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. Who's trying this? π
