I believe any whip or scrub is beneficial to the rider rather than just jumping and coasting or just free riding. When you go on a trampoline or go run and jump, ride a BMX or simply run down a set of stairs and jump the last couple . Do this, example. Run down a set of stairs and then the last 4-5 just jump in the air and don’t move your body at all just jump up and like a tooth pick hold in the air and land on your feet. Okay now do that again but this time when you jump bring your legs up and bend your knees and then prepare for you landing. When your in the air and you move least way possible your not only allowing for air resistance to do its thing and slow you down but you also cut thru the air as a brick wall. . Same reason why it’s harder to do a back flip without tucking your knees in. Then the landing, when your on a bike the shock and initial part when your bike meets the ground the force is going yo be much stronger cause the whole bike absorbed the landing. When you “whip” not only do you cut thru the air and cause less resistance allowing you to move a lot faster , but the momentum of your body shifting from up and down or back and forth pushes the weight foward and back down allowing you to get up in the air over your gap and then cut back down as quickly as possibly. Then it helps when you are moving consistent in the air gaining control over the bike so the second you land the shock that’s absorbed is not all distributed in equal parts but is spread out in sections . That’s why you see some riders like more beginners who ramp and don’t whip or move at all in big jumps soon as they land they hit flat on the bike goes down kinda flat and the riders feet slip out and when the bike springs back up it throws the rider off. When they move and try to gain more control when they land usually they land but then they get tossed around and have to fight control usually one leg or arm is thrown off as the body fights it to gain control. Once you master this you don’t just stop with momentum and force , but that cutting thru the air and going up and down as fast as can be, we’ll soon as you land all that shock and energy absorbed your bike, you can see them, the tire will kick sideways and the more pro riders will almost drift sometimes cause they know how to ride and soon as they land they take completely off and they are gone. I’d argue the whip done correctly , vs someone who does not whip. Would be seriously a huge factor in who won. My money on the guy whipping. So much so I’d almost bet his time would be cut down so drastically the person not whipping would realize how much of an advantage and would immediately pick up on it to try and catch back up.

I've seen the Batpod up close, it was in the Pedersen museum. The engine is under the rider in the middle, not at the wheels.

Had a motorcyclist scream at me today I about ran him off the road, I have always been a safe driver since I was 16( now 65) no tickets and actually drive a school bus over 30 years. I honestly did not see this man. 🥹

I am 54 and recently just decided I wanted to ride again after about 30 years. I just bought a Yamaha R3 which is been delivered tomorrow and I am super excited and nervous as well but when I saw Shia at the end saying DO IT I got goosebumps. This is going to be an adventure! Love your chanel bro

"No matter how you throw me I land on my feet"

Just found this channel, good stuff.I happen to agree with these descriptions of the bikes mentioned as they are spot on.Went ahead and prescribed.👋💀

While you are all arguing over this bike is better than that one. I will be putting miles on my sporty, Pan America , KLR and my V Star 1100. Have a good time comlpaining guys

Still dont know how its done.... vague explanation

I am a genxer who just bought my first motorcycle and I did not consider buying a Harley Davidson for a single moment.

HD should give everyone over 70 thats been riding Harleys for at least 55 years.

Ever paid $400.00 for an oil change? I have. No kiss, not even a reach around.

I love LOVE MY FTR

You have no idea WTH you're talking about. AMF updated everything in a company that had basically stopped development when their main competitor (Indian) shut down in 1953. AMF paid for updating everything, making electric starters and disc brakes on all models, same w/ electronic ignition. They developed the Evo motor, 5 speed transmission, rubbermount frames, increased engine size on everything, made the necessary changes to run unleaded fuel and meet new stricter emissions and noise regulations. Oh yeah, also paid for and did did the R+D on the Softail platform, still one of the company's biggest sellers. The problem was the lazy ass union workers who were not happy about streamlining the assembly line and setting quotas, like every other modern manufacturer at the time. Don't speak to what you obviously don't know.

You did clearly not understand whips. Bar turn not even mentioned.

Now it turned against its core custmers it's better off bankrupt than defiling the US by existing. I support INDEPENDENT shops and mechanics who end up keeping every make on the road after their factories lose interest.

Slingshot

This is crazy, the video starts saying it’s about Americas greatest motorcycle brand but this isn’t about Harley

RIP H-D. The Commie Kraut and the Board that hired him have killed it.

harleys are trash i own and ride a jap bike

I rode a 1978 AMF FXE Harley for 3 years. I got sick of the breakdowns and got myself a 1986 FXR and 38 years later I desire nothing else.

they’ve had the same set of buyers for 40 years. young riders can’t afford hd and don’t want them. They keep selling the same product to the same guys ( who are aging out) They haven’t the quality, performance, value if other brands. Guess who’s doing well… Royal Enfield. Good bikes, anyone can afford them, good looking everyday useful bikes. I have an electra glide but ride my yamaha super tenere, 85 bmw, 72 guzzi far more. why? because they’re better bikes if you don’t want costume jewelry for a biker cosplay fantasy.

Great documentary on the Indian motorcycles

Harley PEDO davidson

All the small old school dealerships are long gone now dealerships are like a womans cloth shop at the mall.

Say what you want about AMF saved H-D from going the way of Indian. My 72 FLH is my best running bike it AMF but I did a frame up restoration on it in 1988 and do my own work.

They went woke boycott Harley . Go woke go broke

HD..Homo Davidson!

I bought leather boots in a Harley store last year. The cost was over $200. It is the double-zipper model. The left side zipper got detached from the leather on the left boot after about 9 months of use. This is how the store handled it: 1. They sent the boots to HD factory for inspection. 2. Two or three weeks later they offered me options: - Get $100 store credit and boots destroyed. - Get the boots back to have them fixed somewhere else. Take a wild guess whether or not I will ever buy anything in a Harley store ever again. Especially after I learned that they went woke.

I am an old biker going back to the early 70s. I never liked Harleys. They were always overpriced junk. I remember an adoring HD fan back in about 1980 showing me some parts he had just bought proudly bearing the official HD logo. He was in shock because there loud and proud was the MADE IN JAPAN label. I will not drink Bud Light ever in fact I won't knowingly go anywhere near ANYTHING that is AB. I also won't use Targay. I am also boycotting Tractor Supply and Carhartt (they forced their employees to take the experimental vaccine). Keep it up Mr Corporation because I guarantee you that I can find a non woke alternative to your overpriced shit without even trying hard. I can keep this up forever.

Harley went woke and that was a big mistake. They hired a German too run the show. Nuff said.

Going all electric by 2030 that is only 6 years people. What then, an all electric Sturgis?

YOU CAN BUY 3 GOOD HONDAS FOR THE PRICE OF 1 JUNKY ASS HARLEY.

New generation are weak poor and stupid like the future they build lol

Good video

HD= High Dollar New Bikes are Shite Shop Labor 125hr = Greedy 3 Years Harley no more.

The XLCR was CRAP ... I know, I was there !.

“You don’t have to reinvent the wheel” Just use one that rolls For every single luxury car brand. They don’t care to sell them They lease 86% of all they put over the curb, Are leased Harley-Davidson is the luxury brand motorcycle Stop trying to sell what only leasing makes affordable 😊

cant believe the quality of your work

They say its because hd is changing with the times...? If that is the case, the new customer base will never be able to afford one..

Lost track of the miles on my 61 Xlch best bike I've owned

Keep it up on two!

Yes. Keep it up on two.

The dare devil stuff is not motocross. Please don't do anything stupid on a jump. No evidence no proof.

Turn up are sick whips too

Super underrated content/channel

Loved this!

I've had the pleasure to experience a Formula E Event live, and I was very impressed by the soundscape. Sure there was no engine noise, which definitely has it's appeal, but you could hear so much mechanical noise. The tires first and foremost. In any classic motor sport you would not imagine how much these things squeal in regular race use. You hear all the bumps and scratches. In a way it gets you closer to what is actually happening, because you can hear, what you can't see. It's fascinating.

You forgot the L1984-1985 changes compared to the 1983-e1984 and 1986 -1990

“I was going 60” 😂. I love Italian bikes and cars, also your channel. I’m now subbed. I’ve got a 2008 KTM SuperDuke 990R and that thing drains batteries. Good bike though

Springfield Massachusetts not Watertown.
