Great video, as always. BTW, we do the licence tests on 650cc bikes over here in Europe.
"Each exercise build towards the next... because they've mastered the previous exercise, it's really not that difficult." "Keep your head and eyes up, friction zone, a little pressure on the rear brake, that's all there is to it!" OUTSTANDING.
Can't believe how much better I ride because of you, Motorman! No fear, scrape those boards...
A tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
Big thank you to Jerry, Donna and Joe for having these classes. I was one of the fortunate riders in this class. Yes I think all the students had done their homework before class, we all knew what we had signed up for. Jerry and his team do everything possible to help every student do their best. It is a wonderful experience and great atmosphere to learn and improve your riding skills. Fastest four hours I have ever spent in classroom!
My favorite exercise was when we were all doing the intersection together, the sounds of those Harley’s all rumbling and focus required was mind blowing. Of course getting to follow Jerry through the snowman was pretty awesome to.
Thanks to my classmates for coming prepared I think that really made for a good experience for everyone including the instructors.
My suggestion to everyone get Jerry’s New Best Combo Deal With Shortcuts Video & Bonus DVD practice then treat yourself by signing up for his class or one of his franchise classes. I guarantee you want regret it and you will be a better motorcyclist for it.
Thanks again for the memories
Richard
It takes a great teacher to see great students reveal their much improved skills. Well done, Mr. and Mrs. MotorMan.
I listen to motorcycle classes like this while I work. I would totally listen to a 4hr vid lol
I learned a lot of these maneuvers by white knuckles experience. Yours is the best way to learn. Practice on a bicycle was my first teacher.
I’ve been riding for 25 years, and appreciate these videos.
Expert training X/years,X/trained riders,X lives saved = Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino. 👍🏼 😎 🌎
Thank you!! Really. I'm a brand new rider and watching these has been so helpful.
I took a MTC class from Brandy "CHiPS" Fuller in Magnolia, TX and he was teaching as you: Head, Eyes, and a little brake!" I'll be practicing today. Thank you for your Life Saving videos... I'll be investing in some cones!
Thank you sir for the great videos really helpful
I took a new rider out tonight to start learning riding. I practiced the first two exercises. The slow walking and slow cone weaver. I had him focus on the the slow walking to get use to & under stand the friction zone. His did some of the slow cone and circle. We both have a lot more practice to go. But, it's fun becoming better at slow maneuver techniques.
Thanks for the knowledge Motorman!
Thanks for these Jerry! You do us all a great service.
You are very welcome.
thanks Donna and Gerry that was great you guys are the best can't wait until the weather is good to do some practicing that you guys have learned me I in Canada so it will be a little while thanks take care
You have no idea how much your knowledge and wisdom helps. I wouldn't be as far as I am today with out your videos. You truly are a blessing. Thank you for everything you do.
Mr. Jerry I have to say, I have watched and learned so much. I have used and still work on your tips all the time. I have new riders come into forums that I write and help on. These riders have gone from 750cc 800cc,900cc up to the 1500-1700cc and I suggest all the time to watch Jerry the Motorman's (Ride like a pro ) your video's have tons of tips and pointers for low speed full turns and leaning techniques. I know that there are those that have no idea of the full turning capabilities of the machine they ride. Thank you for all that you do for the two wheel riders. Mr. James Collins
Thanks for these Jerry. I don't have a hundred cones so I'm usually counting the parking spots to estimate the working space you have to practice within.
Thanks Jerry, your sharing is making me a better rider.
So simple but so efficient ! I like this way of teaching, boss👍
I'm watching this from Belgium and everytime i'm impressed by your video's. keep on doing this. Thanks Jerry
These videos have been so helpful to me! I recommend them to every rider I know!
I'm hooked on these videos now, Jerry.... Such a generous, and valuable contribution to the noobies, or even people getting back into it after a long break. You are, and undoubtedly have, saved lives, and injury. Big salute to you, brother!
Motorcycle drop guards are definitely worth the money. Great class!
Unfortunately, they don't make them for a Goldwing. I am sure they are great insurance but I can't honestly justify $300 if they made them for the GW. Just my opinion of course.
@@ajpum65 I have a 2018 Goldwing. You drop a 2018 or newer gold wing and you are doing $1500-2500 worth of damage especially if you are doing advanced training to not be a doofus as Jerry says. You drop it and your Saddle bags are scratched and the little crash guards they say will protect the bike completely collapse. I even bought after market front guards that were supposed to protect it but when I dropped it they ended up bending and cracked my engine covers (cheap crap that looked good). I also have a 2019 Harley and the motorcycle drop guards are the best investment and purchase of any motorcycle accessory I have ever purchased for a motorcycle and I would pay $1000 for them for my gold wing as would many of my fellow gold wing enthusiasts because that bike will go down if you actually ride it and not just go in straight lines to a club meeting. The videos of the drop guards really do not do them justice. Drop Guards are a no brainer, but as you said they don't make them for gold wings.
@@mikep4521 Good to know Mike! Wow, I didn’t realize the newer Wings didn’t have the same protection as the older generations. I have a 2006 and I have had mine on it’s guards in the garage. No painted surface was touching. Not good if I ever dropped it on a gravel road! I took the Ride Like a Pro class here in Texas a few years ago. I took pipe insulation and wrapped it around my guards. Lol I never dropped it but that was a very cheap (temporary) solution for the class. Now that I have more skills, I don’t plan on dropping her. Of course I am being optimistic to say the least. First gear on a Wing keeps you on your toes at all times. - Thanks for replying Mike.
Nice work. Everyone there was riding like a pro!
Great vid Jerry 🎥 Yeah those riders looked like real pros at the end of the session. Best group Ive seen overall.
I think the main problem is fear of dropping the bike and doing $$$$. Those drop guards look ace.
I need to take this training
Thank you you’re doing the motorcycle community a great service!
mod 1part of your test here in the uk which is the slow speed u turn part of test is done on a 650 cc bike eg a honda cb650r weighing around 200kg but as you say it is all about technique
When I had to get a new license for the place where I live now (my country’s license ain’t valid here).... the test was pretty hard. Some parts were hard even for some of the local instructors and I hadn’t touched a motorcycle in 5 years. I managed to pass by practicing and watching this channel (and MCRider) for a month. What I’m trying to say is.... I learned more from WATCHING Motorman’s videos in a month, than in 25 years of riding (and that included crossing part of the Colombian Andes) before my 5 years pause and EU license test. It has to be amazing how much one could learn in person. This stuff is super legit! Thanks, Motorman!!!
Did my first u turn with a passenger. Went smooth no issues. Thank you for all the tips. Helped a lot.
You're welcome!
Any tips for doing a U turn with a passenger?
Thank you for your videos Jerry I got my license less then a year ago and learned so much just watching you're youtube, I got my license the same time as my dad and surprised him when I did about a 20 ish foot u turn. looking forward to learning new techniques and maybe in the future coming to one of your classes
Thanks for the great content! You’ve really taught me a lot
Great video, loads of useful tips, thank you!
Great Video. Thanks Jerry
Thanks Motorman. Spring has arrived here about a month early. Time to get out of storage and start practicing. Wish I could find crash bars for the saddlebags on my 2013 FLTRU. Then I would get crash guards.
I love your videos, very informative. The best thing out there for the real rider
Awesome exercises...also, great teachers and students! You and Donna are phenomenal! Thanks again for your videos.
Want to say thank you! Ive been watching your videos and practice on my own. Your teaching is very easy to follow. Today I did my 1st figure 8. Every time I ride I try to improve just a bit more, thanks for the tips!
I love these vids! also what's interesting is that a lot of the eye tracking techniques to maneuver the motorcycle not only apply beautifully to the real world to make you confident and skilled as a public road rider but they teach you and build a strong foundational skill of how the mechanics of a motorcycle work at higher speeds allowing confidence when managing speed, braking, lean, and point of direction, furthermore it allows the riders to become even more alert on city streets and best of all teaches a lot of respect for other motorists when driving a car
Outstanding job and excellent progression with the individual exercises Jerry. Thank you.
I'm thankful for your videos joe I use them to teach my friends to be more confident smarter riders as I learn something to practice from your videos as well thank you
Those drop guards are a great idea.
Great video, always something to learn and practice. Not all of us European's take our test on a 125cc, though. I took mine on my instructors 1200cc Bandit.
Was looking for this comment! In the UK, even if we start on a 125, we have to do all this on a bigger bike as well, since we can't just whip a 125 around and then legally take out the biggest bike we can finance
Same here I won't agree with the European comment. I did it on my rocket 3r. Which was 2500ccm³
You are fantastic, I've been riding for awhile, stopped for years and recently started back riding ( 3yrs now). After watching your videos I realized that I was still doing somethings wrong. Now I practice technique, learning the friction zone and head and eyes turning. Thank you so much. Every rider on the street should be in your course. I am truly grateful, thanks Jerry. 🙂. 👍
Another great course for the riders. 😎👍🇨🇦
Nice video thanks for the lesson today 👍🏍
Any time!
When I get my next Harley I’m goi g to go to your class
Hey, Jerry - Just wanted to drop by and tell you "thanks" for the years of solid (and free) info you've given!
Oh, and I'd definitely watch the full 4hr video...
Thanx much, Jerry. Great vid!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Another great video. Just signed up for my first RLAP training session in IO. I wish it were FL.
a hug from Portugal, and thanks for your videos
Hopefully I can take this class next year.
I really like your videos. Thank you!
Thank you this is great info.
Awesome class.
Great information. Thank you Jerry.
Very welcome
I watch all your videos, and I would love to come to your class. I have learned a lot about the rear Brake, and Friction Zone, Thanks Jerry
Between your explanations and MotoJitsu practice regimen, anyone can master the motorcycle if they don’t have access to schools.
No really...
Truly amazing work!!
Great video
Ive been a fan of yours for a long time Jerry........Ive got to come down to meet ya and take your class in person. God bless you Jerry!!
I don't understand when youtubers say people won't watch long videos. If someone is interested in the content they will watch the longer videos. Robert Simmons - Paying it Forward, has posted hour long videos of entire training classes and I enjoy those more than the shorter 10 minute videos, because you get to see the students progress from start to finish. But that is just me.
Love your videos, as always, Jerry, but here's a little disclaimer 5:59 we don't do it on 125cc bikes here (in France), unless you're 16 y/o and going for that A1 license. The bikes we use for our licenses are either 500cc or 900cc, depending whether it's for the A2 or A license... and of course no-where-near 900lbs ! (not sure where you got the info about 125cc)
I just received my 2021 FXST last week, so I'm at the local grocery store parking lot on Sundays, setting up what I've seen in your videos, trying to do half as well as those you trained.
Thanks for the training and keeping us motivated !
Great information.
Hi Jerry, that video was awesome, that had to be a fun and empowering day for those riders, follow the Leader exercise, to watch was watch was just pure joy! Amazing tutorial, take care & big Aloha, Kenneth
Bought my dream Harley, 2017 FLHTKL, after not riding for a couple of decades, and nothing this big. I got it to the end of the driveway and tipped it. It now has drop guards as you suggested. Took the BRC and discovered just how afraid I am of leaning the 500cc trainer. I purchased your Ride Like a Pro video and understand in my head what to do but simply can not get myself to do it. I watch all your videos and only wish I was close enough to train a bit with you. Anyway, I just bought a 2007 Honda Shadow 600 and will start practicing on that when it's ready. I wanted to thank you for all the training videos and tips and hope I can get on that Harley before the season is over.
its been a few years riding a motorcycle i just got a 2018 hd fat boy im going to go into a parking lot and practice doing u turns and figure 8s i find these videos helpful thank you
Regarding your comment on European Riders and 125cc bikes, there are several levels of driving licenses and to be allowed to ride bigger bikes we must perform the exam - including figure eight - on bigger bikes. I am a Harley rider for some years and the major difficulty is not mastering the clutch/rear brake/balance. Making an U turn in a steep cobblestone street is something you must learn to live with in order to get from point A to B. Countries are far from being flat as pancake and that's the reason some brands (Honda, BMW) include a reverse gear on their touring bikes, something that Harley does not feel the need to do. Really enjoy your videos and would love to attend one of your classes
Well done Motorman, I'm still practicing, guess one day I'll get it right. 🤓 Stay safe 💙
I hear you in my head every time I ride...
Excellent! Thanks Jerry!!
Very welcome
I scraped a floorboard for the first time the other day while at the church parking lot for a few minutes during lunch. It caught me completely off guard and I stood it right up, but neither the bike nor a foot went down. Then I spent the rest of my time trying unsuccessfully to do it again.
I've done that too, Lol.
Funny how startling it is when you first scrape--I think we all went through that!
@@vics8873 I’ve scraped at least a dozen times since I’ve started riding, yet I’m startled every time 😂
I got peg pokers... And it's even scarier then floorboards cause it actually pushes the peg up... I've done it once and have been a real pussy on taking right hand turns at faster speeds. I will overcome this fear... As soon as Palladino gets out to Cen-Cal...
I wish I would have watched your videos before I went to my MSF class!!!
I would absolutely watch a 4-5 hour video! I think an occasional long video would be very beneficial.
Be great to get,ride like a pro, started back here in South Illinois.
Good Job
Love these videos
I love your videos and your channel ! Al the respect In the world to you and your wife
This ONE Video is FULL of Gems that will help every new Rider!
My slow skills are lacking. Need work and I live near Tucson, Arizona. When I get my new seat low profile seat from CCRider then I will see about taking your course and getting some dvd’s and your book. See you on the road, Joe Shirley
Very useful
Congrats to the raider on the brand new CVO Street Glide... the fear of dropping that, would make me twice as nervous! 😅
I practiced on a 2010 Street Glide before I took the class ... traded it in last month and had 2500 miles on CVO when the class started. Not nervous at all
@@mikeybats2 coolest factory paint yet! I owned a silver 2015 StreetGlide but I’m saving for a Roadglide. This finish looks better on the Street, though. Enjoy that gorgeous bike! 🤘😎⚡️
Hi from the UK, I am hooke don these videos! Just getting ready to take my 125 test (CBT is what its known as here). Will learn all the basics frction zone, use your eyes and head... work up to the big bikes. Thanks.
You can do it!
7:14 when Benny Hill comes to class... (you know you heard the music on your head)
Man I can’t wait to be able to attend this class
The folks had some good looking bikes.
You mentioned a while back about crashes vs age, I can honestly say age has a lot to do with it, I statred riding motorcycle's at around 15 ?? I rode them all my life starting out on the Triump 750cc in the 60's graduating to harley's. late 60s I was appointed to the Police dept., became a motor officer for another 20 years, no longer a traffic officer I continued to ride and at 74 still riding, I was with the dept, for 32 years, I could turn my bike on a dime at slow or high speeds into my 60's . today I can no longer ride like a 30 year old, knock wood I never had an accident other than dropping it; I guess my point is you can not do at 70 what you could at 20' 30's regardless of your experience.
I'm only a few years away from 70, and my reflexes are undeniably not what they were when I was 30. However, I've learned to accommodate my fine-wine-aged reflexes by incorporating more distance and time to perform a maneuver. And I never had access to instructors like Jerry back then, because the internet wasn't around. My reflexes may not be what they once were, but I am a so much wiser in my riding now than I was then. It's great to be a much better skilled geezer.
Throttle preload / 1800 - 2000 practice really helped, positioning thumb across throttle housing did it for me, reduced my up and down with rpm. Also got the sound of the muffler down too.
If you're on a Harley, 1800/2000 RPM's is a bit high. That would cause too much rear brake pressure and cause unneeded wear on the clutch and brake. If you're on a 4 or 6 cylinder or sport type bike 1800/2000 is ok but you should get to where you don't need any rear brake pressure. Regardless of the type of bike, practice until you no longer need the rear brake at all unless you are riding in competition.
I would watch the four or five hour class🤙
Good vid but one correction. To obtain a full licence in Europe , you have to take the test on a 650cc plus bike, not a 125. Most failures do occur on the U-turn ( straight fail if you put you your foot down). Nowadays, the full test is fairly comprehensive in four parts. First CBT for 125cc license, next written Highway Code test followed by off- road skills (u-turns, emergency stop, etc) & then an on road test, I think of about 45 minutes. Back in my day, it was really easy but much more difficult now. And, of course, there are far fewer heavy cruisers in the UK & Europe as we have a very different road system in European cities. Riders here seem to prefer adventure tourers like the GS & sports bikes for the open road. The skills are pretty much the same, whether you ride a 50cc scooter or an Ultra Glide but big heavy bikes are obviously more difficult to manage at slow speed. The physics is the same whatever the bike & as you say, if you master the head and eye concept, you’re gonna get it. Ride safe, folks.
I have to say I almost had a mishap when a vehicle made a u-turn in front of me on a four lane highway with a center turning lane, what I learned from Jerry more than likely saved me from a near catastrophe, Lean, Turn to where you want to go and back again,
I was in the left lane and Man it was like I didn't even how I did it because of his insistence on Practice Practice Practice,no matter what skill or years on a two wheeler, Thanks Jerry!
I’ll see you and Donna on Sunday.
Who doesn’t need this training?
Soy boys
I need all the training I can get
We all do.
And we all should be practicing low speed motorcycle operation.
I get in some each weekend.
Hit up a local parking lot and practice
I like to see your video's. I practise myself on a empty parking. Nevertheless I would like to do a class with you. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands from Nico. 👍
I believe I’d make time on a rainy weekend watching even a 4-5h video been watching about 3,5 hours right now and still going… seen a view things I definitely have to practice and keep my mind on it.
Good job sir! Wish I was closer to meet you 😊 Sincerely Andreas
I've been riding over 40 years. Tell Donna she's my hero. You're just okay. LOL
come to Wisconsin with a class! You got a signup right here.
