Heat has never been a problem for my DR or any of the other air cooled bikes I've had and they were all used to commute.

Oh and in both cases be conscious to not hold on to the bars too tight. Try to hold on to the bike with your lower body and keep the arms loose. If you grip too tight you will feel unstable trying to turn.

At high speeds the only way to lean the bike is by countersteering. The bike will not budge otherwise. If you're going slow then you can just lean the bike underneath you without countersteering and lean your body in the opposite direction to counterbalance the bike.

I have a DR650 and I love it. Going to the Ganny is a full day affair so I can't do that too often but it's still fun on pavement. You can wheelie and slide without being too worried about wrecking the bike :)

The riders arms aren't the only things applying force to the wheel. So even though the wheel is turned to the right the rider could be pushing in the other direction a bit to maintain the lean. Also at 4:55 you can see the wheel turning in the opposite direction first to start the lean...

Now I'm used to the size of the Note 2 and anything smaller feels like a silly toy. Also it's nice just writing this out with the stylus :)

Why not let the guy complete his turn in the first place instead of purposely blocking him? There will come a time when you might need to do the same thing and you'll complain about the douche that wouldn't let you in.

Drz400 with two sets of wheels would be a good compromise.

Nice

You can't heel-toe without shoes.

what's the reasoning behind that?

She was probably watching over his shoulder as he was posting this :)

So how badly did he hurt himself exactly? I was gonna walk to the store in shorts but I'm reconsidering now...

What's the idea behind no acceleration? I do accelerate to lighten the front and never had a problem.

Beautiful...

Heel-toe was harder to learn to do smoothly under all circumstances but becomes natural eventually. The shoes you wear will make a huge difference. I like thin hard soles like sketchers. Also find which foot position allows you to be able to cover both pedals without slipping. I usually...

Somebody said boobies?
