  • Lauren got down to 24' U-turns. In the next segment, part III, of today's lesson, you will see Lauren running the entire intersection at 24'. I will post that video tomorrow along with her going thru my Ride Like a Pro class with other riders. For more information on our classes, dvds, book, thumb drive and locations, www.ridelikeapro.com

    Motorman, I can not express how much I appreciate your content on youtube I'm 58 and have been riding for over 40 years, and so I'm proof that an old dog can learn new tricks. Thank you for all your time and effort that you put into making these videos. I definitely understand you're comments about "other so called experts" on youtube, I've watched several different youtube channels and it seems to me that no one is really teaching proper handling of a motorcycle rather it be a sports bike or cruiser, the techniques that you teach seems to me would be universal on all motorcycles especially the slow speed maneuvering exercises. You are basically the only one that I've come across that even talks about using the rear brake and friction zone, so please keep up the great work you are doing...

    How can anybody put a thumbs down on this video? Lauren is lovely, she is obviously doing what's needed to gain expertise. There's no stopping her. The bike is beautiful and while I don't know about the dog collar thing... the instructor is amazing. Super happy I found this. So much to learn. I am hooked.

    I don't think I ever rooted for someone so hard. Great to see the one on one and the little subtle tips. Great to see Lauren's enthusiasm and endurance. She didn't seem to get upset or flustered as I would have. I love her excited expression when she understands what you say. I thought the offset cone weave was the most fun part in the class I took in PA.

Thank you Jerry you are awesome and everything you say makes sense!

    That was remarkable improvement from the earlier video of her not being able to lean. Very impressive coaching; she wasn't unwilling, but afraid. Once she saw that the proper speed and lean actually worked in her favor, she conquered the skill, and her confidence level increased by leaps and bounds. Well done both teacher and student.

Do you teach that technique later on in the course or ... ?

    She is not looking to the center part of the course when she is making her turns either that is why she is cutting herself off and not setting up for the next turn soon enough. Not looking back far enough during the turns, to hit the center marks. I like that bike she is on too. Nice bike. She needs to get into a figure eight to practice both turns evenly. Left turns are too easy for her she needs work on the right one where the exhaust pipe is so she learns how low she can go there.
