I’m always impressed with the guys that are man enough to admit that they need training. Most guys won’t admit that they need help.

Most people don't admit it. It's half the reason people make old mistakes, that and the other half being people not willing to share solutions. Luckily, there are people like Jerry trying to change statistics.

Mr Palladino. You don't know me but I have watched most of your instructional videos here on youtube. I'd just like you to know that your lessons here saved my life on more than one occasion. Maybe someday I'll be able to shake your hand and thank you personally. Until then please keep these videos coming! Rubber side down.

I am not yet 74 and still riding. Jerry took me from riding at a DUFUS level to being able to easily do U-Turns on 2 lane country roads. Without Jerry, and his lovely wife Donna, I would probably be riding a trike. Almost anyone can become a very good rider if you use the slow riding techniques that Ride Like a Pro teaches.

First thing I did when I got my license was order the Ride Like A Pro USB drive and start practicing. Taking the class this weekend was outstanding. Jerry, you really helped me understand where I needed to modify my riding/practicing. I was training without really using the rear break. You ride like you train so you better train like how you want to ride. When you had me try and stay on your tail in the intersection it became obvious why I needed to develop my rear break skills. The Class and training was a ton of fun and worth every cent. Great Stuff Jerry Thanks Again!
Got to say watching these videos has helped me ride safer and better than I ever could alone. I appreciate you Jerry
Hey everyone I bought the book and have the short cuts video, I promise if you buy them they do work!!! I won't claim any expert ability but I'm constantly improving!!! Ride smart all!!!
Interesting to see someone with too much speed on the Pan American. It would seem the normal is going to slow and missing that sweet speed where you have more momentum keeping you up right. Glad to see the coarse content back, but enjoy the variety of your content.
Just shared this with one of my guys at work. Just bought a 883. Slow speed is a challenge. Hopefully I can get him to watch it👍😏
Jerry, I'm seeing this on the 11th. My 63rd birthday was on the 10th. I was going to order them but they are sold out.. Please keep me posted if you do any more.. I'll be calling to order other videos.. My 17 year old Granddaughter is taking a Riding course in June to get her license.. We are going to try to practice together and hopefully take your class together next year. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

I’ll never have my bike in Florida or up where Robert Simmons holds lessons but you two have certainly given me over a dozen hours so far of fantastic tips and help. Thanks a ton. I think it’d be hilarious and an eye opener if you were able to set up a course at one of the big rallies. Be good to see lifelong riders (in front of their peers) realize they can’t maneuver worth a diddly.

Thanks for your channel I have that problem not using my rear brakes but I'm better at it . Also turning my head looking before heading into a curve 👍 Thank you Years ago i had great pleasure of taking with your better half (wife) ordering video during EST time being on PST Time ✅🤟
Hi Jerry, I love your videos and DVD’s. I practice them on my Dyna street bob last year. This year I tried to upgrade to a Road Glide Ultra. I dropped it three times doing low speed maneuvering and got hurt each time. I now have a big fear of dropping my bike again. I try to use your 3 things, friction zone, head and eyes, and rear brake. I keep pulling in the clutch when I get into an Oh No moment. I know my low speed skills need a lot of work.

Jerry, sometimes when I am turning at 8-10MPH I per hour I always put my foot down due to the fear of the bike falling over. Am I getting in my own head? Will the bike always stay upright at 10MPH with proper handlebar turning?

I find the rear brake more useful than the front. I'm still a rookie, so I still imagine it's solo applications. I can't imagine hardly ever using without the rear, thoughts?
@motorman857

90% of your stopping force is in the front brake. Get in the habit of using both brakes to stop. Just make sure the handlebars are pointed straight ahead when you stop. At low speeds, when making turns, use rear brake only.
Bill is impressive.

I recently got gifted my Dads Road King Classic. It's a custom built bike and literally in showroom quality shape with less thank 9000 miles for a 2007. My dad 6'3 I am 5'8..so already the bike needs to be adjusted. I can barely touch the ground with my tiptoes wearing boots with 1" soles. I use to ride crotch rockets years ago, but this is a really heavy bike and I am nervous about it being my first bike back in so many years. I'm debating buying a Katana 600 or something to start. I've ridden the bike before, but as a novice rider the bigger bike definitely makes me nervous. I am going to take a MSC for sure. Any advice. Should I just park the road king and get a lighter bike. Been looking at the reduced reach seat to help with the height. I saw the video where that helped your wife.

My wife has had several hip replacements. After the hip replacement 20 years ago, she was back riding in 3 months. With this last hip operation, 20 years later, it will be 6 to 8 months before she's back riding. If you are not familiar with the proper techniques and can't whip a u-turn in less than 24ft, You might want to stay off the bike for 6 months or more until you're ready to take some training. But of course, consult your doctor before getting back on the bike.

How bad are these guys messing up their bikes when they drop them at a very slow speed like that, Jerry? I suspect it’s more of an ego bruise than actual damage to the bike. Don’t you, or someone sell a kit that protects the primary and several other spots? I’ve got a ‘19 Slim that is completely bare (bare, as in bone stock) and in pristine condition, but I’d like to add some protection, “just in case”. Don’t you sell something, or is that from Harley Davidson? I can’t seem to find those things. Thanks, Mitch in Texas
