Stroker Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 http://www.motorcycle.com/uncategorized/weekend-awesome-rider-picks-gopro-camera-mid-corner.html What control....i am amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktk_ace Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 well technically you just need proper throttle control and stay connected no handlebar inputs needed if the turning is already completely done. its only magic to those who dont understand the science behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckeen Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's a pretty sweet video, but like KTK said its not quite as hard as you would initially think, I'd bet money any one of the schools coaches could do the same thing, they regularly reach out and drag fingers along the curbing and track edges for the "Reference Points" drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhamf15 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Maybe we can get Keith to add a level 4 drill for this, although we won't be able to call it the "Pick-Up" drill... Benny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I know you can take both hands off the bars after you have finished steering, i was refering to how he didn't drop the camera lol..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Hee hee. It reminds me of the cowboy competitions where guys would hang way off horses to pick something up at a full gallop. They still have a modern gymkhana event where the object is to grab a little flag out of the top of a small traffic cone, then put the flag back down into another traffic cone a distance away, all done at a flat out gallop, fastest time wins.

Stroker Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think a " No Hands " drill might reinforce how important the legs are to hanging on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hm, well, it looks like the 2015 BMWs have optional cruise control, maybe we CAN do a 'no-hands' drill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhamf15 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I wonder if you can set it for a smooth, even constant roll on throughout the remainder of the turn. We might have to implement a no cruise control drill in addition to no brakes to ensure good training results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckeen Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I can attest to having real cruise control on a motorcycle as supper awesome !!! but cornering at perfectly flat cruise control regulated throttle is a bit unnatural feeling if you're used to using proper throttle technique in corners.

Hotfoot Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hey, with cruise control, we can come up with more coach hand signals - how about one where we stand up on the tank like the motorcycle cops do in parades? It couldn't be THAT much harder than the Wide View one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhamf15 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Cruise control would definitely make it easier to wave students by on the right side without having them run up on you... Or high five you opponents with your right hand after crushing them in a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckeen Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I do enjoy waving to riders as I pass them on the freeway with my right hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
