Practice Session #13 - Advanced Slow Speed Motorcycle Riding Skills
Hello KZreadrs! A special hello to my fellow PRELOADERS! For those of you that aren't PRELOADERS yet, hit that subscribe button and become one. This video covers Practice session #13 which included the largest amount of riders to attend one of my practice sessions! I want to apologize for the wait. I had some serious editing issues and with a video this long, everything takes much longer. As frustrating as this process was, I wasn't going to stop until I got it out to my PRELOADERS. So I hope you enjoy it and most importantly, I hope you get something from it that will help you in your quest to be the Boss of your motorcycle!😊👍🏾
You may be asking yourself, who are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

Im a truck driver i just drive local in so cal but i play your videos while i drive i dont watch it of course just listen i want to have all the things younsay stuck in my head i only been riding for 18 days🤣im brand new but i swear i hear you while im riding i dont want to be a rider with years under my belt with bad habits and these videos help thank Sir!!!!
My brother. You are epic in your skills. I was getting a good smile out of watching you own that bike. Every rider sholud try and become as talented in riding slow speed as you are. God is Good. You are so blessed to have a wife who feels love for her man with passion and support above all others . Only second to God. Thanks for the time you take to give life saving abilities to so many
Thank you Officer Robert for your quality help to us bikers out there, I'am 67 and self taught...years ago when I started riding at 16 there was no internet or people like you to help us, I had to re-learn what I thought was right but is not, I had to stop grabbing my front brakes at every stop ! Watching your video's has helped me immensely, Thanks again
Sweet husband, I am super excited about this video. The time and effort you put into this practice and the video was monumental! Great job as always.💋
ive driven sport bikes for years on the street and on track and have developed bad habits, must relearn to properly - and effectively control the bike without speed. This man is a blessing for this training. MSF does not train like this...
I fully enjoyed this. I felt like I was with you setting up the range and relaxing before class started. Then meeting some interesting people that are WANTING to learn. That is a great feeling. I love the message and community interaction!
I’m learning on a Harley Street 500 in Sydney Australia and have your voice in my head as I practice: “Preload”! Thanks for your videos 👍
Watched for around fifteen minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Robert very much reminded me of the Louisville Lip as his talking skills are exceptional. Clearly a lovely chap. Didn't learn anything about motorsickle riding but hey ho....had a double breakfast whilst I waited for knowledge, enjoyed the sun pouring in, and I started the day smiling. Thank's from the U.K. Robert. Keep riding like a butterfly.
I like that triumph! Purdy.
Word is out on how good your Free class is so your classes are get bigger and soon you're going to need to find someone (with your skills) to help out and that's a good thing.. happy for you
Son of a gun. The KZread algorithms are reading my thoughts. Thanks for sharing. I’m totally new rider. Dropped my BMW F800 GSA Twice. It happened when least expected at a stop. That put the anxiety into me.
Great service you're giving to the Cycle community brother 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Big Thumbs up !!!!!!
I was on a motorcycle course a little more than45 years ago and your information rocks. Great job! We did have a guy show up on the third morning. We had been doing circles, serpentine, cones for the first two days but on the third day we hit the road. There were about 12 of us following a leader (car) and he got to a stop sign on a gravel road. The late arrival locked up his front wheel and dumped the bike. Have you ever seen a person grab the handle bars of a Harley and jerk it upright from laying on it's side with the front wheel coming 12 inches off the ground? We called him sir after that. The information contained in this video is excellent!
You are amazing my man. Respect to you brother.
Wow is all I got for this one. Exceeds all of my expectations , somehow. These videos never feel redundant and I have watched every one! How is that even possible? Thanks for another amazing Robert Simmons epic practice session video.
I fell upon this video. I bought a 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom 3 weeks ago. I've only had 2 weekends for practice as of today (3 / 28 / 21 ). I've put 30 miles on my new bike and all of it was practice riding with Turn From Stop, Weaving, Throttle / Clutch control and Stopping. It seems that U-Turns just come natural for me since I'm not afraid to lean the bike. Anyway, watching your video was helpful for me. You explained the Turn from Stop very well and I'll be practicing that next weekend weather permitting. My Beginner Rider Course is in the first week of May ' 20. Thanks to you, I now have even more interest in getting better skills. This is the very best Video I have seen on the subject. Thank you SO much. :-)
Thanks Robert, I will be getting my 1st motorcycle in 4 months maybe 3. Thank you for this instruction I’ll be getting the HD Road King. I’m a former military policeman but I’ve never ridden before. I’ve been studying with Jerry Motorman Paladino and now you. That’s bro.

Thank you for your service & concern. That’s a Beautiful Bike!
Exercise 3 "trust and believe" made a huge difference in low speed confidence for me. It can demonstrate in just a few passes how you can go from falling over to straight up just by accelerating. I remember a time when I was riding a KLX 250 on a trail, and I came to a stop on a small hill, went to put my foot down and realized the ground was a foot away. I had a whole two seconds to contemplate whether or not to try and ride away or let it fall at a stop. At the time I let it fall, figuring it was going to fall anyways and wouldn't hurt as bad when stopped. I know better now.
