Industry expert Warren Milner is an adventure rider, writer and worked at Honda Canada for 30 years, working closely with product planning and R&D developing new models.

Rider Skills: Conserving Energy - Bret Tkacs

Energy conservation:

A bike in motion is better than picking one up:

• Getting stuck

• Picking them up

• No motion induced balance

• Better traction

Fatigue makes everything harder… rested means:

• Clear decisions

• More confidence

• More deliberate riding

• Less risk

It’s the details in training that can make a difference:

• Poser skills training

• Rolling dismounts

• Standing when stopping (handlebar stops)

• Reduced energy stops

• Less movement means less energy burn

• “drop it and walk”… training to avoid injury with style

Rider skill practice:

The bar stop:

• Learning timing

• Mastering clutch/power delivery

• Utilizing balance and neutralizing weight to stop and continue

• Building confidence

• Most important… conserving energy
