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.

[@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!

[@russwellen5760]

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.

[@krispewkrem3]

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.

[@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 :)

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@koopsjunta]

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

[@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 ..

[@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!

[@drjimpapadakis]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@djdimpulsemanu9105]

Thank you for the lessons by actually taking this in and going out and practicing I can truly say this works thanks Champ

[@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

[@goksel8722]

Fantastic advices! Thx a lot!

[@The._.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 😈

[@anettedouglasdotter]

So good again - thank you so much! ❤ Love the way you make it posdible to be on the bike with you! 😊 Breath taking sometimes, when you go fast! Soooo good! ✨️🫠

[@epicmotorcyclechannel307]

Awesome advice as usual!

[@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.

[@SS-vi4vy]

Awesome!!! Great lesson.. big fan from CHILE 🇨🇱

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@luisavila4704]

Like your videos a lot!! keep up the good work!! 👍👍👍👍👍cheers from Guatemala!

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.. 😊

I am so glad to find your tutorials, particularly this one when I just got my bike and license 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@stevek2810]

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.

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

[@xB0RNFR0MPAINx]

Another brilliant vid. This one though just hammers the point home so well somehow. Strrrrrrrrooonng!

[@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.

[@nomadpi1]

Thks. Pertinent info re: doing turns!

Great video nice advice and a great bike to boot

[@just.my.2cents]

Thank You Sir! This video is priceless. JP

[@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 🏍....... 🤟😎

[@johanbrits674]

Hi Fast Eddie. Okay, good lesson and I do get the slow down, patience and strong exit through adding throttle to get off the edge of the tyre and on the center, Question? how much power/Inset is being used in the opposite hand/arm to the corner direction to apply "Counter steering"?

[@trollslayergaming]

Excellent bro keep up the good work👍

[@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!

[@houseofroos]

I like how you demonstrated the concept repeatedly

[@michaeldiaz6941]

Great content as always

[@getawayz1]

So good mate, cant wait to get out and practice focussing on my exits. How does your philosophy vary when it comes to the track?

[@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]

[@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 😂

[@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.

[@JulianSloman]

As a beginner this didn't change how I ride, but made me more comfortable to keep riding the way I do :)

[@jordanlineger-nd5gz]

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 ?

[@SC8terRiderMotoVlogger]

Thanks 🤗 Ride safe 😉 🇵🇭
