Think your Harley is too big and top heavy? Watch this gal!

- I hear so many riders say that their motorcycles are too heavy and has a high center of gravity. The fact is, if you know the three motor officer techniques that I teach, there is no such thing as too heavy or high center of gravity. Watch this 5'2", 120 lb. woman whip her stock height motorcycle around like a toy. Marianne is not a motor officer, she just knows the motor officer techniques.

Sure wish I could ride like you. I’m 70 years old and riding my first bagger. I had an FX Springer for many years and you’re right, the bagger is a whole new ballgame. I love it though and I’m looking for an empty parking lot and a couple buddies just in case I drop it. So far so good. I WILL learn this!
I do a handful of maneuvers every week or two. I do the figure 8's until I'm smooth with them. I do emergency stops, obstacle avoidance, opposite turning, short turns, long turns slow and fast, hard turns from stopped and anything else I feel like I need to work on. This is what I've learned. 1 - My bike doesn't perform the same in different temperatures and conditions. 2 - My state of mind makes a big difference (attitude). 3 - no matter how good I think I am, I have to practice to stay sharp.
Well said..
I wish everyone checked their state of mind before turning the key in their ignition.
Me too. I like having people watch when I whip my Victory Vision around in tight circles at very slow rates. People cannot believe that such a big bike is that nimble. I have to explain that it is the technique and not the bike in most cases.
You my friend are in position to survive an emergency! And enjoy your rides!
Have someone video your sessions. I see so much from looking at my technique on video. It just adds to my learning process and improvement.
I’ve watched this many times and I never get tired of it !
Great to see people riding bikes with skill at normal speed , unlike other channels on youtube.
I love this video xo
OK
There are different set of skills, I respect hard work and determination
Maaane you just playa hatin
He really is a pro. All this advice and it's free. Please keep releasing this kind of information
Yes it's free. But once in a while you could pick up one of my video's from ridelikeapro.com. That way, you'll have a step by step approach to learning all the exercises and the 3 techniques and I can keep this free youtube stuff coming😁
The videos ARE worth it! I have a triple set: Ride Like a Pro, Ride Like a Pro Short Cuts and Surviving the Mean streets! They make a great Christmas gift 🎁!
this is lifesaving and informative. the ability to "dodge" in traffic or make a tight u turn comes up way more than you think. i ride these roads in here west central florida daily, and a bike is great fun, but there is so much more than to just "get on and ride". practice counts (a lot!)
motorman has probably saved countless lives with these lessons.
i think it is AWESOME to see more and more women riders
Happy to say I’m a year in the riding game. Thank you for your tutorial videos sir very helpful..
Thank you, Jerry. It always a pleasure to be reminded of The Techniques. Hope you and your honey have a healthy and happy Thanks Giving.
Thank you for all your tips and help. It's winter time here in Oregon and the bikes away for the snow and ice. But looking forward to the spring and practicing your techniques that you are passing along here. Thank you!
Thanks for the video guys. This really reinforces the essential slow speed skills.
Jim Clark from WI, You're the man Jerry...love all your training videos!
Amazing Skills! Thank you Jerry
Just got my 13th bike and it’s a Harley street glide and I’m amazed how maneuverable it is. I’ve had every make and style out there and I love my Harley. Time to find a parking lot and become one with the new bike
Big fella: 'Women can't do a figure of eight within two parking spaces.' Marianne: 'Hold my sunglasses.'
Thank you Jerry for providing your services to the public. ✌😎👌
I'm glad you showed the lady pulling off those maneuvers . Im a shorter guy and this proves even I can do this with my frame and some practice.
I'm thankful that your class jumpstarted my riding skills path.
Love your vid's and look forward to taking your course one day. Been riding 40 years, never too old too learn something....
Another excellent vid- thanks, Jerry!
Great life saving instructions.Thank you Sir!!!
I’ve been practicing these moves lately in empty car parks in England,, just got my goldwing and it tricky,,practice makes perfect tho, you make it look so easy 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the tips. I went from a 750cc to a 114 Street Glide Special. She's a freaking beast!
Great video, I wish I had this knowledge when I rode a motorcycle in '85-'86 then had an accident that put me in a coma for over 4 days. Long recovery. I'm hoping to ride again. Thank you.
Must be nice to have warm weather most of the time in FL but I wouldn't give up my mountain curves and views in VA and WV for that... really fun, sharp turns
Jerry is the most inspiring teacher!!! Dean Jackson, Seattle, WA
She's got the talent!
Love it! Thanks for all the Awesome Videos!
That gal is Bad Ass......Clap-Clap i know some guys that couldn’t do that on there good days. I would like to thank you motor for making these video’s I think you save alot of lives out there teaching your riders if they listen to you. Keep up the great training, and keep it safe... i enjoy watching your videos
100% PREACH IT Preacher! Practice is paramount. Unconscious competence. Take the time, go find your place and space and “just do it”. Motorman you rock! You are absolutely right. Love what you’re doing. Ride safe and ride and ride often.
Another great video, Jerry.
36 years I've been using the same techniques you teach, and they are life and flesh savers.
💅👴🚬💅YOUR ASS IZZ FAT
@@deanfrank7671 weirdo
I'll try this if I ever find a dry parking lot here in England.
Yeah iam with you on that one. Roll on spring time
Dont forget: You Live on a smal Island. In 100 years, online the Highlands look out of the Water.
I took my motorcycle safety course in rainy 34F temps.... 20' radius U-turns... tons of fun... :)
You'll need more than 2 parking spaces in the UK😀 these are 'murkin sized parking spaces👍
Great to see, Great to listen. Learning&Enjoy in same time! Looking for next one. ;)
It's amazing how effective it is to look where you want to go. It's so important to turn your head and focus on where you want the bike to go.
We have some nice winding roads and hills in Highlands county too.....Good video Motorman.
Saw your video tip on using the front brake in curves / turns. Thanks much!! It has made a huge difference.
That sounds pretty risky.
As usual great and informative video!
Thanks Motor Man great advice.
I enjoyed watching riding in normal speed thanks and God bless you all!!
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep making them!
With practice comes confidence--great videos
I absolutely agree with you, the more knowledge you have, the more skill you possess, the better (and safer) rider that you become, the more fun it is to ride a motorcycle. Practice, practice, practice.
Absolutely!
Geez, I gotta start practicing more!!
I have been practicing your advice for a few years &After 50 yrs of riding with no accidents I have learned alot in the last 3 yrs from your channel than most of my riding "STRAIGHT"experience ,LOL.☆THANKS ,hope to take your course in the near future. (Knowing "counter steering & rear brake u turns have impressed many I ride with .《I'm always preaching your channel to ALL RIDERS -☆☆☆☆》THANKS ☆☆
Glad to help. Thank YOU.
Wow 50yrs what’s your secret ?

Thank you kindly Motorman, I enjoyed watching this video. As I enjoy all your videos.
My pleasure!
I have all of his videos and they are a lifesaver. If you are gonna invest in a bike, invest in his videos!!!
I hit the like button just when you started saying girls can't do it you guys are funny
Thanks for info about clutch, didn't know.
Jerry is the very best-thanks so much!!!!!
That is one of the skills I love practicing. Not to mention people ask how you are able to do that. 😊
there are people who ask about my solowheel and say do a wheelie. i'm already on one wheel lol.
I’ve been riding hd since I was 15, 46 years, and you taught me a lot of new skills, thanks motorman is the real deal!
As Motorman has said in his previous vieos, was it 46 years riding experience, or 1 year repeated 45 times?
@@WeaverJ576 it's actually frightning when people say they have been riding for so Long and they cant still do something Like this.
Love your straight up attitude
Great video Jerry. I watch everyone of them and my wife and I have had the privilege to see you ride in person up in Leesburg. Thank you for what you do sir. God bless.
Thank you.
2012 V Rod anniversary edition is what I took my in, and rode around in, in Indiana. Loved it.
Got me a 2006 V Rod as my first bike back in March. Love riding it down the Indiana backroads as well.
In Maine and New Hampshire you can take classes to learn to ride like this. I had a friend who works at Laconia Harley and he both showed and taught me how to do it. It's crazy and fun to do.
Jerry, I have you to thank in much appreciation. I've been using the friction zone on my Goldwing DCT automatic. You had voiced some skepticism in the past and I'm here to tell you I ride like I fly. I control the bike, it doesn't control me. As it is in the cockpit, it is on the road. I run mostly in the Tour mode and it does everything I like and the friction zone makes that bike stable. Love the vids and advice. Keep it coming.
These are great techniques, I share these with a lot of people. I recently taught one of my club brothers the friction zone and he is killing it
~ Beautiful to watch 👌 Nice motorcycles !
Thanks for the ride ...
Very easy to understand as always. Your videos are always helpful.
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much Jerry. Makes total sense and I like the tip 'Go get a drink of water'. With us here in UK its more like a hot mug of tea. Kind regards Bob
Iam a absolute beginner and this video is so motivating, thank you
Excellent skills!
I know this is a couple years old but great filmstrip. I know people that have had motorbikes for twenty or thirty years and still have limited skills. Good job. Rock on! Friction zone is free with the bike cracked me up.
Very interesting video just shows what can be done with proper tuition
Very good tutorial...thanks
I appreciate your videos. I order your video a couple years ago. Even though I ride daily and far I still pull into empty parking lots and practice for a couple minutes
Right on!
gracias.. excelentes consejos.
Not everyone gets the chance to young like I did but I dirtbiked since I was 11 and dirtbikeing helps a lot it gets you use to the clutch and turning and really everything I'm 16 now and I drive a 1700
"Amateurs Practice Until They Get It Right; Professionals Practice Until They Can’t Get It Wrong"
Great video
What a wonderful road to ride.
Wow, very informative!
I really appreciate your video and your techniques. I’m thinking about graduating up to a bagger from a slim age of Cours. I’m a shorter fella, but really enjoy my Harley’s been riding since I was 16. Thank you and God bless you.
Your tips are wonderful, Jerry. I have been riding for less than 2 months doing almost daily practice. One of my neighbors saw me doing figure 8 in my parking lot. He came over and asked me "how long have you been riding?". It was a shock to hear me saying it is less than 2 months. He has been riding for about 8 years, and he says he cannot do those 2 parking spaces U-turns I do. You deserve a BIG thank you!
You're welcome, happy to help. Keep up the good work with your practice.
my bro bought a Streetglide this summer. I taught him to ride using a lot of these techniques and a few people have asked him the same question. "How long you been riding?''
It's actually shocking that he cant do those slow and tight turns.
i am doing my license right now and i already know where i have to work on.
Thanks for a great video! Hello from Canada
Thanks for watching!
Women on horses and bikes are the prototype of warrior women, strong, valiant, determined, and beautiful. I love women on bikes.
Got to hand it to you ... one of the best channels on YT !
Thank you.
Nice job---(as always)
impressive riding
I "Appreciate" you humor
Well done
Now, windy roads 😁
Well, once the snow is off the roads come on up to the GREAT NW 👍
been riding 20 years. I need to go back to basics
Just bought my dream bike: 1997 carbed FXD and, boy, someone swapped the front forks for beefier ones. I sure had trouble manuvering my bike at first. But I'm always practicing.
I love your videos! I don't know how I'm just now finding them.
Welcome!
I have made this comment before but I’ve been doing slow manoeuvre exercises for several years now and I still get helpful insights on almost every video you make. Today it was where that crossover point is. I have been shifting the crossover point, not knowing or paying particular attention to a specific point, which of course meant my 36’ measurement was often missed. Thanks again Gerry.
I just 2020 883 sportster great practice for this
On my ZX-14 I practice my figure 8’s on my street in the culdesac. It works good.
I bought my first bike and it's a 78 Goldwing, it's a project bike as she needs some tlc to get back out on the road but I'm taking classes in the spring and summer... I've already got some funny looks & questions. I'm 5'6 and 175lbs so I know with some training and experience I'll do just fine. Thank you for the encouragement when ppl just want to knock me down because I'm a female/little lady. Hah! They said the same thing when I bought my 1st CVPI. I like to ride big things what can I say? 😄
Hi from the U.K., Just happened to find myself here by some strtange twist of fate! Always felt easier to do things like this on my glide rather than other bikes I've owned...
Great video, thanks for the instruction, that footboard scrape sounded familiar 😊 🍻👍🤙🖖🤘✌👌
We do have a few short winding roads in Suwannee County Fl. also. I've been riding most of my life, and just started using these techniques. Some I already did unknowingly, but the friction zone I didn't think of on a motorcycle, but it works getting trucks out of the mud. I drive a truck for a living and the head and eyes works there too.
I’m looking to retire in Florida just need to find a great city to retire to. One of the things I do miss about California are the rides with my friends.
I like the bikes they are riding and would have loved having one myself 30 years ago to own, but now I am too old to begin learning all over how to ride a bike like the ones they are operating. I use to dream of owning a Harley like the large bike and not putting it down by driving crazy. Fortunately the last one I owned was never flipped while owning it until it was stolen.
Good morning from beautiful Los Angeles california. Keep up with the great videos
Im a hard maneuvers Flight Instructor. Hard Maneuvering makes hard to knock down pilots, and bikers too.
Never rode big Bikes, got a Ultra classic years ago. Wasn't long I said there had to be a better way then I found your vids and riding became vastly more enjoyable and safer.
Glad to have helped.
Great tips, but could not get away from the thought 'Perfect woman' all through the video from 5:30 😵💫 😀
2:28 i failed this figure 8 part of the MSF but now its basically my favorite thing to practice on my motorcycle
Good Job
Felt freaked out about getting my first bike, which is a family Yamaha Vstar. But seeing this video i know I just need to keep up my practice, weight doesnt matter. It’s the skill 👍👍
At least you are starting out right by looking for information.
Stay safe, and have fun.
She’s like hold my red bull and watch this !
Thanks for great videos, got some family down where you filmed this, nice country...
Good channel,good tips.
Thanks 👍
I like how he gets the rear brake to squeak so you know when he applies it lol
