      Just got my msf card in the mail this morning. I'm planning a trip to the dmv in the morning. The bike I chose has clip ons and it feels completely different from the bike I spent all last weekend on. My plan is evening, low to no traffic , side street and empty parking lot practice. If I still feel uncomfortable after a couple weeks with the clip ons I'll transition to a more upright handlebar. I got the 700 clx sport and have noticed quite a few have chosen to switch out to a more upright handlebar.

    I just went out there and kept practicing everyday(even if it meant stall or three) so I learned rather quickly. I knew it was common sense to learn and master low speed maneuvers, slow downing and stopping. The better control you have the more confident you'll be. Being able to navigate safely and smoothly out of parking lots, gas stations, neighborhoods, tight spaces and a area prominent with people is essential as a rider. If I were to tell anyone, don't worry about going fast learn how to go slow. Driving slow is essential to driving fast.(if you get my point of view)

      Agreed, I spent so much time low speed driving in storage yard. It was definitely a learning curve. When started going on the streets realized why it's so easy to get in trouble on a motorcycle. The faster you ride the easier and more stable the motorcycle feels. Gives a false sense of skill. Doing slow speed figure eights brings back to earth.

    This is one of the things the examiner may ask you to demonstrate during the moto-test in Germany. Ride 25-30 m in a straight line at walking pace (that is no more than 7-8 km/h), without deviating too much, without going over the speed limit and of course without dropping the bike.
    What they will definitely ask you to demonstrate, however, is to do a slalom at walking speed.
    Therefore knowing how to use the clutch and rear break is an absolute must. Also, you look down, you fall. You always ALWAYS choose a point in the distance, fix your gaze on it and off you go.

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Neat test! If you just look down, it doesn't mean you'll fall...maybe new riders would tend to start leaning over about to fall but it's not 100%. You can look wherever.

Age is just a number and does NOT affect your abilities in chosen fields.

    Long time viewer, and love the messages you promote Greg. I've watched and practiced many of your techniques & belts. I've always been an advocate of "comfortable being uncomfortable" as it leads to growth when you're intentional about it.
    Because of your exhaustive library of top-notch vids, I've advocated to all those who also seek out improving their safety & skill through PDR (practice, drill, rehearse) to visit your channel. This leads me to the greatest accomplishment, not my skill set, but getting my better half on 2 wheels. 1st day in a clean/open lot we spent hours building muscle memory with different drills on smoooooth throttle control, feeeeeling the clutch's friction zone, and squeeeeeezing the front brake. Proud to say she rides way better than many "beginners" I've witnessed though she may have only about 10 hours on the bike. It truly shows how poorly many value their life. Has it been perfect? No. She's stabbed the brake at first like most, but now you can see the forks compress, tire squish and nothing is abrupt when she uses the brakes.
    Ironically I remembered this video after we did the drills, and she just rolled her eyes at me.

I just took the motorcycle training course where I live and got an fz6 (maybe not the best choice for a beginner bike) and one of the things I had trouble with in class was the exercise where we had to make multiple, sharp slow speed turns using constant throttle but varying the speed with the clutch. I figure if I can get comfortable mastering that, I should be good. It’ll get me used to handling the bike and at feathering the clutch. This channel is gonna be seriously useful. Thanks.

    In the UK, slow speed riding at a walking pace with the examiner next to you is part of the off road test.
    Even in a car park however it is expected (a fail point otherwise) that you do a shoulder check or life saver BEFORE setting off. This is drilled into you in training to make that process automatic so as to avoid any mirror blind spot problems.

      I said it on another video, but I think it’s worth repeating. A lot of skills are transferable between a bicycle and a motorcycle. I think a lot of folks would be best served by starting on a bicycle. You can drop a bicycle a hundred times and just pick it up and keep trying. Cheap to fix if you somehow managed to break something. Little to no intimidation.
      Balance, steering, how to lean and counter steer, braking- it can all be learned on a bicycle.
      The only things that you really can’t replicate is throttle and clutch technique.

  • @PaulHindt
    @PaulHindt 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your instructional style is very similar to the guys who were running the California Motorcycle Safety Program course I took before getting my M1. Definitely appreciate your methodical no-nonsense approach to motorcycle skill building.
    Slow speed clutch control is also key to mastering the DMV cone slalom and circle ride test. I failed that test the first time I tried it because I had no concept of clutch control at slow speeds. Now that I've learned this skill I can maneuver at slow speed through in all kinds of situations with ease, on both my Ninja 300 and CBR600rr.
