1. Eye Exercises

Keeping your eyes active is a very underrated skill for a motorcyclist. While riding, practice your peripheral vision. Stay conscious of all your surroundings while simultaneously focusing on what lies directly in front of you. Sometimes, danger will first start in your peripheral vision before reaching your direct range of focus. At the same time, you need to be conscious of your mirrors.

2. Emergency Braking

If you need to slow down and stop quickly, you will need to have the right techniques. Of course, you don’t want to risk falling off the bike in the process! To do this, one of the best things you can do is practice your skills at emergency braking.

3. Body Shifting

One of the marks of a professional rider is that they can handle their body shifting well during a turn. If you watch closely, an expert riding will almost automatically lean towards the direction that they are turning. Practice this if you want to handle high-speed turns at ease.

4. Efficient Throttling

It sure does sound gorgeous when you pull down the throttle on your motorcycle. However, if you do this consistently you can not only risk losing more gas but also force harder work levels on your bike. If you haven’t yet mastered your throttling skills, now is a great time!

5. High-Speed Handling

Finding a Harley Road Glide for sale that can travel at fast speeds is only a small portion of what is necessary to do high-speed riding safety. Practice doing basic tasks like turning, braking, and so on, at high speeds. This will help you build a lot more confidence in your skills on the road.
