_________________________
Side Note:
These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.
Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.
Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.
Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.
Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.

Always a delight to watch your videos and learn with so much minute details to focus on and get the job done 🫡

I appreciate that!

Another excellent video! We have the GS Garage exercise in the layout for our monthly training events for off-road riding in Florida. I'm going to share this video with the group as it gives great descriptions of how to approach. thanks again for all of your great videos!

[@advmotoskillz]

🤝 Thank you for letting us know you enjoyed the video! It was fun to it together. We hope to get a few more published before the heat really kicks in here.

[@zeuszoegutsy]

one of the guys (who qualified for the SA GS team) does this with his wife on the pillion and without a brake light in sight - a spectacular display of clutch control

[@advmotoskillz]

That is awsome! 🙌

[@ExploradoresdeArgentina]

Nice practice

[@advmotoskillz]

Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it.

[@advau5363]

Great instructional video and detailed explanation, thank you. The biggest challenge is find an area suitable for this exercise. I also worry about practicing too long in fear of burning the clutch and wearing the bike but I understand this is what they are built for. It just doesn't feel good for me when the fan constantly kicks in.

[@advmotoskillz]

🤝🏻 Thanks for letting us know you liked the video! To set up the whole Garage course does take a big pice of land, but to practice the Figure 8’s doesn’t, and I think that’s really the best exercise to practice.

[@advmotoskillz]

As far as the the fan going, that’s the best noise to hear 😅 because you know that it’s working to cool the engine off. It’s a terrible feeling being on a bike (miles from a shop) when the fan breaks and you know that engine is cooking itself to death😅 I ride my bike here in Dubai all year. In the summer it rarely gets below 40C/104F (even at night) and that fan is always going… on every ride👍🏻

[@advau5363]

@@advmotoskillz thank you very much for the feedback. I will continue practicing figure 8, it always seems to work a lot better on asphalt then dirt. That movement always makes me think I'll lose the front end.... just have to trust it if I have my body position right.

[@advau5363]

@@advmotoskillz you also helped a lot by saying and demonstrating that I don't need to bend my knee as much (ie touch the cylinder) to make these turns. I have osteoarthritis in my right knee which limits my movement but not my passion 😁

[@advmotoskillz]

@@advau5363 I can completely understand. I have a knee that bothers me too. In our “How to Stand Off-Road” video I demonstrate how I loft my foot and place it on the foot peg to avoid twisting on my knee kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXbTYoinhNGaqdUsi=fUvuv5jm1AsN4adE

legend!

[@advmotoskillz]

🤝🏻 Thanks! It was a fun video to make… i clearly remember being frustrated with my first few attempts at the Garage, so I hope this helps.

[@AdvExOz]

@@advmotoskillz sure does, I recently completed a BMW motorrad off-road course and your video certainly helps put everything together. Love it!

[@advmotoskillz]

@@AdvExOz That is great! Glad you found it helpful 👍🏻 Making the time to practice the fundamental skills makes a big difference in the enjoyment of riding.

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Would love your thoughts on bar risers. Not important but some details about me: I’m 59, ride a GSA, suffering from neck and shoulder pain/stiffness (muscle tightness). Old injuries causing etc. I tried the ROX risers, great standing, felt strange road riding…removed them. Thanks much

[@advmotoskillz]

@@billwaterhouse5894 😅 I hear what you are saying! I have a pair of bar risers on my bike. I did a short video a while back on bar risers that can answer your questions “Comfort Boost for Middle-Aged Motorcycle Riders: Handlebar Risers” kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIPbq6Vpg72Mh5Isi=4Q5m1WQ82i8sFNru

Ride a 1250 and there will be no need for the clutch, just the rear brake. It is a big difference between the 1200 and 1250 in this regard.

[@advmotoskillz]

Certainly, each model improves! I haven't tried the 1300 yet...

[@motolover5697]

@@advmotoskillz Even in Hechlingen they teach different techniques since the 1250 came. I am looking forward to try a 1300 in April when I go there.

[@advmotoskillz]

@@motolover5697 You’ll need those heated grips in Hechlingen in April! But definitely a great place to ride. Enjoy 🙌🏻
