Improve skills with Motorcycle training: Hawthorne PD Ride To Live class. Fun w/ Long Beach Litas!

In this video I show you some of the drills we did in the Ride to Live Class, presented by the Hawthorne PD. Mostly slow speed drills to work on bike control, throttle control, proper positioning, turning your head to look through a turn, emergency breaking, object avoidance, tight U-turns, and more!
Special thanks to Long Beach Litas for setting up this class for our group of women!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING A TRAINING CLASS OFTEN TO KEEP YOUR SKILLS UP! Classes like this (slow speed cone classes), track days, or dirt bike classes will all translate over to your regular everyday riding.
THANK YOU to the Hawthorne Police Dept for this amazing skills class, with help from the Torrance and Redondo Beach Departments.
