Joe Lucas Hello professor, I am a 68 year old student of your channel. With the approval of my loving wife of 35 years purchased a 2019 Road King in June. Passed the rider safety course in July and watched just about every practice session you have put out. Only problem is now I can’t pass up pulling into every available parking lot to practice! Thank you for sharing your life experience’s and for your service in the NYPD.

The mantra in every motorcycle skills video I’ve seen is “clutch control.” That’s still extremely important of course. But what was a revelation to me was keeping the throttle loaded and fixed - and even keeping the clutch position fixed in the friction zone, a rider can precisely moderate speed and control just with the rear break. Most skills videos just mention rear brake as a lesser component for some stability, but this gives me a new perspective and tool in my toolbox for improved confidence at slow speeds. Thanks Robert!

I haven’t been on a Harley in 30 years. I bought a ‘16 FLHTK and it’s home in the garage. Bought some cones. 15 feet apart and it’s tough to do. I have a private community and 7-12 mph in and out and in circular driveway wide turns. I will practice again. I watched many videos and I will concentrate more on rear brake and throttle control and friction zone.

I like you, you're a good dude! You're actually trying to help people BUILD THEIR SKILLS instead of talking about BS like Big Rims and Loud Radios. I appreciate your effort.

I'm late for the party on this vid, but I surely enjoyed it never the less. I watch you, sir, along with Jerry Palladino, MC Rider, and MotoJitsu. I call it the "College of Rider Knowledge". And after class, I go to church. The church parking lot, that is. Today, my friend David joined me for church service on his Suzuki M90. David has many, many more miles in the saddle than I do, but today I got to school him a bit on slow speed maneuvers, as in; "Stay away from that front brake!" "Head and eyes!" "Look ahead, not down!", and so on. Overall, he did well because he listened and it was FUN! We'll be going to church together as often as schedules permit, and hopefully down to practice with you next year. PRACTICE IS FUN!😎

I'm a new subscriber, and I can tell you folks that he isn't lying about being a preloader. It is a very important skill to master. I too like Robert and Jerry have been thru police motor school. I'm still on the job unlike them, but coming to the end of it with 25 years in and 52 years old. I still ride for the Dept. (I'm in DC) but not full time given my present duties. I only get to ride for special events mainly now such as July 4th, demonstrations, and other events. In order to stay certified to ride the dept. motors, I have to go thru a yearly recertification course and test. In fact I have to do my yearly recertification and the end of May for 3 days. I was thinking about it and decided to see what people taught on KZread. This and the Ride like a Pro channel are good. BTW folks these techniques work with ANY motorcycle, for instance, my personal bike is not a Harley, it is a Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe and I assure you, it applies.

My brother I just found your channel just trying to get some pointers. U make it plane this is one of the problems I struggle with. I just wanna say sir I appreciate you taking the time and making it plain for me! Now I'm about to find your u turn video. I took a course and the u turn and these turns from a stop are my biggest problems by far. But thanks again for everything and I will be subscribing. ✊

Robert, thank you again for another awesome video to your viewers. You won't get a video from me doing push up because I already know to keep it loaded during slow speed maneuvers always covering the rear brake. Preload and keep it loaded 👍

@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle For sure I'm subscribed. This past weekend I went to a local slow maneuvers training and let me tell you , that all I learned digitally from your videos was a hell of help for me to pass it. "pre-load, keep it loaded" are the key...Bikers listen to what Bob is telling us....very happy and grateful for your teaching

THANK YOU! DON'T EVER CHANGE you amazing human! Before I found you I'd start off watching youtubers teaching motorcycle skills and then before I know it.... The channel becomes full of videos that make fun of others who don't have the skill. Or they share videos of horrible crashes and incidence that happen on bikes. I can't handle that kind of fear based teaching. So I just stopped watching...then when uploading my own video here, you came across my suggested list. I love how positive yet firm you are with your teaching. I have 2 bikes a sportster 883 converted to a 1200 and last yr my husband and I both bought cruisers. Mine is a hard candy gold fleck street glide. My first outing on the bike I almost bit the dust on a bumpy dirt parking lot. Then a while later I slowly tipped over while pulling into a parking spot... because I was never taught about the touchy front brake. In addition to that, I kept telling my husband the pull on the clutch wasn't right for me, it engaged too far out for me to feel like I had control. Well we fixed the clutch issue, it's awesome to have control lol but the ONLY reason I decided to put the money into changing my clutch pull was finding your videos. Before that, I was ready to give up. I had even purchased an online course a few days after I bought the bike and it was not helpful. I started watching your videos and it all made sense. Some how you made me feel like "I can do this!" I'm finally not terrified of my bike and though I still need tons more practice in the parking lot... I really enjoy it now! THANK YOU. PS I've been a pole dance instructor (online) for 13 yrs now and I wanted to take time to write to you because, students behind the screen can often forget to let you know how much you've helped them.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 What jumps off the screen to me from your message is your confidence is up. That’s the number one goal on my channel because once that happens, everything else will follow, including actually enjoying the motorcycle, which you are doing. Keep it up and please keep me apprised of your progress. 😊

Hahaha. The first time I heard this term. I thought you were calling us Free-loaders! Love these training video, keep them coming. Keeps me safe and not have to scrape someone else off the pavement.

Love this video, timely for me. I was out making right and left turns on Saturday and I was failing most times. I was turning but I was going just over the white parking space lines. Now I realize I was not utilizing the rear break as much as I should have. Today Sunday it's raining 🌧 but tomorrow I will watch this video again before I go out to practice, build my confidence and practice some more. Thank you man. PS also love these detailed one exercise videos, they are comprehensive.

Your videos have great content. I almost passed your channel completely. Your videos are LONG! I was worried about there being too much useless information to get past. However, I find myself rewinding and rewatching much of your content to make sure I didn’t miss anything. A couple of your signature techniques have helped me tremendously. Keep em’ coming.

Just came across your channel and subscribed. Excellent information and I’ve been practicing virtually all of it regularly (U-turns 15-20 feet, figure 8s as you showed, no duck-walking...none, etc...LOTS of micro-speed maneuvering). Admittedly, I don’t currently have a heavy cruiser yet, but am looking to close on a new RGL within the next couple weeks. Been riding dirt bikes since about 1978, but only street riding for a couple years on a 650 cruiser. Love your content. Plan to watch it all!

It was well worth "the watch" as there are some valuable takeaways here. Also, I am awestruck that anyone in their right mind would down vote such an awesome video...

all the videos and lessons I've watched on turns and u-turns for years and noboddy has given me the valuable information that you have here about the brakes, preloading and clutch, trust and believe, power to the rear wheel. Every rider should be taught this information and I'm sure alot won't get it.Thanks Robert Simmons, you changed my riding abilities and I owe you big time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the shirt! I am glad I started watching your videos. I was a little confused about preloading as another KZreadr mentioned preloading the front brake. I tried it on my last ride and it didn’t feel right. I could have sworn that my beginner motor instructors 18 years ago repeatedly said “do not cover the front brake!” Anyhow, I will practice in my head and out on a parking lot as much as I can. Thank you so much!

Hey Rob, as always you have stellar advice. I was in Cave Creek, AZ today hanging out at the Roadhouse Bar and it was absolutely amazing to watch all the bikes come in & leaving and duck walking in and around the parking lot. You could really see who had control and who were not in control. Keep up the great video!!

Thank you very much! I've stated this before, PRELOADERS will look at non PRELOADERS much differently now. Not in a negative way. But more so like an instructional way. They remember that used to be them and they want to share the knowledge. Each one, teach one. Great job Pete!😄👍🏾

If we all grab that front brake, and do pushups every time, we all are going to have leg arms like you Robert!!😆 Good job Jason!! Preload everyone and be safe!!.....and don't grab that front brake pls🙏!!
