I’m going to get these boots. I live in central Florida and it rains a lot here. For some reason I never thought of actual waterproof motorcycle boots. Lol I’ve been wearing other types of regular waterproof boots but they’re so thick it interferes with my shifting. Thanks for this.

Id like to know what if youre riding in the rain, and you have no choice but forced to go over a white line while cornering, what are some possible tips?
@keeplivingmotovlog
@keeplivingmotovlog Ай бұрын
I suggest lesson the lean angle and release the throttle slowly to allow engine breaking. The bike will stand up a bit, then you can get off the white line and continue your ride. Most important thing is to keep the bike straight as possible. Engine breaking is key to then use both breaks in a gradual slow squeezing of them so you don't skid out. Also counter balance yourself if necessary.

Nice So to clarify the “pull” Makes a sharper turn?
@keeplivingmotovlog
@keeplivingmotovlog Ай бұрын
@@shaspaz either one does. But i prefer the pull, it forces the bike to snap back in the direction you're going. Just remember that once u give it a pull, let the handle bar follow itself back. Dont pull and stay pulling. Lol let your arms flow with the bar. This works great when at 10-15 mph. You'll have to practice to know how much of a tug you have to give it. Im usually off the throttle on the turn, then back on the throttle once I'm in the direction I'm going.

If u feel like u will fall, let the clutch out and the bike will get up to speed and stand itself up. Keep ur speed between 6 and 12 miles per hour when u practice.

Absolutely, great observation. On my previous Kawaasaki 300, somebody tipped it over in the parking lot. Totally wrecked the rear break. Couldn't use it.
