These are a series of 1-hour lectures on various topics related to safe ride with better and more precise control of the motorcycle. These topics and techniques are backed by well-known and accepted laws of physics and engineering principles. No hype, no myths and no “Well they say”. These techniques are all learned from firsthand experiences and trial & error. These will cover some of the common mistakes that even experienced riders make. Over the year Ed has found out what works well, what works ok, what sort of works, what you can get away with, and what doesn’t work at all.
