everything ab riding a bike is mental. but once u get past that part, get your body in good physical shape as well if your riding riding like i try to, stretch before hand and after, learn the basics before u do crazy stuff.

I appreciate the sentiment, but disagree entirely. Everything about riding a bike is physical. Doesn't matter if you think 'swerve', 'stop', 'lean' etc. The bike only responds to movement-but it takes a lot of self awareness to know every movement that's affecting your ride.

@sriavula 7 ай бұрын

@@squidlybytes yea that’s mental aspect, physical is important yes but if you don’t know what to do at the right time the physical part isn’t as helpful, over time it just becomes muscle memory and brain, not much physically, that’s how I see it atleast u could do everything physically right but if ur mind isn’t focosued or u target fixate or ur not confident it all goes down the drain

Riding first in a parking lot is absolutely necessary. You want to practice a few emergency breaking situations and you can get familiar with low speed control of bike before exposure to all the threats of the road.

Dropped my brand new ZX6R on the second day doing a low speed tight U turn. I was super bummed for a few days but it was a learning lesson. Clip on handle bars, full tank of gas, different fork alignment, higher foot peg position all played a part. My last bike was a 650 Ninja and I could do low speed maneuvers like a pro. But the ZX6R is a different beast. Noticed the steering damper on your new bike. Factory installed?

Above all else, know your roads. Every crack, hole, bump, dip, collection of sand after rains, dirt buildup, etc. Study your roads and scan them like a terminator at all times because it's not a game on the road. Yes, it's a blast! But a great deal of the fun and appeal comes from the inherent danger. Don't look at it as just a hobby. Look at it as a sport of life and death. Anytime you feel confident, CHECK YOURSELF and reel yourself back in. Never become too confident. Maintain a healthy fear of the ride the same as a lifelong sailor maintains a healthy fear and respect for the raging sea and in time you will become the road warrior, my friend!!!

I feel like a total dufus….. been riding big dirt bikes since I was in 6th grade…. Brake feels great but I’m gonna go in the garage and see how far or close it is. I do notice rolling the throttle while braking. I’m just super conscious about every movement and I just correct it.

I usually set my brake lever so that, at 0% throttle, i can reach my fingers over without having to go up and over if that makes sense. I dont want to have to pull my hand back to reach over the lever, i just go stretch my fingers and let them rest on the lever... Now that i think of it its probably bad for trail braking but when i ride hard enough to need to trail brake, my throttle hand adjusts accordingly

That's an incredibly beautiful bike. I also ride 2 fingers on the brake. Something to consider, however.. at Jason Pridmore's school, he taught 4 fingers simply because of brake fade. It's unlikely it would ever happen on a street, but should it ever happen, your ring and pinkie will prevent you from squeezing the brake all the way. YMMV Regardless, practicing hard braking is a good idea, even in a parking lot. It definitely saved my life.

This is not related to the video, but your advice is so helpful. I had to emergency brake on a right curve and I ended up going into the oncoming traffic lane. It was very scary, there was a big truck pulling a boat that had to slam on his brake to not hit me. When I hit the brakes, the bike stood up and I wasn’t able to turn anymore, what do you do in this situation, how do you emergency brake in a turn without the bike deciding it’s not gonna turn anymore?

Should you hold the clutch in a turn? I don't know why this is taught here where i am, that you should hold it in a turn on a motorcycle. I was with the teacher in the back and he got real pissy at me that i took a low speed turn without holding the clutch a bit. But i have no idea why he would be so, other than that you can mess up the acceleration. But if you do that, you can always mess up clutch and remove power when needed etc. I just found it weird.

Hey skyoom, it seems like the vibe of a lot of your videos is to not get a liter bike, but what makes you ride a liter bike outside of it being twitchy like you said? Where do you utilize it's power? Do you speed of camera or do mini pulls to about the speed limit? Is it just to pull out of the corners in twisties harder? Do you take them to the track? I have a deposit on a Fireblade and I really want it, but I know it doesn't make sense. It's not clout because I don't ride in a group or with anyone at all, I have no one to impress, but these superbikes just speak to me.
