Practice Session #4 - Advanced Slow Speed Motorcycle Riding Skills
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ธ.ค. 2020
- Hello TH-camrs! Ok here we go again! The 4th practice session (Saturday December 19, 2020) and we are fortunate enough to be in Pooler, GA which has a climate that still allows us to be able to practice in December. 👍🏾
This video is a long one!! But it's filled with some valuable information as well as footage of us having some fun.😊 If you don't have the time to watch it all the way through, watch it in intervals (TH-cam will save your place). Just make sure you watch it all. We all learn differently so what might not be relevant to some, may be very relevant to others.
We used seven exercises at this practice session:
1.Start / Stop Practice
2. Slow Ride Practice
3. Right / Left Turn Practice
4. Single Serpentine Practice (cones 15-20' apart)
5. U-Turn Practice (use 3 parking spaces which is 27')
6. Figure 8 Practice
7. Offset Double Serpentine Practice
Don't worry too much about the dimensions of the cones. Just put the cones out and try to ride through them. Adjust them as needed. The important thing is that you're out there practicing and getting more comfortable with your motorcycle.
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.

I'm a new rider. You explain things better than other moto teachers on TH-cam. Thank you.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 th-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle 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! Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! ©
"I got news for you. What ever bike you get, its a practice bike." So true Im always learning on two wheels.Thank you for paying it foward.
Hey Erik. Absolutely and I love to hear that you're always learning on two wheels!😊👍🏾
Excellent! The fact that you show some of your mistakes and aren't so caught up in yourself to show them, makes me love these videos. Ride safe and please keep them coming.
Hey Donn! It’s so funny you picked up on that. I was just telling wife how important it is to not only tell people that I’m not perfect, but to show them as well. That’s why I do very little editing. 😊 Always real! Thanks brother!
Haha...Barney on a Boulevard. Love your attitude Kevin.
You’re a good guy,I have to say. No one,absolutely no one I’ve seen on TH-cam doing this is as thorough,patient and actually cares to help riders not only ride safer and exercise safe practices. I can hear your voice literally yelling “PRELOAD” when I’m making any low speed maneuvers,priceless! I say that because now it’s stuck in my head and reminds me preloading,friction zone,rear brake and turning your head makes a huge difference. Thank you for your doing this,means a lot to those who can’t afford lessons but want to be better,safer. Thank you.
Wow Vinny thank you! Those are some powerful word and I don’t take any of them for granted!!👍🏾
Not a problem Mr.Simmons,you have a huge following and I’m sure my sentiments are shared. God Bless!
@@six8415 Thank you. God bless you as well.
Truly enjoyable watching the proficiency of the students increase with their confidence. Very well done. Your enthusiasm to share is evident with each video I watch.
Thank you very much Tom!
Mr Simmons, I don’t even own a motorcycle and I enjoy watching these videos….lol…
Your Method of sharing your knowledge/information is outstanding.
Thank you Sir!
Wow Thank you very much! 👍🏾
No telling how many who has watched this video and/or participated in this training were saved from injury.. Nice job Rob !!
Thanks Pat!!
Absolutely fabulous encouragement. You are coaching not just throwing out commands. Robert, good job.
Thanks Charles!
This is the best instruction ever. 👍🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks!
Wow brother. Rick did an awesome job as did Sam and Kevin.
Were getting use to that NY humor more & more bro!😂😂😎
As always another great job coach. 👍🏽
Thanks!😂
Hey Wood, your exuberance for life is so infectious that I have subscribed to your channel. Wifey is beautiful, so is your bike. God Bless.
@@Wind.Road.Therapy thanks bro. We’re all just having fun and loving life. Blessings!
Thanks Wood Jr. Looks like I missed you by about an hour. Would’ve loved to meet you! Hopefully next time. Looking better with every video.
@@rt2489 you got it brother. 👍🏽
Thank you Lt. for your NYPD service, and for continuing to be a Coach and Mentor to motorcyclists. I had rode a Sportbike for about 15 years up untill 2015, but had not been on two wheels for the past 5 years. Well that changed this July when my wife and I purchased a 2009 HD Ultra Glide. That was when I realized that I needed to improve my slow riding skills. Thanks to the Ride Like A Pro program and Jerry's videos I've now subscribed to your channel as well. I must say I love what you are doing with Paying it Foward. Hopefully I will be able to make the journey from Upstate South Carolina down there to practice with you some time. Until then may you and your loved ones stay safe and God bless us all during these current times.
Hey John! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I’m very happy to hear you were proactive in practicing to ensure you’re a well rounded rider which is synonymous with being a safer rider.
Congratulations on the new motorcycle and I hope you are showing it who the BOSS is.😊
Hope to practice with you someday. Have a wonderful holiday!
Robert thanks so much for your Time. I’m 63 road bikes most my life 500 BMW WW2. Triumph 650 honey mooned on it 1988 Just bought an 05 Electra Glide fist time with a big Bike. You’ve been a world of help. Thanks CaveMann
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 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!

@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I’ve watched 3 of your shows Took a ride today It was amazing I was relaxed still need to work on a couple things I’ve only had my Electra glide for a week I can’t believe how much you have helped Thanks again
Enjoy your videos very much. May God bless you,your family and all who practice with you.
Thank you very much Cliff!👍🏾
I really enjoy and appreciate these videos and your attitude. I watched these last night and went out today and went from a 2 to a 4 in 1 hr of riding. I wish I could come take this class. Looks so fun and informational. Thank you so much for all you do..
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊 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!
Fantastic instruction. Really helps everyone watching.
Thank you very much!
Making the world a safer and better place thx my brother! I will be spending lots of time with the practice drills you have here!
Thanks! It’s my pleasure. 😊
You are a natural teacher! You mastered the craft, can see their mistakes, then genuinely and compassionately correct your students. Their progress is obvious. Thank you for all you are doing. Would you consider doing a few classes/ hours near Philly? I could probably roust up 6-10 guys to cover your expenses and then some.
And even more importantly.... Thank you Lt Simmons, for your service
Hey Frank. Thank you for watching and subscribing!👍🏾😁 Also, thank you for the compliment!
Philly is a bit far. It would be pretty expensive for you guys. 👍🏾
Robert, you have the patience of a saint with good humor. This was a great instructional video. Your commitment is astounding.
Thanks Dana!!
Spot on Dana, very well said!
Helping riders to improve their skills is a good thing and potential saving lives. I take classes every year and practice as often as I can and it has made riding much more enjoyable.
Absolutely! It's so much more enjoyable to do something when you're confident in what you're doing. Good for you! Keep practicing!
It’s a long drive from Alberta unfortunately haha. It’s a fantastic that you do this, it’s a tough thing to do and I do practice regularly. Love your videos and they are now a staple of my TH-cam viewing! Take care and Merry Christmas ✌🏼
Thanks! I’m happy to hear you practice regularly. Merry Christmas!
Coach, Lt., Brother Simmons you are very much appreciated!!! Thank you for the dedication and drive you have to give back!! God Bless you and your Family!! Good riding everyone who participated!! Wood Jr. man, your zest for life and enthusiasm is contagious bro!! Bottle it up and ship it around the world!!! You all are a joy to watch!!! Happy Holidays!! Blessings bestowed upon you all!!!
Hey. Thank you very much!! Happy holidays to you as well!😊
"I'd make a horrible woman not being able to keep my legs open that long".... baaaahaaaaaa 😂😀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
I hope a lot of riders find this channel. i will definitely share it with all my riding friends, Its better than a private lesson .Cant wait till spring living here in Chicago to try out and PRACTICE all these lessons. Thanks for all these free tutorials. Want you to know that all your time and dedication is much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and the family.
.
Thanks for that Ross! It’s appreciated! It’s my pleasure! Happy holidays!😊

😂😂
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle So, I hadn't yet seen the newer vids where this became a thing. I thought it was just a funny comment. Now I realize it's a whole damn movement.
Also, fantastic channel. Really really great content and superb instruction. You can really tell you just have a passion for what you do and I love that you also take pride in your video production quality.
I live in Dallas, TX now, but have family in Georgia. May have to pay them a visit so I can come to you for a weekend session if I can ever get a bike. Dealerships near me got nothin' right now.
Side note: Had a motor unit in front of me today in traffic and I was watching to see if he followed your rules. Like clockwork.
@@ericlowery339 yeah I guess it is a movement! This is Preloader Nation!!
If you ever make it down here, that would be great! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed. Also, thank you for the compliments!
Another informative, challenging, and entertaining video Robert, I appreciate your dedication, you are making a difference.
Thank you very much Ken!
I would be there to practice if I were closer!
I know you would Karen.😊

Been riding 40 + years. I practiced for the first time since I was 16. LOL. im a 2 going on 3 . U turn 2 1/4 spaces figure 8 2 1/2 spaces. End of 1st session. Im loving slow riding. It makes riding fun again. Thanks to you. Im coming from north in jersey. I will make a practice session as soon as I can .
That’s awesome! My pleasure. God willing, I’ll be here when you’re ready to come down. 👍🏾
And those I-turn and figure 8 numbers are very impressive. I think you’re shorting yourself on the numbers on your rating scale. 😊
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle thank you but I need to Practice from you I really could use a coach.. im apprehensive still. But perfect practice makes perfect and your the one that can help me i know it .much respect 🙌
@@bassmanjtfunk I’m here when you get here. 👍🏾
A great training session. I really love that it's the whole session and you can see the good with the bad and the gradual improvements throughout the session. As a Coach you are very patient and exude positivity which is perfect for those practicing with you :) Definitely going to keep watching as you give lots of great pointers that I want to try out when the weather improves.
Thank you very much! I don't think I've looked forward to spring more in my life than I am right now!😄
Great video , thanks for helping
Great information for me!
👍🏾
Thank you for these videos and the time you put into making it. Wish you were based in Dallas 😊
Thank you very much!
Excellent lessons. Thank you for sharing your skills.
I took up riding 5 years ago. I took the basic riders course and I’m now riding a Dyna Lowrider. I’m an older rider and I’m 5’5” tall. I study and I practice at a local college on a few weekends each season and your videos have shown me that 1) I need more slow-speed practice and I need to enroll in BRC2 this year. I have a FB group and my goal is to increase interest in riding and doing so safely. I taught my gf to ride and safety is #1. Your videos are perfect for her (and me) to understand where we need focus. Thanks again for all you do!
Hey Ace! Thanks for watching and subscribing!😊👍🏾
Very nicely done Robert. You look great and the cyclists are really doing a great job. With proper instruction significant improvement is achieved immediately as shown by the video! BRAVO! God bless you and I’m very happy to see you are sharing your vast knowledge in safe motorcycle operation! Thanks for the refresher!
Thanks a lot John!!
Coach. When I first started riding I paid over $400 for a Harley Davidson class that taught similar techniques. Knowing you could make a killing by teaching these critical skills but doing simply for the love of "paying your training forward" - You're a godsend!! And while I haven't attended your class yet (due to weather :)) I appreciate you!!
Hey Duke. Thanks brother! We will connect at some point. 👍🏾
i am so thankful for your page, i am excited to start practicing my slow riding skills as they are currently at 1 as i am a self taught rider. I will be taking a course at the end of this month but i have learned so much and already feel like a safer and smarter rider from your page. Keep the videos coming please!
It’s my pleasure. 😊 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!
Hi Robert, just a thank you from Wales in the UK. Been watching these sessions since I bought my Ultra Limited Low last May. Never had such a big bike before but your great videos are helping no end to increase my confidence at low speed stuff. Every time I go out your voice is in my ear with friction zone, brake and head. At 70 the head isn't so quick these days but it's getting there. Thanks again.
Thank you very much! I'm happy to help!👍🏾😊
Great job again LT. Hoping that you come back down to the West Coast of Florida, again. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thanks!! Happy holidays!
Recently purchased a M109r. Working on slow speed practice so I can join the class when you come to Maryland.
Sounds good! 👍🏾
Awesome, love the videos, keep them coming.
Thanks Clint!!
Loving these videos
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊
Man this is just awesome... free good training... I’ma use all these techniques... confidence is everything...
Thanks!! So true!!👍🏾
Dude you’re really a beautiful person. I enjoy your videos very much and your very incredible positive personality. You have inspired me and helped me to be a better rider thank you! Jack
Hey Jack. 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!
Robert I think your instructional posts are fantastic. I spend a lot of time on the roads (in and around greater Sydney Australia) and I see a lot. There needs to be a general increased level of driver / rider skill and awareness. You are doing this. Well done.
Thanks Warrick!
Keep-up man, awesome videos! Thanks for content
Thank you! My pleasure.
Man if I'm near Atlanta Bro, I'm calling you.....Great class.
Thanks Marlon, but remember I'm about 4.5 hours away from Atlanta.
Great video LT, I thought the part about Kevin’s track suit was hilarious 👍👍🇺🇸
😂 Thanks John!
When I ride my motorcycle, I hear your voice talking to me about "trust and believe," "cover the rear brake," "preload and keep it loaded, " and 10 pushups... haha
That's awesome Jenni! I love it!😄👍🏾
The hardest part for me in the beginning is that I was turning my head but my eyes were "fish eyed" and not looking
where my head was pointed. Once I made a point to look where my head was pointed my turns got tight...almost scared
me how much better it got in one try...lightning strike!!!! Thanks again for all you do! I hope you are doing this in the summer,
I may make a trip to see you!
Hey fellow lighting strike victim!😂 My pleasure. I plan on doing this in the summer as well. Of course I will be starting earlier than noon because it will be hot!
Great video Robert. Two big take offs for me is the need for consistency with preload and clutch in when Initiating turns. Thanks again.
Hey Wade. That's awesome! Keep practicing brother.😂
What a session. And good one on Kevin, with the Purple Rain !!! 😆 🤣 😂 Rick coming down from Virginia to practice with you was great. He did a fine job making improvements. I'm enjoying watching Kevin come back and keep working on his stuff. Scared me a couple times letting that cluth out so abruptly, but still glad to see him out there consistently. Was wondering what adjustments he could make to fit the bikes layout better as a shorter guy. Your suggestion to scoot up in the seat is a good start. It sure would be nice to see the F 150 guy come back with his bike. We all can use a little brushing up on our skills. These riders are clearly making progress when they spend an afternoon with you and the cones. I could see Sam out there working on the exercises he knew he needs to move on to other exercises. Good work everyone.
Hey Don. Yes it was fa lot of fun! The people that come here are all great! Good attitudes with no egos. Kevin is getting much better and much sooner than I anticipated. Especially for the motorcycle that he's riding. Thanks for the excellent feedback buddy!
As usual your videos are awesome I watch you and Wood Junior I’m trying to to get my own TH-cam channel started of me and my family practicing love your stuff I love knowledge I love learning I really love valuable information that is so hard to come by these days and I love that everybody that comes out all of y’all are just so positive and in today’s world you know how hard that is to find all the love and positiveI appreciate all the continent brother
Thanks Jason! That’s very much appreciated! I can’t wait to see you and your family practicing!
bonjour depuis la France !!! vos vidéos sont génials , les plus claires , merci pour tous ces conseils
Man I wish I knew what this said... Can anyone translate.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle translation-hello from France !!! your videos are awesome, the clearest, thanks for all these tips
@@kevinelsey7102 Wow thanks Kev!👍🏾 Awesome!
Hey Hans. Thank you! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Really excellent videos! I’ve been riding for years, but have always been bad at slow maneuvers. I’ve been practicing some of the techniques you mention to get better. One big problem I’ve been used to is never using the rear brake when going slow. After watching your videos I’m now reconditioning myself to use the rear brake instead of the front at slow speeds.
Thank you very much Jesse! You are not alone with that. Most riders rear brake pads are like brand new and they've had their motorcycle for years.😂 But I'm extremely proud of you for making the decision to recondition yourself. We're always learning brother.👍🏾
Awesome video . It's 36* & snow/rain mix outside in Idaho now 🥶 Looking forward to spring!😁 Thanks for sharing and looking forward to practice time. (FLIP) You as a retired motor officer. Could be doing anything you wanted to but yet you take the time to share your knowledge, Thank you.
To see the riders progress was enjoyable to watch.
Video watched =rider inspired and looking forward to more videos.
Sounds great! Thanks!
Kevin is old school (like me) i took a Msf when transitioning from street to cruiser bike and honestly after the class i felt like all my years riding i was doing 70% of things wrong he did great i think., some guys might need to always see things first and then explained as for woods he needs to adjust them bars and stay focused, But again another great lesson, cant wait for the snow to go away to go out and practice.
Whats up. Yes Kevin did excellent! Thank you!
Another great video! I learn a new technique with every video!
Oh.... what helmet do you wear, no mushroom head!
Thanks! I have no idea what helmet that is. I got it from Amazon. I plan to buy another one that maybe matches my bike.
Lol at wood jr... hey did the figure 8... what?????!!!!!
Yes he did!!👍🏾
Can’t wait till spring/summer to come to Savannah to learn these techniques. Hopefully, you will be still doing the practices then. I enjoy your videos bro. The only recommendation I would make is to produce shorter videos maybe 20 mins long! All the info is great bro!👍🏾
Thanks De'Monte! Trust me man I know and I do try to make them as short as possible. However, because I know there may always be content that benefits some, but not all, to ensure nothing helpful is left out, I include everything that I feel may be beneficial. The benefit is everyone has the ability to move past anything they don't want/need to see.
I also know that people will sit down to watch a movie for 2+ hours for entertainment purposes only. I believe these videos provide education as well as a little bit of entertainment.
Lastly, the benefit of TH-cam is you can watch videos in intervals and when you come back to them, your place is saved.😊👍🏾
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I watch in 45 min chunks, because I know I can come back and finish at a later time.
This was an awesome video. Its like its giving me confidence just by looking at your videos. I picture myself on my bike, can't wait for the warm weather. Just order my cones. Add me to your practice notifications and one day I know I will make it there. And location so I know we're to go lol great job. Keep them coming 🤣
Thanks Johnnie! It all starts with the mind so that's good. Send me an email so I can add you to the list.👍🏾
I like the fact that you aren't afraid to show when you failed. You could've edited that out.
Of course Antonio. Thank you. It's so important to keep that part in there.👍🏾
I heard what I’ve been missing you say. Clutch in on the turns then engage the clutch. I hope that’s correct.
Yes but only when it’s necessary and even then, very briefly.
Hi Robert Again a great video And again i have to watch them in 1 go from start to end
Is it okay that i download your slow speed lessons And convert them in to MP3 ?
So i can use it as voice lesson while iam practice outdoors ( 2 hrs video on my mobile internet is to much )
Hey! Absolutely! I made the videos to help, so if that helps you, go right ahead.👍🏾😊
I love your channel, and as soon as I get another bike this upcoming season, I'll be practicing everyday. I noticed that you blip the throttle in-between turns, is that just a habit or is it a certain technique? I may be visiting family in Florida this summer, I'd love to come practice with you and the guys if I can. I live in Salem Massachusetts, so it'll be a great ride😎🤘
Hey buddy! Thank you for watching and subscribing and for the compliment! Yes that’s a habit. I use to do it to get the RPM’s up right before a turn, but now I don’t need to thanks to the PRELOAD.👍🏾😀
Man that would be quite a ride!
Practice video number 4. Man I'm learning so much, practice, I only had my motorcycle for almost a month. I'm learning so much. Now I passed the written MSF test, can you advise on were to take the physical test,?

Hey Robert, was wondering what your best advice for a young cat (20 yrs). Just got my license this past August and am looking at purchasing a used Honda shadow maybe this coming week. Love the cruiser style bike and your videos. Really satisfies my urge to ride while I patiently wait to get my own reps in someday. Thank you for paying it forward!
Hey Pedro. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Glad to learn you love my videos!
I say go for it brother! Keep me apprised on what happens please.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle will do.
Appreciate all that your sharing with us Robert!. I’ve been observing some of your students over the last few sessions. One of the things that stood out to me with some of them(Wood Jr being one). Riders with ape hangers don’t have the same degree of control as those with shorter handlebar heights. In your opinion, is that a hindrance for riders when it come to slow speed manoeuvres?. Thanks again Brutha, Bless!🙏🏾
Hey Sagee. Thanks for watching and subscribing. If you noticed, I did the figure 8 on Wood Jr's motorcycle with no problem at all.
I guess like all things...practice-practice-practice till it becomes second nature & comfortable
@@sageewong454 exactly!😊
Thats a big tire on that 109r like a 240 or 280.... reminds me of that time I put a car tire on a bike.... never again.

Hello Robert. My name is Francisco and I'm writing from Colombia, South America. This is just to thank you for your videos. I'm trying to find the best spot to practice and learn following them. My slow speed skills rate is maybe a two and I've been riding motorcycles for about twelve years.☹️ A lot to improve...😬
Hey Francisco. Thank for watching and subscribing! It's my pleasure. Don't be concerned about where you are. Instead focus on where you're going to be. Consistently practicing will get you there I assure you!👍🏾
SP: Sufficient Power = Self Propulsion. Wondering if your buddy Kevin has thought about a seat that pushes him further forward on the bike? Just a thought.
“SP”... I love it! You know what Glen, that’s an excellent idea! I’ll bring it up to him. EXCELLENT idea!!!!👍🏾
it's 54 in Wyoming today but a slight breeze of around 40 to 60 mph
Hey Kev. 40 to 60 mph winds = no practice brother. 😊
Hey hey 👋🏾 Robert . Great job 👏🏾 i’m proud of your service to the motorcycle brother hood i salute your efforts and patients with everyone merry Xmas to you and your family. Leonard from cali rackem 👊🏾🙏🏾☝🏽👋🏾
Hey Leonard! Thanks man! Much appreciated! Happy holidays!😊
im new in riding motorcycle. my question is if it is possible to pass the california dmv skill test in a 2008 road glide? and what motorcycle would you recommend to make it easy...
thanks I live Fresno County....
Hey Venancio. It's absolutely possible! If you are using the proper techniques, the motorcycle you use doesn't really matter. I learned on a Road King. You can do it brother!👍🏾
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle thanks. 🙏
I have been watching your videos and believe me I have learned a lot from you. thank you Sir....

@@deborahf3738 truer words have never been spoken!😊
I think Sam is on to big of a bike for him.
bro your lessons are going to be even better when you mount a camera on your bike........ cant wait
Yeah thanks. I had no plans to do that because I didn’t think it was beneficial for learning. However, I had to remember that everyone learns differently and you never know what will make something click for someone.
A lot of people don't understand about turning their head, thinking that just turning your eyeballs will get the job done. For those, it might be a goodness to have a camera mounted to your helmet - just to show them where your *head* is pointed. Either that, or somehow get a 360° camera and show the forward looking angle in one portion of the screen and another portion of the screen showing your head - just to show where you're looking as you approach a turn. Just some thoughts. And, yes, I know that all takes more $$.

Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 Yes that issue was addressed in later sessions.
Is there anyone in San Antonio who’s like to get together and practice??
Tagging along with this question -- Is there anyone along the I-64 corridor between Richmond VA and Virginia Beach VA that would like to get together for practice? I have cones! :)
I think it would be a real hoot to practice with Robert, but that would be quite a long haul for one afternoon -- especially in the current weather.
@@scottquier929 Just got back from practicing with Robert. I’m in the Gloucester area and can meet up from time to time somewhere if you like.
@@rt2489 - Please contact me via email at scott.vendor@cox.net with a subject line of "Riding Practice". This is a "thow away" account to which I direct all but friends to and then, every once in a while, throw away all the messages. But, I'll be looking for your email! I'm using it here because this a public forum; I'm hoping to use more personal forms of contact in the very near future.
Its going to be interesting to see to what extent that email inbox blows up over the course of the next couple of weeks.
All women don’t keep their legs open for a long period of time, can’t believe you made that comment. 😔 very sad
C'mon lighten up. Nothing was meant by that.
