- Hello RUclipsrs! A special hello to my fellow PRELOADERS! For those of you that aren't PRELOADERS yet, hit that subscribe button and become one. This video covers Practice session #13 which included the largest amount of riders to attend one of my practice sessions! I want to apologize for the wait. I had some serious editing issues and with a video this long, everything takes much longer. As frustrating as this process was, I wasn't going to stop until I got it out to my PRELOADERS. So I hope you enjoy it and most importantly, I hope you get something from it that will help you in your quest to be the Boss of your motorcycle!😊👍🏾
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.

Does my heart good to see all these new riders.
I think I’m buying one. I haven’t ridden in decades!!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 ruclips.net/user/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle
I like that triumph! Purdy.
Looks like all your PRELOADERS are leaving much better riders than they were arrival. Excellent.
Indeed!👍🏾
Thanks Robert your channel is very informative 👍 I've been a rider for many years but just learning some new ways to operate a motorcycle 🏍 , blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! ©
Thank you for another informative vedio.. on the exercise in which the left foot goes up first and letting the motorcycle start to fall before applying power to the rear wheel is just for practice on balance and control. I can see new preloaders did not realize it in a previous vedio and do the same on the next exercise in which it wasn't required. Just my two cents. Finally, I'm getting so much better from watching your vedio, but I don't think I can get up to your skill level anytime soon. It's definitely a great challenge to practice slow speed maneuver. Thanks again Robert
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you very much!
Brought my first shirt today! Funny we can buy stuff for our bikes but don’t know how to ride them in slow speed. We need these skills. Im in cold buffalo,ny and can’t wait to practice in warm weather. God bless you bro!
Hey Jason. Thank you for your support!
Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! ©
I fully enjoyed this. I felt like I was with you setting up the range and relaxing before class started. Then meeting some interesting people that are WANTING to learn. That is a great feeling. I love the message and community interaction!
Thank you very much brother!!👍🏾 I wish you were there with me!👍🏾
If you recommend this man he is the real deal.
As a Jamaican to see an organized black motocycle teacher/instructor is a blessing in Yeshua's / Jesus' name.
Bless you both

I like your training shows. I hope to see you at the National Bikers Roundup this year in Georgia. Nice to see my Masonic Brothers out there with you. Travel light Brothers.:
Thank you very much!
Nice to see more and more people are showing up and trying to improve on their slow speed motorcycle operation skills 👍 Wish I was closer and had time to make it out there, Id be the first one with a Victory motorcycle 😁
Indeed. A Victory would be nice to see here. 😊
A time saver I use is on the slow ride. I have them all abreast in a line with me in the middle walking, and tell them to try not to pass me. I start kinda briskly, and keep walking slower and slower. You find out pretty quick who has too little throttle (stalls) or has the clutch out (can't go slow).
I also tell them to practice this when coming to red lights, instead of stopping quickly, which is how I learned.
👍🏾
Hey Robert. So I took a motorcycle class last weekend bc you inspired me to do so. The class was very enlightening. Get this, the next day I went out to an open lot to practice my slow manuevers only to burn my dog gone clutch. I thought that a wet clutch wouldn't get smoked as easily as a car's clutch, when you keep it engaged in slow movements. Goes to show you how much more I need to learn.
Hey Jesus. Sorry about your clutch, but the highlight of you message for me was you were inspired to take a motorcycle class and you went out to practice. That’s great! Keep it up brother!
You'll want to circle the lot every now and then with 3rd gear, clutch engaged, to cool her off a bit.

Another great video! Guys, and gals, these practice exercises are invaluable. I’ve been riding a little over a year. My first bike. Last year I went to my first bike rally in Red River NM. It was very intimidating as I had my bike for about a month. (I successfully completed the MSF training in Durango. Great instructors)Red River is a small rally compared to a lot of others. After that I found Roberts videos and started practicing learning to “trust and believe”. I rode 8 hours to AZ bike week last weekend and having the fundamentals down has given me that confidence one needs when around 10’s of thousands of bikers. Great stuff Robert!

Thanks for the amazing video Robert! I am from India and riding a motorcycle here is much harder than the States. I've been riding for long now and I have learnt so much from your 3hour+ video that I didn't know earlier. Loved your cool and positive attitude to cheer everyone up. Keep it loaded! Cheers! 😄

Wow awesome practice, most people so far, get any bigger you’ll have to break up your class into 2 sessions. Great class as always. Hope to see the Road king out there soon.
Thank you very much! 👍🏾
Mr? Simmons...I dunno if I told you or not, but in teaching the RLAP course, I went around to industrial parks, state parks, and different places that' had large parking lots, asking if they'd mind if we borrowed the lots. Every time, I got a solid NO, because we live in a sue-happy society full of ridiculous judges who support the insanity (remember the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit?).
What I found out when we had set up in a church parking lot one Saturday from the pastor who was jogging around the property was not only were we welcomed, but.even encouraged to come again (just not on Sunday)!
BTW, fatboy wheels on my Heritage made no difference in the wind at all, and I ride in all weather. The downside of them is 26 lbs. apiece, but I have the motor to push them.
Thank you very much for that information Gary!👍🏾
Wow what a great class and what a great instructor! Phenomenal skills and instruction! I have a Honda Valkylrie Interstate and hope to do 18 ft turns someday!
Thank you very much Cameron!👍🏾
Good stuff man... I just watched your traveling down to Florida video meeting up with ride like a pro guy... I will say this... I'm 58 and I've been riding since I was 18... Thought I knew all I needed to know... Just happened to watch ride like a pro before I went down to Tennessee to ride the circuits down there... The tale, moonshiners run, diamondback, blue ridge parkway, and the devil's triangle, and if I hadn't washed that, doing the triangle with three 180° switchbacks uphill, not knowing about the friction zone and keeping power to the rearwheel at all times... I'm sure it would have laid it down with tragic results. Keep doing what you're doing... Old dogs CAN learn new tricks! Later
Thank you very much Doug! Very well said!👍🏾
Excellent practice session, keep up the good work and encouragement.
Thank you very much!
Nice perspective my friend! 🤙I am getting my first road bike Thursday, can't wait to start practicing! (I'm gonna preload) and keep it loaded 😁
That’s right brother! Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! Congratulations on the new bike!👍🏾
Robert, do you do lessons down here in Jacksonville Fla? Today I joined VIProaders, and am very proud of it. Thank you for what you are doing for us all.
Thank you very much for supporting me! I appreciate it. Yes I could do Private Lessons in Jacksonville.
What a great guy.
Thank you very much!

Hey Robert new Preloader here.! When you said you rode for NYPD I thought I’d take my 93 police bike down form MASS to get some reps in but upon reading your description I see your in GA. Hey maybe some day I’ll make a trip of it. Keep up the great work
Hey Joe. Yeah brother hopefully we will hook up some time in the near future. I’m glad you read the description section. 👍🏾😊

Going to watch this whole thing. I can’t make right right turns. I am trying to hold clutch and to it’s just so far. Do you hold clutch on slow maneuverable?
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 ruclips.net/user/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle
I’m sorry I don’t understand your question.
I've watched and loved every video you've put out and will continue to do so. But in my opinion, I feel the session members should be limited to at most 10. This session seemed a bit out of control and as a viewer, some of those guys were getting away with things you normally would have called them out on immediately. But all that matters is everyone had the best of intentions and I'm sure a lot were just psyched to be there. Respect from Boston, MA sir.
Thanks Jason! I appreciate your feedback. I was thinking the same thing as far as the limit I will allow. We will see...👍🏾
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle we
i could make those manuevers on my sport bike pretty easy but on my goldwing not so much.
You just need to practice brother. The techniques are the same on both bikes.
Good job
Thanks Mike!
Good job bro. Does this exercises also apply for other bikes? I just subscribe. Ride safe brother.
Thank you very much! Everything here applies to ALL motorcycles. 👍🏾
Great video. Can you recommend a similar class in the Central New York area?
Thank you. Sorry I don’t know of any.
Hei Robert :) This is the first time visiting your channel. It just came up as a suggestion. Oh man, I'm impressed. I really like your reasons for making this channel, and the way you greet everyone joining you, shows me that you have a lot of respect for your fellow men (wo-man also;) I would really like to attend your course to be a better driver, but I live in Norway, so distance is an issue. By the way, I just wanted to give a feedback to you, so you can see that making the effort is of great effect. I wish you a happy day Robert. Best regards, Roy Viksand Eriksen

I always wonder what visibility is like from a batwing on these short maneuvers?
What do you mean? The visibility is the same as any other bike because your head and eyes should be looking at the horizon, which is well above any fairing. 👍🏾
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I was wondering in relation to an RK for example, and if the visibility is different. Thank you!
@@jordipi7652 if you’re looking down, yes the visibility is different.

It's always good to take as many practice courses as you can. Good for you for doing it!
The irony is, it takes a cop to make good bank robbers 💰 & responsible fathers, looking good doing it 🤔👌
All the bikes look awesome but one bike, gee, that's a beautiful toy! Even the coach wants it 😁
if this happens on the philippines for slow speed test required for (Angkas and Joyride Hailing App), it will only be bashed due to it is worthless as in low speed you need to put down your feet for balance.
Excellent video

🤣 It’s my pleasure. 😊
I like that you might not be the CEO of your motorcycle. But, my question is what’s the tightest U-turn you made. that will be my goal
16’ but that depends on the motorcycle as well.
Hello Robert, I was just watching a Motorman video and he kept stating preload and rear brake was a crutch for riding correctly. So who is correct? Thanks for all you do 😊.
Actually what he said was “preloading the rear brake is a crutch”. Disregard that and the negative undertones of it.
Some of these guys shouldn't have a full dresser yet. I ride a 2009 Electra Glide ex- police bike, I took the hard saddle bags off. I like how you are teaching them to keep it preloaded and use the clutch.
Thank you very much!
Watching your videos see alot of guys putting that right foot down,I have a solution. I ride a gl1800 goldwing I'm 5 foot 3 inches I cant put both down I'm to short lol
🤣
Just seeing this video and wanting to set up a similar training for my CMA chapter. You mentioned that every participant had to complete some sort of liability release. Is there a specific form that you use or did you create one, and does it have to be notarized to be legitimate? Thank you!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 There are Hold Harmless Agreement Forms on line. You can adjust the wording to suite your needs. No it doesn’t need to be notarized.
Robert they would have been a lot of injured and did pedestrians I can't believe those guys been driving 20-30 years and can't do the course no better than that. When I'm riding I make it a point to come to a stop and see how long I can keep the bike there before I have to put my foot down Plus preloading at the same time.
That's very good. However, I commend them because there are a lot of riders that have been riding that long and they lack these skills, yet they aren't willing to try to get better.👍🏾
Let me type this up before I go to sleep and be out cold cause I took about 4 shots of NyQuil just now lol and it's 4:27 in the morning lol when I finish the video but within the 3 hours of your video I learned a lot most of it was the same for manual truck cause I have to teach myself how to drive one and I had to concept of it all but I just needed to put it in full motion and driving a manual truck which I did about 2 to 3 mouths ago I got a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 single cab and I took my knowledge that I had by looking at people and see how it's done and watching RUclips videos and now I want to get my first motorcycle and I want to get a street glider and just like with the knowledge I have about the truck I have about a motorcycle but I just need a little bit more knowledge so I can put it all in motion and this video helped me with that one piece of knowledge that I needed and yes I haven't seen your others videos about riding a motorcycle but this had all of the other videos in it well to me it did at least lol but I would like to join one of your sessions one but I'm all the down here in Texas and it's going to be a trip from here to you but your video did help me a lot thank you so much
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! I’ve noticed a lot of truck drivers have a better understanding of riding a motorcycle as it pertains to the transmission. I know you’re all the way in Texas, but so far I’ve had two Preloaders come practice with me from there. One rode his motorcycle straight here and the other trailered it. I’m just saying…😂👍🏾
1:28:00 let me start by saying im not talking shit about the guy, i just think its important to recognize how easy it is for anyone to dump a bike like this by accident. makes me appreciate this video just that much more because its important to learn how to handle a bike even at low speed (the speed no one thinks about) this was an amazing video, and i hope to learn as much as possible from the content. keep it up! 👍👍👍
Robert Simmons don't be intimidated by those fat boy solid wheels ... A good hard gust of wind from the side can blow you over whether you got spokes or not... It was about 1982 and Sturgis bike week was over and we were traveling East on the interstate and the wind was blowing from the south so hard our bikes were leaned into the wind about 45° angle going straight down the road... And then we would come up on an interstate overpass and guess what there's no wind blowing there and you're already leaned over to 45° angle to the right and you're off the road instantly before you can correct and as soon as you come out of that overpass which only last for about a second and a half if you just and you get straightened up a little bit it wants to blow you over to the left I mean it was it was scary and after the first couple ones we survived that and there's like I don't know how many more before we get back to Indiana but it was just total hell.... And you didn't want to go very fast you want to keep your bike and steady as possible so you can maneuver this wind deal from the south and so you're in the slow lane on the interstate and then when you come out of one of those overpasses it blows you over into the fast lane into the car is trying to pass you I mean it was it was dangerous as hell there was nothing else we can do was out there in the middle of prairie it wasn't wasn't any Town inside for miles and miles and we just had to stay with it
Wow that does sound scary! I’m glad you made it through buddy. 👍🏾
That was awesome (did that sound American?). I wonder if the uk police motorcyclists have anything like this for us brits.
Thank you very much! 👍🏾 I wonder...🤔

Fun fact at 1:04:11 in the background on the right side , Theres a guy on a bike that fall . Great vid btw
Thank you. 😊👍🏾
Robert, my issue is stopping. As I’m slowing, I start applying rear brake. Then, as I’m coming to a complete stop, the bike rolls to the right. So I end up removing my foot from the brake and flop around until I hit the front brake. How do I make all stops roll to the left?
Gently (barely) push on the left handlebar just before you come to a complete stop.
Hey Troy. Yeah what L N said. Also, just keep working on it. All of us have balance issues every now and then. But your motorcycle shouldn’t be rolling to the right every time your coming to a stop.
Great job, sir. I want to ask the obvious question how much does it cost to take your course?

Is that the neighbor that hit you in front of his own house? I apologize for not hearing you say that you pulled over. Funny cause I saw that first ride to me exercise. Oh man he skidded those tires!
I can neither confirm nor deny that. 😄🫢😇
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle haha 😂 I see you 🤭 Take care man☀️ I’m going through your older videos at night while I crochet ttyl
to much talk,honestly I don't learn anything on your explanation,..
Keep watching. You will definitely learn something.
Awesome channel! Anyway, can you comment on the phrase, "keep it loaded?" I mean, I think I get it, maintain a constant "load" (pressure, wrist, twist, GAS) on the throttle. Is that level maintained sub 15 mph and then the work is largely in the degree of clutch, head and eyes?
I am a new again rider after 30+ years and Its been this "keep it loaded" concept I think I've been missing. I've been trying to work the hands together and a more elaborate dance than this "keep it loaded" idea would suggest. No?
Thanks Joe. Check the description section. 👍🏾
It's about "the take-off". Keep a steady gas while letting out the clutch (from the friction zone) for a smoother controlled take-off from a stop.
Under ideal circumstances it would continue up to the next shift point.
That 1st guy he introduced, seemed like he had an attitude problem!
He didn’t.
I not there but I keep doing push-ups for all the guys who use their front brakes. 😅😅 prelooooaaaddd!!
😂👍🏾 Awesome. Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!

Just found your channel. I’m curious to know if knew or know of a motor officer by the name of Sgt. George Carillion, retired NYPD in the 80s.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 No that was way before my time.
I figured it might be but thank you for replying. I met George in Ohio in the 80s. He had a lot of great pics of the motorcycle units. I’m not a motorcycle guy, but watching George on a motorcycle doing maneuvers in a parking lot was pure poetry. He also would teach guys how to ride safely. George informed me that he was the guy that invented the V formation that departments use. I also met another retired highway patrol officer named Tony Augello. Tony didn’t do motorcycles. I’m a retired PO from Ohio. I met these guys working private retail security on the side. Good guys!
@@georgiabuckeye8819 Thank you for your service! Now I have heard of Tony.
Wow is all I got for this one. Exceeds all of my expectations , somehow. These videos never feel redundant and I have watched every one! How is that even possible? Thanks for another amazing Robert Simmons epic practice session video.
Thank you very much! 😊👍🏾
Nice, nice good group of riders, excellent instructions from our boss preloader, thank you Robert.
@@jamescruz7460 thanks brother! It’s my pleasure. 😊
I fell upon this video. I bought a 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom 3 weeks ago. I've only had 2 weekends for practice as of today (3 / 28 / 21 ). I've put 30 miles on my new bike and all of it was practice riding with Turn From Stop, Weaving, Throttle / Clutch control and Stopping. It seems that U-Turns just come natural for me since I'm not afraid to lean the bike. Anyway, watching your video was helpful for me. You explained the Turn from Stop very well and I'll be practicing that next weekend weather permitting. My Beginner Rider Course is in the first week of May ' 20. Thanks to you, I now have even more interest in getting better skills. This is the very best Video I have seen on the subject. Thank you SO much. :-)
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! Keep it up and I’m sure you won’t have any issues at all with you BRC. 👍🏾
Man bro I see the class is getting big I wanna come practice with yall one day
Make it happen brother! God willing, I’ll be here!👍🏾
Anyone else notice the kid in the background wreck their bike?
I think you’re the second person to say that. I didn’t see it.
