I'd just like to say thank you for not doing a five minute preamble, asking for likes and subscribes and throwing in a sponsored section. It's so refreshing when the content of a video matches the title.

There are some bikes I actually can't even take off the kickstand without this tip :"D

One more small thing to add to hundreds of small things that cut down on the thrashing and make me a better and SAFER rider. Thanx once again Eddie.

Cracking tip. I’ll try this with my Blackbird. I’m 5’7” and 74 yrs old and it’s always a struggle when she is leaning well to the left. Thank you..

It's SO cool how two motorbiking gurus from two very different States and age groups got together and did some practising together. Really awesome that is. Brilliant tip again, but I knew this one from playing around with a much lighter sport bike, discovered it by accident.

Been doing this for years on my GL1800 and Electra Glides bikes. It really helps! Also, when just barely still rolling to a stop, instead of the bike deciding for you what side it will want to fall, nudge the bars slightly right so you have a more definite left fall towards your left foot which is (or should be) going down to the ground.

Great tip. Awesome that you bring back stuff from all your training - no matter who and where. Also cool you give credit to the source. These things are part of what makes you awesome.

[lousiegel]

Well, I’ve been riding about a million years.
I’ve probably done this on accident a couple of times, but never on purpose.
I will from now on. Good gouge!
Thanks!

Yes! I learned this over the summer myself. Bought myself my first Harley for my 50th birthday (had ridden metric cruisers before that). Anyway, I was sitting on all sorts of bikes at the dealership, and remarked to the sales guy how heavy some of them were. He showed me the handlebar trick, and I was amazed!! Good stuff!

[georgemorley]

I don’t have a motorcycle. I probably won’t have a motorcycle anytime soon. I don’t need to know this right now. But you have a like from me because for people who do have motorcycles, especially heavy ones, and could use this information, you got STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. Bravo.

I have a fully loaded HD Electra Glide Ultra Classic weighing 1000 lbs, definitely turning the handle bars to right is big advantage. You are transferring a lot of the weight from the left to right and off the kick stand. I was like you trying to fight the weight to near impossible to move of the kick stand. Thank you for your tip.

[rogermeyer]

Thx for the tip! I’ve been riding 35yrs and this is the first I’ve heard of it. I will try this on my GSA next ride.

A few years back I went to a bike meet in Reno. That same week there was a Cops riding event. I ended up spending two days there watching the competition and talking to the various motor cops about technique. It fundamentally changed the way I ride. It's the small things that add up.

[vspatmx]

this is priceless..
I now have a damaged left arm shoulder.. and I've been avoiding the usual heavy bikes.. past few days..
but now I can't wait to try it out..

[rbd]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That will be a most valuable piece of information for an old man with an ify back.

[lilledilorenzo]

A skinny little 80 year old who can just barely manage to get my V-Strom upright. So glad I watched this ! I'm sure it's going to make a big difference for me. Thanks Very much :)

[rratedmotorcyclerides]

An excellent tip I never thought about it before. I went to a dealer and tried a 'heavy' royal Enfield and when I lifted it off the side stand and said not interested too heavy. but if I tried this tip I'm sure I would have had a different view of the bike.

[GreenComotion-eizw]

I learned something new and fully understood it. Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning. Thx a bunch 🙏🏽

[flrdbrnr]

Yes it does work after several advanced schools and competitions learned this trick about a year ago from a relatively new guy it is slick thanks for passing it on Greg

[machwheels]

Thank you I did learn this from watching Jerry last year but I am so very happy to get all these cruiser tips from you ! I truly appreciate your knowledge and I have learned and applied as much as I remember and I am practicing. Thank you thank you !
