People often say that there are two types of riders, those who have crashed, and those who will. It's an annoying argument because it's telling people that learning won't prevent you from crashing. But it does, watching crash videos on TH-cam, the majority of crashes could have been avoided if the rider had practiced braking, cornering, or with better road positioning.
@@sammy2840 in the same boat .... 60 yrs old licensed since 16 .... no street crashes , but I had a LOT of crashes riding motocross and enduro .... I think it's the best place to learn , offroad that is
@@cheekeebandito Totally agree that off road is the place to learn and push a bit harder. Learning in a low traction environment will help you to not poo your pants the first time you get a bit out of shape on a wet day or ride over an oily or sandy patch.
Our sport is so full of bad advice, it's hard to separate the good from the bad. Motorcycling has a bad "signal to noise ratio", as we say in America. Fantastic to see more "signal" and less noise. Great job!
Have you heard the term "bro science"? It's used in the fitness world, especially in bodybuilding. Bro science is scientific and technical claims made by gym bros that are not actually based on science. Motorcycling is full of bro science.

Great advice as ever. One thing that some riders underestimate is how important it is to practice slow speed skills as well as emergency braking in a controlled environment. Thanks for posting yet another great video.
Can't agree more. So many people just ignore or overlook them. It's one of the most cost efficient and safest ways to get your basics right like vision body position hand foot coordination without costing your life and bike. Even looks wise, it's also cooler to be able to make a u turn in a couple of parking bays rather than duck walking it in tight spaces.
That's a really good point about survivorship bias. I had not thought about that. Another reason is that "I have been fine so far" is bad thinking is simply that "rare" is not the same thing as "never". You can get away with things for a long time, but that doesn't mean you will get away with them forever. I have never actually needed the seat belt in a car so far in my entire life, I mean in a crash, but that doesn't mean I won't need it at some time in the future. It's just that bad car crashes are pretty rare.
I have to admit, the titles and thumbnails are clickbaity and I do avoid most videos that use them. After google keeps on recommending this video and channel and watching some of the other videos I got to admit the click bait was worth it. Very good quality videos and has more complete information (and disclaimers if info is not complete) on the topics. I am now subscribed and recommending this channel.
Rather than "everyone is out to kill you", a better mantra is "Ride as though nobody can see you". My best advice, once you pass your test, enrol in an advanced course. The test proves you can control the vehicle in public. The advanced course will teach you life saving techniques.
If you want to get good at riding, get a dirtbike and go off road and through the trails, this will force you to master the basics real quick, and it's fun too
Even using road tyres while riding off road helps because the slides and skids happen at low speed and hopefully on softer ground like grass and dirt. I learned power sliding, front wheel skid control, rear skid control, using the rear to steer using power or brakes, and so on. 50 to 150cc is enough off road as the speeds are much lower, and the smaller engine means a lighter bike, so you can chuck it about and learn.
Yes and no. Some skills carry over, but riding off road are very different skills that don't really translate that well to street riding, and vice versa.
I must say, of all of the TH-camr vids out there, yours is the best! I just mastered my U-turns after riding for years and avoiding them. Keep up the great work, please!
I've always thought that the phrase "Ride so that you feel invisible" was a bummer, and I've taken some fights at YT for this my view. You helped me, Andrei, with your semi-attack on "Ride with the feeling that e/body wants to kill you" with a good argument against such follies.
Besides, you are the first I've heard to state the dynamics around counter steering work at all speeds. This is so intrinsically intuitiv to me - you feel it in your whole body, and still I haven't ridden mc more than five years; in addition, this is not because of rotational precession, but lateral acceleration with onset at CoG, the reaction to friction at the centripetal force, but you knew that already. Yes, there is so much fake news out there - to borrow a very worn cliché. Thank you kindly, Andrei.
well made video, providing alot of good advice. I've never understood why people don't ride without proper gear. i was always told to "dress for the crash". plus, open face helmets (or no helmet), these people have never had a Junebug fly up and hit their face- they're the size of a walnut- or a rock off the tire of the truck in front of them. over the years, I've had plenty of these hit the visor of my helmet, along with bees and everything else.
Your observation about counter steering working at slow speeds was interesting. When I took the MSF course a year ago they were still teaching that counter steering works only at higher speeds and that under five or 10 mph it is not a factor
Depends on what you call slow speed: gyroscopic effect (which is needed for counter steering to be effective) start to manifest around 5/7 mph and grows with with speed to a point you simply can’t directly steer the bike. But at this speed or under, direct steering is probably easier..
They were because it does! I can't understand why there are so many differing opinions on this topic :) It is basic physics. What we see in the video is the tendency to turn slightly in the opposite direction to correct for a tighter turn and to help in shifting the bike's center of mass towards the inside of the turn. That is not counter-steering. Counter-steering comes from the gyroscopic effect, like pedro99396 stated. This effect is the outcome of the mass (wheel) turning fast and preventing its rotation plane from changing. Because of that, the force you use to turn the handlebar is transferred to leaning the wheel instead. To see what I'm talking about you can do a hands-on test for yourselves (or just try to remember how it is, if you're stuck for the winter like me): ride straight fairly fast, start turning smoothly for a very wide curve, mid-curve push the "inside" handle very delicately and you will see the turn angle getting narrower, instead of wider. The more you push, so the more you turn the handlebar "outside," the narrower the turn. Then relieve the push slightly and you will see the curve angle straightening, because the bike is trying to get to the vertical position (due to the fork geometry, traction, and centrifugal force). This happens without the initial wheel swerve :) It is perfectly smooth. You try to turn the bar in one direction, the bike turns in the opposite, counter, direction.
@@ReasonDrop Counter steering pushes the front wheel out from under the center line of the bike, interia and gyroscopics as mentioned keeps the bike wanting to stay in the plane it is so its much easier to lean the bottom of the bike out from underneath then lean the top, more so the faster you go. With the bike leaned over the contact patch on the tyre tread is now a cone instead of parallel and even with the bars held neutral (not straight just no pressure) the bike will track in a curve, like a paper/plastic cup rolled on its side. Counter steering again while in a curve tightens the cornering line more by changing the angle of the tyre tread cone. Low speed counter steering gives you a quick lean for tight cornering there is videos on yt of bicycles testing low speed steering with remote control lockouts on the steering head. One with the remote locks it so the rider can only turn left and says "left" (vis versa), almost always crash as they naturally turn right without realising.
Im new to riding and already your advice has improved my riding, my confidence and my eagerness to learn more. Best riding channel I’ve come across so far. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
I have been riding for 45 years and think your videos are excellent. I think what I have learnt is keep practicing particularly emergency procedures off the road to help with your on road situations where you need them. It’s something I have started doing as I am beginning to teach my son who’s 16 but rode a BMW s1000rr at 15 on a private road with my support 😮
The bike he rides is not all that important if he learns proper techniques (position, control, bision) AND makes good decision, particularly regarding speed and power application. An adult friend was in the hospital for s year showing off going around a corner in the city with his Dodge Viper.
Having ridden a bicycle from about 5 - 17yrs old, some of these are pretty common sense (not braking mid-corner, etc) … but, I was thoroughly enthused by the ‘counter-steering at low speed’. I’m a ‘born-again’ biker (I know, soz) with a brand new Super Meteor 650 & haven’t ridden since I had an RD250 back in 1983. Looking back, I was probably such a stupid fuckin’ idiot - chin on the tank to hit 105 - 110mph, summertime in t-shirt & shorts, sliding on ice & being parted from said bike in a corner … happy days. Wouldn’t do it today. This is very informative.
Fantastic video!! There really is a LOT of noise over and against the signal, but your channel is always full of great "signals." Thank you for the great information! I started riding in 1984, and I never stop learning. Repetition is the key to learning, so I find myself watching the same videos over and over again to reinforce the sound ideas of excellent riding! Very, very few channels on TH-cam get my attention (Moto Control, Canyon Chasers, and MCrider are the top three, hands down) for good reason, and it's because of the signal-to-noise ratio!! Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often!
Another point on loud exhaust Due to the Doppler effect you are far quieter driving toward someone than driving away. So coming up behind them, when you most want them to notice you, it doesnt really increase how much they hear you.
Best riding video I've ever seen. Smart and wise. I've watched hours of riders crashing, falling down before riding for the first time. Only after a few days of riding, I realized most of these riders just can't break or most of the time put themselves in dangerous situations out of overconfidence. The video proves my realization. Moto Control is my best riding YT channel by far.
I don't necessarily believe that "loud pipes save lives".... buuuutt since swapping my quiet stock exhaust to a louder one, there's been a significant reduction in the number of people pulling out in front of me or trying to cross the street / just standing in the road infront of me
I've been riding motorcycles since 1975. I believe I don't need a bigger bike. Recently I test rode a 125cc road bike. It was so small it felt like a toy and was actually hard to handle. My last bike was a 700cc bike and handled perfectly. Here in the Philippines, any bike that is 300cc and more is called a big bike since most bikes are 155cc and less. It's all relative.
Same in Medellín.... I currently ride a Ktm 790 Duke ..... it's considered a big bike here .... most bikes here are 100 to 200cc , most are air cooled with drum brakes...
Thanks Andrey! Received my endorsement recently and put on 390 miles this past week by driving a 65 mile round trip six times. There are a lot of curves and stop signs. I will take your advice and agree, practicing uturns and my slow speed skills are more important than miles. You really helped me feel comfortable at the MSF course. Thank you very much!!!
Thanks! I get the most out of your instructions because you demonstrate the exercises while explaining what you are doing. You wanted me to DM you awhile back, I’m not real tech savvy (okay, I’m an old fart). I sent you a message at the @motocontrol or something like that and not sure if you received it? You should be very proud of yourself for your devotion in helping others to become safe riders. Keep up the good work and know it’s appreciated.
I crashed into a car after a car pulled out in front of me and i nearly died. I lost 7 pints of blood "internal bleeding" and broke my leg cracked 4 ribs and ruptured my spleen, My spleen was removed and after 8 day of being in ICU i was allowed to go home. I was 16 years old. The conditions of the road were very bad with 2.5 cm "1 inch" of standing water and poor visibility. My skill level was GUNGHO!!!!. I am a very happy 53 year old now and looking forward to my new bike in a few months. EXPERIENCE is critical. I crashed 3 times before my major accident from looking at BOOTY!!! on turns!!! You feel invincible at 16. YOU ARE JUST MUSH against STEEL, BRICK, TARMACK! Thank you for the tutorials. I have extensive road awareness now after being a courier driver driver for 30 years. Be safe not everyone is as lucky as me.
lol, I'm glad you made it! I have almost fallen into the booty trap a couple times myself. I swear, riding by the beach is more dangerous than the twisties.

Were always learning. When/if we stop learning weve become complacent in our abilities. And thats a step backwards no doubt. Learn daily, on or off the road
14:04 if anyone out there doesnt believe a small bike can outride bigger bikes, just check youtube for Ax Rider and his MT-03 videos where he rides harder than any 650 you've ever seen on youtube.
Hi, could you make a dedicated video where you elaborate a little bit on braking mid-corner? To slow down and even emergency stop mid-corner. In what situation use front/rear brake. How the bike behaves when you brake with front/rear (does the bike stand up? or lean more) etc. Not long ago I needed to slow down quickly mid-corner, I used both front/rear, but lost a rear traction and then it was like riding a bull and I nearly crashed. I'd like to get more insight in this and can't really find much on this topic.
From m'y expérience it 's not so much to use or not use thé breaks on mid corners as to HOW you break ! It has to be very smooth. Rear break makes the bike go straight and vertical , front break projects you forward. Its all about stabilizing the bike. So the idea if you have to brake in the turn(better do it before the turn) is to brake smoothly even if you have to do it intensly. Never "crutch" the break abruptly but gradually, you got to keep control.
Best is not to have to brake significantly mid corner. It's good practice to slow down sufficiently enough to be able to stop in the distance you can see is clear and safe up ahead of you. If you can't see the actual exit of a corner then you should be riding that corner much slower than you might do with those you can see through. If you are cornering hard on a public road you are only realistically going to be able to lightly scrub off speed without drastically changing your direction. It's always a bit of a trade off. If you have room, sometimes it's better to straighten up a bit, brake hard and then quickly get back to cornering. The only corners I regularly have to 'brake in the middle of' are long high speed corners, where simply easing off the throttle and posturing yourself more upright (so your upper body acts like an airbrake) alone will help shed speed fast and help aid whatever you have to do braking wise.. whatever the case, if you are mid corner and suddenly have to come to an actual stop it's no easy task to manage the situation if it is a surprise event. its a lot of information to process fast, and a lot of things need to be happening from you simultaneously to keep everything sweet.. body posture, size and weight of rider, road surface, camber, prescence of curbing, possible routes of evasion, you original speed, and definitely the condition and type of motorcycle, along with what tyres are fitted etc can all dictate different "best approach" for each situation. Ultimately you can answer your own question by going to an empty car park by yourself, then progressively working up the scale on how much braking you can get away with at various angles of lean, and how it affects the bike should become clear, with the bonus that you actually then have experience with what to do, or not to do- I mean in the end you will know far more than what anyone tells you.
Some really useful content there thank you. Myth 1: Just put miles on. The key word there is 'JUST', riding with no practice or training won't help, but it's important not to underestimate the value spending lots of time riding in all situations. I see lots of riders doing low mileages but lots of courses, and they wobble around, with a head full of techniques, that they struggle to put together. Great video.
Excellent video. I do have one slight disagreement. I can honestly say that with the incredible amount of inept and/or inattentive drivers in most large cities (Los Angeles for me), I am ALWAYS on alert for the drivers that ARE trying to kill me. There is no relaxing in traffic, and we have plenty of traffic. Considering our fantastic weather, I ride at least 300 days a year and believe me there are few to none of those days when I don't encounter at least a few potential killers ;) Perhaps we can rephrase the advice to beginners, by saying most drivers DO NOT see you; ride accordingly.
Great advice for a beginner like me! Keep coming up with this kind of video. It helps beginner like me to understand the proper riding principles to be safe on the road. Thanks!
gotta say. you are a good at getting the point across! your advice makes good sense! also, the Russian Accent is great! 👌 you are a very knowledgeable teacher. And if more people practiced what you are trying to teach them, there would be far fewer avoidable mishaps in the motorcycling world! keep it coming with the entertaining, and VERY informative videos! 👍👍
Bought MT-03 as my first bike dont care about people saying its "too slow , not enough power" , always riding with full gear even when its 36 celsius outside , dont care about adding wider tyre because someone thinks they know better than the factory that made the bike , would love a LV 10 slip on exhaust but purely cause it sounds good nothing more nothing less i ride super defensively anyway , i avoid know it all-s at all costs and i can spot them pretty ez , learned how to shake off herd mentality many many years ago , chicken strips ? sure i'd rather be alive chicken and enjoy my rides for many years to come then die and be glorified in the words "HE DIED DOING WHAT HE LOVED" . Ride safe and ride long .
The worse is that until 25-30 years old you have NO FEAR of "shit happens". So you are HIGHLANDER and usually , you have "one way ticket" to hospital , or worse. It's nice to feel free on your ride........... but you have to put some limits ........to stay free !
The more difficult slow speed control is too small a part of road riding. It's always a relief to accelerate away from junctions because normal road riding is the easiest part. Simple things like a kerbside stop then sharp u-turn still have me nervous.
Such useful information. Much love moto brother. Very helpful, even for those of us who think we know what we are doing. You deserve more subs and I'm sure you will get more. Thank you!
15, so is there anything you could do about reducing that number? Have you taken an advanced training course or even just book extra hours with an instructor? I found extra knowledge very helpful. RoSPA and Road Craft are books I read. I also did the UK Police Bikesafe training where you ride with the police motorcyclists for a while and they assess and give you advice on your riding. Do you have police rider training in your area? It's a lot of fun for the riders and the police, and reduces accidents. This means local police have better statistics for road safety, and the riders don't become statistics 😆 Probably your local police would be interested if they don't already do this. It's £65 for 3 hours training with British police. There are TH-cam videos, and at least 1 in my Bike Training playlist.
Love this channel. Solid, real world, common sense advice. Always thought I detected an Eastern European accent … pero no sabía de que estés en Argentina. ¡Che!
I just got my license two weeks ago and am 75 years old with a 5'5" 130 lb frame. I want to start with a small motorcycle first. Do you think that NAVI is a right one for me? I may go up to ADV150 or Grom after that. Right now I cannot decide if scooter is the right choice. Thank you.
New riders will focus on learning how to ride without stalling the engine, rather than how to brake in emergency situation. Also, most of riders will be more careful about not scratch the paint, but will not care about wearing protective gear that will protect them in case of an accident.
Also there's a point most of my instructors told me you turning your head in the direction you want to go helps a lot to for your shoulders to point were you want to go, they never said as it was automatic but as if your body knowing itself helps the feeling and therefore controll
Good thing Andrey that you point out counter steering works at any speed (thanks to the inertia effect, or lateral acceleration at CoG onset, following frictional force and turning radius). I've said this before - although me being fairly new to biking - where not many have understood this.
Turning was so second nature to me that when, after a break, I took the MSF course, I couldn’t force myself to push the bars in the opposite direction. Finally Imrealized it was just pressure and and now I do it consciously, especially when I need to tighten a turn more than would be normal.
I've always been the "ride like everyone is out to kill you" guy. I have made a revision to this philosophy since the beginning of 2020. "Ride like everyone just escaped from, is on their way to, or should already be in an insane asylum" This is much more realistic, because even though they might not be out to kill you, you have no idea what they will do!
I'm a Bus Operator & A Motorcycle rider. I treat every driver like their absolute idiots because they are most of the time & as a result I've personally never had an accident 🤞 that it stays that way.
I understand you relocated to Argentina. Good for you. Beautiful country and lots of motorcycling opportunities there. Best of luck. Expat is not easy but could be very rewarding
Another great video. You are the best out there. Own to Urals - one with sidecar and one without. Also just obtained a new Moto Guzzi V85 TT. You are helping me adjust from three wheels to two. BTW, stayed twice in the Rossiya Hotel there in Moscow where you were formerly. I think your practice parking lot was right near where that hotel used to be.
As a new rider I was giving the advice of all the gear all the time it won't stop you getting in an accident but it will stop it hurting as much as for instance Bermuda shorts and flip-flops.
"From your young age i assume" you have hit the nail on the head! KEEP TO THE SPEED LIMIT!!! Bikers have to except they are smaller than cars. Be aware of the common MORONS on the road.
Hoi, I'm looking for advice on another issue. It's something that I still haven't been able to get used to. Suppose you are on a two-lane 'exit road' that connects two highways. You are in the second lane at 90 km/h and about to overtake a vehicle that is on your right side. Based on position and speed you will be alongside the other vehicle right in the curve. Each time, I have chickened out even though I think there is enough space to make the turn. It's just because I am not used to the vision that I (don't) have in this turn. I know it's wiser to just brake and wait a few seconds but I would like to know if some type of technique could be applied. It's difficult to test this because there never is a plan B if it goes wrong.
You do some great vids for bike handling but once you have some skills with your bike here are some tips to keep you safe, Paying attention to the road as far has you can see is IMHO one of the safest ways to ride but not all the time just make sure you know what's coming, I have only been knocked off a bike twice and both times when I was overtaking a slower or stationary vehicle when there is a junction on the left just after, so I don't overtake near left-hand junctions. Oh! and one other thing never believe an indicator on another vehicle. I'm from the UK btw we ride on the left :) I can add more info to stop you all ending up in traction or worst still a coffin if you like.
can you do a viedo on "exercises to do to become beginner to intermediate".If it even include breaking exercises its helpful. I am from India...I watched many of your viedos and loved your content which helps me as a beginner.I seriously love the way you speak english.Lots of love from India amigo❤❤...

Ok yeah I somewhat have to disagree with the countersteering one. Try pushing the handlebar to the left while you bike is at a stop and then push it forward. It will go to the left. There is a speed at whoch point countersteering starts to work but its incredibly low like maybe 3 or 4 kmh. Just a lil nitpick

As a newbie rider, I really appreciate this no-nonsense approach to motorcycling advice.
That's a really good point about survivorship bias. I had not thought about that. Another reason is that "I have been fine so far" is bad thinking is simply that "rare" is not the same thing as "never". You can get away with things for a long time, but that doesn't mean you will get away with them forever. I have never actually needed the seat belt in a car so far in my entire life, I mean in a crash, but that doesn't mean I won't need it at some time in the future. It's just that bad car crashes are pretty rare.
Yes! Absolutely agree!

Even using road tyres while riding off road helps because the slides and skids happen at low speed and hopefully on softer ground like grass and dirt. I learned power sliding, front wheel skid control, rear skid control, using the rear to steer using power or brakes, and so on.
50 to 150cc is enough off road as the speeds are much lower, and the smaller engine means a lighter bike, so you can chuck it about and learn.
Yes and no. Some skills carry over, but riding off road are very different skills that don't really translate that well to street riding, and vice versa.
I must say, of all of the TH-camr vids out there, yours is the best! I just mastered my U-turns after riding for years and avoiding them. Keep up the great work, please!
I've always thought that the phrase "Ride so that you feel invisible" was a bummer, and I've taken some fights at YT for this my view. You helped me, Andrei, with your semi-attack on "Ride with the feeling that e/body wants to kill you" with a good argument against such follies.
Besides, you are the first I've heard to state the dynamics around counter steering work at all speeds. This is so intrinsically intuitiv to me - you feel it in your whole body, and still I haven't ridden mc more than five years; in addition, this is not because of rotational precession, but lateral acceleration with onset at CoG, the reaction to friction at the centripetal force, but you knew that already. Yes, there is so much fake news out there - to borrow a very worn cliché. Thank you kindly, Andrei.
the dude riding his bike like its a couch HAS to be from Florida... 🤣🤣
well made video, providing alot of good advice. I've never understood why people don't ride without proper gear. i was always told to "dress for the crash". plus, open face helmets (or no helmet), these people have never had a Junebug fly up and hit their face- they're the size of a walnut- or a rock off the tire of the truck in front of them. over the years, I've had plenty of these hit the visor of my helmet, along with bees and everything else.
Your observation about counter steering working at slow speeds was interesting. When I took the MSF course a year ago they were still teaching that counter steering works only at higher speeds and that under five or 10 mph it is not a factor
Thats just simply not true. Slaloms at 10 mph require counter steering just the same as higher speeds. Idk what they were on tellin you that
I think it’s rather that the new/novice student isn’t able to perceive/understand counter steering at low speeds…
Depends on what you call slow speed: gyroscopic effect (which is needed for counter steering to be effective) start to manifest around 5/7 mph and grows with with speed to a point you simply can’t directly steer the bike. But at this speed or under, direct steering is probably easier..
They were because it does! I can't understand why there are so many differing opinions on this topic :) It is basic physics. What we see in the video is the tendency to turn slightly in the opposite direction to correct for a tighter turn and to help in shifting the bike's center of mass towards the inside of the turn. That is not counter-steering. Counter-steering comes from the gyroscopic effect, like pedro99396 stated. This effect is the outcome of the mass (wheel) turning fast and preventing its rotation plane from changing. Because of that, the force you use to turn the handlebar is transferred to leaning the wheel instead. To see what I'm talking about you can do a hands-on test for yourselves (or just try to remember how it is, if you're stuck for the winter like me): ride straight fairly fast, start turning smoothly for a very wide curve, mid-curve push the "inside" handle very delicately and you will see the turn angle getting narrower, instead of wider. The more you push, so the more you turn the handlebar "outside," the narrower the turn. Then relieve the push slightly and you will see the curve angle straightening, because the bike is trying to get to the vertical position (due to the fork geometry, traction, and centrifugal force). This happens without the initial wheel swerve :) It is perfectly smooth. You try to turn the bar in one direction, the bike turns in the opposite, counter, direction.
@@ReasonDrop Counter steering pushes the front wheel out from under the center line of the bike, interia and gyroscopics as mentioned keeps the bike wanting to stay in the plane it is so its much easier to lean the bottom of the bike out from underneath then lean the top, more so the faster you go. With the bike leaned over the contact patch on the tyre tread is now a cone instead of parallel and even with the bars held neutral (not straight just no pressure) the bike will track in a curve, like a paper/plastic cup rolled on its side. Counter steering again while in a curve tightens the cornering line more by changing the angle of the tyre tread cone.
Low speed counter steering gives you a quick lean for tight cornering
there is videos on yt of bicycles testing low speed steering with remote control lockouts on the steering head. One with the remote locks it so the rider can only turn left and says "left" (vis versa), almost always crash as they naturally turn right without realising.
Im new to riding and already your advice has improved my riding, my confidence and my eagerness to learn more. Best riding channel I’ve come across so far. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
My first bike ninja 400 and I love it!! I don’t and probably won’t ever get anything bigger. It’s light and fast enough for me to enjoy
I have been riding for 45 years and think your videos are excellent. I think what I have learnt is keep practicing particularly emergency procedures off the road to help with your on road situations where you need them. It’s something I have started doing as I am beginning to teach my son who’s 16 but rode a BMW s1000rr at 15 on a private road with my support 😮
The bike he rides is not all that important if he learns proper techniques (position, control, bision) AND makes good decision, particularly regarding speed and power application. An adult friend was in the hospital for s year showing off going around a corner in the city with his Dodge Viper.
Chicken strips are simply lean angle safety margins..
Having ridden a bicycle from about 5 - 17yrs old, some of these are pretty common sense (not braking mid-corner, etc) … but, I was thoroughly enthused by the ‘counter-steering at low speed’.
I’m a ‘born-again’ biker (I know, soz) with a brand new Super Meteor 650 & haven’t ridden since I had an RD250 back in 1983.
Looking back, I was probably such a stupid fuckin’ idiot - chin on the tank to hit 105 - 110mph, summertime in t-shirt & shorts, sliding on ice & being parted from said bike in a corner … happy days. Wouldn’t do it today. This is very informative.
Fantastic video!! There really is a LOT of noise over and against the signal, but your channel is always full of great "signals." Thank you for the great information! I started riding in 1984, and I never stop learning. Repetition is the key to learning, so I find myself watching the same videos over and over again to reinforce the sound ideas of excellent riding! Very, very few channels on TH-cam get my attention (Moto Control, Canyon Chasers, and MCrider are the top three, hands down) for good reason, and it's because of the signal-to-noise ratio!! Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often!
Another point on loud exhaust
Due to the Doppler effect you are far quieter driving toward someone than driving away. So coming up behind them, when you most want them to notice you, it doesnt really increase how much they hear you.
Im crash free so far..i was lucky a couple of times but always help me be calm,sense of danger and all Andrei teaching.. keep up
Best riding video I've ever seen. Smart and wise.
I've watched hours of riders crashing, falling down before riding for the first time. Only after a few days of riding, I realized most of these riders just can't break or most of the time put themselves in dangerous situations out of overconfidence.
The video proves my realization. Moto Control is my best riding YT channel by far.
I don't necessarily believe that "loud pipes save lives".... buuuutt since swapping my quiet stock exhaust to a louder one, there's been a significant reduction in the number of people pulling out in front of me or trying to cross the street / just standing in the road infront of me
I've been riding motorcycles since 1975. I believe I don't need a bigger bike. Recently I test rode a 125cc road bike. It was so small it felt like a toy and was actually hard to handle. My last bike was a 700cc bike and handled perfectly. Here in the Philippines, any bike that is 300cc and more is called a big bike since most bikes are 155cc and less. It's all relative.
It's all relative, couldn't agree more!
Same in Medellín.... I currently ride a Ktm 790 Duke ..... it's considered a big bike here .... most bikes here are 100 to 200cc , most are air cooled with drum brakes...
Thanks Andrey! Received my endorsement recently and put on 390 miles this past week by driving a 65 mile round trip six times. There are a lot of curves and stop signs. I will take your advice and agree, practicing uturns and my slow speed skills are more important than miles. You really helped me feel comfortable at the MSF course. Thank you very much!!!
Congratulations with getting endorsement!
Thanks! I get the most out of your instructions because you demonstrate the exercises while explaining what you are doing. You wanted me to DM you awhile back, I’m not real tech savvy (okay, I’m an old fart). I sent you a message at the @motocontrol or something like that and not sure if you received it? You should be very proud of yourself for your devotion in helping others to become safe riders. Keep up the good work and know it’s appreciated.
No, I haven't receive it unfortunately! Try this mail: ashton-brown@mail.ru
I have big bikes and small bikes. From a Grom to a yamaha mt10 to even a fatboy low. They are all a blast to ride. The grom is the most fun.
Your videos are awesome and so helpful. The videos without background music are so much nicer to watch and less distracting. More of those, please!
I crashed into a car after a car pulled out in front of me and i nearly died. I lost 7 pints of blood "internal bleeding" and broke my leg cracked 4 ribs and ruptured my spleen, My spleen was removed and after 8 day of being in ICU i was allowed to go home. I was 16 years old. The conditions of the road were very bad with 2.5 cm "1 inch" of standing water and poor visibility. My skill level was GUNGHO!!!!. I am a very happy 53 year old now and looking forward to my new bike in a few months. EXPERIENCE is critical. I crashed 3 times before my major accident from looking at BOOTY!!! on turns!!! You feel invincible at 16. YOU ARE JUST MUSH against STEEL, BRICK, TARMACK! Thank you for the tutorials. I have extensive road awareness now after being a courier driver driver for 30 years. Be safe not everyone is as lucky as me.
“looking at Booty”, lol. Top bloke. I only ever do that in my jam jar, these days.
lol, I'm glad you made it! I have almost fallen into the booty trap a couple times myself. I swear,
riding by the beach is more dangerous than the twisties.

Great advice, great humour, and l love your accent. Good work 👏
Been riding for x amount of years and I lurned the best lesson by doing so, it's that you always have to lurn more to get better
Were always learning. When/if we stop learning weve become complacent in our abilities. And thats a step backwards no doubt. Learn daily, on or off the road
14:04 if anyone out there doesnt believe a small bike can outride bigger bikes, just check youtube for Ax Rider and his MT-03 videos where he rides harder than any 650 you've ever seen on youtube.
you speak very good english ,im american from virginia usa . great info u share
Hi, could you make a dedicated video where you elaborate a little bit on braking mid-corner? To slow down and even emergency stop mid-corner. In what situation use front/rear brake. How the bike behaves when you brake with front/rear (does the bike stand up? or lean more) etc.
Not long ago I needed to slow down quickly mid-corner, I used both front/rear, but lost a rear traction and then it was like riding a bull and I nearly crashed.
I'd like to get more insight in this and can't really find much on this topic.
From m'y expérience it 's not so much to use or not use thé breaks on mid corners as to HOW you break ! It has to be very smooth. Rear break makes the bike go straight and vertical , front break projects you forward. Its all about stabilizing the bike. So the idea if you have to brake in the turn(better do it before the turn) is to brake smoothly even if you have to do it intensly. Never "crutch" the break abruptly but gradually, you got to keep control.
Best is not to have to brake significantly mid corner. It's good practice to slow down sufficiently enough to be able to stop in the distance you can see is clear and safe up ahead of you. If you can't see the actual exit of a corner then you should be riding that corner much slower than you might do with those you can see through. If you are cornering hard on a public road you are only realistically going to be able to lightly scrub off speed without drastically changing your direction. It's always a bit of a trade off. If you have room, sometimes it's better to straighten up a bit, brake hard and then quickly get back to cornering. The only corners I regularly have to 'brake in the middle of' are long high speed corners, where simply easing off the throttle and posturing yourself more upright (so your upper body acts like an airbrake) alone will help shed speed fast and help aid whatever you have to do braking wise.. whatever the case, if you are mid corner and suddenly have to come to an actual stop it's no easy task to manage the situation if it is a surprise event. its a lot of information to process fast, and a lot of things need to be happening from you simultaneously to keep everything sweet.. body posture, size and weight of rider, road surface, camber, prescence of curbing, possible routes of evasion, you original speed, and definitely the condition and type of motorcycle, along with what tyres are fitted etc can all dictate different "best approach" for each situation. Ultimately you can answer your own question by going to an empty car park by yourself, then progressively working up the scale on how much braking you can get away with at various angles of lean, and how it affects the bike should become clear, with the bonus that you actually then have experience with what to do, or not to do- I mean in the end you will know far more than what anyone tells you.
Some really useful content there thank you.
Myth 1: Just put miles on. The key word there is 'JUST', riding with no practice or training won't help, but it's important not to underestimate the value spending lots of time riding in all situations. I see lots of riders doing low mileages but lots of courses, and they wobble around, with a head full of techniques, that they struggle to put together. Great video.
14:00 buy a small one to train on it and a bigger one to ride on it. I did like this. I have a MT03 2017 and a R1 from 2008
Excellent video. I do have one slight disagreement. I can honestly say that with the incredible amount of inept and/or inattentive drivers in most large cities (Los Angeles for me), I am ALWAYS on alert for the drivers that ARE trying to kill me. There is no relaxing in traffic, and we have plenty of traffic. Considering our fantastic weather, I ride at least 300 days a year and believe me there are few to none of those days when I don't encounter at least a few potential killers ;) Perhaps we can rephrase the advice to beginners, by saying most drivers DO NOT see you; ride accordingly.
Great advice for a beginner like me! Keep coming up with this kind of video. It helps beginner like me to understand the proper riding principles to be safe on the road. Thanks!
gotta say. you are a good at getting the point across! your advice makes good sense! also, the Russian Accent is great! 👌 you are a very knowledgeable teacher. And if more people practiced what you are trying to teach them, there would be far fewer avoidable mishaps in the motorcycling world! keep it coming with the entertaining, and VERY informative videos! 👍👍
Keep up the good work and good luck to you both in Buenos Aires.
Thank you! Will do!😉
Bought MT-03 as my first bike dont care about people saying its "too slow , not enough power" , always riding with full gear even when its 36 celsius outside , dont care about adding wider tyre because someone thinks they know better than the factory that made the bike , would love a LV 10 slip on exhaust but purely cause it sounds good nothing more nothing less i ride super defensively anyway , i avoid know it all-s at all costs and i can spot them pretty ez , learned how to shake off herd mentality many many years ago , chicken strips ? sure i'd rather be alive chicken and enjoy my rides for many years to come then die and be glorified in the words "HE DIED DOING WHAT HE LOVED" . Ride safe and ride long .
The worse is that until 25-30 years old you have NO FEAR of "shit happens". So you are HIGHLANDER and usually , you have "one way ticket" to hospital , or worse. It's nice to feel free on your ride........... but you have to put some limits ........to stay free !
The more difficult slow speed control is too small a part of road riding. It's always a relief to accelerate away from junctions because normal road riding is the easiest part.
Simple things like a kerbside stop then sharp u-turn still have me nervous.
Thanks for the expert advice 👍
Such useful information. Much love moto brother. Very helpful, even for those of us who think we know what we are doing. You deserve more subs and I'm sure you will get more. Thank you!
Where can I see how expensive your change of clothing is. Dapper af.
Glad I found this channel! Looking forward to more translations to English, thanks!!
I have had at least 15 emergency situations in the last 2 months. It just happens, light changes, car merges on you, cut off.
15, so is there anything you could do about reducing that number?
Have you taken an advanced training course or even just book extra hours with an instructor?
I found extra knowledge very helpful. RoSPA and Road Craft are books I read.
I also did the UK Police Bikesafe training where you ride with the police motorcyclists for a while and they assess and give you advice on your riding. Do you have police rider training in your area? It's a lot of fun for the riders and the police, and reduces accidents. This means local police have better statistics for road safety, and the riders don't become statistics 😆
Probably your local police would be interested if they don't already do this. It's £65 for 3 hours training with British police. There are TH-cam videos, and at least 1 in my Bike Training playlist.
Thank you! These are very usefull tips.
What is the title of the book you are showing on 6:50min?

Interesting statistics about collision speeds at 4:49? Where are they from?
I just got my license two weeks ago and am 75 years old with a 5'5" 130 lb frame. I want to start with a small motorcycle first. Do you think that NAVI is a right one for me? I may go up to ADV150 or Grom after that. Right now I cannot decide if scooter is the right choice. Thank you.
Loved this one, and I also enjoyed the funny parts added in, haha
New riders will focus on learning how to ride without stalling the engine, rather than how to brake in emergency situation.
Also, most of riders will be more careful about not scratch the paint, but will not care about wearing protective gear that will protect them in case of an accident.
Also there's a point most of my instructors told me you turning your head in the direction you want to go helps a lot to for your shoulders to point were you want to go, they never said as it was automatic but as if your body knowing itself helps the feeling and therefore controll
6:06 which book is this?
Good thing Andrey that you point out counter steering works at any speed (thanks to the inertia effect, or lateral acceleration at CoG onset, following frictional force and turning radius). I've said this before - although me being fairly new to biking - where not many have understood this.
Turning was so second nature to me that when, after a break, I took the MSF course, I couldn’t force myself to push the bars in the opposite direction. Finally Imrealized it was just pressure and and now I do it consciously, especially when I need to tighten a turn more than would be normal.
I've always been the "ride like everyone is out to kill you" guy. I have made a revision to this philosophy since the beginning of 2020. "Ride like everyone just escaped from, is on their way to, or should already be in an insane asylum" This is much more realistic, because even though they might not be out to kill you, you have no idea what they will do!

"From your young age i assume" you have hit the nail on the head! KEEP TO THE SPEED LIMIT!!! Bikers have to except they are smaller than cars. Be aware of the common MORONS on the road.
Hoi, I'm looking for advice on another issue. It's something that I still haven't been able to get used to. Suppose you are on a two-lane 'exit road' that connects two highways. You are in the second lane at 90 km/h and about to overtake a vehicle that is on your right side. Based on position and speed you will be alongside the other vehicle right in the curve. Each time, I have chickened out even though I think there is enough space to make the turn. It's just because I am not used to the vision that I (don't) have in this turn. I know it's wiser to just brake and wait a few seconds but I would like to know if some type of technique could be applied. It's difficult to test this because there never is a plan B if it goes wrong.
You do some great vids for bike handling but once you have some skills with your bike here are some tips to keep you safe, Paying attention to the road as far has you can see is IMHO one of the safest ways to ride but not all the time just make sure you know what's coming, I have only been knocked off a bike twice and both times when I was overtaking a slower or stationary vehicle when there is a junction on the left just after, so I don't overtake near left-hand junctions. Oh! and one other thing never believe an indicator on another vehicle. I'm from the UK btw we ride on the left :) I can add more info to stop you all ending up in traction or worst still a coffin if you like.
Everything well said! Thanks for this. Cheers!

6:03 That graph should have an oval at the horizon with a question mark and a skinny oval on both side of the road extending to the the horizon with a question mark. You should ALWAYS be waiting for that deer that's hidden down in the ditch getting ready to jump on the road, the drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road to appear from the horizon or any other HIDDEN hazard to appear at any moment.

Ok yeah I somewhat have to disagree with the countersteering one. Try pushing the handlebar to the left while you bike is at a stop and then push it forward. It will go to the left. There is a speed at whoch point countersteering starts to work but its incredibly low like maybe 3 or 4 kmh. Just a lil nitpick
Excellent video!
