    I used to fear locking the bars, afraid of tipping over. Now it brings a smile to my face. 6-MPH is about the slowest I want to travel, which keeps the bike upright.

      If you do the slow exercises at 6 mph you fail and don’t get your license in Europe. Slow exercises here are done at 3 mph

    My slow turn skills are poor, mostly because I have a fear of locking the bars, losing speed, and tipping over, and I really don't want to pick up my Limited. lol This is the first time I have seen a video that suggests a duck walk to get that feel. It's so simple, I don't know why I didn't think of it, but none of the other teaching experts have suggested it, either. THANK YOU for putting this out there. Going to try it today!

    That's the best slow-speed turning tutorial I've seen! This first phase practice is never mentioned by all the "Guru's" on PewTube but it's absolutely the best way to start out and get the feel of moving your bike with your handlebars in full lock and learning the friction zone IMHO!

    Hi Joe, Yesterday I spilled my bike making a left turn. I was demoralized. I keep a camera on me and one on the bike so I can analyze all my rides (and drops). I realized my mistakes - the first was stupid - I wasn’t in the right gear. The second was fear - I needed to turn my handlebars more but have been essentially scared of doing so for some reason. I’ve been scouring YT for videos about locking handlebars and this one really got me. Thank you for keeping it real and simple. Can’t wait to go out again today.

    @heybruh3274 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I believe one factor for success was not mentioned. Counter-balancing. It doesn't appear you use it but it is worthy of mentioning. Simmons and others mention it. As a matter of fact, in some of the more recent videos, you can actually observe Simmons scooting his 'seat' side to side when making some tight turns.
    Your videos are actually pretty good. interesting to see these after I realized that it was you that almost hit Cue in a U-Turn exercise. 🙂

    • @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures
      @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, counter balancing will definitely help. When I almost hit Cue, I got "stuck" in the turn. He was at the wrong place at the right time. However, I'm glad that happened because now we are really good friends 🤣

  • @MightySultan
    @MightySultan 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Your exercise IS THE BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE technique to doing full-lock maneuvers! By transitioning from duck-walk, the rider learns how to manage all the elements together: balance the bike/body position, handlebars at full lock, throttle/clutch/friction zone, rear brake. BRAVO!!! THANK YOU

    Thank you. I have begun to practice the duck walk part of this... will do in both directions. On my part, it is going to take lots of practice, but I am determined to get turns down. I have starts and stops to a point where I am no longer intimidated by my bike, so now, turns are next on my agenda. I hadn't ridden in thrifty years and had never ridden bikes larger than 750cc. I now ride a 2016 Indian Roadmaster and I love this bike... I practice techniques for riding every time I take the bike out for a ride... am so grateful for the insights about motorcycle riding those competent riders post on TH-cam... I recently read a review that showed Indian cruisers as being some of the most difficult to turn due to the way the handlebars lock on those bikes... however, practice makes perfect, and I will master this in due time... again, thank you.

    • @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures
      @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great suggestion. I feel pretty comfortable with left tight turns but struggle with the right. May be because the clutch is a bit of a strech but I've never really practiced in a parking lot. I'm 60 and got my bike license at 14 before I even had a car license. Its rare to need to turn that thight but handy in case you do.

      ​@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures I just got back from practicing what you showed in your video. I completed every step slowly, and I was actually surprised that I could do it!!!! . I didn't drop my bike even once in the 360s or the U-turns. I do feel much more comfortable and confident now. I also found out that since the idle seems quite high on my bike, I can actually do these 360 turns and U-turns by using only the clutch in the friction zone and a little rear brake when the front wheel wants to straighten out. SUCCESS! You helped me overcome my of 360s and U-turns!! Now I just hope the weather stays nice so that I can practice this every day. Thanks Joe!!!

    I am a super new rider and training with a Honda Grom. I assume that should be super easy compared to a bike like you have.
    Every-time I try a full lock turn I find half way through the turn I straighten out. Now have watched several videos on full lock turns and yours is the best due the fact you teach that duck walk. I will try that and also the fear of dropping the bike is gone on that while one sees how the turn will look.

    • @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures

    It's a super tight (with a life ending drop off on one edge) 45 degrees climb over about 25 Mts (82 Ft) and then a tight hairpin turn back into the garage at the top.
    I've sure as hell had no other option, than to learn very quickly all about clutch/brake and friction control zones real fast!
    I can now make a 180-degree turn, in a 9ft space on a steep slope, at about 7 KMH (4 miles) per hour.

    Awesome video Joe and so easy to understand your content. You got a new subscriber. I do have a question for you and would love your opinion. My last bike was a Street Glide which I sold 17 years ago and haven't ridden since and buying a bike a new bike next month for my 62nd bday. I know as we age I keep reading that lighter bikes are easier on older people to handle which makes total sense we lose muscle as we age. I not in shape but am 5'7" and weigh 140 lbs. When I saw the new Low Rider ST with that 117 engine I was like fuck yeah, there she is. But then I read she weighs 727 lbs which is still not a light bike. So here is my question. I live in Austin TX and do not even own a car. Just an ebike for past 7 years. So this new bike will be ridden all over city including supermarkets so 100% I need saddlebags. I also hear that the Texas Hill Country which I think is like 15 minutes outside of where I live has some great roads for bikers. I have only owned Harleys but just saw a video for the new Indian Scout 101. She weighs in at a svelte 547 lbs. Do you think because she ways so much less than the ST she would give me close to the same torgue? I do not like going 100 MPH especially at my age but LOVE 0 to 60 as quickly as possible. More importantly do you think the lighter Scout will be safer and make my riding experience more enjoyable? Just curious which bike you think makes more sense for an old fucker like me who wants to do both city and TX Hill country riding? Safe travels my friend🙏

      Hey Bob. Both of those bikes sit pretty low. That definitely helps when it comes to handling the weight. Honestly, I would go and test ride both bikes to see which one feels better to you. Just remember, no matter the weight of the bike, nothing changes when it comes to the fundamentals. I know guys your age riding a heavy Ultra! You can always buy saddlebags for the Indian if you like it better. Hope this helps and appreciate you subscribing!

      We spend a bunch of money on upgrades, but most of us don't invest in being safe. Can you put the motorcycle drop guards on your crash bars? That will give you piece of mind. Try it out and let me know how it works. Thanks for watch and for your feedback!

The engine crash bars on my bike are a large 2" diameter and no one makes drop guards that big. 🙁I bought the King Rhino engine guards by Wings Performance, after seeing and liking them on Professor Robert Simmons bike. Mine are gloss black and really nice. I enjoy your videos Joe! Thx

    I'm a newbie, riding a 1200cc Triumph Trophy SE for about 3 weeks now - biggest bike I've ever ridden. Totally comfortable with it at speed, but in a state of terror every time I have to park or back it up or make a U-turn. I can't bring myself to attempt a full lock turn - it just goes against my senses. And if I drop this baby out on a ride away from home, I'm toast. Absolutely no way I could ever pick it up.

    • @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures

      I would suggest having someone come with you and practice. It’s easy to go fast and straight, but we need to train ourselves to be proficient at slow speed maneuvers. Go seek some training, you’ll be amazed on how much more enjoyable it is to ride!

    This is how to make a turn with a car, or even driving your truck.
    Your bike do not turn this way.
    This is the reason for about 80% of crashes on bike’s.
    Have you ever seen, the 100 of video’s, bike’s running off the road in turns?
    They drive their bike, like they drive their cars.
    Just stop doing this. You can’t teach other people, things you don’t know how to do, your self.

    • @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures
      @JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      This is for slow speed maneuvers to get you out of tight spaces. What's the harm of making a tighter turn? The handlebars turn to full lock, so why not take advantage of it and become a better rider? Besides, it's impossible to turn your handlebars to full lock at speed. I appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback

      @@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures - I have see people all the time, not full lock, but enough to lose the front and crash.
      Most of them are blamed on target fixation, gravel or low grip. And you can see them turn the bars the wrong way. And it is not nothing, when people are dying because of this.
      I understand that this is only slow speed, you are talking about in this video. But still important to make clear the other part of this.
      It don’t do much when a person has low technical skills and training. And they have to turn more in a turn. People do what they have trained, and not what they should do.
      I almost run off the road myself. But I have much experience on breaking hard. So that saved me from running off a cliff. If I was going faster, I would not made it.
      Always put in some counter steer training at the end. It will save your life one day.

      I have no idea what you are talking about, this is pretty much how everyone makes a very slow speed tight turn. Throttle up, friction zone, drag rear brake a bit, roll the bike under you to counter balance, turn head, turn bars in direction you need to go. Are you really trying to suggest if you were making a right turn from a dead stop you would counter-steer? Of course not. How about at 1 MPH? 3 MPH? Still no. Maybe at about around 10+. But that's not what this video is about.

      You should look at the movie “Twist of the wrist 2”
      CS always works, and the only thing that makes a bike turn. - Keith Code.
      Or read the book.
      This is not news. It’s about 50 years old.
      And you still calling me a liar…
      Yes, a bike will turn counter, from a standstill.
      Ever seen bikers take a turn, steering like a car, gives a little to much trottle. And the bike stand up and turn the opposite way. Rider panic and crash.
      You can even try it your self. Don’t blame me when you crash.
      I have done this once, and almost died. So never again…
