Tips for driving in cold
How to tilt a motorcycle to take a curve? In the most “natural” as possible. As we saw last week, just a little ‘contramanillar “and place in an intuitive way the weight for the bike” falls on its inner perimeter of the tire and rotate one! “. But how to make it even easier?
Lay down on a motorcycle as advice, I recommend that you head back to your test track, a large open space with good ground. Imagine a medium radius curve. If you carried the brake engaged, the wide tires of the bikes today would create a sort of torque that opposes “putting the bike.” So, for now, come to “your turn” to the right speed, but with the brakes released.
First, “do not look where you step” if you do not know where you go. So far looks up something to anticipate every move. The bike will go where you look …
At constant speed, applying lessons learned in previous years. Just a hint of your weight into the stirrup and move “ass” to the inside of the bike seat “drop and roll.” As you have already ascertained, a very slight “contramanillar initial” (pull the outside handle and push the curve inside fist) is sufficient to increase this natural rotation. Now let the bike run “loose” to the imaginary apex of your curve, but keep turning in circles. You will see that neither you nor the tires barely support forces: the bike is turning and following the path chosen, simply supported neutral way inside tires
How does riding a bike?
Well, especially with body weight. If I ask you how your bike takes a curve, answer me that turning the handlebars?
Look at a camera on-board the world or your own bike: when cornering, the handle just spins. In fact the bikes do bending and rely on the inner perimeter, minor tire. Thus, they fall into the curve and “take”, and that we do with the handlebars, but with body weight.
Not everything is theoretically good begin now. I propose the first exercise of this “master.” Go to a line clear. A medium speed, release pressure on the handlebars. Push lightly on his right fist with the palm of the hand. Is the handle to turn left, and the bike will go there? No, you will see that the opposite is true: thanks to the gyroscopic effect (try rolling your bike wheel axle bearing her hands), pressing on the handlebars that you lean on your profile tire inner child, and the bike falls to the side, right! Practice, then, alternately putting pressure on a fist while the other strips slightly, so a bike tour.
The other exercise is with stirrups hold the handlebars at all, stomps on the left footrest. Will the bike right? No, this time on an abutment pressure drops the motorcycle on the side. Next year. No need to tighten the foot carries the weight of your body over the thigh in contact with the seat. See how the bike falling inwards increases with increasing the lever arm if you put the thigh increasingly outward. The last exercise is to combine this movement with the pressure on the handlebars.

Survival Tips for Motorcycle
Although this is a blog basically “driver”, I will put these 20 tips for users of the two wheels (Many of us use car plus motorcycle) as well as awareness for four-wheel use only When we go on bike:
1 .- We are invisible. And milk is usually not bad, but conditions are not polled. Little things such as pedestrians are always on the same site.
2 .- 1000 eyes. Never lose attention to the road.
3 .- If you do not want to have an accident, you’re not there at the time: when it detects something wrong (sudden braking, acceleration, or whatever), speeds up or slows down depending on circumstances, but get away out of the way quickly.
4 .- Do not be right in an accident might not have it … You know, or give in the way, or signals. Always look at intersections and be ready to avoid problems.
5 .- Do not forget that any car can make a sudden maneuver without indexes (intermittent) and without looking. Beware of all, not moving in parallel (better to go ahead or slightly behind to react) and as they try to spend as little time as possible in the potential path of the car if you decide to turn at that time (as stated in the 1).

Motorcycle Travel Tips
During the journey
The hours of maximum heat are not good to go on a bike, if you travel in warm climates. Try to be early bird and take the first hours of the morning, when the light is beautiful (for photos), the atmosphere is cooler and more pleasant driving for you and your bike.
Avoid the middle of the day, use them to lunch or to schedule a stop in some place of interest.
Expected to have to leave the bike provided a safe place because you will not remove all baggage. The garage can be rented by the hour is a good resource, talk to the guard to throw you some miradilla your bike, a tip is a good card.
A hotel is the best choice of accommodation, also roadside motels. I am among those who travel from camping in camping, with a small igloo tent … Well I and a lot of bikers. You all servcios, sleep next to your bike and make good social gathering place for travelers on a bike if you find them. He is one of the cheapest options.
Look before you leave a good camping guide to set the stops on the trip. And a good mobile Internet access to the network can give you more information. There are plenty of websites with listings of campgrounds, you’re very proactive make reservation … If you do not venture out, the many simpre is room for a motorcycle and small tent.
Prepare your bike to ride with luggage
It depends on the days that you think make your trip, but a good approach to take and how much luggage you take will save many problems. If you are traveling as a couple will have to provide two things, you have less space on the bike and the number of objects multiplied, though not necessarily both.
The best way is to equip your bike with a luggage set, all will be well anchored, you will not get wet and leave room for you or for driver and passenger … Luggage sets are virtually all types of motorcycles. Scooter If you travel you will have struggled with the opening of the case and a Topcase or trunk. If you travel by bike is the most complete kit trunk, panniers and tank bag. I have traveled on a motorcycle with tank bag and backpack with octopuses tied to the back, but I assure you that the time invested every day in fifth and put the octopus, it would have been better to invest in a good set of luggage.
As a recommendation, puts everything staple in the tank bag. Wallet, camera, maps … For two reasons, first because if you lose one you can easily remove it and prevent you remove what is necessary … Do this even if you get off the bike to pay for refueling, traveling alone there are a few friends gossiping on the lookout for motorists.
The hand camera, used for throwing a snapshot without having to get off the bike.
Now he has set to carry a video camera “onboard” on the bike, you have some HD at a great price and can be placed in the helmet or handlebars of the bike. Final assembly with music or comments can be spectacular.
Be careful with credit cards and magnets of the tank bag is not found but I have the intuition that might affect its magnetic strip.

It takes time to understand and the coordination of the involved teeth but a lot of practice and you’ll become an expert in no time. These are some tips for motorcycle gear shift to help you enjoy a better driving experience.
It is good to remember that rely on a modern motorcycle front brake to stop the vehicle. When walking with a very high speed, it helps to gradually step on the first front brake gently until you have the pressure to subside. Beware of how you brake. The harder the brake is, the greater the weight transfers forward. This raises the danger when you brake suddenly. Some guidelines to keep in mind:
(1) a shift in not more than one tooth at a time,
(2) release the clutch slowly when shifted from first gear to neutral (this prevents the stall and jerk), and
(3) pay attention to your rev limiter. If you do not shift upward after reaching this limit, this can cause substantial problems for your machine.
To operate a motorcycle, these are the steps. Use your left foot to shift down to first (when the clutch is released). Continue with the right speed when you’re in first gear. Pulled the clutch and release the gas pedal at the same time. Holding in the clutch, pull the shifter. You will hear a soft click. A firm pull will put you in second gear. Remove the clutch again and stepped on the gas pedal. Trying to keep the balance and smooth gear transmission. The shift can be achieved by pulling down on the clutch and pressed the lever. Gearbox will then be reduced tooth.
