Rider lacks confidence on bends !!!!! 

This is more about riding within your skill level - that way you stay safe. Nicely done.

Thanks AB ... returning rider ( after 30 years ) and what I got out of this was 'no rush, no rush' as I'll admit I've felt under pressure to keep up speed and that's been wrecking my ride ! Many thanks :-)

I think she's doing fine. Everyone should stay in their comfort zone.

??? The title is a joke!??? She rides like an effing queen; perfect lines. You don't see such many times on YT, not even at Advanced riding. A joy to watch 😁

Thought that was a super ride. Even more so for a novice. I certainly thought she showed confidence and ability. Maybe she is comparing herself to the death or glory merchants. I think she should be proud of that display. Well done! :-)

I think she was doing pretty good. Better than most experienced riders I've seen

I think this is an great video. You walking thru with her, not talking away but helping her think thru things is a great video to watch and learn from. My hats off to you and will checkout more of your videos!!

Thanks for the video, really good training, I'm just learning myself and I learned a whole lot from that lesson! Great stuff!

Always ride within your own personal limits...You'll live longer.....

One does not have to go round every bend at the fastest possible speed that traffic, weather and visibility allows. A bit slower is sensible, as their might be diesel on the road, or a rabbit might run out. I am not slow, but I am not trying to go as fast as I can, one never knows when one might find a ladder in the road. ....

Nothing wrong with her riding skills whatsoever - says this 75 year old m'cyclist.

She's riding really well! Keep it up, you will only get better.

She is one hundred times better rider, than the guy's doing 150mp and not knowing what's ahead. Keep up good work.

What a great ride. Consistently making progress and planning for driveways, small junctions and other "secondary" hazards. I think I saw one "unplanned" brake application but even that was done to bring the bike down to legal speeds rather than a lack of control (we all get giddy every now and then). I think one thing that helps me to refresh my riding is to do a running commentary on a ride so the instructor's commentary is in keeping with that sort of exercise and encourages good practice.

i thought she did very well, watching her, I've never been on a motorcycle before but can tell she's doing well with the way she slows down in plenty time and leans with just the right amount of weight without tipping the bike over. she should be proud of herself :-)

Mindful of age of this vid..however nice forward planning & decent riding..especially considering then rider was then a relatively new rider. Better lines & better pace than some I have seen at an advanced level. Decent solid ride.

Was thinking of a few advanced lessons, passed my test 4 months ago and haven't ridden since as I bought a project cafe racer. She'll be ready soon and I just feel really rusty. I felt tense and tight in a few corners on lessons. Guess it wouldn't hurt right?

"Look at the car, not the bend!" ???!!! Did I miss something..

She is good! She just has to stop talking herself out of the confidence! Oh and kudo's to you sir aswell for that very professional overseeing and shot calling. Well done! Now tell the truth, you know that road well don't you?? Because a couple of corners couldn't be seen and you called em as if you live on it. (personal observation) See you down the road!

She made it through the first time she thought of getting expert advise.

telling a new rider to focus on telephone poles, or anything else not on the road, is probably bad. target fixation happens very easily when people begin riding and telling someone to stare somewhere other than ahead is not a good tip. otherwise good stuff

Awesome job jill keep rubber side up.

Watching and thinking this is good. Then I'm thinking looks just like the roads I ride around home. Then I realise it is the roads around home 😆

This might sound out of context but as a rural bike rider in Somerset one thing that you have to look out for here is farmers leaving mud on the road either from their tractors leaving muddy fields or cows dropping slurry. Not sure what the law says about leaving the road in a dangerous state.

Lacks confidence?? Really, I never noticed that. All I keep hearing is "No rush"..."No rush"....

what bends?

don't rush! about the best advice you could give to a beginning motorcyclist...

Should I be worried? I'm getting close to dragging knee with just MSF, youtube videos, and 200mi on my first bike. After rides I consider slowing the pace but I feel so confident on the bike. This comment is not to brag but to asking if it sounds like I'm getting way ahead of myself.

7 seconds in it says 'Rider lacks confidence in bends ?' Who are you asking ?

I know it’s an old video but I failed to see her rushing anywhere. She seemed smooth and consistent and not tearing into a corner.

I'm just starting out and to me she looks fine....I'm nervous on bends I have to say but I'm sure confidence comes with experience

She rides well, personally I don't get this telegraph pole fascination. At one point the lines crossed the road and were a very poor guide to the road ahead. In forty odd years of accident free riding I don't focus much on overhead lines. I watch the signs, hedgerows and other vehicles.

why would be surprised when given instruction that she would do good...

I've said this before on other videos you don't have to plan if you're not going fast if you choose to ride a motorcycle there are risks everywhere if you don't like the risks don't accept them take the bus drive a car stay at home

don't rush..how do you expect her to get her knee down..

You can't make speed and line judgements on a bloody hedgerow and telegraph poles, there's no telling what's around that next bend. All it takes is a broken down vehicle on that bend to fuck up your day. In our location it's always a bloody horse, but it's their road too.

An over emphasis on the telegraph poles - they should be used but not trusted to always follow the road, good forward planning though.

Work on getting close to apex for newer riders its the most important for turns. Racing lines help a LOT! PLAY A GAME OF GRAN TURISMO on time trial and youll understand what i mean. It helped me. Being able to imagine these lines will make u a better rider!

I don't mean any harm, but this guy would have driven me crazy. I guess he's just doing his job. However, I just wanted to yell "shut the Π÷׶ up !!! Beautiful countryside though.

"60mph is not a target"... nope! Its a marker for short shifting in 1st.

I've just started doing an IAM motorcycle course with a view to volunteering as a blood biker with my local organisation. During my initial taster ride I was told by my observer to ride in no higher than 3rd gear everywhere because it reduces gear changes and the necessity for braking. This makes my bike (a carb model XJR1300) scream like a tortured banshee. It's painful to hear and makes it drink fuel like it's going out of fashion. Also, there's very little in the way of engine braking so even with huge amounts of forward planning I find myself still using the brakes to slow down. I've tried riding in third gear on my wife's Triumph street twin and it's a lot easier and less painful to do. Is there a different technique for carbed and fuel injected bikes or is it just a case of 'suck it up, buttercup', that's how we do things now?

with more poles coming into the country its a bad idea to fixate on them

No I thought she did ok

Keep your eyes on the road not the bloody poles.

British roads suck with all the damn bushes or walls everywhere. God forbid one could see how the road continues or how sharp a bend really is...

I see nothing wrong. After all, they are not on a racetrack.

Do you get paid for stating the obvious ? Bend in road, traffic up ahead etc etc etc . And if you do im in the wrong job lol.

ride it like you stole it :)

Worst part is that you both drive in the wrong lane

It was noticeable that during the course of this ride, the opportunities to optimise your view into bends and corners and to straighten out bends when safe to do so by utilising the full width of the road when broken white lines are present, 'as advocated by the police force' in their recommended 'Safe riding style' video, were absent ?

Planning bends on poles is a terrible idea as seen @5:05 where they cross the road...the girl was doing fine without your nonsense

i think if he shut up for a second she would have been perfect!

Just found this RU-vidr … I can’t stand to watch it… the sound is TERRIBLE! Like nails on a chalkboard making it impossible to gain anything from the video.

Thanks for the video, really good training, I'm just learning myself and I learned a whole lot from that lesson! Great stuff!
