much higher accelerations.

    Another part for #9 - If you watch pro riders come out of a corner, many times you will see them finish the corner then directly go to the other side of the track, basically extending the turn; this is to keep the bike on the smaller part of the wheel longer while accelerating so they can apply more power while keeping the front on the ground.

      Yep I have had it happen to me and I just let happen, because the moment you try take control is the moment it throws you off.
      Scary but exciting at the same time, also the same thing when you go off the track at 150 Kilometres an hour into the dirt and the rear is fishtailing all over the shop . You just gotta let it ride and that’s why I tell people who want to ride a motorbike to learn on the dirt because you get used to the bike moving around and the skills you learn riding in the ditch helps on the road.
      Look at how Troy Bayliss used to ride in the GPs and in the World Superbikes

    Hi man, there’s also traction control that helps not going on wheelie while maintaining maximum acceleration that enables you to push beyond that one G, like the computers lower the power to a level that we can’t feel so that we get max accel and traction force. It calculates the spinning speed of both wheels like multiple times every ms.
    Same with stoppies, there’s like an inertial command unit that controls the force of braking so you can get the max force braking output without flipping over the bike. Also rear braking shifts some weight on the bike. Personally I always initiate emergency braking by gradually applying force on the rear brake then the front. Getting upright is like something we learn when going downhill on a mtb as kids, if not then we have a nice scar on our chin lol.
    These techniques + the electronic gives like a looooot of gain in performance when combined.
    Once a gp rider got his traction control cut off by the disks of someone in his tail, exiting the corner he goes full gas : the bike launched itself into a backflip at least 1meter and a half in the air.

    • @MickAngelhere
      @MickAngelhere 4 дня назад

      The one learned when I first started riding and it saved my life many times was to use the throttle when changing down the gears. Especially when you needed to stop quickly as it stabilised the bike instead of it locking it up and throwing you off.
      A lot crashes happen because riders just grab the front brake or hit the the rear brake at the same time because they never learned to use the throttle when changing down gears, even at the riding schools that they are supposed to go and learn to ride

    As a former road racer it took me actually thinking about it to realize at corner entry I was turning the bars left to enter a right turn(and vice versa for left turns) It all came natural as I slid my butt over to the right that I was doing this but as I thought about the physics it started to make sense. One of the more amazing things I learned when racing I never knew I was doing.

    • @SebF99
      @SebF99 4 года назад +1

      Could be 1 of 2 things, some MotoGP bikes, if not all have the ability to have the rear brake automatically activate a certain percentage upon application to the front brake. This tech can be found on 2015 and up R1's and other high end super bikes, Ducati BMW Aprilia etc... Having that technology on their bikes is a preference so explanation #2 could be some racers would rather just use the front brake and engine braking to slow the bike, thus transferring weight to the front tire, de-weighting the rear tire forcing a controlled slide.
      Hope this helps!

    • @juudaime0
      @juudaime0 4 года назад

      Curve Ahead trail braking will help you to brake more later, dont misunderstand with the sliding, when you doing the trail braking basicly the bike will turn more easier and quicker. In the past, lots of riders they braking on the straight, then using the engine to harm the bike during 1/2 or 2/3 of the corner, that takes time. So years later riders’ve change their braking style, thanks for the good front shock, tyres, and electric controllers, they could brake in the corner more smoother and easier, so usually they will brake to the 1/2 or 2/3 of the corner depend on riders and once they finished the braking they will go full throattle to exit the corner or even doing it combine! So insane
