Don't have my own bike yet, I'm holding a friend's Zx- 636. I got your book and so far I'm on the second belt level. I can circle his bike at full handlebar lock to the frame now in the parking lot where I usually practice. I had a buddy asking how do i drive the bike better than the owner, who by the way wants to "upgrade" already to a 1000cc, and I told him because I PRACTICE. Looking forward to your next book.

Man, thanks a lot for saving bikers lifes. I recommended this to my friends who are a time bomb currently. I hope they learn. You made me a better rider for sure.

These vids are great! Even for someone riding almost 30 years.

Damn, I was really hoping the Coolio hairdo would stick around!

I fell into the trap of going too big too quickly. I started on a cheap Chinese 250 lump of carbonated dung. Rode it for a week and then jumped on a Suzuki GSXR 600. I 12 o’clocked that bad boy after 11 teeth grinding minutes of riding and it was back to the basics for me. I’ve had my MT-07 since. Had it for 2 years now and have yet to “grow” out of it. I started practicing more after finding your channel. You are the best kind of peer pressure there is my friend!

I'm new to the scene and I always had the mentality to take it super slow.
Glad I found this channel. I've already signed myself up for a course, bought your books, looked at a bunch of vids, and I'm on my way to buy gear (and I still haven't rode the bike I purchased).
I'll definitely be shutting up and practicing!

Merry Christmas Greg! Once again, solid info for those who have ears to hear...45 years ago, it started with a Honda CB100 and loved it! Fast Forward to 2019, a lot of practice (& mistakes) later prepared me for a 650 pound Yamaha FJR1300. Baby steps in learning to ride makes you smart, not a baby.

I took the basic course and the California Superbike course with Keith Code years ago (80’s). Now in my late 50’s I also found that fitness for us old guys is very important. After decades off motorcycles I am learning to ride again.

I actually got my bike a Triumph Street Twin back in Dec. I did the exact things you're talking about. I use the roads around the corner to get used to turning, stopping, and using the turn signals. I also do parking lot drills, especially U turns to get more and more comfortable. Still haven't done any highway but taking it slow and steady. Great advice 👍

Thanks for the video Greg, you are like a big brother looking after his siblings, much appreciated.

Semper Fi Devil Dog. Thank you for your service. I was stationed at Pendleton as well. Very informative, helpful, useful information. Please keep these vids coming.

I had a 250 for years. The only time my mates could get away from me was on the straights, but I’d catch them again on the next couple of bends.

[philbennett]

Thanks Eddie. Absolutely right about getting more training. I passed my full UK licence on an SV650 and thought that was enough. But the more I rode the more I realised I was nowhere near good enough to ride a bigger bike competently. The additional training I am taking is helping me grow in confidence, particularly with cornering, throttle and brake control and slow riding. Great video - keep it coming!

[ianmackenzie]

Thankfully my mistakes have happened during practice on empty parking lots so far. I learn and build from each error.

Thanks for the great vids☺

This topic is so classic. I have been riding for 30 years (since high school), but I only started how to learn riding properly about 3-4 years ago. Then I realized I made so many mistakes after all those 30 years, including those mistakes you just mentioned. Till now I keep telling myself that I am still not good enough, therefore I will push myself to keep on learning & practicing. Upgrading ourselves, you said. And your videos have always been very helpful & encouraging. Thanks, Bro.
PS: and I encourage my friends to watch your videos as well..

Keep up the good work, i started on a 2 cylinder 650 last year(nightmare, can answer why if you care), swapped to a 600 naked, been practicing ever since at least once a weak. Got 2 friends to join me, and about 8 people interested who always find excuses not to come. Love the exercises, got the book, dropped the bike 3 times on brown belt, learned a lot, even saved me a few times. Got over 1 course already, next one coming in a week. Cheers !

[ronaldg]

You're the best mate keep it coming!

[raymondsunil]

Hey thanks man.
Planning to take my course soon then get my bike. But your advice truly helped. Especially the practise part. Looking forward to more vids and books from you as they are life saving. Keep it up man. Subscribed !

[michaelblencowe]

I love your content. Its everything I didnt here when I got started. I ride a Yamaha R3 and like how you say to improve the software and not the hardware.

[KVNCSTA]

Another solid vid full of info!
Always be honest with your riding, that’s how you won’t form bad habits, work on where your weak first…it can be a matter of life & death.
