On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Since everyone writes this, it's necessary, I suppose 🤷, so here we go. Disclaimer: Ride at your own risk, you are responsible for your own safety. Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!
Simple yet underrated advice. We all find ourselves becoming overconfident from time to to time till we're reminded of our sensibilities after a close call.
I once took my 150 cc bike to the workshop which was just 80 meters away without proper gears. Dog suddenly came right in front of the front tire from the corner. Managed to avoid hitting the dog but I crashed and returned home with abrasion all over my hand. From then on I wear gears even if its just to sit on a bike. Trauma 🤣🤣🤣
Hello my friend
This is a really profound video of great help and validation.
I primarily use a bicycle to go back and forth to work , i am a midnight security officer, i also carry water and groceries on the bike, i wear full gear on my bicycle whether it is 100 degrees like now in summer or minus 8 it was last winter
I travel about 3500 miles per year like this
There are thousands of potential dangers on each trip always of a different kind even after 5 years
I try to apply all your teachings even on my pedaling bicycle
Then when i use my 2023 tiger 850 i imagine i am in the cockpit of a fighter jet
Everything is to the highest level of preparation and i take nothing for granted
I am 57
I have also studied piano and guitar
And there were thousands and thousands of hours i spent playing one passage over and over whether it was mendelssohn, debussy, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, and many others just to know it as if i sat with those people and spent a lifetime studying this art of studying
This i do also with my motorcycle training
I will never take anything for granted with it and try to be as prepared as possible
I cannot afford a car and i enjoy the two wheel experience
Thank you so very much for truly having a Vast knowledge and that you care very much to teach me thru your videos
All happiness to you my friend
Take care
always interesting to watch a how a beginner or new rider will travel through quiet town on their motorcycle. then later compare to how the police or delivery rider will do the same route. then see which parts of an expert will copy and which they will reject. Nice video
Great advice to think about yourself in third person. I will certainly use this from now on. Many Thanks. :)
My bro. I bought a motorcycle. Im in Peru. And your video has helped train become an aware rider. Please about lane splitting. To do it properly. Thank you
excellent video about things we usually ignore when riding.
Great advice. As a new rider, I needed this reminder😅 going above what I’m comfortable sometimes
We all do sometimes!😁
Nice tip: if you think others are idiots for doing idiotic things, think of it for youself too.
I consider myself to be King of the Universe, so I always refer to myself in the 3rd person anyway! 😅 (Except in this comment, of course…)
Seriously though - I don’t want to think of myself as an idiot, which is why I watch your channel (and a few other good ones, too)! 🤙🏾
Another beginner mistake is to think that to become a faster rider, you need to become bolder. So they become bolder and bolder, and are riding scared all the time, and then they crash.
To become faster, you need to improve your skills. If you are ever scared, then you are riding above your ability. You should be calm and in control 100% of the time.
“Fundamental attribution error” is what you are trying to correct for in your “third person” trick.
Another excellent video reminder!
Have you finally purchased new bike? Congratulations! What model it is?
Also, footage is very enjoyable you feel yourself in this traffic like a fish in water, though it's quite tight.
Nope, not purchased, just rented:) It's Bajaj boxer 150, nice bike overall, though brakes are crap 😁
@@MotoControlEn thanks for response! I supposed it was a small bike, though had no idea what exactly it was.
I've heard something about this model, in my opinion the main issue is unconventional gears. I mean it doesn't have only 1 gear below neutral, but something like 4-3-2-1-N instead. Suppose this is very bad for beginner riders because it can develop a bad habit for future, in case they want to get something bigger. But what about brakes, as I know some variations provides disk brakes on front, it's way better that older design.
@@wonniethepoop7856 Yes, it has weird shifting pattern, but you get used to it in about half an hour. But yeah, occasionally I upshifted instead of downshift, was kind of embarrassing 🙃 And yes, mine was with drum brakes, I suppose disc brakes are much better. Drum brakes are weak and spongy as hell.
How do you like your new home country?
Awesome so far!
Another common sense tip. Always drink heavily before riding, this will help you feel really good when you crash and prevent any pain from ruining your day.
LOL Just kidding. That's crazy. Don't do it.
What make and model of bike are you riding in Argentina?✌🏽
Rented a Bajaj boxer 150, it's pretty popular here
@@MotoControlEn Thanks, ride safely. Adios!
