I know... it would've been great if I had shown the GoPro clips of riding the twisties... unfortunately I somehow am missing that footage. Hopefully you couldn't tell :P

In Europe we have saying that is very true,,its, LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, ,,if you look at the ditch ,,you'll end up in the ditch .
Motojitsu is a gem. I learnt a lot from him and have been learning everyday.
Awwww... I found this video honest... An enthusiast!
Subscribing... I already am subscribed to "MJ" ... Since his Fast Eddie days... He had another name prior to that when he has only about a hundred subscribers... Hard working guy...
I liked the honesty in your enthusiasm... Go biker!!!
Was great to meet you and was fun riding with you that day! Keep at it :) Maybe I'll take a road trip to come visit you in GA this year? :)
Great to meet you and thanks for not making me cry!! 🤪🤣 The guest room or ABB is ready!!
I need a listen by you motojitsu. Great content doodle
When, NOT IF, MJ comes to Georgia would you two consider inviting subscribers out to do a mini training/ group ride type day? You both are two of my favorite motorcycle TH-camrs
I've enjoyed goth of you for years already, but the two of you together are internet gold. Your combination of eager novice and focused professional naturally generate an informative entertainment. Do it again. Do it as often as you can. You won't regret it.
I would love to meet you guys in person and I'm getting a new bike sooner.
I've been riding for 57 years, and still learning🤔😎
If you like to lean in corners, why learn to straighten them out? If you bicycle for exercise, why buy an expensive one that's easier to pedal?
I'm 74 and just started riding again after 40 years. I bought a 2000 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100cc and ride it on hilly, twisty roads in the woods. At the end of every ride, I do figure 8s and slalom in an empty parking lot. My proficiency has improved a lot in the 7 months I've owned it.
I watch tons of TH-cam videos on the subject, which anyone can do regardless of income, and get opinions from miriad advanced riders to choose from.
I give everyone plenty of room on the street, have good situational awareness, ride as if everyone else is going to do the stupidest thing possible, then prepare myself well in advance to minimize reaction time.
I also wear full-body armor, a helmet, and added engine protection/crash bars to the bike. In the first 4 months, I dropped my bike 10 times. The first 5, I had no crash bars or protective gear and got injured every time, once even sustaining a concussion. The second 5, with crash bars and proactive gear, no injuries!
Glad to see TH-camrs together, i watch you both!
Dude, MJ is literal riding goals. Love learning from his vids as a beginner rider, thank you for this video doodle (and high key jelly you got to train with him!!)
I have always been an advocate for track day riding. All these suggestions are great. But I have always felt things like trail breaking are easier to learn when you are not dealing with traffic. Many racers I talk to will not ride street anymore because they feel it's safer to race. I can see their point but I have found my track skills improved my street riding immensely.
I especially like his criticizms of your lines. Sometimes you nail it, sometimes I cringe just from the video footage. I always try to leave myself the most options for the unexpected. Your riding has blossomed, so don't take this wrong, but after riding for 44 years I STILL try and learn something every time I ride. I hope you keep doing the same!
Two of my favorite people talking about my favorite subject!! Amazing how much a very experienced rider can find that you are doing different and could improve upon... Glad you got this amazing opportunity Doodle!!
I dont usually watch videos like this because everybody thinks there a expert. ive been riding ,really fast, for 40+years,I was suprised, this guys someone i can agree with, totally agree with his method of riding.
Your willing to learn while staying humble and honest about where you are at any particular point in your motorcycling is admirable and something I strive for. Thank you for the reminder to stay true.
It's so much better to learn from the experience/mistakes of others than your own mistakes! Stay safe out there and thank you for sharing. Very informative!
Awesome video Doodle. It's so important to keep improving. I've been riding for over 11 years and the day I don't want to get better will never come.
The car conversation at the beginning reminded me of my instructor talking to me when I was learning how to drive an 18 wheeler long haul.
He said it like this, “ I am a hypocrite! You will see me doing things that contradict what I am teaching you because I have the experience and you don’t. If you do what I do, you can cause a wreck. Don’t do what I do, do what I say. Now, the reason is that I have to teach you THROUGH the points needed to get your skills to do what I do. By the end of the next few months my job is to safely get you on your own with the same skill set I have after years of driving. The difference is I have more experience, but we are supposed to have the same set of skills. Always be willing to learn and never stop learning. The day you stop learning is the day you hang up the keys as you became a danger to the public by not learning.”
Hey! I just wanted to say I really have enjoyed watching you progress and admire your focus on getting trained and practicing to gain confidence and skill! I point new riders in our area to your channel to see what is possible when you overcome your fear and anxiety about trying new things.
What a cool insight into cornering. As always love your content and presentation, keep it coming because I'm sure there's a lot of us that appreciate it.
I appreciate your willingness to try new things and better yourself as a rider. Great video!
Yeah Greg is the man. I’ve always wished I could have a one on one with him because I know there’s so much I can improve on. That’s cool you really took him serious and utilized his expertise
MJ is a vital part to the motorcycle population staying safe and alive!
Cheers from Australia 🦘
Always, ALWAYS listen to a Marine! Semper Fi! Great information Doodle, thanks for taking the time to do this and share!
Greg has a real skill explaining technique. He, Dave from Canyon Chasers and Mike from Mike on Bikes have taught me a lot, but the common thread (although they all have their different perspectives, which is healthy) is their focus on putting yourself in a good position and when appropriate using trail braking, and above all continuing to practice and improve. Just as I do with other pursuits, I will spend part of most rides practising something, and sometimes go out with the express purpose of practising one skill (midget be trail braking, or rear braking, or hating without a quick shifter, or riding on a dirt road on a road bike, or wet weather riding). Thanks for your video - hope you are enjoying your ride focused life
Man, this was a great collab. I’m following both of your channels. MJ is a great instructor and Doodle was a great student! 🙌🏼
I haven’t been on your channel for quite a while and your content has improved so much. Good stuff from Ireland
Both old you guys are so GREAT for knowledge!! Keep it coming.
Your dedication to moto-training is astounding.......🏍
Hi Doodle, a very interesting video, and an important point! you can never know it all, we're always learning, even MJ, with his vast experience! Ride as if you're invisible to motorists, is a way to stay alive. I learnt that the hard way in my very early years! Keep these type of videos coming, as there is so much to learn from them.
I love this guy direct is the best way when teaching in my humble opinion. Thanks for this doodle
I credit him for most of improvement in my riding skills. From my first bike, 390 Duke and after 2 1/2 years now on my Multistrada 1260 I still find his riding lessons so useful.
Ducati ftw!
in the opening when he was driving and talking on camera it was so nice to see that not once did he take his eyes off the road.....bravo....
Wow!! It looks like you and me both learn something. You had fun doing it!! Enjoyed the ride!!
Doodle, the quality of your channel just keeps getting better! Well done and very informative. You absolutely rock.
Instruction videos by MJ and others, combined with on-going practice and review is the reason people think I have been riding for decades. Looking forward to videos where you put newly acquired instruction to practice.
Great information Doodle...Thanks for shading.
Having spent 48 of 55 years on this rock riding anything on two wheels in mud, dirt, snow, street, fire roads, drag strip, beach, whatever, I really appreciate this discussion. One bone to pick - and it is a personal preference - in a fast right hander in the twisties without a clear line of sight, I like to stay left in the lane until I can see through to my exit, because it is much easier to tighten the turn then to come in tight, ease up and then adjust so I don't cross the double yellow. And yer man can do his thing for his reasons, and that's cool too. He also makes a great point about braking rather than downshifting. File all that under Control. You are 100% present and in total control. You're telling the bike exactly what to do through your control inputs and body positioning, with the understanding of its limits. Otherwise you're a part time passenger. Namaste, stay sticky side down
Great video Doodle!! I totally learned something
Awesome video. I am glad to hear Doodle’s reactions and learnings too. I have been riding almost 8 years and am still struggling on some of the curvy roads; I tend to slow down more than a bit. Looking for practice techniques to improve my skills…
Awesome stuff guys. Never ending info. MJ is the real deal.
Hi Doodle awesome video, very informative! Keep up the excellent job and ride safe ok!!! 👍
I had no idea MotoJitsu was so accomplished. Seems like a cool dude!
Practice over and over and over…trust your front brake…excellent video and discussion with one of the best…Motojitsu!
Thanks MJ, I heard that! I also rely on engine braking too much in curves and twisties when I should be using the brakes more. ✅ Thank you Doodle for taking one for the team and riding the MotorJitsu roller coaster!
😁❤️
I had to make an effort to think about it when riding to realize what I do, since it's sorta automatic. I pull in clutch and use brakes at same time as I'm downshifting (never had speed shifter). Then I let out clutch and adjust revs to engine brake or speed up. I think when I'm actually entering the curve, I'm engine braking or speeding up, depending on curve and line of sight.
As a new rider, i have learnt so much on your channel 👍
Fascinating - he exhibits a kind of mindfulness approach - an excellent video thanks to your being prepared to get lectured, which too many people would want to avoid
The difficult bit, using this information, hope you learn and progress Carolyn 👏👏👏👏👏. Your in a fantastic position to get better all the time....practice makes perfect. 🥰
Very informative.. always keep learning!!!
Awesome to see you hook up with MotoJitsu. I call him Sensei (Master/teacher) for respect........and also hooking up with Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino (I'm also a retired Cop). I love all three of you teachers, awesome to see you together, sharing all of your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about riding motorcycles. God Bless you all (Doodle, MotoJitsu, and Jerry) !!! Aloha from Hawaii !!!
Your the only female rider I know that’s totally committed to becoming a great rider. Keep doing what your doing, your doing great and your us along with you. Cheering for you doodle.
Thanos Etsitty- Try Twowheelsandaponytail she loves bikes and makes good vids
Wow I love it when you both drift in the sharp turns it look so hard to pull off without falling off. Still no luck riding on a motercycle yet so far
Good vid, doodle! I'm getting a lot of advice fr u. Thanks 👍
Sometimes your content is just so much _fun_ to watch. 🤟🏽👊🏽
Never stop learning. That's the best advice anyone can give, and anyone can do. Even the best at anything have room to grow, they are not the best at everything.
Unbelievable opportunity to get feedback from an instructor. As a sport bike rider all of my adult life, I learned early on the first upgrade to a new motorcycle...always get steel-braided brake lines installed. Night and day difference and it just makes you more confident.
I just watched your trip to the Dragon video and subscribed immediately. I live here in Gatlinburg and ride almost exclusively in East Tennessee mountain roads.
I did start approaching curves to hit late apex . This is a must because as you approach a curve on the outside, you must be slow enough turn in and then accelerate.
One of my Canadian friends noticed that I do not use brakes very often. I mostly never approach a curve faster than I need to navigate the curve, why get a ticket on straight sections? I do actually speed up as I approach the curve as to get maximum enjoyment of leaning and then accelerating on exit. Right after the entrance turn-in and see the line, I get a good long accelerations while exiting the curve.
I do the opposite of what your instructor says, I always downshift as I approach the entrance to a curvy section to navigate the cause with controlled engine braking. This is not especially good track day practice but I ride the hills and hollows .
That Canadian friend acknowledged that although We don’t ride all that fast and I don’t brake much, I do take the curves briskly.
The curves in the area can be very tight. I usually ride outside lane. Seen too many cagers and bikes crossing that center line in blind turns (head deep into the smartphone is a problem). I don't go crazy fast in corners in the mtns unless its a sweeper.
@@mojomanmurph1925 Going around a curve on the outside is okay but is not the best approach to be safe. A constant late apex approach is the best way to navigate curves safely. When approaching on the outside line, one naturally slows down. If you do not slow, your entry speed is too fast. That is the first point because if one hits the early apex, one cannot see if they are too fast or not and will be more likely to run out mid corner. The second point is when to turn in, as you enter and remain outside looking around the corner, always looking for the late apex or some reason to enter early. If no traffic is encountered or any bad terrain, turn in when all clear and the late apex is seen. You have the benefit of getting on throttle early to exit in good speed. If you do not do this, you risk runout or just unnecessary slow speed through the curves. Main point is it is much safer, if you waddle through a curve, you cannot move quicker to avoid trouble. It is not about fast, just navigating in a timely manner in a safe and fun way.
ya know, your always out there trying to get better, nice work!
Thank you for this video, my two favorite TH-camrs!!
I second that comment!
Those where some good tips. I very much appreciated them.
Great video! He's awesome! I've always wanted to ride a bike, but I never thought I could make my family happy by doing so. Finally, I decided to follow my dream and bought a bike. I practice 3-4 times a week in parking lots and have already put in 600 miles of driving time, mostly slow riding, in less than a month. Riding a bike is a craft that requires patience and practice. If more people understood this, we would see fewer accidents and more amazing riders on the road. That's just my opinion. Your videos are awesome!
I liked this video, I try not to be leaning into a corner with my body in the opposite direction lane. Yes I will have to practice just braking into the corner too. When I learnt how to drive my brother taught me, and he made me look as far ahead as I could see, it made keeping the car on course much easier, so that was a good thing to learn while young because it is a natural thing to do automatically.
Interesting video, love your enthusiasm; keep it up 👍
Been riding for more than 17 years now! Still Great informative videos to watch, its always fun watching your videos! You should consider travelling overseas, you have a great potential and energy to subdue any kind a terrain! Challenge yourself to limits.
Always learning, never be afraid to take (good) advice. It does seem to me that a lot of USA riders actively avoid using brakes especially the front. Pretty much all training in Britain emphasises the correct use of the brakes. One tip I learnt from our (UK) Police Instructors was to talk to yourself and comment on what you plan to do when, say, going into a blind corner.
Great info!
I can’t wait for summer, I’m off for a track day or two, teach me a few new tricks! 😜♥️👍🏽
Hi Doodle: Thanks for flying out to California to train with MJ. I’m 69 and have been riding for 50 years. You CAN teach on old dog new tricks!
It was terrifying...!!! (she said with a great big smile). You’re awesome Doodle...!!!
Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
His logic and metaphors are pretty cool to listen to
So awesome I've been following MJ since long hair days 😆
Great video!
UGHH THIS IS WHAT I LIKE ! Respecting the bike is all about practice not the actual bike itself. Glad you did this, I'm really passionate about motorcycles and I hate riders who always goes on the streets and highways then start posting bullshit on Instagram. Like this, this is what you're supposed to be doing.
Straight up my favorite guy and gal on bikes!! Thanks for the video Doodle.... IMHO if you (those who talk smack about him) can't handle how direct MJ is, you shouldn't be on a bike, cause you need heart and thick skin for that... the guy knows his stuff!! 😎😎
Good to see you learning from someone with such excellent knowledge.
Cornering on a bike, or bicycle, is just a little bit like playing soccer. Part of your attention needs to know where the ball is while running and looking ahead anyway, 'cos if you don't you're gonna collide with someone/thing/go off the road!!!!!!!! Heehee, 😀 I only just thought of it that way right this minute, and I've ridden motorcycles, on and off, for 47 years. It ain't easy!
I'm working on downshifting at high speeds. But I started on a 150 scooter, so I'm a pro at braking! I find that by practicing braking/emergency braking, leaning, lane filtering/splitting, and slow maneuvers on the scooter, I was much easier to engage in safe techniques once I got on a bike.
So awesome!
Riding a motorcycle is like a martial art, you never quite learning. Technique, finesse, and attention, and always strive to improve..🙂
I hope you enjoyed our wonderful city! It looks like you guys were in the twisties outside of Chula Vista. I ride those often and they are fun. Ride Safe!
great info...useful for sure
Thank you for the valuable information ℹ️
It is much appreciated ♥️🇺🇸♥️
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
Great Video though.... this is a great topic as we all need help in the twisties to become proficient
Great advice from MJ although I never take classes and I don't rely on that sort of learning personally.. Have met a couple of beginners that took 2 or 3 classes yet they had no confidence and Low skill, and I would never ride with them again.....
Cool I see that KTM Duke and love that machine I owned one when I was touring around in Cambodia under the Bajaj badge.. 6 speed low geared slipper clutch really snappy little bike Max out at about a 150 km per hour with bags and passenger I might add.. It was my temple adventure machine..
All great advice appreciate and even still want to want to improve and increase availabilities.. My 1st ride was on an old backfiring loud Harley 60 years ago when I was only 4 years old.. It's been a great love affair !
🙏🙏🙏
Great video.
Oh yeah! MotoJitsu is The Man!
Awesome experience 👍🏼💪🏼👌🏼
I used his app this morning for some low speed parking lot practice🤙🏼
Very informative video
Great content.
He's right track riding and road riding are different when positioning. Give yourself the best chance to survive the unexpected. Same applies for blind corners and passing going up hills.
Greg is a great teacher.
Awesome collab
Great video and what a good instructor! I find cornering in wet and rainy weather scary. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or are the standard Honda Rebel 500 tires (from the 2021 model) not good under rainy conditions? Here in Finland it rains quite a lot during summer and actually you don't see many riders when it rains, but some (mostly ADV riders) seem to have no problems cornering on a wet surface. I have to reduce much more speed to do it safely. Maybe I should just become a nice weather rider 😉
I've learned a whole lot from him just from his videos and practicing it. Sometimes he seems a bit arrogant, but he really knows what he's talking about.
A bit? You'd be hard pressed to find someone with a bigger ego.
I have always liked MotoJitsu's channel, I have been subscribed for years. Seems like a nice guy to me. I like no BS people though.
I like the braking advice. When I took my safe riders course, that is what they taught us. They also told me if I do it right in times of need my mind will automaticly go to the basics. I have 250000 miles on cruiser style bikes. No expert but this all makes good clear sense. I do not profess to be at MotJitsu level. But if you do the basics it will make you safer. And ALWAYS watch the other guy.
"like a roller coaster without the long line".....nailed it.
I love this guy. He is a street riding guru. I wish he would also do a track riding video. but then again street riding is far more important.
He has!
Another dope video! Watched a lot of instructional MotoJitsu content as well :D
He should make a shirt that says "damn" lol
So jelly you got to train with him but awesome you gave us these videos !
New subscriber and rider here ❤
Good morning Doodle ☀️
Gotta love The President. Fast Eddie.
Doodle
Great Video!!! Keep LEARNING Lady!! MJ is awesome!!!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Doodle!
Peace
🙌👏👏👏👏👏👍✌👌🤙👋🙂🌹
