I'd like to add that when you look down the road at traffic, take a good hard look and ask yourself, "what's wrong with this picture." Seeing a car on the side of the road, is he about to get back on the road suddenly? Cruising down a section of road that allows for passing, is there an impatient driver about to pass multiple cars and not see me? A car at the end of a driveway, is he getting his mail or about to go on a milk run? Is that car full of teens leaving school aware of their surroundings at all? ENJOY the ride, motorcycles are great, but NEVER get complacent. Oh, and "never surprise the tires" is some of the best, succinct advice ever given.
My basic rule: don't have an attitude. A driver may try to be an asshole. Or just be distracted or neglectful. It's easy to know the rules and act by them. Rules are great for when things go wrong. It's harder to observe a situation, and ask yourself what's the worst that could happen, and what's the safest action in that moment. How you treat drivers when things are about to go sideways will influence how they view bikers in general.
"Don't surprise the tire"
That's a good one.
Cheers from Brazil!
7 year olds ,they can be so clear-cut.
After six years and 60,000 km of city commuting, I’m back to square one as I learn to ride wide open twisty country roads. I can already see just how useful your videos are going to be! Thanks from Australia!!
You warn that there is no magic bullet, and I agree, but man this video was excellent. "Wait for the weight." "Don't surprise the tire." "Stay ahead of the aircraft." Those are all magic bullets of a sort, and easy to remember. Thanks for sharing, this series always gives me something to think about and work on before I ride again (which for me is in about 30 minutes, lol).
Agree!!
What is a magic bullet? Is it like a magic tablet?
0:41 Complacency is the enemy
2:37 Wait for the weight - Brake patiently and progressively, not suddenly
5:21 Question tradition - There is a lot of bad advice in the motorcycling community
7:09 Jazz - it's unpredictable - don't expect the next corner to be the same as the last, don't expect a familiar road to remain unchanged
9:08 Tires - maintain the pressure, monitor wear and age, replace earlier rather than later.
11:21 International community laughs at US healthcare
11:53 Apex - Better later than sooner
14:00 Stay ahead of the motorcycle - pay attention to the road ahead.
"International community laughs at US healthcare" Made me chuckle.... Because, well, it's true. 🤣
5.08 is damn true
Lisa Jones well, that doesn’t explain all the people from other countries who are lined up at our major medical centers who came here for the best medical care in the world.
People who are naive who haven’t travelled around the world and spent time in hospitals in other countries can make these uneducated statements! I for one will not. I have spent time in hospitals abroad and I assure they are not better. Far from it!!! Try to see a doctor in the UK for a sinus infection. By the time you get in 6 months later it will be healed for sure!
Add to that, it’s not the medical community that is responsible for the high cost of medical treatment, it’s the litigation attorneys. Turn on any TV channel in the US and you’ll see commercial after commercial telling you how you can sue someone! This has driven the price of malpractice insurance to astronomical level thus having a trickle down effect to the consumer.
Besides it’s not the collar bone that cost so much, it was the helicopter it took to fish the guy out of the canyon because he was riding on the street like he was on a track!
I laughed when I saw that comment inserted. Not sure why. US is way down on the list of all factors regarding quality health care markers: infant mortality, access to care, chronic diseases, medication overprescribing and errors, and I can go on and on. Our system is broke and it needs to be fixed. Now get back on that bike and practice good riding habits cause you can't afford to repair your body in our broken for profit hospitals, by doctors motivated by profit. Been there...its no fun being a doctor anymore.
Great! Thank you for the knowledge..
“Don’t surprise the front tire”, LOVE IT!
to be fair, you can surprise the rear pretty easily as well if you're being abrupt, so don't surprise either of them
U should only surprise the tyres if it's their birthday
@@Adrenalean767 by changing them??
@@cloudwalker679 lol
I never ever want not to keep learning !!
I had been ride since 2015. 3 years of underbone(small bike below 150cc) about 2 year of sport bike 250cc(ninja250). All my accident is because of my fault. 😂😂 thank god im still alive and having lot of luck when heavy accident. I had found this vid about a year or so and my riding experience is much better and awesome. Come back just to refresh and see if i had made mistake without noticing.
Ps: i ride my bike about 120km(distance)/daily just from home to my workplace. 🤣 so i exposed with a lot of risk. This kind of video helps me a lots. Thank you.🙏🏼😁😁
I have been riding for 5 years already.
Your videos reasured me that there is nothing wrong with feeling the need to practice some skills more than others.
Thank you for the great information and for supporting a more responsible way of riding.
❤
Definitely going to binge watch this channel.
I've never thought about how the outside of each turn is the cleanest due to the ways cars handle. That's a brilliant tip.
Another excellent video, Dave. Much appreciate your effort and the quality of work you do on these.
These tips are priceless. And with good sense was well. And if i could add something in this context i would say that we could also had the Pareto's Law: 80% (of the result) is the rider (tecnic), 20% is the bike (the tool). Thanks.
After watching many hours of motorcycle videos I think this channel is very professional, progressive and science based. I love it. Thanks for the great info .
It's only my second year of riding and your tips are not only invaluable, but possibly life- saving. Thank you.
"everything. slows. down."
yes! yes! yes! ohmygod - I love this so much!
I remember when I saw the movie Biker Boys and Fishburne's character vision turned into a tunnel. I was like wtf?! until one day in Brooklyn on Atlantic avenue that happened to me as I raced to catch a green light. ....scared the hell out of me. I could see the end, but I also realized I couldn't see the sides.
decided it wasn't worth the risk. and (mostly) rode safe since.
plan. ahead. (riding is a metaphor for life!)
thanks for this
My Grom may not be the fastest or necessarily the best first bike, but 2 years later and I am one with my Grom, from trail braking to being comfortable leaning way over, riding motorcycle is quite the experience and trying to improve myself over time is very addicting. I can definitely say that the Trail braking video made a ton of sense once I start riding the mountain road. Great video as always!
"It's not the bow, it's the archer" I've met more fantastic riders on small or mid-sized starter-level bikes than I have on expensive 1000cc superbikes.
I started on a 2004 Yamaha Zuma lol. First hard lesson I learned was “don’t surprise the tire”. A handful of front brake in a panic situation earned me some road rash.
First motorcycle.. cbr 1000rr 04 repsol.. loving every moment of this experience.. but I also love learning new skills to test.. 2week in many years to come. God willing..!! ❤ 🏍️
The way you present is the best on TH-cam. Love your content. Keep it coming!!!!
Love what you have to say, ive been riding longer than many and your tips are absolutely spot on.
I think this was one of the best videos about riding that I ever saw. Thanks!
Thank you Dave for this great video - Love the way you explain techniques and tips for better riding. Now waiting to have my bike un-wintered to start practicing.
"One year experience repeated twenty times" lol.
Wait for the weight is the best advice I've ever heard.
Love the tips. Keep up the great work.
I love these videos. I've been riding for 35 years, and I always want to keep learning. These are great guys! Thank you so much for putting them up...
Thanks for posting all the riding tips! I watched the corning, trail braking, and this video and went out and tried the techniques highlighted .... Holy Cow! after just a few turns I found myself corning faster and leaving the corner faster!! Thanks for the help!!
Always SO informative, thanks y'all LOVE YOUR STUFF :)
Love the videos, thanks. A lot of good, common sense - and information which can difficult to find or learn. Definitely worth doing advanced courses - I'm back on a bike after 20 years off - I'm learning stuff I never knew I didn't know. Observation, slow skills, track days - having a lot of fun doing it and enjoying my riding with more confidence and skill. Keep safe during COVID-19!
Awesome video and greqt tips! Wow, the concept and understanding the physics when it come to braking 🤯 and the tip of staying ahead of the aircraft 👍🏼
Such a gem of a video i Was getting late for the work still watched complete video cause it was so good you have to watch it in one session.
Some of the most precise and useful motorcycle riding tips here on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
YOU ARE SIMPLY GREAT. Full Stop.
Learnt So Much. (and still learning)
THANK YOU.
Loved the video, Great content, keep going man! TH-cam needs content creators like you👍👍
always great content from you guys. all this stuff needs to be listened to, rehearsed and put into practice. Like anything, you never stop practicing the fundamentals
I remember you from the trail braking video and here you are with another blockbuster !!! Great tips
Dave... another great video... I use different words with my students at Team Oregon, but the concepts are the same. Again thanks for sharing and another great video. Outstanding job.
That one point alone, "Stay Ahead of The Motorcycle" is gold. Thank you.
Thank you Dave for this and other great videos on motorcycle handling. Canyon Chasers vids are by far the the most technical and inspirational videos I have seen. So easy to understand and follow, you are now my first ‘go to’ for riding improvement. In November 2019 I’ll be 72 and have been riding since I was 16yrs old. I particularly liked the comment “ does this rider have 20yrs experience, or 1yr of experience repeated 20times.
I currently ride a Blackbird and KTM Superduke 1290 and try constantly to improve all my skills and pass them on to my students. Thanks again from UK
I just started riding and your videos and advise are by far the best i've seen. Thank you.
Didnt know what to expect, first time I see your videos. Gotta say it's very good stuff! Always good to have a few reminders at the start of a season :D
A great reminder - well written and narrated with really useful examples and illustrations. Thanks!
As a new rider I find these vlogs awesome advise and knowledge is how we try to stay out of the hospitals. Manage our risk was repeated over and over at my safety M2 course. Thank you for putting these vlogs together. Now, I am off to try to do what you have talked about in this video.
Safety gears are very important :)
Really well done!! Great advice!! Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👍
Stay ahead of the aircraft! Probably the best advice I've heard in a long time..
Thank you for giving out such a great content Dave!!!
The video earlier not only made me ride again confidently after a crash but made dramatic improvements in my riding.
I cant wait to ride again and check out the best part that I liked about this video "stay ahead of the motorcycle!!!"
Will surely let you know the improvements that you make in my ridning.
Thank you soooooooo much!!!!
Wow! Your comment gave me goosebumps! I'm thrilled that we've been able to help improve your motorcycle journey! Thank you for letting us know!!
Top notch advice, masterfully done video. We all need to consistently strive for excellence on every ride. Thanks for the inspiration, and the reminder.
I love Jazz and I promise not to surprise the tire.
Love your videos. Thank you very much!!
Thank you for a very good video explaining the dynamics involved in riding a bike , I think you are a great teacher and best advice is "staying ahead of the motorcycle", I think has got me out of tight spots many times before anything bad happened.👍
Great info guys!...really appreciate the sound advice and things to think about every time I go out.
Great, Great, Great video and information! i LOVED the "stay ahead of the aircraft" you put that into perfect perspective in relation to the Bike. Thank you
Absolutely brilliant video! Cheers man!
Great tips. Keep them coming. Find your tips super helpful. Thanks for sharing
You’re a great teacher and lecturer. Very pragmatic aswell. Great work. Keep it up
Fantastic video for all motorcyclists, not just gp-fast squids. The part about entering a turn wide and late-apexing brought back memories from my road racing days (Late ‘80s, early ‘90s). All of the advice presented here was great, hopefully it’ll save some lives or hides. I’m going to check out the video about trail braking next since all 3 of my crashes involved losing the front-end in a turn. Great content and you have a new subscriber.
Excellent tips especially, stay ahead of the aircraft 👊🏽
Great video, Dave! Loved the cameos.
Very good.
Great information with clear description.
Thank you
Great content as always. Thanks you.
Excellent tips as always. I'll keep these in mind once the season starts.
Tip one and the most important one, when riding fast ie not adhering to the traffic signs should only be done at a track. If you go as fast as the traffic signs "suggests" you will probably never ever be in any kind of accidents.
Thank you for all the great work you are doing!
I find the seasonal nature of riding where I live, means I start each season with rusty skills, though they polish-up relatvely quickly. By the end of the season, I'm feeling at one with the bike, This channel and videos are a huge help!
Very valuable advice. Thanks!
Awesome. Your kindness is appreciated. A million thanks.
I am grateful for you’re best life saving lessons !this will save someone there life,thank you the best friend!!!
Great commentary, key points and visuals. Thank you.
as a pilot myself I like how you took an aviation saying and mixed it into this bc more people should think like that. never stop learning people. and come back to stuff you already learned bc you'll learn something new.
I've been riding almost 10 years now and have put quite a few miles and speed records behind me at the track but trust me when I say I SERIOUSLY WISH I HAD FOUND YOUR CHANNEL EARLIER! This is gold, and I wish this gets out to more of my fellow riders, especially the new ones. Complacency surely is the enemy. Thank you so much for putting in the hard work for making this content.
Thank you so much for the praise!! It is greatly appreciated!! 😎🥰
The most informative motorcycle channel...thank you for making thorough videos Dave! Forza Ducati and ride safe!
Thank you. Coming back to riding after about 25 years and realizing I've lost some skills. I'm riding a z400 and enjoying the learning curve. Bought the book Sport Riding Techniques as well as Keith Code's Twist of the Wrist 2 and have been practicing the techniques on some less traveled twisty roads near home. Having a blast. Appreciate learning about new techniques I had never heard of and sure do love the new bikes with so much torque and power.
thank you so much I love your advice honestly it's lifesaver
I really enjoyed this video and your hand technique was extremely helpful. Also the video with the handlebars was pretty awesome.
Thank you
Thanks for the vids. As an everyday commuter/canyon carver for the past 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your work.
Wish we had something like this to watch during my squidly days in the 90's to shape me up to be a better, safer rider.
Keep up the good work and the rubber side down!
Ha! Me too. I spent years trying to unlearn all that crap from my squidly '90s days as well.
Wait for the weight! I can't WAIT to practice this technique - many thanks!!
I just returned from 15 years away from bikes...these vids are exactly what I needed to get my head back in the game....
Now to start practicing!
I definitely feel riding a motorcycle is closer to flying a plane than driving a automobile. You can get away with poor decisions in a car much more often than when riding. So many times when I've screwed up on a bike, it's because I got complacent.
So far the Canyon Chasers videos have been spot on. 'You Need to be Trail Braking Everywhere' changed my riding tremendously. Soon after I saw that video, I took the Total Control IRC course. Both were phenomenal training for me. Just be to able to put into practice a simple tip like changing my center of gravity, just by leaning my torso past the center line makes far more stability, that I can actually feel. 7
Tips to Become a Better, Faster and Safer Motorcycle Rider
1 & 2 videos are awesome as well. Thank you,
Nice illustration of very practical matter! Love to see more of it👍
Superb, guys, just superb. Thx.
Thanks for making these excellent videos!
Great advice. Your Awesome.
Brilliant stuff. Why isn't this video getting a million views? It deserves that.
Great video and awesome tips! Thank you!
Great video with information beyond the basics everybody else talks about!
Thank you so much for these awesome vids.... very instructional and informative.... thanks to your vids, I've started to really improve my trail breaking..... thanks again...
You are fantastic! Thanks for all the great advice!
Thank you very kindly!
This is fantastic. Thanks bro
Thank You.
I always get a lot out of your videos. You've helped me become a better rider.
Glad to hear it!
the one aspect of riding that gets so many people into twitchy situations is people never staying ahead of the motorcycle, never looking ahead to plan out their course. When they suddenly react, they surprise the tire.
Ending song sounds so much like a Tool song :D
Thanks you for this video, I can show this to my little cousin who is going up to a 300cc from a 125cc
“Had to lay her down brother”. Never gets old.
You are awesome. These are the best!
The break advice is really helpful, I have 3 crashes just because of mishandling the front break. Thanks!
thank you very much highly appreciated your tips
I am a pro jazz musician and life long bike rider. The analogy with jazz is a very good one!! Great video, thanks!
Excellent video, excellent advice!!
I like jazz. But smooth jazz. No crazy left turns and such.😄
Brilliant! Thanks!!
