Practice Session #2 - Two CVO's - Advanced Slow Speed Motorcycle Riding Skills

Hey guys! Welcome back! Ok this was Practice Session #2 of Advanced Slow Motorcycle Riding Skills. We had to do something during the week because everyone isn't off on the weekends. Again fun was had, but more importantly, lessons were learned and skills were heightened.
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.

Eric rolled in there looking like the Devil Cat biker...but he listened and benefitted from what you had to teach him. It was obvious he had been riding a while, but he still came out. RIGHT ON ERIC AND ROBERT!!!!!!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Deb!

[@charleshilliard9151]

I honestly thought that I was a good rider but after watching your videos and applying your techniques has allowed me to step up my game, love the videos and keep doing what you're doing.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Great to hear!

[@ckrehl]

I really like how you instruct, how you speak to us and how gracious you are with your students while still giving them clear and concise directing and feedback. You're also really good and fluid with the camera and camera instruction and riding simulation. Thanks for really good information.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

It's my pleasure Christian. I really appreciate the kind words!👍🏾😊

[@jamieblankenship9594]

I've just found your channel and I love it! I've been riding 47 years and I've gone through several advanced courses but I love your instruction the best! I am a retired LEO and always wanted motors but my department refused to put a girl on a harley! So I bought my own! Keep up the great job!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hi Jamie. Thank you very much! Thank you for your service! That makes my blood boil that they refused to put you on a Harley!!🤬

[@fookin74]

Hi Robert, I’ve been taking in your videos, ramping up for my entrance into this community. I want to thank you for putting yourself on KZbin to allow cats like me to gain the confidence. We need to put 1 foot in front of the other. The date of this comment is 4/22/24. I’m getting my first helmet 4/25/24 and then about a week or two later I’ll be doing the CHP motorcycle training course out here on the West Coast. Again, thank you sir for not only your service out there in New York what you did for a living but also your continued service to the biker community to this day. Thank you I’m gonna go back to your videos and I’m gonna watch them all in order. I don’t wanna miss a thing.! 😂

[@jddonaldsonjr2176]

Great training again Robert! One thing that might help some of your riders out is partially cover the rear brake to feather it instead of having their entire foot on the brake. I find the rear brake is easier to feather the less I cover especially during slow speed maneuvering. Another great exercise to incorporate would be a brake and escape exercise. Most riders probably aren't familiar with how their motors handle during emergency braking and that's definitely a tool that's needed operating a motor on the street. Keep up the good work brother!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks man! Always appreciate the input.

Even though I've been riding over 45 years, I still can learn plenty from you folks. I would love to take a course like yours, or Jerry's!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Wow you really are going all the way back to the first videos!

[@jcwithers]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create content that you're passionate about and that can benefit the novice rider like me. I recently took and passed the MSF Basic Riders Course. Although I passed the evaluation and received my certificate and road test waiver, I struggled with the U-turn and figure 8 portion of the course. Had I watched your videos first, I believe that I could have used the techniques such as preload and using the rear break to master the parts of the course I'd struggled with. My next step is to take the written portion at the DMV and get the Motorcycle endorsement on my license. Then it'll be bike shopping time. Thanks again. And I'll continue watching your videos with anticipation of applying what I learn once I get a bike of my own.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I’d love to train with him but I’m in IL. I told him the other day how I’ve been riding dirty since I been riding and I’m gonna go legit soon (has a 13 year hiatus from riding due to financial reasons and this time around I wanted to really get this slow stuff down since my ride now is a 2010 fatboy not a 500lb Suzuki cruiser like I had all those years ago) I want to get my M endorsement so I can enroll in an advanced slow speed class. These vids are so amazing and have helped me greatly. I have so much respect for everyone who is training to get better. I see so many long time riders duck walking around the gas station even. Or when pulling up in traffic. At least I’m not that bad lol. I can u turn in 3 spots consistently but get nervous when on the street for some reason and sometimes forget the training .. TIME FOR MORE TRAINING FOR ME stay safe brother

[@dreb8man]

[@scottquier929]

I have always (the last year or so) held Jerry as the "Gold Standard" of slow maneuvers with a motorcycle. You're teaching the EXACT same things, same techniques, etc but with an added bonus --- you seem to be more focused on what's going on between the ears rather than the results. For most riders, this is GOLD! Being in Va, sure wish you were closer. And, can't wait for you to get a wireless microphone - maybe for Christmas???? :) Anyway, I love what you're doing! Keep it up and I'll continue to watch your vids ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Hey Scott! Thanks for watching and subscribing! Funny you should mention the wireless mic for Christmas because it's on my list. I would have purchased it already, but my wife gets annoyed when I buy thing for myself in December because she says I ruin the opportunity for others to get me gifts. So all I did was show her a message like yours, in the comments about me needing a wireless microphone and that was all it took. She gave me my wireless microphone today!😁👍🏾

Your description of "clutch in/out" during the u-turn was interesting. I can't wait to try that on my Heritage and Electra Glide. I want to be the boss by not putting my foot down.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you! It’s inevitable with practice. 😊

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Great vid Sir. So many people dont know about that rear brake for help in control with the throttle and clutch at slow speed. Another great use of rear brake is, when coming to a stop in normal traffic conditions use front brake to slow bike and at the very last couple of feet apply rear brake gradually as you release front brake . Come to a stop with just the rear brake. This stops the bike nose diving at a stop .

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Exactly!!! Get your ass over here and help me!😂

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you!

[@peterpearce9296]

Hi Robert Im from the UK. I have just found these videos. They are great. We dont spend enough time doing the slow stuff so when we have to, it can catch us out. I have got into some bad habits and these videos have given me plenty to think about and practice. At the moment if i did your course I wold spend most of my time doing press ups due to too much front brake. Thats my starting point point useing more back brake at slow speeds. Thanks for your time , effort and input.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

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

I must say thanks a million from Saudi Arabia, this is my first year riding goldwing bike & by coincidence i dropped in your channel, i benefited a lot from your experience, watched only practice sessions 1 & 2 so far of advanced slow motorcycle riding skills series but i learned a lot about the techniques, can't wait to get out on the street and demonstrate what I've just learnt , i subscribed to your channel & notification turned on. Thanks once again bro

Hey Mohammed. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I'm glad my channel has been helpful and I'm even happier that you're eager to get out there and practice! My pleasure.😊👍🏾

Nice show, Robert, thank you for your time! Snow is about to fly here in southeast Wisconsin so I'm down to practicing mentally.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks! Mental practice also has benefits!

Hey Robert, another great video - I really enjoyed this one with you coaching Eric. He is an accomplished rider and was able to wxecute the things you were suggesting he do. So, good job Eric, as well! I'm just picking up my bike today - 3/11/21 - spring in Pennsylvania - was in for my 18k mile check-up, new tires and break pads! I am riding a BMW K1600GTL and look forward to getting out and replicating your courses! Great stuff - thanks for sharing your knowledge! Best regards,

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

As much as I'd really appreciate learning from you, alas (like many of your subscribers), I'm halfway across the country in Denver, CO. However, I did (just this week) find out about a local practice group with a motor officer conducting lessons. I'm going to start attending and let you know about my progress. These lessons are OUTSTANDING - thank you, Robert!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Fantastic! Please keep me apprised!

This is definitely one of the better tutorials I've seen on KZbin. Ive only been subscribed for almost a week and watched almost all your videos. Great content, great instruction and understandable. Im in New York but can't wait for it to get warmer to put your advice to practice. Thanks Rob

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks for watching and subscribing Rob! And thanks for the compliment! None of your words are taken for granted I assure you! Your practice weather is right around the corner!👍🏾😊

Great integrity recently pickup a 84 Yamaha venture needs work bought on the cheap bones are there so little at a time with it also will be signing up North Dakota Motor cycle training classes in March haven't ride on a bike since teenager being 56 years old now 23 years of being a truck driver. Watching your video will help before training begins.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Dave! That's great to hear!

[@UsernameRK07]

Nice demo Robert. Indeed catching yourself with that clutch/friction zone vs putting your foot down shows a high awareness level of the rider and their motorcycle. ALL riders should strive for that.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks! Of course I agree with you!😊

[@tonygeee8466]

My cones have arrived!! I’m all in. Another great video. The “right turn” comment, about being a bit tougher is interesting. I agree. Not sure why. Maybe because at a crossing it’s usually sharper and we use more concentration? Idk Thank you

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Fantastic! I'm glad you got your cones. I think the right turns are tougher because your clutch hand is now further away from your body. I don't know....😄

[@russellivey1186]

Great video! Just purchased my '18 Ultra Limited a couple weeks ago, and already am practicing these skills with it. I noticed while Eric was doing the slow speed turns if he would have leaned his body in the opposite direction a little more his turns would have been even tighter. Once again...great video series!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thank you very much! Congratulations on your new bike!👍🏾
