Ladies please. If your husband or boyfriend paddles like a duck at stoplights...please get off the back and walk. Take a bus home or thumb a ride if you have to. But do not get back on the motorcycle until he learns to ride. If he is too cheap to spend $30, or too lazy to practice for a couple of hours, he doesn’t deserve to have you on the back. Jerry has given you a foolproof way to tell that your rider is a doofus.

GET THE VIDEO. It is well worth the asking price. Years back when I was getting into motorcycling as a senior citizen, I found a copy of Ride Like a Pro at a flea market. I had no idea who Jerry was or whether the DVD would be worth the buck I paid for it. I watched it several times before the basic rider course. It was the single best thing I've done for my motorcycling skills. Every piece of instruction was right on the money. I was the best rider in a class of about 15, and it's due to the video.

I got 99% on my "BRC" skills test because of the 90° turn from a stop into a 20ft U I touched on in the middle of my turn. The bike they supplied me was acting like it was running out of fuel spuddering hard when given an even hold of the throttle with clutch released. We even filled it up the bike before the test. It would start jerking in the slow speed maneuvers even in friction zone. I think the teacher thought I was trying to "show off". Idk how cool I would look bucking back and forth in a skills test lmao I passed the test even with that junk. I can only thank you an all the other guys that give us new riders good info !!

I put these videos to practice on the parking lot. As well as a quick warm up run around the neighborhood before each ride. It just amazes me how many riders don't put in even a few minutes to get it under control. My favorite thing to watch is "experienced" riders attempt a u turn...Thanks for all your great videos, I can slow turn like a champ! The videos must be put to task, just watching, doesn't make practice! Practice makes perfect if you understand the technique. A few U turns and a couple figure 8's, really help to get the head in the game for a good, safe ride! Thanks Jerry!

Hello from Sweden. Have seen some of your videos where you explain the friction zone. But what I feel despite a military training in motorcycle riding is that I enter the fear zone when I have to handle a heavy motorcycle at low speed. Still, basic training with an old Java motorcycle was 210 kg to keep low speed in balance. But with age, the neck has become stiff and sore and the balance affected by the injury. But everyone can become a better driver with knowledge and training. Thank you for your great videos and your wife is really impressively good driver.

@De Sign These people in the Sturgis video and well, any and all motorcycle rally's on youtube you see duck walking and dragging their feet, are not new riders. They have many years and miles. What they don't have is technique and skill. My goal is to transform these riders into highly skilled riders. And I've accomplished this with thousands upon thousands of riders. Both in my classes, the 22 schools around the country and via my Ride Like a Pro video's and the 1500 free video's I have here on youtube. And you've done exactly, what? Other than posting stupid comments, of course.

Last time I took a MSF course they were teaching duck walking from a stop. The instructor didn’t like it but had to teach it as part of the curriculum. I did it for the course then went back to riding for real afterwards. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos, and I’ve been riding Harleys since 1984. Haven’t ordered you’re DVD’s yet but they are on my list!

Duck walking for beginners is a good way to teach a person how to use the clutch and throttle and not stall upon take off. But once that's learned, the rider needs to get his/her feet up as soon as the bikes in motion.

Thank you Great Information. I'm 64 years old, have spent the last 38 years raising my 4 kids with my wife. About to be empty nesters. have always wanted to ride but never did. Have my sights on the Harley Heritage classic 114. Will be taking the riding training course here locally and purchasing yours as well within the next couple of months when I get my HD. I'm a full time musician/studio owner/writer/arranger/ and private educator of over 23 years where I teach also for a living privately, so I have enough experience and sense to know to shut up and listen to someone that knows what he's talking about. I've surfed the web looking for good courses, and have settled on yours. Will be picking up bike in about 2 months. Thanks again for your awesome content. Oh yeah I've also subscribed to and liked this video

Yep. They're all over my city in the summer! 90% won't wear a helmet either.. that bandana ain't gonna help much. these people are a big part of why motorcycle fatalities are so high. The sportbike groups are filled with a different type of clown. Meanwhile, highway pulls aside, I can usually outride em on my rebel250. I didn't even buy the rebel until I'd mastered all the low speed stuff on scooters and mopeds. Been two wheel only for three years now. I ride every day, icy roads aside. I guess I'm not a biker til I buy some 800lb behemoth tho.

@@jseden I understand your earplug story but in The Netherlands there has been a test a few years ago with the police and their helmets and after 8 minutes with that helmet with a 100km/h the first hearing problem starts. A lot of them are getting deaf. I got a tinitus from riding without the plugs and A friend of my only road 3 km to the supermarketer with about 50 km/h and has this hummm in his ear for the rest of his life.

@@zenandtwowheels well I spend all day in a loud ass glass shop anyway.. between torches, ventilation, air compressors and other equipment, it can be tough to hold a conversation. Headphones block a decent amount of it but I'm sure it'll take a toll on my hearing in the long although it's still pretty sharp after a decade+ of this. My helmet, shoei qwest really does block quite a bit as long as it's closed. Much more than the icon alliance I was using before. Most of my riding is on a rebel 250 with stock exhaust. It's quieter than most cars. I also have a windshield and I rarely spend more than a few minutes on the highway (usually going 60-70). Aside from that, I'm rarely going much faster than 40 mph, ~60kmph.
