Ride Like a Pro on the Indian Challenger!! 

I have a Home depot about 1/2 m from my house.went one day about a yr ago after getting back into riding after about 15 yrs.asked the mgr if it was ok if i used a corner of their lot where nobody really parks, He laughed and said it was cool of me to ask it surprised him and he said have at it!

Happy to help!

Hi Dave!!! It was a pleasure meeting you as well yesterday! You really did a fantastic job at class, so proud of you and how you ride like a PRO! Hope you made it home safely!!

@@docdonna489 Hello ride like a bro team! Likewise, thank you guys for the opportunity to train with y'all!!☺️ Oh yeah I'm about 2 an half hours away from home!

@@davejr2979 Good to hear that you're almost home! Keep training and kicking butt!! Hope to see you again! Thanks for a fun day of training!!!

Thanks ☺️

@@davejr2979 lol

The rider on the White Road King was a younger rider and I told him at our class how proud I was of him and his riding skills. This rider drove 15 hours to attend our class, that's amazing. He proves what practice and training do for our skills and confidence. He also won the trophy for the "BEST" rider in the class. Well done, David!! It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday, hope you made it back home safe and sound.

@@bruceyung70 what's funny?

@@docdonna489 Yes, he has done an admirable job and he showed heart for riding! Thank You, Donna!

Great to hear!

Thanks 👍

Exactly!

Thanks 👍

I thought you were all on house arrest?

We are, but hopefully it will end soon. Once everyone is vaccinated.

Thanks for watching

All new bikes need a good tune to operate at its full potential

make sure it's not in the Rain Mode, that would explain slower response. Otherwise keep it in Standard, like I do and have no issues with the response, or Sport mode if that's not enough.

If you lean a cruiser bike too far, hard parts will hit the ground and the tires will leave the ground as you can see in this video. Hydraulic clutches tend to grab at the end of their travel and can't be adjusted. Cable clutches can be adjusted.

With the rear brake and the clutch/throttle you have more control. When practicing exercises, once you can perform them with the rear brake, you should try with no brake. On the street always use the rear brake since dropping the bike can cause a car to run you over.

@@motorman857 that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

No, we told the rider he needs to get some www.motorcycledropguards.com

@@motorman857 thanks for the link, I was going to look back through your videos to find them, considering a set for my road king, I just bought as well

@@motorman857 bet he's made a mess of his primary case.

@@Kwhopperfan take my advice and get some. The primary case will get scratched. Can't see the scratches but rust will develop.

@@paulrollings2791 oh I know all about it, my Road Glide went down after finding a pile of P stone left at an intersection from a township truck as I was making my left hand turn late at night, didn’t see it till I was in it at full lean. Had they existed then and I had them probably would have had virtually no damage except to my pride of course

That’s just stock A modded Harley is faster Harleys make more power once you build them and theirs nothing you can do to a challenger later

@@JNAMOTORSPORTS For all that money I shouldn't have to

Except in real life, it's the exact opposite.

@@JNAMOTORSPORTS I've been riding Harleys for 40 years and drag racing them. The Indian Challenger with a stage one will easily beat a 131 stage 4 Harley. Been there and done that!!

@@waterdamage598 yes, Indian just recently proved that in the King of the Bagger challenge, 2022, taking the podium 1, 2 and three. With Harley using its 131 engine!

Yes.

Yes.

Better here in an empty parking than in the middle of a busy intersection. If it happens in an intersection, you'd be a lot more than sick.

Thanks 👍

Yes we are...I teach my advanced Ride Like a Pro classes in New Port Richey Florida. www.ridelikeapro.com, click on "classes with motorman" on the home page, class schedule is up through December 2021.

@@motorman857 oh cool your not far from me

He was at times. But then he'd let the clutch out too far. He'll get it. He has determination.

@@motorman857 Excellent. I was afraid he was a “I know more than motorman” type of guy.

Jerry has classes all over the U.S! Check out his website for a location near you bud! Good Luck! An have FUN!!!

Why would I be pissed? I've had many DCT bikes at my class. A little throttle against a little brake pressure. It will take more time to get it right though.

“Tons of recalls” really?! Name some…

@@michaelschmitzerle2587 First recall is how fugly they are just like Victory was by the way I sold Victory couldn’t give them away . Resale value was awful on them also . First Indian I traded for on a new Harley while I was a dealer of 65 years I found out why they named them Indians cause I got scalped on it lost my ass on the ugly thing . Polaris has tried to look like a Harley for so long . They have had electrical issues on the Indians I know of a couple. I have a friend that sold them until he went out of business the Harley dealer killed him . Buy one and see what it brings once your tired of looking at the ugly thing .

@@russellabernathy3241 one of the main reasons people are flocking to Indian is because of Harley Davidsons unreliability. Harley Davidson consistently polls at or near the bottom of consumer reliability surveys. BTW, go take a look at an Indian Springfield motorcycle and tell me that's an ugly bike. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you'd be hard pressed to call that motorcycle anything but a work of art.
