U- turns from a stop

[@gravyau]

A couple months a few minutes each day and now I really feel like I can’t drop my bike if I try. 10% Jerry and 90% practice and you can’t go wrong 😎 thanks mate.

[@oscars6030]

Beautiful comment THANK YOU!!!

[@justink2101]

"You can go ahead and duck walk and look foolish if you want to that's fine" lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@janiceyork4531]

Jerry Palladino, I absolutely love how you explain the details of learning how to ride a motorcycle and bringing your wife into it helps as well. I have told so many women to go watch your videos and buy your videos so they can feel comfortable on a motorcycle. You taught me how to do a u-turn and I'm almost better riding a motorcycle than my husband because of you. I'm really good with the friction Zone, but by you saying look where you want to go and turn your head there actually saved my life from not hitting the front of a semi. I'm actually giggling to myself when I see duck walkers. I'll be 64 in July 2021 and I'm more afraid of other drivers now than ever before, but there's nothing better than riding a motorcycle sometimes.

[@motorcycleman-go4708]

love that there is this kind of instruction out there! It makes riding so much more fun and it becomes almost a zen activity when you constantly challenge yourself.

[@daveyoung1518]

I'm a pretty avid rider and I will say that I still go back to watch these kinds of videos. You can always re-learn something, or learn something new. Never get complacent when you ride a bike. You don't have the opportunities to make the same life saving moves as you do in a car. Its always smart to go back and re-watch even the most basic stuff like this. Who knows, it could save your life.

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

Ok, I have to admit, that turn at the end was really well done. Those monster bikes have always been way too much for me to even want to try that. Good tips. Safe riding people.

[@jackorear2536]

I've been watching a lot of these police videos, and I have to say that they know how to ride a LOT better than I ever realized. I started watching more now that I have a really big bike, and I want to be as good a rider as possible. I'm not a new rider, but the machine I just got is my biggest yet. Really, these officers are very skilled and confident, and I appreciate the videos.

[@doug3512]

I'm not a fan of saying a person looks foolish duck walking their u-turn. Depending on their experience, I'd rather have them operating safely than worrying about judgement from other people. Be safe, ride within your limits, and practice.

[@leonardm7]

I purchased all his DVD's. 3 tips so far saved me from a crash! All is courses needs to be a mandatory class throughout the country. Best money I ever spent. Best techniques and evasive maneuvers ever.

This guy handles his 900lb motorcycle better than I walk. I fall over in Walmart.

[@biglyon123]

I don’t think that’s 900 lb that bike it’s probably 650 I can tell cause of the engine block .. the one I got is a 2000 Yamaha royal star venture now that is 875 .. I think it’s the heaviest bike

[@luvyesmusic]

Trailing with the rearbrakes allows one to do so many maneuvers and turns along with proper shoulder, head placement and looking where one wants to go, and of course the confidence of being able to ride any size bike.

[@garylindsaylindsay674]

I've became alot better rider just from watching your video's and going out and practicing your techniques , thank you so much . I have learned so much but always room for improvement and I'll just keep practicing. Thank you again.

[@frankkearse6519]

Great lesson, as always, thank you.... also for your service. I recently got back in the game. Bikes are different now... gotta love technology Having motorcycle cops share their training.... makes everyone safer. I lift my hat to you brother. YOU GUYS ARE AN ELITE CLUB !!

[@craigversetti5700]

Love this guy and his channel , extremely educational and helpful for even the experienced riders ...

[@martyedmondson8548]

I’ve been doing full lock u turns from stop for years thanks to Jerry! Practicing lots of ninety degree pull outs first helped me to get the u turns. I also made myself do push-ups in the parking lot every time my brain forced my hands to straighten the bars. I’m sure that looked interesting to passerbys. Thank you Jerry and RLAP Team!

[@johnstraub7494]

I have performed the U-turn in two methods you have taught before. Depending on where I am in that left turn lane, if I am first to go, I use the method you showed in this video, and if I am a car or two back, I use the dip before going into the turn. I find both to be very helpful while riding.

[@thejerseyj9422]

Now that's impressive. No kidding, to be able to swing a bike as big as that like a bicycle impresses the hell out of me. Watching the Motorman duck walk is just plain weird. 😄

[@MrEddieo1]

Its the little things we recall when on our bikes that make us better,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and safer. Thanks Motor Man.

[@markherveat2169]

I can learn a lot from you. You're serious about riding correctly. Thank you so much.

[@devonnewest7990]

VERY impressive! Love watching you control that big big bike!

When I grew up (technically) I want to Ride Like a Pro. 2 thumbs up

[@Mark-eu4di]

I’ve been riding big bikes for about 14 yrs, I started with a local school (Highly Recommend!) and then a 1000 of Jerry’s videos and books, I practiced alot and still feel I need to work on these damn U turns from a stop because my bike is just under 1000lbs and I definitely don’t wanna drop it, ya know? So I will continue working on it, thanks Jerry, you make it look so easy my friend!

[@Big.Ron1]

Here in the desert riding season is all but over. We have already been to 107 in the shade so i think its time to get some videos, a cold drink, and study. Thank you for your videos to teach us to be safer more competant riders.

[@robertm1233]

You always make it look easy Jerry! Hopefully we can learn to ride have as good.

Your videos are excellent and you deliver and demonstrate your tip(s) with efficacy. The value of content is 10/10 and by subscribing, it encourages one to practice and build one's skillset and ride with even greater confidence . Thanks from this viewer for all you do to make us better riders; I look forward to taking your course. 😎👍

[@brumph7256]

I like his videos. Very informative. Yesterday I stopped at a stop sign and my foot planted in loose gravel....needless to say I almost bit it. Anything larger than my shadow 600 would have certainly took me over....I had to give all I had to keep from tipping over.

[@KalFx3]

Keep em coming. Learning to break bad habits

[@MotoDUDEabides]

Dragging the rear brake makes a huge difference as well!

[@scrapbmxrider16]

Absolutely!

[@roadglide]

Love to hear why over 400 naysaying people thumbs down this advice. The demonstration is spot on. The technique absolutely works and the confidence gained from the practice is why it works time and again. Practice is paramount, otherwise it’s a perishable skill set.

[@motorman857]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CloserExamination]

At 3:04 "If you're saying to yourself, I should never have to do this." Actually yes you do! In order to pass an endorsement skills test (at least in Missouri) you have to be able to turn the motorcycle with the handlebars at full lock, and execute a sharp left and right turn. If your foot touches the ground OR the tire hits any of the boundary lines, "Thou shalt fail the skills test." Thank you for the video motorman.

[@OFRLLC13]

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Love it man. Revisiting this video because I'm having a difficult time making the uturns in a parking lot when I'm practicing these last couple days. Last year I was able to do it in 18 feet or two parking spots, now its like I'm rusty since having been off the bike from winter

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

@@motoryzen wow you've come a long way then with recovery, hope you're doing even better now. Yeah practice makes perfect and just do a few minutes of practice before each ride and you'll stay fresh. I've gotta get back on my fitness because my body strength overall is really low since I'm not making time for general exercise, hope to be stronger every day. ✌🙏

Wow, the camera quality is really good and sharp.

[@gctdonyre]

For this kind of turn, looking ahead where you're going is key. This tight of a turn, beginners tend to look down on the front wheel which is the main cause of falling down.

[@experimentx518]

That is an excellent technique that why you are the professional.

Have you ever done one on riding with a person on the back

[@janicemurphy7878]

Hi Jerry, and there was a man on telling that if you have a real heavy bike you just lean forward on it and when you pop back up it goes back. Well he must've not really had a real heavy bike because a real heavy bike doesn't necessarily back up when you push down on the front.awm

[@AndrewTGreen]

Bought two of his videos years ago. Great instruction and great value! Highly Recommend! Best Regards Jerry!!!

[@stevenmcc2119]

How many times have you crashed or laid down a bike so much confidence on what the bike is capable of

[@garynelson9538]

I just ordered his vid today. Can’t wait till in it arrives. Now unfortunately, some riders who are offended by this Man’s bluntness, will become car ornaments or even organ donors because they will miss his message. Me and ol Jerry are on the opposite side of “things” in life, but learning and becoming a better rider is more important. Ride Safe!!

[@martyedmondson8548]

I use the cheap orange disk cones I buy from Walmart in the sporting goods section. Others have complained about them but I’ve never had a problem with them. Enjoy the journey!

[@johnwirk]

The KEY is looking where you want to go and not at the bike. I used to play around with bmx riding and I could never do a 360° until I learned to turn my head just before hopping and eveything else just turns....

[@timtravasos2742]

Impressive turn.

Something I'm sure I would learn in the BRC-2 course (which also gets you an extra discount on your insurance). I might have to purchase those items. Definitely liked and subscribed!

[@nimbly1693]

I have ridden a lot, but not in a long time. I was pretty skittish this time getting back on. I think it has to do with how bad the fork seals on the bike I bought are. I am going to take the Tulsa PD safety course here in a week or so.

[@motorman857]

[@T.K.9]

With the final turn with the full lock. One of the instant feeling you get is the feeling of your bodily organs suddenly feeling light, like you expect to fall or drop the bike lol. Until you get that feeling/ fight or flight response in check. In that case its U Turn or Duck walk response. You still end up pulling the leg out to avoid falling. Imagine leading a joy ride and suddenly do a U turn on a narrow road. Then watch everyone try to U turn, stop mid way and duck walk backwards cause they run out of space. I think slow full lock U turn is really one of the most infamous turns in a biker's life time. Until they master it off!

Can’t recall if he advised it but dragging your rear brake during a u turn helps tightening the curve

Yes, I tell you to put your foot up on the brake...clutch/throttle, rear brake and head and eyes.
