I'm 65 years older and have been on a bike from about 10 years old From Detroit to California to Germany all over the United States and Germany you are Dam good.

Don't take anymore boosters. Big no - no

[@applicator40usa69]

I've been riding for 40 years plus, a person can never know everything. Your tips have made me a smarter safer rider..

[@aliwhitwell]

I've been riding for nearly 53 years and still learning new stuff. I'm in Scotland though so we get on and off our bikes on the other side! ;-)

[@trukngal]

Agree!

[@brittanyhellams241]

When i first started riding, I stumbled across a great parking lot that I practiced my turns. It helped me SOOO much! I spent many hours just practicing different scenarios. I felt much more confident. I wish i had these videos back then.

[@jessewoodsonjames6669]

Im 55 years old and have been riding bikes since 5 years old, I thought i was an expert but you showed me i was not,Thank You so much for introducing me to counter steering.Now instead of freakin out and tensing up when situations arise,I feel confident in being safe.God knows i have had my share of crashing,I can say it never used to bother me to hit the dirt but with age its not as easy to bounce back LOL!

Your absolutely correct, that’s how I get on and off my FLHTCU every time, and some of the looks I get, I just have to laugh!🤣🤣

Your riding tip are absolutely correct. I was a 13 year Motor and instructor. Look at a cone, hit a cone. Haha.

[@joelstrickland8890]

[@garywebb4244]

I had to wait 45 years to get my first Harley, I find myself nervous as heck every time I get on her. I’m so glad I came across your videos, I had no idea about the clutch, thank you. I still have to get my motorcycle endorsement which means I’ve got a lot more to learn.

[@adventureguy4119]

It’s been 5 months how have you advanced

[@devildog3125]

Also I highly advise that you take the next step and enroll into the intermediate and advance course classes in your area to help you to polish your skills to infinity and beyond!…And keep safe out there!

[@CantTreadOnMe]

It's always a treat to watch Donna make it look so smooth and stylish.

Thanks for making your instruction DVD's available for download.

[@motorman857]

You are welcome!

[@richardhuber9997]

Hello, I have been watching your videos now for about a month and a half and have learned so much. I'm 74 years old and have noticed that my skills have been slipping pretty severely. After watching you for a couple of weeks I decided to go to a parking lot that's empty on Sundays. I practiced what I saw on your videos for about 45 minutes and was amazed on how much better I was able to handle my harley . Thank you so much for putting your videos on you tube. Your course DVDs are going on my Christmas list.

[@thatsleepyman]

74 years old and riding a Harley... holy smokes that's amazing. I'm currently 21 and working on getting my Motorcycle Licence (in the Netherlands). Good luck and stay safe.

[@terryruss496]

the Motorman is the best thing that ever happened to the civilian motorcycle community. I run an annual "Skills Day" for our CMA chapter where we watch Ride Like a Pro and then go out and practice. We do this at the beginning of the riding season every year in May. These videos are always well received.

[@motorman857]

Great to know.

[@johnwanda5266]

Yesterday, I found my bike on it's side where I parked it. I believe someone hit it or pushed it over (Saturday Night). In my heartbreak, I looked up bikes tipped over and found "Afraid of dropping your motorcycle." I found your videos very informative and Impressive! You guys make riding a larger touring bike (I usually ride sportbikes) look easy especially at low speed, which we know that it isn't. I've had my motorcycle license for about 21 years but rode continuously for about 5. I've subscribed to your channel and continue to learn more, Thank You!

[@juliang1658]

Jerry, everyone wants to be spec ops, until it's time to do it. Thank you for your insight,,.

[@jamesgriffin4048]

I have been riding bikes since I was 15 now 68, I have taken several courses over the years and I am always learning something new. I learned from the best, Police and Highway patrol. I like these videos because you never stop learning something new. One of the lessons I learned was from my Step-dad he said you don't ride it you wear it. Just like all the gear you wear. Motorcycles have a mind of their own. Your in control and you make the bike do what you want it to. Practice makes perfect, but never stop learning from others.

[@markwarren-s9h]

You are the Best Instructor By Far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I been riding off & on for many years, Now at age 67 , Just getting back to riding again, bought a Suzuki Boulevard C50 last week, This video will help a lot Thanks. I will call for your videos, at the hours you posted

[@TreadTalk247]

My Wife took the Ride Like a Pro “RLP” class in Waldorf MD and it was the best thing she ever did to help keep her safe! I watched her take the class and now even after riding for 40 years I too want to take the class! The RLP class should me mandatory for every rider in the USA before they are permitted to get their motorcycle endorsement !

[@thetessellater9163]

We in the UK have to do 'Compulsory Basic Training' (CBT) to ride a small bike only, and for bikes over 35kW power, you need the full training package and then to pass your UK bike test. About half fail first time - usually because they skimped on the training ! It is your life - do it properly !

[@joschmo6020]

She does it better than you do. Hahaha. Super graceful. New subscriber. Rode for 10 years before having children. Never had a big bike. Turned 50 and am now riding a street glide. I took the MSF course and glad they made me do it! Thanks for the knowledge and drills, tips and examples. Not every motorcyclist exudes the same measure of dedication to the art form of riding. My wife & I usually laugh when we see the “LOOK OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES” sticker. We laugh because we agree that we SHOULD look out for them because too high a percentage of them are dangerous to others on the road. Unlike a car, motorcycles aren’t for everyone and required constant practice and upkeep. Skill decay can come quickly but is easily defeated with a couple trips to the parking lots per season. Keep on rollin’

[@rkr894able]

Donna should start her own KZbin channel!!! I actually like her riding skillls more xD Shes so smooth on the turns :D

[@upfront2375]

Your wife looks like she's as skilled as you are if not more lol Seriously... I did not hear a sound from the rail or anything! I wish I was as half good as she is. God bless you for sharing these life/money saving skills with others sir✌

You are the truth i am glad i came across your channel. Also you sell any get out of Jail Free cards with your name on it? lol. Thanks for taking time out of your life to put this out there. I want to learn to ride like a officer they have exceptional skills on a bike. Wish i could come take lessons directly from you in person!

[@U4184]

Thank you for doing these videos. I haven't ridden for 50 years (450 Honda) and just purchased a 2002 Yamaha Road Star Silverado. I now realize how much I don't know about riding. Planning to order some of your videos TODAY. Thanks again and please continue to educate us uninitiated folk. The roads will be much safer because of your efforts. Word of advice. When your wife puts on three pounds, pretend like you didn't notice...

[@RolandMillington]

Been riding for more than 30 years, learned the old-fashioned way. Went out and did everything the wrong way and somehow survived. Yet. I know my slow-speed skills suck. Bought Jerry's course and have been paying attention to it and practicing the slow work. The other day I was done filling up at the gas station and there was a car directly in front of me with the exit directly behind me. Made a nice little U-Turn using Jerry's principles and, although it wasn't the prettiest and tightest anyone had ever done, I got pretty stoked about it. Thanks for putting these common-sense explanations out there for those of us who are learn-it-by-doing it survivors of our youthful foolishness.

[@HasanWarrior]

MotorMan, I’m so glad you included your wife in this video. This proves my point to the so-called old school riders, that it’s technique not the size of the rider that matters. Who in their right mind would ever want their money back from the best riding instruction in the world? Because of your training, many bikers are telling me to become an Instructor for MSF. It’s all because of your DVD’s and diligent practice. Thank you for all you do. I’m grateful.

[@motorman857]

Thank you HasanWarrior.

[@scottrichard3865]

I'd like to add to your point about size HasenWarrior...the same goes for kickstarting.. OF course in PROPERLY tuned condition, technique is everything. I've seen plenty of big ol boys that failed miserably . Pardon my hijack but Motor Man does know ,moreover he understands it all directions and likely turns in for the nights with motorcycles dancing in his head.

[@icemanlol119]

Donna handles the friction zone like a pro

[@Ray-qs9eo]

Also, I have ridden many years and thought I knew everything about riding. But I have learned so many things from your videos that I didn't know. You have improved my riding abilities very much, even in my sixties. Thank you for what you do.

[@motorman857]

Glad to help.

[@prdpapak2563]

I haven't ridden in 40 years and went from a Honda 360 to my new/used Yamaha 950 V-Star. I was terrified my first time out on the bigger bike but these videos have eased my mind. I'm practicing these tips as I prepare for my riding academy class coming up on October 4. Your material has put my mind at ease and I'm now very prepared and excited to begin my new adventure. Can't thank you enough!

[@waynecrowley9869]

Just bought Ride like a Pro. Great tool. Worth it's weight in gold 👌

[@CaneFu]

I took a motorcycle safety course many years ago and they told me to get on and off on the left side but I knew right away they were WRONG. I'm a big guy and there just isn't enough room for me to squeeze between the handlebar and sissy bar on the left, so out of necessity I have always used the right side from day one. Thanks for finally verifying what came natural to me as many people have tried to argue with me over the years on this very point.

[@jimj7925]

Thank you Motorman. I’ve been riding for 25 years and thought I knew what I was doing..... turns out I don’t 😬. I just bought a bike when I was fifteen and started riding just trying not to kill myself. Now I’m forty and still haven’t been properly instructed how to ride. I found your channel about a month ago and I’ve been out almost once a week practicing the stuff you teach and it’s greatly improved my ability to control my bike. This stuff is priceless and I really appreciate you putting it out there for free. I’m also glad I am able to admit I don’t know how to ride properly and my ego isn’t getting in the way of learning. That’s probably your biggest obstacle in getting people to realize they need instruction. Especially all the “experienced” riders out there. Keep up the good work Motorman!!!!

[@TJ-Dives]

Thank you officer for these great vids. Every day a school day.

Still today although riding a lighter bike I use this techniques and tips. Thank you for your work and sharing. Best bucks you can spent if you take your life seriously riding a bike.

[@jackiehogan4866]

Hi, Ive been riding on the street for 9 years now and The slow game has always been a challenge, I have found that I have learned the friction zone sweet spot turning by accident one day . I was so excited how easy and natural It felt! , My husband was always my teacher but he has been deceased now since 2019. I continued riding my 2004 Fatboy with his voice in my head, and have begun searching videos for pointers and YOUR videos are my absolute favorite! I can hardly wait to practice! Thank you!

[@SeekerFor1000]

Thanks Jerry, to you and your wife. I am 70 and weigh 165. Work out in the gym 5 days a week yet dropped the Electra yesterday and couldn't get it back up without help. Choked on the clutch just as I was pulling away. Didn't have a strap to grab the roll bar so couldn't get a grip. YOur ride in the friction info is what I needed. The dip turn is great. Looking forward to ordering your videos when I get back to Canada. Thanks again.

[@motorman857]

Picking up a downed bike is simply a technique. Bike is in gear, pull the low side grip to full lock, grab what ever you can with the other hand and as low as possible, butt against the seat, legs shoulder width apart, and push with both feet against your butt as you take baby steps up. Best to practice this with a helper until you can do it easily.

Hasnt fallen but twice and she knew why because of you. Thank you for your time. Go ahead with the other experts as for my wife and I we will stay with you.

[@koningbolo4700]

Using these and other ride like a pro techniques I was able to get my driving license for the motorcycle in the Netherlands. Thanks for the KZbin lessons Mr. Paladino. Also I like to point out a cheap and easy to store means to have practice markers with you. I use tennis balls cut in half as markers. They stack and store crazy easy and are as useful as the more bulky cones. Tennis balls come in a variety of colors to serve various marking functions and can be had at most tennis clubs which trow them out after a weeks use or so, usually for free or very little money.

However, and I know my course will at least discuss some of it, but I look towards videos like yours late after my shifts so I have a better foundation towards my education of the bike...and not be a liability towards myself or others on the road. Thank you for posting the tips that you have so far, I'm sure they'll come in handy once I start really driving through my favorite scenic routes here in Washington State! :D

After Watching Your Techniques I Feel Better Now To Try Riding It.

[@kevinpolito1529]

Years ago I tried a Top Gun competition and didn't embarrass myself too badly. I turned too quickly in the slalom and caught a few cones. I failed to use the friction zone method during the slow-race. I was able to successfully do the tight figure-8, which I was proud of. Had I seen your videos beforehand, I know I would have done a lot better. I haven't tried a Top Gun since learning the techniques from your videos, but my every day low-speed turning and maneuvering is much better with the "friction zone" and "look where you want to go" techniques.

[@coconutz247]

first time watching. i'm 75 and used to ride a 650 bsa for years when i was a kid. i recently got on a 250 and dropped it first ride out. just like you said, i forgot to watch ahead and panicked. i've recently been practicing on a honda gold wing where going slow is scary. all these tips are gold!

[@domfer2540]

Your video was very good.. In the early 80’s Florida came out with motorcycle endorsement, I worked with Daytona during bike week and myself and other MSF instructors showed the importance of clutch and throttle control. I would do the same exercise on a borrowed Harley with a passenger on the back, when bike riders would say that their bikes where to bike and heavy. We made them believers. I believe we made a different over the decades. I won many slow race at events with a dry clutch BMW 900. You can slow ride and not burn up a clutch. Your wife was very smooth. As an instructor we taught to get on from the left. When I taught future police officers we taught from the right. I like from the right myself. Keep up the good work.

[@davidwindsor9782]

[@groover4293]

I was always taught that you mount a motorcycle from the same side as you mount a horse, on the left.

So you can be looking the horse in the eyeball and letting him know your jumping on ...plus the twist you have to put on the stirrup helps sling you up . It makes sense on a horse ..

well nice, i was doing everything correctly. people always tell me don't use the clutch, use only the rear brake, but i never saw the point. i am also glad my ground clearance is a little bit higher, lol

The friction zone and the throttle will give you precise control at low speeds. The rear brake helps to stabilize the bike when used in conjunction with the friction zone. Always be suspect as to what, so called ''experienced'' riders tell you.
