- I did 100 u-turns a day for 30 days… here’s what happened. If u turns are some of the hardest slow speed motorcycle skills to do, if I can master this challenge, I can do anything, right? I just got my new bike, the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro, and I wanted to make sure I could handle it before my cross country trip to a training with the MSF and Jocelin Snow.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Hi. 🙂 Just out of curiosity, how tall are you?
Hi...did u end up replacing or switching the crash bars?
There were some nice leans in this video. Now all you need is consistency and to stop over thinking it. You're not docking the space shuttle to the space station, you're just riding a motorcycle the way it is designed to be ridden. Ride it like you rented it!
Or as we say in the cops, drive it like ya stole it!!
Good job! You are so brave. You go girl!!
@@ShadyGrady3 her progress is going fine, relax. She's been on bikes larger and smaller. Besides the the size, comfortability is important and she seems to have it with a 900. The Tiger is not a speed demon. She can handle it alright
I really like the collaboration between the bigger motorcycle channels. Having you collaborate with Moto jitsu and Motoman shows us that you are taking it seriously and helps us learn more as well.
@@ShadyGrady3 have you even watched all her videos? Yes I do think she is probably riding a bike that may unfortunately be too high for her, but she is far more experienced than most of us and is at least taking the initiative to try and practice which not many do.
Can you sir show us a video of you doing some U-turns and figure eights on your bike?
Dude! That swag and MSF class for the kid was a class act. Super cool and well deserved for being such a good lad.
What does 'MSF' mean, please?
@@jetsparrow3171 I believe that's the motorcycle safety foundation, I think they give the courses/classes in america
@@deathownme True! They are nationwide and their endorsment makes out insurrance cheaper for our motorcycles. Take their class aslo means you dont have to take a driving test when you get your moto license. It's the best way to learn to ride a bike here.
@@Dragoninja833 Question, what are the steps there to get a drivers license for the bike? because this sounds like it's just one class?
Yes with helpful intention, and probably not many friends at school, but like myself who am slightly autistic and have adhd, his parents obviously gave him what mine gave me.. a motorcycle to make up for lack of friends. I got my first motocross bike age ten, and am 58 now and still riding free. Best friends in my life are my wife, my dogs, my bikes. IWould like to be also able to say my son too, but he was internationally kidnapped in 2014 and i havent seen him since 2018, and believe he has been parentally alienated, and brainwashed to hate me, and doesn't want to see me, so won't be counting that, as it is not in my life now. Prefer animals and bikes to humans. One's dogs dont stab you in the back, but people do
Loved how the kid-coach gets rewarded for being a helpful dude. Hope he grows up with that passion!
Great work on the training! After 7 years of riding it's hard to break bad habits and fears but after just 30 days you seemed to have conquered a lot of them!
Very inspiring for a new rider. Thanks for sharing this point.
Your humility in candidly showing what most riders would consider the most embarassing aspects of their riding makes you the most inspiring motorcycle content creator on CZcams.
It makes me want to get out and practice and get better too!
Well said.
Came here to say the same thing. Subscribed
Definitely. This is a great instructional video on his to properly train. After watching a lot of videos, I'm getting the feeling that overthinking the bike is the one thing you ABSOLUTELY need to overcome to allow yourself to be a very competent and confident rider. I'm will use this as my own way to train and just get better and better.
This was great to watch. To witness how helpful practice can be. I loved how you welcomed the help from "Coach" and how you gifted him with proper gear. He seems like a great kid and for you to insure he has safe gear sends a strong message to him.
That's definitely a good kid! Most teenagers wouldn't be bothered to look up from their phones long enough to help some strange lady practice motorcycle drills in a parking lot and learn to be a good rider with her. "Coach" is now a lifelong motorcycle rider, and probably future for real MSF coach because of Doodle!
@@uneasyr1der Yup she has no idea how much she really impacted him. God bless them
As a woman that’s just gotten back into their motor biking journey after my first bike was stolen, you are such an inspiration! I’ve been putting off practicing on my bike and conquering my fear of U-Turns but you’ve motivated me so much. Thank you!!❤
"Train insane or stay the same". Thats damn good advice. Somehow I knew deep down that's what I've been needing to reach that next level from this plateau I'm stuck in, but it really helps seeing someone like you actually do it and to show us. In the roman legions, part of the reason the veterans were so valued was because they were examples to the younger, newer men that their difficult life was indeed possible.
Coach got the hook up!
You're such a great ambassador for riding, thanks for keeping it positive out there.
This is now my favorite Doodle video! Girl, this was amazing! I love how you always push yourself and train to improve. I bet Coach will never forget the cool biker chick that let him rev her bike and got him new gear. You’re an awesome person. Don’t ever change.
Seconded, Amen!
Totally Excited watching and agree with you as well.
I'm not sure what I admire more - your "sticktoitiveness" or what you did for Coach. I'm a 67 year old who has been riding many, many motorcycles for much longer than you have been alive and you've given me something to strive for. Thank you!
You did a GREAT THING for "Coach"! I'm sure he will remember this for the rest of his life; Do good for a biker and you'll have a friend for life! ❤
"....then one day this kid showed up on his mini bike and he had kept coming back ever since."
Coach ftw! That kid rocks.
Great video. But the visit to Coach and delivering the goodies had me tearing up. So wonderful how you are promoting the sport.
That was beyond amazing what you did for "Coach"
The kid showing up was my favorite part. He saw another person on two wheels and wanted to make a friend.
Every now and again you make a video that makes me cry. This one made me cry 😭 Your tenacity and tender heart are rare things in this world and I’m so appreciative to be able to witness it. I’m a better rider because of you! “Train insane or remain the same”….thank you MJ and thank you Carolyn ♥️🙏♥️
And Motorman! Thank you, sir!
When “coach” joined your practice session and how you welcomed him. It made my day… thank you.
Totally impressed with watching your discipline of keeping your eyes up and looking where you want to go vs looking at whatever it is you're trying to avoid running into. For me, that's the hardest thing to do when I'm trying to corner and do low-speed maneuvers. I know it works, but dang is it hard to keep my eyes up.
I honestly appreciate that you are so real about the size of the bike and that you are not an ego rider. I know everyone says when they are a beginner that they have dropped bikes, but you actually show your errors and that's how you learn. That's why you are one of my favorite motorcycle youtubers!
Your progress have been fantastic. It's been really cool to watch you grow as a rider. What you did for "Coach" was absolutely incredible. That got me in the feels. That's something he will remember for the rest of his life.
I love how you constantly push yourself outside of your comfort zone and always search for new moto experiences and challenges. Much respect!
You are an inspiration! I've bee riding 51 years (67 yo, 29.5" inseam) and am increasingly struggling w my KTM 690R w dirt wheels on (supermoto 17' wheels are fine). I need to practice and will start a "100 rolling mounts & dismounts a day for 30 days" as soon as the snow clears! Love your attitude!
Oh Doodle….. What a wonderful and memorable time you gave to that young kid “coach”. The attention you showed him will forever help him as he grows up / gains more self confidence…[as I know from my own experience when I was young boy]. It’s a great and quick moment in time, having that crush on an attractive individual, daydreaming as weeks go by. And unfortunately, that hurt you have as days pass and you didn’t get to see your crush 😢. Time heals the heart, and new adventures [crushes] come and go. It’s the memories you gave to “coach” that will last into his old age. From time to time, when he sees a motorcycle or something related to a motorcycle, his mind will be triggered back to that special time he got to spend with you and the day’s activity on a motorcycle.
I am so so thankful I found your videos. I'm a brand new rider and your videos have been so incredible helpful!! I also love your honesty and realness with challenges. It's been so fun to watch your videos. Today I spent an hour doing figure 8s and U turns and all these tips were great!
If anyone can watch this without a smile, they are just an awful person. Thank you, Doodle. You are an inspiration!
why am i a awful person if i don't
I've said it before and I have to say it again; you motivate me! Jerry does as well. Motojitsu also. What a great crowd of motivating teachers/mentors
This is one of the very best Bikergirl content creaters on YT. So much variety and natural "be myself, girl next door" sort of presentation, that is always so well edited. Thanks Doodle.
This is STRAIGHT AWESOME! You are making me a better rider watching you showing your vulnerability. THANKS👍👍👍
Something I've started that helped me a few times. Carry a velcro strip that will stick to itself and long enough to wrap around the front brake. It'll help tire rolling awayif you can't hold the brake while picking it up. Keep it up Doodle!
That's cheating.
And if you're not cheating, you aren't trying hard enough.
@SoloPilot6 I'm usually solo on a 500lb bike treating it like a dirt bike. I cheat every chance I can 😅 * 14' vstrom 1000*
Congratulations on producing great content!! AND making great progress!! You are a great example for men and women, young and old. Persistence and practice with patience is key. I love how you continue to train and reach out for help from more experienced coaches. I can’t wait to see you as a rider coach!! Can’t wait to get my bike out for the season.
Great points, that i was thinking as well. She's going to be a awesome teacher.
The equivalent to the MSF courses here in Canada (Quebec) are super intense. At the end of our classes we were doing the figure 8 with four riders at the same time while dragging pegs turning tightly and slowing down in the intersection not to hit someone. This should be the level of skill required to pass a course and get a license in every country!
Now that is a SAFETY and TOTAL CONTROL LEvel work. I have yet to ride or take a course, now i will strive with this in mind. Thanks for sharing.
at first ichsoe MSDF because it is shorter + faster then some courses,but nowI regret now taking a longer class, even tho i pass and been riding for months, i still go out and pratice. my braking, counterweighting and uturns all need work. luckily their is extended+advance msf courses for this i plan to take !
Been following you for a while and it's exciting to see you improve so quickly, of course it was a lot of work as well but well worth it! People only show highlights of them on a motorcycle but nobody ever shows the work, this is inspiring me to go out and practice too!
Always enjoy your positivity and open approach to learning how to live with a motorbike. Thank you for all your hard work bringing this to us!
Practicing is key, learning what you never master too.
However, I believe that you need to be able to lift your bike up on your own for a simple reason: you are not always surrounded by people. That is a lesson you learn especially on an adventure bike when you are in the middle of nowhere.
Keep posting the good content!
Cheers from Cambodia!
agreed, and if you cant learn this basic stuff in a day or so and need classes over and over. its probably not your thing
Love seeing this progression! Seeing your excitement when you where pushing it and not being afraid to reach out for help. Amazing!
I think I've seen two of your videos before, but I really enjoyed this one. You offered great advice that is applicable to riding and other skills, you showed both a desire for growth and the willingness to actually do it, and you did something incredibly nice for someone else. You are definitely pretty freaking awesome.
This is fantastic Doodle! It's great to see you get better and it lets me and others know we'll get better too if we just apply our skills and make sure to practice.
Nice work, Doodle! I haven't done 3,000 u-turns in my over-sixty years of riding. 🥰
You are such a charismatic content producer! I salute your humble approach, and your generosity! Happy, safe riding!
I learned how to ride on ice when I was fifteen, and how to ride a unicycle at 14. These both helped me be better at how everything may feel on two wheels!
I just found your video and channel and this video is phenomenal. You are willing to improve yourself, you‘re listening to advice and keep working on yourself. You also wear proper motorcycle gear. It‘s great to see how someone keeps working on herself. It‘s even better to see how the work gets rewarded with success.
Always good to keep your confidence up. And when in doubt of skill loss, just practice like you did. Not everyone will go and do that. So props to you for doing so!
Think I am going to do this in the coming season. Winter is almost done here in Ontario Canada.
I bought the 1200 GT PRO Been riding 15+ yrs but need to practice things like this more.
You go girl. I’m 64 and getting back into riding. You inspire me. To practice as well. I need to step up my game. Thank You
That was fantastic seeing the progress in only 30 short days, practice, practice, practice. I'm 50 and booked in for my provisional licence here in Australia next month and this video shows me how important it is to keep practicing the skills course so I can nail it on the day. PS: Loved the exchange between you and coach, beautiful souls.
How did you go? I'm 53 and going for my licence in 3 weeks! I struggle with this stuff so much....
@@kyliemurphy8813 no problems, passed first go. I practiced the skills course alot before going. Good luck.
I am trending right behind you in desires action and deeds to get into a course. Yes, have to put in the time into building the skills. I too know understand how mission critical it is to build the basics early on. enjoy the ride.
I really enjoyed the progression and documentation on your Uturns! Also, how sweet is coach?! You are a huge inspiration ❤
Love your attitude
You’re becoming quite the ambassador for motorcycle practice and training !
Keep it up !
Great Job! It's amazing how gaining confidence in the slow speed manuevers translates to other aspects of our riding - great job, keep it up!!
Real cool progress! Due to your videos you get to actually see how you improve. I never had such devices in the 70s and 80s. It was more of a "pin the throttle and see what happens" learning curve for me back then. Now that I am aging, practice drills may be a good thing.
Your video's keep getting better since I started watching you in 2020. Always good quality content. 👌 It makes me wish I could get out there and practice on my bike right now if it weren't for the snow.
There is no substitute for practice. You seriously have the input of 2 of the best instructors in the game currently. Greg and Jerry are the Jedi masters of motorcycle control. They have both greatly helped me over the years.
Hi Doodle! I enjoy your videos. You, Jerry, and Motojitsu are inspiring. I appreciate how authentic you are. You show us your fears and the defeats leading to achievements. This reminds me that not everything in riding is an immediate success but that practice does make perfect. Thank you!
Awesome! Great to see your improvement through practice. And, like you said at the end, if you’re going to ride with loaded panniers or a passenger you need to practice that also. Can’t wait to see how you do on Jocelin’s course with your new bike!
What an awesome video! I teared up when you gave Coach the gear. I'm going to go out and practice my uturns right now!
This is the first video I've watched of yours and love the a human-ness of your experience and how you say out loud all the things us guys are afraid to verbalize to others!! Love it, thanks and I'm subscribing and your riding skills and attitude are humbling!
What a wholesome video. I hope you know how impactful that act of kindness was for kids like Coach. You're a class act, doodle.
Just finished editing this video somewhere in Arizona, halfway through my cross country trip!

Well done! Good progress! Try counter-leaning with the body (lean away from the direction of lean of the bike, - like outside of the circle you're turning in). It massively helps with the balance when increasing the speed and lean angle
Turn your wheel toward the direction of where you need to lift it off the ground. It makes it easier to lift.
Hey lady....you are COOL! And I'm mean that too. You know how many ladies would love to ride but are way too intimidated to even try. You are an inspiration to a lot of women so please keep up what you are doing.
30 days of nothing. angel degree in 4 mph go laren how to handle your bar😢😢 15 min wasted tnkx
Train with a police motorcycle unit? If you ever find yourself in Central Alabama around the 3rd Tuesday of any given month, I'm sure we could work something out!
Your determination is truly inspirational!
Proud of you for making this happen. You are an inspiration to me to do more skills practicing. Thanks
I practice my slow skills every time I get on the bike in every weather condition. I practice FULL LOCK circles followed by FULL LOCK figure 8's. I cover both brakes and the clutch. I aim for 20-25% throttle and feather clutch and rear brake to control speed. When I dip into full lock I lean the bike way over and move my butt to the top of the seat on the outside to counterbalance. You looked like you were just starting to get the hang of leaning the bike towards the end of the video. I strongly encourage you to ditch the cones and try FULL LOCK turns where you turn the bars until they won't turn any more and KEEP THEM THERE throughout the duration of your turn. It is one of the harder skills to get the hang of, but one of the most useful.
This was a great video, you're just so cute. What a sweet kid "coach" is. I'm proud of you for the effort and attitude you put into improving. I've been riding for 50 years. I used to be fearless on a bike. I've had several surgeries over the past 5 years that have cut into my time in the saddle. I haven't lost my passion for riding, but I've lost some confidence in my ability. As soon as riding season starts, I need to get out to an empty parking lot and practice. Keep up the good work.
Seeing you put in this work and hearing about your struggles with the drills make me feel not so bad about being like a newborn giraffe on ice when I first set out.
Great honest video. Lots of riders like me riding for 30+ years but only basic skills. If you don't put yourself out of your comfort zone or practice you will never learn.
Amazing bike control! well done for sticking with it. Great that you have a little coach from time to time! Clearly some great mentors as well!
I turn 50 tomorrow and have been riding bikes for over 30 years. I need to put in more of this kind of practice. It was great to see your progress.
I’m about to sell one of my sport bikes for an ADV and I’m excited for the new experience. Thanks for the great content.
You can do it!
I'm right with you Pete, both on age, experience, and the need to do intentional practice like she did.
Really good work and progress. I agree with your assessment of learning in class goes away without constant practice. On my KLR650 I practiced u turns on a small 1 lane road, both directions. Significant lean and counter leaning, precise throttle and braking and it became second nature and made riding the bigger bikes in the garage easier. However, if I went out today and tried that right now I know I'd likely go over because its been 2 years since I did the insane practice. As soon as the weather breaks in Pa it's time do shake off the rust again, on road and off road with the XR400R. Good luck with the next adventure and be safe out there.
As always...great content. Your willingness to face your challenges head on in incredible. I absolutely love how Coach was all in helping you out and how much you were able to hook him up with proper gear, class and other goodies. That will for sure stay with him for the rest of his life. oh and you're right...bullies shooting at him isn't funny...not one bit!
I rode cross country and back last Autumn...it's an experience for sure!
That was fantastic. Great work and dedication! It was also awesome what you did for Coach. Great video!
Great job, you could definitely see your improvement in skill and confidence. After watching your video and some MCRider vids I've decided to practice more myself. I once did a stoppie our of necessity to avoid hitting a deer. My riding buddy was behind me and said it looked cool as soon as he realized I wasn't going to hit the rogue deer. Lol!
Omg! 😅
The improvement between Day1 and Day 30 was amazing! Great job, and never stop learning!
Good job. You have style and class. Most importantly you know what you want and are not afraid to go get it. I look forward to watching you progress. Well done!
This is amazing! I’m so inspired by this!! You rock!
So awesome. I Just finished some training with a couple of 20+ year motor officers. It's amazing what I learned even after I've been riding for 50+ years. Keep it up, I love your progress.
This type of content is really cool. Cool to see some of the process of training and I'm sure Coach is going to remember this stuff for a long time. Great video.
You’re such an inspiration! Love watching you. I am a relatively new rider. Wiped out on a group ride last year and won’t be riding in groups for a while. I got back on and rode but am not as confident as I should be. A friend is letting me borrow Jerry’s book and videos so I can practice my drills. Thanks for showing that you drop your bike too!
Been following since you took the ADVRC and I'm so proud to see you out practicing and to hear you're becoming a coach!
I'm flabbergasted!!! You nailed it and did so well with confidence that could be seen under your helmet!! Way to go Doodle, way to go! And have a great Easter weekend.
Your just a kind hearted person! I wish I have someone like you on my motorcyling journey!
As someone who also struggled with an ADV previously, practice makes perfect. It's great to see you progress so quickly. That Tiger is a beast that you've tamed.
This was a great video. I really like your commitment to training, practicing and pushing yourself. I started off road riding on big bikes about 5 years ago, after a lifetime of street riding. I've come a long way because I approached the learning process much like you do. Getting the training is 1/2 the battle, but you have to put in the time and effort to practice and not just go riding. Good on you, super cool the way you and the "Coach" helped each other.
I was almost in tears when you put your day-30 turns next to your day-1’s…you did it!!! Practice does make a huge difference and I’m very much encouraged. Thank you and good luck on your trips!
Good vibes! I love your videos, your positivity is very encouraging. Thank you!!
The editing really compliments the story-telling of your videos. Very enjoyable to watch. Left me wanting more
Girl, thank you! I'm in GA as well and follow all of your adventures. I just starting riding last March, started out on a Vstar 650 and in February, moved up to a roadstar 1600 and I am so nervous with this bike. I hadn't rode all winter, so I feel like I'm back to beginner mode and watching your practice these u turns (I haven't done one yet on the new bike) every day at a parking lot has given me hope that I too can master this bigger bike!
Wow doodle, what a masssive difference!. You are bloody doing it, soo proud of you. Giving us all a kick up the arse to be the best we can be!. Love your videos between you and Jocelyn , Jerry and MotoJitsu , I’ve gained so much knowledge and am a returning biker after 17years away!. Thankyou to you all. Xxxx
How sweet and inspiring ❤️ I needed this thank you ❤️❤️❤️ keep posting keep going!
Great, Great video. I’ve been riding for years with well over 250K miles, but still need to practice my riding skills constantly. It’s amazing how fast you can lose competency on a motorcycle. You’re tenacity in learning pays off. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Great job, I'm proud of you and love the way you pay it forward
I don't know how I got here I don't ride or even own a motorcycle, I'm impressed and congratulations you got this.
Your production values have gotten really good...congratulations, you are an inspiration. I sent this to a friend who I want to start riding the way you did.
6:53 I loved that, "What", and those two, "No" when Jerry said you were getting bored.
This video was absolutely awesome! Congrats on your trip! Gives me hope and inspiration on my motorcycle journey ahead! God Bless!
Best Doodle video. You are inspiring me to get out and practice u-turns!
Well done! And thanks for your efforts. 🤟 I really enjoyed watching this video!
Loved this!Great job!!! Much Respect!
Good job noodle, could really see your progress,
In the beginning I was afraid you would continue
To practice doing it wrong,
But good for you you weren't afraid to ask for help, looking forward to watching you progress,
You stated your goals now make it happen. Hang in there.
Doodle, this is a really awesome video. Funny, fun and informative! Great job!
Love this! Thanks for sharing. And go Coach!
His grateful hug must have made it all worth it. I know I cherish the hugs from my kids and grand kids.
