The. Biggest takeaway from this video is to understand that Jerry Palladino, who is one of the BEST Motorcycle riders on earth, STILL goes for additional instruction. So how can someone think they know "enough"?
Well said. As a teacher this mindset makes total sense to me as we are encouraged to be lifelong learners. I look at my riding hobby the same way. Always keep learning
@@whdbnrm3023 You can call it a promo video of course, but I get zero money from Champ School. I simply wanted to let people know about this course and it's availability to riders of all levels and on all types of motorcycles. I had never heard of this school despite being in the business for 25 years. The only way I heard about it was when Harley invited me to a new model intro in Arizona and gave us a couple of hours on the track with instructions by the Wyman brothers. I of course knew of track days across the country, but this isn't a school that teaches how to race, as Kyle Wyman said, this is a school that teaches how to ride safely at high speeds whether on the street or a track. I put a link below the video so anyone interested, can contact them and decide which course is best for them and what the cost is for what they offer. Here's the link again www.ridelikeachampion.com Sorry if the video somehow offended you.
The lesson here is that you should never stop learning. Seeing one of the best motorcycling instructors like Jerry taking in a motorcycle riding course is revealing and a good lesson to those who think they know it all.
OMG! Jerry! This video is incredible! It's going to help reach an audience that I never could - like, my dad!! I'm sure you don't mind, but I'm going to be sharing this on all my socials! Just awesome! Well done!!
That's fantastic! Motorman himself sets an example for everyone, that no matter how much experience you have, there are always more things to learn. Full interview, please, and more reviews of your experience on this course and the techniques you have learned more about.
Great example of of a teacher keeping up with more training to be able to train and protect others to be safe and not be afraid to to reach out for knowledge on what we are trying to do on the road !! Thanks!! Please excuse the punctuation or lack there of!! THANKS !!
you never know when a rider might share an experience that is a pure nugget of knowledge, so yes if you post it I would be glad to watch! Thanks Motorman!!
Great video. I did the online school, that I definitely recommend at the very least to EVERY rider to get familiar with the course. I want to take the track course as well. Thanks Jerry for sharing and I would like to see the entire version. JP
I’ve been riding 50+ years…and while I’m still lousy at it, I learn more every day. I’ll make sure my son takes these classes (yours and track schools) before he gets his license.
I'm glad for this information. I started riding my Harley quite a bit faster a year ago. I found that it grips the road very well & if I am paying attention as I should the bike tells me if I am riding past my skill level. It is making me a better rider. Combined with Jerry's techniques I just feel better when I go for a ride. Thanks guys!
2023 Ride like a pro video of the year!!! ……. Until you release the entire interview!! Really enjoyed you taking this to the next level of training for us all!
Hi Jerry, watch your videos all the time, have purchased 4 of your videos and love them all. Great learning from you and your experience. I live up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and at 69 years old have been riding over 38 years and will keep riding as long as I can, it’s in our blood. Would love to see the entire video. Thanks again and if you are ever giving lessons closer to Canada, New York for example, would just love to meet you and take some courses with you. Thanks again,,. Ride safe and take care
When you first mentioned going to racing school, I thought you were nuts. Now I see I was. Wish there was classes like yours, and his, around here in central coast of CA. You'd think with as many MC rides that we have, we would have rider schools, beyond MSF. Keep ridin' Jerry.
the most important lesson here is that an experienced [ and senior ] jerry is not afraid to admit that there is always more to learn , so this means that he can be trusted and does not talk a load of bull ;;;
I saw Kyle racing at the New Jersey Motorsports Park and it is amazing how well they run a bagger. A 2 1/2 mile road course and they are only 1 1/2 seconds off the sports bike lap times. Go see a "King of the Baggers" race and you'll be amazed.
I've been wanting to do that school myself. I've done several slow speed skills courses as a police officer like Jerry. I have always wondered if that school dealt mainly with sport bikes. Now I know and it definitely is something I'm going to plan to do in the near future. Thanks for doing that Jerry.
I was in southwest Missouri Labor Day '20 and route 43 up there going into Arkansas ana Oklahoma had a ton of tight turns and plenty of trees to block the view. Very easy to ride off the road especially when unfamiliar with the area. I was on vacation and that place is about 700 miles from New Orleans.
@@mixc8 The instructor in the video at 4:40, stated riders are wrecking because they are not controlling their speed. Speed limits are posted for a reason. In curves I always run the speed limit OR SLOWER if I'm unfamiliar with the curve and its a blind curve. Too many riders get to the twisties and want to ride like idiots riding well beyond the speed limits on roads they have no knowledge of. The Tail of The Dragon takes out lots of people because of such stupidity. I have yet to come across a curve that was a problem as long as you are riding the posted speed limit.
As much of this as possible please. By following your slow speed education I’ve become a MUCH better rider. Let’s see as much of the high speed instruction as possible.
Just at the intro & I'll go ahead & say YES! I'd love to see that interview. The only reason a person has for stopping learning & growing in this life is death. And that should only move the venue to the next plane of existence.
Well its unanimous, we all want more knowledge and skills. I may not have the same rider suit, but do have great visibility in the exact same F70 helmet ridin the Valkyrie Deluxe. Thanks again.
I would like to see a video (or more than 1) on how a rider should negotiate intersections. I am seeing newer types like 2 right turn lanes where driver on right can turn on red. These are quite dangerous as the lane one turner is blocking the view of the person going in the far right lane. Thanks for all the sharing you do.
A lot of motorcycle enthusiasts are just slow and easy riders and they have a lot of fun doing it. Weekend riders and touring riders log more miles than anyone myself included. This rodeo riding is not what most riders do even tho anyone can learn a thing or two from anyone. Time on the street is the best teacher in my 20 years of riding and not override your ability.
Of course you can enjoy riding slow and easy. However, ''time on the street'' is not the best teacher. Most riders that come to me have between 10 to 30 years of riding on the street. But their ability to lean, turn, and swerve, and their braking ability to stop quickly, (accident avoidance)is non existent. That's because cruising down the road nice and easy, rounding a curve, slow and easy, and coming to an easy stop, takes no skill at all. You should be able to do that within a week of riding. To avoid a crash, takes proper technique. If you've never practiced leaning, turning, swerving, then braking hard, when the car turns left in front of you, or when a tree branch blocks the road as you come around a blind curve, and you've never trained for that situation, you're in big trouble. In those conditions, you revert to your training. If you have never trained, you'll rely on dumb luck. which would you rather rely on? Dumb luck, or skill?
Yes. We are licensed at an incompetent level. BUT, though Germany (and many European countries) has a rider jumping thru a bunch of hoops and a great expense to get their motorcycle license, over the years I've had many Europeans come to the U.S., rent a touring H.D. and come to my class. Their skills are just as lacking as U.S. riders. How is that possible with all the training they were mandated to take? My theory is they never used an 8 or 900 LB bike in any of their training. So you past the last test on a 650cc bike that weighs 500 LB's, then you never practice what you learned and you revert right back to your instincts and your instincts are wrong. These are perishable skills. Don't use them, and you lose them. So unless you are forced to pass a test every 6 months, they are wasting your time and money.
@@motorman857 thank you! I’m guilty as well of using a 125cc test to get a license for a 750cc machine which I promptly rode into a ditch. Hard lesson. 👍🏽
The. Biggest takeaway from this video is to understand that Jerry Palladino, who is one of the BEST Motorcycle riders on earth, STILL goes for additional instruction. So how can someone think they know "enough"?
Exactly
Totally agree!!

Great job taking the class Jerry and yes! Bring on the interview footage. YCRS is definitely on my list
Great video. I did the online school, that I definitely recommend at the very least to EVERY rider to get familiar with the course. I want to take the track course as well. Thanks Jerry for sharing and I would like to see the entire version. JP
Champ School is incredible. Every street rider should take it if they're able.
Jerry that was an amazing glimpse of what is possible thank you
I’ve been riding 50+ years…and while I’m still lousy at it, I learn more every day. I’ll make sure my son takes these classes (yours and track schools) before he gets his license.

For sure! Great job. Thank you both for sharing.
Thank you for that shining example Motorman. 👏👏
2023 Ride like a pro video of the year!!! ……. Until you release the entire interview!! Really enjoyed you taking this to the next level of training for us all!
Jerry, you are a very lucky man to be trained by the best. Great video
I've always secretly wondered what it would be like to take the VTX to the track. YES to the whole talk!
Hi Jerry, watch your videos all the time, have purchased 4 of your videos and love them all. Great learning from you and your experience.

Wow, What an amazing video!!! Thank you Jerry & Kyle.
Powerful commentary, and this information and approach are a credit to Jerry and Champ school, both. Extremely cool and humble dudes.
Please post the entire interview. Loved what I've seen so far.
I think this is the best Ride Like a Pro video yet.
Jerry, I get all your posts; look forward to learning something every time. Please drop the whole video!
Here ya go ruclips.net/video/rnN8Dco30eI/видео.html
Yes I would like to see the complete interview
This was really good. Thanks for sharing and showing everyone there is always more to learn.
I would love to see the entire interview. Hearing two different perspectives on safe riding was very helpful
Full interview, please! This is great stuff. Thought provoking, mental conditioning.
Hi Jerry, stunning and very informative video as always. Yes please I'd love to see the complete discussion. Thanks for all your teachings.
Great video, it defines you Jerry taking this masterclass and commenting in such a humble way, Really looking forward to the complete video.
Much appreciated!
Fantastic video. All of us should never stop trying to be a better rider.
Yes, would love to see the full interview.
Motorman class and Champ School are the two riding schools I would love to attend
When you first mentioned going to racing school, I thought you were nuts. Now I see I was. Wish there was classes like yours, and his, around here in central coast of CA. You'd think with as many MC rides that we have, we would have rider schools, beyond MSF. Keep ridin' Jerry.
Yes, I would like the full interview.
watching this video was MOST exciting. I just wished their were more places around that offered courses like this ... Your NEVER too OLD to learn...
Just google track days in the U.S. and find one that does novice training. There are many around the country during the summer.
Great vid!! Kyle’s my hometown rider-Harv’s Harley Davidson in NY
Thanks for another great and informative video Jerry!
the most important lesson here is that an experienced [ and senior ] jerry is not afraid to admit that there is always more to learn , so this means that he can be trusted and does not talk a load of bull ;;;
I've had to learn the hard way, at 66 those hard ways are catching up but still riding, 2018 FLTRU. Still learning everyday
When the best can learn from the best, us regularly guys have much to learn
I would love to go to Champ School. Great safe place is a track to practice all these skills.
That was great Jerry let’s see the whole interview.
Thanks for your videos and knowledge and yes would love to see the entire video
Excellent video, would like to see the entire conversation. Such great information.
Awesome info as always, keep it coming!
If a conversation can save a life...I say go for it
That was awesome Jerry! More please!
Yes - please show the Kyle Wyman interview!
Yes, I want to see more!
I saw Kyle racing at the New Jersey Motorsports Park and it is amazing how well they run a bagger. A 2 1/2 mile road course and they are only 1 1/2 seconds off the sports bike lap times. Go see a "King of the Baggers" race and you'll be amazed.

You might try having your agency contact Champ School to get the class for the entire squad.
@@motorman857 Thanks, that's an idea.
Great video Jerry thanks!
Jerry, Show us the whole conversation. Thanks for sharing.
Whole interview. Thanks
That was pretty cool Jerry - Thanks
Helo from Mexico!! Your best video Mr. Paladino!!! I love IT!!! I am your fan un Mexico my name sí José Luis
Highly polished golden apples on a silver tray words just clearly & beautifully expressed by two amazing instructers..

Very easy to ride off the road especially when unfamiliar with the area. I was on vacation and that place is about 700 miles from New Orleans.
Just curious how did you handle the tight turns, did you slow down going into the turns?

Learning is (or should be) a never-ending process no matter what the subject is.
As much of this as possible please. By following your slow speed education I’ve become a MUCH better rider. Let’s see as much of the high speed instruction as possible.
Your videos are always so relevant; this one was a bit hard to watch, all of those crashes. Always keep training! Thnx Motorman
great video and pls put up the full interview next week
Jerry, didn’t know you are a guitar player too. When I come over to take your class a second time I am bringing my guitar!
I’m interested to watch the entire interview!
Great video, I also would like to see the entire interview.
When you think you know how to ride you had better quit. Been doing this since 1972 and still don’t have it figured out. Ride safe
You never stop learning and you're never done sharpening your riding skills. The moment you think you are, you need to stop riding.
Wow that looks like a great school!
I tell you what…
A CHP officer can take most on 600-1K sport bikes.
Horse power sells bikes, torque makes placement, and the riders determine the win.
Just at the intro & I'll go ahead & say YES! I'd love to see that interview. The only reason a person has for stopping learning & growing in this life is death. And that should only move the venue to the next plane of existence.
Well its unanimous, we all want more knowledge and skills. I may not have the same rider suit, but do have great visibility in the exact same F70 helmet ridin the Valkyrie Deluxe. Thanks again.

What we should learn is everyday is a school day and never stop perfecting our techniques 🤔🤓🏍️🏍️
What about the riders that never learn proper technique? What are they supposed to practice every day?
@@countryjoe3551, guess they'd better practice not riding faster than their guardian angel can fly. 🤔💖
More, please.
Great Vlog!
Nice Work👊🇺🇸👊
I just got a royal star tour deluxe,,,big bike,,,it was given to me,, never rode big bikes,,, need all the help I can get

Consider the lack of required training in the USA versus mandating it like Germany does for example. We are licensed at an incompetent level.

Go to www.ridelikeachampion.com for their courses and locations.
great vid
For that guy who thinks he knows everything about riding. Even the motorman is learning new skills
Let’s see the comments/conversation with Kyle Wyman..
