Sir. I'm a new rider living and working in the middle east. I just bought my motorcycle a few weeks ago. And I went for my fourth practice this morning. I've been watching dozens of KZread videos, especially your videos. The word "preload" has become locked into my memory and I hear your words when I go out for a practice. This morning was my first car park practice. (They're not easy to find here where I live) I practiced my u-turns and got it right the first time I attempted because of your video instructions. It's not 100% perfect, but I'll get there. Thank you, sir. Best wishes, Cal. Sultane of Oman.

From a former LEO to another, you are a stand up guy. So, your videos are clear, concise and you have a gift for teaching. I've seen other videos that recommend once you are down to walking speed, to forget the rear brake and use the front only. I tried it today on my Street Glide and did not like it. I've always used the rear once say 5-8 mph to zero, but I've never, in 30 years of riding been told about the friction zone until you're stopped. It's brilliant. Thank you!

When you said "why would I use the throttle if i'm coming to a stop", that's been me since i've owned my bike for the past month. This video literally made the whole "power does not equal speed" thing click for me and i'm more comfortable using the throttle to keep the power up when I feel like i'm losing balance. Now Exercise 2 feels like a breeze and my stops feels so much smoother and controlled. Proud to be a V.I.Preloader because the amount/qaulity of info you give is amazing!

Being a 5' female, I've had my challenges with my bike. Last year I traded in my 250cc Yamaha for a Indian Scout 60. My driveway also has it's challenges and I'm forever jockeying around vehicles for one reason or another. I had the biggest epiphany this year when I attempted to duck walk my bike off the lawn into the driveway (which is very uneven, love your lawn btw) and had a tip over. Why? Because I had no power, I didn't even have the key in it! I have to wear 2.5" boot heals to (almost) comfortably flat foot, once a tire is on a bump, I can no longer touch the ground. Now, no matter what, the bike is ON and I'm feathering that clutch LIKE A BOSS (well, trying like a boss!). I'm pretty sure this epiphany happened right about the time I discovered your videos so I'm giving you all the credit. Keep up the great work, you rock.

I make very few exceptions ... because since I began doing this, my enjoyment and confidence while riding my bike has increased tremendously. No longer hesitant and scared to stop and start... and I just keep practicing stops, starts, turns, figure 8s, swerves and such ... thank you so much. I ride a 2016 Indian Roadmaster...

I knew that I was out of practice so I started watching your training videos and started using what you were teaching! I found a basic riders course, participated and passed, then started practicing every chance I had. Do I feel like the boss??

Hey, I want to thank you for saving my life! I watch all the "other guys" on the web, they all teach high speed turns, intersections, merging etc. These are all important skills BUT if I can't master the beast (my big ass Harley) at 8 mph I am in trouble with all the other stuff. You are the ONLY guy who continually emphasizes being proficient at low speed as a building block to surviving at higher speeds. You also make it extremely understandable. I am no longer afraid of leaning my bike or of turning and I have "thank God and you" lost the fear of drooping my bike. Knowledge is power and you freely share your extensive knowledge. I thank you and the other drivers on the road, although they don't know it, should thank you as well. I am no longer a rolling cluster f&$k. I now practice before every ride but I now enjoy the ride and know I can handle the basics, the building blocks. Thank you again. By the way, I just turned 71 so there is hope for everyone.

Sorry about the length of this post. Robert, I stumbled onto your channel and I have to say it's the best slow speed motorcycle instruction I've ever seen and you're the best instructor I've seen. Your positive reinforcement and attitude in your practice sessions is outstanding. That said, I don't keep my right foot on the rear brake when I'm stopped, especially on an incline or decline. Here's why: I ride a Triumph Rocket III Touring. I don't know if you've ridden one but, if not, to give you and idea - when the Rocket is parked next to an HD, the HD suddenly looks very small. When I ride a full-dressed HD, it feels tiny to me after riding the Rocket. It's weight is about the same as a full-dressed HD (906 lbs wet although with what I have in my saddlebags, mine weighs about 950 lbs. or more and I usually ride doubled up with my wife.) It's a massive machine. HD owners who have ridden a R3T Touring almost always comment on how massive and heavy it feels compared to their HDs and how it feels like it can easily tip over at a stop if it's on even just a slight angle to the ground. So, that being the case, I simply don't feel comfortable with only my left foot down but that's especially true on an incline or decline. So, what I do is this in that situation: With both feet on the ground, I lock the bike in place with the front brake. When I'm getting ready to take off, I "load up" while holding the front brake. My right hand is doing two jobs but it's very easy with just a little practice. Then I ease off the clutch until the bike wants to move and, as it starts to move, I release the front brake and increase the throttle. Using this method, I can start as smoothly as if I used your technique. I'm sure with your experience, you could keep your right foot on the brake with no problem when stopped with a R3T but that simply doesn't work for me. However, I'm sure I could use your technique with an HD. A Rocket III Touring must have a higher center of gravity and anyone who rides one remarks that it feels as you will reach the point of no return very quickly if you lean it even slightly too much when stopped. It feels very massive and heavy. Also, when I ride a HD, my knees are bent quite a bit when both feet are on the ground but they are almost straight with the R3T (I'm 6' with 32" legs). So, at least for me, your left foot down only technique isn't ideal with the Rocket - for me. But I'm an old fart who had a 40 year break from riding. I started riding in 1969 but stopped in about 1975 or so. I got back into riding when I bought my R3T in 2015. I immediately took a 6,000 mile solo road trip traveling on much the same route I did back in 1969. But my slow-speed skills are terrible although I'm fairly good at riding very slowly in the friction zone but I can't do a U-turn for the life of me - let alone a figure 8. When I first got the Rocket, I tipped it several times and that spooked the hell out of me. When I watch your practice videos, I realize I would make a damn fool of myself if I took a part in your practice sessions when your riders do U-turns and figure 8s. I need about 3 miles to do a U-turn! :-) I wish I could get private lessons with you for a couple days but I'm in Illinois. Then again, the trip would be worth it. Keep up the great work!

I appreciate you taking the time to type it. As you’ll see in my Practice Session videos, I do mention that just putting your left foot down is really a motor officer thing because it makes us all look uniform when we’re stopped. I also say there’s a million ways to do these things, so if a way other than what I teach works best for you, by all means do it your way brother. It’s still getting you to the same place we all want to be… The Boss of our motorcycles!👍🏾

I w been watching all of these videos and some other guys too…. Robert Simmons is a top tier rider.. the best I’ve seen… and also the best instructor I’ve seen… There are some other pretty good ones too… but it’s absolutely great… step by step and why … i’m about to purchase a motorcycle today, I am basically brand new, I’ve ridden in the 70s and the 80s as a teenager and early 20s. Now I’m 58, I’ve got a solid 30 years of not riding…. I took an MSF course and failed the test LOL yesterday! However I do feel that the training was not very good at all. There was none of this rear brake stuff.. and there was absolutely no warm-up time before anything started, we got on our bikes, that they provided, Jenkee little $500 motorcycles, in the first 10 feet that I rode I was already in a U-turn exercise, we didn’t do any laps around the course until 3/4 of the way through on the last day! I absolutely believe that should’ve been the first thing, getting familiar with the bike, getting comfortable on the bike getting a feel for where the controls are, and trying to find the friction zone, and practice that a little bit before the actual exercises begin, but that’s not how they did it. I really feel ripped off, so I’m watching this and will do this stuff myself

Robert, your video on controlled stop is something that I have been hoping to see for years. The details are so basic but the problem has been big for me. Can’t wait to try stopping in control. Thank you and God Bless you and your very helpful work. I wish I lived in Georgia! Kevin Coady, Flourtown, PA.

I bought a Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Plan on riding it around town etc. Getting used to it before taking on a long trip. Thanks so much. I'll keep you posted. 🙂

Thank you Robert. At this short time of my riding experience, I am realizing more and more how important Exercises 1 & 2 are. Not nullifying any of the others because they are just as equally important, but the 1 & 2 are done more often. The confidence I have when I have to stop my motor, even a quick stop, I do it almost effortlessly.

very helpful Robert. I learned to do this on a bicycle when I was a kid. I kept the pressure on the pedal and used the handbrake to balance myself really really slow, then stop.
