- I hear so many riders say that their motorcycles are too heavy and has a high center of gravity. The fact is, if you know the three motor officer techniques that I teach, there is no such thing as too heavy or high center of gravity. Watch this 5'2", 120 lb. woman whip her stock height motorcycle around like a toy. Marianne is not a motor officer, she just knows the motor officer techniques.

I do a handful of maneuvers every week or two. I do the figure 8's until I'm smooth with them. I do emergency stops, obstacle avoidance, opposite turning, short turns, long turns slow and fast, hard turns from stopped and anything else I feel like I need to work on. This is what I've learned. 1 - My bike doesn't perform the same in different temperatures and conditions. 2 - My state of mind makes a big difference (attitude). 3 - no matter how good I think I am, I have to practice to stay sharp.
Well said..
I wish everyone checked their state of mind before turning the key in their ignition.
Me too. I like having people watch when I whip my Victory Vision around in tight circles at very slow rates. People cannot believe that such a big bike is that nimble. I have to explain that it is the technique and not the bike in most cases.
You my friend are in position to survive an emergency! And enjoy your rides!
Have someone video your sessions. I see so much from looking at my technique on video. It just adds to my learning process and improvement.
I’ve watched this many times and I never get tired of it !
Great to see people riding bikes with skill at normal speed , unlike other channels on youtube.
I love this video xo
OK
There are different set of skills, I respect hard work and determination
Maaane you just playa hatin
Big fella: 'Women can't do a figure of eight within two parking spaces.' Marianne: 'Hold my sunglasses.'
He really is a pro. All this advice and it's free. Please keep releasing this kind of information
Yes it's free. But once in a while you could pick up one of my video's from ridelikeapro.com. That way, you'll have a step by step approach to learning all the exercises and the 3 techniques and I can keep this free youtube stuff coming😁
The videos ARE worth it! I have a triple set: Ride Like a Pro, Ride Like a Pro Short Cuts and Surviving the Mean streets! They make a great Christmas gift 🎁!
I'll try this if I ever find a dry parking lot here in England.
Yeah iam with you on that one. Roll on spring time
Dont forget: You Live on a smal Island. In 100 years, online the Highlands look out of the Water.
I took my motorcycle safety course in rainy 34F temps.... 20' radius U-turns... tons of fun... :)
You'll need more than 2 parking spaces in the UK😀 these are 'murkin sized parking spaces👍
Great tips, but could not get away from the thought 'Perfect woman' all through the video from 5:30 😵💫 😀
I'm glad you showed the lady pulling off those maneuvers . Im a shorter guy and this proves even I can do this with my frame and some practice.
Harleys have many things to criticize but “top heavy” is not one of them. They actually make a good beginner bike for this reason. I was LAPD motors in the late 60s and HD was the only police compatible big bore bike available. I used to dazzle the onlookers with slow riding and maneuvering which is easier than it looks with the HD. The drawbacks?…you figure that out.
Just got my 13th bike and it’s a Harley street glide and I’m amazed how maneuverable it is. I’ve had every make and style out there and I love my Harley. Time to find a parking lot and become one with the new bike
Jim Clark from WI, You're the man Jerry...love all your training videos!
Women on horses and bikes are the prototype of warrior women, strong, valiant, determined, and beautiful. I love women on bikes.
this is lifesaving and informative. the ability to "dodge" in traffic or make a tight u turn comes up way more than you think. i ride these roads in here west central florida daily, and a bike is great fun, but there is so much more than to just "get on and ride". practice counts (a lot!)
motorman has probably saved countless lives with these lessons.
i think it is AWESOME to see more and more women riders
Another great video, Jerry.
36 years I've been using the same techniques you teach, and they are life and flesh savers.
💅👴🚬💅YOUR ASS IZZ FAT

It's amazing how effective it is to look where you want to go. It's so important to turn your head and focus on where you want the bike to go.
In Maine and New Hampshire you can take classes to learn to ride like this. I had a friend who works at Laconia Harley and he both showed and taught me how to do it. It's crazy and fun to do.
I absolutely agree with you, the more knowledge you have, the more skill you possess, the better (and safer) rider that you become, the more fun it is to ride a motorcycle. Practice, practice, practice.
Absolutely!
I know this is a couple years old but great filmstrip. I know people that have had motorbikes for twenty or thirty years and still have limited skills. Good job. Rock on! Friction zone is free with the bike cracked me up.
That gal is Bad Ass......Clap-Clap i know some guys that couldn’t do that on there good days. I would like to thank you motor for making these video’s I think you save alot of lives out there teaching your riders if they listen to you. Keep up the great training, and keep it safe... i enjoy watching your videos
I have all of his videos and they are a lifesaver. If you are gonna invest in a bike, invest in his videos!!!
Not everyone gets the chance to young like I did but I dirtbiked since I was 11 and dirtbikeing helps a lot it gets you use to the clutch and turning and really everything I'm 16 now and I drive a 1700
Thank you so much Jerry. Makes total sense and I like the tip 'Go get a drink of water'. With us here in UK its more like a hot mug of tea. Kind regards Bob
Happy to say I’m a year in the riding game. Thank you for your tutorial videos sir very helpful..
She's got the talent!
Jerry is the most inspiring teacher!!! Dean Jackson, Seattle, WA
I'm thankful that your class jumpstarted my riding skills path.
I’ve been riding hd since I was 15, 46 years, and you taught me a lot of new skills, thanks motorman is the real deal!
As Motorman has said in his previous vieos, was it 46 years riding experience, or 1 year repeated 45 times?
@@WeaverJ576 it's actually frightning when people say they have been riding for so Long and they cant still do something Like this.
been riding 20 years. I need to go back to basics
I really appreciate your video and your techniques. I’m thinking about graduating up to a bagger from a slim age of Cours. I’m a shorter fella, but really enjoy my Harley’s been riding since I was 16. Thank you and God bless you.
Great video. I think the Figure 8 is the one exercise that riders should practice at least once a week. Good for maintaining coordination, flexibility and head and eye placement. Also for making the MC go exactly where one wants it to go.
@@MyUsernamehhereare you stupid? It's a practice maneuver to hone coordination. And I'm sure that woman could safely out ride your sorry arse any day of the week.
What a wonderful road to ride.
I enjoyed watching riding in normal speed thanks and God bless you all!!
That is one of the skills I love practicing. Not to mention people ask how you are able to do that. 😊
there are people who ask about my solowheel and say do a wheelie. i'm already on one wheel lol.
She actually did better than the man. Especially seeing how the motorcycle seems to get heavier as you ride it. Jerry said it weighs 850 lbs., then he said it weighs 900 lbs., then he said it weighs 950 lbs. LOL. All kidding aside. I really do enjoy watching your videos. Very good information to keep riders safe. Peace
Just bought my dream bike: 1997 carbed FXD and, boy, someone swapped the front forks for beefier ones. I sure had trouble manuvering my bike at first. But I'm always practicing.
100% PREACH IT Preacher! Practice is paramount. Unconscious competence. Take the time, go find your place and space and “just do it”. Motorman you rock! You are absolutely right. Love what you’re doing. Ride safe and ride and ride often.
Must be nice to have warm weather most of the time in FL but I wouldn't give up my mountain curves and views in VA and WV for that... really fun, sharp turns
Never rode big Bikes, got a Ultra classic years ago. Wasn't long I said there had to be a better way then I found your vids and riding became vastly more enjoyable and safer.
Glad to have helped.
I've been riding for 42 years. I love your school. It should be mandatory for a license. I got a Utah License back in 1985 and they actually gave a Great test. New York's test is way too easy. I would say that the riders watching should make sure the white lines in the parking lot they choose are just as big as in the video. I've found that some are much smaller. That's all and thanks for making riding safer.
thank you!
Your tips are wonderful, Jerry. I have been riding for less than 2 months doing almost daily practice. One of my neighbors saw me doing figure 8 in my parking lot. He came over and asked me "how long have you been riding?". It was a shock to hear me saying it is less than 2 months. He has been riding for about 8 years, and he says he cannot do those 2 parking spaces U-turns I do. You deserve a BIG thank you!
You're welcome, happy to help. Keep up the good work with your practice.
my bro bought a Streetglide this summer. I taught him to ride using a lot of these techniques and a few people have asked him the same question. "How long you been riding?''
It's actually shocking that he cant do those slow and tight turns.
i am doing my license right now and i already know where i have to work on.
I have been practicing your advice for a few years &After 50 yrs of riding with no accidents I have learned alot in the last 3 yrs from your channel than most of my riding "STRAIGHT"experience ,LOL.☆THANKS ,hope to take your course in the near future. (Knowing "counter steering & rear brake u turns have impressed many I ride with .《I'm always preaching your channel to ALL RIDERS -☆☆☆☆》THANKS ☆☆
Glad to help. Thank YOU.

Hi from the U.K., Just happened to find myself here by some strtange twist of fate! Always felt easier to do things like this on my glide rather than other bikes I've owned...
Great video, thanks for the instruction, that footboard scrape sounded familiar 😊 🍻👍🤙🖖🤘✌👌
Jerry is the very best-thanks so much!!!!!
I hit the like button just when you started saying girls can't do it you guys are funny
"Amateurs Practice Until They Get It Right; Professionals Practice Until They Can’t Get It Wrong"
Another excellent vid- thanks, Jerry!
Thank you for all your tips and help. It's winter time here in Oregon and the bikes away for the snow and ice. But looking forward to the spring and practicing your techniques that you are passing along here. Thank you!
According to Google Maps, that road in Citrus County, off US-41 is called E. Gobbler Dr. and not Gobble, like what a turkey does...lol. But, a good way to kind of remember it...
Amazing Skills! Thank you Jerry
Thank you, Jerry. It always a pleasure to be reminded of The Techniques. Hope you and your honey have a healthy and happy Thanks Giving.
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep making them!
Thanks for info about clutch, didn't know.
Thanks for the video guys. This really reinforces the essential slow speed skills.
We have some nice winding roads and hills in Highlands county too.....Good video Motorman.
Im a hard maneuvers Flight Instructor. Hard Maneuvering makes hard to knock down pilots, and bikers too.
Great to see, Great to listen. Learning&Enjoy in same time! Looking for next one. ;)
Geez, I gotta start practicing more!!
My folks live off of Gobble! right down the street from the hollow that burnt down. Im in Pittsburgh
I’ve been practicing these moves lately in empty car parks in England,, just got my goldwing and it tricky,,practice makes perfect tho, you make it look so easy 👍🇬🇧
Love it! Thanks for all the Awesome Videos!
Great video, I wish I had this knowledge when I rode a motorcycle in '85-'86 then had an accident that put me in a coma for over 4 days. Long recovery. I'm hoping to ride again. Thank you.
Great life saving instructions.Thank you Sir!!!
I’m looking to retire in Florida just need to find a great city to retire to. One of the things I do miss about California are the rides with my friends.
Thank you Jerry for providing your services to the public. ✌😎👌
Very informative and some impressive handling on these enormous machines......Now I like a Gobble as much as the next man but if you think that's a winding road then you need a trip to our wee Scottish countryside; and the surfaces are shit, and always wet. But we still love biking....... great channel..... stay safe
Thanks Motor Man great advice.
Love your straight up attitude
Very interesting video just shows what can be done with proper tuition
~ Beautiful to watch 👌 Nice motorcycles !
Thanks for the ride ...
With practice comes confidence--great videos
Go Mary Ann! She is a bad ass! I'm old with hip replacements I'm not sure I could even get into it now. Would like to tho
Love your vid's and look forward to taking your course one day. Been riding 40 years, never too old too learn something....
Thanks for a great video! Hello from Canada
Thanks for watching!
As usual great and informative video!
Iam a absolute beginner and this video is so motivating, thank you
I lived in Crystal River and always had a Motorcycle. Ozello and Gulf Beach road were the few curvy places to ride. I now ride Eureka Springs Arkansas where there are no strait roads!
Great. We just added an Arkansas RLAP school.
I bought my first bike and it's a 78 Goldwing, it's a project bike as she needs some tlc to get back out on the road but I'm taking classes in the spring and summer... I've already got some funny looks & questions. I'm 5'6 and 175lbs so I know with some training and experience I'll do just fine. Thank you for the encouragement when ppl just want to knock me down because I'm a female/little lady. Hah! They said the same thing when I bought my 1st CVPI. I like to ride big things what can I say? 😄
Thanks for the tips. I went from a 750cc to a 114 Street Glide Special. She's a freaking beast!
We do have a few short winding roads in Suwannee County Fl. also. I've been riding most of my life, and just started using these techniques. Some I already did unknowingly, but the friction zone I didn't think of on a motorcycle, but it works getting trucks out of the mud. I drive a truck for a living and the head and eyes works there too.
gracias.. excelentes consejos.
So you can use the friction zone while in 2nd gear to make them curves? New rider. I’m still practicing in parking lots and your lessons are the ONLY ones I’m using.
Felt freaked out about getting my first bike, which is a family Yamaha Vstar. But seeing this video i know I just need to keep up my practice, weight doesnt matter. It’s the skill 👍👍
At least you are starting out right by looking for information.
Stay safe, and have fun.
I started commuting on my roadking last year. Just riding 5 days a week, your skills get better. If your only putting 1k miles on your bike in a year, training is gonna make a nominal improvement in your skills.
On my ZX-14 I practice my figure 8’s on my street in the culdesac. It works good.
Great video Jerry. I watch everyone of them and my wife and I have had the privilege to see you ride in person up in Leesburg. Thank you for what you do sir. God bless.
Thank you.
2:28 i failed this figure 8 part of the MSF but now its basically my favorite thing to practice on my motorcycle
Saw your video tip on using the front brake in curves / turns. Thanks much!! It has made a huge difference.
That sounds pretty risky.
a wonderful twist of fate
Excellent skills!
I "Appreciate" you humor
Well done
Now, windy roads 😁
Well, once the snow is off the roads come on up to the GREAT NW 👍
Jerry, I have you to thank in much appreciation. I've been using the friction zone on my Goldwing DCT automatic. You had voiced some skepticism in the past and I'm here to tell you I ride like I fly. I control the bike, it doesn't control me. As it is in the cockpit, it is on the road. I run mostly in the Tour mode and it does everything I like and the friction zone makes that bike stable. Love the vids and advice. Keep it coming.
These are great techniques, I share these with a lot of people. I recently taught one of my club brothers the friction zone and he is killing it
Thank you kindly Motorman, I enjoyed watching this video. As I enjoy all your videos.
My pleasure!
She’s like hold my red bull and watch this !
Very good tutorial...thanks
I had some trouble getting the glide off the stand so I looked it up and there she was all 100#s of her showing me how to do it almost effortlessly
I've noticed that if you will turn the wheel far to the right it makes it a lot easier to lift the bike
@@terrysnider266 yes thats exactly What she did then she grabbed underneath the tank thanks I never had this delima until I ended up getting rheumatoid arthritis that and just getting along in age but I'm not that old yet either so what I cant muslw anymore I have to learn how to finesse
This is a solid exercise.
Now if only I had a bike to practice with.
2012 V Rod anniversary edition is what I took my in, and rode around in, in Indiana. Loved it.
Got me a 2006 V Rod as my first bike back in March. Love riding it down the Indiana backroads as well.
You dont know how important this is to learn slow turns as Jerry and his friends does here..and take a swingy ride with lot of right and left turns' and get custom to lean the bike without fear...Nice one Jerry ,take care there up the States..you'll make the roads great again :)
Anyone ever think a Jerry Palladino / Jerry Miculek video would be cool? Honestly I even thinking my first born son is gonna be named Jerry after these two legends
Jerry was a race car driver
Very easy to understand as always. Your videos are always helpful.
Glad you like them!
