Master Slow-Speed Riding: Why It's Harder Than Going Fast
Hot take: Going slow on a motorcycle is harder than going fast.
At highway speed, the bike balances itself. At walking speed? It's all you.
WHY SLOW SPEED MATTERS:
- Parking lots
- U-turns
- Gas stations
- Stop-and-go traffic
THE SECRETS:
1. Look where you want to go. Your bike follows your eyes
2. Use the friction zone. Clutch control = everything
3. Rear brake, not front. More stability
4. Keep RPMs slightly up. Helps balance
5. Drag rear brake + throttle. Pro-level control
PRACTICE DRILL:
Find a parking lot. Set two markers ~20 ft apart. Practice U-turns both directions for 20 minutes.
