Thank you brother for helping us tame our rides. This really helped me this morning on the way back home as I came to a speed bump right before a chaotic intersection. I maintained the throttle preloaded, put the clutch in that sweet spot in the friction zone, and controlled the power output with the rear brake. Honestly I was worried about the ride because of that moment, but as I started applying the technique I realized I owned the intersection as I was ushered into it by other drivers 😂. Immediate sense of triumph kicked in and I completed the scene with couple of blips to confirm dominance. This is my second year in my riding career and I used to ride a Honda Rebel 1100, and now I'm a proud owner of a 23 Indian Chieftain DH. Thanks again for all the tips and instructions Regards and respect all the way from Saudi ✌🏻👊🏼
Perfect close-up demonstration of your hand movement on the clutch! I always practice the slow ride while approaching a red light. Most of the time, I don't even have to stop before it changes to green. I LOVE all your videos and have learned so much as a new rider who started at age 62.
Jenny I purchased my first motorcycle at 13. I’m now 66 and continually learning to be a better, safer rider which ultimately leads to more confidence, fun, and safety. Have fun & enjoy the ride!
Retired Navy man here (1999). Had to take a 3 day motorcycle safety class (1984) to get a base sticker so I could use the bike to get to work on base. The San Diego motor officer (Luke Lucarelli) had 25 years on the force. His training is the reason I have not had an accident in over 41 years of riding. I have never stopped park lot training but after moving to Michigan in 2017 from the West coast, I have experienced the "degraded skills" effect from storing the bike during winter. You are are wonderful resource for old, new and rusty guys. You instruction style is outstanding firm, outlining the fundamentals, demonstrations. I am grateful for you and your public service to the cycle community. Even after retirement. You are affecting life's today and I assure you affecting life's 41 years down the road =+). Please, consider doing some "fireside" chats on defense tactics in city traffic. Luke had a pile of VCR tapes (yeah, I know don't say it) with accidents. And told us if you need that kind of thing to scare you then you can watch them on your own. But his life's stories of 25 years on the force, his close calls, his 6 crashes take came very close to killing him and what they taught him. These are the things that mental have stayed with me, along with the expert riding instructions that I now see in your work. Carry on,sir And again Thank you It has gotten more and more difficult to get quality instruction from experienced (LEO) individuals, amongst the the cluster (unqualified) noise of the internet. Thank again Rick Fairall, USN retired.
Wow, it’s so incredible that we can still learn new things , better skills after riding for so long and thinking we knew everything about a certain topic.
This is excellent Robert. I never thought of doing this. I'm going to start practicing this so i can get the muscle memory and in return, it will drastically increase my reaction time. Great tip brother.
Peace Brother. What I like most about your channel is that I can come to a video like this, which is an area I'm extremely comfortable in, and get a refresher minus the bs and filters. The knowledge you share is beneficial, sensible, and life saving. I aim to practice with you, but the main reason for my continued support of your channel is the genuine nature in which u share the information. Keep doing great things.
Also a great technique when stopped behind a vehicle at a light. I angle my bike to the left or right in case the car coming up behind me doesn't stop short enough to avoid hitting me. Great way to give yourself the extra space.
I think this demonstration is going to be so helpful for many people. Especially visual learners. It's a combination of visual and kinesthetic and your brilliant demonstration, which makes this in my opinion a very useful video.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have had my motorcycle license for about 2 years and last month I upgraded to a 2008 vtx1300 from my first honda cm250 and shortly after found your channel. I was really anxious with the large size of the new bike, but after watching your videos and implementing your preloading technique with clutch control, I have seen such an incredible improvement in my slow speed riding. You're the only instructor on youtube that helped me improve in such a short amount of time. I feel so much more confident in my riding after only a few practice sessions. Thank you so much.
I am ready to get back to riding and practicing. Haven't ridden since last year. Almost healed up from my recent surgery. Thanks for posting and keeping us motivated to improve our slow riding skills.
Excellent tip Rob, I always like my clutch adjusted so it engages early so I'm not searching for for the friction zone and your tip basically does the same thing. Your the best motorcycle instructor on the planet.! Thanks so much.

Hi Valiant!!! You are my favorite. Robert, thank you so much for your in-depth demo of this. I use this same technique while in heavy traffic. That 15 for distance is perfect and enough to pick up my left foot in to my footboard... even for a second. Thank you for everything!!

Oh Robert this tiny little trick I think is exactly what I have been missing especially on the uturns that’s me for sure searching for the friction zone I know where it is but taking too long to get there and wondering exactly what I have been thinking. So so good can’t wait to try it when the snow melts over here in Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing this very rich information I learned a lot from just this video for example I knew about covering the rear brake but I didn’t realize till now that I pick up my brake foot from a stop instead of covering the rear brake from a stop 🎉 🙏✌🏾😎🇺🇸
I did all these first steps and the bike won’t move. Needed to do step 0.5 Turn on bike 😂 love the vids ! Everyone needs to watch and learn this stuff See tons of guys with no idea what they’re doing under 10mph

Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 th-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I sure do! Check out my “Riding Tips” playlist. 👍🏾
You know what you should pitch to HD engineering... this concept... a 3 stage clutch... open, closed, and slow speed lock... almost like a Throttle Boss... or design it... I'm in for 3% of profit... ... this could actually be a aftermarket product... "Clutch Boss" locks release but allows full pull when in use..
Unfortunately the area we play in the friction zone can’t be a thing that we set. We have to always be in control of it because there are many small variations of movements that we have to make.
Searching for the friction zone is precious lost time - such solid teaching. Im in the process of test riding some new bikes (smaller bikes) and the first couple of minutes is all about finding this at super low speed. Thank you again Robert!
Hey Robert. I could use some advice. I've been watching your videos because I've been wanting to learn to ride so that I can buy a bike. I took the MSF BRC course this weekend. Passed the written part. Today was the first day of the practical riding exercises. I was let go by the instructor because he said that I couldn't balance the bike very well. I was really shocked. I thought I was doing okay, guess not. So, I am what you'd call a "late bloomer" I'm 59 and want to ride. I was really discouraged by this. The bike was a HD 500 and it was really small for me, and getting my feet up on the pegs was kind of hard, so every time I'd try the bike would start to wobble like I couldn't balance the bike. So, he sent me home. I could use some advice Robert. Don't give up and try again, or keep trying?? I'm not sure what to do.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 th-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle It’s something you’re doing for about 2 seconds so no issues there.
Should the clutch be covered by 4 fingers or 2 fingers? Does it even matter if you understand where the friction zone is on your bike? When I started riding decades ago I have always used 2 fingers but I see you using your entire hand and quite frankly your level of riding is the top .01% of all riders so your opinion matters more than almost any one.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 th-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle It really depends on several factors. Sometimes I have four fingers on the clutch and sometimes I have three. It depends on what I’m doing. It also depends on the size of a person’s hand, how stiff the clutch lever is, etc.
Great video as always, Robert. Question: so when coming to smooth stops, you’re in the friction zone with the clutch, apply pressure to rear brake, and you pop it in neutral when you’re basically stopped completely? I assume when coming to a stoplight on the street, you don’t downshift all the way to 1st gear or do you?
I've watched these videos over and over. I get the concept and I practice it, but it's still hard to get my mind to override my instincts. I have the most difficulty in really slow hard turns, especially hard turns from a stop. Most of the time I don't have any problems. I'm not afraid to lean my bike to the point of scraping my floorboards, but it is a heavy, 2011 Road King. I can't seem to get to that point where it's second nature to keep the throttle up and use the clutch to control my power, even though I know that's what I need to do. I can't seem to "GET IT" or "PERFECT IT."
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Thanks and yes I am a subscriber!! I've watched the trust and believe video, and I've done it. I know it's true. It's in my head. I just need to practice until my body cooperates. LOL I'll get it!! I refuse not to!! I saw the video where you said, when you were learning, you just weren't getting it. But you did and I will too!! Thanks again!! I appreciate what you do!!
Cool thanks 👍 I think people would benefit from practicing on a smaller bike for sure though. Also, I might be wrong but I'm afraid that alarm system you have installed on your bike is gonna drain the battery like nobody's business 😋
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my TH-cam channel!👍🏾😊 th-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle No the alarm system isn’t an issue. It comes standard on all CVO’s.
You need to breathe when coming to slow movement. Take it easy and be calm. I trip out more about 55 mph turns when somebody's up my ass but that's just me.
Hi Robert, do you have a playlist I should follow if I’m just getting started with your lessons? Or do you have a video that explains how to set up and do your first exercises?
