Getting your knee down doesn’t always mean your body position is right.

I see this quite often on track, the lower body is hanging off, the knee is out, but the upper body is still sitting upright… or sometimes even leaning the opposite way.

And many times, it’s not because you don’t know what to do. Your body might simply not be allowing you to do it.

Restricted mobility somewhere in the chain , your wrist, elbow, shoulder or hips can stop your upper body from naturally moving into the corner.

So instead of forcing yourself to “hang off more”, start small.

Start with your wrist. Keep it relaxed and allow the hand to open up as you move into the corner.
Then look at your elbow let it open and drop naturally.
Free up your shoulders instead of locking them.
And finally, allow your hips to rotate and move with the bike.

Think of body position as a chain. ⛓️
If one joint is locked, something else has to compensate.

Sometimes the fix to your riding isn’t more lean angle or more hanging off.

It’s simply giving your body the freedom to move. 🏍️

Your clutch needs a little breathing room!

Too tight = the clutch may slip, heat up and wear out faster.
Too loose = hard shifts, trouble finding neutral and the clutch may not disengage completely.

The sweet spot? Keep a little free play at the clutch lever , usually around 5-10mm, depending on the motorcycle. Always check your bike’s recommended spec.

A tiny adjustment that can make a big difference to how your bike feels and how long your clutch lasts. 🤝

As much as we laughed about this afterwards, watching it back reminds you how much can change in a fraction of a second.

But there’s another lesson here.

Even if I’m the fastest rider on track, I always ride with the possibility that someone might overtake me. So when it happens, I’m not shocked. I’m aware, I’m prepared, and I can react.

I think life works the same way.

You can be doing everything right and still have setbacks. Bad days will come. Plans will change. Someone might get ahead of you.

If you’ve already accepted that possibility, it doesn’t shake you as much when it happens.

Being prepared doesn’t stop the unexpected.
It just helps you handle it better when it arrives.

And yes… this one was definitely too close for comfort.

Sometimes I just stand here and look around… and it hits me.

These aren’t just bikes.
And those aren’t just trophies.

They’re years of my life.

Early mornings, long drives, empty pockets, broken bikes, injuries, bad weekends, good weekends, people who believed in me, people who didn’t… and a lot of moments where I had no idea where all of this was going.

I just knew I loved motorcycles. I loved racing. And I wanted to keep going.

Some of these trophies mean a lot. Some of them I barely remember winning. But I remember the struggle behind almost every one of them.

And the bikes… each one takes me back to a different version of myself.

I’m still chasing. Still learning. Still hungry for more.

But today, walking through this little space I call home, I felt grateful.

Because once upon a time, all of this was just a dream in my head.

Now I get to live amongst the memories. ❤️

Your bike survived the ride. Now don’t ruin it while cleaning.

Here’s my simple post-monsoon cleaning routine:

1️⃣ Wash the entire bike first to remove loose mud and dirt. Avoid blasting high-pressure water directly at bearings, seals, electrical connectors and other sensitive mechanical parts.

2️⃣ Remove the front sprocket cover, disc guards, skid plate (if fitted), and other mud-trapping parts. You’ll be surprised how much dirt gets packed into these areas.

3️⃣ Do a diesel wash on heavily contaminated areas like the front sprocket, rear sprocket, chain, swingarm, suspension linkage, lower front forks, wheels and tyres. It helps loosen stubborn grease and mud before giving them a proper clean.

4️⃣ Dry the bike thoroughly using a microfiber cloth. This is one of the most important steps. As you wipe every surface, you’ll naturally spot loose bolts, oil leaks, damaged parts, cracked plastics or anything else that needs attention before your next ride.

5️⃣ Finish by lubricating and inspecting. L**e the chain once it’s dry, then check chain tension, brake pads, tyres, spokes and all the controls to make sure the bike is ready for the next adventure.

Finally switched to a self-retractable ratchet system, and I don’t think I can go back to regular straps.

Loading and unloading the bike is faster, there’s no loose webbing flapping around, and packing up after a ride takes seconds instead of minutes.

If you regularly carry a motorcycle, this is one upgrade that’s absolutely worth it.

Would you switch to this, or are you sticking with regular ratchet straps? Let me know in the comments. 👇
