@@SeanieVoiceOver Hear hear. Auckland is not much better either. Motorway is streaming all the time and blocked to a crawl 5 hours a day. People just refuse to adopt motorcycling as a means to get around it, and councils will not adopt motorcycle friendly policy to encourage it. Because 'motorcycles are dangerous' yet commuting is the safest activity you can do on a motorcycle.

@BrianCx 5 лет назад

Slow riding skills I think are often undervalued and underestimated by new riders (me at one time), but slow skills are about the most important and required in daily driving, which is why I practice slow riding at every red light and every time I park. Driving a motorcycle isn't about how fast you can go, it's about how slow you can go! Now I will say after transitioning from a few years on an '08 Vstrom 650 to a '12 Tiger 800, the MUCH better balance and handling feels like cheating lol. It's just a noticeably much lighter bike to handle! Superb video, thank you for doing this, you're doing a great service to riders everywhere.

Please don’t anyone kid themselves iv learned my lesson my skills have waned I will get there but carefully. First wee run after I got bike delivered was only 30 miles but the sweat and my right hand was in spasm, grip to tight due to stress and sweat due to realisation I’m older, slower and skill deficient, not smoother or wiser yet but will do it love these videos think you’ve already saved my life

@stevegandalf4739 5 лет назад

I remember doing my "slow control" lesson when I learned to ride in 1996. Did it on a Honda CG125, mind you !! Done quite a lot of mountain biking off road, including slow technical tracks, so I found this easy. When you're riding on the road at normal speeds there's so much else to think about, like your lane position, other traffic behind you, other traffic on coming, bends, other traffic at junctions, thinking about what other vehicles on the road might do, pedestrians etc. Doing the slow control lesson, you just have to think about you, the bike, a few metres of tarmac in front of you and the cones !!

Great stuff Russ. I suppose now into my 6th year and with about 150000Km under my belt, I should feel experienced... I'm glad to say I still feel like a learner most of the time and I practice the slow stuff ALL the time. Everyone I've seen fall off has been going slow, as you would have seen over quite a few years, lol! Now I have the joy of practicing it off-road - found a cool spot with all sorts of terrible terrain and slopes etc. and so far so good. Mostly the principles are the same it seems. Personally I prefer to never take my feet off the pegs, I just feel a loss of control when I do that so prefer to work and work on my skills until I don't need to - hope that makes sense!! I also LOL'd at Hepcat's comment :D

I've got slow speed down good in traffic situations but I so rarely U turn I never push myself to try. On both bikes I can stay upright at a snails pace with that method, but it's interesting to hear the physics behind it. I really must do the mod 1 stuff on my bike and get used to it, nothing more satisfying than having complete control of the bike in slow speed situations.

Big fan of this channel from Adelaide, South Oz. Doing a similar thing here though in a much more pleasant climate. Riding and commentating your 'live' thoughts is a challenge in its self haha. Great job on linking up the four camera set up and editing too. Totally agree with your use of the back brake as a throttle - I can smell the clutch thinking about it. I was very lucky to work in a dealership (Allan Jefferies in Shipley) for quite a few years and had the run of a whole load of demonstrators to practice and learn technique, I used to demonstrate slow speed riding and also ABS on the car park, far less fear of dropping a bike when it's not yours - Haha. I never dropped one during these little 'exhibitions' but did once almost totally destroy a 900 Tiger whilst riding way too fast on slippery roads on my way in to work one Saturday morning, ended up alighting the bike as it hit a dry stone wall. Moral of the story - don't ever believe you're immortal and learn from your mistakes. I'm still learning 35 years in! Keep up the great work mate!

I have never actually learned to ride in full lock properly although I do that clutch(+brake) thingy in traffic jams around Saint-Petersburg while lane splitting. I learned it on my own though. I can't wait for the snow here to vanish so that I could put that to practice. I was taught the "accelerator brake" approach but I feel that the bike is struggling every time I do that. Thanks so much for the guidance! Now I know!

Great video, I have to do a Uturn everyday due to London's one way systems and I find some days I can ace it almost like motogymkhana style shown in your video with the tilt other days I just end up doing a 3 point turn because I didn't turn tight enough (This is only on my FZ1 my GW250 incredibly easy to turn on). To me using the back brake feels like stabilising the bike and helps lift it back up as well as the throttle once I back off the power and brake the bikes starts tipping in.

@chrisbysize 5 лет назад

I would love to see this excercise conducted with smaller tires like the mp3 has ~12-13". I find it a bit hard to stay stable below 20km/h and you can't use the looked front wheels, since they are unlooked above 3000rpm or rsp. 6km/h. You further can't use a clutch since it's a variomatic gear.The low point of gravity with 265kg net weight doesn't help much.Another point: Your tiger doesn't have a top case - when riding a normal bike with loaded 10kg rack, this added top heavy load adds momentum. It may be a small but significant difference if someone exceeds the 3kg max load.

@ThatguyFirst 5 лет назад

When you consider that every ride begins and ends at zero mph/kph, slow speed skills are essential to be comfortable in the transition from stopped to moving, and vice versa. Far too many riders seem to accept the transition zone as an uneasy oh-crap-I-hope-I-don't -fall-over period that isn't fun. Work to develop slow riding skill and the payoff is an immense increase in overall riding pleasure.

I have my my main DAS course next week with the Mod 1 following at the end of the week. I practice on my 125 all the time practicing Slalom, figure of 8 and U Turns. I find that first gear is a bit jumpy keeping it between 5-8 mph so tend to use 2nd gear which is very steady and keeps me at about 6 mph. Am I right in doing this? Or when doing your test will the test instructor look for everything to be done in 1st gear? Great videos by the way. Learning a lot. Thanks.

@RoadcraftNottingham 4 года назад

Hi, the only reason you'll be jumpy is because you'll not be controlling your clutch. Remember to only feel the friction zone and not all the way out.
