This was the "Meet & Greet" edition and as always, we had a blast, but most importantly, V.I.Preloaders and Preloaders gained confidence which means they left safer riders and that's ultimately what this is all about. So sit back, relax and enjoy, but pay attention as Wasey, Eddie, Gregg, James, Clay, Garnett, Dwight, Herman & Dave work on being the Boss of their motorcycles!!
You may be asking yourself, what 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.

Hey, What's Up Clay? Every time I practice I visualize Robert, you and Pam. Mrs. Simmons I promise you as soon as I can figure out a way to get my shirts to me in the Philippines it's on 😆 Robert, I agree "Always put the motorcycle in first gear" but I found out the hard way I have to Always Check My Fuel Level because I had to walk in the hot Philippines sun to a gas station 😆

Oh no. Watch that gauge buddy!😀👍🏾

You should use a bull horn. Your riders will appreciate your coaching better. They can’t hear you with over the loud pipes

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Blake. They can hear me.

Never did hear you talk a out gravel. If you did it was only briefly when you mention sand. Maybe next lesson. You could talk about maneuvering through gravel parking lots ,

I did. I said use Exercise #2.
