Hey Greg. All of these tips helped me overcome the anxiety of downhill corning to the right. Especially blind corners, which had me slowing way too much. Delay turn in, look as far ahead as possible and let the corner come to me…now it’s a blast, thanks!! 👍👍

[akeemmelvin]

I been a motojitsu member so long that I noticed you went from drawing paper on your kitchen table to a dry erase board in your garage. Thank you for everything you do. You still the same greg who is a motorcycle instructor who makes motorcycle videos. Amazing 👏

As a new on road rider (I've rode dirt bikes, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers off road nearly my whole life) I have learned SO MUCH from this channel as well as Dandanthefireman and even FortNine. So when I'm riding or going around a curve, I will look out as far as I can see to check there is nothing out there I need to worry about and to look for my line, but mostly I'm looking at least 3 car lengths or so in front of me while every once in a while checking closer in front of me just to double check there's nothing in the road I might have missed. I'm doing this at the same time that my eyes are scanning from side to side checking for any side roads or driveways where cars may be coming out of and looking for that dangerous silhouette of the side of a vehicle that would make me have to pay closer attention to it in case I need to slow down/stop, swerve or change my path of travel. I also check left, right then left again when going through an intersection and I treat blind hills as if they were intersections as well since they block your line of sight and so I'll slow down some and cover my breaks, maybe even take up the slack on the break lever until I am able to see over the hill and can see that it's clear. It's definitely a LOT of mental and visual gymnastics, but it IS getting easier to do as I am building up good habits and muscle memory. I'm always trying to pay attention to what's going on around me and NOT just straight in front of my forks.

Hello Greg, greetings from Athens, Greece. I ride for a little more than one year with a 300cc bike. You 've learned me almost anything I know about motorcycle riding. You 've opened a whole new world. I' ve read total control, participated in riding schools, try to practice as often as I can with motojitsu exercises and I see that my riding level and knowledge is actually better than people that ride for years. Most important, I know what i should be aware of and how many (MANY) things I need to improve and learn. Thanks for everything!

I was on a training course on a track and maintenance throttle was not really explained. They did mention rolling off throttle for lean but not maintenance.

I was on third session so I was getting cocky. went into a corner too fast for my comfort level so I just rolled off throttle leant over more, I stayed off the throttle because I didnt understand maintenance throttle. low sided my brand new r6 :-)

P.S I have only recently found your videos, the way you explain everything is brilliant. I'm a better and more importantly a safer rider.

Thanks

I took my MSF this weekend and locked up the front tire on a straight into a 180⁰ curve, made a beautiful recovery at 25mph. Made the curve and was less aggressive on braking and then trusted the bikes capabilities the rest of the day. Passed all testing later in the day. Funny thing about this whole class was the fact that I was the slowest to get steady on straights for day 1 but ended up being class leader for all exercises by the end of the day and all of day 2. Money well spent for never having ridden a powered bike, I'm definitely going to go back after I feel confident to take the next level of training classes.

I love how your eyes really do what your saying and look through the corner instead of just talking and looking at the camera. You’re really visualizing what you’re talking about and showing us what we’re supposed to be looking at and finding out target and exit points! Thanks

[distancejunkiemonkey]

Spot on advice. Having a known stretch of road to practice on is invaluable. Go out and ride it over and over, knowing the road will allow u to find tune ur skill sets

Hi Fast Eddie, I took delivery on my 2020 Fat Boy 114 yesterday, today was my maiden voyage. Back in January I became a Pre-Loader with the cop, Robert Simmons, “Trust & Believe.” Then in June I found you with a full head of hair, now I am snooping around your Master Classes. I got through chapter four in “Total Control 2nd Edition, ” more videos on turning and being the Boss of my Friction Zone and Front Break. Then I got your app for my Note 9 and my iPad Pro. Phenomenal app! I put on my SS Helmet, (SS stands for Sub Surface Warfare), gloves, Sedici jacket, and touring pants. I looked straight, bars straight, found the friction zone, covered my foot break and lifted my left foot as I rolled down my driveway over the trench to a right turn. My neighbor, a rider, saw me do 5 donuts to the left then 5 to the right and leaning into the four turns on our circle/court, then I took off down the road. She said, “Your ready for Bike Week! Are you sure this is your first time?” Down shifted and duck walked my first U-ie, 😂 On the fifth U-ie I wasn’t able to stay on the road even in lock, but I locked the fork through the turn on the grass. A garbage truck was approaching, I forced myself not to look as they cheered me on. On my fourth jaunt off my court, down the road I kept my feet on the boards, road the grass and jetted back to my house…all on my FIRST BIKE! I’m scheduled for the Harley Academy in two weeks. Now I’m going to earn my White Belt. Thank you for all you do and the top shelf instruction you give. ET1(SS/SW/MTS) USN, Ret.

Amazing how you keep making fresh content while you have already covered so many things! I had a course last weekend wich had mid corner stops, 90 mph emergency stops and just straight on track riding. I had an amazing basic level due to your video's and training i did because of it! During this course I finally practiced using the front brake more and got really comfortable trailbraking. Thanks!

Interesting what was "instinct" during my 20s, after a life since 5th grade of dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, and 4 wheelers, and riding on the road was natural..Fast forward 15 years of not riding, and I way slow down on corners and forgot my "instinct". Thank you for providing all the vids you do. I am definitely more concerned about gear before and learning what I thought wouldn't go away...

[therealpinkyskull]

I'm in my 40's and just returned to motorcycling after about a 6-7 year layoff, just discovered your channel and It's the best skill teaching I've ever seen. I bet you've saved a few lives by now, you're doing Gods work here on YouTube:) Do you recommend any schools in California around Ventura or LA county for riders to sharpen and learn skills.

[garylaajala]

I'm lucky to have found this video, thanks!
Putting the bike into Winter storage shortly, and need to revisit it (the vid) next Spring.
45 years of riding and never aware of these excellent turning techniques and mental approach. Again, thanks for putting this info out to us, could be saving lives.

[pedroarellano]

Holy cow, this is worth gold. I'm so thankful to live in a time where I can find good instruction for free that's accessible at anytime of the day.

[Alphastarcar]

Your videos teach me so much - thank you! Lol... on a side note, in the past the track intimidated me because people were so fast in my class that I felt out of place and slow. Now I ride at the pace that I’m comfortable with and don’t worry about what people are doing behind me. A no crash day is a great day!

[pamelaroberts]

Oh wow I've just watched 'why your over slowing corner entry' I had that same feeling at the weekend, I said to hubby I could have gone round that corner quicker ? Because I'm now learning to corner correctly (or should I say a lot better) and having just watched another of you cornering videos, I really get it .Hubby trys to explain and I watch him as we go round corners, to follow his line, but I'm not quite there yet.As you say more practice required.Thank you so much MotoJitsu .I know I'm going to achieve my goal of being a better rider 😊❤

[TJ_Rider]

Thanks for this video. I have been practicing my cornering with my new heavier bike. i think this will help me start building my cornering confidence.

[shmalegado]

im a newbie rider from Philippines, , and your videos are very helpful, specially the myth of not using front brakes, , thanks a lot sir👍

[amrelhawary]

Usually I find your videos so much useful and informative. In fact, life saving. Thank you from EGYPT.

[axon]

Very deep, thanks.
I knew i overslowing my entries,
But i didnt knew how to overcome this problem.
Now the bike and even myself feels more stable.
