This is professional motorcycle rider Criss Kelly and he speaking on behalf of Expert Village. He is also a stunt man currently working out in the Hollywood area and he is going to give you some tips today on motorcycle riding on a street motorcycle. Sometimes the style of motorcycle he is sitting on motorcycle is called a crotch rocket but his advice applies to any type of motorcycle you ride on the street. Alright here’s a few tips for those riders who are a little more advanced in their motorcycle riding skills. He is going to cover when you start getting up to speed and you’re coming through a corner. What you want to do is you want to brake before the turn, you want to get on your front brake and rear brake at the same time. Remember the front brake is going to provide 70 percent of your stopping power so do not neglect to use your front brake. While the front brake is providing the majority of the stopping power you still want to feel both of your brakes evenly, and the more you ride the more you’ll be able to feel how your particular motorcycle reacts when you get on the brakes. In a turn, you want to get on the brakes before the turn, pick a line from the entrance to the turn to the exit where you can make a good arcing turn. You don’t want to go into the turn too tight so you can fit through the lane and once you get in halfway to the apex of the turn, you want to roll on the throttle and slowly power out of that turn and get back into the throttle. That will help straighten the motorcycle back up and keep the tires tracking around that turn in a nice smooth arc. Another good tip is to stay one with the bike, just feel it, don’t try to fight it, just use your body and look with your head. You want to look ahead at all times, a lot of motorcycle riders have a tendency to focus on the road too close in front of them and this is not a good or the proper street motorcycle riding habit you want to get into. Stay focus on the road ahead of you and constantly look ahead and see what’s coming, and set your sight on where you want the motorcycle to go. If you see an obstacle in the road, don’t look or focus solely at that obstacle, this is called fixation, because more than likely you’re going to hit the very object on the road you are focused on.  Instead look where you want your motorcycle to go. When you focus on where you want you and the motorcycle to go and maintain that focus, your body and motorcycle will follow.
