I'm 65 years older and have been on a bike from about 10 years old From Detroit to California to Germany all over the United States and Germany you are Dam good.
I've been riding for 40 years plus, a person can never know everything. Your tips have made me a smarter safer rider..
I've been riding for nearly 53 years and still learning new stuff. I'm in Scotland though so we get on and off our bikes on the other side! ;-)
Agree!
"COMPLETE REFUND FOR EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TH-cam" HAHHAHAHAHHAHA brilliant
When i first started riding, I stumbled across a great parking lot that I practiced my turns. It helped me SOOO much! I spent many hours just practicing different scenarios. I felt much more confident. I wish i had these videos back then.
Im 55 years old and have been riding bikes since 5 years old, I thought i was an expert but you showed me i was not,Thank You so much for introducing me to counter steering.Now instead of freakin out and tensing up when situations arise,I feel confident in being safe.God knows i have had my share of crashing,I can say it never used to bother me to hit the dirt but with age its not as easy to bounce back LOL!
Also, I have ridden many years and thought I knew everything about riding. But I have learned so many things from your videos that I didn't know. You have improved my riding abilities very much, even in my sixties. Thank you for what you do.
Glad to help.
Donna should start her own TH-cam channel!!! I actually like her riding skillls more xD Shes so smooth on the turns :D
Hello, I have been watching your videos now for about a month and a half and have learned so much. I'm 74 years old and have noticed that my skills have been slipping pretty severely. After watching you for a couple of weeks I decided to go to a parking lot that's empty on Sundays. I practiced what I saw on your videos for about 45 minutes and was amazed on how much better I was able to handle my harley . Thank you so much for putting your videos on you tube. Your course DVDs are going on my Christmas list.
74 years old and riding a Harley... holy smokes that's amazing. I'm currently 21 and working on getting my Motorcycle Licence (in the Netherlands). Good luck and stay safe.
Parking lot skills testing is just as fun as zipping around on the back roads
Holy shit I learned something new! Riding 20 years. My new favorite TH-cam channel
I been riding off & on for many years, Now at age 67 , Just getting back to riding again, bought a Suzuki Boulevard C50 last week, This video will help a lot Thanks. I will call for your videos, at the hours you posted
Yesterday, I found my bike on it's side where I parked it. I believe someone hit it or pushed it over (Saturday Night). In my heartbreak, I looked up bikes tipped over and found "Afraid of dropping your motorcycle." I found your videos very informative and Impressive! You guys make riding a larger touring bike (I usually ride sportbikes) look easy especially at low speed, which we know that it isn't. I've had my motorcycle license for about 21 years but rode continuously for about 5. I've subscribed to your channel and continue to learn more, Thank You!
You 2 are great! I always said, you ride a bike, you don't carry it, so weight does not matter.
I had to wait 45 years to get my first Harley, I find myself nervous as heck every time I get on her. I’m so glad I came across your videos, I had no idea about the clutch, thank you. I still have to get my motorcycle endorsement which means I’ve got a lot more to learn.
It’s been 5 months how have you advanced
Also I highly advise that you take the next step and enroll into the intermediate and advance course classes in your area to help you to polish your skills to infinity and beyond!…And keep safe out there!
I have been riding for 27 years and have over 650000 miles on my touring bikes, and it's a funny thing I still don't know it all. Thanks for all the great tips.
Your riding tip are absolutely correct. I was a 13 year Motor and instructor. Look at a cone, hit a cone. Haha.
Thanks been riding 12 years always trying to be a safer driver your video gave me great tips
It is mesmerising watching that big ass bike move so gracefully
I bought Jerry Motorman Palladino videos I believe almost 20 years ago after having a serious accident. This is awesome knowledge for a biker. Still today although riding a lighter bike I use this techniques and tips. Thank you for your work and sharing. Best bucks you can spent if you take your life seriously riding a bike.
MotorMan, I’m so glad you included your wife in this video. This proves my point to the so-called old school riders, that it’s technique not the size of the rider that matters. Who in their right mind would ever want their money back from the best riding instruction in the world? Because of your training, many bikers are telling me to become an Instructor for MSF. It’s all because of your DVD’s and diligent practice. Thank you for all you do. I’m grateful.
Thank you HasanWarrior.
I'd like to add to your point about size HasenWarrior...the same goes for kickstarting.. OF course in PROPERLY tuned condition, technique is everything. I've seen plenty of big ol boys that failed miserably . Pardon my hijack but Motor Man does know ,moreover he understands it all directions and likely turns in for the nights with motorcycles dancing in his head.
Your wife looks like she's as skilled as you are if not more lol
Seriously... I did not hear a sound from the rail or anything! I wish I was as half good as she is.
God bless you for sharing these life/money saving skills with others sir✌
She does it better than you do. Hahaha. Super graceful. New subscriber. Rode for 10 years before having children. Never had a big bike. Turned 50 and am now riding a street glide. I took the MSF course and glad they made me do it! Thanks for the knowledge and drills, tips and examples. Not every motorcyclist exudes the same measure of dedication to the art form of riding. My wife & I usually laugh when we see the “LOOK OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES” sticker. We laugh because we agree that we SHOULD look out for them because too high a percentage of them are dangerous to others on the road. Unlike a car, motorcycles aren’t for everyone and required constant practice and upkeep. Skill decay can come quickly but is easily defeated with a couple trips to the parking lots per season. Keep on rollin’
I haven't ridden in 40 years and went from a Honda 360 to my new/used Yamaha 950 V-Star. I was terrified my first time out on the bigger bike but these videos have eased my mind. I'm practicing these tips as I prepare for my riding academy class coming up on October 4. Your material has put my mind at ease and I'm now very prepared and excited to begin my new adventure. Can't thank you enough!
I went to the 1800! VTX I love it
I have been riding 40+ years. Great tips for those who have ridden for a while. Thank you.
Thank you Motorman. I’ve been riding for 25 years and thought I knew what I was doing..... turns out I don’t 😬. I just bought a bike when I was fifteen and started riding just trying not to kill myself. Now I’m forty and still haven’t been properly instructed how to ride. I found your channel about a month ago and I’ve been out almost once a week practicing the stuff you teach and it’s greatly improved my ability to control my bike. This stuff is priceless and I really appreciate you putting it out there for free. I’m also glad I am able to admit I don’t know how to ride properly and my ego isn’t getting in the way of learning. That’s probably your biggest obstacle in getting people to realize they need instruction. Especially all the “experienced” riders out there. Keep up the good work Motorman!!!!
It's always a treat to watch Donna make it look so smooth and stylish.
Thanks for making your instruction DVD's available for download.
You are welcome!
I really enjoy the videos and the dry humor. Makes me feel right at home. Keep up the good work.
Nothing but respect for your knowledge and its awesome you share it with other people. Can't wait to take one of your classes.
Well Done, Sir &
Wife was Flawless…
Without One Scrape!🌟
I have been riding bikes since I was 15 now 68, I have taken several courses over the years and I am always learning something new. I learned from the best, Police and Highway patrol. I like these videos because you never stop learning something new. One of the lessons I learned was from my Step-dad he said you don't ride it you wear it. Just like all the gear you wear. Motorcycles have a mind of their own. Your in control and you make the bike do what you want it to. Practice makes perfect, but never stop learning from others.
Jerry,you should be in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.You had saved thousands of lives with your videos.I am one life you have saved. Thank you so much.
Been riding for more than 30 years, learned the old-fashioned way. Went out and did everything the wrong way and somehow survived. Yet. I know my slow-speed skills suck. Bought Jerry's course and have been paying attention to it and practicing the slow work. The other day I was done filling up at the gas station and there was a car directly in front of me with the exit directly behind me. Made a nice little U-Turn using Jerry's principles and, although it wasn't the prettiest and tightest anyone had ever done, I got pretty stoked about it.
Thanks for putting these common-sense explanations out there for those of us who are learn-it-by-doing it survivors of our youthful foolishness.
I luve the clutch camera!!! revolutionizing the ' video teach community', nice job!
Wish I Could Spend A Day Behind This Guy On The Road Before My Course. - Ride Out To Canada :)
Clutch cam is the best innovation in instructional bike videos I’ve seen
the Motorman is the best thing that ever happened to the civilian motorcycle community. I run an annual "Skills Day" for our CMA chapter where we watch Ride Like a Pro and then go out and practice. We do this at the beginning of the riding season every year in May. These videos are always well received.
Great to know.
Just discovered your TH-cam Channel and I have been missing some excellent videos!
My Wife took the Ride Like a Pro “RLP” class in Waldorf MD and it was the best thing she ever did to help keep her safe! I watched her take the class and now even after riding for 40 years I too want to take the class! The RLP class should me mandatory for every rider in the USA before they are permitted to get their motorcycle endorsement !
We in the UK have to do 'Compulsory Basic Training' (CBT) to ride a small bike only, and for bikes over 35kW power, you need the full training package and then to pass your UK bike test. About half fail first time - usually because they skimped on the training ! It is your life - do it properly !

Love this guy. Thought I knew how to ride until I started watching him.
Just bought Ride like a Pro. Great tool. Worth it's weight in gold 👌
Great video Jerry-you are the best!!!
Love hearing those TABS!! They are made right here in my home town of Lincoln, NE! I am really happy that they are getting the attention of
many! They just make the M8's sound awesome! Thanks for your videos and your RLAP team of instructors! I took the class twice this year in
Iowa and will probably do it again next year!
Dammit!
Learned something new...AGAIN!
My brain is cannot take much more of this...
LOL
Your the best Jerry....thanks for the vids here on TH-cam...
Great tips Sir! I never drop a bike in my 40 years BUT last summer was on grass was on bike push off to back up foot flip under me BUT Thank GOD stand was still down....BUT like to learn this right way And steal your tips and pass them down!!!
The Fab-two!! Great teachings! Thank you!
You always make me laugh, definitely learned a tremendous amount from you as well. Thank you. Your wife is very skilled as well.
I took a motorcycle safety course many years ago and they told me to get on and off on the left side but I knew right away they were WRONG. I'm a big guy and there just isn't enough room for me to squeeze between the handlebar and sissy bar on the left, so out of necessity I have always used the right side from day one. Thanks for finally verifying what came natural to me as many people have tried to argue with me over the years on this very point.
Excellent handling regards from the UK
Your absolutely correct, that’s how I get on and off my FLHTCU every time, and some of the looks I get, I just have to laugh!🤣🤣
I'm a new rider, been doing practice on my 08 Kawasaki Vulcan that I picked up from my dad before my course and have been doing alright in parking lots. However, and I know my course will at least discuss some of it, but I look towards videos like yours late after my shifts so I have a better foundation towards my education of the bike...and not be a liability towards myself or others on the road. Thank you for posting the tips that you have so far, I'm sure they'll come in handy once I start really driving through my favorite scenic routes here in Washington State! :D
You can never LEARN ENOUGH! Thanks Jerry!
Your riding tips and instructional videos. Are more helpful than you know. For one you can always learn something new and useful about riding . It’s when people think they know everything is when they get into trouble. Keep doing what your doing . Thanks man
That’s some awesome control at slow speeds. Thank you sir
I just got done with your ProRiding School today and it was absolutely awesome! You guys know what you’re doing and I learned a lot. Thanks-
Thanks for taking the time to share
Been riding for 47 years and still learning. Great videos.
Thank you as always Jerry.
I always support anything that you post and you are telling people to do it the right way thank you for all of your instructions
Impressive and very smooth turning technique in the intersection portion. I am going to want something much lighter than my current mount to attempt that tight a turn. Excellent safety series !
i happened on to one of you videos and just enjoyed listening to you. you are a character!
Your videos helped me immensely when I was doing precision riding drills and stunts with a Shrine Motor Patrol. Thank you sir. You helped make our parades look awesome...I just wish parents wouldn't stick their kids out in the street when we had narrow roads to work with and 10 bikes doing tight figure 8's and such. I know a few times I was just a couple of inches from running over some kids' feet. Keep 'em behind the curb please.
appreciate your knowledge and experience and sharing with us. Blessings sir.
Thanks motorman. Stumbled across your channel about a week ago. Didn’t realize how good a driver I wasn’t. Learned more in the last week watching then I have in the last 20 years riding. Snow it melting and got 20 cones. Now to apply these techniques to the bike. Leaning is my definite weakness. At least for another few days.
You both are Awesome .Thank you for sharing all these videos.I watch everything you both do
Thanks Melissa!!
Hi You Have Probably Saved My Life And Maybe Others , With Your Instructions. Thank You. I’m 74 Years Old I Wanted To Start Riding Again. It’s Been Years 24 Years Ago I Was Riding A 750 Kawasaki Vulcan. I Got A 2006 Dyna LOWRIDER Now, And Dropped It Twice Already In My Driveway. After Watching Your Techniques I Feel Better Now To Try Riding It.
Well done! Best time I’ve spent on you-tube. Thank you!
Always good to have these reminders.
Thank you Jerry you give so many tips and training courses away for free in these videos. I can not tell you how much you have taught me. Of course being a perpetual beginner in my mindset helps a lot. It keeps me humble. I plan to buy your courses soon (September 2021). I have decided to get the USB version. That way I can practice during the entire offseason as weather permits. I live in the Pacific NW and we get the rains in the winter here in the Portland area. I will be more ready and safer in 2022. I cannot thank you enough for helping me stay safe on the road.
Very nice. 50+ years i have been getting on/off on the right side! Nice to know why.
Can you imagine Motorman laying the Law down on you back when he was an MC officer?
SteveSeiwald GET ON THE GROUND ‼️
Yeah back then you actually respected police!!! Not like today's pansies!! "I'm gonna video tape you".
He really reminds me of my uncle who was also a motor officer for several years, they could be brothers!👍
Fantastic video!! Learn so much everytime I watch YOUR videos!! Thanks for helping me be a better rider, a safer rider!! Been riding 17 years but.....always room for improvement.
Love your videos! Thank you for doing what you do!
Love your videos. Thanks for setting us straight. My dad would have loved to call you motor mouth if he was still ridding his knucklehead around, he's in a better place now. Stay cool Motor Man and thanks again.
Thank you for doing these videos. I haven't ridden for 50 years (450 Honda) and just purchased a 2002 Yamaha Road Star Silverado. I now realize how much I don't know about riding. Planning to order some of your videos TODAY. Thanks again and please continue to educate us uninitiated folk. The roads will be much safer because of your efforts. Word of advice. When your wife puts on three pounds, pretend like you didn't notice...
first time watching. i'm 75 and used to ride a 650 bsa for years when i was a kid. i recently got on a 250 and dropped it first ride out. just like you said, i forgot to watch ahead and panicked. i've recently been practicing on a honda gold wing where going slow is scary. all these tips are gold!
Welcome aboard!
You’re wife is AMAZING! I just took my BRC and endorsement tests this week. I can really appreciate the skill that’s involved here. 👍
Ride Like a Pro video is my staple for instruction and refreshing the excellent tips and skills therein. Highly recommend Motorman's videos!
Jerry, thanks for the video. I learned a lot and am going to practice these exercises right now. Keep rubbing it in - 5'3" and 128 - wow, what a lucky man you are!
after driving Japanese motorbikes since 1984, and harley since 1999, i can still learn things, thanks. Roger from the Netherlands!!!
Been riding 20 years ,but most of my bikes have been so small it didn't matter. But I'm getting a Goldwing so it's time to learn some real skills.
Great videos! I have been riding since I was 10 years old. I'm now 52 and still learning as much as I can.
Thanks a lot man for sharing your experience, for nubbes and old man bikers we may get rusty never stop learning , keep the shiny side up
Love the tips! You and the wife are awesome! Thanks so much!
Excellent video. I've always had problems making u-turns. You just made it easier for me.
I love the new softail frames with higher clearance. No more footboard scraping, and the lean angle is sick! Great video btw
She’s really great, most impressive!!!
this is actually inspiring me to go out and practice more. Gotta love your skillz
Awesome! Thank you!
Enjoy your show and interesting comments thank you from Australia mate.
Another great video with very helpful information thanks
Like the rest been riding for ever n I’m still learning,Thanks
Thanks Motorman. Great information as usual. You have made me a better rider.
Very good, just bought my son who just graduated a vt 1100 shadow, he has been riding and racing dirt bikes since he was 5 he put about 50 miles on my heritage last summer, and I absolutely will be getting these videos for him, even I can learn more as well, great job on these videos, very informative 👍
I think y’all are the best riders I’ve ever seen!
YOU'RE VIDEOS REALLY TEACH ME ALOT MOTORMAN THINK OF 👍
You have saved more lives than a super hero. Thank you Sir.
Thanks for taking time to make these videos.I am always interested in improving my riding and you help alot. You're very inspiring.
Jerry Palladino is the OG motorcycle riding video coach. Years ago before TH-cam was even a twinkle a tech VC's eye, I bought one of training vids.
