Yes with helpful intention, and probably not many friends at school, but like myself who am slightly autistic and have adhd, his parents obviously gave him what mine gave me.. a motorcycle to make up for lack of friends. I got my first motocross bike age ten, and am 58 now and still riding free. Best friends in my life are my wife, my dogs, my bikes. IWould like to be also able to say my son too, but he was internationally kidnapped in 2014 and i havent seen him since 2018, and believe he has been parentally alienated, and brainwashed to hate me, and doesn't want to see me, so won't be counting that, as it is not in my life now. Prefer animals and bikes to humans. One's dogs dont stab you in the back, but people do

Oh Doodle….. What a wonderful and memorable time you gave to that young kid “coach”. The attention you showed him will forever help him as he grows up / gains more self confidence…[as I know from my own experience when I was young boy]. It’s a great and quick moment in time, having that crush on an attractive individual, daydreaming as weeks go by. And unfortunately, that hurt you have as days pass and you didn’t get to see your crush 😢. Time heals the heart, and new adventures [crushes] come and go. It’s the memories you gave to “coach” that will last into his old age. From time to time, when he sees a motorcycle or something related to a motorcycle, his mind will be triggered back to that special time he got to spend with you and the day’s activity on a motorcycle.

Practicing is key, learning what you never master too. However, I believe that you need to be able to lift your bike up on your own for a simple reason: you are not always surrounded by people.

No. This is (just one among many other) standard stuffs we learn in order to pass the closed-track exam and to proceed to the "in-traffic (mostly in city-downtown) course". After about 20 - 40 hours of supervised "in-traffic" exercise you will be allowed to go to the final exam. After that exam, which is a 30 minutes long riding in the city (mostly in downtown), you will get your license. Edit: If you have car driving license (so you already know to apply the traffic-rules), it will take about 1.5 month of practice (2 hours on each day except the weekends) to earn the (unrestricted) "A" license. A1 and A2 licenses are somewhat easier to earn.

You’re doing great! I’m no instructor, but I’ve taken some courses and I have some years behind me. The tips I learned for u turns were, crank your head in the direction you are planning to go, making sure your chin actually touches your shoulder. Next, scootch your bum. If you’re turning left, get your right cheek to the centre of the seat, and visa versa. And lastly, keep your eyes up! Oh, and the hardest part for me was learning to trust my tires. They grip! Trust them! I eventually got to the point where I could do the course in first gear at idle, no extra throttle. Turn that head in an exaggerated way! I’m proud of you too!!

I practice my slow skills every time I get on the bike in every weather condition. I practice FULL LOCK circles followed by FULL LOCK figure 8's. I cover both brakes and the clutch. I aim for 20-25% throttle and feather clutch and rear brake to control speed. When I dip into full lock I lean the bike way over and move my butt to the top of the seat on the outside to counterbalance. You looked like you were just starting to get the hang of leaning the bike towards the end of the video. I strongly encourage you to ditch the cones and try FULL LOCK turns where you turn the bars until they won't turn any more and KEEP THEM THERE throughout the duration of your turn. It is one of the harder skills to get the hang of, but one of the most useful.

Also, turn your head all the way over your shoulder before the u-turn and look way off out to where you want to go. 👍

Oh, I needed this! I just got a bike that is 168lbs heavier than my previous one, and my confidence got kicked in its teeth when I dropped it on Day 1. DAY 1!! I've been struggling ever since. I did what you did: devoted entire sessions to just low-speed turns...but overthinking has been my curse. "Just turn the thing! You know how!". But then I feel the greater weight, the different balance, and I get all wobbly and the feet come off the pegs. It's frustration³. It's also male pride, because I'm afraid to drop it even though I know nobody's watching and I'm able to pick it up (which I did *ahem* on Day 1). I know I'll get there. I bought Jerry Paladino's video and I've watched others right here. Yours, I think, was the dose of unapologetic authenticity I needed. Thank you for being so darn real all the time. That's why I'm a fan! Cheers! ~MarkM

I think I've seen two of your videos before, but I really enjoyed this one. You offered great advice that is applicable to riding and other skills, you showed both a desire for growth and the willingness to actually do it, and you did something incredibly nice for someone else. You are definitely pretty freaking awesome.

Great Job! It's amazing how gaining confidence in the slow speed manuevers translates to other aspects of our riding - great job, keep it up!!

I'm glad to find your channel. I love to see the new generation of riders practicing good habits. I rode for about 20 years before I took my first MSF course. I didn't realize how bad of a rider I was until I took that first class. I had so many bad habits to undo. You have a great future in riding.

Loved the video! Nice gesture for Coach. Sweet kid! I'm 57, had dirt bikes and 6-wheelers as a young girl. Life happened and now I'm ready to ride a gain. Son's almost 21, both of us are in the market to purchase bikes. Me, an adventure bike. My son, a sport bike. Getting ready to register for safety classes! We both have SOOOOO much to learn! Rock on girl, just subscribed!

Been following you for a while and it's exciting to see you improve so quickly, of course it was a lot of work as well but well worth it! People only show highlights of them on a motorcycle but nobody ever shows the work, this is inspiring me to go out and practice too!

Respect for seeking support from good coaches. I do have motojitsu app but on my 125 with only 90mm tyres I don’t feel safe for some drills. Wish you all the best and great fun on the trip. I wish we had more moro trainings in UK…

11:58, screaming in your helmet AND just doing it! This is so cool! I'm happy to see this. Makes me feel less weird, talking and sometimes also screaming in my helmet while practising. I don't know you, but I'm proud of you! This is very motivating to watch!

Watching this video I have to say the problem was never your ability. You got that. It's your confidence in your ability. That just takes time. You're doing great.

Girl, thank you! I'm in GA as well and follow all of your adventures. I just starting riding last March, started out on a Vstar 650 and in February, moved up to a roadstar 1600 and I am so nervous with this bike. I hadn't rode all winter, so I feel like I'm back to beginner mode and watching your practice these u turns (I haven't done one yet on the new bike) every day at a parking lot has given me hope that I too can master this bigger bike!
