- 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.

Thank you Officer Robert for your quality help to us bikers out there, I'am 67 and self taught...years ago when I started riding at 16 there was no internet or people like you to help us, I had to re-learn what I thought was right but is not, I had to stop grabbing my front brakes at every stop ! Watching your video's has helped me immensely, Thanks again
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 ruclips.net/user/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you!

My brother. You are epic in your skills. I was getting a good smile out of watching you own that bike. Every rider sholud try and become as talented in riding slow speed as you are. God is Good. You are so blessed to have a wife who feels love for her man with passion and support above all others . Only second to God. Thanks for the time you take to give life saving abilities to so many

Watched for around fifteen minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Robert very much reminded me of the Louisville Lip as his talking skills are exceptional. Clearly a lovely chap. Didn't learn anything about motorsickle riding but hey ho....had a double breakfast whilst I waited for knowledge, enjoyed the sun pouring in, and I started the day smiling. Thank's from the U.K. Robert. Keep riding like a butterfly.
Thank you very much!

Sweet husband, I am super excited about this video. The time and effort you put into this practice and the video was monumental! Great job as always.💋
You work hard on the channel too. We really, really appreciate both of you.
@@jgrc73 that is so sweet. Thanks for your kindness!🤗
@@jgrc73 I second that! :)
Behind every great man there's a great woman.
Thank you so much sweetheart!! And thank you for being so patient this past week. Editing this video took a lot of time and patience from me and as always, there you were to comfort me. 😘
I’m learning on a Harley Street 500 in Sydney Australia and have your voice in my head as I practice: “Preload”! Thanks for your videos 👍

Looks like all your PRELOADERS are leaving much better riders than they were arrival. Excellent.
Indeed!👍🏾
ive driven sport bikes for years on the street and on track and have developed bad habits, must relearn to properly - and effectively control the bike without speed. This man is a blessing for this training. MSF does not train like this...

Word is out on how good your Free class is so your classes are get bigger and soon you're going to need to find someone (with your skills) to help out and that's a good thing.. happy for you
Thank you! 😊
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
@@oariv Thank you very much!
Son of a gun. The RUclips algorithms are reading my thoughts. Thanks for sharing. I’m totally new rider. Dropped my BMW F800 GSA Twice. It happened when least expected at a stop. That put the anxiety into me.
I won’t even mention what women can do to impact your thoughts.
You hit the nail on the head. However any emotion can be unsafe. Like being super excited because you have that feeling to go have fun.
Yesterday, I helped the maintenance guy at my condo building. He said that sweeping a broom is the most difficult exercise. He was right.
So now I sweep as long as it takes to clear my thoughts. It involves inspecting my bike. My gear. Organizing. Because you need to program the muscle memory to know what to do in any situation.
I can’t speak for other riders. If I’m not 100 % in the zone then I have to do something.
The human brain is the most important component of your machine. Develop the love relationship. It will love you back 10 fold.
Only speaking for myself, ride your own ride.

It's always good to take as many practice courses as you can. Good for you for doing it!
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. :-)

Great analogy. I may not be the CEO of the Rodeo but I’m upper middle management. I can hire and fire that bike all day!! Lol
👍🏾😄
My hometown (Columbia) is well represented. Beautiful bikes! I will be watching the skills especially after Exercise 2. :-)
👍🏾😊
I was on a motorcycle course a little more than45 years ago and your information rocks. Great job! We did have a guy show up on the third morning. We had been doing circles, serpentine, cones for the first two days but on the third day we hit the road. There were about 12 of us following a leader (car) and he got to a stop sign on a gravel road. The late arrival locked up his front wheel and dumped the bike. Have you ever seen a person grab the handle bars of a Harley and jerk it upright from laying on it's side with the front wheel coming 12 inches off the ground? We called him sir after that. The information contained in this video is excellent!
Thank you very much Bob!👍🏾
Great service you're giving to the Cycle community brother 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Big Thumbs up !!!!!!
Thank you very much brother!!👍🏾
Thanks Robert, I will be getting my 1st motorcycle in 4 months maybe 3. Thank you for this instruction I’ll be getting the HD Road King. I’m a former military policeman but I’ve never ridden before. I’ve been studying with Jerry Motorman Paladino and now you. That’s bro.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Also, thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service! I too am a veteran.
I like that triumph! Purdy.
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. 😊

2:51:52 kickstand down. Another awesome awesome video!!!
Thank you very much!
Robert,
I came your video by luck, my Daughter who is a Novice to riding street asked me what she was doing wrong in making slow turns. This is when I found your videos. Thinking she may get something from someone else than just me and it may stick with her and answer her questions.
I must say I sat right there and watch every minute of it with her and I picked up several things.
I thank you for your great videos and I will be looking forward to watching Moreno them.
Keep up the great work.

Thank you sir.
Your videos are amazing, techniques on riding you teach are the real deal, I have been practicing the preloaded stops, I always felt out of control when stopping, preloaded stopping is amazing!!

20 years after i sold my BMW i bought a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited. So the next question was how am i going to ride this monster….. waiting for my license plates i followed Roberts lessons on line…. And believe it or not….today i drove for the first time my 415kg bike and everything what Robert said worked…. Curves, slow turns, using only the rear break, balance between throttle and clutch etc…. I am so happy and my first ride was without stress and just enjoying the ride…Thank you Robert you are the best…. Greetings from Belgium.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 This is fantastic news! 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!

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!

Hey Mr Simmons!!!!
IT WORKS ON BMW’s TOO... in case someone wanted to know.
Just completed a practice session this evening. Wow!!!! Confidence builder. Leaning is next.......maybe. Had a great time trying the slow ride. Cover rear brake, PRELOAD!! Sweet Spot Clutch. I noticed that at traffic lights it works really well. All I had to do was ease off rear brake and away I go.
That’s excellent Greg!! Keep it up!👍🏾 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!
Mr Simmons I am so happy that I stumbled across your video, I learned that I need to change the way I ride almost completely. I had an accident about a week ago on my brand new Ultra am I am crushed (after watching that fat boy, I wish I kept my Road King). I understand many things I did wrong after watching this video! "Pre-Load" & keeping foot on rear brake, well I will not forget this. My left turns (that's what got me), U-turns, figure 8 (4get about it) are weak at best. But I will start practicing more. I thank you for making me aware. Wish you were still up North. KEEP UP THE GR8 WORK OF PAYING IT FORWARD SIR...!
Thank you very much! I’m happy you stumbled across my video as well and hopefully you’re subscribed. I’m super happy that you will be practicing and I’m glad you’re ok. The most important thing is you know what you did wrong. 👍🏾 Please keep me apprised of your progress with your practice sessions.
loved every part on this video, please stay amazing!
Salute from the UK

I want to drive to the ATL and take this class. I'm in Birmingham so not to bad of a drive. I've learned alot watching your videos. I'm a new rider been riding bout 2yrs now. I've been practicing a lot with slow speed maneuvering. I finally have gotten off that front brake and mainly on the rear brake now thanks to you. And my control is so much better because of it. Thanks for the great info and videos bro.
I’m glad to hear that! Also I’m not in Atlanta, I’m in Pooler. Hopefully that’s a little closer for you.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle how would I sign up?
@@bigsimpd Check the description section of any of my videos for information on practice sessions. 👍🏾
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle ok thanks and I checked you’re 5hrs from me.

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!

I'm back after 20 years off the saddle. I realized I never was a super good rider so I started looking for some of these guys that put this stuff out on RUclips. I'm taking what I see in these videos to a parking lot a few times a week, making me a much better rider. Taking a course later this summer also. Robert, thank you for all you do man...great stuff!! Subbed & liked of course!

I agree that it is best not to split up riders by skill. The proof is right here in this video. The guy with one month experience did better than many with much more "stated" experience. Thanks again.
Exactly! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Great thing your doing Sir. Thank you for making better riders on the road.

@@robandangie7775 that’s awesome! I’m glad you like it! Thanks for the support!
I'm ALL about the low speed skills and practice every chance I get. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else that rides, so I end up practicing alone. I loved the group setting I found in the MSF course, so if you ever make your way up to the Northern Virginia/DC area, you'll 100% be seeing my face there!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and this video.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I understand how you feel first hand. That’s literally how all of this started. I made a video asking anyone that was interested, to come out and practice with me and look where we are now. It’s always more fun to practice with others. 😊👍🏾

Thank you very much!
I watched your video and really liked it. I am a long ways from you or i would come to your course and become a better rider. But I can practice your what you are teaching here. Thank you for helping others, I am sure you have saved lives you don't even know about. Keep it up sir.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 Also, thank you for the compliment! It’s my pleasure. 😊
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!
Fantastic information for the people once again. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
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! 👍👍👍
Another excellent video brother. We had a session this past Wednesday and have another tomorrow. I will try to capture it and have it out next week. Most guys here are afraid to be on YT (the are embarrass). But at the end of the session they all get it.
Great job Robert. Love it.
Hey Rich. Thanks a lot! I would love to see one of your sessions! I didn’t know you had regular practice sessions. Good for you and the Mrs.!
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Just got back from a ride, Our session had to be canceled because they are using the lot for covid vaccines. We had just laid down the cones and were waiting for the riders to arrive when we were informed that we can't use it until covid is over. Hopefully we can find another location soon. Oh and we don't have regular scheduled practice sessions, I only schedule them once month for our group. Otherwise Kake and I have one on one private sessions upon request.
@@BootsandJeansRiders very nice brother! Well I’m looking forward to it when it comes out. Keep doing what you guys are doing. 👍🏾
First, thanks for your service, keeping us safe.
And thanks for the videos, learning a lot.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
I see this group is having a heck of a time pre-loading and keeping it there before taking off. Also not turning head and eyes where they want that bike to go. Practice makes perfect.
Practice makes better! Never perfect. 👍🏾😊

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!👍🏾
Great coaching. Pretty awesome to see the skill acquisition
Thank you very much! Yes that’s definitely one of the things that motivates me to keep doing this.

You did a great job on the video. I know the headache you had putting it together. But in the end I think it was worth it, Great job!! All of my guys that came down from Columbia SC had a great time as always. I think everyone rode away with stronger skills. They are already talking about the return trip. As for me.... Brother thank you for all you do. I will see you soon. Much respect from Kenn With 2 "NN's"
Thanks Ken. Always a pleasure! And you’re correct, it was worth it. 👍🏾

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.

Excellent practice session, keep up the good work and encouragement.
Thank you very much!
Proud of you Rob G.E.T. TEAM VIBES
Awww yeah! Thanks brother. That means a lot!👍🏾
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! 👍🏾
Hey Robert, attended & enjoyed this session. Have been practicing a few hrs/wk. The only thing I've adjusted is doing the U turn from a dead stop- as opposed from rolling. Gives me more of a real life practice when doing u turns on multi lanes roads (generally trying to get gas). Keep up the good work
I'm very happy to read this! You won't believe this... I'm actually planning on introducing that to exercise #6. That's really good that you're doing that because most would find that more difficult. I'm sure you know why.👍🏾
Great job again, Robert. Your preloaded guys are getting much better.
Thank you very much! Yes they are!
These videos are awesome man... I wish you were in the 🇬🇧 UK 🇬🇧
Thank you very much!
Robert, just wanted to say that after having a few years off from riding, this video helped me with refreshing my memory. Thank you and happy new year.

One key element of your slow speed tight turn maneuvering that other YT ride instruction content providers almost completely neglect is USING THE CLUTCH AND KEEPING THE ENGINE REVS UP into a usable range for cornering. The same goes for twistie road riding at speed. A good practice is to end your run in first gear unless you're going to back into a parking space, etc.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 Also thanks for your input.
The way you teach is awesome
Thanks Cliff!
I love to see this video because skin of color does no matter regardless what bike you ride 👌😎✌️

Thank you.
Thank you very much Dave!👍🏾
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!👍🏾
that was great Robert very good video and a awesome instructor you have a great way of getting the point across with out embarrassing the rider that is great I wasn't riding a bike setting in the lazy boy I live in Canada it will be a couple months before I get my bikes out put I learned a lot from watching thank you and thanks for your service great channel take care and ride safe
Thank you very much Tom!
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.
👍🏾
Love this video, very informative indeed! Thank you for taking the time to post . . .
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Enjoyed I hope one day I can pay it forward 👍👍👍👍🍺😎
Thank you.
Exercise 3 "trust and believe" made a huge difference in low speed confidence for me. It can demonstrate in just a few passes how you can go from falling over to straight up just by accelerating. I remember a time when I was riding a KLX 250 on a trail, and I came to a stop on a small hill, went to put my foot down and realized the ground was a foot away. I had a whole two seconds to contemplate whether or not to try and ride away or let it fall at a stop. At the time I let it fall, figuring it was going to fall anyways and wouldn't hurt as bad when stopped. I know better now.
That’s awesome! 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!
