Motorcycle TRICKs that make a great TREAT!
Motorman’s Tips, Tricks and Techniques: The Art of the Lean While I’ve written about this subject before, I believe it’s very important and needs to be repeated and discussed in even more detail. In this article, I will give you every single tip, trick and technique I can possibly think of to get you to lean your motorcycle. First, keep in mind that a motorcycle or any 2-wheeled vehicle including your bicycle turns by leaning, especially at speed. By speed, I mean anything above 15mph where the gyroscopic effect takes place on most motorcycles. On a bicycle or a small motor scooter, the gyroscopic effect may take place at 3 to 5mph. At very low speeds on a motorcycle, you can turn without leaning simply by turning your handlebars back and forth, however, turning with the bike straight up is not a natural movement, the motorcycle was designed to lean. Let’s take a Harley Road King as an example. If you walk that Road King around in a circle with the bike straight up, it would have a turning radius of about 22 to 24′. If you lean the bike over to it’s lean angle limit, that same Road King will turn in well under 18′.
The Art of the Dip Let’s say you’re in a parking lot on bike night cruising down the lanes looking for a spot to pull into. You find a spot on the right between a couple of other bikes and you make the 90 degree turn into the space. The problem is, as you put your feet down when you come to a stop, your handlebars are turned and you have to use the front brake. If you squeeze that front brake instead of grabbing it or snatching it, you won’t have a problem. BUT, if you pull that brake in too quickly, you’re going down. Not only will you damage your bike, but you’ll hit the bike on your right, plus, you body will be caught between the two bikes and you could be hurt and suffer severe embarassment.
