Big thank you to Jerry, Donna and Joe for having these classes. I was one of the fortunate riders in this class. Yes I think all the students had done their homework before class, we all knew what we had signed up for. Jerry and his team do everything possible to help every student do their best. It is a wonderful experience and great atmosphere to learn and improve your riding skills. Fastest four hours I have ever spent in classroom! My favorite exercise was when we were all doing the intersection together, the sounds of those Harley’s all rumbling and focus required was mind blowing. Of course getting to follow Jerry through the snowman was pretty awesome to. Thanks to my classmates for coming prepared I think that really made for a good experience for everyone including the instructors. My suggestion to everyone get Jerry’s New Best Combo Deal With Shortcuts Video & Bonus DVD practice then treat yourself by signing up for his class or one of his franchise classes. I guarantee you want regret it and you will be a better motorcyclist for it. Thanks again for the memories Richard

@@ajpum65 I have a 2018 Goldwing. You drop a 2018 or newer gold wing and you are doing $1500-2500 worth of damage especially if you are doing advanced training to not be a doofus as Jerry says. You drop it and your Saddle bags are scratched and the little crash guards they say will protect the bike completely collapse. I even bought after market front guards that were supposed to protect it but when I dropped it they ended up bending and cracked my engine covers (cheap crap that looked good). I also have a 2019 Harley and the motorcycle drop guards are the best investment and purchase of any motorcycle accessory I have ever purchased for a motorcycle and I would pay $1000 for them for my gold wing as would many of my fellow gold wing enthusiasts because that bike will go down if you actually ride it and not just go in straight lines to a club meeting. The videos of the drop guards really do not do them justice. Drop Guards are a no brainer, but as you said they don't make them for gold wings.

@@mikep4521 Good to know Mike! Wow, I didn’t realize the newer Wings didn’t have the same protection as the older generations. I have a 2006 and I have had mine on it’s guards in the garage. No painted surface was touching. Not good if I ever dropped it on a gravel road! I took the Ride Like a Pro class here in Texas a few years ago. I took pipe insulation and wrapped it around my guards. Lol I never dropped it but that was a very cheap (temporary) solution for the class. Now that I have more skills, I don’t plan on dropping her. Of course I am being optimistic to say the least. First gear on a Wing keeps you on your toes at all times. - Thanks for replying Mike.

When I had to get a new license for the place where I live now (my country’s license ain’t valid here).... the test was pretty hard. Some parts were hard even for some of the local instructors and I hadn’t touched a motorcycle in 5 years. I managed to pass by practicing and watching this channel (and MCRider) for a month. What I’m trying to say is.... I learned more from WATCHING Motorman’s videos in a month, than in 25 years of riding (and that included crossing part of the Colombian Andes) before my 5 years pause and EU license test. It has to be amazing how much one could learn in person. This stuff is super legit! Thanks, Motorman!!!

Regarding your comment on European Riders and 125cc bikes, there are several levels of driving licenses and to be allowed to ride bigger bikes we must perform the exam - including figure eight - on bigger bikes. I am a Harley rider for some years and the major difficulty is not mastering the clutch/rear brake/balance. Making an U turn in a steep cobblestone street is something you must learn to live with in order to get from point A to B. Countries are far from being flat as pancake and that's the reason some brands (Honda, BMW) include a reverse gear on their touring bikes, something that Harley does not feel the need to do. Really enjoy your videos and would love to attend one of your classes

I watch all your videos and only wish I was close enough to train a bit with you. Anyway, I just bought a 2007 Honda Shadow 600 and will start practicing on that when it's ready.

@motorman8573 жыл бұрын
If you're on a Harley, 1800/2000 RPM's is a bit high. That would cause too much rear brake pressure and cause unneeded wear on the clutch and brake. If you're on a 4 or 6 cylinder or sport type bike 1800/2000 is ok but you should get to where you don't need any rear brake pressure. Regardless of the type of bike, practice until you no longer need the rear brake at all unless you are riding in competition.

Good vid but one correction. To obtain a full licence in Europe , you have to take the test on a 650cc plus bike, not a 125. Most failures do occur on the U-turn ( straight fail if you put you your foot down). Nowadays, the full test is fairly comprehensive in four parts. First CBT for 125cc license, next written Highway Code test followed by off- road skills (u-turns, emergency stop, etc) & then an on road test, I think of about 45 minutes. Back in my day, it was really easy but much more difficult now. And, of course, there are far fewer heavy cruisers in the UK & Europe as we have a very different road system in European cities. Riders here seem to prefer adventure tourers like the GS & sports bikes for the open road. The skills are pretty much the same, whether you ride a 50cc scooter or an Ultra Glide but big heavy bikes are obviously more difficult to manage at slow speed. The physics is the same whatever the bike & as you say, if you master the head and eye concept, you’re gonna get it. Ride safe, folks.

Fabulous videos with great teaching! One of the issues I have trouble with (growing up on a farm with tractors, trucks, and whatever) it the "clutch friction zone" - and repeated use for practicing, etc. Knowing that repeated clutch slippage at the friction zone creates significant heat and clutch wear, I have concerns about practicing these techniques in a parking lot for a significant amount of time (Gold Wing owner). I get the concept -- but repeated practice would seem to cause significant wear to the clutch facings... or am I thinking too cautiously about this? I want to improve my skills, but don't want to cause damage to my clutch while doing to.

I practiced on a 2010 Street Glide before I took the class ... traded it in last month and had 2500 miles on CVO when the class started. Not nervous at all

@@mikeybats2 coolest factory paint yet! I owned a silver 2015 StreetGlide but I’m saving for a Roadglide. This finish looks better on the Street, though. Enjoy that gorgeous bike! 🤘😎⚡️

@Motorman - It would be great if you could bring on a motor pool mechanic who can talk about basic maintenance to ensure safety during all phases of m/c ops. Like maybe one week for HD and one week for metric? Especially things like adjusting brakes and clutch, PM, tire types and optimal pressures, frame protection, comms equipment, electrical, rain/snow/inclement weather, optional gear, etc... Thoughts?

Thanks for the info, is the 8 - 10 MPH pretty much for all bikes? I'm on a 1200cc bike that weighs around 600 lbs.
