Master the friction zone | What's the secret?
You practice all the slow riding techniques...Head and eyes looking where you want to go, Friction zone, little throttle, little pressure on the rear brake, but you are still not smooth enough.
Here we show you how to Master The Friction Zone, Including one technique police motor officers learn in the first week in motor school.
Enjoy and go out and try it, your Friction zone riding will become much more smoother.
Tanks for watching.
Becoming a more safer and smoother rider doesn't happen by accident. Practice just once a week even if you only have a 5 - 10 minutes.
Try this technique, and you WILL notice an improvement your skills.
I'm not saying Never use your brakes....By all means use them if you must...Just slightly less pressure.
👍
so true! Just 5-10 minutes practice makes a difference. Been riding since 2014 but never practiced slow speed stuff and always struggled until watching technique videos. Simple stuff like turning my head and eyes and the friction zone mastery helps so much with slow speed stuff. Kinda feels like learning how to ride all over again, keeping it exciting :). Great video and tips
@@FCT8306onTwoWheels Yeah we try to get in at least two practices a week, even if its only 5-10 each. And you are not alone, we all struggled with the slow stuff, but once you get...man riding is sooo much fun. thanks for watching and commenting.
I appreciate it!
Do Offer A Class Or A Book On Your Skills? I Have New Touring Bike But Can’t Ride It..
@@famoustjackson2010 Hey Famoust I'm just seeing your comment. We have training sessions on Sunday mornings, however because of the Pandemic, we canceled our schedule. However we were still having smaller sessions, but it is also on hold for the summer, until our return from our trip. We are expected to return in November.
Again I apologize for the late reply.
U have an easy listening voice to follow. No stress just practice.
Thanks Kona, I appreciate that.
That was by far the best demonstration I've seen. I've been riding for over 3 decades and I'm still learning.
Btw, this is the first time your channel has been recommended to me. Subbed and notified. Thanks, from Blighty.

Thanks! I appreciate that.
Thanks for the help... I needed it
My Pleasure Grey...I'm happy that it was helpful.
Ride safe.
Excellent video! I remember when I took the M.S.C. our instructor touched on the friction zone, explaining the clutch to throttle ratio. I use the latter of the technics, let me explain...I'm a shorter rider with a big bike Harley Road Glide Special, so being able to maneuver, in tight areas is a must. thats where mastering the friction zone comes in handy.
P.S. I fact checked myself last night, 10 pm practicing the "zone" U turns and circles! thanx again for the videos Rich n Kake, Keep up the good work....#BootsandJeans
Hey Dave Appreciate the insightful comment. Fact checking is always good, Most think that if they get something right one time it should be enough. However motorcycle are a different monster. I always said "getting it right once is luck, 2 - 10 times is gaining experience, 10 or more times without mistakes...that's skills".
Keep it up my brother and continue to fact check yourself.
Roll safe.
Thank you sir. Great advice
You are very welcome Eliazer...Much appreciate it.
First time viewer, you are good at this!

Video is appreciated. Thank you
You are welcome H. Wayne, I'm just passing on information. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the info bruh! You made it make so much since!
Thanks for watching and glad you liked it. Yeah just a slight pressure on the rear brakes or none at all. just use the friction zone to control the speed.
i love it... Great job. i will practice
Thank you Michael...Just a little practice will do us all good. Have fun.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Andrea, we appreciate it.
Great info, thanks you very much. I just bought a Triumph Bonneville T120 & use to ride all the time. I’ve never even payed attention to the friction zone or even turn where are you look. I just did it all by instinct and the feel of the bike and engine . I’m getting great info and technical tips, from your channel. Keep up the good work , I really appreciate it.
Congrats on your new bike, may you enjoy many many miles and years together. I appreciate you watching and glad that you are getting great info. It means the world to me.
Have a great day and ride safe.
I learned a lot from this video. You were thorough in your explanation and demonstrations. There were no distractions (bad singing), which allowed me to concentrate on your instruction. Thank you very much.
Awesome, thank you! Love "There were no distractions (bad singing)," I could redo it and sing if you like. lol. Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you, I have a 2018 Road King . I have watched a lot of videos this one is one of the best thank you again!
You're welcome Jose! Thanks for watching and the kind words.

Thank you,Sir....great help🇨🇦
Happy to help…thanks for watching
Good class - thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it, We appreciate you watching.
Cool video, learn about the friction zone is always a good trick!
Thanks Don I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Really great video. Thanks
Thanks I appreciate it.
Thanks for the tip. I will be practicing more.
Excellent! We still try to get in at least one practice session a week.
Thanks for watching, We really appreciate it,
Really great information 👍🏽. Great job guys.
Thanks Wood, I appreciate that.
I am in the process of learning feathering (mastering ) the clutch, when you find the sweet spot for the clutch the motorcycle is so smooooth. excellent video thank you/
Yeah once you get it...It is so Smooooooth,. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great Vid!!....Well Done...Thanks
Thanks Don, I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Have a great day.
Thanks for a great video, with good information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good solid info bra keep it coming 👍🏿🙏🏿
Will do Jonathan, I appreciate you brother.
Thanks Y'all!!! I practice on my GSXR at least twice a week in my neighborhood. Great video.
Hey Renae...Twice a week is excellent, Most people we know don't practice twice a year.
Your are way ahead of the average rider.
Keep it up.
Thanks for watching.
Man!! You are really cool teacher!!! Thank you for these marvelous videos!!!!
Thank you I really appreciate such a kind comment.
Well done my friend ! So very important that folks ( especially those who larger bikes)master this technique ! Makes low speed maneuvering so much easier.
Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it.
Yes mastering it makes the slow speed riding much easier. Some thought I was saying not to use the rear brakes. I just was shoeing what can be done by using just the friction zone to control the speed. You get it...obviously you are a good rider.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video, sir! Just started riding a vintage geared Vespa only today. Am still a bit nervous, so this video is absolutely just what I need. Thank you from Ireland
Hey from Ireland!!!
Glad it is helpful Royal...Welcome to the world of 2 wheels. Just take is slow and you will be okay. Be sure to checkout our Advance Slow Riding & Skills Enhancement play list.
Thanks for the video, I'm about to start riding for the first time, looking up all the techniques I can to help me properly control the bike. Definitely one of the better videos on this.
Thanks Michael...I'm glad it helps. And welcome to the world of motorcycles, Just take your time, go slow and be consistent. with practicing.
Thank you Sir. I'm new to riding the big bikes and what you just showed me is great
Great to hear that Peter! Glad that this was helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Good lesson. I'll give it a try
Thanks Dale...Go for it and let me know how you did.
Thank you! Wish I had you as a instructor. Patient and kind an. Brilliant instructors and information. Look at you, out here saving lives!
Much love
Thank for the complement I really appreciate it.
Thank you! I am working on mastering the friction zone.
Thanks for watching...I''m sure you will be teaching it in no time.
Very clear video Sir! Thanks fir sharing
You are welcome...We appreciate it very much.
Nice demonstration.
Thank you Sooooo much. I really appreciate it.
Excellent Excellent Video. Great Explanation and Example.
Glad to hear that Pistol Pete...I really appreciate it.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, will start practicing with my 2020 goldwing. 👍
You can do it! Hey Ted, do you have the DCT? If so how are you enjoying it?
Great instructions
Glad you think so! Thank you OSU999
great info thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Appreciate the comment.
By far the simplest explanation of the friction zone. Not taking away from others but the removing the foot from the brake sold for me. GREAT JOB
Man I really appreciate that.
I’m brand new to riding, I’m going to try this and let you know how I do. Thank you!
Returning rider here after 30 years. Great demonstration and explanation of the friction zone. Subscribed!

Glad it was helpful Diane...It is always a continuous learning process.
And welcome aboard, We appreciate it.
Excellent instruction and presentation. Well done.
Thank you kindly Fred, I really appreciate that.
i love it bro!
Thank you Issan. I really appreciate it.
Very good information and example, I will use this technique as soon as the days begin to get warmer. Again thank you for the information.
Hey Faheem, Thanks for watching.
Definitely give it a try. You'll find with just a little practice, you will get much smoother riding in the friction zone without the breaks. Then using the breaks (only as needed) will enhance the friction zone.
Thanks for commenting.
Hey Rich, solid content on here! Great meeting you up at grizzly peak today. I appreciate the support and motivation. Hope y’all had a good ride home. #LegacyTalk
Hey it was great meeting you also. Man the sunset was nice we really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the stickers also, We will be watching you and wish you much success.
Ride and stay safe.
I am inspired. Thumbs up, subscribed, bell hit, ulr in favourites. Well done, I appreciate your excellent training.
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to our channel 2002drumsonly.
We appreciate you subscribing and the compliment.
Have a wonderful day.
You made a good point about doing the U turn without the brake. I always find myself relying on the rear brake during the turn which makes the bike want to stand up so I have to add clutch and throttle to make it through. I’m going to try your way next time thanks for taking the time to make this New Subscriber. Ride safe.
You're exactly correct...Too much brake stands the bike up and the slower you go it wants to tip over.
Hard braking also makes it more jerky. Little presure braking or no brakes will make the turns much smoother.
When you start, use a large 30'+ U-turn without brakes then bring it in to the 24' as you get comfortable.
Thanks for subscribing we really appreciate your support.
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Morocco, North East Africa.
Your are so very welcome. Greeting from California!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it...
Thanks for watching.
Thank you guys for demonstrating how to properly operate the friction I watched seven other videos and ALL of them was Boo-boo a waste of time you guys are doing a good job thank you
WOW! Thanks for that wonderful compliment. We really appreciate that.
Hi Ric, was nice meeting you today at the dealership and share some motorcycle and dive adventures. Stay in touch, Nathan. 2015 gl1800 40th anniversary just like yours. 👍
Hey Nathan...Man, it was a pleasure talking with you. We have a lot in common. We are hitting the road soon but I will keep in touch.
@BootsandJeansRiders
Any comments on going dark side? With all your miles would be interesting to hear.
Great demonstration, thanks for sharing. It will be a new learning experience when you move to a DCT later i think. But I have confidence you will master it too!
Yeah Gregory definitely a new learning experience...I had a chance to ride one this year. I made circles but not tight as I would like. Soon as I get one, its to the parking lot I will go.
Great tip. I subscribed.
Welcome to our channel and Thanks for the sub! We realllly appreciate it.
New Subscriber! Excellent video, Thank you!

Videos like this are great
Thank you we Josh appreciate that.
Great skills and great speaking voice. Nice, informative video. Be safe!
Thanks Luvneeders, I appreciate the kind words.
Some thinks we are saying never use rear brakes. We made this to show all you need is very little pressure on the brakes. Friction zine is the key to it all
Glad you liked it.
Just came across your video, I watched a police instructor before, I have to say, your video was more informative than all the others. Great job with the lesson .very helpful.
Thank you!!
Thank you Craig I really appreciate that.
Very helpful video
Glad to hear that Robert, I really appreciate that.
Shame your not in the UK mate, i would love to have you as a teacher. I'm a new rider so tips like this is really helpful. Thank you :)
Hey Ginger I'm glad it was helpful. I wish we could make it there. Your riding requirement are more strict then here, so I'm sure you will be just fine.
We just say practice as much as possible and you will develop muscle memory quickly.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job, You guys have a great channel gong
Thank you so much! We appreciate the compliment.
Nice work.
Thanks Doug, Glad you liked it.
That's some great bike control.
Thanks Jaie, It just takes practice, not a lot, we just are consistent than most.
Thanks for watching.
Good job need more
Thanks Hot Rod Hog. Always trying to improve riding skills.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Much appreciated.
Good video
Thanks we appreciate you watching and commenting.
Stay safe.
I subscribed because it was the best demonstration on TH-cam
WOW! Thanks Canadianloon we appreciate the awesome comment.Welcome to our channel, thanks for subscribing it means the world to us.
Stay safe and well.
You earned it.
You deserve recognition.
That last bit about getting as high as you can on the bike and becoming one with it really resonates after my recent ride to Burning Man.
Yeah Luke...It makes it easier to maneuver. How was Burning Man
Rode the police bike, Road King, for 11 years but now want a Goldwing. I've ridden a few Goldwings and tried to do the u-turns but I haven't figured out foot position to avoid my foot from making contact with the ground in the turns. Excellent video! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Charles.
Yeah I know what you mean...Because the GW don't have floorboards most of us ride with our toes passed the pegs and forget to reposition during U-turns. Making out feet touch the ground before the pegs touch. However that all changes with a little practice.
Happy New Year
Thanks for watching.
Telling you, here in Sweden it's not really allowed - more than just occasionally - to use the rear brake at the creep zig-zag test. To get the rider's licence. I haven't understood why, since the RB supplies stability, but this was a wake-up call for me. One must control every situation behind the handlebar.
Well it's seems easier to get a MC license in the US than any other country. So I'm sure your skills are higher than the majority here. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments.
You make it look so easy!
Give it a try Jason...It will get easier with practice.
@@BootsandJeansRiders I'm on my street glide today, hopefully I can practice this soon! Great video!
Great Jason, let us know how your practice goes.
Brilliant!
Thank you Alfred...

Good solid video
Thanks Charles...Appreciate the comment.
Thanks for watching.
Well done Rich. Good riding cranking out those no brake u-turns. And good explanation of the friction zone. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to this video setting the cones etc. Only thing that could have made it better is more of your lovely assistant. 😉 I hope you're both enjoying your New Years day.
Thank you for watching and commenting .
I will definitely make sure to have in front of the camera more.
