Slow til you're good with your speed and direction...have more patience mid-turn and focus on your exits!!! linktr.ee/GregWidmar

[@hebrewboy3126]

This video is real thanks moto again for showing real life expectations please make more video's like this and talk about head turn and when going in corners please

[@andreamaeki2439]

I wish I could talk to you on the phone about my problem with my bike...

[@davidtruong9367]

GREAT video! You always have such informative and easy to transfer lessons. I am a fairly new rider (been licensed since 2006) but only just started riding consistently in March 2020 and your videos are my trusted go-to source so I am truly grateful. God Bless and keep up the excellent work, sir!

[@savage22bolt32]

Hey everybody, Thanks for commenting, and can we all send emails to KZbin headquarters and tell them they suck because they are not addressing the scammers that keep posting their scams.

[@bikedawg]

Maxwrist needs some Jitusu lessons....

[@ronricardo7421]

Love this... I dont care about lean angles and moto gp body positions, what i care about is making the turn safely. Thanks for this vid. The true finish line is with our families.

[@savage22bolt32]

Exactly! Have some fun & arrive home in the same condition we left - Except, maybe a bigger smile when we get back!

[@sixpath]

well said

[@womanhoodisnotacostume7648]

Riding goals!

[@the3by5]

These ride-along videos with you are just so valuable. They help counteract my inferiority complex about being too slow at the apex when I see other riders who seem to be riding faster through the apex. Either their speed is an optical illusion or they are tempting fate. We are not racing on the road -- we need to ignore what other riders are doing. I'm 72 and I still struggle with this!

[@Nanoamps]

I'm right with him. I thought I was too slow in corners, this video gives me confidence I'm doin it right and need to keep improving this. Real-time comments are AWESOME!

[@savage22bolt32]

Russ, ride your own ride. At our age things take longer to recover from, if we have a mishap. The object is to HAVE SOME FUN! and make it home in one piece.

[@chrispewkreme]

If I could add to any of this: go on a dry run. Check out the road. Look for debris. Get familiar. Ride on new roads no faster than you’d drive a car as a general rule of thumb. Once you check out the road and you’ve ridden it slow, then work on going faster. Riding is an art form that takes a long time in my opinion. Train often and accept steady growth. Don’t just go balls to the wall. The same app.Ken’s to the gym, surfing, etc. Always great technical advice!

[@robertmann6890]

Agreed 👍 I always practice on a familiar road. If I’m going to test the limit of skills. Also won’t do anything that would possibly put other people in danger.

[@72garibay]

I’m 51 years old … never been on a motorcycle.. I just put a down payment on a 4rr .. just wanted to say thank you for teaching me the techniques.. I don’t consider me a beginner in anything cause I drive machines for a living.. I’m pretty sure the first day I get the motorcycle I will be on the freeway cause I’m a natural with machines .. but I just study the techniques of other and I just wanted to say thank you cause I study your techniques the most .. and if anyone ask why the 4rr .. simple ninja 400 and 636 all put together In one small motorcycle.. 😊

[@koopsjunta]

Honestly mate, your channel is the very best on YT for motorcycle safety. Many thanks.✊🏻

[@fluffyduck72]

Had my motorbike learners permit for about a month, this video has helped so much when dealing with corners/twisties. Thanks.

[@robertmann6890]

One thing I think about for new riders is distance is time. Even if you do this and get faster and more comfortable. Watch that you don’t get too close to car in front of you. Personally I maintain a 2-3 second gap at all times. It has saved me more than once.

[@charliepirhonen9734]

Your teachings and your channel has gotten better and better. As a seasoned rider I think you are giving some of the best advice on KZbin. All the best to you and all the up and coming riders. There's a lot of bull out there. As riders we need to be safe and confident in our abilities.

[@GhostRider-yh7sh]

Damnnn Greg, i cant keep up with your videos. The amount of content your putting out is insane. I have to improve my cardio to keep up with ur videos on YT. Mad respect from Holland

[@yasinulkebay3760]

most importantly, about your comfortable entry speed. It will be directly related to where you look, if your look 'drops' or you stare at a fixed point, you will feel you're going too fast and will apply brakes and it's not good. Look ahead and chase the limit point, that's the basic of cornering. Thanks fast Eddie :)

[@TheEvil._.Grimace]

I Was just out practicing this and it definitely increased how I entered and left curves. Slowing down going in and steady throttle through the apex and once the opening showed I accelerated out and it seemed I was going slower, but I was going much faster. The roads are at 50 mph. Body position was the same as usual. 😃

[@senseiii3986]

As I learned in racing school... entry speed means nothing. What matters is your EXIT speed. Slow is smooth. And smooth is fast. You get your bike down to a speed that's "too slow" for the corner, that's just means you get to hit the throttle sooner on your way out. These things take practice. Don't wreck trying to keep up with a high vis nerd 😈

[@AlgeriaRiderdz]

people always tell me that I'm good in twesties. But to be honest, I rarely feel comfortable and sometimes I panic when I enter a corner. Now I know why and how to solve this issue. Great video as always mate!

[@RabiesTheBeagle]

Twesties lol. As a male I have a pair. Of twesties. I do like riding a motorcycle in the twisties.....

[@AlgeriaRiderdz]

@@RabiesTheBeagle now I have to google that 🙈.... there is something to learn every day 😁

[@drjimpapadakis]

Greg, this is "Motorcycling 101", extremely useful and insightful (as usual) !!! Greetings from Greece!

[@forthcoming1000]

First time i was riding my first bike, just days after I got my licence, I was coming up to a round about in an 80 kmh zone. I took it at around 20 kmh. Very slow but I was not confident and it felt comfortable at that speed. As I came out of the turn and went to go straight and speed up I then realised that there was a turn coming out of the roundabout, not big but took me to the left. I hit it at almost 50kmh, I shit myself. Thank God I didn't panic, just slowed down tapper my brakes and looked at where I wanted to go like I was taught. Made it through, only centre meters from oncoming traffic. After watching this video, all I can think is what if I tried to the start the turn at the speed I thought I should go or something i wasn't comfortable with because i dont want to hold up traffic or something.

[@rogermaslonsr.9156]

Ideally, shouldn't have to worry about slowing traffic ...which should ADAPT to the vehicle in front AND maintain FOLLOWING INTERVAL.

[@BunikuXXL]

True, even if you are slowing traffic (doubt it), that means you are visible. In my opinion it's better than flying pas everyone without being seen.

[@buildingdesigned-residenti9412]

That is what I am practicing and I look back and my buddies are a long way back. Thanks for your advice and keep up the good work

[@robertmann6890]

I ride my Harley with some sport bike guys. They think my Harley is faster than most Harleys because I am able to keep up 😂 No, my road strategy is better.

[@rodneybutler7939]

thanks!! just bought new suzuki hayabusa I like what you said. proably saved my life. another great video!!! I'm 68 going from hondaCBR650R to suzuki hayabusa

[@pamthetraveler7224]

I learned to ride street bike in the 90s up in Sierra Nevadas…where the sign basically says twisties next 100 miles good luck lol. I was taught not to slide or brake into a turn (that means you have too much speed) but at 2/3 through the turn is when you to pull out of the turn. And shouldn’t use brakes at all, learn to use your engine and gears. Took me awhile but that small piece of advice was instrumental. A friend asked me in my first year of riding up there, “is it beautiful seeing Lake Tahoe or all the mountains and valleys??” My answer, “no clue, my eyes were glued to the pavement lol” it took a few nightmares that I’d look out at the view and that’s where my bike would go. Not a place to learn but I’m a Rise to the occasion learner. Power down, don’t slide into turn and power out 2/3 through. And for heavens sake, do NOT hug the line expecting the oncoming car to stay where they are supposed to. THEY are also googling at the view.

[@bulleit9459]

This is THE best video tutorial on riding curves safely on the entire web. This vid has completely changed my riding style for the better. Thanks Moto!

[@Stephane-au-fil-de-la-vie1266]

Man thank you for those ride on southern california roads. Never been to SD mostly lived in L.A. and that was almost 30 years ago.

[@joshmuirhead1154]

I like it! Slow down, comfortable, remain patient, set up strong exit, SLAM ON THE THROTTLE!!

[@diegomateo4979]

I came back 4 times to watch your videos over and over and I feel that I always learn something new I wish we have curves in Iowa we just have straight lines 😅

[@MrTimbicile]

Thanks for the awesome tips to learn to pick up speed through the corners! Slow in fast out👍. I always feel like I look like a beginner because I don't shift my weight or lean the bike hard, it is nice to hear that it's not necessary.

[@saurabh430]

Slow slow, patience.... strong exit :-).. love it!!

[@caseycrownover8329]

Thank u for helping me to become a better rider I really love to practice every thing u teach us think u sensei I love that I can actually feel my self going from riding to driving my motorcycle thank I'm very grateful

[@1up5down]

I like this approach to learning the priority and focus when riding, especially for newer riders. Glad to see you are doing well Greg and you have the original beast back :)

Greg is better than any teacher you would meet face to face.

[@grudzien9784]

I love how are you giving it to us straight :-) people do need to hear that because it is stupidity of the highest level to risk your life on every corner just to go little faster. There are so many idiots on the road makes me physically sick great videos. Thank you so much for all the instructions.

[@ronlee9638]

Fantastic Greg I love these clips on corners, I done my first track day recently with a coach, I'm looking forward to my next track day, this clip was a great help ..

[@pfv3462]

This is the most important video you've made so far! together with the concept of trail braking, this is what bikers of all levels should know! I have always learned that I should always be able to stop when coming to the exit. body position is certainly important, but a good neutral one, especially on public roads.

[@johnmiller2482]

This is gonna change the whole philosophy of how I ride! Thank you!!

[@dimitaraleksiev7124]

What a lovely roads you have in USA. Not same here in the "sunny" UK. Keep up the good works and thanks for sharing all your experience. You are a legend!

[@259559ful]

Turning in the middle of the corner is a game changer for me. I used to turn in way too early and then have to correct constantly.

[@fareskherbane3166]

Man, been a while since I haven't watched your vids and now coming back to it I immediately notice how much the quality improved and keeps improving. Keep it up the good work!

[@dustinbjohnson]

Your channel has really been helping me get back into motorcycles. I would love to see a video on this mind set but with big long high speed sweepers. And how you attack those corners.

[@ghalibbakhtiar1300]

Proper throttle control will change the way you ride. I kept getting on the throttle too early and that messed up my lines every time. Great video as always, Sensei

[@krzysztofg2145]

It's strange at the beginning, but when we realize to ride faster/safer and with more pleasure - its more to do with mindset. It's psychogical problem, not so physical. Like - the whole ride is going in our mind. And our body - and therefore motorcycle - reacts to the mind and then we ride safe..or not ;) Our body is led by the brain and we can train that brain to think is certain way. Thanks for another lesson :)

[@robertmann6890]

Smooth is fast. It’s all about what’s most efficient. Often I’m riding on busy roads. I see cars weaving in and out of traffic only to pull along side them 2 traffic lights later. With my cruise set at the speed limit I might add 😂

[@chrispulham4779]

You are so right Greg,,,, after practicing what you teach i find myself much quicker and nearly no risk. 100% CONCENTRATION is what i try too always do. Things are so much more enjoyable do just what you teach... Cheers once again!

[@johnmadden177]

F.Eddie”, I really appreciate the instruction and presentation . The active on road narrative, simply brilliant.💪🏼

[@thebodyexpert8]

Great video!!! I'm just about to buy an MT 10. I've ridden super sports bikes for years but I haven't ridden for 6 years. I've done advanced riding courses and they're valuable. There are some amazing roads here in the south of spain and I aint trying to die!!! :)

[@houseofroos]

I like how you demonstrated the concept repeatedly

[@gsxrg46]

Great lesson! I have literally heard so called experts say trust your tires and having faster entry speed to go fast. Which on mountain roads with blind turns is idiotic. A lot more fun, safe, and faster taking your advice.

[@voidvirtue547]

i went riding in the twisties last weekend. i stayed in the middle like what you said, and it made all the difference. i now enjoy cornering without stressing out line selection! thank you

[@richardbayne7566]

A lot of the time riders get in trouble because they treat the public roads and mountain twistiest like a race track. This is usually young guys on super bikes. That’s why they call them organ donors…

[@Conqueefstador]

[@YourFavoriteRoadCaptain]

I've tried this strategy, and it's made my cornering much smoother in a short time.

[@marieesguerra1117]

I like how you showed 3 steps. Thank you

[@stephanddd]

Great video thanks. Your narration is very useful, especially when you verbally explain "wait, wait, now accelerate" - it helped me change my riding. One issue I have observed is that if I'm riding behind a good rider, who accelerates hard when they're exiting a corner, it's very tempting to get on the throttle too early to keep up with them. But if I resist accelerating too early, I get an "accordion effect" where they peel off from me at the corner exit but I catch up with them at the next corner entry -- which feels stressful.

[@ToniMGonsalves]

Ride your own ride. I've been lapped many times then eventually pass them. It's fun and cool and I stay safe

[@elhuervo6069]

safe riding is the best riding, for everyone. Ride within your limits! and remember have the priority be the exit and have the patience to remember that and have the patience to ride in a way that your exits are strong with you in an upright riding position and good tire contact on the ground. I practice riding skills on my ebike, I find Mojojitsu's information to be valueble to any rider tbh.

[@secrated]

"Slow down mid turn, Strong Exit" Gotta keep this in my head all the time Thanks man!!

[@ninjaman426]

Just break the front and and the back with soft touch at the right time in the middle range of corner can give u most thrilling in high speeds

[@texasnick19]

Body position always matters. Shifting some weight means more towards the middle of the tires. More importantly, shifting your weight the wrong way is really dangerous.

[@baileylugnut]

As Total Control speaks of, Bikes are designed darn near perfectly. And I, as the rider, become a "Bad Passenger," throwing my body around, manic Throttle and Brake inputs, all which messes with the motorcycles proper function... become a "good passenger" with the advice given by Greg.

I agree for sure 🎉 thanks for the video ☺️

[@DaveDemase]

Might it be said, however, that as rider advances from intermediate/advanced level of riding to expert or professional level, that body position and lean angle DO play a major role in negotiating a curve. Otherwise why would the pros be doing it? More to the point, those techniques should be avoided by the "amateur" until they develop their skills to an appropriate level. This can be suggested in a positive way avoiding condescension or suggesting something is "wrong".

[@neilanderson120]

"Double Stupid!" Dude you ROCK!!

[@DegatyHub]

Quick question. There's a wide left hand corner in the track that i go to. I enter in a speed that I'm comfortable with, but the turn tightens, opens, then tightens again. I find myself over steering, speeding up, then under steering, slowing down, then completing the turn. sometimes I have to re-enter the turn again mid turn, if that makes any sense. Hope you see this. Thanks!

[@rogermaslonsr.9156]

Very nice. I, though, can't reconcile taking turns at high speeds when I can't see around the turn... -I don't like surprises.

[@bob76jsv]

[@OldSkoolBiker62]

Absolutely love your channel.. I did disagree with one of your vids about a year ago sitting on bike while fueling up.. but since then I had a pump piss gas all over my tank and over my engine, I was expecting a fire ball but nothing happened, so since then I now sit on my bike while filling up with gas.. so sorry for my disagreement.. I do have a question for this video.. why riding a bike like a 1250 GS or a sports bike you have more ground clearance so can sit up right, which with over 40 years of experience I agree but recently due to age and injuries I have now moved onto a cruiser stye bike Triumph Speedmaster 1200cc and if the bend is tight or I go into the bend a little hot I have to move my head towards the inside mirror of the bend and add a little more weight to the foot peg or even shift my weight a little more to the inside in the turn.. So I can stand the bike up a little more so not to scrape the pegs.. maybe I just need to get used to riding a low rider and make sure I don't go into turns to hot.. but this can be difficult riding around Wales (UK) through bends I don't know.. do you have any advice for people riding low riders/cruisers through turns and steep bends.. a video on this subject would be great. Thanks again for your hard work making your videos. Ride Safe buddy 🏍....... 🤟😎

Good info , thanks. Will focus on these techniques out in twisties. Question - I may be way off base but is there not a minimum following distance for safe riding to plan exit/avoidance in emergency- such as 2-4-6 seconds? Seems like you are 1 second behind thr traffic. Just looking for some input on this topic and what people are thinking ?

[@ronoldcross8189]
