5 Things to Improve Motorcycle Experience | Episode 29 | The PowerDrift Podcast

[@brittoprad]

Hello PD, I am loving this series! A minor suggestion, the intro music is way too loud compared to Shumi's voice. It would be great if you could fix that. Nevertheless this series is a treasure trove to cherish. Thanks a ton!

[@incorefoysal]

Love your content. But I'd suggest for one small improvement. When you refer to some accessories or seating positing etc please display an image so it's easier for the audience to understand fully what you're referring to. Like for example I had to pause the video and Google few of the stuffs you mentioned to fully understand what you're talking about.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks for the tip!

[@djhunk89]

Yes exactly i was thinking the same. When he was talking about some plates.. Still not sure what was that.

[@TechReviewInsider]

Petition for a video of riding gears from 2k (basic to high end ) How are they worth it . Is it worth to spend on more High end brands.

[@powerdriftofficial]

We have a series on riding gear on our Instagram (@powerdrift)

[@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467]

It is 100% worth buying expensive gear. Check out fortnine videos, he explains why more expensive is better in riding gear

[@TechReviewInsider]

@@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467 I love him . Well problem is he does give only Canadian specific gears . Not really a worry if are buying something like dainese ,Aria ,Alpinestars etc

[@ashishjoy96]

@@powerdriftofficial Hey , i searched through the Instagram but couldn't find it. If possible, please share the link.

[@daksh_saroha]

@@powerdriftofficial those videos are really great; but they only provide information on what to look for in riding gear (as in, mesh in a riding jacket). We would really love a video which actually mentions the price range starting at the affordable end. Because as things are, the desirable product characteristics mentioned in the insta video run in 10s and 20s of thousands of rupees and not everybody is willing to afford that. Thanks.

[@47.000]

I really hope this channel helps grow responsible, sensible riders on our country. Great work as always.

[@akshayrao4554]

Great video as always. Thank you for this PSA. I never miss them. A suggestion : kindly include pictures of the discussed products or technique. A pictorial representation will go a long way in giving a sense of what you are talking about. I’m having to pause your video and jump to the browser to see the said product/fix/hack. I understand it’s a podcast, but a teeny weeny pic on any of the corners will illustrate your talking points better. As always Shumi, you are great in explaining concepts with max details in crisp literature. Thanks.

[@samudragupt473]

I also had the same feeling of demonstration of technique and product glimpse

[@abhaychaturvedi650]

Exactly what I commented. :)

[@akshayrao4554]

@@abhaychaturvedi650 sorry my friend. I should have seen it. But I’m glad that we agree that this will certainly help

Awesome, thank you! We hope you give them Likes and Shares.

Do make a video on various helmets available in India under various price brackets ie 10k,20k,30k.

[@thangboihaokip7505]

Yes i would like to helmets in various price segments

[@devashishrege1]

Yeah waiting for this

[@AbhishekSingh-nq4rh]

This! Would also like to get a video on begginer gear and what is the minimum one should spend on it (for off roading)

[@prithvinayak8443]

Most international brands are currently out of the Indian market due to a pre requisite that the government has added. It’ll take a bit of time for good helmets to be back in the market. There are some Indian brands like Axor which make decent helmets, which maybe available currently.

[@daksh_saroha]

Yes please

[@unfiltered.banjara]

just wanna say thanks. Learning a lot of things from you guys even though it's been 10 years now me riding. Godspeed.

[@bhushandandgavhal4995]

There are many automotive channels on KZbin, but what you have started @powerdrift with this simplified series is something different, something that many bikers need. it's the core of biking that you have identified, which just makes life much simpler. One more thing, I am looking to buy a bike under 2.5 lacs, which will help me in dealing with the back pain that I have for the past 4 years. If you can suggest something that'd be helpful.

[@kshitijmishra8377]

Hey Shumi you passionately explained the right Mentality to get into motorcycling. I really appreciate it.

[@falgunvichare2479]

I got this habit of liking PDs videos before they start ❤️

[@drunken2976]

I can listen to him all day long....getting such informations and the way hi presents everything is worth spending time on you tube..

[@venkeysdreams4481]

The best podcast for riders. I love your style the way you talk all about bikes and biking its a sheer pleasure to listen. Thank you for guiding riders like us.

[@ritwikroy8846]

I know you make your podcasts for fairly experienced riders or riders who are not new in the business. I have been riding for more than a year, but when i bought my first bike with my own hard earned money, i had no one to teach me how to ride because no one in my family ever rode a bike before me. Such was the situation that I had to find someone else to ride my bike home from the showroom and learn everything from scratch by just looking at KZbin videos . Since you are the best in the game , may be you could do one for the young hearts that look up to you on the very quintessential basics of how to ride a bike .

[@adarshsharma6113]

Schumi is the Milind Soman of the biking world! Never gets old never fails to make a point!

[@balajijothi4298]

Simple language and pragmatic solutions, as always. Thanks Shumi.

[@eesitpradhan7242]

I have learnt many things from you about riding a bike. I would like to request you to make a video on how to handle accidents. Indian roads are full of surprises, and no matter how safe you are riding someone might ram into your bike from behind and things like that... The question is how to tackle that accident? Some say stay with the bike, some advises leave the bike and so on. So please make a video on that @Shumi.

[@IamSkyLight]

Thank you Shumi. As always you are the best. Could you have one complete podcast on riding sitting position? I know you have talked about it in several other videos, but one single dedicated podcast would give a lot of clarity. Thank you.

[@abhijeetwani56]

Gripping a motorcycle inbetween knees as pointed out in earlier videos has helped me a lot.. releasing the stress which otherwise I used to have over my shoulders... Now going around corners feels confident enough.. though I don't get my knee down 😀

[@naveenbhogs420]

You became a Dhronacharya for most of the riders, plz keep inspiring 😍 and coming to podcast I have a little request if you giving an example of any product just pop up one related picture that gives more weight for the information, I know this is podcast but as you said we can do some alter to feel better😜

[@anuragnautiyal23]

Powerdrift and Shumi doing a great great job. Bringing out such small details is very informative. Learning a lot from your videos.

[@djay6282]

if Shumi Sir had shown with some diagram or pictures it will be made it easier for the beginner or its just a simple work of the video editor

[@aritrapatra5716]

Thanks so much for these Podcasts, every new podcast either brings me to something new or another perspective of looking into it. I believe implying these techniques could eventually make me a better rider and when I am going to look back maybe after 6 months or 1 year I would be much more skilled than before. Great video!!!

thank you Shumi !

[@prakharlfc2010]

About the topic of gripping the bike properly using body parts below the beltline, it'll be great if you guys can come up with a visual demonstration. Listening to someone talk about it is insightful, but it'll be much more effective if we can see how to do it and refine our technique.

[@SOUTHLADBLR]

[@abhaychaturvedi650]

Shumi, great video but may I suggest you put acrua pictures while explaining things like 'heel plates' that can give a much better idea of the message you are trying to convey. Thanks

[@jyo901]

I think heel plate is the metal piece attached to foot peg mounts to prevent the foot going inwards. Is it!!

[@deepcool5497]

5 km destination/ origin is true as i had accident near my home and i became casual thinking that home is nearby and became overconfident and even removed my helmet and put it back side। Though it was a majour accident for which i got immediately got admitted and morning had to go for operation but my head had not collided with anything else it would hv been last

[@darklords1984]

Very good video. Learning a lot from these videos. One suggestion though -- could you please add more images or graphical representations on the concept. It would be easier to grasp the concepts if more graphical imagery was present. For example, when Schumi is talking about heel plates, it would have been better if there were some images explaining the concept.

@powerdrift Pls make a video on superbike accessories. What and why is a good to have in accessories like Crash protectors, engine cover, Spolls, Radiator guard, tank grips, Levers etc.. I am getting a street triple and apart from radiator guard all other accessories looks useless to me. Crash protectors will not help in case of a crash above 30-34kmph and so.. Really need some balance inputs on this.

Those small details that change a overall ride...pls discuss about the ground clearance issue and how to tackle it..my D390 silencer takes a hit everytime i cross a speed bump..i was suggested to put iron skid plates, raise the GC by changing the suspensions..let me know if there is a way out of it... because everytime the bike hits..it's hits directly to my heart 💔

[@powerdriftofficial]

Set the preload to your weight, set correct tyre pressures, and slow down well in advance, open the throttle gently before the bump to uncompress the suspension.

[@ontherox2266]

I would be careful on reducing twist on throttle. Bike becomes less forgiving. Accidental opening on any bike over 90bhp could make for a nice mess.

On riding motorcycle I'm always in a rush to shift to top gear as soon as possible but when I see pov riding videos the rides always tend to stay on one gear and they hardly shift gears sometimes they don't even go 5th or 6th gear on twisties and some small road .......... So what is the perfect way shift gear and stay in rhythm while riding?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Select the speed at which you're comfortable. Select the gear that keeps the engine in the power band for that speed = the rev range at which the engine makes enough power to pull away, but doesn't lug either.

[@venkat.vencut]

Schumi, It might be naive question, but you see racers on track especially around corners they dont keep the knees glued to the tank, in straight they do though. I believe they take out knees to balance the bike while cornering some even take out the legs from the peg like VR 46. So what you said regarding holding on to the tank doesnt hold good while turning or cornering?
