Dime cómo TRAZAS y te diré CÓMO ERES

Today I'm setting myself a challenge: With the help of the now world-famous "GH Hermetic Whiteboard," I want to make a special video, very technical, fun, with almost psychological overtones, and inspired by my great biker friends. By watching you corner, I'm willing to guess what you're like as a biker... Do you think I can do it? The amount of 2,000 km on a motorcycle! I'm extremely fortunate that some good friends of mine organize a motorcycle trip every year and invite me... I've dedicated a video to them on our sister channel, GH, but this is really the video I'm dedicating to them, because they've been an inspiration to me... The subject of lines is widely covered in articles, videos, and biker talks. There are theories for all tastes, but this is... the "definitive" video on lines! I'll remind you of something very important: A good line allows you to go faster, with equal safety, or it allows you to go safer at the same speed. You use the first on the track, the second on the street. Do you think there are 10 different ways to trace a corner? I think so, and each one is a signature of who you are as a rider. There are "U" and "V" lines, open, closed, and the "unicorn" of lines, the now-famous "double W line." There are lines that may be the same, but they are different because the reasons for doing it that way are different. We've borrowed Garaje Hermético's "Hermetic Whiteboard"    / @garajehermético  , and we're going to look at all the options. Depending on your line, I dare say what you're like as a rider. I'll use different colors and types of lines and a "typical" 180-degree, but relatively open curve. And then, in the comments, you tell me if I got it right or not... And then we're off to our... "psychological study of the rider." 1. "Closed U" line. You're definitely... a novice! Because, faced with uncertainty, you ride on the inside all the time. If you adjust your speed, it's not a bad thing at first... 2. "Asymmetrical U" line. You're a... cautious rider! You enter on the inside and only open up when you see the exit... well, that's not a bad habit either, especially with reduced visibility. 3. "Open U" line. You're a... classic! You use the "classic" chemically pure, aesthetically perfect line. It may not be the best depending on the case, but it's certainly not bad. 4. "V" line. You are, or pretend to be, a... racer! It's the most effective on the track, especially with powerful bikes, and with visibility, it's an option on the road. 5. "Medium U" line. You're a somewhat... fearful rider! You follow the radius of the curve in the middle of the road... in other words, you don't take a line. On the road, if you adjust your speed, it's fine; on the track, forget it. 6. "Arch" line. You enter late, go "wide," and then have to close again... you're... absentminded! Or maybe not, but you can get distracted... on a motorcycle, attention is paramount. 7. Asymmetric line. You're a very... technical driver! You adapt the line to the speed of the curve and the speed of the motorcycle. If you combine this criterion like the "V" line, you'll be king, especially on the track. 8. "Parallel" line. More or less like the "coward's line," but some drivers take it because they're very... fussy! And they think they're complying with the rules. You can take a line on the road, of course, but within your lane. 9. "W" line. You could say you're... special! My good friend Javier, an expert in the field, taught me this line. And we've all done it at some point, when we "attack" the corner with gusto... and discover that "there's more to it." As you can see, we make a sort of "W." But I insist, this has happened to all of us at some point... it even happens in MotoGP when a rider over-brakes and then over-accelerates... nobody's perfect. 10. The "anti-line." You are, without a doubt, an... expert in the rain! This happens especially on the track. In wet conditions, rather than looking for a good line, you're more interested in the areas with grip, where there's less rubber and the asphalt is more porous. Conclusion. The conclusion isn't mine... it should be yours. Do you think he got it right? Many? Few? None? I'll read you in the comments. Anecdote of the day. If we were to make this video about off-roading... 10 lines wouldn't be enough! Because in motocross, for example, we can see the benefits of both lines firsthand... a good friend insisted on convincing me that I was faster off-road, and it almost ended badly... https://www.youtube.com/@moto1protv?s...
