It’s definitely easier to ride when doing slow speed turns. I rode a Concours for 2 years at work and I loved this bike. I had to work harder when doing the patterns.
This is a great demonstration showing the impact of the lean in slow speed u turns. You got your work out putting this one together. Ride safe, train hard and enjoy!
Outstanding demonstration and the first time I’ve seen it done that way! So basically you have shown that adding lean in order to tighten up the turns is not theory, but a real fact! Lean and adjusting your speed is key. As for me on a DCT, it requires all of the above plus applying a little rear brake. Thank you for this video, and I’m sure you guys can skip going to the gym for a few days, that demo was a workout in itself! 🤣🙏🏾💪🏾✌🏾👍🏾
Howdy, what I’ve been doing is starting out with full lock 90 deg turns and gradually hold it to 110, 120, ….180 and so on.. excellent confidence builder for me.
Master the clutch and throttle, practice your U Turns in the parking lot and you will build the confidence to do full lock U Turns. When doing your U Turns be sure to drop your shoulder on the side you are turning towards and crank your head and upper body around like you are trying to see something down the road or across the lot behind you. The biggest mistake I see people make when trying to do a U Turn is lifting their shoulder, not turning their head and upper body and looking down in front of the bike. It's fine to lift the shoulder on the outside of the turn as that tend to happen naturally but the shoulder on the inside of the turn must drop away and back as you turn to look behind you. When turning the head and upper body while dropping the shoulder the bike will automatically come to full lock. By doing your U Turns this way you will be able to do a U Turn between gas pumps with room to spare.
I was going to commend you for working really hard on this video but so many ppl called that out. This was an excellent way to prove/show your point. I’m surprised the Harley had a pretty decent turning radius. Well done Paul, great visual.
It should be similar but I think the road king has a little more handlebar turn. I have a friend that rides a street glide. I am going to get is bike and see how it does.
Wow! I think the wheelbase of the Concourse is about 4 inches shorter than the Road King (60 vs. 64), but can’t turn as well. I used to just pay attention to wheelbase, but will now pay more attention to handlebar travel. Would a Yamaha FJR1300 perform about the same as a the Concourse, or better than the Road King?
I haven’t ridden one but I know a couple people who have one. I bet it’s pretty close to the concourse. It’s it also there with the Honda ST 1300. There isn’t much that beats the Road King. I am going to checkout the street glide.
Hey did you happen to see anyone who may have been lane splitting today near Bagdad road? I know its a long shot but I swear it was you shaking their finger at me.
@@ProriderCentralTexasTH-cam me too sir. I still don't think you can pull off those slow speed maneuvers on a cruiser though. The big bikes is much easier.

i learned from this video to get a road king instead of a concours

You worked hard for this one 🤪
Nice to see your son is following right in your footsteps too 😉
Dang buddy! You worked hard for that video. Holding up those heavy bikes isn’t easy! Thanks for another great video!
You bet. It was work for an old man 😂
@@ProriderCentralTexasTH-camYou did great Paul! Kudos to your son for the assist 😉🤜🏼
@@macmac3770 Thanks ha ha I could not have done it by myself for sure,
Love this...Two different bike lean angles make a difference.
Yes sir all day every day. Thank you for taking the time to watch.

Yes sir I am getting to old for that ha ha. thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
Awesome video I never thought about checking a radius before I practice with my bike🇺🇲
Thank you and thank you for watching I really appreciate it.

Thank you for watching and I did get a good workout. I am getting to old for that ha ha ha
Excellent demonstration! Now we have to figure out how to get the confidence to go to full lock and lean all the way through the turn!

Great job explaining the deference between leaning and straight up thanks Paul for the great advice have a great week
Your are welcome and thanks for watching
You have such a gift for educating on this platform. Very much enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you I appreciate that and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Excellent demonstration paul thank you
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Very good point made. It really makes a difference what you ride.
It really does all bikes aren't created equal when it comes to this. Thank you for watching.

Amazing demo brother! Thank you!!
Thank you very much and you are welcome.
Great demo. Thanks
You bet and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Great video and point well made!!
Thank and thank you for watching.
Great video
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Good stuff, thanks! God Bless!
Awesome demo ! Would a harley streetglide be a similar radius on your road king

The Kawasaki and the 2018 Goldwing must have about the same turn radius?
Yep the 2 should be pretty close. I think the Goldwing has a little less turn.
Hey did you happen to see anyone who may have been lane splitting today near Bagdad road? I know its a long shot but I swear it was you shaking their finger at me.
Yes sir that was me I was making the turn when I saw him.
@@ProriderCentralTexasTH-cam Glad we could finnaly meet sir I may have been that person you were shaking your finger at.
@@racex3721 It was a pleasure meeting you ha ha I am glad I was nice. 😁

@@racex3721 I will be at Cowboy Harley tomorrow from 11a to 3p. If you get a chance come by.
"Common knowledge" says Harleys are too big to maneuver. I ride Harleys.
This is what I hear but mine turns pretty good ha ha. Thank you for watching.
I had a concours. It was a great bike just way too top heavy.
Tough demonstration....The Lean wins every time.
I am getting to old for that ha ha. Thank you for watching.
Dudes working his butt off and his sons doing nothing but pretending to help. Kids are as lazy as it comes now days. Haha
Ha Ha when I watching the video I was working harder 🤣
He was there in case it went further then his dad could hold. At least he was there spending time with his pops. I appreciate that.

Well done, excellent demo.
Thank you and thank you for watching.
