Learning The Right Way To Turn Your Motorcycle

Hi,

It's only natural for "newbie" motorcycle riders to be afraid when
they're first learning how to ride. They may fear either dumping
their prized Harley or hurting themselves - or both.



The fears of newbies are quite understandable. Like a kid learning
how to ride a bicycle, it takes time to get accustomed to the balance
and center of gravity of a new Harley-Davidson. It also takes time
to learn how to lean and make turns. Even knowing how to ride a
bicycle is not of use, because the skills of riding a motorcycle are
completely different.

Whereas body lean and pedaling with your feet
work in conjunction to make a turn on a bicycle, a safe motorcycle
turn depends on the interaction of steering, speed, and posture all
working in unison.

First, know that your handlebars, not your body, actually make the
bike turn. You can test this out by steering your handlebars into a
slow turn while keeping your head and body vertical as if you were
riding in a straight line. In doing this, you will notice that the
bike responds to the steering, not your body.



Your speed of entry dictates how much leaning is needed to navigate
around a corner with a sense of control and maneuverability.
