In this video, I'll show you the different fear levels on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being the lowest fear level, 10 being the highest fear level. www.ridelikeapro.com www.tabperformance.com www.motorcycledropguards.com
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
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
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
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.
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. 😊
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.
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. 👍
