When I went to Motor school, we used short sections of fire hose ( split lengthwise) wrapped around the engine and saddle bag guards (2 layers) and secured it with metal pipe clamps. Your local firehouse usually has a couple feet of old fire hose laying around they can give you. Fire hose is canvas-covered rubber hose, and is very abrasion resistant. Always worked for us. Just an option to try…

[@rabukan5842]

Robert, you are doing your own thing, making your own contribution. You can franchise your own teachings, or just keep doing it for fun and enlightenment. I have Jerry’s videos and they are great, but I’ve learned a lot from watching the way you teach as well. Once you have to teach someone else’s way, your students, to a substantial degree, will lose the originality you have to offer. I’ve been in education since 1988 and have developed programs in various fields. Yes, you can always learn new things, but you are already a master of these skills. Now you can take your own time and come up with new ideas to get your vision across. We need both you and Jerry teaching these techniques and skills to the motorcycle community. It’s all about safety.

Thank you! And it does go by fast. Especially when you're having fun, and that I did!

And the perfect unit to get the best pictures was the Highway Patrol!

I always loved it when I had to travel for my job (which was VERY often) and they'd give us fistfuls of money for food and lodging. We'd stay in rooms like that, or we'd rent an apartment for a month. Comfort is nice to have when on the road. Glad to hear your time with Jerry went well! Jerry's videos (I purchased them years ago) were the precursor to me being able to excel in my slow speed skills from the git-go, and the MSF course was merely a technicality for my license. I did, of course, learn some great things in the MSF course, but the foundation laid in Jerry's videos allowed me to easily grasp and execute what was taught in the class. I'm sure I mentioned that in another video already. As an aside, I totally spaced out that you are in Georgia. LOL I was wondering how you did a trip from NY to FL in five hours. I'm in northeastern Tennessee, so I'm probably not too far from you. If I get the opportunity, I'd love to come down and ride with you. My friend who recently moved to Tennessee a few miles from me is also a motorcycle instructor. I bet he'd love it as well. Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often!

Your a good man Robert, great video. Nice digs, that look like one of the long stay places we used to use on recurrent airline training. And one long stay places we used to stay on Waikiki Beach on line trips. I'm sure your wife would approve. Now that I'm putting down my rice rocket to pick up a 950 lb bike empty weight. I hope I can keep up my skills.. I'm going to take Jerry's course since I am here close. An if I was in Georgia I take your course, whether franchised or yours. I can always alternate between both, for an annual recurrent heavy weight bike training. All of us pilots Air Force or Airline always need recurrent training, always. Same, same here. Thank you for your service and your continued dedication to safety. God Bless Brothers. PS.. the hotel in Waikiki Beach was the Luana. It's a little bit old school compared to the one you were staying on your way to Florida. But still nice you're overlooking to Darussi Park in Waikiki Beach, get the beachside room and the highest floor you could get them to give you. If you're retired military could go over to the military hotel Hola KOA Coco's the best breakfast buffets on Waikiki Beach. The nightlife ain't too bad either. You could go to tiki bar at night whether you're retired military or not. At least I seen it before. Every Friday or Saturday fireworks.

Awesome video Robert, it reminds me of motor school all over again. I have a love/hate relationship with cones still but, I'm determined to improve my skill set beyond motor school. Like you, I enjoy the challenges that cone exercises present so, with that being said, I ordered/installed some parts on my Ultra to assist me with that endeavor. I purchased the parts come from "The SoftBrake Company," 1. reduced reached clutch/brake levers and an extended brake lever. The levers bring your reach in an inch and the brake pedal down closer to the floorboard for a more natural feel. Can't wait to see your video with Wood Jr., I know it's going to be FIRE!!!

Great videos, I found you by accident as far as the rider training. You did a review on a headlight LOL, which was an awesome comparison. But I saw you using your techniques and spoke of it. I then looked at your video pages and started with the first one. And upon working my way out from there, I have bounced around a little but what an inspiring channel you put together. I was already watching some of Jerry’s videos at about the same time. But wow, I didn't realize this was all going to take me on this learning adventure. Intervention and a blessing at the same time. I have been riding Harleys since 1987 (mostly old cobbled up choppers back then) I have been on FLHT since 2004. I have 3 bikes currently (91 Springer -1 in 500 paint, 06 Softail with BIG S&S Engine in it.) Current main ride is 2021 Limited I got in Oct at Biketoberfest. Prior was 2010 Limited traded in at 135000 miles. Before that I had 2005 EG Standard (110000 miles) that I made a SG before there was SG models lol and the first FLHT was a 91 Ultra (89000) that was my first touring I got in 2004. The ride I had at that moment in time was a monster long Custom Chop complete opposite of the touring bikes. I can say I have ridden in snow, rain, hail etc. And of course, SUN. I have ridden hard highway miles for days (PA to Daytona PA to Sturgis) In town riding. I ride everyday now being in Fla. I was former PA now in Daytona Beach area is where we live. I was a fair rider in the slow area. The preload and keep loaded technique I had never knew. I just had a natural balance and good luck. In the past few weeks, I have gained so much knowledge in such a small area that is monumental in nature it is hard to describe. Thank you so much for what you do and all you share.

Another great video. You're doing an amazing service for all of your biker friends. I bought Jerry's video and books and took the Ride Like a Pro Course in Massachusetts twice. When I was invited to hook up with local PD motor officers' monthly practice, I went back for a private class. Happy to report that I wasn't the worse guy there. lol Thanks to Jerry and professionals like you, guys like me can enjoy the fine art of "cone drills". Many thanks!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you! My pleasure.

It was my life’s dream to be a bike cop. I took the state police once. Went to law school, became a prosecutor instead. I have many good friends who are both local and state police motor officers. “I missed my calling!” Lol

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

@@mikedarcheable thanks for sharing that!😊👍🏾

I have been watching your videos for about two weeks now and this video earned my sub. You practice what you preach. Thank you for your service, not just your Motor cop service ( no disrespect intended it is just how I talk) but also your continued service to your community. I am too far from any of Jerry's franchise locations to feasibly attend but I did buy his course and some cones. Thank you for this content, it is sorely needed. I am just now stepping into a GL1500 GoldWing and I need to learn to ride all over again. Oregon has no CC size restrictions which imo they should have. My starter was an S50 Boulevard(805cc V-Twin) and it is simply not the same class as this GoldWing, to me it is scary in the ridiculous sense. that we can take a 5 ish hour course and then jump on any size scooter with out more training.

Hello Sir I came across your video's like I found Ride like a pro video's I live right down the street from where you attended the ride like a pro class I'm looking forward to watching you video's because are very informative as well as looking forward to taking the ride like a pro course but I just wanted to take a minute and tell you I enjoyed this video of you taking the ride like a pro course and I've enjoyed watching your video since I've come across them thank you

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊

[@ThrottleBackRubberDown]

Great video. Jerry's work is excellent. One of several channels I follow to brush up on drills and get out and practice some skills.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Indeed!

[@harleytrader3820]

I first found Ride Like A Pro and Jerry Paladino on KZbin ands thought it looked pretty cool. Sadly I had already left Florida and was back in Virginia. I then learned that Dave Russell in Waldorf Maryland had a franchise and ended up taking his course first. I then went back and took it again and helped Dave teach the class. We became great friends to this day and even met up a few times for so Motor Rodeo's. I later learned Jerry was going to be in Tenn. I think and me and my brother rode our bikes down there to take his class, I really wanted to meet him. Anyway, from those few classes I ended up a Motor Cycle Rodeo junkie and tried to enter any competition I could find. This is a great and wonderful past time learning to better ones skills as a motor cycle rider and I encourage everyone to really learn the skills you see here.

I am not sure but I think from one of Jerry's video, I found a place that sold solid formed plastic guard for my 09 Road Glide and put them on in 2010 and left them on when I sold her in 2019. They looked great and never had any issue with them. (and lot better looking then those pipe heat protectors!) Great video, but age has put me on the Can Am Spyder and I feel a lot better about riding. Now when this damn snow melts!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

The snow will be gone before you know it... I hope. 🤞🏾

[@pd6569]

Robert, you were an animal out there! Very motivating. Nerves of steel. Be safe and well.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much!

[@surfczar]

Robert, great video, thank you so much. I am riding down there in September to take Jerry's class, and I am stoked. thank you for your views on it.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊

[@DowneyBums]

I like your approach to teaching. I’ve been watching various motorcycle videos for the past year, since my M2. I have to admit that I truly get more out of your videos. I still haven’t diligently practiced but your methods are at the top of my mind during slower speeds especially re the power to the rear wheel. I’m not quite there with the back break I’m ashamed to say and I truly need that. I live in a condo and park in the underground. Getting in and out are one of my biggest challenges but I believe once get more use/comfortable with your techniques I’ll be more confident. As an aside, I love your wall behind you in this video.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hi Celeste. Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 Also, thank you for the compliment! I hope this isn’t the last time I hear from you. Once you actually get out there and start practicing, if you don’t mind, I’d like you to email to keep me apprised of your progress. I especially want to hear about you getting in and out of your parking location. Using that rear brake will make a huge difference!👍🏾

[@ellaty5744]

I’m going to the one in Az in 2 weeks, can’t wait. Can’t beat a good teacher! Thanks for the video!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

It’s my pleasure. 😊

[@six8415]

Thank you for paying your knowledge forward,👍🏾

[@stevenwaller192]

Hi Robert! Cool video! Couple things to mention. It looked like you tied the bike down via the cash er bag guards . I learned from watching my local HD dealer load bikes in trailer. They used a condor wheel chock . Tied down the forks and used the rear passenger pegs/ board bracket. You are a great rider on that course . Took Jerry’s course in March .. I still need more practice. . Keep up your videos

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks for the tips! Appreciated.

[@Richiebones]

Its pays brother just not in cash . You are getting food for the soul . Your a good man brother just keeping doing it like you do it and you will be in good standing with the farther and your payment will be from the big guy upstairs in the form of blessings in your life . God bless brother have a awesome day

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

[@leebrown7755]

Great video! After 35+ years of riding, I was starting to get some of the low-speed turning down and then I went and bought a DCT GoldWing. Now it's like starting all over being I have no friction zone now and its all brake.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Lee! Yes it is like starting all over, but not exactly. Did you watch "Advanced Slow Motorcycle Riding Skills - Practice Session #3'?

Thanks Jose!👍🏾😊

[@bobmilo2786]

Just stumbled on your videos a few days ago. I've become addicted. Great job and I love the postivity and enthusiasm you project. I have been riding for some years but recently bought a Road Glide. Its been somewhat intimidating and I've gotten better. Without doubt I would love to improve my slow riding techniques. Any recommendation in the Chicago area Robert. Thanks and stay safe. Bob (retired CPD)

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hey Bob! First, thank you for your service! I hope you're enjoying retirement. Secondly, congratulations on the Road Glide! The goal of course, is to get you promoted to be the Boss of your motorcycle.👍🏾 Sorry I don't have any recommendations other than getting yourself some cones and getting out there and practices.

[@davidmitchell9048]
