Jerry its night v's day when we see someone new to your teachings & then see them at end of the riding class 🏍 Such a marked improvement with Your students 😊👍 This only means You are getting through to them with your messaging & the students are responding 🏍👍 If They didn't respect you & didn't bring the right attitude this wouldn't happen ! You must have the right mannerisms Jerry 😊 Cheers from down under cobber 🇦🇺🕺😉
Just did an advanced course through my base, and I had always considered myself an advanced rider, but the 15ft offset slalom kicked my a** on my Victory Kingpin. definitely gonna grab some cones and do some more practicing. Thanks for the videos, always a great watch.
Motorman your techniques work regardless of the Motorcycle brand!! I have used them on nearly every brand they work every time! I prefer my Harley though.
I have not practiced all season I have many many of your video lessons I have msf cones and I have even purchased drop guards to protect more or the bike and help reduce the excuse yet I haven't spent 2 hours installing guards setting up the obstacles then performing the lessons love your stuff motorman
I noticed in this video your bikes are in between the garage doors. I can't see if you have safety cables through springs. Even if you do, when springs ends go flying. Could hit bikes. To truly be safe switch to torsion springs. If they break parts stay on the shaft. Shaft is above the garage doors
Sorry to say Motorman, but my bike has a Jockey shift behind my left knee, and on the same side I have a old style foot clutch pedal, and on top a 16 inch extended Fork. So its hard for me to do these practice, Maybee I could extend this distances between the cones, and hopefully it will work. Every Springtime, when Im rusty in driving, It use to take me a couple of days driving, before I can do the gear shifting in a roundabout leaned down, without problems, and feel comfortable. The best lesson for Me, that you have given me, is to look where you want the bike to go, that is now welded in my brain, ha ha ha, but its very important. I have done the misstake to look forward in a turn, but managed to correct it, and now hopefully this will not happen again I will soon go from Sweden to Spain( where my bike is, it was overhauled early this year, but never got to try it, before I left to sweden for family reasons, and Dog medicals. So in end of October it will be my first test run for this year. Im soon 69 years old, riding an old Knuckle Head 1200cc, with rigid fram, so I think this time I probably have to use my small "Airhawk" to make it smoother for my old ass, hopefully it will work. Thanks for great videos, and learning tips
Great riding exercise but the riders should train without top and side cases just in case if they drop the bike the cases are more expensive to replace then the little scratches on the bike, sliders and engine guards are a good idea too. Ride safe.
The owners are adults who can do whatever they want with their bikes. I offer them tools to take off anything that may get damaged in a tip over. Some take advantage of that, some don't.
I would love to hear your views on the BMW K1200LT. This is the model I have and this top heavy pig has me anxious when in slow traffic or tight turns. It always wants to take a nap at as little as 3 degrees from the perpendicular. It’s linked brakes and dry clutch make it awkward as slipping the clutch is not a good thing for these 845lb behemoths. I’m 5’-7” and 174lbs. I’m beginning to not want to ride it anymore and even thought of selling for a lighter bike. Thanks for these video’s most appreciated.
@@motorman857 Thanks, you are very correct in the fact it’s a fantastic bike to ride on the highway and the twisties. But around town it’s a bear. I appreciate your reply and so quickly also. Cheers 🍻 for making the videos. We need all the help we can get out on the road.
@@Johnrider1234 I had considered doing that, but they are just as heavy as the beemer but not as agile. I’m getting older and weaker and these big heavy machines are beginning to lose their appeal. Could be time to checkout trikes or spyders and leave these huge dump trucks of motorcycle to the young’s ones. Thanks for the reply. 👍
Hey Jerry, good video. Let me ask you something. Does it matter if you use big or small cones from a mental perspective? Secondly, don't know if I've asked this before or not, but are the dimensions for all of your exercises on your videos? I didn't actually get through your videos entirely as I've been gone on deployment for the past 8 months. Thx
A practice guide came with the video. If you didn't download it, just go to the website. It's free. The small cones work just as well as the big cones.
Come on Jerry ones a Yamaha tracer the others are triumphs tiger riding bikes forever you know better than that love your show though is the best teacher of all of them
No one that’s ever rode with or watched me lean my bike over into a turn would ever wonder if I was afraid of doing so weather it being a bagger or a sport bike. 😊

I bought your book…worth every penny, and your in-person looks worth every penny!

Good to see a lot of non Harleys at your riding class. Adventure bikes seem to be getting very popular now around the globe.
Very good job great coaching Jerry you and Donna have a great weekend

I have your experienced video motorman. Great video and I practice the technique’s every time I go out riding for about a half an hour.
Great job!

Are you the president of the procrastinators club?
@@motorman857😂😂😂
@@motorman857 probably not I am a member up the Blue knights I am no longer and leo though
I have just purchased a 2023 Street Glide. No abs or linked brakes. Should I invest in abs or just practice correctly applying brakes?
@@claudemohler2957 You can't add ABS to your bike. So, yes you need to practice braking, a lot.
I love your videos so helpful. The RLP Experience series helped me so much. Great Buy.

I use to scape my left peg leaving school on to Ulmerton.
Jerry what is your thoughts on a tike? can you do a video on how to handle a large Harley tike and do you ride them differently then a regular harley?

I've ridden the 1200LT. It's a fine touring bike. But with it's sensitive throttle and brakes, it takes a lot of practice to master low speeds.
Get a goldwing

First Bike is a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT
Yeah that's what I thought.
Yea not both Triumphs . Yamaha Tracer

my roads are barely paved. lean angle makes the bike skid away.
Come on Jerry ones a Yamaha tracer the others are triumphs tiger riding bikes forever you know better than that love your show though is the best teacher of all of them
Hey Jerry .. so I have a bad neck .. I can't turn my head all the way in both directions .. any advice ???
Turn as far as you can.
We need these types of classes up north where the roads suck 😆
I have schools all over the country. To find one near you, go to ridelikeapro.com and click on ''other training locations''.
@@motorman857 I had no idea. Awesome. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks so much!
Depends on the tyres and the road but never "afraid".
