This lesson is for any motorcycle rider who wants to understand how to safely position their bike when parking on a hill or an incline. This subject is further discussed here • Motorcycle Skills: Saf...
Parking in a busy city is one of the most underrated challenges of riding. That sinking feeling when you park on the side of the road, nose in on a big Harley and you realize....I am going to look like an asshole when I come back! Good advice on locking into first BEFORE putting the kickstand down.
I couldn't agree more. And this is not even about riding itself, it's about being strategic for parking and skills to handle a big heavy machine that has its own limitations.
Thank you, madam..you are wonderful..I watch your blog dozens of times daily..and keep copies of your blog and translate it into my Arabic language.

Thanks a lot for your videos. I need a "bike for dummies" videos to learn all the driving techniques and vehicle management. However I also love your pronunciation which, for me being Italian, is understandable and helps me to improve my English.
Madam, we want a lesson in your next blog on how to park a bike on a street crowded with cars on a dangerous slope and a dangerous climb. And how to stop the bike suddenly by using the front or rear brakes or both while traveling at a speed of 100 km per hour And the correct way to change gears while accelerating from 1 to 100 km per hour. Also, we want to know the bike acceleration skills and the mistakes that a cyclist makes while driving the bike while applying the brakes I am impressed and amazed by the BMW1250 Adventure bike THANK YOU AKRAM JORDAN 26-2-2023
Hey there, does it matter after parking, should i turn my handle bar to the left or right? Majority people does left but i still see people doing right. Do advise and explain:)
It depends on the geometry of your bike and the place where you park. Put your bike on the kickstand and turn the handlebar lock to lock. You will see how the bike's lean angle changes a little. Use that to your advantage in the right situations.
The example at 2 minutes is really hard for me because when I try to touch the ground with my left foot I won't reach because the angle of the inclined
This means that your "acceptable" sector of the circle is even smaller. This is important to know and use this knowledge. As a recovery from that situation, you can slightly roll back using the leg closer to the hill and ride back up to reposition the bike closer to the perfect parallel line with the incline.
