It's killin me to watch you all ride on the "wrong" side of the road! LOL

Came hear for motorcycle tips and left with that and great life advice

The fear comes from improper training and riding technique. Novice riders don't look through corners and don't point steer properly. When you start worrying that you went into a corner too fast you need to apply more pressure on the side of the handlebar that matches the direction you're going, look through the corner, and don't look at something in the road. It's not just Harley riders who have bad habits; it's all riders.

Another good video. I like dandanthefiremans explanation of looking through the corner and keeping your chin where you want to go, but also “ratcheting” your eyes back and fourth for pot holes. Quick snappy looks at the road and then straight back up ahead. We all have alot to learn and it’s videos like this that help us think outside out riding and maybe think about what we could improve on that we might not have been aware of. Keep up the good work!

Great job explaining the main points of taking corners properly. The key word for new riders is practice. Find opportunities to practice and increase the speed over time. Everything you need to know is in this video and then practice your behind off, soon you’ll do it all like you have always known how. Very well done.

Ridden 52 years, raced enduros 17, sponsored for 4 years, and I never stop learning new techniques and roads! Riding, for me, is spiritual, as I call my Street Glide Special, "my 70mph alter." Regarding riding rules in general; 1. look at where you want to go - NOT what you want to miss. 2. always approach corners, slow-in, fast-out. 3. use front brake for all braking - except soft or lose down hills. 4. until more seasoned, brake only approaching turns while upright, downshifting will suffice for most turns if done correctly. Practice downshifting and using the engine compression; especially on a Harley will drastically save brake wear, heat and brake fade on long down hills. So glad I found your channel, and i love the Christian, life lesson woven into your riding lesson; very well done! In Christ, Bikers Wave to All you Fellow Riders!

Great video, i've been riding for roughly 20 years, and still some times something catches my eye and I have to be mindful of target fixation, I also find I tell myself "look where you are going" plenty of fun to be had on a bike, practice and thinking constantly to make it muscle memory 👍

Nice. Well done and Thank you. Lifetime rider, used to teach this, and hearing someone relay the messages to articulately is quite good. Appreciate it!

Great video! Just got my Sportster 1200 ( admittedly not the big bikes you’re talking about ) …it’s been 30 years since I’ve been on a bike and I’ve been working on all 7 of the issues you’ve raised. Your explanations really resonate and have given me food for thought for my next ride. Also you’ve got another subscriber !!! Thanks!!

I told my buddy who was struggling on corners to do exactly as you said and he looked at me like I was the idiot lmao...he now understands

Great content and great job editing your video to keep it flowing. Also appreciate the life advice.

Stopped by looking to sharpen my skills, was surprised at the life lesson in the middle. Starting a new business and that advice came at a good time. Thanks an ride safe.

Great on point video. Celebrating 50 years on the street and I am on a Triumph but your advice will help anyone on any bike. Still ride after getting bashed by cagers twice in my 20's doing hospital time for both. I do ride with my high beam on during sunny days. Just want to be seen since that is my biggest personal fear. Thank you.

Great tips mate.....just returned from a tour of Tassie and without knowing I used most of these tips! For those who are new to riding, take note, these do work 👍

That was an awesome video. Much appreciated and thanks for the life’s corners, I’m dealing with life’s corners right now with my relationship great video

Very well said, agree 100% personally, professionally and recreationally. Like how you dismissed slowing down before the corner but emphasized that single most important factor in almost every scenario.

Its taken me about 3 years to really get back to being comfortable compressing myself into the corners like I did when I was young. I'm 60, and it not only feels good again, I ride safer than I used to. Thanks for the video, good stuff!

One of the BEST videos for cornering I've seen to date!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks a lot, my friend! I've been riding since I was a kid, but that old saying "You learn something NEW everyday" definitely comes to mind watching your videos. My grandma and Paw Paw told me that when I was growing up and being a Helicopter Test Pilot has been undeniably a game changer. LOL 😅 God bless you and your family! 🙏🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁
