How Quickly Do Our Skills Perish? This Might Surprise You...

[@MissJenni_ISO]

This is way cool. On the same platform idea as Dan Dan the Fireman. I used to watch him a lot at my start of riding motorcycles. I wanted to know more about accidents on them and why. Doing that helped me be more aware of what to look for, what to expect and how to react. Then I found Robert Simmons then found you!!!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thank you Miss Jenni! Yes, I can see the similarities from Dan Dan. Doing this also helps me realize my mistakes and work on my problem areas.

[@HDVIBE]

Practice, practice, practice. Always good to sharpen up the skills as the riding season gets ready to start. ✌️👊👍

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No doubt Rick! I was surprised how much my skills deteriorated from only 3 months off. However, they did fine back fairly quick. As always, appreciate you watching brother

[@Charlies_Riding_Adventures]

Yep. Gotta stay on it. Literally just watched the heated grip video on your channel. Tight community. Love it.

Hey Joe, outstanding content. I really enjoyed watching your practice and it's inspiring.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thank you very much Anne! I wanted to show it's not all "sunshine and rainbows". We gotta put in the practice! I appreciate you watching 😎

[@1986devildog]

Nice work Joe! Thanks. I will be out most of March practicing before my first class in April.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks brother. The parking lot is my happy place. Never thought I'd ever be saying that 🤣 Appreciate you watching!

[@Gpops_Gigi]

Hey Joe, great video I struggle with my left U-turns also and don’t always keep a constant throttle. I want to start practicing the keyhole too.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

The keyhole is a tough one! It took me all last year to perfect it. Appreciate you watching!

[@rugershooter5268]

Just south of you, during our February spring I went riding, no practice, didn't ride a single time in January and not much in December But my winter bike is my touring bike....... sport touring, Versys You would certainly whoop my butt in a competition Starting from a stop into uturn......you going to right turn front wheel to right, lean right.........you can, and it takes practice mainly to gain confidence, turn front wheel to left and lean a little right Wheel turned left makes bike lean more to the right, leaning more to the right the bike reacts to keep from falling over...turns wheel to right, and it whips you around, it does actually work

[@jimmiethebull1177]

Good stuff Joe, I like this video.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks brother. Figured I'd try something a little different from the norm.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Great job Joe!!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks brother!

[@richthereturnrider6737]

Hey brother. Great detail tutorial. I practice as I ride but it’s time for some parking lot drills. You don’t use it you lose it.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks Rich. Definitely right, if you don't use it you lose it! Now hit the parking lot! Appreciate you watching brother

[@linhnha1339]

Very nice cool informative video…

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

[@saddle8bag]

You must be part Brit. You nail the U turns if you ride on the wrong side of the road as they do. I never get either turn that tight, so I must be from the ocean.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

🤣 To my knowledge, I don't have any British in me. But who knows haha! Appreciate you watching!

[@Old-n-slo-locked-n-leaned]

Have you taken Lock and Lean classes? If so, which ones?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Yes I have. I took 101 last year. I am also scheduled to take 102 this year!

I was riding up Hwy 50E towards Tahoe when the road was divided due to construction. On one side (left) the new pavement was about 4" higher than the other (right). I was afraid to jump the lane/curb at 70 mph. If the front tire goes up and across and the rear tire doesn't you might flip your bike as I have seen on a Vago video (very low speed). These are the kinds of lessons I would really appreciate. I am a new subscriber and like your presentations. How would you approach this situation?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

First off, I appreciate you subscribing! If I was in your situation, I personally would just wait until the lanes are even again. It sounds like it was a pretty big difference between the two lanes. Better safe than sorry especially at a high rate of speed. Or, you could slow down (as long as it's safe) and cross over to the other lane at the straightest angle possible of the two lanes. You wouldn't want to just laterally move over. Hope that makes sense! Kinda like crossing railroad tracks. You want to ride across railroad tracks and not in the tracks.

[@mpista7182]

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures Thanks Joe ! I got off the Hwy and turned around. The blacktop was new and still shiny from oil. I was in a small group ride with some (I'll say) anonymous "Rough Riders" heading to "Street Vibrations". It was new asphalt and 4 in is not a great exaggeration. They were going around 80mph but I decided to "ride my own ride". Better ditched than dead.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@mpista7182 that was a smart choice my friend! Don't get peer pressured into something you don't want to do!
