Motorcycle Cornering For Beginner Motorcycle Riders / Nikki's Adventures Ep. 9

I know this video is 3 years old, but before this video, did she go through the MSF?

Well done!

From looking at the still frame preview for this video, her helmet looks too big. The top of the eye port should not be right at the eye brows. I would bet that helmet would not pass a roll test on her head.

By roll test, I mean leave the helmet unstrapped and push up on the back of it. If the helmet moves before grabbing the scalp and doesn’t rebound at all, it’s too big.

That’s awesome that probably really helped make her more comfortable riding behind her so she doesn’t have to worry about cars behind her.

good coaching awesome video

Just shut-up and let her learn. Talk about it afterwards.

Hi from Tucson!

If you’re doing the speed limit, screw the people behind you. Unless they’re being aggressive or following too close. Then I’ll pull and let em go. I’m sick and tired of appeasing law breakers. When it’s clear to pass, DO SO!

Dan can you create a playlist for all the learning videos? They are fab btw and Nikki is adorable and I feel like I'm at her level (although she's prob now a pro as I see these are from 3 years ago!)

"ok so act like you're not there." haha

50cc scooter rider upgrading soon to 125-200cc motorbike. Your channel has made my scooter riding excel by leaps and bounds. I hate to see people riding 50cc without absolutely no PPE. I don't currently have "full moto" gear but I wear something. Can't wait to take all that I've implemented from here into my actual in-person motorcycle training and hit the road as a SAFE motorcyclist.

Bro, you're fenomenal! I wish I could have you as my teacher.

A pre-new rider here (I'm getting mentally ready for a bike riding program next year). So, if I got you right, when you're cornering, you lean your torso toward the curve while pushing on the corresponding handle bar? So if cornering left, you gotta push on the left handlebar, is that right?

I would pay real money to get some on the road training like that with DDFM, she is very lucky

She's wearing jeans?

Thanks for saying street names!!! I never went that way on OST and I’ve found other areas to practice because of you guys’ videos. I haven’t braved the highway yet but I plan on doing just like I saw on your video kolb, i10, houghton, home! Thx a bunch

Great video! What kind of jacket is Nikki wearing? I couldn't tell.

what a beautiful place to ride

The "no wonder your helmet smells like shit" made me laugh lmao 🤣

I live in Greece and this road seems soooo straight! Maybe you should try some driving in the Alps, northern Italy for example!

Why does her helmet say “HOE”

In my country as a studying driver you need to have liable / sticker on you to indicate you’re practice driving on the road. For motorcykel the student has to wear a neon vest with the text on the back and I hate it. It’s big and funky and flies like hell on the highway 😂

Can’t wait when I don’t need it anymore

I'm a local it was crazy to see old Spanish trail in the video haha , if you ever are up for it I would be down to ride and get some pointers from you so I get better at the basics 💪

Cool video guys 😀👍🇭🇲🕺

Dan is the man. Sick bike bro 🔥

The inputs are very subtle at speed. Eyes up looking for trouble. Road signs are very important. I tell myself when riding that I have one job, looking as far out as I can looking for trouble. Scanning the road for debris also.

What bike was Nikie driving here. Thinking of getting it for a first rider

2019 Indian FTR 1200 S, oooo that dash is beautiful!

Good video. How did you guys communicate on the ride?

New rider here I have 260 miles on my ninja 650 and just watched this video and watching the turning and going to try doing what you are saying :) I still get nervous going 50 mph with the wind etc even when it doesn’t seem windy I still get blown around 😆 trying get more lose and more confidence

As a mtb rider I stay upright and move the bike and bank over, should i do that on a motorbike or lean with the motorbike into the turn? should we go to edge of the road before turning in, or stay in the middle?

This is amazing. More! :)

I wouldn’t be letting her ride so near the outside lane like that all the time. She needs to be more central in her lane and then moving slightly to either side of lane depending on corner.

Good job Nikki. You are more advanced than I am for sure. I just can’t ride on a busy road like that yet.

Please do more learning videos like this thanks for your time and effort on this helps me

Do you push right from the left handle bar and vice versa ?

I hear push push push push learning turns…thank you👍

Look he totally ignores her and changes the subject 😹😹😹 wish we could get more talking from her.? He kind of talks too much. Ik he has to direct her but I mean the small talk parts.

This would be so annoying

GREAT JOB GUYS! EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE 👍❤️ THANK YOU BOTH:)

Thank you for the video. Your audio it's amazing ,can you share your setup 👌

Love your videos you make it look so easy and you explain things so clearly and easy to understand , I went out and tried things out and surprised the hell out of myself, I will clearly recommend your videos to everyone thanks ken

Is counter steering being used..I would like to see a detailed explanation & demonstration of that

I bet she rides like a badass now, great video.

Great tutelage, some guys push their friends male or female, to ride beyond their skills. Look, press, roll. To stop from being stiff, I grip the bike more with my legs and keep my arms loose, I will consciously flap my elbows.

You counter steer everytime you turn a 2 wheeler gal ❤

That thumbnail gave me the amusing passing thought that there should be a motorcycle video called how to coroner that's filled with a bunch of bad advice

The goal of this ride is to increase Nikki's confidence in her riding. We spent most of the time learning how to corner properly on her motorcycle. Lemme know if you like these videos!
