Practice Session #13 - Advanced Slow Speed Motorcycle Riding Skills

Hello KZbinrs! A special hello to my fellow PRELOADERS! For those of you that aren't PRELOADERS yet, hit that subscribe button and become one. This video covers Practice session #13 which included the largest amount of riders to attend one of my practice sessions! I want to apologize for the wait. I had some serious editing issues and with a video this long, everything takes much longer. As frustrating as this process was, I wasn't going to stop until I got it out to my PRELOADERS. So I hope you enjoy it and most importantly, I hope you get something from it that will help you in your quest to be the Boss of your motorcycle!😊👍🏾
You may be asking yourself, who are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

[@Daschickenify]

Exercise 3 "trust and believe" made a huge difference in low speed confidence for me. It can demonstrate in just a few passes how you can go from falling over to straight up just by accelerating. I remember a time when I was riding a KLX 250 on a trail, and I came to a stop on a small hill, went to put my foot down and realized the ground was a foot away. I had a whole two seconds to contemplate whether or not to try and ride away or let it fall at a stop. At the time I let it fall, figuring it was going to fall anyways and wouldn't hurt as bad when stopped. I know better now.

Son of a gun. The KZbin algorithms are reading my thoughts. Thanks for sharing. I’m totally new rider. Dropped my BMW F800 GSA Twice. It happened when least expected at a stop. That put the anxiety into me. I won’t even mention what women can do to impact your thoughts. You hit the nail on the head. However any emotion can be unsafe. Like being super excited because you have that feeling to go have fun. Yesterday, I helped the maintenance guy at my condo building. He said that sweeping a broom is the most difficult exercise. He was right. So now I sweep as long as it takes to clear my thoughts. It involves inspecting my bike. My gear. Organizing. Because you need to program the muscle memory to know what to do in any situation. I can’t speak for other riders. If I’m not 100 % in the zone then I have to do something. The human brain is the most important component of your machine. Develop the love relationship. It will love you back 10 fold. Only speaking for myself, ride your own ride.

I fell upon this video. I bought a 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom 3 weeks ago. I've only had 2 weekends for practice as of today (3 / 28 / 21 ). I've put 30 miles on my new bike and all of it was practice riding with Turn From Stop, Weaving, Throttle / Clutch control and Stopping. It seems that U-Turns just come natural for me since I'm not afraid to lean the bike. Anyway, watching your video was helpful for me. You explained the Turn from Stop very well and I'll be practicing that next weekend weather permitting. My Beginner Rider Course is in the first week of May ' 20. Thanks to you, I now have even more interest in getting better skills. This is the very best Video I have seen on the subject. Thank you SO much. :-)

I was on a motorcycle course a little more than45 years ago and your information rocks. Great job! We did have a guy show up on the third morning. We had been doing circles, serpentine, cones for the first two days but on the third day we hit the road. There were about 12 of us following a leader (car) and he got to a stop sign on a gravel road. The late arrival locked up his front wheel and dumped the bike. Have you ever seen a person grab the handle bars of a Harley and jerk it upright from laying on it's side with the front wheel coming 12 inches off the ground? We called him sir after that. The information contained in this video is excellent!

One key element of your slow speed tight turn maneuvering that other YT ride instruction content providers almost completely neglect is USING THE CLUTCH AND KEEPING THE ENGINE REVS UP into a usable range for cornering. The same goes for twistie road riding at speed. A good practice is to end your run in first gear unless you're going to back into a parking space, etc.

[@ThanhTran-pv4kl]

Thank you for another informative vedio.. on the exercise in which the left foot goes up first and letting the motorcycle start to fall before applying power to the rear wheel is just for practice on balance and control. I can see new preloaders did not realize it in a previous vedio and do the same on the next exercise in which it wasn't required. Just my two cents. Finally, I'm getting so much better from watching your vedio, but I don't think I can get up to your skill level anytime soon. It's definitely a great challenge to practice slow speed maneuver. Thanks again Robert

20 years after i sold my BMW i bought a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited. So the next question was how am i going to ride this monster….. waiting for my license plates i followed Roberts lessons on line…. And believe it or not….today i drove for the first time my 415kg bike and everything what Robert said worked…. Curves, slow turns, using only the rear break, balance between throttle and clutch etc…. I am so happy and my first ride was without stress and just enjoying the ride…Thank you Robert you are the best…. Greetings from Belgium.

Mr Simmons I am so happy that I stumbled across your video, I learned that I need to change the way I ride almost completely. I had an accident about a week ago on my brand new Ultra am I am crushed (after watching that fat boy, I wish I kept my Road King). I understand many things I did wrong after watching this video! "Pre-Load" & keeping foot on rear brake, well I will not forget this. My left turns (that's what got me), U-turns, figure 8 (4get about it) are weak at best. But I will start practicing more. I thank you for making me aware. Wish you were still up North. KEEP UP THE GR8 WORK OF PAYING IT FORWARD SIR...!

[@garychandler4296]

A time saver I use is on the slow ride. I have them all abreast in a line with me in the middle walking, and tell them to try not to pass me. I start kinda briskly, and keep walking slower and slower. You find out pretty quick who has too little throttle (stalls) or has the clutch out (can't go slow). I also tell them to practice this when coming to red lights, instead of stopping quickly, which is how I learned.

Robert, I came your video by luck, my Daughter who is a Novice to riding street asked me what she was doing wrong in making slow turns. This is when I found your videos. Thinking she may get something from someone else than just me and it may stick with her and answer her questions. I must say I sat right there and watch every minute of it with her and I picked up several things. I thank you for your great videos and I will be looking forward to watching Moreno them. Keep up the great work. B. iker O. f S. Low S. peed

1:28:00 let me start by saying im not talking shit about the guy, i just think its important to recognize how easy it is for anyone to dump a bike like this by accident. makes me appreciate this video just that much more because its important to learn how to handle a bike even at low speed (the speed no one thinks about) this was an amazing video, and i hope to learn as much as possible from the content. keep it up! 👍👍👍

Another great video! Guys, and gals, these practice exercises are invaluable. I’ve been riding a little over a year. My first bike. Last year I went to my first bike rally in Red River NM. It was very intimidating as I had my bike for about a month. (I successfully completed the MSF training in Durango. Great instructors)Red River is a small rally compared to a lot of others. After that I found Roberts videos and started practicing learning to “trust and believe”. I rode 8 hours to AZ bike week last weekend and having the fundamentals down has given me that confidence one needs when around 10’s of thousands of bikers. Great stuff Robert!

I'm ALL about the low speed skills and practice every chance I get. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else that rides, so I end up practicing alone. I loved the group setting I found in the MSF course, so if you ever make your way up to the Northern Virginia/DC area, you'll 100% be seeing my face there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and this video.

Mr Simmons, thank you for this video and to all the crew that participated. To me, this is teaching at its best. As someone who wants to go back on two wheels after a 20 year hiatus, I need to address my basics with "boss" mentality. I will put everything I learn from you into diligent practice.

Watching this makes me wish I still lived in Savannah. When I was a senior in HS, we moved to Hunter AAF in 1968. My father was in the Army. I loved Chatham Country. I still have family in the area. Keep up the great work Sir! I now live in Texas, but if I ever find a way to enjoy one of your classes, you can count on my joining in on a Class. I’ve attended MSF and Ride like a Pro on the West Coast a few years back. The best course I took was with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Dpt. It tested me in ways I never expected. Your positive approach and communication skills are going to save many lives Robert! Well done! My skills at this time, I’d put at a 6. But that’s not good enough. I’m recovering from neck surgery at this time, but will be breaking out my Ultra Classic CVO as soon as possible to practice and improve my slow riding skills. God bless!

[@johndunnigan6298]

Hey Robert, attended & enjoyed this session. Have been practicing a few hrs/wk. The only thing I've adjusted is doing the U turn from a dead stop- as opposed from rolling. Gives me more of a real life practice when doing u turns on multi lanes roads (generally trying to get gas). Keep up the good work

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

I'm very happy to read this! You won't believe this... I'm actually planning on introducing that to exercise #6. That's really good that you're doing that because most would find that more difficult. I'm sure you know why.👍🏾

[@garychandler4296]

THROTTLE THROTTLE THROTTLE!!! My tip for this is to first set your throttle lock to where it just almost holds it open. In other words, you tighten it to hold open, then loosen the screw until it just releases it, so you'll have some drag on it for more control, but won't rev the engine if you tip over.

Hey Robert. So I took a motorcycle class last weekend bc you inspired me to do so. The class was very enlightening. Get this, the next day I went out to an open lot to practice my slow manuevers only to burn my dog gone clutch. I thought that a wet clutch wouldn't get smoked as easily as a car's clutch, when you keep it engaged in slow movements. Goes to show you how much more I need to learn.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hey Jesus. Sorry about your clutch, but the highlight of you message for me was you were inspired to take a motorcycle class and you went out to practice. That’s great! Keep it up brother!

[@garychandler4296]

You'll want to circle the lot every now and then with 3rd gear, clutch engaged, to cool her off a bit.

Good stuff man... I just watched your traveling down to Florida video meeting up with ride like a pro guy... I will say this... I'm 58 and I've been riding since I was 18... Thought I knew all I needed to know... Just happened to watch ride like a pro before I went down to Tennessee to ride the circuits down there... The tale, moonshiners run, diamondback, blue ridge parkway, and the devil's triangle, and if I hadn't washed that, doing the triangle with three 180° switchbacks uphill, not knowing about the friction zone and keeping power to the rearwheel at all times... I'm sure it would have laid it down with tragic results. Keep doing what you're doing... Old dogs CAN learn new tricks! Later

Thank you very much Doug! Very well said!👍🏾
