Best example of poor throttle control

Motofool · April 27th, 2014, 06:06 PM

Pay close attention to that right wrist.

alex.s · April 27th, 2014, 06:18 PM

spinning the rear or lifting the front up is always a better option than losing the front.

Haha, in the description it says that he's wearing a textile suit. That's the first time I've seen a full textile suit complete with back hump and knee sliders.

And yeah, chop that throttle!

you think someone would have stopped him...

but its no fun if nobody wrecks.

Ok, goofs are really bad when I can see the problem. Usually these videos leave me wondering WTH happened.

I haven't muddled my way through Twist of the Wrist yet (brain no comprendo) but the one thing I have gotten stuck in my head and is repeated EVERY corner is...

“Once the throttle is cracked open, it is rolled on smoothly and continuously through the rest of the turn.”

Indecision is a killer, literally.
Chopping the throttle repeatedly in mid corner was not going to end well for him.

I didn't even have to look at the wrist, my ears were bleeding from how bad that throttle control was

Good find @Motofool ! An excellent demonstration of poor throttle control and the potential consequences. You can see the whole bike bobbing back and forth.

I hope the rider picks himself up a 2fiddy and spends some time studying and practising motorcycle skills.

Woah. Not to mention that dude was SERIOUSLY crossed up! Yikes.

He shouldn't be leaning that hard if he doesn't even know basic do's/dont's through a turn..

And why an R1? I hope that's not his first bike.
If it is, it's a good example of why it's bad to start on a big bike.

Where a first time rider is too scared to even apply his throttle throughout a turn is where he should defffinitely re-evaluate his skill level.

it's an R1, and it very well could be his first bike.

Eek. You're right, I misread the title.. That just makes this all so much worse

alex.s · May 6th, 2014, 08:04 PM

it says in the video description that he was here visiting from taiwan and borrowed his relatives R1 because he said he was a hot shot motorcycle rider in taiwan

Now he is also popular

Caveat: Do not overload your front contact patch for anything other than vertical hard braking.

I've seen lots of litre bikes in M13's videos. He said they used to be illegal when he first moved there, but they're not anymore.
