The Drill You’ll Never Use… But Shouldn’t Skip!

You’ll probably never ride a perfect Figure 8 on the road—but mastering this drill will change the way you handle your motorcycle forever!

In this video, I break down why the Figure 8 is one of the most valuable drills for building total bike control. While it may not seem practical at first, the handlebar transitions, clutch control, and confidence you gain from it directly translate to tighter turns, smoother U-turns, better slow-speed handling, and overall more precise riding.

🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Why this “useless” drill is actually a game-changer
✅ How it helps in real-world riding situations
✅ Tips to stay smooth, controlled, and confident while practicing

I open the video with one of our scenic rides from this past Summer through the twisty Little Switzerland loop in North Carolina, where you’ll see how these skills make riding more effortless and enjoyable!
