Hi eddie~ im leaving this comment from korea. Watching your video already became one of my routines in my daily lives. Even though im the practiced rider for over 15 years, you remind me of something important and fundermental that ive forgotten. Thanks man. Dont forget the fact that someone far away supports you. :)
wow 와우~ 한국말 잘하시네요 ^^ 한국에도 오토바이가 많습니다. 오래전에는 생계형 (for job) 오토바이가 많았는데 for example..honda super curb. now 이제는 for leisure 오토바이가 많습니다. 저는 스즈키 gsx-s1000 탑니다. 미국 어디에 사세요? which city do you live in?
Connor ride the crap out of that bike , i see lots of rider get one and 6 month later think they got it and sell it. It take a year to learn a bike but to ride takes years. Get to the point you are looking for speed all the time . There is a big change when riding a 1000cc bike you will be slowing down for the corner and gasing hard coming out , when you watch a race look at what there doing out of the corner its a drag race to the next breaking point ,,, see how i said breaking point he who can break best wins the race it where 90% of the over taking happends. When on a small bike to be fast you must carry speed throught the turn.
At the end of your video you said there is no need to write a long response to tell you all the things I think you got wrong or why I disagree with you. But here is my somewhat long response to say I 100% agree with almost everything you say in your videos and that I absolutely respect and appreciate you taking so much of your time to encourage people to wear protective gear and practice their riding skills. I was involved in an accident 8 months ago when a van turned in front of me without enough space to completely stop, swerve, or avoid it. At the time, I was doing the speed limit of 30 mph. At the moment of impact, I was braking hard and probably going 20 mph. Doesn't sound very fast, but it was fast enough for my bike to instantly stop and I went over the handlebars causing me to land head first on the pavement and then tumble over onto my back. I walked away with a fractured index finger. The doctor said he thought I fractured it from braking so hard, not from the impact with the concrete. I know my riding gear saved me. I NEVER ride without it. Thanks again for making all of your videos and sharing them with us. I truly appreciate it. Ride safe!!
I think rev matching (blipping throttle) during downshifts is a very good skill to learn. Forget any "performance" benefits, the ride is just so much more comfortable if you can shift smoothly. No jerking back and forth during shifts. It isn't difficult at all to learn, either. You can easily practice it during daily commutes whenever you are shifting, so it doesn't really distract from proper throttle control or line selection.
@@MotoJitsu Motorcycle clutches are bullet proof and usually last the entire life of the bike. So again, you're right on point. They can take a heavy beating no problem. Rev matching is not necessary, that is unless I suppose if one is trying to impose a heavy dose of engine breaking by down-shifting prematurely to a low gear while still at a high speed, which is a silly habit since the breaks do the job better. Sometimes I do that and only then do I pay big attention to rev-matching, and only then so as to keep the rear wheel from skidding.
@@noelgillett346 Yes, sometimes I do just for fun...sometimes I don't...on and off track..there is not "you must do_______" it's all a grey area. There are techniques that are black and white, like how to stop very fast....but blipping the throttle or not isn't something you have to do.
@@MotoJitsu I admit that the feel of the engine in deceleration is sweet, so it's an indulgence. Speaking of which, I"m glad that you emphasize the point of enjoying the relaxation of a safe and graceful ride. You're the best influence out here on the web for these young squids especially. I referred a college aged fellow who just bought an old Ninja your way. Best good deed of the week for me. So thanks.
So many aspects are riding are fun but for someone to say you have to do this or that...eh...there's many ways to do one thing and many reasons to...that's why my vision is to inspire people to take as many courses as they can to learn all the various ways people teach and ride. There are some overlap but some parts are totally opposite...be eclectic...learn everything and develop you're own style. Hard to take half the comments seriously when most people have only gone though 1 course and think they all of a sudden know all parts about riding. I know about 5% of what there is to know about riding....so when people claim they know 80% it's just silly. That's great!
Best advice. I’ve been hit going through a green light on my bike and hit while sitting at stop sign. Always ride like they don’t see you. I almost got hit while merging into traffic from the suicide lane. From now on I won’t even use the middle lane. I’ll go make a u turn at the stop sign. People really don’t see bikes. I was in a suv when I got rear ended at a stop. So, very good advice.
there's a reason why during MSF classes you're taught to roll over 2x4's. This is done so you know what to anticipate in the future when you do run over something. I suggest everyone take a class before you start riding. And now you can get your license without having to take a road test, thats only if you don't fail the class.
Love your videos, passed my msf from your RU-vid videos with no experience, got me a R3 and I have been practicing the basics. The slow stuff I’m getting better at, it’s the above 50mph that I have to get used too. Very detailed videos
It never occurred to me until now that rev matching may not be necessary under heavy deceleration because of the drastically decreasing speed. Now I have one less thing to focus on at the track.
Exactly Kristian!! You'll be able to carry more speed into the corner due to not having to start that madness too early lol...the bike will be slow enough to just put it into the gear you want when you need to...and it all depends on the corner, maybe for one you want to rev match and engine brake but other times you want to drive further in...just another option :)
My first and only bike right now is an r3 and I blip because it is like music to my ears on the flip side I also release my clutch out slowly. I use a mixture of both.
If you release the clutch slowly after rev matching, it kind of defeats the purpose because your allowing time for the engine to lose speed relative to the wheels. Think of the auto-blippers, they are instant. You can release the clutch quickly if you match the rpm correctly. Easier said than done, and if you don't, well then you still need the clutch or a slipper to help control wheel speed
100%….I am a new rider and I go on group rides on my 650, it’s always the smallest bike but I understand cornering well and even though their bikes are 2x more powerful I don’t Have to go nearly as slow as a lot Of them when we hit tighter turns. Love that you said that size Of bike doesn’t matter it’s skill when it comes to cornering
Great video, man. Getting the fundamentals down before moving on to other skills is really important and not something I hear many Motorcycle content creators mention. I'm glad you talked about it here.
When you constantly suggest that nobody has the power to upset you, it is actually confirming the fact that they do. It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that they do not have the power to upset you. I would not give them any time or thought at all. Ignore that stuff. If you can do that, then you have truly rendered them powerless.
Vision, brakes, throttle control, counter steering :) If you haven't already, check out my website MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, courses, etc.
Been riding sport bikes for over 30 years and I barely rev match. I'll never understand some people's obsession with it. For normal street riding it's totally unnecessary. Downshift as you slow down. Occasionally if I'm heading into a corner too hot in high gear, I'll do it as to not lockup the rear tire. Or if I'm flying down the highway and come up on an offramp too fast I'll do it to prevent excessive engine braking. So it can be necessary in certain situations but for normal street riding where your obeying the speed limits and cruising around it's unnecessary. And it's absolutely the last thing a new rider should worry about, if ever. Great video!
I just kind of started doing it naturally after I learned about counter-steering. Before that it was just "look where you want to go", which ended up with me crashing a couple of times because I didn't actually know how to force the bike to quickly go where I want in dangerous situations.
Hey Eddie! You really helped me get better riding my bike and most importantly, helped me ride safer. Can u do a video about how to behave and position yourself in traffic as well as the do s and donts? Thanks a bunch
I recently realized that I blip the throttle as a carryover from driving a manual transmission car. It's probably a bad habit because (a) it's unnecessary when you're not dealing with a finicky car gearbox (b) it enables some bad habits, eg shifting down too early on downhill twisties (done in cars to avoid brakes overheating)
Thanks for all of your tutorial videos man! Have learned so much in such a short time and will continue learning the fundamentals and technical techniques of riding. You inspired me to buy an R3 instead of an R6 to learn and master. Glad I made that choice.
Recently subscribed. Not sure if you have a website or forum where I can post a question but here we go. I’m a fairly new rider (7 months) 28 years old. Started off on a Ninja 300 and got bored of it within 3 months. Saved my money up and got a 2017 FZ09. Within a week of buying it I was not used to the power and looped the bike going 45 mph. I believe it was due to me being exhausted from working all day and not used to the torque. I think I had traction control off but can’t remember. I’m pretty sure I accidentally popped the clutch going from first to second. No major injuries since I was wearing full gear. It’s been about 3-4 months since then and have upgraded my gear , got the bike flashed and have grown more comfortable to the bikes power. I have it in the lowest power setting “B” mode and traction control 2. The accident spooked me pretty good and I’m still hesitant to do a hard acceleration in the first 2 gears. What’s the trick to accelerate hard without popping the clutch? I know you posted a video of how to accelerate hard but I’m not sure on the clutch mechanics. When you’re going to second do you instantly upshift and release the clutch while adding the right amount of throttle? Thanks
The first thing you said seems odd...you got bored in 3 months with a Ninja 300? My gf's 390 Duke is an awesome bike, completely stock. Can ride on the highway no problem, it's my track bike, and I ride out in the twisty roads too...I'm not good enough to out-perform that bike..so when I see you say you got bored...I get very curious to what that even means to you? Anyway, if you looped that bike within a week, that's a good indication you should have stuck with the 300 and really learn how to ride. There's no need to get a heavier, more powerful bike when you don't have the skills to match it. Since you only been riding for 7 months, I'm assuming you only took the basic course right? No others yet? I hope you get into more classes as soon as possible and spend a tremendous amount of time practicing to learn how to ride. Your question was how to accelerate hard without popping the clutch...you control the clutch, if you let it go too fast (that's what popping the clutch is) then your bike will react as fast as your hands do. Whenever you're shifting gears, you roll off the throttle, pull in the clutch, upshift, release the clutch slowly, then get back on the gas. I don't give it any throttle when I'm shifting.
Well not really bored. I guess that was the wrong word to use. I just wanted more power for passing mainly. I do a lot of sport touring and it was frustrating only having 16 ft pounds of torque. even gearing down and full throttle took a good bit to pass someone going 70. I really like having the extra power to get out of dangerous situations. I agree with you though I should have stuck with the 300 for a while longer. I just took the drivers course no MSF or anything. I agree with you 100% I guess what I'm trying to say is how do you shift gears super fast if you're slowly releasing the clutch the whole time while shifting? I feel like if i dont give it proper throttle after upshifting the bike doesnt really go anywhere
I'm a new rider. Rev matching is the most confusing thing I've ever experienced. Going fast is easy but slowing down is a different story. I'm still clutching in and shifting all the way down when I come to a light. I have accidentally downshifted perfectly once but can't remember how I did it.
Speaking of trail braking I do it naturally as a new rider. I assume it’s my 30 years of Mtn bike experience? If you don’t trail break in certain conditions (and use the rear brake in the same way with some controlled skid) you are asking to fly off a Mtn.
Mtn bike? Fisher hard tail. Motorcycle a Honda 250. Not my dream bike but a great commuter. Looking for something for longer rides but not into traditional cruisers. Sport bikes are more like a Mtn position but I’ve never ridden one. I have back issues so sitting straight up isn’t great either. Any suggestions are welcome.
all you need is bit of practice for get perfect reflex memory to downshift and blip throttle at the same time.It took me a month of practice to get proper rev match
I struggle with flinging the clutch. I always seem to release slowly when getting into the friction zone. Dont kniw why, still trying. Can I hurt my bike if I don't get it right?
Humble pie should be on every menu! I’m a biker/trucker and so many people become impatient on the roads! So I’m with u Eddie every one is drunk and trying to kill u! People don’t care about each other! My truck only goes 50mph and I’m still arriving before guys doing double the speed ( over long distance)#driving fitness probably
Again thank you for the perspective. Gathering intel on different situations one might encounter on the road is very valuable. Practicing different events is so very important. We seem to have the same experience of folks catching up at a light or a rest stop and saying gee you are fast. But all that was different is one person knows how to make the bike go where they want it to and another hasn't gotten there yet. Which is often why I would not hang with other riders on group rides. I was either in front or at the end. And even the front was an iffy situation. Hearing someone else's bike pulling up quickly as we entered a corner always put me on alert. Here I am trying to keep my eye on whats coming and now I have to figure out where this person is behind me. Their frustration at not being able to keep up has them on that throttle till the last moment. Them being unaware of the abilities of their bike gets them in trouble. Which in turn puts me at risk. So even though I was on a bike with half the engine they had, they still could not match me. My weekends at the parking lot paid off in spades. Them not showing up after being invited to do the same showed. Eventually after hearing about their mishaps and one pretty bad event, made me totally not go on any more group rides.
Exactly why I pretty much ride alone now-a-days or it's just a really chill ride. People's egos gets in the way so much, it causes so many accidents. Another reason I'm making these videos...hopefully to inspire others to take more courses and practice.
When you have the street riding basics down, learning rev match downshifting is a very good thing. It makes the ride much smoother and it's extremely fun and satisfying. It's one of my favorite things ever. I do agree that you have to have the basics down before you try to learn it though, but I think many of the viewers are somewhat experienced and this could be the next thing to practice. I've ridden for seven years and still every time I go ride, I focus on the basics like lane positioning, but I like to think I have the capacity to practice rev matching for example as well.
As a new rider myself I thought I was riding wrong or even hurting my motorcycle by just slowing down then downshifting but after watching this video I now know I don’t have to worry about rev matching and can continue to ride in my comfort zone ... thanks for the vid
I gotta say when I first watched one of your videos I was thinking this is going to be another moron who don't know what he is talking about. Thank you for proving me wrong. I am a new subscriber and I have yet to disagree with anything you have said. I have not watched all your videos yet but I am getting there. I would love to hear your thoughts on breaking. I get so tired of arguing with people who say they don't use their front break. The people I know well I tell them to let me know when they are going to be on the road so I will stay home. If you have done a video already please tell me which one so I can watch it.
Yes I did make a video on braking and the front brake is the most important brake to practice with! It has mostly all the power to stop! If someone doesn't practice using the front brake during emergency stops, I won't ride with them! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rT3dTUoUlS0.html
You mentioned your 390 Duke. I'm actually in the market for a new bike. I've been riding for a long time, but I've still got loads to learn. I've ridden bigger bikes like yourself but, like you, have realized that you don't need a big bike to have fun (I currently have a 2015 Yamaha Tracer MT09). I live in the city, commute 45 km to work and ride occasionally on the weekends. The Duke seems perfect, but I'm worried about its reliability. Have you had any issues with it?
Zero issues!! That's a good commute so you'll def want a bike with a windshield and somewhat comfortable for that trip. Maybe a BMW F700GS or Triumph Tiger?
Thanks for the tip! I ride in Korea where motorcycles are not allowed on the highways at speeds more than 80 km/h. My commute is mostly in the city at moderate speeds with moderate traffic flow. There are rodes that bikes can get up to speed on some great B-roads, but the speed limit is actually posted at 80 km/h. I thought I had a great commuting bike with my MT-09 tracer, and it is a great bike. I've owned it for almost 3 years, but I find the power to be a bit too much for what I want to do with it. As well, the extra weight is noticeable in the city even though it is a light bike in its class. I love the upright riding position, though. I sat on the Duke and I love the upright position and the ergonomics. The power is sufficient and it's a nimble little fireball, or so I've heard. I'm leaning towards a Suzuki SV 650 or a Duke 390. The Yamaha MT07 is $1500 more than the Suzuki here in Korea which is a let back. So I guess you could say I'm ready for a naked. Any thoughts or advice? BTW, I'm going to leave my bike in gear at stops now no matter what. I've always made sure that stupid stops and then switch to neutral, but I was worried about clutch wear, so I popped the bike into neutral later. But, I'm going to change that. Thanks for the tip.
Awesome!! I would say see if you can go and test ride the 390 Duke...I also love the Triumph Street Triple RS! Such an amazing bike...yeah, the whole clutch wear myth is silly... I always leave the bike in gear in case I have to take off really fast! I'll be making a video tomorrow on how to do that!
Cool! There aren't any Triumph dealers in Korea. They sell the Bonnevilles and Scrambles here and there, but for some reason, they don't sell the Tigers or naked bikes. I'd def be interested in a Street Triple. Thanks again.
Dang!! The Street Triple RS is amazing but my GF's bike is the 390 Duke and I love it...it's also my track bike! Whenever I go to the track, that's what I take.
Very useful and practical suggestions .. really I love your vlogs!! It's been more than a couple of months on my 150cc motorcycle now ..:) Thank you !!
The more of your videos I watch, the more I appreciate how good they are on so many levels, and how gifted you are as an instructor and presenter. Your channel isn't just enlightening, it's downright inspiring. Thank you.
Im hearing you matey 👍😀 id rather learn to stay alive & no worry about being a show pony on a motorcycle ! You speak i listen , ive seen way to many videos on guys that think you are good riders because they got their licence & then many of them crash 👎 to many people doing the wrong techniques or no technique, il learn from you brother 👍🕺🏍 Respect from Steve In Bundaberg Australia 🇭🇲🍹
I find downshifting is useful only if you do performance riding, like racing, where you redline at all times. As car mechanic i actually laugh of people who have destroyed their transmissions when doing revmatching in cars at low rpm. Tho regular street cars cant even go that high rpm, for you to need rev match, cos most gasoline cars start redline at 6k rpm, or diesels even at 4k, if you revmatch at that low rpm, chances are higher that you would just break the teeth of gears. And with my motorcycle, i downshift at 4k rpm, the next gear lower is like 4.5k, if i just smoothly downshift, without revmatch, and downshifts smoothly.
The question is not should I continue to rev match, but how do I shut off 30 years of muscle memory and stop rev matching? LOL. I've heard for years that motorcycle gearboxes are perfectly able to shift without double clutching. But it's cool and I can't stop it. Hey, at least it's not crack or smoking formaldehyde I am addicted to.
You can downshift smoothly without even using the clutch also on any bike; if you give a slight throttle input right before you change down to unload the transmission. It's the same concept as upshifting but instead of a quick chop of the throttle to create slack while accelerating, a quick blip creates slack in the opposite direction while decelerating. A motorcycle transmission is constant mesh there's no need to clutch between gears up or down. That's all an autoblipper and qs is doing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_mv3_g3ZLY.html
I thank God for this channel. I don’t really have nobody I trust to teach me and I have been stressing on this rev matchin. Good to know that I can learn this later. More important things to master like keeping my head up!
Listen I ride in jeans and a reg jacket Michigan isn’t the best place to ride for long periods of time in a full suit the last month been 92 and 75% humid can’t even take my helmet off without a water works 😅😅😅
After my first year of riding last year I heard all about the throttle blipping and rev matching. I worked on it for a few months and found I could rev match a lot easier if I just slightly rolled off the throttle and down shifted.
Tried it today as a total beginner upshifts no problem but the downshifts seem to be working also just the smaller gear doesn’t need that much rev matching if you are not reving so high at least and you can go slowly up when you are better in lower rev ranges as then the rear wheel wont do a stop so badly in slower tempos and revs. Plus my traction control saves you a bit of that too if it gets too bad. But without can block completely and when you do it in a turn and the rear wheel blocks and you slide. Not so funny as a beginner ;)
Hear hear! Watch Fast Eddie's videos, get the skills POUNDED into your mind and body, (Line selection, Body, Head, Bike) then and ONLY then you should move to adaptation and improvisation. Seriously, listen to this man - he knows his $#!^. But bear in mind, all the "fringe" skills like rev-matching (depends on the bike you ride), Trail-braking, air-braking at triple-digit speeds, etc. are SECONDARY or even TERTIARY. Watch the videos, listen to the instructions, and put it to practice. Practice like your life depends on it. My ride-by-wire bike is sluggish in response to throttle-blips so I don't even do it. Gentle clutch re-engagement is just fine for normal riding.
For sure!! Too many people I see worrying about body position or rev matching when they're crossing double yellows or can't make a simply U turn to get out of a parking lot. Brilliance in the basics!
Question, I’m a new rider. So yesterday I noticed that when I’m in 2nd gear and I let off the throttle let’s say I’m doing 40mph, once I try to get back on throttle it slows down dramatically before picking power back up. Is that a form of engine braking? I could not understand what was happening. Is that rev matching (I will finish watching the video now, but I wanted to ask before I forget)? I have no clue. It was just sketchy. Thanks for all the videos, you probably kept me riding at my skill level yesterday while I was out with my 2 buddies.
Antdoza Driver once you roll off, you’re automatically engine braking. If the rpms fall too low, you’ll be in the lag of the engine’s mid range power, so it’s normal. Rev matching is something totally different, what you’re doing is just slowing down with the engine instead of the brakes. Exactly the same thing if you take your foot off the gas in a car.
Thanks for the quick answer! I got my license for 2 weeks ago, and ordered a BMW F750GS with full specs.. incl. quick shift pro, cruisekontroll etc.. I am planning of using the bike next year, when the season begins.. do you recommend me to just use quick shift pro and only using the clutch to stop and to takeoff? Thanks from Norway.
If it's your first bike, I would get used to shifting normally for a while, like 5,000 miles to get an understanding of what you're doing and why....never rely on the technology a bike has, only rely on your technique.
Good point, I thought about the same thing but wanted to hear from you before. I found about "rev matching" by myself when I drove with my instructor because I didn't liked when I was downshifting and the bike began to jerk.. but I guess I have to be better to be within the right rpm range when I downshift the normal way so that the bike does not jerk so much.. Thanks, and keep the good work!
On the street, I rarely worry about body position. Like you said, it's whatever feels comfortable. Especially on 2 lane roads...Most of the time I lean the bike while I keep my body upright because the curve doesn't require me to hang off the bike.
Another great video mate! 👍 I totally agree with getting a bike you’re comfortable on. I’ve only been riding a couple of years and started with the trusty Suzuki GS500f then this year I bought a Honda CB919 Hornet. Was never comfortable with its size and weight and power so I sold it and with a small profit I bought a 2007 Triumph Daytona. Yes it probably has as much or a little more power than the Honda, but it’s smaller and lighter and after fitting new tyres I am already comfortable on it after only a few hours on it. Keep up the great videos Eddie 👌
Our riding group were passed by some crazy fast adventure daddies in the tight twisties of Qld Australia, they were unfortunately overtaking us pretty dangerously mid corner by crossing double lines but man they were quick. Glad i made the decision to buy a small indian scout bobber cruiser after hiring sport and naked bikes for 8 years and looking forward to practicing some motojitsu before taking my wife on the back for date nights. Thanks for your contribution to the lifestyle ill be picking up your App today and made an instagram acct to get your additional content.
Glad you mentioned your exhaust addiction and how you've managed to overcome it. A new exhaust is a big purchase, especially when it's a new bike that comes with a decent stock exhaust. I have a 2017 Moto Guzzi V7iii and everyone on the forums likes to switch out their mufflers so the bike sounds more "aggressive." Those mufflers are a 1000 dollar upgrade and they don't really make the re-sale value go up. I'm with you, there's better ways to spend that money.
I don’t have much experience riding motorcycles. Having said that I stupidly bought Triumph scrambler 400 and have already dropped it twice turning at slow speeds and while trying to spot it. I am embarrassed. I handled the speed 400 better but I somehow bought the heavier and larger bike. I am trying to start practicing more on whatever I have now but kinda scared too.
I've gotten so used to telling how fast I'm going that down shifting doesn't really require the "blip". When the speed is right it's meaningless but I'm riding a big old Harley. I do it, blip that is, to say hello to people I know with bikes, :-) Hahahahaha Great videos dude and the advice is spot on. There's years of "the basics" to practice, more than the number of riding days here. It's good to remember that.
Hey are you an instructor for inland valley motor sports?? I think you were one of my instructors, i don’t remember your name but Viet was the other guy teaching DUDE I JUST WATCHED SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS YOURE GREG, Greg and Viet. Talk about small world
This is a solid idea, Learn everything you can, choose a smart order to learn them in but the most important part of this, learn how to determine when a situation requires what skill. That is what kills people, not knowing a skill or not knowing when to use said skills. Pick the wrong one for the wrong occasion, that could be lights out.
Great advise man thank you Although I own a s1000rr but I am learning with the bike. I am planning to get into a school of riding just to learn, because I think it is better to learn first and practice practice practice, hopefully I get to a track soon so I can try to throw my body and strech my neck to where I am going rather than my front tire LOL no, I dont do that but you know what I am saying lol
I mean no offense when I say this. But it’s kind of hilarious that you’re talking about being a safe and aware rider, while you’re making a video while driving. Thanks for the knowledge, but maybe extend that safety mindset, to driving in a car as well.
Fast Eddie’s Motorcycle Fun ya. Casual talks are ok but when you explain things like these. You are really concentratiing on it. So I think it will distract you or anyone does that. Just my thoughts.
Great video. Motorcycling (and bicycle) riding is physics, science and finally art! You have stated: Once you'v'e finally mastered the art of motorcycle riding you can do far better riding on a far less powerful motorbike. Fast Eddie this is a great message. Keep up the great work. We are all better riders if we take note of this message.
Squirrels,,, lol, you love or hate them? Sorry. lol. learning a lot from you to put in the real world, i commute alot by car AND I practice a lot of what teach in my car... visual, spacing and so on ...its making a better car driver also. Thanks.
it has been a hit or miss for me.im a beginner rider and what i usually do is wait for the speed to match the gear that im going for and thats where i kinda blip it lol
I don't think it's something you need to learn for a while...until you've already a very solid understanding of the basics like throttle control, braking, counter steering, vision.
Nothing better than passing sportbikes on my klr650 lol. Just kidding only happened couple times. But I have little onroad experience lot to learn still.
