300% rider skills improvement in 15 minutes

[@seabee12333]

You got to give people credit for even going to any kind of training like this. So many just get a huge, beautiful bike and go out in traffic and try to train themselves. So, yeah I don't laugh at them at all. instead I thank God they are learning before I have to share the streets with them. Thanks Jerry, for doing what you do.

[@chrisbernier5513]

It is amazing how you deal with so many different riders of different skill levels. That dude is 500 percent safer than he was when he got there in just 15 minutes. I hope he continued to improve over the rest of the lesson. I also commend the rider who came back to do it again. Thumbs up guys

[@andrewgiordano5275]

As a retire police instructor and current HD Riding Academy rider coach I am amazed at the number of so called experienced riders that say they don't need refresher training because they have 20 experience. When I watch them try to make limited space maneuvers on a parking lot it obvious that they have 1 years experience 20 times.

[@defenestrationfan]

[@markospapasifakis4210]

I think these training videos are great! I have been using them for the last few weeks and I feel that my skills have increased considerably. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good parking lot to practice but I have been doing with what I have. I will be going to a riders training course in the spring but in the meantime, I practice on my own.

[@1playfair]

Same for me. Thankfully there is a little road across the street that I can go back and forth on but without the room to get used to turning around correctly with a lot of space I’m stuck riding down in first , stopping, putting into neutral and using my legs over and over to back up. My legs are exhausted it being a 900 pound bike and all lol. Wish so bad there was a parking lot like this over there.

[@harleydave2316]

Very good! Thank you for teaching others to help them become better riders!!

[@JTroskaTV]

I’ve started making a point of practicing tight maneuvers every time I go out riding. I still have to warm up. My first turns are still a little embarrassing 😅. But after a few tries, I get them looking respectable. And then my normal speed riding is better for it, too.

[@tomfillmore9710]

[@tommycooker3996]

👍 I wish we had your courses over here in The Netherlands 👍

[@mdeerocks6792]

I assume Netherlands has similar (or identical) requirements for motorcycle licence as other EU countries - you will learn maneuvers like this as a part of compulsory training in first 2-3 hours. There is no way to get a licence/on road in EU if you can't do a slalom or U turn. I doubt they will train you on 7 meters long Harley though ;)

[@juliansiuksta2805]

Here in Australia I've downloaded The DVD and put myself and my Victory thru the exercises. I actualy found the U-turn easier than the offset cone weave. Down here we drive on the left side and our measurements are metric, so a lot of feet got divided by 3, when laying out the obstacles in the car park.

I’m not sure where this is, but in Florida you’re required to go through a safety course to receive a motorcycle license. Personally I’ve been riding since the age of four years old and professionally road raced for Buell. That being said when I worked for Harley Davidson and had a chance to ride a big bagger, I was surprised how difficult it was to maneuver at slow speed. I guess my point is no matter how good you think you are, there is always room for improvement.

[@motorman857]

This is the Ride Like a Pro course. It is an advanced course that teaches the 3 motor officer techniques to civilians here in Florida. I have 21 such schools around the country and one in Japan. You have to already have a motorcycle license prior to coming to this school.

Unbelievable how many people hop on a 900 Lb. bike and haven't a clue how to ride it. I rode my Scout for about a year, which is only 550 Lbs wet, and I was still scared to death to get on my buddy's Street Glide and Soft Tail Slim. I rode them both around a parking lot to get a feel for braking, low-speed handling and slow speed turns before taking either on the road. These crazy people show up with a wallet full of cash, hop on a new bike and drive it home on the same highways the rest of us are using. This isn't a game and these aren't toys! I've ridden with people who are afraid of their bikes and they scare me! I stay far away from them.
