You may be asking yourself, what 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.

Hadn't rode for 10 years and that was a crotch rocket. When I purchased my 2020 SGS last year, I told my wife exactly that. I told her it was a much heavier bike and to let me get more comfortable with it before I put her on it!! No shame in my game.
Exactly!! Damn shame! You’re job is to take care of your Queen and that’s exactly what you did!👍🏾
I'm in the exact same boat. Sports bikes prior with 10 years off the bike.
I know, the getting used to my 1800 vtx, that's what I had to tell people, just going to have to wait
Did the exact same talk with my queen. Better safe than sorry.
@jsmooth7048 same exact situation here. Had a zx6r and hadn't rode in about 10 years. Jumped out there and bought a Road Glide Special recently. Love it but definitely way heavier and still getting used to it. Stay safe out there!
Thanks Robert, this is the reason I started being to boss. I wanted my wife to be safer and comfortable. She wants to practice with me. Not all the time, but loves to go with me to my little practice lot. With her, I never push my limits, while practicing. When we are at a rally or show, she’s always pointing out guys that she would never be a passenger with. And when I dip and make a u-turn or lean into the turn, in a parking lot or at a show or rally, she always says “great job baby”. It’s the best feeling ever. She and those around me, know that I’m in control.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Man that is awesome! I know that feels great and I’m very happy she lets you know she recognizes your accomplishments based on your practice sessions. 👍🏾
That's awesome you have an encouraging woman.
First of all thank you for your service in Law Enforcement!!!!! Secondly, this is some awesome information and content. Been riding a while, but never really thought about the preload of the throttle!!!! Thank you for all that you do to help us every day citizens become better motorcyclists!!!!

Thanks for the videos, 10 years ago I lost my left leg in a motorcycle wreck that was unavoidable with a car passing another car on a hill and zero room for me to maneuver without going off a embankment. That much said I have difficulty holding the left side when I’m 2 up but I’m smooth enough with the right foot to raise at the same time as my left when the bike moves. And refuse to go 2 up on windy days that could put the wind blowing me to the left. In time I’m sure I can strengthen the left leg enough to easily hold 2 up against the wind. Before the accident I rode 20 years no incidents but now realize I was only skilled at curves and straight roads, not slow speed and u turns. Your videos are a great help on areas I need to work on.

Kudos to you for knowing your limits and for employing common sense when riding two up. And I’m also sorry for the loss of your leg. Good luck to you and I hope your skills improve to match your concern for the safety of your passenger.
That's including the biketoberfest 2021 which is 1hr 15 mins long
This is by far one of your top VIDEOS...riding two up...this defensive course is like your other ride videos...NOTHING CHANGES!!!! ...Practice practice praaaaaaaaaaaactice!!! Appreciate you...yes siiiiiiiiiir!!!!!!!
Thank you very much Cedric! Nothing changes!👍🏾
I finally took my wife for a ride today about 40 miles in town and interstate too... after almost 2 yrs of building up my confidence and skills . It went better then I actually thought. The main thing i told her is don't fidget and move around at slow speeds and in slow turns to throw me off balance . And it went well... super glad, and my wife loved it too. Still have lot to learn and riding 2 up is definitely whole another ball game but thank you for your teachings ...

I have searched for this video for some time. Been riding about 9 years, and just upgraded from a 2003 Vstar Classic 1100 to a 2013 Street Glide. I'm in LOVE. I also wanted to start getting my wife out on rides, but I'm the type of guy that likes to research everything. But now this video has certainly helped add some comfort to this process. My wife eventually will be riding her own bike, but in the meantime I want to get her some wind therapy, too! Thanks for all the videos, Robert. You're a huge asset to all of us riders that look to TH-cam for advice! Cheers from Canada!

I love going back to the pre-TAB days. What you said back then still applies!
Great session LT, my wife watched the entire video with me 😊. She said should would of liked to see how Anita gets on and off the bike though. Keep up the good work 👏🏻✌🏻
Thank you very much brother!
Fantastic instruction as always. I’m from the UK and can’t get this kind of tuition locally. I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos. A HUGE thank you for the fantastic content. You’re like my remote Guru 🥳

yeah, I just stumbled across this channel, been riding for 5 decades, and am still picking up pointers, but moreso he puts into language things I've been doing forever, but wouldn't have really been able to explain... at least not as he can..
Appreciate this a lot. I'll be ensuring even my kids watch this again with me so we can get them comfortable with the responsibility of us both, then practice.

I am. Dont see how I can pass up the value of your channel.
Thank you for watching and subscribing to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😁
The shifting thing i had to teach my g/f about.
She had a habit of adjusting herself while i was braking or stopped. I had to explain to her that, that doing it under braking is the worst time to do it. If you need to move around do it while we are moving or give me a warning while we are stopped. While we are moving, the bike will handle any shifting you do(yay physics). If we are stopped i can prepare for the shift.
Absolutely!👍🏾
Wow. Just watched the practice lesson again. Robert Simmons, we can’t thank you enough. We’re coming to practice with you, immediately after the holidays.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 I look forward to it!
I'm so glad I found your videos. I'm taking my class to get my motorcycle license and was really nervous. Now after watching a good amount of your videos I'm feeling a bit more confident. Thank you so much.

Great vid! I haven't ridden by myself or with my wife in 13 years. I just picked up an Ultra Limited. My wife was disappointed when i told her i needed time with the bike before she got on it. She understood. My confidence is up after practice and riding. Great idea to run thru the practice with her in a parking lot first.

First time viewer here to your channel. The weather in Louisville 'The Derby' Kentucky is gradually getting warmer and soon the motorcycle riding season will be in full swing. I've been riding since 1981 and found your videos to be extremely helpful and informative as well as entertaining. You and your lovely bride make a great team! It's always helpful to get 'refresher training' per se after several months of non-riding during the winter months. Congratulations to you both on a job 'Well Done' and continue making the outstanding videos, they are much appreciated.

I learned a lot from this video especially ensuring the passenger understands what they need to do. Most importantly what you as the operator has to keep in mind all the time. Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Hey what's up my man? I've been away for quite some time for reasons that I wouldn't talk about ☺️, fortunately things are almost back to normal as it should.
back to your lessons Robert I'm really learning a lot & appreciate what you are doing, all the time you spend making people learning & be the bosses of them motorcycles is something huge & you should be awarded for it.
Thanks once again & again bro.

I love the fact that you go into detail like I do when I explain things. 😅 My lady hates me for it but that's how we are bro. But yes, I have implemented your rules and teachings when I finally put her behind me on the bike. And yes like you mentioned she remembered more than I did 😅 but she does her part and does her responsibilities and we love going out for weekend cruises and never forget the teachings 👍

Thanks to you and your Queen for this. Rode through my 20s and 30s, didn't at all while raising our boys up.. Now that they're grown I wanted a bike back in my life. I restred an 82 Goldwing the last couple of years and have been riding a bit. I was going to talk my wife into a ride, but after watching this I realize I'm basically a newbie again and need to rebuild my skills and confidence before taking my Queen for a ride. Thank you.

My 5 year old daughter and 6 year old son love to ride with me while I'm practicing. My 5 year old thinks doing all the tight turns and slow speed maneuvers are so much fun. She almost kackles laughing so much.
😁👍🏾
Wonderful and useful video. After watching this I went to a parking lot and practiced for one hour the left foot down and right foot on rear brake. I can't believe I did not learn this before. I've been putting both feet down and then accelerating from the stop. So lesson one and the slow turns were good to do. Getting better! Thank you!!

Robert Great video once again. I started to ride with a Military MC and as we entered the main Marine Corps Birthday venue we were doing exercise number two. Many of the brothers were duck walking the entire time. As a new guy I didn't touch the ground at walking speed through thousands of folks some darting to cross in front for a distance of over 1/4 mile. My u-turns were tight at around 19 feet and impeccable. I didn't have Mary on yet, but more practice and i feel comfortable enough that I will trust my slow sleep operation 100% no Duck Walk with her, no problem. Thank you for a new life in safe, quality cycling. Amen and thank you and Anita and my Classmates for a memorable and life enhancing experience.
Thanks Erik!! It’s my pleasure. That is awesome!!

Thank you very much!
Great Video Thanks. I have been riding motorcycles for over 45 years now I got a ultra limited back in 2019 a real game changer for me I had to watch you and other people on here mostly motor cops to understand what I was doing wrong. My biggest problem was dropping the bike with my wife on the back when I came to a stop because I did not understand about staying off the front brake and keeping the bike straight I had a lot of bad habitats to overcome. My 1986 Harley Softail which I have rode since 1990 is like riding a dirt bike compared to what I have now.

I watch all of your videos, but for the very first time today I watched this video with earbuds on. Wow, what a difference the earbuds made! At 64, I think most of us have some level of hearing loss and with the earbuds on it really came through loud and clear what preload and keep it loaded means. I clearly heard each and every RPM from your bike on each and every exercise. I truly don’t see how you find all the time to teach all the classes, edited the videos and transcribe the audio but all I can do is say thank you!!!

Hi Robert! I just subscribed to your channel. Used to ride 25 years ago, before kids lol....just got "gifted" another motorcycle. I used to have a Honda Silverwing 650, which I was quite competent on, however, new bike is a 2000 Yamaha Road Star 1600. HUGE difference! So I'm watching vids and practicing when I can. I've taken it out on a couple short rides, even in town, and was ok, if a little wobbly/wide in my turns! A lot heavier bike than I had, but my last ride to town, my turns were better and my confidence was a bit higher. I have a small parking lot near me I'm going to ask permission to use to practice my slow maneuvers. Thanks for the great videos, I'll keep watching!

Thank you Robert, from Okinawa!
It’s my pleasure. 😊
Awesome video really enjoy watching ride safe and enjoy happy holidays to you and your family
Thank you very much! Happy holidays to you and yours as well!
When you said you're going to call us operators now it made me think first of a doctor and these are surgical maneuvers on wheels and secondly for the Mrs., Dr. Boss? 🤔 Next shirt idea? Thank you again Robert (and Anita of course) for providing us with great content once again! I often get passengers that want to counter when going into a turn because the lean is uncomfortable even after giving instructions on the bike turns by leaning. Instinctively they want to lean the opposite way the bike is leaning in a turn. Hopefully this video will help...I know it will help! Appreciate all you do!
Thanks Tom! It’s my pleasure. 😊
I’m in Ellabell, GA, about 15 minutes from you. The hold time I was thinking you was in New York area. I love your informative videos.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 Wow you are very close! Well, now that you know where I am, when am I going to see you out here practicing with us?
Riding two up is the highest responsibility a rider can have.
Sometimes I have a problem getting my Queen to understand this. I do everything in my power to know my bike and be safe. Before I’d even take her anywhere I made sure she was fully equipped with full gear.
Anyway.. there are some basic things the passenger needs to do as well. It’s a team effort to come back home safe.
It’s my responsibility to be the boss of my motorcycle and to educate my missus on how to ride safely in the back.
She always wants to start adjusting herself when we are creeping to a stop or lean over to talk to me when we are under 10mph.
Preloading pulling to a stop saved me from
A dump in one of those situations. She leaned way to the side when we were prolly at 5mph and if I didn’t have some power on tap and pulled against the rear brake .. we woulda gone over.
Ppl should NEVER taking having a passenger lightly. They have NO control over what’s going on (well except for passenger responsibilities)
Well said Gerald!
Awesome lecture, Rob... Just a reminder note from me to your crew, et al..... The Physio- Psychological reason for the passenger "looking" in the same direction that you are when doing these maneuvers, is so they don't get dizzy and throw the bike off balance..... If the passenger is off balance, aka motion sickness, you will have issues..... Stay Safe
Thank you very much for the compliment and the clarification!!👍🏾
Dude you are badass!!!!Thank You..No more front brakes onTurns
Thank you very much! 👍🏾
I know this is old but i have a concourse 14. I came froma klr 650. No problems till i hot below 10 mph. Ive been practicing for 4 months and slowly getting ready to take qife for rides..better safe than sorry. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

Thank you for another awesome video
I’m returning to riding after a 10 year hiatus and I want to be as proficient and safe as possible. riding two up is stressful because of the other passenger because I care for them

Robert thank you for the video 2 up, im not to much of a 2 up i too have 2021 ultra limited cvo violet has you already know. I am going to have my queen to watch the 2 up video so me and her have better understanding about riding in a dual skill level. Thanks for your help and support on a slow ride motorcycle skills i will love to have my wife ride with me and my friends on bike week here in Daytona bike week, i know she will love it greatly. thanks again.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
You are the boss! I didn’t hear the Queen say one word. I want to learn how to do that so I can be the Boss!!!! All kidding aside great video.
Thank you very much! 👍🏾😁
25:34 (Just adding this as a bookmark for myself.) This is what I'm working on and I was doing the exercise with handlebars all the way turned and locked before moving which I believe added to my sense of the drama that ensued. It's one thing to keep it loaded....it's another thing to find yourself barely hanging on to the bike with your throttle hand as the bike announces your failure with a throaty roar while it tries to nosedive because it caught you eyeballing your cones. (BTW, I don't yet practise 2 up, and won't until things become less dramatic.) I think I might owe you some 4 count pushups as well.
Awesome and responsible!!👍🏾 Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!
Woooooooooow, this is what I want to see, thank you :)
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊
Thanks for the information, Mr. Simmons. We bought our Ultra Limited so we could ride together. We’ve gone out a few times and it was great but I know I want to practice more.
It’s my pleasure.
Very good info. You definitely have experiance. I have told new touring riders it is about 3 years of experience riding and practicing before you are comfortable "riding" your touring model. Anyone can do 70mls/hr down the road but try 5mls/hr in a parking lot or secondary road. Good stuff!

Coming up to the 35 years of riding and started with a 50cc Honda and moved my way up spent 10 years farming riding trail bikes often hard and at that point I was probably the best rider iv ever been..now I'm older iv got a big Harley street Bob and it's heavy, before I put my wife on I got a new twin seat the big one and a sissy bar .Iv got these parts and fitted them but due to not riding as much as I used to I want toget my confidence up .who is going to do the cooking if we both get hurt, its been 20 years since I lived on a bike and riding to work in the summer does not5 maintain my skill level to two were it once was ..I think I need some time in the park with the dog chasing and barking at slow speeds. My bike is my pride and joy and the 1 machine I keep mint .
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊
That’s exactly what I told my wife. I would not let her ride with me until I was 100% comfortable on my bike
Good for you brother!
Great Video Robert!!!!
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I Definitely Am!! Iv been riding for 24 years and raced Dirtbikes for 30. And I still love to learn anything I can or just a refresher so we can keep our Queens and everyone around us safe! Much Love from Pennsylvania!!!
@@darrellfolk5284 Thank you for watching and subscribing!👍🏾😁 Absolutely!!
My wife and I had talked about the possibility of her riding on the back of my Harley, and i told her I’m not even going to attempt it until i master slow speed maneuvering on that bike! Thanks brother!
I love a responsible Preloader! That’s precious cargo!!
