Here's an advanced exercise you can work on

In this video, I'll explain the snowman exercise. This exercise will have you using all 3 techniques, head and eyes, the friction zone and light pressure on the rear brake.

👍🏻 There always seems to be a good atmosphere in the group. Always nice to watch. Good luck for the rest of this year's motorcycle season.

[@motorman857]

Here in Florida, motorcycle season is 12 months a year. I admit though, Nov. to May is the best weather-wise.

[@RFVisionary]

☀️ 12 months?!! I envy you. 👍🏻 Have fun!

[@nomoreblahblah]

The control of my motorcycle has improved tremendously by doing the parking lot exercises shown in your videos. 15 minutes or more several times a week.

I’m getting old but still love to ride. At 72 I’m riding the Western North Carolina twisties on a Honda CTX 1300. I am starting to wonder if I’m getting too old or riding too much bike. Screw it. Life is short.

[@joeferreira7382]

I have learned quite a bit, and like you say mr. Jerry practice makes perfect , You do not practice you do not learn 🕶

[@charleswooten3563]

I’ve learned so much from your Videos I purchased years ago. Took one of the Ride Like a Pro classes in Jacksonville. Highly recommend this course. 👍

[@motoryzen]

Yeap...that result is inevitable. Jerry knows his stuff. Motojitsu is also a great channel for drills-practicing.

[@Isha048]

A really hard exercise, those people are very good, thanks for the video, very interesting indeed.

[@I_am_archie]

Thanks Jerry 🤠

[@tomskeen6405]

I'll definitely be working on this.

[@Simon-hf3lw]

Great instructions good class 👍

"I'm not superman, I've just done this 1000 times." I want that on my headstone.

[@paulpugh2480]

Way to go coach .

[@desiraeceniceros1468]

She's a great rider!!!!

[@jurgenniklaus4046]

I will follow your videos the next time. But things are a little different for me with a 1800 Goldwing with DCT and no clutch. And it is a heavy bike too ...lovely Greetings from Germany!

Watching the BMW rider, on the second circle, he did it in about the same space as what's available in the last circle, and did it to the right which I think more people have problems with than to the left, at least here in the USA. But that just shows that he and the bike are capable of the last circle physically and theoretically, as long as you know where to look and when to look. I understand it is difficult. I know riding out on the street, I u-turn in a parking lot under normal riding conditions no problem, but the minute I put up cones to practice drills, it seems so much harder. Kind of similar when I learn a song on the guitar. I can play it flawlessly until I hit the record button, then suddenly I can't play it anymore. But anyway, even if you can do it on the street and are relaxed, mmastering it in the cones means you can do it in a stressful and uncomfortable situation, like avoiding wreckage you just happen upon that you wouldn't normally see or something. Can really help you get over target fixation issues (that's one of my biggest problems).

[@lyndonbritt3728]

I'm thinking how is it I was able to turn the handlebars and turn my head to get my certification years ago, but I'm so hesitant to do it now!

[@mrh0wler353]

1:50 head & eyes, friction zone, and a little pressure on rear brake

[@motoryzen]

3:20 to 3:31..I always remind others.." it's about pushing more focused on HORIZONTALLY...than lifting. . Ensure you have a good foot hold aka foot grip on the ground with that back as straight as possible.

[@rbljackson]

Hey Jerry, do you know what the actual lean angle is on the 2002 VTX 1800C? I know it has a long wheelbase. Ive been riding it since they came out in 02 and love the bike. I do find it hard to make tight turns in parking lots and do U turns though. Any additional tips for the VTX riders? In full disclosure, its something I need to practice more, but hesitate because i dont have an engine guard that will prevent damage in the event of a mistake. Love the bike though and we did a ride called the 3 sisters here in Texas last weekend. Great curvy roads, but MAN it was HOT HOT HOT> 105 degrees is not a comfortable touring ride...LOL

[@motorman857]

I had one of those and I know it can do 18 ft u-turns.

[@bikerbrinrac]

Yes as per the overhead, u could see the beamer rider was cutting it way too short and wasn't looking properly. Shame as he probably now has damaged panniers & exhausts and not cheap to fix that. Great that he eventually got it after many attempts.

[@rugershooter5268]

I've had an ultra and kaw 900lbr......I found them easier to handle at low speeds than touring crotch rockets(Versys style), but I really don't like those bigass fairings My brother was with me, Versys and Sportster, I practice he doesn't, we were on long trip and my GPS told me to go a way I've never been, I turn then turned again then immediately did U-turn to stop and get bearings, he couldn't do the U-turn........in front of his house I do U-turn on my DWG, it's a narrow street, and I can because I practice and I do most practice on the DWG

[@lifeliners1]

can you explain to me how some other you tuber which teaches police level riding shows and says that no brakes and no throttle is used , just clutch control...I just don't get the same information from other instructors

[@motorman857]

You may be misunderstanding. I put up a video a couple of months ago that shows people who are having serious problems finding the friction zone, how to do so by just letting the clutch out until the bike starts to move, while at idle. Then after finding that sweet spot, start adding a little throttle. I also mention in many videos that once you've mastered the friction zone, you should try using no rear brake and just clutch and throttle. I've been teaching the motor officer techniques for 26 years. I'm the 1st motor officer on youtube to teach these techniques and the only one who's sold over a million instructional videos and over 200 thousand books. Get yourself a copy of my Ride Like a Pro Experience video from ridelikeapro.com and you'll see exactly how to use the techniques and in the proper order. That will be the best 20 bucks you'll ever spend on your motorcycle.

[@lifeliners1]

@motorman857 I follow for years and I know your technichs and appreciate them and I used them, I was just saying that there are certain other you tubers that show the maneuvers without throttle or brake

[@motorman857]

@@lifeliners1 I understand. The techniques I teach are based on motor officer techniques. No motor officer training teaches to not use the throttle. Anyone who tells you that, is lying.

[@lifeliners1]

@@motorman857 thanks for your reply ,keep up the good work

[@stephen6157]

👍🏿

[@peterkoutny1928]

Dear Jerry, I have one question.. You are “street glide” guy as I saw.. Tell me please, why you prefer Street Glide over Ultra limited please? From H- D Ultra Limited you can easily “make” Street Glide. Thank you very much for your answer a keep safe! 🙂

[@motorman857]

It's economics. If I want a tourpack, I can get one for as little as 200 dollars. To get the tourpack removal kit for an Ultra a lot costs more than that.

[@grounded7362]

Jerry, the touchy throttle on the BMW shouldn't matter if he were maintaining his throttle and then controlling the speed with the clutch and a little brake pressure, you know that.

[@motorman857]

The techniques are the same on all motorcycles. However, some motorcycles like the BMW with a sensitive throttle and brakes, are more difficult to get a good handle on those techniques. Once a rider masters the techniques on a BMW, it will turn tighter than a Harley due to the greater lean angle but it takes more practice on the BMW due to the sensitive throttle and brakes.

[@JamesG1126]

Motorcycling isn't something you practice and screw up a few times. If you go down, you can be seriously injured or killed.
