Having a strong core regiment solves 60% of your problems. I rode from Trivandrum to Banglore in 11 hours on my 2018 D390, stopping only for lunch at Salem. The only problem I had was my right aching because of my backpack position, the skin of my bum from friction and heart ache from petrol prices.

Powerdrift is really concern and care for the people.

[rishabhdubey]

Guys please do a video on proper braking. It is something that we use 100% of the times we ride and there are a lot of misconceptions out there. I think it'll be a good topic coming from seasoned riders like yourselves.

Just when I have planned to go for a trip..this comes as a blessing...PD army..long way to go!!!

[dinensur]

When my kids will be learning motorcycling I will suggest them to see powerdrift and shumi sir in podcast...

[CHINMAYRAJSALVI]

Whatever schumi teaches me it directly fits in my head forever 🔥
I wish i had a school teacher like schumi 😝 i would have been an automobile engineer today 🤣

That's the best advice one can give. Learn to ride the motorcycle properly. All the prior will fall in place. I learned it slowly but once i started to learn. Made a whole lot of a difference.

[snehadeepchatterjee]

Yet another much needed video for bikers like me who love riding their R15.

[p.chakraborty]

10:00, helmet must fit properly, and must not stress the neck ....sometimes wearing full on collarbone protector or an airbag suit also helps to learn.

[shridharanbaskaran]

Perfect timing from PowerDrift. I just did 850kms in less than 2 days and my back was killing me. Thanks for the solutions!!

[kumararup]

Probably the first youtuber to talk about this topic is mystic rider Prateek. It has helped a lot in long trips. I own an R15V3. But Prof Shumi gave us a masterclass on this.

[vimalkhullar]

I will watch this video multiple times. Too much important information. 👍👍

[unavailable]

I don't feel bored at any point in shumi videos.. His presentation is always amazing...

[abhishekchaturvedi]

Thank you, sir. I am a new rider and I constantly find these issues.

[kshitijgenext]

Next video suggestions : 1. Engine braking during downshifts
2. How to ride during break-in periods and how manufacturers don't give the full picture
3. Understanding tire tread depth and knowing when to change

[kushveersingh]

It felt like Shumi is talking to one on one !! Amazing content and so well explained … Thank you PD!!

[navneetsingh]

Whatever you are saying, you should have shown it as well, this is like a theory class without any practical demonstration 😏

[adithyaviswanathan]

Can you please do a similar video for the neck pain due to wearing helmets?
It will be really helpful

That’s so well articulated. Your podcasts are always very educational for us.
It often is a case with two wheel enthusiasts to ride the bike(s) without knowing how to, or fitting the bikes. I learnt my strengths of riding rear swept pegs from my experience on a road bicycle where bike fitting is very crucial, and engaging different muscle groups to get optimum power delivery and energy efficiency during every long ride helps.
Also, keeping core muscles engaged while riding a motorcycle, or even while driving a car, will yield you a pain free ride/drive. And an injury free times ahead.

Would love to hear about hydration and nutrition while riding/driving long distances for enthusiasts in another podcasts. It’s often an ignored topic.
