Good work but somebody new should practice on a smaller big .

Looks like Utah

I am confused Jay because both Jerry Palladino and Robert Simmons who are both retired motorcycle cops and have amazing YT channels teach riders to preload throttle at about 1500 RPMs, combined with using friction zone (clutch control) and rear brake. I am way more concerned about safety than having to replace clutch plates. So my question to you is what are cops taught when learning to ride? Are they taught the methods that Jerry Palladino & Robert Simmons recommend or your method which also makes complete sense? Just curious why two different schools of thought regarding low speed maneuvers and which method is taught to motorcycle cops who are some of the most proficient slow speed riders in the world. Thanks for another great video.👍

Jerry makes it look like figure skating. TCC !

Good training absolutely starts with that clutch control drill you did with her. Creates muscle memory, as you know. Another advantage to holding the U- turn at least back to center is you create an option for another evasive turn either right or left

She isn't afraid to lean the bike.Thats the total opposite of most new riders...awsome.

Great videos, I've been practicing a bit but find myself reverting to the throttle (1500-1800ish) and rear brakes and I do fairly well. My bike has a heavy cam and a distinct lope at idle/low rpm. Seems power is not constant/steady and fluctuates to the rear wheel at or near idle. Any suggestions and recommendations for a work around?

Great progress for a new rider. Drop guards doing the job of protecting that bike. 👊✌️👍

Nice video Jay. Glad you are still preaching the “gospel” of slow speed motorcycle skills.

Where are you located, I would like to take your class, I am in Houston Texas

She did great!! That's a lot of bike for a new rider with pert near no road experience. And your teaching also is excellent! That makes such a huge difference as well. Good stuff!!

Solid work !

Can you make a video doing the Illinois state DMV test exercise for small cone weave going into the half U turn, than stop in the box! pattern listed on the last page of the ILSOS.

Can you make a recommendations on best drop guards for 2021 HD/SGS?

Hey Jay...new subscriber and live in Austin TX. I turn 62 next month and have not been on a bike since I sold my Street Glide 17 years ago. I am buying a new bike for my 62nd birthday next month and fell in love with the Low Rider ST which weighs 727 lbs so is still a heavy bike. My question to you is do you think a person my age who is a senior citizen can handle a heavy bike like the Low Rider ST. I am going to take the MSF course again and take any advanced courses that Harley offers. I would also love to take private lessons with you but not sure where in TX you are located. I going to spend hours in a parking lot practicing low speed maneuvers before doing any serious riding. My other question is if I drop the bike, how will I know if I have the strength to pick it back up? Do you if Harley dealers ever lay down a bike with crash bars to allow a customer to try to pick it up? Correct me if I am wrong but if you can not pick up a dropped bike, you need to downsize to a lower weight. I also realize after watching your videos that once you practice and master low speed maneuvers a heavy bike can easily be controlled. Any advice from you would be so greatly appreciated and also let me know where you offer your private lessons. Thanks for the great content. Safe travels my friend🙏

Take the rear floorboards off so she wont break a ankle. Change the clutch lever the brake lever and the brake pedal to ergonomic ones Softbrake

How do you sign up for training?

when u say total clutch control you mean no throttle, clutch in friction only bike moves on its own rpm

I have moved up to an Indian bobber from a 650suzuki and am struggling. This is nice to see.

I'm just under 300 lbs, no throttle, clutch only, stalls or acts like a bucking bull...

I'm a returning rider. When I started having kids I thought it would be selfish to spend my free time riding with there were little ones at home that needed daddy, so I sold my bike. 27 years later I'm back on an Electra Glide and it's been nerve wracking. My 14 year old found an old 1st place field events trophy from my younger days and I remembered: I can do this. Don't know why but that old trophy gave me a lot of confidence. Now it's just back to practicing. I learned low speed maneuvering form a 5'2" lady that was a motorcycle cop from Columbus Ohio and she used the preload technique which is what I was used too. This seems much easier on the bike.

Great stuff! I love your method so much better than the other methods advocated. I like the idea of saving my scoot clutch and stuff. I don't like the "pre-load and keep it loaded" philosophy. Seems like WAY too much wear and tear on expensive parts. I hope I can make it to Houston to train with you at some point. On a separate note, I know your offset weave has a distance of 12 feet from one set to the next in the perpendicular plane, but what is the lateral distance between them? I have cones that I want to set up in a parking lot near me to practice, but I don't know what distance to set them at. Thanks.

She is going to be a good rider! She has NO fear. I was impressed right off the bat at her slow speed skills. Not afraid to ride the bike at slow speed. That is unusual. Good Job!

Hi Jay. Interestingly enough, the very FIRST thing I thought was necessary on a motorcycle was to learn how to handle the beast at slow speed. It is for that reason that many of my "seasoned" riding friends envy my slow speed skills ( prior to my new Gold Wing, which I handle like a baby trying to swing a broad sword...LOL). I could turn my old cruiser on a dime two-up with my lovely wife, and I could keep her up at stop signs without putting my feet down for several seconds all because I did a LOT of slow speed practice from the git-go. My logic was that if I can't handle her while going slow, I have no business trying to handle her while going fast. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, but slow speed skills pay huge dividends for all aspects of riding, in my humble estimation. Thanks for all you do, sir! I love your videos, both with and without words, because some things just don't need words to drive home the reality of the benefits of doing things in a certain way!

Great demo!! No words need be said. I was just telling my buddy who is a riding instructor about your method and sent him links to your videos on it. This is just gold, sir! I don't like the idea of unnecessary wear and tear on my parts (as you've mentioned in other videos), and so I really love this TCC method! I haven't mastered it yet. I'm still a fish out of water on my new Gold Wing with it, but I could do it on my cruiser. I just need to get more comfortable with the new dynamics of my bike. I mentioned that in the comments on your other video as well. I'm gaining on it!!

Shouldn’t teach rpm ‘s, makes a noob look at the gauge instead of where they’re going. Just use the same amount of throttle to turn as you would getting the bike going from a stop.

Why are the so expensive there a pice of metal lol

were you on first gear?

Howdy jay just found your channel ive watched 2 different ones like your way of explaining things and im big fan of "be the boss of your motorcycle" love what he shows and explain and i learned alot from him n i practiced every time I was out on (big blue) yamaha1700 n now ive seen you and you have answered some of my questions thx n right now im without a bike but ill get another one some how n soon lol and when I do im going to be hard at what you teach also im 60 been riding since 2007 thx for your content keep it coming

Wish they werent so expensive

Very inspirational thank you

I did it for the first time unbelievable never thought it could be done this way great info 👍🏿

there is no thumbs up icon to like this? good info for sure

Late to this vid but damn I appreciate it! Been naturally riding slow speed turns like this forever on my Harley. Always works. But, u watch 99% of slow speed maneuvers vids and it’s all about rpms, rear brake, etc. I feel vindicated. 😂

o hay im murrikana potata from madafaka dat kam, blabla bla bla blablabla...

Hey, loving your videos ! many thanks ! I am driving an XVS1300A, with crash bar in France, but I am going to buy those drop guards, as I am training more and more everyday, one day will be a sad day !!! let s avoid it ! One question, as a great professional of those kind of bike, could you recommand the best tyre you prefer for our cruisers? The best mix between dry and wet road. Here, in France, there is a bit more of rains than in Texas !!! ;-) Many thanks for everything, I am really apreciating your videos !! !Merci !

It appears it is all about practicing the correct technique. That's awesome.

Excellent training ! Excellent trainer !

Had to laugh at hand on windshield while driving 😅. Don't think I will try it.

Jay appreciate your informative videos. I have been practicing your technique with clutch control. I have been doing 3-4 parking spots u-turns. I would like to get it down to 2 parking spots. Can you give me a tip on how to full lock the handle bars. Thanks

Should that Acorn bolt be on the outside?

Where do you train in Houston?

I love your drop bike tip!! I never seen anyone else teach that!

I was doing this by instinct already knowing how a clutch works. I’m still not very good though

what do you mean by wide open? Released? or pulled in?

Open and closed clutch is confusing terminology. It’s engaged or disengaged.

Great video!

How do i get in contact with you

I just took a Ride Like A Pro course and now, seeing this video, I feel like your approach is much simpler and easier on the bike. Can't wait to try this out in the parking lot - after I install my drop guards :)

When I took the basic riders course at gaston college, nc that's how they taught us, good instruction video
