In this video I cover how Exercise #2 is relevant even in your driveway.
You may be asking yourself, who are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

Rob, that was definitely a Mr Rogers moment.
Yep!😂
Seeing Don practicing riding between two cars is a big deal for one simple reason. His age. It's easy to be cocky when you're in your 20s. At Don's age, it's a whole different ball game and level of bravery. Bravo, Don.
Hey LT - been practicing and the other day at the gas station I went to make a u-turn and as I’m going through I felt my bars go into full lock and man it felt good knowing it was the tightest u-turn I’ve made unintentional just by confidence built by your practice exercises. Thanks for your efforts on sharing life saving knowledge.
That’s outstanding Ruben!! 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! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Had a situation the other day when I had to gas up. Had to make a sharp right turn off the street thru the gutter up hill and a sharp right turn to the pumps. I was terrified, but I was already preloaded and in the friction zone with the rear brake covered. Really thought i was going to drop it, but I remembered you saying oh oh so I left the clutch out farther and made it with out running over a gas pump. Needless to say I was thankful for you and really felt I had accomplished something. So thank you again Robert.
I’m glad you felt like you really accomplished something because you did. You could have easily given in to that doubt and fear, but you chose not to… You trusted and you believed! That’s a huge accomplishment because it’s in the memory banks now! While it’s there, keep doing it. It will become 2nd nature. Very proud of you my fellow Preloader!!!!!!👍🏾👍🏾
Mr. Rogers Garage.
I’ve been talking to my riding friends about slow speed practice. Since watching your channel I notice the bad habits of my friends.
😂 Yes that’s going to happen. Remember, if you’re going to try and help them, be mindful of how you say what you say. You know some people may feel judged and that’s not what us Preloaders are about. We just want to help. Each one, teach one. 👍🏾😁
Preload and keep it loaded! Oh, of course Mr. Rogers! I loved that dude! If you give power to the rear wheel, the bike will want to stand up!
Uh oh-let out the clutch more. With you I see care, encouragement, positivity, and professionalism. Thank you!
Thank you very much Gregg! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Today I got stuck in a tight spot at Home Depot. Had to make a U-turn in a parking isle due to a stalled vehicle. Used what I've learned on your channel, preloaded, covered the rear brake, let the clutch out to the sweet spot and turned around within 18' with bars locked and no foot down! Thanks LT
Wow Scott!!! That’s just awesome!!! Good for you!
You are a natural in front of the camera Robert. Glad you chose to be a Motor Officer instead of acting or we would not have these great videos!
Thank you very much! 😆
New bike owner, 6 months in. On a sportbike, but your videos teaches wisdom for all riding platforms.... thx for all the help, you've been priceless🙏🏿👍🏿

11:35 - 13:25 Very helpful explanation about what “preloading” is and how to control the bike as part of it. I’ve watched various of this channel’s videos and haven’t found a clear explanation of how this works until now.

Rob, thanks as always brother! I've watched all your videos and last weekend, I forced myself down a dead end street, to have to make a u-turn & proud to say, it went super smooth, with plenty of room to spare!
I nodded my head, just like Donald did!! ;)
Hey Carl. That literally put a smile on my face!! So awesome!!!👏🏾
Hey Robert, I just had to comment and tell you that I just did it! I turned from my street onto my inclined driveway between me and my lady's cars into my carport for the first time without putting my feet down even once! I Preloaded, used my clutch and rear brake to near perfection (I'll never say perfect because I'm still learning) but I did it.
I just took the MSF class in October of this year and bought my bike immediately after I passed the class, I still have a slight fear of the bike especially because I have fallen off once but I have realized after watching your videos that was because I didn't have enough power going to the rear wheel during my turn ( I can't exactly remember but I also my have grabbed the front brakes) anyway I've watched all yours riding lesson videos in your Playlist. But I DID IT I'm smiling from ear to ear and I look forward when it warms up again here in Missouri to riding everyday so I can make riding slow second nature
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 That’s awesome!! You should be smiling ear to ear! Keep it up. The more your confidence rises, the less the fear will be!👍🏾

I've been practicing on my new Indian Sixty. My turns and U-turns have drastically improved. I would say I've gone from -5 to 3. I'm so excited. I feel so much more confident now. Thanks for paying it forward.
That is amazing!!! 👏🏾 It’s my pleasure. 😊
I previously watched a couple of your videos off and on and yesterday here in Dallas Texas I rode with the panther Creek hog chapter which I'm a member of I've only been riding Harleys for about a month but unconsciously while riding yesterday I put some of your techniques into play and it helped me tremendously so first thing this morning I joined your VI preloaders thank you so much and I look forward to attending one of your practice sessions in person
That’s awesome! Thank you very much for supporting the channel!👍🏾
Robert, I always put my highway pegs UP when going through the cars in my driveway. Impressive... you have a knack of making it easy to understand. Have to try slow riding on a plank, for sure. And Thank you and your colleagues for Serving this Great Country! G
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Thank you Robert for teaching me to be the boss of my Street Glide! I am a better and safer rider because of your content. I live in California and it is legal to split lanes so I am fairly confident traveling between cars.
It’s my pleasure Dan. 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! 👍🏾
Love your videos. I have been riding since 1968. I did not ride from 1980 to 2003 because of kids/time. I'm 2003 I bought a bike and have been putting on about 10,000 + miles. Listening to your videos has helped a lot. I hit a deer on my Harley-Davidson June 3, 2020 which I broke a hip. Today I am riding more then ever. Thank you!!
Thank you very much! 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! And I’m glad your ok and riding again! Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!
Good Day Mr Simmons, I have a similar scenario as a new rider. My garage is on a hill and the curb has a dip then lip.
My fear is hitting the curb and being able to ride all the way up and into the garage in one motion.Thanks for this video it's gives
me confidence to go try- wish me luck. New pre-loader in the ranks, and as a fellow/former NewYorker, Thank you for your service.

Rob u are the man… I can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned from you. Thank you for what you are doing. I now consider myself a A solid five with my slow speed maneuvering skills and that is up from a solid one I never ride my bike without practicing some form of your drills even if it’s just to make a U-turn in the middle of the street I have also gained the ability to instruct my son on slow speed maneuvering it has been a great help to him and I both. I just had a beautiful ride to work from Suffolk County , took the Jackie Robinson in to my job at Kings County hospital.
Thank you very much! That’s awesome to hear! And it’s awesome that you’re passing on your knowledge! That’s a big part of Preloader Nation! Each one, teach one!
I used to love driving/riding on the Jackie Robinson. It separated the real drivers from the wanna-be drivers. 😁
Did you say Pooler GA !! Thats awesome. I lived in Bloomingdale for about 12 years. I was actually in Effingham County and lived right behind Roebling Road raceway. I was an avid Roadracer back in the mid to late 90's. My slow speed skills arent the best ! Looking forward to your interview on the Veteran Biker Channel.
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I’m looking forward to the interview as well.
You are awesome sir!
Getting back into riding after 20 years- learning so much from you!

Robert I was thinking the first few seconds into this vid, "Geez, he's like Mr. Rogers here" lol. Another great video, thank you.
😆 Thank you very much!
Bless you Robert for all your help and knowledge.
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
🤣🤣🤣IM YELLING AT THE SCREEN Like you can hear me🤣🤣
1. Release the clutch ....some for more speed
2. The bike wants to stand up
3. CONTROL!
I ACHIEVED my 1st 100 mile ride this past weekend....Talking about a dream come true. OH and OMG we had to cross over a draw bridge, talking about a pucker affect😳😬, but the only thing I remembered my husband doing, (back when I was always a passenger) was keeping his head straight and the bike completely straight. SO, I did the samething everything was smooth (yes, I puckered 🤣). Thank you Robert, I will be there Friday @ 1900
You got all three correct!!!👏🏾
Congratulations on your first 100 mile ride!! Looking forward to meeting you on July 17th in Tennessee!!👍🏾
I got that Mr. Rogers feels right away!

Mr. Rogers Preloaderhood!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Rob, great video as always. I’m fortunate to ride with former (retired) members of the Vancouver PD drill team. Although they’ve taught me a lot about precision riding, your preloader videos have really fine tuned my skill set.
The other day while riding up to Whistler with my wife as a passenger, we were crawling into a very busy Chevron station. Cars were tight and had to negotiate a narrow pass way through to an empty pump. Stayed preloaded with power to the rear wheel while slowly weaving and had to come to almost a complete stop with feet still on floor boards to avoid another car. Just let out clutch and gracefully rolled up to the pump putting left foot down.
My wife said “well done” and a fellow fuelling car next to us said the same thing. We ride a 19 Harley Road Glide Ultra. I’ve been riding since I was 12 and took a 20 year hiatus before getting on bigger cruisers again 6 yrs ago.
I agree with another preloaders comments around balance challenges as I’m 60 now. Practice makes perfect though and my wife laughs when I do push ups now ..... front brake eh lol ;)
Thanks for your service and all your hard work on making these videos.
Jorg

Hey Jorg. This is outstanding news! 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! But the biggest part of this news to me is that your wife noticed! That’s just fantastic. Doesn’t it just feel great to be the Boss?!!
Answers: rear wheel stands you up. Rear brake adds control.
Robert, what you provide is immeasurable to so many. I relate to your other pre-loaders. I went to the local garage today, filled the tires with air and went to leave. Wasn’t sure I could do a U-turn, but not only did I do it, but did it with plenty of room to spare. What did I do next? Well, here in Germany on Sundays, all stores are closed so I went to a parking lot and practiced. I have a lot to improve and am still learning. THANK YOU so much. Brian.
All answers absolutely correct!!😁👍🏾
Congratulations on that u-turn! You should be proud!
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!
Very Nice, Donald was looking good. July 17th is our wedding anniversary, we are currently on the road and have no idea where we will be. If we are in the area we will definitely ride with you all.
Thank you sir ! I’ve watched your TH-cam’s also
Be careful out there!😁👍🏾
Robert, I really appreciate your passion to help us! It takes a lot of work to put these videos together and very time consuming. I am honored to be a VIPRELOADER! I would love to see you as well as Tall, and join everyone in Knoxville, I reserved a hotel for that weekend, it's a decent ride from NE Ohio (575 miles). This gives me an opportunity to not only meet you and fellow PRELOADERS, but Tall as well. God bless Robert and keep up the great job you're doing for us, see you in July!
Hey James. I appreciate your appreciation! I am honored to have you as a V.I.Preloader! I look forward to meeting and riding with you!
Not the boss yet, but working on it. Religiously whatch all your videos. I did know the answers to your questions, so at least i am retaining that. Working a lot of police details which cuts down on my practice time, but ill get there. Thanks for sharing.
Very good. I know when you have the time, you will practice. Be safe out there!👍🏾
Mr. Simmons,
I just wanted to stop by & give my thanks!
Your knowledge generosity has helped me achieve so much more self-confidence while riding a bigger/heavier motorcycle! I started on sportbikes & haven't ridden anything else throughout my street riding time, but now in my 30's, I went to a Goldwing.
Immediately I was intimidated handling the Goldwing at slow speeds compared to the sportbike, but after watching your videos & practicing a ton, I feel a lot more relaxed! I will continue to practice & will always follow your videos. Thanks again!
P.S. I will be purchasing a t-shirt soon 🤙😎
Hey William. Thank you for watching and subscribing!👍🏾😁 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!
Congratulations on the Goldwing and I’m very happy that you will continue to practice! Doesn’t it feel good to be the Boss?!
Very encouraging. Thank you so much for your insight and showing us the growth of other preloaders.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
Thanks LT. Now I need to get another bike. I got a home so it's kinda difficult to get another. But, yeah I learned all about that evil front brake in the MSF course a few years ago. I'm glad I found the channel. Subscribed.
Thank you for watching and subscribing!👍🏾😁 Welcome to Preloader Nation!!!!
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I think I will get a new appreciation for clean starting and stopping. Thanks again for the videos sir.
@@turtle19dad It’s my pleasure. 😊
Way to go Donald! Keep practicing, and keep it preloaded. I hope you enjoy your time with Lt.
Thanks for another entertaining and educational video Lt.
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Loved all the photos in the intro. I wish I had as many photos of my career as Canadian Mountie. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy your channel and low key, non intimidating teaching style. I learn best from those type of people.. Stay safe.

Your videos are always positive and encouraging. This one had extra helpings of encouragement. I bet you would be amazed at just how many people you've now completely changed their safety and enjoyment when riding. Every single day.
That’s great Jon! It shows that you know what to do in certain situations and that’s the first step to becoming a Boss!
Thank you very much! I would be!😊
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle you're very welcome! And thanks!
Robert, this particular video is extremely helpful, being that it is a scenario many of us face almost daily.
As you mentioned, this process is second nature to you and something you don’t even think about when you’re driving between your cars on your driveway. So, in that light, for you to pause your habit in your mind, reverse, and then break your habit down into steps of a lesson for us would have been quite a task.
Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this and all your other videos!
Robert, you are becoming a bit of a motorcycle collector
Naw…😁
Can't wait for the youtuber group ride... see u in Tennessee
Ah yeah!👍🏾
I have been so busy, not riding and not practicing. I am the the boss of packing and moving!
Robert, can't wait to get involved with your wonderful channel again.
Just wanted to say hi and keep up the great work!! I will be out there soon!
Thanks and no worries. The content will be there when you’re ready for it. And so will I!👍🏾
I've been the boss of my old lady bitching at me about cutting grass, cleaning up the yard and blah, blah, blah... Told her I have important training going on!
Robert, great instructions... if you can save one person from a fatal mistake it is well worth the time and I'm sure you have, without knowing it. The only comment that I have is, I put my hyw pegs up before I get close to the vehicles in my driveway. Great Job Sir!
Thank you very much! 👍🏾
Hi Rob I am in Australia plz come and teach me here you have great tutorials your credentials are awesome lots of love from Aussie

Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 It’s my pleasure. 😊
I have an idea how preload can be explained to people who just don’t get it. You know how you raise the RPM’s on a lawn mower? That’s your preload. After the mower blades turn on and it has to propel you through the grass it takes power away from the engine. So we load it and keep it loaded. Step number 3
👍🏾
I was totally thinking mr Rogers when he came out the door then he put his shoes on. I said it to my son this is just like mr Rogers then Rob said it. Lol awesome

Hello Ser
Watching from San Jose California
Hi!
Looks like Don took that stop sign 🛑
How many accidents in those 15 years?
I know I've had a few in 35 years, usually doing something stupid when I was younger! Usually road rash, a few broken or cracked ribs, and hurt pride! I always tell people if you ride, you need to know how to wreck them just as much!
I love watching your videos and advice on the bike
Thank you very much Cathy!😊
I've learned so much from your videos even after riding for years. This might be a silly questions - I get the concept of keeping in the friction zone but if you always pre-loading doesn't it burn out your clutch faster. It reminds me of when I first learned how to drive a stick shift car, you're revving the motor and slowly releasing the clutch, but once you get the hang of it you just go. Thanks for your videos!
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! I’ve actually mentioned this subject in a few of my videos. The short answer is anything that you use more will have a shorter lifespan. However, it shouldn’t be excessively shorter.
Can't wait July 17 Tennessee here we come.
Me either!
Mr Rogers! I was waiting for you to have a trolley or maybe a mini motorcycle on a track! LOL!
I told my wife I should have put a sweater on. 😂

Thanks for all you do. I am learning alot from your videos. Now I just need more practice to build confidence.
It’s my pleasure. 😊

It’s my pleasure. 😊
The Bike will Straighten out as you give it a bit more Speed, pretty much on its own. 🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
Right on
I enjoy your channel.... and I really love practicing the things you teach....
I only have one request... is there a way you can leave a time line in the description...
Introduction 0:00-4:03
U turn training 4:05-6:23
Emergency braking training 6:25-8:45
Ect.
I feel like it would help me and others who have seen some of your previous videos to be able to skip some of intro ... or go back to training later for review while practicing
Thank you very much Delia. I understand your request, but it already takes me a lot of time to edit my videos. I’m really not trying to add anymore. Also, I’m pretty much maxed out in the description section anyway so I wouldn’t be able to fit it if I wanted to. 😊👍🏾
feathering rear brake
You got it!👏🏾
I would love to be there & do the practice exerise with you for sure, I live WAY out here in Cali, only if it was closer. Have a good time & I'll be watching . I need to get out & practice, tomorrow I'll have time > Thank you for what you do !!!!!!!
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!
I didn’t watch the whole video because I’m getting ready to leave for work. My question is, why get on your bike from the right, instead of the left 🤔. I get on where the kickstand is located. I’m a new rider kind of. I learned over 10 years ago. Just recently got my motorcycle license when I moved to Florida, from California. I’m ALWAYS up to getting more information about how to ride. I don’t have a bike yet, but I’m working on it.
Yes there are two reasons I mount and dismount my motorcycle from the high side. The first reason is from training. Officers usually pull over on the right side of the road and when doing so, we are trained to dismount the motorcycle on the non-traffic side for safety. The second reason is it avoids accidentally causing scuffs on my saddlebags or backrest or anything else that may be victim to a swinging foot. This also includes a passenger being on the motorcycle while you're getting on. The third reason and most relevant one for now is it's easier. My hips are bad so not having to swing my legs up and over the seat is very beneficial. Hope that helped.😊
Rear break is for control.
Correct!!!👍🏾
