Robert, I spent HOURS watching your videos about two years ago, bought my first Street bike, 21 fat boy. Now I get to watch you do exercises with a bike lot like mine. Very cool and extremely helpful
That’s awesome! Congratulations on your Fat Boy! Thank you very much for further supporting my channel by becoming a V.I.Preloader! It’s really appreciated!
Interesting. I've always started a stop with the rear brake and progressively applying front brake so that the rear brake is pushing the front tire into the ground giving it more grip and more braking power, and then easing off the front and finishing with the rear.
Man, when you pulled up and commented on how fast she is, I was smiling because of how good she sounds, then you said what you said and I was laughing! I'm glad you got a relationship with Tab Performance. Reminds me of that test ride I had las Sat. I had a little much throttle when shifting from 1st to 2nd on that 114 RK Special and found myself holding on for dear life! Those M8 engines really pull hard.
I am so happy you have videos on this particular motorcycle and that I was able to find you. I've spent many hours practicing and watching the Jerry Palladino videos and your stuff backs up all of what he teaches.. These techniques have really helped my riding... That said, I bought this same Harley Breakout last Friday here in NY. I simply could not resist it.. Once the snow and salt and sand come off the roads here in upstate, I'll be out there!! I love the knowledge you and your former co-worker have shared for us.. Thank you! and thank you for the advice on the Wilber shocks and LED changeout also!! Also the advice on the engine guards and windshield (which I will not install but keep for windy days/nights). I am going with the black engine guards on mine.. thanks again for your channel!!
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and subscribing to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😁 Thank you very much for further supporting my channel by becoming a V.I.Preloader! It’s really appreciated! It’s my pleasure. 😊 Congratulations on your Breakout!
HWY1, 2, S.I.? Never met a highway cop I liked, maybe because I was doing the wrong thing when I met them😮😮 Just breakin balls. Found you a few minutes ago and have one video under my belt thus far. And, and! I’m subscribed. So yeah, I’ll be around from now on.🏍🏍🏍
I always cover front break @ a complete stop so both feet are on ground as my eyes are scanning plus scanning my mirrors & always in first got all my timing down thou
The first time I went into second gear I had that OH CRAP moment...lol. I felt like I was flying above the bike and just holding on to the handle bars...lol.
Wish I would have found your channel When I had my Breakout. One of the reasons I got rid of it didn’t handle that well and was too slow for me coming out of a sport bike. Next bike will be a 168hp Ducati diavel v4. Best of both worlds.
You are awesome. You think a 5'7 guy can flat foot the breakout? I have a street glide st and im on the balls of my feet when trying to flat foot with sneakers on. Your videos really helped me know how to control my street glide so thanks for that too.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! You absolutely can. The Breakout is a low motorcycle.
Hello, congratulations for your channel and for all the help you provide. You talk about 10 basic exercises, where can I see them? does it have to be done in order?
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 You can see them in any of my most recent practice sessions. I will also be covering all of them in this video series.
Look at the practice sessions videos on his channel. They provide examples of the 10 basic exercises he's talking about. And no, you don't have to do them in order but if you're new to this concept or not well versed in it, you should start from the beginning. As you watch the videos, you'll see that they are building blocks for the next exercises.
How does that heavy breather affect your right leg? I have a 2023 SG ST, and I removed that breather on day ONE. I'm 6' 2" and couldn't wrap my legs around the tank comfortably. I went with a SE Ventilator. Maybe the Breakout is stretched a little further and doesn't bother you. Just curious. Beautiful bike BTW.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 I thought I would remove it right away, but it’s not bad. It’s all about the looks with this motorcycle.
Hello. I’m new to your channel as of yesterday 2/22/23 this is going to be kind of long. Sorry. So I do not have a motorcycle but I do have my MC endorsement since 2009. I was going to buy a Harley so I went to a MC class and got my endorsement but that’s when things went bad and I never got the bike. I’ve kept my endorsement for just Incase I’m able to get my Softail that I want. The reason I started watching your videos is this. In Oct of 2022 I took a trip to Kentucky and my brother has a friend who knows I love Harleys and so does he. My brother does not btw. His friend had a extra HD and surprised me and let me use the extra one so all three could go riding the whole time I was there. At first I was like thank you but no thank you because I haven’t been on a bike since I took the test and that was on this small bike the school loans out. They talked me into riding anyway. I was so nervous, but it was like riding a bicycle. It just all came back to me. I never stalled it once. I never dropped it or anything like that. I was having a time of my life. Then this happened and I can’t get it out of my head even though it’s been 4 months now. It’s bugging me so bad. We are cruising down the freeway going about 65 I guess and I was in the left lane in the middle of the 3 of us. My brother was first, his friend 3rd. We are coming up on a very gradual curve in the road, not sharp at all. I didn’t slow down because I felt comfortable at that speed for this curve. I start to lean my body and nothing is happening. I lean my body more and nothing. Now I’m at the curve and I start freaking out. Both my legs are now flying out all over the place. I’m starting to hit gravel and dirt on the side of the road and the median is coming up fast. I’m fighting so hard to get this bike to lean right I don’t think let go of the throttle dumbass. My whole upper body is leaning right but the bike is straight as straight can be. My brother’s buddy sees all this and comes flying up beside me and waiving his hand to get me to let go of the throttle. I snap out of it and do just that before I lost complete control. We get too the next exit and my brother is there waiting and was like where did you guys go. I tell him let’s go park I need to get off this bike NOW!!! We get to a parking lot and I jump off and I’m shaking bad and we tell him what happened. I had to stay off the bike for a good 20-30 minutes. The one thing I wasn’t going to do is not ride the bike back to my brothers house, but I needed time. And I did get back on and we went down back roads that was pretty straight. I also kept riding the next two days but I road different the whole time after that. To this day I can’t figure out wtf I did wrong. So I’ve been watching a lot, and I mean a lot of videos on cornering know matter how big the curve is. The one thing I know I didn’t do was push the right or left handle bars to go the direction I want. IE, go right push right handle bar left. That makes no since to me. I want to practice so bad but again I have no bike. That’s how I found your videos. I’m watching as many as I can each day and I’m learning a lot even though I’m not on a bike practicing, but I’m not even close to watching even half yet, so my question after this very long story is, do you have videos on corner steering while going at speed? Sorry everyone for the long post but that one time has me all messed up in my head. Not only did I almost hurt or kill myself but I almost messed up my brothers buddies HD. Thank you, DALE
Dale, I believe you are referring to “push steering”, which is only effective while at speed. I remember being confused when the instructor at my MSF course used the term. Rob focuses on slow speed maneuvers, which are very important. I would suggest that you also watch Jerry Pallidino’s TH-cam channel as well as Robert’s. Personally, I watch both and pick up a little bit of both men’s training.
@@Iwanncamp yeah that’s it. I was pretty good with the slow speed stuff. Except I did do the one thing he talks a lot about not doing so much and that is I used the front brakes 90% more then the rear. If I was asked by him I’d say 3 out of 10 on slow speed stuff. My problem that day was at 65 mph on a slow curve I leaned my body but nothing happened with the bike. It kept going straight. Without him seeing what I did that day I was hoping with the way I explained it, it would give him a good visual and maybe help me understand why the bike didn’t go right when I was leaning right? What is the best way to get the bike to go any other direction then straight when you need too and when you are at speed? Especially if the curve is a slow curve and should of been easy at 65mph.
Hey Dale. Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! No I don’t have any videos specifically on that, but I mention it in several of my videos.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I am subscribed as of yesterday too. I will keep watching your videos. Because seriously even though I’m not riding YET I’m learning so much. I will also find videos to help me try to figure out what I did wrong. When I say it messed me up that day 4 months ago, I mean it. Almost every day I think about it. I need to know what I didn’t do right. Thank you for your response and thank you for the videos. The riders you have trained are the luckiest riders out there. To bad you are not in WA State. I just finished watching the video where the two guys where having competition and the one was talking about he hasn’t dropped his bike then BAM he drops it twice. Not funny but funny. Anyway thanks again.
@@dinman68 Countersteering is what you’re talking about. In order to turn any two- wheeled vehicle at any speed, you must turn the handlebar a slight bit the opposite direction in order to tip the bike in the direction you want to turn in order to make that turn. The sharper the turn, the more lean you need so the more you have to push the bars in the opposite direction. Most of us do this instinctively because we grow up riding bicycles and we learn to do this without consciously thinking about it. We see people having issues with it these days and I’m not sure why it had to become a conversation because any time you get on a bike and swerve back and forth, you’re countersteering whether you realize it or not. If you’re driving in a right hand circle, in order to make the circle smaller, or tighten the circle, you must first counter steer slightly to the left. You are right for staying off the streets until you get past this issue because it only gets worse when fear or panic set in and you basically tend to freeze up on the controls at speed. Go in a parking lot and practice circles. Start with as large a circle as you can then after a few rounds, make it smaller. You will have to counter steer just a bit to do so. It’s not really something you should have to think about but maybe some people do. Learn to tighten circles both directions before you get back on the road. Ride a straight line then swerve left… you’ll notice you have to steer slightly right to swerve left… and visa versa I’m not sure when countersteer had to become a conversation but you’re not alone in having issues with it.
I associate the term "downshifting" with simultaneous "rev-matching", which you are obviously not doing here. A better term is "clicking down the gears". I feel that the noobies might be confused with the nomenclature "downshifting" as it pertains to this video. Thanks for hearing me out and the great video!
Your smile when you mention how fast she is says it all. Keep these videos coming. Enjoy. Thank you.
Thank you! Will do! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊

When he did that kill switch cut off stop it was so smooth like oh my goodness, it was smoother than a hot knife through butter

I can't help but listening to the sound of that motorcycle.Its unbelievably it sounds great!
I always cover front break @ a complete stop so both feet are on ground as my eyes are scanning plus scanning my mirrors & always in first got all my timing down thou
