- 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...
She’s adorable. I actually learned a lot watching her. Thanks for posting. Great instructor! Great student too.
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.
These videos are gold to this old re entry rider. Thank you so much!
This teacher is the best and if people pocket any pride they can learn because no one can train like this man
Lol, I was saying turn! I’m going to find a big parking lot to practice on.I’m getting so much knowledge watching your videos. This Gal has really gotten better since the first video.
Lauren is a quick study - you can see her excitement in getting this right. Practice makes perfect.
Smiling!
Seen it the original invasion of the body snatcher, my brother and I check out the whole house before we could sleep.
Great videos, been riding for a few years (since 1964) must admit ride slower than when young and foolish, but I still got a lot of good pointers watching your stuff.
Live in the Boston mountain area of N.W. Arkansas and we have some great roads around here, son lives in Branson, MO about 40 miles away and we ride together some,
Huge improvement over the first video Lauren!!!
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.
Heck yeah!! That was great fun to watch AND educational!! I was cheering her on!! Could feel her enthusiasm and excitement from here! THANK YOU for sharing these videos!!
I happened upon your videos by accident this week and I'm so glad I did. I've been riding street bikes for 34 years basically without instruction (minimal basics) and no one has EVER shared the rear brake while turning technique with me! I'm going to practice this. 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.
I am so impressed with the quality of instruction and clarity. You can recognize the level of confidence the instructor passes forward. Great job
OMG so like me I could turn left all day. Couldn't turn right for anything. Have been off for many yrs. Thinking of getting back on. If I do I will start all over again. Beginner class straight up to advance. Thanks Jerry and Donna you inspire me!!!!
She's is awesome! Her bike sounds mean too, love the exhaust note.
I just bought my first Harley and with just one of your videos I learned how to make a u turn or sharp turn without having trouble. Thanks for making these educational videos.
This is an example of quality instruction and how you should treat people.
Great instructor, awesome student, and one hell of a bike! 👍👍👍
God bless her. Great job! Excellent teacher 👍💙
Jerry, you need an electric bicycle. I don’t know why but it is great to see how Lauren has progressed from that first video. She makes me want to get out there and practice more. “ Inspirational “ Thanks.
Nice video, great job to the both of you. I must admit, I enjoyed watching Lauren ride ... easy on the eyes.
Lauren, I'm so proud of you! Look at your progress, you're doing awesome. Turn!
Sir, You are without a doubt the best motorcycle instructor I have ever had the privilege of watching. I cannot wait to come to your class this year!
The characteristics of an excellent instructor is first, infinite patience, second constant analysis and safe and accurate instruction, and persistent review and feedback. You also have to love what you do! Great instructional video. I am looking forward to taking the "Ride Like A Pro" course in January! Thanks for posting this, and for your student allowing you to do so. Seriously, the toughest part is turning your head to where you are going to end up rather than looking down or becoming misdirected and running over the orange cones! Great job Jerry! Also, I love the horn on her bike too! :-) This gal can ride!
I cannot fault this gal for anything. With that can do, will do attitude ..... well, just saying it's refreshing to not hear one excuse after another about why they can't do this or didn't do that.
A++ for her!
There's been many times over the past 4 months I can't do things, and it's my skill level. These videos are so helpful. So proud of Lauren, you go girl!!!
EXCELLENT Work There Jerry. She has made leaps and bounds beyond how she was performing on the first day. At her pace , she will surpass me in skills. Thank you for sharing. Be sure she get this . SHE WILL BE AN AMAZING RIDER. I would be privileged to ride with her. And thank you Jerry for your patience and concern to do what is right. None of us will ever be able to repay you for your efforts and abilities to train with such ELEGANCE.
''None of us will ever be able to repay you for your efforts and abilities to train with such ELEGANCE''. Well, you could send a check...I'm kidding.
what a great involved and motivated student, and so cute and sweet to boot ;)
She's all kinds of adorable. I started riding bikes in the 70s but this was still fun to watch.
Her progression is awesome. Nicely done.
A great video. I've been riding for over 20 some years and I have to say this women is better suited to be on the road than I am. I can do the u turns and emergency stops, but total control is always practice, practice, practice. Thanks for sharing this video. I also go to the empty week end parking lots, usually schools and try to do figure eights, cant do enough to stay sharp and more importantly, stay safe. Knowledge and muscle memory will save you from stupid situations. Like Death. Ride safe.
Looking good! It’s not that easy which is why courses like this are so helpful, followed by practice, practice, practice.
This is a fantastic instructional video. I can’t wait to do Ride Like a Pro Iowa next month!
This was so great. I am a novice and watching this video really excited me.
Gotta tell you motorman would love to take a class with you.but, you are about 5 1/2 hours from Miami so I watch all your videos. Thank for all you do.
Does she have an older sister that I can ask out? LOL She is a sweetie!
Just amazing I've always loved your programs but this is by far one of your best videos so far, so much easier to relate to she's a talented rider with great potential for improvement I'm impressed !
Wow! Lauren is doing great...congrats to all. She had a private lesson from the expert rider/master trainer himself. Hmm, reminds me of my old military days--back then we had Jump Masters ! Also, that's a nice looking Indian Scout. Be well.
I have been away from motorcycle riding for forty years and this is much needed advice as I get back to riding.
Mr. Motor officer, retired, you seem like a really good dude and you got my Mass respect for sharing your knowledge with these people and it tickles me pink to see that lady ride that big bike the way she does 👍👍👍 recently got an Electra Glide, the seven letter model Ultra Glide I can't remember the letters sorry I've been riding rice my whole life, but anywho I really appreciate what you're doing, you've taught me a few things already and I've been riding since I was 7. problem is I was on like a ten year Hiatus where I didn't have a street bike and then I started back off on a big Electra Glide 2001 and it's like a tank compared to anything else I've ever owned, it literally weighs more than twice as much as any bike I've ever owned, even my Suzuki 1100 gsxl 1980, but anywho sir, thanks for all you do and God bless. keep it up so world of motorcycle riders needs people like you, there's not many left 🙏
Awesome. I bought your video years ago and became a much better rider. But, there is room for improvement especially through the exercises in this video. Congrats to her for getting through it! I will be ordering more from you.
Not bored watching this. This is very inspiring. Almost has me thinking my wife could learn to ride.
Only if she really wants to learn. That's what this woman had. The will to do it and do it right. If your wifes a ''eh maybe I might try it'' type. Forget it.
@@motorman857 Totally agree. I have never encouraged or even suggested that she do this. That would have to come from her.
I'm watching this she is doing really good she's concentrating hard
What a lucky rider yo get one on one class with Jerry. She did wonderful bc of a great teacher who knows it takes time and practice. I'm signed up for the July class in Cleveland on my softail.
No luck was needed. Because she had such a great attitude, I offered her some one on one training, and she jumped at the chance.
@@motorman857 An offer she couldn't refuse. Who would. I'm signed up for the Cleveland class in July, Great Lakes Riding Like A Pro. I hope I'm not biting off more than i can chew. Lol.
@@lynnmichel6440 Practice the techniques shown on my Ride Like a Pro video BEFORE, taking the class, and you'll be way ahead of the game.
Great job Lauren!
I went to the church parking lot and on my bicycle and practiced before taking my motorcycle just like in this video. It does really help.
Love her attitude, and skill for that matter.
What a good student this woman is... kudos
Much improvement! You are a lucky lady to get one-on-one training from the best instructor
I've also been practicing and believe it or not it's also a great workout. I was knackered after a couple of hours.
If practicing feels like a workout, it's because you're tensing up. Try to relax and stay loose. The bike reacts to inputs much better when you aren't tensed and rigged.
@@motorman857 Probably, I was trying the bleeding ulcer a bit too early for my skill level. Got up to all but two bollards before putting foot down. Shows the skills these big bike boys have. I only have a GZ 125 hs.
Good job she makes it look easy hope I learn as quickly!!!
Very Valuable TEACHING!
I just moved to the Tampa area. I will definitely be in touch to attend a course.
Great riding😄👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💃🏽🏍
How do you get that huge parking lot just for yourself.... I'm jealous...😂😂😂
exactly
Next to a school. Talk to the school district and you can probably rent it for a nominal fee.
Close by where I live are a few business parks with office buildings. Empty in the weekends, so I can do a few practice laps there. Check out google maps with the satellite view to scan around for decent sized lots!
Jerry...I've been following Lauren's progress from the first video. I am so IMPRESSED with her progress with your instructions... Kudo's to YOU for sharing with ALL of us 2 wheelers.. On any of your trainning videos, do you give the demensions of how far apart the cones are placed in the "circle to the left- circle to the lest" are?? I've been a motorcycle rider for over 55 yrs ( I'm 71 now) and have MASTERED the straight line manuvers...lol But, until I started watchen your Trainning videos, I really haven't masters ANYTHING....Thanks for ALL your sharing...
Good job!! And she looks good to!!
What year and model is her bike. It looks try nice. It has a classic look to it. Very nice bikeł

I find that turning your shoulders an chest and not just your head, gives you a better look at where you're going in a u turn, circlework etc and for me and I'm sure, for anyone else who tries it, it also feels more natural and comfortable. Do you teach that technique later on in the course or ... ?
Respect, brother, great vids , hope I can find the next episode :-)
Beautiful bike sound of that engine is sweet
I did! Excellent video
Where the head and eyes go the bike goes. You’ve got to believe that.
Jerry do you ever use a drone camera to get a Birdseye view ? I believe there are Drones that will follow automatically without an operator . And if it falls out of the sky , no worries everyone's wearin a helmet .
I used a drone in the Ride Like a Pro video and the Short Cuts to Riding Like a Pro video. The drones belonged to the film crew.
Jerry very Cool vlog just shows you can do it. Turn that head snap it. Be Safe Ride Safe Be Cool. 🏍🇺🇸
thanks.
She's doing a Great job on that big Indian. Congrats.
Great Job.!.!... 👍.. 👏
Is it possible to get a one on one skilled technique as I have arthritis in my neck.
Great video Jerry
The shock collar comment was funny. I think at that point you would have bitten off more than you could chew.
What are the dimensions of this course? I'd like to try these exercises.
Go to ridelikeapro.com and get the Ride Like a Pro video and you will receive a booklet which shows how to set up all the exercises in the proper order AND, written instructions for each exercise. That's 2 hours of detailed instructions in video and All for 20 bucks.
Very helpful!
Hi should we be in 1st or in 2nd gear when doing offset Jerry?
1st gear.
Love it
I use to watch the American riders on there Harley Flat Tracks in the 70s they had NO Fear when racing. So now old i want to buy a Bultaco Astro Frame unfortunately can not find a Frame to buy in UK
Way to go Lauren!
Episode 3 better be wheelies.
If the ability to perform a wheelie would keep a rider safe on the street, I'd be teaching it. But since I can't think of a single instance where that would be the case, no wheelies in my course.
@@motorman857 did you ever do this course on a steap hill u-turn uphill and down hill?
@@danlevesque5437 No.
@@danlevesque5437- I have video's of me doing u-turns on a steep hill here on youtube. but I haven't held a class on a steep hill, if that's what your asking.
@@motorman857 it was what I was asking if your firmilar with the Mt Washington auto road I once had to do 2 u-turns to get something that fell off my bike (a 99 road star ) so it dawned on me that I never saw you do any hillside courses watch the videos on RUclips of motorcycles riding that road👍😎
Who is that lovely lady rider."?
Ah, Invasion of the Body Snatchers! Yup, know the original well!
Nice bike!
Just like riding a bicycle right Jerry.
I think it's nice that you would spend extra time with a student having difficulty. And I know you're not doing it for free.
And o did notice some improvement. About how much time did you spend with this lovely lady?
2.5 hours.
@@motorman857 she learned quickly. But she had a great teacher.
Awsome
What model Indian is that? Superchief?
2015 Scout
Who's the lucky dude that gets to say this is my girlfriend?
👍👍👍👍
Not too shabby in a controlled environment. I don't like her having to put her foot on the pavement while she's riding . I'm sure she will get better. I just hope she can exercise some common sense when she has cars around her doing their own thing. I'd like to know how she's been after driving in traffic for 6 months after this video was shot. She's clearly dedicated That counts for a lot. Good video though.
She still makes mistakes? Well yea. That's why she came to the class. In addition, 90% of riders who've been riding for many many years make the same mistakes yet never get any training.
Is Lauren single......she's a keeper!
I don't think she understands why she is to turn her head, she is just turning it because you tell her too. She needs to understand that the head turn it to look where she wants to go.
gps lmao shes awesome so are you
Love that Indian!
That is the kind of woman I would like to get to know
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.
She’d probably do a lot better on a Hayabusa.
Woohoo 🎉🙌!! 🇺🇸 @stlchuckhd
