I jump on a Honda Shadow 400CC, a learner approved (LAMS) cruiser and proceed to ruin the foot pegs.

I had a Shadow 750, scraped pegs, filtered through traffic, took hairpin turns, commuted through city traffic. Nothing wrong with this bike. Its the skill of the rider that makes a difference.
Nothing wrong with scraping the pegs…..
you get better with some practice
What a great demo course
those beach bars tho haha
You can scape pegs/floorboards, it’s just a warning you are reaching the lean limit, you did alright, you just need some practice on a cruiser, it’s a different style bike than you are use to riding, ride smart and good luck.
That’s what bike riding classes are for mate. I think he may have used too much front brake into the corner to slow down. This will only send you wide. Back brake most of the time into corners unless you have already washed off all your speed beforehand. Let’s face we’ve all done that and if you think you know it all then stay the f*#k away from me
I think the problem you had was riding with another bike and you felt the need to keep up, you would probably be better on your own without the pressure. Cruisers are a laid back type of bike so need to be ridden at a slower pace round bends so brake a bit earlier and relax, also look farther round the bend, remember the saying you go where you look so look at the kerb or the white line and that’s where you go, it works for me. Ride safe.
All those people complaining bout Cruisers. Come and hunt me if ya can 😛
100 kmh. not 100 mph?
Suggest you go back to a riding school
Bahaha slow maneuvers suck on a big cruiser. The key to turning is just look where u wanna go. Your body will make adjustments
Damn YouTube soundtracks.
Turn a bit earlier from the outside lane mate. Do all your braking before you get there and slowly roll on the throttle as you’re halfway through the turn.
I Love my Shadow. you can do some pretty effective counter steering with it and it’s a shit tonne easier when you’re relaxed
Lol, that first turn. I prefer cruisers but I work on sport bikes so every now and then, I get on my Roadliner after work and *scrape* “oh yeah.”
what the f*** is a Honda Shadow 400 interesting did not know Honda Shadow made a 400 I know they make the Honda Shadow 750 for sale again this guy doesn’t know what the f*** you’re talking about
It’s kind of ridiculous that people are saying that he shouldn’t be riding. He was new, and learning. That’s what a motorcycle class is for, so you can actually learn how to do it properly. I doubt anyone was absolutely flawless their first time.
I see some advise being given here and im baffled. Cruiser or no pick a line (outside inside outside), LOOK, counter steer, and stay on the throttle a little. A little maintenance throttle goes a long way!
You get used to the diff style of bike and will find comfort in the corners, dragging floorboards is norm and are replaceable, counter steer lean and crank on that throttle! You got this buddy
all my foot boards and highway pegs springflex and are totally scraped up hardcore
Probabbly depends on a bike, I can corner pretty well on mine and it also is fast for a cruiser. I sat on it from a CBR600 aaaand can’t say I was faster on it.
Being a cruiser guy for about 40 years, I’d be the same way on a sport bike. I’ve never ridden one.
what an idiot, learn to ride before doing a video. dumbazz with no skills.
