Riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience, but it also comes with a great deal of responsibility. While the basic skills taught in a beginner’s course are essential, taking your motorcycle riding skills to the next level requires advanced techniques that can be lifesaving. In this blog, Strait Away Aviation will discuss some of the advanced motorcycle riding techniques that can help you become a better and safer rider on the road.

Mastering braking techniques
While ABS systems are great, relying solely on them can be dangerous. Knowing how to stop quickly within the capabilities of your tires and road conditions without skidding is a lifesaving skill every rider should understand. Keeping the bike upright in a sudden stop scenario is key. Proper front braking is the key to this scenario. A progressive squeeze is applied. As the bike slows, more pressure can be applied. As weight shifts forward as the bike slows, more tire traction is gained, and more slowing ensues. Knowing the feeling of how to brace for the slow is a skill that requires practice and gets better with muscle memory.
Analyzing scenarios
Thinking like a rider is analyzing expectations of scenarios on an ongoing cycle. Simple things like where the sun is for the other drivers and then asking yourself, does that affect how they can see me? It’s important to always be aware of your surroundings, especially when riding a motorcycle. Anticipating the actions of other drivers on the road is an important skill that can help you avoid potential accidents.

Importance Of ICBC Certified Motorcycle Training
When it comes to getting proper motorcycle skills training in British Columbia, it’s essential to choose a school that is ICBC certified. ICBC stands for the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, and they set the standards for motorcycle training in the province. Choosing an ICBC certified school ensures that you’re getting quality training that meets or exceeds these standards. V-twin Motorcycle School is an ICBC certified school that offers comprehensive training for riders of all skill levels. Moreover, it allows us to do the motorcycle skills assessment on day 2 of the rider training. This means you don't have to do it through ICBC with another appt.

Automating the action process
One of the primary reasons why proper motorcycle skills training is essential is that it automates the action process, leaving room for the rider to calculate and observe their environment. Riding a motorcycle involves a lot of different actions, such as shifting gears, braking, and accelerating. When you’re first learning, these actions can be overwhelming and require a lot of attention. However, with proper training, these actions become automatic, allowing the rider to focus on the road ahead and potential hazards.
Develop fitness and finesse
Riding a motorcycle require physical and mental fitness, as it’s an all-encompassing activity. You need to have good balance, coordination, and reaction time to ride safely. Additionally, riding a motorcycle is more physically demanding than driving a car, and you’ll tire much more quickly. Proper training will help you develop the fitness and finesse needed to ride comfortably and safely.
