hey crash, just wanted to say i was able to ace my dmv driving test thanks to some of the tips i picked up in this video, thanks.

any chance you can do a video about going from 0 to what have you, fast take offs, slow take offs, effects of the throttle and clutch when going from a dead stop to taking off in general and the like?

Thanks for all your videos on youtube. Your videos make me want to try these techniques. I see I have a long way to go. However I do ok but could do much better. I avoid parking lots like the plague.

I found the place where the engine is engaged and the clutch still has not completly released. It was when I started from a stop. I had good control and stablity. Slow ride normaly feels unstable when I just go slow, a wobble or worse. So I'm developing these techniques for control at slow speed.
I have a BMW R1200R and it has a dry clutch. I think a dry clutch can be damaged by riding the clutch or feathering.

A mc instructor said the rear brake is used to control the speed. But it seems the clutch and throttle would play a lesser part.

Can a dry clutch be damaged by feathering?
Is there any technique for finding this sweet spot when slowing from a normal speed?
2008 BMW R1200R and is it sweet...
