Think your mid-size bike is easy to flick into cor Think your mid-size bike is easy to flick into corners? Think again. There's a hidden "MID-SIZE BIKE TRAP" that makes these machines harder to turn than you'd expect, often leaving you fighting for grip and running wide.

In our latest video, we're exposing the physics behind this common problem – from unloaded forks and the infamous "pogo stick" effect, to mastering trail braking with the 5% Rule. Stop being a passenger and start managing the machine!

👉 Video goes live Saturday morning! Don't miss it! 

🔥 Are you feeling that mid-corner wobble on your bike? Drop your model in the comments!

Your Brain is Lying to You! Evolution didn't prepa Your Brain is Lying to You! Evolution didn't prepare us for 200Bhp or 60° lean angles. In fact, your brain is hardwired to keep you "safe" at exactly 20 MPH.

Anything faster than that isn’t just skill; it’s a conscious override of your own survival instincts.

In tomorrow morning’s episode, Brian @bc.49 and I dig into:

The 20 MPH Brain: Why your biology is actually your biggest obstacle on a motorcycle.

Sepang Tech Drama: Ducati’s "ground effect" breakthrough and why Yamaha is currently in a state of emergency.

The Science of Confidence: The one thing MotoGP pros do after a crash that most street riders skip.

The Machine is evolving faster than we are. Are you keeping up? #MotoGP2026 #SepangTest #DucatiCorse #YamahaMotoGP #RiderCoaching #MotorcyclePsychology #TrackDayMindset #AeroWars #CanyonChasers #LifeOnTwoWheels
The bike is fixed, but the "ghost" is still there. The bike is fixed, but the "ghost" is still there. You’re back on the road, but you aren’t riding anymore; you’re surviving the trip. White-knuckling every apex and waiting for the front to wash out isn't "just being careful." It’s a biological response to trauma that makes you a liability to yourself and everyone else.

Tomorrow morning on YouTube, we’re moving past the useless advice of "just get back on the horse" and breaking down the clinical, four-part roadmap to rebuilding your riding confidence:

1️⃣ Graded Exposure: The systematic nervous system rebuild. 2️⃣ Cognitive Override: Filtering emotional bias from physical data. 3️⃣ Sensory Imagery: Overwriting the crash loop. 4️⃣ Stress Regulation: The biological kill-switch for panic.

Don't let a past mistake dictate your future performance. Link in bio for the full technical breakdown.
