When i first started riding, I stumbled across a great parking lot that I practiced my turns. It helped me SOOO much! I spent many hours just practicing different scenarios. I felt much more confident. I wish i had these videos back then.

Im 55 years old and have been riding bikes since 5 years old, I thought i was an expert but you showed me i was not,Thank You so much for introducing me to counter steering.Now instead of freakin out and tensing up when situations arise,I feel confident in being safe.God knows i have had my share of crashing,I can say it never used to bother me to hit the dirt but with age its not as easy to bounce back LOL!

Parking lot skills testing is just as fun as zipping around on the back roads

It's always a treat to watch Donna make it look so smooth and stylish.

Also, I have ridden many years and thought I knew everything about riding. But I have learned so many things from your videos that I didn't know. You have improved my riding abilities very much, even in my sixties. Thank you for what you do.

Glad to help.

Your riding tip are absolutely correct. I was a 13 year Motor and instructor. Look at a cone, hit a cone. Haha.

She does it better than you do. Hahaha. Super graceful. New subscriber. Rode for 10 years before having children. Never had a big bike. Turned 50 and am now riding a street glide. I took the MSF course and glad they made me do it! Thanks for the knowledge and drills, tips and examples. Not every motorcyclist exudes the same measure of dedication to the art form of riding. My wife & I usually laugh when we see the “LOOK OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES” sticker. We laugh because we agree that we SHOULD look out for them because too high a percentage of them are dangerous to others on the road. Unlike a car, motorcycles aren’t for everyone and required constant practice and upkeep. Skill decay can come quickly but is easily defeated with a couple trips to the parking lots per season. Keep on rollin’

Donna should start her own KZread channel!!! I actually like her riding skillls more xD Shes so smooth on the turns :D

I had to wait 45 years to get my first Harley, I find myself nervous as heck every time I get on her. I’m so glad I came across your videos, I had no idea about the clutch, thank you. I still have to get my motorcycle endorsement which means I’ve got a lot more to learn.

Hello, I have been watching your videos now for about a month and a half and have learned so much. I'm 74 years old and have noticed that my skills have been slipping pretty severely. After watching you for a couple of weeks I decided to go to a parking lot that's empty on Sundays. I practiced what I saw on your videos for about 45 minutes and was amazed on how much better I was able to handle my harley . Thank you so much for putting your videos on you tube. Your course DVDs are going on my Christmas list.

Yesterday, I found my bike on it's side where I parked it. I believe someone hit it or pushed it over (Saturday Night). In my heartbreak, I looked up bikes tipped over and found "Afraid of dropping your motorcycle." I found your videos very informative and Impressive! You guys make riding a larger touring bike (I usually ride sportbikes) look easy especially at low speed, which we know that it isn't. I've had my motorcycle license for about 21 years but rode continuously for about 5. I've subscribed to your channel and continue to learn more, Thank You!

Clutch cam is the best innovation in instructional bike videos I’ve seen

I haven't ridden in 40 years and went from a Honda 360 to my new/used Yamaha 950 V-Star. I was terrified my first time out on the bigger bike but these videos have eased my mind. I'm practicing these tips as I prepare for my riding academy class coming up on October 4. Your material has put my mind at ease and I'm now very prepared and excited to begin my new adventure. Can't thank you enough!

MotorMan, I’m so glad you included your wife in this video. This proves my point to the so-called old school riders, that it’s technique not the size of the rider that matters. Who in their right mind would ever want their money back from the best riding instruction in the world? Because of your training, many bikers are telling me to become an Instructor for MSF. It’s all because of your DVD’s and diligent practice. Thank you for all you do. I’m grateful.

Jerry Palladino is the OG motorcycle riding video coach. Years ago before KZread was even a twinkle a tech VC's eye, I bought one of training vids.

I been riding off & on for many years, Now at age 67 , Just getting back to riding again, bought a Suzuki Boulevard C50 last week, This video will help a lot Thanks. I will call for your videos, at the hours you posted

I really enjoy the videos and the dry humor. Makes me feel right at home. Keep up the good work.

I have been riding for 27 years and have over 650000 miles on my touring bikes, and it's a funny thing I still don't know it all. Thanks for all the great tips.

Been riding for 47 years and still learning. Great videos.

Well Done, Sir & Wife was Flawless… Without One Scrape!🌟

Love this guy. Thought I knew how to ride until I started watching him.

Very nice. 50+ years i have been getting on/off on the right side! Nice to know why.

I took a motorcycle safety course many years ago and they told me to get on and off on the left side but I knew right away they were WRONG. I'm a big guy and there just isn't enough room for me to squeeze between the handlebar and sissy bar on the left, so out of necessity I have always used the right side from day one. Thanks for finally verifying what came natural to me as many people have tried to argue with me over the years on this very point.

I have been riding 40+ years. Great tips for those who have ridden for a while. Thank you.

Just discovered your KZread Channel and I have been missing some excellent videos!

I bought Jerry Motorman Palladino videos I believe almost 20 years ago after having a serious accident. This is awesome knowledge for a biker. Still today although riding a lighter bike I use this techniques and tips. Thank you for your work and sharing. Best bucks you can spent if you take your life seriously riding a bike.

Wish I Could Spend A Day Behind This Guy On The Road Before My Course. - Ride Out To Canada :)

Great tips Sir! I never drop a bike in my 40 years BUT last summer was on grass was on bike push off to back up foot flip under me BUT Thank GOD stand was still down....BUT like to learn this right way And steal your tips and pass them down!!!

Great videos! I have been riding since I was 10 years old. I'm now 52 and still learning as much as I can.

Just bought Ride like a Pro. Great tool. Worth it's weight in gold 👌

There is something oddly satisfying about watching a couple of pros at work. Such finesse!

I have been riding bikes since I was 15 now 68, I have taken several courses over the years and I am always learning something new. I learned from the best, Police and Highway patrol. I like these videos because you never stop learning something new. One of the lessons I learned was from my Step-dad he said you don't ride it you wear it. Just like all the gear you wear. Motorcycles have a mind of their own. Your in control and you make the bike do what you want it to. Practice makes perfect, but never stop learning from others.

Jerry,you should be in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.You had saved thousands of lives with your videos.I am one life you have saved. Thank you so much.

Been riding for more than 30 years, learned the old-fashioned way. Went out and did everything the wrong way and somehow survived. Yet. I know my slow-speed skills suck. Bought Jerry's course and have been paying attention to it and practicing the slow work. The other day I was done filling up at the gas station and there was a car directly in front of me with the exit directly behind me. Made a nice little U-Turn using Jerry's principles and, although it wasn't the prettiest and tightest anyone had ever done, I got pretty stoked about it. Thanks for putting these common-sense explanations out there for those of us who are learn-it-by-doing it survivors of our youthful foolishness.

My Wife took the Ride Like a Pro “RLP” class in Waldorf MD and it was the best thing she ever did to help keep her safe! I watched her take the class and now even after riding for 40 years I too want to take the class! The RLP class should me mandatory for every rider in the USA before they are permitted to get their motorcycle endorsement !

Years ago I tried a Top Gun competition and didn't embarrass myself too badly. I turned too quickly in the slalom and caught a few cones. I failed to use the friction zone method during the slow-race. I was able to successfully do the tight figure-8, which I was proud of. Had I seen your videos beforehand, I know I would have done a lot better. I haven't tried a Top Gun since learning the techniques from your videos, but my every day low-speed turning and maneuvering is much better with the "friction zone" and "look where you want to go" techniques.

Thank you Motorman. I’ve been riding for 25 years and thought I knew what I was doing..... turns out I don’t 😬. I just bought a bike when I was fifteen and started riding just trying not to kill myself. Now I’m forty and still haven’t been properly instructed how to ride. I found your channel about a month ago and I’ve been out almost once a week practicing the stuff you teach and it’s greatly improved my ability to control my bike. This stuff is priceless and I really appreciate you putting it out there for free. I’m also glad I am able to admit I don’t know how to ride properly and my ego isn’t getting in the way of learning. That’s probably your biggest obstacle in getting people to realize they need instruction. Especially all the “experienced” riders out there. Keep up the good work Motorman!!!!

My wife and I met Motorman and Donna about 15 years ago in Daytona. I bought the CDs and credit his instruction on my ability to handle my Goldwing “with the ease of a child’s toy” as he says, all these years. Thanks to Jerry. The ways to dismount a bike we can debate, but fingerless gloves I must object to! ;-)

Hi, Ive been riding on the street for 9 years now and The slow game has always been a challenge, I have found that I have learned the friction zone sweet spot turning by accident one day . I was so excited how easy and natural It felt! , My husband was always my teacher but he has been deceased now since 2019. I continued riding my 2004 Fatboy with his voice in my head, and have begun searching videos for pointers and YOUR videos are my absolute favorite! I can hardly wait to practice! Thank you!

Of course being a perpetual beginner in my mindset helps a lot. It keeps me humble. I plan to buy your courses soon (September 2021). I have decided to get the USB version. That way I can practice during the entire offseason as weather permits. I live in the Pacific NW and we get the rains in the winter here in the Portland area. I will be more ready and safer in 2022. I cannot thank you enough for helping me stay safe on the road.

Thanks motorman. Stumbled across your channel about a week ago. Didn’t realize how good a driver I wasn’t. Learned more in the last week watching then I have in the last 20 years riding. Snow it melting and got 20 cones. Now to apply these techniques to the bike. Leaning is my definite weakness. At least for another few days.

I love the new softail frames with higher clearance. No more footboard scraping, and the lean angle is sick! Great video btw
